Defeats Crescents

The Fort Lee Athletic Club shut
out the Crescent A. c. of Edgewater
on the Star Field last Sunday, final

was well played game and one of
the most interesting of the season.

ace, is responsible for the victories, in
Guiding no-hit game against the

was run down between third and home.
A. Roman. batting next, hit into dou-
BILE play, 2. Dryer to Dracy, thus losing

Education Muss
Talked All Over

Quite number of interested citizens
We're present at the Cliffside High
School on Wednesday evening to learn
something about the present school
boards financial muddle But when all
was said and done, really those pres
ent knew nothing more than they
formerly did.
One thing the meeting did get was
advice from Attorney MacCauley, who
said the people of the borough should
follow the work of the school board
more closely, that the clerk should
receive more pay, hence he would pay
more attention to his duties.
Upon questioning, Mr.. MacCauley
asserted that the proper thing for the
people to do was to find out whether
the borough owed the board money
or the board had gone over its limit
and when that was ascertained the
people should vote to give the funds
to pay its deficit and start things over
with good, clean slate.
Another matter brought out was
that several statements made by Mr..
MacCauley were the same as those
recommended and explanations made
by Mr. Heaton in his audit.
AT one time the meeting became hot
and Mr.. Spence, after a short cross
examination % of the attorney,
moved that the meeting be adjourned,
seconded by Mr.. Pearson, but the
shoutings to adjourn subsidized when
Mr.. Korsinek stated that anyone who
cared to leave was free to do so.
Several of those present were on
their feet during the evening, either
asking questions, smoothing matters
over, explaining situations, or MAX
ing speech.
Mr.. Heaton, who was present, made
several statements which cleared up
some things.

Volunt'r Firenen at
Hohokus Sept. S

This afternoon and night and Mon
day afternoon and night the New Jer-
sey and New York Volunteer Fire
mems Association will show an elab-
crate day and night fair at the HO-
hokus Race Track
Now comes the announcement that
Chairman Brickell's hard working com
mittee has secured a fine collection of
old fire-fghting relics Foremost in
this collection is the fire helmet worn
by Washington when he was vOlun-
teer fireman in 1916. At that time in
each company's headquarters the fire
hats were placed in positions in their
quarters. When an alarm would ring
they would snatch the hat nearest
them and continue to duty. This hat
was one of the many in Washington's
Fire Company. 1t was later presented
to him by the company when he be-
came President.
A hand pump from the oldest vol
unteer fire company in the county
the Bergen Hose Company, organized
in 1872, originally used by the Carl.
stadt Engine Company and at pres
ent the property of the Exempt Fire
mems Organization of Carlstadt, will
also grace the collection. Many other
interesting curios will be shown, and
the occasion promises to be of much
interest.
AT the last meeting, held Friday al
Norwood, over five hundred members
of the organization were present. II
was reported that over one thousand
season tickets We're sold. Two new
fllS collpaaies froin Fort Lee and one
from Teaneck were admitted ant
made members of the organization.

Last Nickel Fare
Goes Up Flurne

Trenton, Sept. 1.-The last five
cent trolley fare in the State was
abolished yesterday in decision by
the Utility Commission granting the
Phillipsburg Transit Company per-
mission to increase it's fare from five
to seven cents.
The EaStOn company, which owns
practically all the stock in the Phil
lipsburg company, charges seven
cent fare just across the Delaware
River from Easton, on each of it's
zones in Pennsylvania and seven
cent fare is charged for interstate
traffic between EastOn and Phillips
burg.
The Phillipsburg company claims
that il 1918 it had an operating de-
ficit of $19,572, which increased to
more than $4,000 last year.

Auto Inspector
Breaks Road Rules

Mayor r. w. Purdy, suitcase and
all, arrived in BogOta borough shortly
after Z O'Clock Tuesday night just in
time to see an autOist drive his car
away over to the left side of the Fort
Lee road and far out of the long line
of autos waiting for the crossing
gates to lift.
1t didn't take the Mayor long to
reach the car and make inquiry as
to why it was out of line. The driver
exhibited badge of the State Motor
Vehicle Department, saying his name
was B. Haines and his badge was his
authority.
The Mayor couldn't see why that
should permit anyone, when not on a
special case, to break all laws and
invite ordinary citizens to do the
same by his example. Therefore, af-
ter a few words of argument, during
which the Mayor was told that Motor
Vehicle Commissioner Dill would up
hold his action, the Mayor called Of
ficer De La Cour over and had him
hand Mr.. Haines a ticket, good for
one appearance before Recorder
Walker Friday evening.
''The trick was a dangerous one for
man supposed to uphold the laws
to put over" remarked the Mayor,
''for had the gates went up and the
cars going the opposite way dashed
over the track there might have been a
smashup. Furthermore, the pulling
over of the Haines car might have in
vited others to do the same. Had the
man been on special mission in quest
of viOlatOr some consideration
would have been given. But no such
excuse was offered; the driver max
ing it plain to me that whatever he
did, Mr.. Dill would approve Of

Washington's Religion.

There has been considerable contro-
versy over the extent to which relig-
ious belief entered into Washington's
character. His own chronicles show
that most OF his Sundays, except dur
ing the presidency. when he felt
obliged to set an example, he spent in
answering letters, going over his ac-
counts. hunting or doing any business
that those with whom he was negoti-
ating had no scruples. In choosing
people to work for him he set up no
barriers of creed, judging men from
the standpoint Of honesty, industry
and ability.

To Soften Skins.

There are two simple ways of soft
ening leather and raw skins. One Is
to rub in thoroughly neat's-foot oil.
The other is to dissolve three ounces
of alum, seven ounces of salt and one
and one-half ounces saleratus in suffi-
cient hot rain water to saturate the
skin. When cool enough not to scald
the hands soak the skin in 1t for Il
hours; wiring out and hang up to dry.
When dry repeat this operation two or
three times until the skin is sufficient

TRI-COUNTY
BREEDERS MEETING

ford Breeders Association met in the
High School Auditorium at Fort

After fine lunch, served by the
Domestic Science Class of the High
School, under the management of
Miss Chick, their efficient teacher,
the meeting was called to order by its
President, W. H Furbee, and Mr.. Mon
raj, of the Extension Department of
Agricultural college, was introduced,
making a very able address on the
subject of Better Breeding.
There was large attendance, con-
sidering the unpleasant weather of
the day, and about thirty new men,
bers joined the Association.
In the discussion of the meeting
the mater of Marketing was given
prominence. This point and the idea
of breeding better cattle, seem to be
the dominant features and are the
ones to be first worked out by the
Association.
The Executive Committee is to call
another meeting, about midsummer,
to consider the matter of a Cattle
Show this Fall.
In his address Mr.. Monrall stated
that the now famous Highland Her
ord Association, of Maria, Texas, was
started with a far less favorable out
look than the Tri-County Aossocia-
tion has. That it was possible, in a
very few years to attain the same
prominence as the Maria Association
has. 1t is well-konwn fact the High
land Association secures more money
for cattle bred through the Associa-
ton, than any other cattle in the en-
tire country bring. They frequently
take first prize at such shows as the
Royal, at Kansas City and the great
Chicago show.
