DOStOI, IiilS 10 HOllOW.
Nor is it fair to leave the subject
without mentioning the dumbbell who
was one of those "dollor a year" birds
This Cuckoo was appointed to buy
supplies for the army. He bought 104
thousand horses. Then he bought 945
thousand saddles for the horses. That
made nine and half saddles for each
horse! Can you figure it?
Then there was another Cuckoo
who was making dollar a year for
himself land was worth $5,0OO.less)
and who made "a tremendous debt
for boobs like you and me to pay, who
bought two branding irons for each of
those horses. They were copper and
cost like rip!
And another dumbbell ordered that
the horses should be branded on the
hoofs. He didn't know enough about
horses to know that the marks would
grow out in few weeks. Yet he was
ian expert!
And yet they had lots of companyl
Another Squirt" ordered four curry
combs for each of those same horses
Did you ever hear of Thompson's
colt who swan across the river to get
drink of water?
Thompson's colt was a "sweet Will
liam in comparison to those birds!
Laugh if you want to! But you are
paying the price in high costs and
war taxes

Our idea of dumbbell is the poor
dub appointed by some one in this adj
ministration during the war as an in
spector of war orders at the Lambert
vile Rubber Mill. The first thing he
did upon his arrival was to ask to see
the molds they made rubber shoes in.
But the prize dumbbell is the bird
appointed by the same process of eff
ficiency to a place on the Shipping
Board who said to DR.. Eaton when he
went to the launching of the first ship

Record in Hackensack yesterday aft
ernoon for the purpose of taking pre-

TAX COLLECTOR BENDER RESIGNS,
BUT CHANGES MIND AND WILL RUN
AGAIN, M'CL0|N AND SCHLOSSER up

Every little while the borough of
fort Lee gets into the throes of a
political drama, and one Is being
staged at this time that is quite in
teresting. Several weeks ago Tax Col
lector Charles l.. Bender suddenly sent
In his resignation, to take effect at
once. But the council could not take
was laid on the table. Much specula-
ton has been had over the matter
since, and some interested men seeking
to get start in the race have express
ed desire to step into the shoes of
Mr.. Bender. Among these are John
McGloin, ex-councilman, and more lat
terly chief tender of the west Fort Lee
punk sewer pump. He was one of the
chief counsellors of the recent mayor,
and has held office of various kinds for
many years. He thinks he would
qualify as Mr.. Bender's successor.
Another candidate is out, young
George Schl0sser now councilman. Mr..
Schlosser is said to have had fine
business education. He was in the
war, and enlisted among the first, get
ting to France and making good
record. He organized the Fort Lee
Legion of Honor, and has been IN
earnest, quiet worker in council
The funny part of the business, how
ever, is that Mr.. Bender has now con-
cluded, it is said, that he will not re-
tire, and is back in the race for the
old job again at the primaries. Mr..
Bender has made himself one of the
well-to-do residents of the borough,
and owns fine home on Main street,
Fort Lee and it Is said he has one of
the finest limousines in the county
His long hold on the Office has given
him many opportunities for good In
yestments, and il is said that he has
made a great deal of money since me
has been in office. When Palisade was
born, nearly sixteen years ago, Bender
was tax collector, at salary of $500 IL
year. 1t is said to pay $1,000 now, or
ten times as much. For the time re-
quired to do the work, this would be
regarded as abn0rmally high, and
would be at half the price. Bender
is quite popular with both party lead
ers, and has been most accommodate

fine results It certainly is the right
medicine for old folks
AT the time l began taking Tan
lac," said J. F. Johnson, Il couldn't
eat or sleep to do much good and just
felt miserable all the time. I suffered
from indigestion, dizziness, pains in
my back, and about all my strength
had left me. I had just about come
to the conclusion that I would never
be well again, but am now in better
physical shape than I have been for
long time. In fact, don't think l ev-
er felt much better, even when I was
a young man, than I do since taking
Tanlac."
C. H. Ostrander says: II believe I
had about all the miserable feelings
anybody with indisetion can have, and
l was so weak and nervous l could
hardly drag around 1 had been bat
Ting with this condition for three
years and was ready to give up the
fight. But by the help of Tanlac am
now feeling fine.
I'd like to tell all the soldiers every
where how Tanlac is helping us here
in Leavenworth."
Tanlac is sold in Willmar by Carl
son Bros, in Raymond by Albert
Keinhuizen, and in Atwater by A. L.
Larson, and by J. P. Olson at New
