Real Still Found
Going in Garfield

Jacob Vandermust, of the Garfield
city police, made bigger find than
he expected Wednesday afternoon
when he heard a disturbance on his
beat.
Vandermust was walking along
River road when his attention was
called TO an unusual noise in the
home of John Shenda. Going into the
place he took look around the house
and was surprised to ind a small sized
still in one of the rooms and also two
bottles of what he decided was hootch.
Shenda was placed under arrest,
whereupon he furnished bail bond
of $500 to await the action of the court.
The outfit was composed of a copper
kettle used for boiling and another
kettle containing the set of coils. The
cans are now in possession of the
prosecutors office and will be used as
evidence if ecessary.-Record

Cabaret Dance
Proves Success

The Cabaret Dance given by the
Alumni Association of the Cliffside
High School in the gymnasium of the
school on last Saturday evening proved
a great success.
The spacious gym was bedecked as
a rose arbor and the cabaret tables,
with their linens encircling the room
of gymnastics, added to the natty APP
pearance.
Music was played by the Crescent
Jazz Band and they with their synco-
pated tones made hit.
Both home and professional talent
entertained. Of these William Sexten,
ventriloquist, Nina Klor, formerly of
the Winter Garden and Fred Rollins
of minstrel fame, were of the former.
The professional talent was supplied
through the courtesy of Nicholas
Schenck. These were all first class
acts, direct from the Loew circuit.
1t was the first dance given by the
Alumni this season and already there
is talk of another in the near future.

Big Bazaar at Pal.
Church Dec. 10

Nobody in Palisade or vicinity wants
to forget the Young Peoples Society
Bazaar at the local church on the aft
ernoon and evening of December 10
next Saturday. Those in charge say
it will be the most attractive affair
of the kind ever undertaken here, and
there have been some big successes.
The booths will be artistic and in
charge of groups of boys and girls,
whose enthusiasm alone will be worth
effort of going to see them. Tea will
be served by pretty Japanese maids,
together with cakes and coffee with
ice cream and other delicacies. And
the booths will contain many useful
articles, each well worth anyone's own
ership, and all at moderate prices.
The young people want to give every
one their moneys worth. The receipts
will go to the gym building fund.
Come, everybody, and help noble
cause.

COUNTY COUNSEL MAB|E WRITES
newark PAPER THE FULL GRASP OF
Sen. MACKAY'S WIDE APPEAL

While Commissioner Thomas L. Ray
mond of Newark remains silent as to
his ultimate stand regarding making
the run for governor at the Republican
primaries, his friends are not idle and
a Newark paper, the Roosevelt Citizen,
has sent out ''feeler" to see how the
Raymond candidacy is received.
This led County Counsel Clarence
Mabie to write to The Citizen as fol-
lows:
II am one of the residents of Bergen
county who has been the recipient of
your appeal in behalf of the candidacy
of City Commissioner Thomas l.. Ray
mond of Newark for the Republican
nomination for governor next year.
Il have noted, with deep interest,
the argument set forth in behalf Of
your favorlte for gubernatorial honors.
Like other Jerseymen who have fol-
lowed the career of the city commits
sioner, l have found much to admire
in the record of this municipal official.
"Your appeals, however, have GER
tainly not weaned me away from Sena-
tor William B. Mackay, Jr., of Bergen,
whose special qualifications for COVER
nor have impressed very large army
of Republicans, not only from Bergen
county, but also outside of his home
county.
''As a member of the state senate
since January, 1917, Senator Mackay
through five years of faithful service
during the most trying times in the
worlds history has, in a very emphatic
way, demonstrated his capacity for
handling legislative problems and
statewide enterprises. His close iden-
tification with all the important legis-
lation for the past five years has
enabled him to grasp completely the
great problems thar now face the sfate
and that are likely to confront tbpH
next governor of New jersey.
while Mr.. Raymond has distin-
guished himself as member of an
important city government Mr.. Mac
kay has proved his fitness in the much
larger field of state affairs at Trenton.
MY reason for writing you is the
assertion, in your Raymond article,
that the friends of Senator Mackay
and Runyon will admit that Raymond
is the only sure winner on the Repub-
lican side in the gubernatorial cam
paign. Mr.. Mackay's friends were
never more confident than they are
today of his triumph at the Republi-
can primary next September and of
the election as governor in November,
1922"

CL|FFSIDE RECOUNT is FINISHED;
SHOWS CAD|EN STILL LEADING BY IS:
JUSTICE PARKER TO REVIEW CASE

The County Board of Elections has
completed the recount of the ballots
for mayor cast in the borough of Cliff
side Park on last election day and
after three days work has determined
that Mr.. Cadien was elected by a plu-
rality of Is over Mr.. Smith, thus con-
firming with variation of only one
vote the count of the local election
boards, which reported Mr.. Cadien
elected by a plurality of 10 over Mr..
Smith,
The local election boards reported
734 votes for Smith, 753 for Cadien,
636 for Kenny. The county board re-
ports 723 for Smith, al for Cadien
and 619 for Kenny. The lower figures
made by the county board result from
the fact that during the recount the
county board discarded and refused to
count some of the ballots because of
peculiarities in marking made by the
voters, but it seems quite clear that
these peculiarities were quite acciden-
tai, as they affected the vote of the
candidates almost equally, Mr.. Smith
having lost IL votes, Mr.. Cadien IL
and Mr.. Kenny II.
AT the conclusion of the recount it
was stated that Justice Parker would
be asked to review the ruling of the
county board on practically all of the
ballots which were disputed by one or
the other of the candidates during the
recount-RecOrd.

Joe" the Italian deckhand of the
Public Service ferryboats from Edge
water to New York at One Hundred
and Twenty-fifth street, is one of the
best known characters of northern
New Jersey and eastern Bergen coun-
ty He has been so long with the fer

to believe that his term of service has
been fOrty-two years Yet "Joe'' will
tell you that he began his work on
this ferry line when he was a mere
stripping of sixteen in 1879 "Joe' is
now fifty-eight and going strong. He
is decidedly younger than he was ten
years ago and has more pep than most
men ten years older. He has had the
bootblack privilege on the ferry line

Grantwood Joins
Palisade in Service

The Christian EndeavOr Society of
the Grantwood Congregational Church
came to Palisade last Sunday evening
In a union service with the Young
Peoples Society of the Union Church
Of Pahsade. Junior Sears, bright, aler.
and earnest boy that he is, was leader
and the subject was immigration. He
gave a forceful little talk of his own
on the subject, then asked for talks
from those present. Rev. Gotso of
the Italian Mission cared for by the
Congregational Church made an in
teresting talk, in which he urged a
more considerable treatment of the for
eigner coming to dwell amongst us.
They needed all the encouragement
we could give them, he said, because
they do not understand our institu-
lions. We need to AmericaniZe them
while we try to ChristianiZe them.
His remarks We're listened to with
intense interest. Mr.. Logan also spoke
to the subject saying that he agreed
with Rev. Gotso, but that when the
foreign element assimilated with the
population we now have here, they
would all make acceptable citizens
The basis of our immigration laws was
that we try to keep out the unde-
SirableS, but the rest would take care
of themselves in time and make good
citizens. He cited the fact that many
of our greatest men had formerly been
foreigners. The Civil War had many
foreign generals in the American
armies. They could not become Presi.
dents but could rise to almost any
Iolher heights asaa hid already done
so in scores of instances.
The young ladies of the Palisade So
ciety set a little spread for the Wis.
itors in the basement after the serv.
ice which was enjoyed.

Wonan's Club
Has Lecture

Most delightfully."- entertained were
the members of the literature depart
ment of the Woman's Club of Cliffside
Park on Tuesday evening at the home
of Professor and Mrs. Robert Burns
when DR.. Robinson, the guest of the
evening, gave them a talk on the
Cambridge poets.
There was a fine attendance of the
women and their husbands. The pro-
gram was opened with violin and harp
selections by the Misses Dorothy and
Vivien Donaldson, which were greatly
appreciated by the audience present
and received enthusiastic applause.
Then Mrs. Donaldson, chairman of the
department, introduced the speaker,
who had come there on the invitation
of Mrs. N. c. Cause, of whom he Is an
old and valued friend.
DR.. Robinson had known the writer's
Emerson, Lowell, Longfellow and
Holmes in his early college days and
gave an intimate glimpse of them and
their sayings, and he also read selec-
lions from their writings in delight
zionist.
He drew vivid picture of those re-
markable days in old Boston when one
met Longfellow at one corner and
then Oliver Wendell Holmes, Wendell
Philips, Philips Brooks or Edward
Everett Hale at other places, when
the town was full of an atmosphere
literary, spiritual and moral, and he
contrasted these writer's who made
this atmosphere with those of the
present day writer's who cater to the
baser passions.
He compared Longfellow's Dante
Club with the Round Table of King
Arthur and spoke, too, of the mag
nificent optimism of those earlier
writers who would never have asked,
is life worth living?" but taught that
'life is real, life is earnest" He spoke
Of hearing Emerson in his own read
ling of his wonderful essays at the
| Howell at a political convention, "the
last place he expected to see him, .
and dwelt on his help to him as a
! young and ihquiring student about the
spiritual realities of life.
1t is not often that such an oppOr-
tunity is given to hear one who has
known so many great men personally
and who also can give their poems in
such fine manner, and the whole eve
ming was rare literary treat. A So
cial hour was enjoyed, with light re-
freshments served by the committee
Mrs. Quinn and Miss Edith Form
ger-very efficiently, and the evening
will be remembered as one of the
charming events in the season.

Millionaires Play
Tie Game in Rain

The Millionaires' Club and Trenicore
Club played scoreless tie game of
football on the flooded athletic field of
the local high school on Sunday af-
ternoon. The game was played after
great deal of delay, as was evidenced
by the attitude of the members of the
Trenicore Club, who seemed to have
inclinations not to play.
At eleven-thirty in the morning the
captains of the teams met and de-
cided to start the game at the sched-
uled time of twO-thirty. One half
hour after game time the Trenicores
wanted to cancel the game At four
o'clock after considerable parleying
Captain Tom Kelley of the Trenicores
said he would get his team on the
field providing the Millionaires would
play them for one hundred dollar
side wager. This was accepted. At
fOur-thirty the team arrived but with
out the one hundred.
Darkness was lowering when the
first kickoff was made by wink
Kelley
The Millionaires lost the ball when
Yoolnough intercepted forward pass
The Trenicores drove them to within
a yard of the goal where they were
stopped. Fox punted from behind the
goal line The field was a quagmire
and the players a sight when the half
ended.
The second half was played in
darkness and Fox fumbled when run
ming back the kickoff. The Trent
cores fumbled on the second play.
Then the Millionaires led by the ag-
gressive Archie Scullion began plow-
ing up the field. Brilliant off tackle
plunges by Scullion were unnoticeable
because of darkness. The game ended
while the Millionaires had but one
yard to go for touchdown.
The game lasted twenty-six min
utes and the players were covered
with mud.

Luzons Philippines, Nov. Is, 1921.
sDear p essgs J, yg-s. y.
I am sure that you will be glad to
hear that l have found the Philippines
as delightful a place as any other
land under the Stars and Stripes
The Philippines contain about seven
thousand more square miles than the
British Isles but they have about one
fifth of the population. Most of the
Inhabitants live in small villages or
plantations and one can travel some
ntimes for days and even weeks with
out meeting native. l have passed
through extremely fertile and beautiful
parts. Possibly no country in the world
excels the Philippines in unique and
lasting beauties. Were their beauties
better known they would become very
popular for sightseers and tourists.
1t is a pity to see the loads of fruit
and vegetables that go to waste here
In the lowlands acres of wild bananas
are abundant, their fruit left to decay
I wonder if the children of Palisade
wouldn't enjoy having as many of
these as they cared to pick In the
uplands thousands of acres of wild
hemp are never STRIPPED and on the
mountain tops the Igorrotes, as they
are called, grow as fine, long staple
cotton as any in the world. Wild pea
nuts, wild sweet potatoes, wild oranges
of many kinds and some of delicious
flavor; wild lines and wild rubber
are also neglected. Valuable hard
woods that pass their usefuless with
out being numbered are almost every
where
If were to tell you all the wonder
full resources of the Philippines and of
their marvellous natural beauties, you
could hardly think it possible. If ever
you have the opportunity to visit the
islands it will prove to be one of the
most pleasant experiences you have
ever had. / hope all are well at home
and that I will hear from you soon.
