Farmer VS.. Altman
Who Fell on Farm

The premier honors for generous
treatment of man in danger and
distress must be accorded a man of
the name of Smith, who sued and got
damages from an aviator who happen
ed to have his engine go wrong, and
so to save his life, descended by the
volplane method, and lit upon small
field of grain near Secaucus. The man
is a farmer, and at the time told the
aviator the damages would not be
over. $40, it is now stated. At any
rate, he concluded to sue for $500,
and was awarded $25. The accident
took place early last year, and a jury
has just made the award.
There are few people who would
take the farmers side in this matter,
but the law took it all right, and one
wonders why. A man who would not
allow an aviator to ''fall" on his farm
in case of an accident could not be
called much of a man. The aviator's
name is Diehl. The farmers name is
Smith.

Mothers Day.
At Palisade Ch'h

Mothers Day at the Union Church
of Palisade was duly observed last
Sunday with appropriate exercises
both morning and evening. In the
morning Rev. Guhse delivered a short
tribute to the meaning of mother,
motherhood and Mothers Day, and
never at his best has he done a lob
OF talking any better. He told of what
the world owed to mother, and dwelt
with peculiar and feeling emphasis
on the tender side of motherhood, with
reference to all of its force in govern
ing the actions and in the formation
of the character of mankind. He made
a forceabie reference to Sergeant
York, the big Tennessee American
soldier who made such worthy fame
in the recent war. Sergeant York did
not go into the war to do more than
his duty, but when fame accidentally
came his way, and he was offered as
high as $1,000 week by the moving
picture interests to pose before the
camera in heroic plays but remember
ing that he did not go into the war
to make, money, he declined all offers.
His act was influenced through recall
ing what his mother had taught him
about proper ideals.
In the evening Mrs. Sibley had a
very attractive program in hand. The
attendance was in keeping with the
theme of the day, and one of the
largest audiences of the season was
out. She gave short talk on the
origin of Mothers Day, then some
songs We're given by the congregation,
While a bit later Mrs Jones sang a
medley of old songs that used to make
mother happy. Several little tots had
some interesting things to say, includ-
ing Freddie Bull and Abigail Pennell
Mr.. Carson read effectively the poem
to Carnation. Taking the evening
as a. whole it was highly interesting
as well as appropriate, just as would
be expected from anything in the
hands of Mrs. Sibley. The church had
been tastefully decorated for the day,
the medium being white carnations,
with large vases of wonderful white
apple blossoms. Mr.. William Holm
ger kfaly loaned from his New York
studio a remarkable picture of 'Moth-
err" made by himself, one of the finest
studies ever conceived, and quite of a
similar quality with Whistler's re-
nowned portrait of his mother. The
Hollinger Mother was hung between
the great spread of young wild cherry
branches that adorned the rear wall.

Palisade Firernen
Have Even'g Drill

The Palisade firemen, members of
Protection No. of Fort Lee, had the
Bluff road apparatus out last Monday
evening, giving the hose a water pres
sure test along Bluff road The pres
sure was quite strong indeed, stream
through an inch pipe reaching some
thing like ninety feet. 1t would read
lily have gone over any house in the vii
lage, and it showed the best pressure
for some time past, the firemen said.
1t was lucky drill, too, for length
of hose burst at the corner Of Cumber-
mede and Bluff roads, making it neces-
sary to put in another to take its place
on the reel. A stitch In time.

REV. M0NTC0MERYS STARTLING
STATEMENT THAT CONSCIENCE OF
MANKIND HAS Been SNUFFED OUT

Rev. Marshall F. Montgomery is
fast building himself name as an
eloquent orator. On almost any oc-
casion where he appears there comes
always a story of something big he
has done in either speech or SER
mon. And the most of his ideas are
big. When he develops a subject his
analysis will compare with the best
thoughts of the day.
Last Sunday he delivered a sermon
at Trinity American, Episcopal church,
Grantwood, that has caused great
deal of comment. Speaking of Ameri-
can affairs he said it had almost come
to pass that the human soul no longer
existed, and that the conscience of
mankind had been snuffed out. "We
are Witnessing" said he, "a spiritual
crisis in which God has been eliminat-
ed from our life and evil is rampant.
The crisis, in the last analysis, is not
social or economic, but spiritual, and
is leading as to the precipice. In Rus
STA the Bolshevist is saying: IF I can
kill hen or rat, why not my fellow
man? Surely, why not, if there is no
God to answer to? And Karl Marx is
saying in the mouths of his modern
disciples: TT is necessary that we
eliminate every vestige of the super
stition called Cod eradicate the soul,
conscience, and the idea of immor-
tality.
Humanity needs the guiding hand
of real leader, one who has world
wide sympathy for his fellows, and
who they will in turn trust"
Some of Rev. Montgomery's friends
do not understand why his great abil-
tiles and his wonderful eloquence are
not exploited in New York where he.
could nave larger scope and greater
audiences. There is no doubt but that
many of his orations out here on the
New Jersey Palisades would wake up
the great city as few men of the
times would be able to do.

Trinity Girls Club
Give Spring Dance

A wonderful success was the dance
given under the auspices of the Girls
Club of Trinity Episcopal church of
Grantwood. on Friday evening in the
Guild Hall. The electric lights were
artistically covered with pale pink
petals, with blue butterfly on or
hanging from the petals. Apple bios
SONS were all around the room, and
in the center large vases with bios
SONS and many butterflies, with big
gorgeous one perched above. On the
platform were large Japanese vases
with the blossoms and at the back of
the hall was a large tree covered with
blossoms and butterflies, and a robin
who sat on a bough in realistic man
ner and almost sang on this joyous
occasion. And beneath all this beauty
was a green bench, so spring like in
all its beauty, reigned supreme in the
transformed hall, and the browning
touch was the moonlight effect when
the pink shaded lights gradually faded
into moonlight glow, the effect being
secured by Henry Cobhardt, operating
a DINNER"
The pretty girls all wore gowns en-
phasizing the pink and blue coloring
and the largest crowd mostly of young
people, ever attracted by the club
filled the hall about to its capacity.
The music was provided by the
Unison Four. a local orchestra of
Palisade and Cliffside Park young
men. The Girls Club and the leader,
Mrs. D. A. Carson, have reason to con-
graduate themselves on the affair.

BIG NEW HOTEL WILL
 BE BUILT AT MESA

Mesa soon is to have its dream real ized in the construction of a fine, big and splendidly equipped commercial hotel. More than this, it will be not only a commercial hotel, but also the center of all Mesa's club and social activities, for in it will be provided, besides not less than 100 guest rooms, baths, showers, etc, main and pri- vate dining rooms, gentlemen's club rooms with private dining room, bill Hard and card rooms, ladies' club rooms and private tea rooms, bowling alleys in the basement, ball room and roof garden, and, last but by no means the least of it's attractions to tourists as well as to local guests, fine open air swimming pool surrounded by vine covered pergolas, lawns and protect ing hedges.
 The cost of this hotel will not be less than s20O,OO0 with a strong prob ability that Mesa will not be satisfied to stop at a larger cost if necessary to produce the best hotel plant in Ari- Zona.
 For several years Mesa has been keenly alive to it's urgent need for a first-class and strictly up-to-date ho- tel. Its rapid growth has a long way outstepped it's ability to care for even the commercial business and no at tempt whatever has been made for the welfare of the tourists.

SUES TO REVERSE
 LAND OFFICE RULE

It never rains but it pours. Trouble is storing up large measure for the state land department. Not content with the investigation of alleged ir- regularities, number of persons with grievances are planning action through the courts against the land department.
 The first of these suits has been filed in Judge Lyman's division of the superior court of Maricopa county. C.. E. Shilling of Cochise county, is the plaintiff in the action, and w. A. Mouer, state land commissioner, is made party-defendant.
 The complaint states that Shilling files an application with the land de- paltment for the lease of certain lands in Cochise county. Later some of this land was leased to A. Redus. A de- cision handed down by the land de- partment was unfavorable to Shilling, and when he gave notice of an appeal to the superior court, Commissioner Moeur, charges the plaintiff, refused to recognize the right of appeal and declined to prepare transcript of the proceedings.
 Shilling asks that Moeur be com pelled to furnish such transcript that it may be delivered to the clerk of the superior court.
