As School Teachers
Have Tea On Huds'n

Forty-five members of the local fac
ulty enjoyed a fireside supper on Mon
day evening. They began to depart
from the local high school at 4 80. At
6 O'Clock all were present at Palisades
Interstate Park along the river front
two miles above the Dyckman street
ferry house. When settled, two large
camp fires We're lighted. The COM
mittee then began to cook and pre-
pare the supper which was heartily
enjoyed by all present. Hot dogs and
bacon, sandwiches, pickles, water and
honey dew melons, crackers and we
can't forget the steaming coffee made
the supper a grand success. Candy
was also served.
After the supper, speeches were
made by Mr.. Hall and Mr. Burns and
each one present said something. Col
lege and popular songs We're sung.
The committee, of which Miss Lucy
Madden was chairman, was composed
of the Misses Kingman, Watts and
Day.
The next day it was found that the
committee had some money left. They
are to be complimented for their eff
cief1t work
The talk of the faculty is: 'When
do we have the next AFFAIR.""

Senator Scores Big
At Hoboken Club

Il want every man and woman in
this audience to arise, stand on your
tip-toes and give three rousing cheers
to the next Governor of New Jersey,
the Honorable Senator William B.
Mackay, of Bergen County,
That's how Senator ''Billy" Mackay
was introduced last Wednesday even
ing by President Harry Lambert at a
joint meeting of the Hoboken Mems
and Women's Republican Clubs, held
in the Palace Garden, HOboken, and
fully 1000 did rise and did give three
rousing cheers, many waving small
American flags in their enthusiasm.
And the Senator stood on the plat
form happy smile wrinkling his fea-
lures, and when quiet was restored
he told his hearers how happy the
reception had made him.
'"This truly is the greatest honor
accorded me thus far in my campaign.
and l feel deeply appreciative of this
wonderful demonstration in my be-
half and the kind words spoken by
your president said Senator Mackay.
ANY candidate ought to feel proud
to have such a powerful organization
such as you have here behind him,
and your support is source of great
encouragement to me-" Senator Mackay
made one of the best speeches of his
career.-RecOrd.

Supper-Reception
ToSchool Faculty

One of the best and most original
things ever accomplished in Cliffside
Park was the reception given to the
teachers and Board of Education this
past week by the educational depart
ment of the WOmans Club, of which
Mrs. w. Heaton is the chairman.
The teachers and guests assembled
in the auditorium of the local High
School on Wednesday evening and
were entertained by the supervising
principal, Professor G. Hall, until the
supper was announced.
The gymnasium was the scene of the
banquet and presented most attrac-
tive appearance, with number of ta-
bles at each of which four hOstesses
presided over a bountiful supper, of
which committee Mrs. Yaeger was
chairman most efficiently.
Professor Hall was POSTMASTER, and
Mrs. John White, president of the Wo-
mans Club, made the speech of well
come, to which Mr.. Goemann respond
ed on behalf of the Board of Educa-
ton.
At a center table Mrs. McCulloch,
school director of music, was in
charge of the singers and music, and
at intervals every one sang familiar
songs in parts and choruses.
Professor Robert Burns spoke on
behalf of the men teachers on their
dreams amid the drudgery, and later
Mrs. J. G. Coulter gave a brief adj
dress for the women teachers on ideals
in dealing with the children.
Poems on Brotherhood" were read
by Mrs. w. J. Mcdonald, followed by
a speech on pride of Product" by S.
N. Sears as representative of the citi-
zens, and Mrs. Heaton, the chairman,
gave charming address on "The In,
visible Guests"-the children-on the
need of emphasizing the beautiful
things of life.
Only in one other place in America,
it is said-Seattle-has such an affair
been given.

successful contractor and builder, has

CAD|EN APPEALS IN STRONG SPEECH,
SAYS CL|FFS|DE TAX RATE IS HIGH,
BUT ASSESSMENTS FAR TOO Low

The Mayor John c. Cadien campaign
committee has gotten down to real
work. At recent meeting held for
the purpose of making definite plans
for a strenuous campaign to retain the
present chief executive in office. A
representative group from the va
rious sections of the borough were
present and listened with interest to a
chronogOlical survey of the work of
the present administration and to the
positive foundation on which Mayor
Cadien rests his claims for support.
As the standard bearer of the organi-
cation Mayor Cadien spoke of his adj
ministration and declared that ire
spective of the outcome of the election
he would ever be proud to have been
mayor of a borough he himself grew
up with, and which he helped to de-
velop from a veritable wilderness to
a borough second to none in natural
advantages, internal improvements
and civic pride.
One of the most important points
the mayor stressed was the persistent
DuSdDOO UI lHe nigh tdA Tdtc. ILLS,
said the mayor, 'is a deliberate at
tempt to becloud the ISSUE True the
tax rate is high but did you ever stop
to consider the extremely low valua-
ton throughout the borough? Look at
your tax bill and note the valuation
of your property and then ask your
self would you sell your house for the
amount at which the property is as
sessed? Suppose your valuations we're
increased only half as much again it
would still be below the true value and
with this increase in valuation there
would be a corresponding reduction in
the rate 1t is unfair to talk of high
rates with such low valuation for it
is not the rate alone but the assessed
valuation multiplied by the rate which
given you the amount of your BILL.
Touching on the advantages obtained
in return for the taxes the mayor men,
toned the improved roads, the efficient
fire department, the capable police
force, the borough schools, the health
department, the coming law and the
general prOgressiveism of Cliffside
Park as a place ON which to live and
to encourage others to come to enjoy
with us the advantages of a develop
ing municipality.

3 Derns. for Council
In Cliffside Race
(Contributed.)

On next Tuesday the State primary
election will be held and the people
will choose candidates for the various
party nominations.
In Cliffside Park, on the Democratic
ticket, there are three candidates for
two councilmanic positions and it is
serious duty incumbent on every
Democrat in the borough to attend
the polls and vote so that he two men
S'fsesn rs Democratic candidates shall
be the choice of the majority of Dem
ocratic and not be those who are able
to muster a handful of votes and DOS
slbly eliminate real representative
man.
The three men seeking the Demo-
cratic nomination for councilman are
Councilman John Mcguire, Fred
Naidler and Louis Reuter-.
OF the three, Councilman Mcguire is
entitled to be renOminated for he is
standing on present record and it
would be grossly unfair to prevent
him from taking his chances at the
general election where his record will
be- an issue and where it can be en-
dorsed or rejected.
Anyone who has attended the coun-
Gil meetings must have been impressed
with the level headed reasoning and
good judgment of Councilman Ma
guire, especially in the midst of knotty
municipal business. Time and time
again when the discussion of impor-
tant business waXed warm it was
Councilman Mcguire who stepped into
the breach with a clear, quiet argu-
ment for or against the proposition.
1t makes no difference who espoused
the proposition, if Mcguire believed,
after discussion, that the proposition
was good he stated so, always in gen.
tlemanly terms and if he opposed the
proposition he was just as positive in
adding the final word to settle SEEM
ingly hopeless situation. This good
judgment and tact coupled with the
courage of his convictions entitle
Councilman Mcguire to the nominal
ton on the Democratic ticket to be
voted next Tuesday, September 81.

We Don't Burn Gas;
We Burn a Mixture

One of the features of the gas hear
ing before the Public Utility Commits.
sioners last week was the testimony OF
witnesses to the effect that people do
not burn gas-they burn "a mixture y
This may sound strange to the house
holder, but the explanation is that the
gas is fed to the burners of appliances
in such way as to admit of it's be-

These facts were brought out by
William Berry, a gas expert from the
Federal Bureau of Standards at Wash,

Utility Board, and by Arthur Hewitt
who has had thirty-five years expert
ence as a gas man in Toronto, Canada
"Given two similar gas stoves, one
receiving 525 b. t. u. gas, the other
600 b. t. u. gas, and each properly
adjusted for its particular grade of
gas, would there be difference be-
tween them in the time required to

a question put up to Mr.. Hewitt
"There would be no difference what.

day, indicates the degree to which it is being more and more appreciated.
 Men and women should realize that many of the most famous people in the world have gained their education all most entirely from reading the sort of books contained in our library.
 Thomas Edison, whose questions have been so much talked about, did not attend college. He learned prac- tically all he knows from his reading and from his experiments. He is one of the best informed men. on general subjects, in the country. He is but one example, of which there are many.
 No man and no woman may complain that he or she has been denied all chance of education when they have ac- cess to library such as the one in this city.
 One instance suffices to show how many people fight shy'' of taking ad vantage of the library.
 It was suggested to a worker that he would enjoy and profit by the books from the library.
 'I haven't time to read there," he said. And you can't take a book away without having someone sign a card for you.''
 When told that almost anyone who knew him at all. and who was known here. would be only too glad to sign such a card, he would scarcely believe it. He did not realize that his ex- pressed desire to use library books stamped him at once as a man who wished to improve himself. and that practically anyone of good standing in this city would be only too happy to en- courage him in his efforts. Of course this requirement is absolutely nec- essary.
 No mention of our library would be complete without giving oneself the pleasure of commenting upon the courteous help and service given those who frequent it by those in charge. The selecting of books and the attend ant business of taking out or return ing books is made most easy through the thoughtfulness and tact of those who have these matters in charge.
 Despite the great increase in the use now being made of the library, there is chance for a greater appreciation of it. Those who make the most of its ad- vantages will receive great dividends.

PAINTING THE LIIY.

It seems to be the desire of politi- cal leaders to have the United States technically at peace with Germany by the Fourth of July-Independence day.
 Whether ono favors the Knox Reso- luton or the Porter measure. or neither or both. what a travesty it is 10 mention the Declaration of I---' pendence in connection with either of them!
 There was nothing technical" about the adoption of the Declaration of Independence July {. 1776. It was the sturdy lily which no sentimental .ty must taint.
 If political quibbling and perhaps honest misunderstandings had not prevented the declaration of another sort of indendence on this coming fourth of July. if wrangling over words and petty things had not pre- vented all nations from joining on tl.is day in the one great desired dec iaration, then indeed it would be most seemly to try to make this day of great significance to others than our selves.
 There comes a feeling of dropping from the sublime to the ridiculous in talking about our Independence day in the same breath with mention of technical peace with Germany. There would be no such sentiment were the aim to be a declaration of peace and union in the whole world.
