PROGRESS.

The Little River News of this week has two items that should be of more than passing interest to Mena. One is that the people of Ashdown are or ganizing to pave the prominent busl- ness streets of the town and two lead try road districts are being organized. (There are something like nine of these already in Little River County)
 The second, and leading news item tells of the taking over by the city council of the Waterworks and sewer age systems of the town. both to be handled by one man chosen by the council as superintendent. And in connection with this latter story, this statement is made:
 "The affairs of the water district
 are said to be in good shape, a re-
 serve fund having been created
 that justified the suspension of the
 sewerage tax for this year
 And down in Ashdown the water is pumped from wells 365 days of each year, that town not having an arran- cement with old Mother Nature to pour pure, soft water into the mains more than half the time.
 Mena needs 10 get hump on her self" and not quit humping until she has a first-class dependable water plant efficiently handled.
 And, next to water in importance comes the sewerage matter-and if as is claimed, Mena can secure the present sewerage system at a very low price, and can. by using it at pres ent rates. pay for it without extra taxation, mighty little grass should be allowed to grow until the arrange ment is completed-Mena Star.

remarkable results throughout the United States and Canada. and
which has been having a phenomenal sale wherever it has been intro
duced, will now be sold in Milbank, the exclusive agency having been
awarded to N. j. Beser. The amazing success achieved by this med
icine in only four years time is not only phenomenal. but unpreced.
ented.
The discovery Of Tanlac, the beginning of its manufacture. the es
tablshment Of the large and modern laboratories at Dayton, Ohio,
occupying more than &C, 900 feet of floor space, reads more like fiction
than facts from latter-day commercial history.
Although placed on the market but little more than four years ago,
over twelve million bottles have been sold, and its sales record prob
ably has never been esualled in the history of the drug trade in AM
erica.
From coast to coast and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, Tanac
is known and honored. Millions have taken it and have pronounced
it the greatest medicine of all time. No matter where you 20 thru
out the United States. whether East, West, North or South, Tanlac is
a household word and is now unquestionably the most widely talked
Of medicine in the world today.

town, village and hamlet thruout the entire section.

1907 More Wages
For Pub. Service
Than 7 Years Ago

The contract covering wages and
working conditions recently entered
into by the Public Service Railway
Company and its employees, who are
members of the Amalgamated Union,
becomes effective as of August l. 1t
may be interesting to note that the
wages paid motormen and conductors
under the contract is just one hundred
per cent. higher than was paid for the
same work seven years ago. In 1917
trainmen We're paid from 23 to 30
cents per hour; now they get 46 to
80 cents per hour. There is this
further difference: In 1912 only ihe
men in service more than two years
received the maximum pay while now
new man reaches the maximum rate
in one year.

Vincent B. Kelly, president of the
Palisade Improvement Association
has addressed IA letter to the mayor
and council of Fort Lee as follows:
'In the name of the PaliSade I'M
provement Association, | hereby re-
quest the Mayor and Council of the
Borough of Fort Lee to make vigorous
protest against the order of Public
Utilities Commission creating the new
system of payment of fares on the
Public Service trolleys.
'The order discriminates against
residents and citizens of the Borough
of Fort Lee. 1t establishes zoning
system under which passengers will
pay three cents for each additional
mile. But an exception is made as to
that part of the system extending from
the Edgewater or Fort Lee ferry to the
Palisade Junction and Bluff road To
these two points Il tial rate of five
cents is established although the dis
tance is less than one mile.
"This seems to be and is an unfair
and wholly indefensibe discrimination
against the residents of PaliSade. I
do not know whether the flat rate will
apply to persons riding beyond the
Junction and Bluff road but if it does
it is equally an unfair discrimination
against every resident of the Borough
and every Bergen county patron of the
Public Service trolleys who rides be-
yond the points mentioned. If it only
applies to those who ride as far as
the Junction or Bluff road, the dis
elimination against residents of Pali-
SADIE becomes more glaring and out
rageous. 1t is simply il new example
of the abuse of power
'It requires no unusual insight to
realize that this fiat rate is made in
order that the Public Service Corpora
tion may collect nickel from those
who ride up the Palisades from the
ferry to the Palisades Amusement
Park. In order that this may be done
it is proposed to penalize the resi-
dents of Palisade by making them pay
two cents mile more than the pa
irons of the road at other points on
the line.
This is not only unfair and mex
cusable, but seems an unlawful dis
elimination. In the name of the out
ragged citizens of this Borough, | urge
the Mayor and Council of the Borough
of Fort Lee to take such steps as are

1t is for the loss of this crop, esti-

The previous suit was instituted
July 30, 1917, for loss of the ice crop

The plaintiff alleges that Crystal

stream known as Crystal stream,
which runs from Fort Lee into and
through the city of Englewood. Dur

drain, which empties into the brook

SENTIMENT FAVORS COMMUNITY
HOUSE THAT HAS Been STOPPED
THROUGH FEAR OF RESTRICTIONS
Symposium of Views of Prominent Citizens Who Think
Work Should Go Regardless of Cold Water
Douse-Chances Favor Movement Starting Up
Again
w. P. STEELE SAYS WILL GIVE $500

"What do you think of the setback
given the PaliSade Community
HOuse?" was a question put this week
to number of leading citizens. Their
answers are given below. They speak
for themselves. 1t is Il very eloquent
tale of community enterprise. But so
far as the restrictions in this case go,
they appear to be detriment rather
than benefit when made to cause Il
great local enterprise like the COM
munity house to go aStray and lose
itself in the face of the most promis-
ing and exciting campaign ever before
put forth in the village. Whether the
thing is dead, as was stated recently
in The Palisadian, remains to be seen.
That public sentiment was and is
largely in favor of the community
house goes with the mere statement of
the fact. A sort of universal faith is
laid on the altar of some plan to get
the town united on some big thing for
its development, and the community
house appears to be the most feasible
and the most promising suggestion in
the way of big results. That it would
attract home seekers is undoubtedly
true. Here are the little interviews:
w. Z. Steele of Abbott Boulevard
said:
'In considering the community
house, which 4 heartily. fayor,I never
thought the restrictions would come
into play. l never thought any one
would bring them up. l thought the
community house would be very de-
sirable for young and old alike. No
other thought ever came to me in look
ing at this very desirable enterprise.
l can't see where there is anything to
the restrictions to apply against a
community house. The movement
should go on by all means. If it is
necessary to build it on unrestricted
property, that should not stand in the
way. There is ample land here for
that. l think it should be done. My
feeling is that it is not necessary to
bring up restrictions now. We had
better all get together. | have not
stated what l would give, but would
start my contribution now with $500.

ERNEST SIBLEY GETS
100000 SCHOOL AT
HEMPSTEAD, |. |,
Fine Compliment to PaIisade Ar
chiteCt Selected Without
Competition.

Ernest Sibley has scored another
fine victory. Last week, Saturday, he
was notified that the board of educa-
ton of Hampstead, Long Island, had
appointed him architect for their new
S300,000 high school to be erected
there This is great piece of good
news for the Palisade architect Mr..
Sibley had been comforting with the
Hampstead board before the war be-
gan, but that little fracas stopped
school building everywhere. One of
the most gratifying facts in connec-
came to Mr.. Sibley without competi-
ton. Several weeks ago the board
passed resolution to have Il competi-
ton but last Friday night rescinded
their former action and appointed Mr..
Sibley direct.
Glenn and Ralph Hacker, associated
with Mr. Sibley, and who have been
visiting their parents in Montana, will
come on at once to assist in preparing
plans for the building
The 100000 available for the build
ing is exclusive of all fees, furniture
and equipment and the board has Sc
cured plot of four and One-half acres
as site for the structure. The site
is located in the heart of Hampstead
and Mr. Sibley will design the build
ing to correspond with the old colonial
architecture of that vicinity.
