Editor Hindley on the
Roosevelt Trail

Howard l.. Hindley, editor of the
Rutland Herald, accompanied Gov. P.
w. Clement on his recent tour of The
state with the Board of Control and
has been writing some interesting ex-
perlences of his trip to his paper.
Here are few of his pertinent para
graphs:
The scenery over Cabot mountain
is well worth an auto trip from Mont
pelier to st. Johnsbury. There IS
some fine farming country on the up
lands, and Joe's and Molly's ponds,
named from their Indian owners,
provide some good fishing, both in he
ponds and tributary streams. There
is quite summer colony up there a.
ready and any one looking for quiet
vacation, about $500 feet above s a
level, ought to look this country over.
Granville Green" a typical, pros
porous Vermont community, is one of
the most attractive of its kind any
where in the state. A tourist could
get good accommodation in either of
its inns and a camp site on either of
the ponds would not be a difficult ac-
QUESTION.
Furthermore, the roads, as result
of some careful attention, have come
out of the spring trial in excellent
condition. Good road metal and good
roadmaking have leveled off the diff
culties of the mountain route consid
erably.
Incidentally, if you are due for
blowout of tires-fit example of the
depravity of inanimate thngs-pick
out the flats just over the Cabot line.
Wet had two and made camp" twice
while the indefatigable Shower"
changed over theair cushions. The
sunset looks fine between spells of
iacEing up, blocking the foot of the
jack, digging it out of the soft surface
at the side of the road and at last
running the wheel up on a half log
20 get a better purchase.
If you're not too long about it, the
st. Johnsbury hotel people will "save
supper" for you and it will be worth
waiting for. Ours was.

Moon in Eclipse
Seen by Thousands
Was Redeem War

The total eclipse of the moon last
Sunday night which wasn't a we'll ad-
vertised event at all, developed into
one of the most sensational heavenly
spectacles that any one ever beheld.
They made Il great todO over eclipses
of the sun, but none of them ever had
anything on this particular luna effort.
Indeed, staged as it was so unexpected
ly, its real magnificance was so deuced-
ly excessive as to be almost alarm
ing. Not one person in hundred knew
of the coming eclipse for the reason
luna observations seriously, all of
their discoveries and theories having
long since been verified, so they rest
ed on their oars while the old moon
got red in the face, and at the start
had people who did not know about it
not little skeptical as to what the
thing meant. Out here in the woods
of the Palisades where sweet inno-
cence forever holds sway, the people
thought there might be some signifi-
canoe in the way the moon looked
at the first start off of the great per-
formance, but after awhile the story
leaked out that an eclipse was on,
and then all these country pumpkin
neighbors began telephOning around,
Have you seen the wonderful
eclipse?' Well, some of them had and
others hadn't, and pretty soon there
were great numbers out looking their
heads off up towards the southeast
where they saw what they may never
see again. for thefptmosphere was Won
derful, and the moon looked reddern
war, while close by her side that old
war horse of the skies, Mars was also
as red as tomato, but Sparkled his
best glitters, and added lot of inter-
est to the whole romance of the
heavens. Anybody, those who saw
this one, will never see one just like
it, for they are all different, only
some are lllQrf Ss-sss We vs.

wood was released from the Caldwell
penitentiary Wednesday after serving
six months sentence for illicitly dis
tilling whisky he went to the ruins of
his home, which burned to the ground
three months ago while he was in pris-
on, searched through the debris until
he came to his safe, opened it with the
combination and nonchalantly took out
$10,500.
The money was in 81 crisp $500
bills; also his insurance policies ana
other valuable papers were safe.
Coopersmith was arrested on a
charge of violating the prohibition law,
tried by a federal jury, found guilty
and fined $500 and sentenced to six
months in prison.

PALISADES AMUSEMENT PARK.

With Palisades Amusement Park
open for the season and every attrac-
ton on the grounds in full swing,
summer amuSementS have come in for
share of patronage even if the Zip"
of the winter wind is in evidence.
The attendance has been far beyond
the expectation of the management.
That the people are keen for out of
doors sport is proven by the fact
of the great crowds of people who
fiocked to the resort on opening day
and have continued to crowd the con-
cessions and rides throughout the
week.
AS a special tribute to the Atlantic
fleet which is lying at anchor directly
opposite the park, a gorgeous display
of fireworks will be given on Tuesday
and Thursday nights. This feature
will continue during the summer,
twice week. The free vaudeville
air stage twice daily, with three ex-
hibitions on Sundays.
Dancing on the spacious floor of the
ball room, is more popular than ever.
Nicholas NJ. Schenck, manager of the
resort, engaged Prof. Fred Fisher and
his entire Hotel Astor orchestra for
the season. This organization, with
out a doubt, comprises the most skill
ed Jazz musicians in the country. Mat
inee and evening dances are given
every day.

River Road Now
!, & County Owned

An article in the Hackensack Rec
ord of Thursday, states in its head
lines, but not in the story itself, that
the Board of Freeholders of Bergen
county has taken over River Road in
Edgewater, making it county road,
of course This greatly relieves the
Edgewater situation so far as the only
outlet from that place is concerned,
north. The roadway for long time
has needed repairs, and its construc-
ton having been of an old type has
not worn as well as it might have
done with more modern material and
formula. However, the wait-thOugh
long, will soon be over and before a
great while the county will have it re-
built.

to mind a crowded hall and mask.

AS for the grown ups, they came there
on the pretense of "looking on" but
they became violent participants be-
fore the evening was over. There
were children from the four sections
OF the borough, little tots still in the
t0ddling age to their more serious
brothers of fifteen. Orientals danced
amicably with cow boys; Jewish ven
ders chatted busily with Turkish
ladies': fair debutantes and Spanish
senoritas with black mantillas strutted
around with dignified miens, while
fairies and animated butterflies did
the jazz. OF course, jazz This is the
age of the sophisticated child The
children danced all evening, and The
Farmer in the Dell, and Bull in the
Ring, games, didn't have a leg to
stand on. Those nice old games are
spluttering and have given place to
the tickle toe.
The grand march was really quite
Il stylish affair, and the children all
seemed duly impressed, as they knew
that they We're about to be Judged.

Riders Lose Cash
On Little Track
In Arnusenn't Park

AT the Palisade Amusement Park
there is little riding track where
those who desire to try their hand .t
horseback riding can have the pleasure
for 10 or 10 cents. The circle is about
three or four hundred feet around, and
the fun for the uninitiated is regarded
as immense. In speaking of the fun
he was having there last Sunday lit
tie Palisade boy said:
Gee, but | had me bad luck with me
that time. / lost 80 cents out of my
pocket riding that mustang. 1t just
dropped out"
Some one who heard the remark
stated that a great many things are
lost riding those horses. They pick up
lots of stray coin on the track, also
knives and other things that are iostled
out of the pockets of boys, men and
girls.

Archdeacon Greets
Rev. Montgomery

On Thursday evening. Il double oc-
casion was celebrated at the Parish
House, by the parishioners of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, on the
sixth anniversary of the Parish House,
and the other. Il welcome to the Rev.
Marshall Montgomery, who has only
recently taken charge of the parish.
Covers were laid for about one hun
dred and fifty people, and delicious
dinner was served. 1t was somewhat
of surprise to both Reverend and
Mrs. Montgomery, as they supposed
they were simply to be ordinary
guests at Il birthday party, and when
Archdeacon McCleary, Il former pas
tor for twelve years, rose and well
coined Reverend and Mrs. Montgom-
cry, both We're exceedingly surprised
The ArchdeacOn gave reminiscent
talk and told how the American
Church Club came to be organized and
how proud he was to see the splendid
work they are still carrying on, and
told Mr.. Montgomery what steady
and firm body of people he had for
his support. He then presented Mrs.
Montgomery with very handsome
bouquet from the ladies' of the Parish,
and to Mr.. Montgomery he gave
huge birthday cake, with six tiny
American flags planted on top.
Mr.. Montgomery, in thanking the
people, said that he was completely
taken off his guard, that he never
could talk without his notes. Never
theless, his response kept everyOnes
mouth wrinkled and he seemed to
have no difficulty at all, in giving ex-
preston to his thoughts.
The secretary of the club, then read
a letter from the former pastor, Rev.
Francis Kirwan, expressing his re-
grets that neither he nor Mrs. Kir-
wan could be present.
Altogether it was a very delightful
gathering and demonstrated publicly
the distinct approval which the people
of the Good Shepherd Church have for
Mr.. Montgomery.
