s50,000 GAN BE SAVED F ELkS
 BUILD AT ONCE
Present Low Cost Of Mate rials Causes Local Lodge To Make An Effort In Speeding Up Work On New Home

Efforts to speed up construction work on the new Elks club house at Second avenue and Adams street are being made by members of the build ing committee in order that the lodge may take advantage of the low cost of materials, now prevalent Work on the foundation, begun about three months ago. is nearing completion and the building committee is hopeful that construction work can proceed without interruption.
 At least $50,000 can be saved the lodge on the original estimates by building now, they point out, because of deflations in the building mate rial market. Fully $20,000 can be saved on steel alone, they declare.
 Structural steel is cheaper now than at any time since 1914, a mem Der of the architectural firm super vising construction work on the club house was informed during recent visit to Los Angeles. the committee announces. Estimates for the steel are little. more than $20,000 less now than they were when plans were nrst completed about eight months ago. Other building materials have suffered slumps accordingly.
 Extension is Asked
 An extension of time for complet- ing the foundation has been re- Quested by the contracting firm, owing to unforeseen difficulties en- countered in the work The contract provides that the foundation shall be finished by September 1, but a 30- day extension probably will be grant cd, 1t was intimated.
 Such an extension, 1t was declared, will not interfere in any way with plans for carrying on other work. It would take at least 30 days to get structural steel to this city and this material will be needed before erec- ton work can be startedA The struc- ture is to be strictly class A steel structure.
 Beds of quick sand and under ground springs of water have been encountered in the building of the foundation, with a result that work is progressing slower than originally anticipated. Pumps are being oper- ated while concrete work for the swimming pool is being laid. These pumps throw out between 500 and TOO gallons of water per minute 24 hours of the day. But for these ob- stacles, the contractors said, the foundation work would now be fin- ished
 Total cost of constructing the foundation, including excavating costs and incidentals, is estimated at about $32.000. Members of the com n1ittee pointed out the resultant de- prectation and waste unless con- struction work is continued without interruption.
 The new home is to be three and five-story structure with 6 roof gar, den on the three story section.

PINK EYE IN CATTLE
 NEAR PATAGONIA

pr. R. J. flight, state veterinarian, yesterday was informed of the prev Alence of disease in the Patagonia district which had rendered a large number of cattle blind. Though the symptoms were not given. the doctor is inclined to believe that the ailment is pink-eye or karatitis.
 Piak-eye, said Dr. flight, is quite prevalent throughout the state. It Is not serious disease if given at tention by the application of local washes. It is not fatal if 1t runs its course. The animal goes blind, but a blind animal on the range soon be- comes a dead animal.
 The disease is much more frequent among young animals than older ones and is more prevalent in the summer than in other seasons be- cause, probably, the flies are then the more active carriers of the in lection.
 The doctor has advised all who have written him concerning the dis ease and offered to prescribe treat meut.

Death Valley. in California, is now a sate place to travel if you follow the signposts of painted iron erected by the Automobile club of southern California. These iron signs are an- chored beneath the shifting sands to huge redwood blocks. Motorists planning on crossing the valley still travel in groups for safety. If one car breaks down the others hurry the travellers through.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE

The railroad workers through their
leaders have announced their intention
of calling n general strike October 80
in protest of the proposed wage reduc-
ton as basis of freight reduction.
The labor leaders are loud in their de-
mands, say they are just and are going
ahead with every apparent determine
ton of carrying out their threat.
Somehow the belief forces itself that
they will not be as daring as they in
dictate, and it Is this newspapers firm
belief that they will not do what they
have proposed. 1t is the most daring
attempt to strangle the rights of the
people everywhere that has ever been
undertaken. The labor unions have
rights, but none of the kind proposed
in this rule or ruin policy on the strike
issue. They would take the lives of
thousands of young infants, who would
not be allowed milk. They would take
food from the mouths of their own ill.,
fants. They would close all avenues
of getting food for the millions that
are dependent upon the railroads for
hauling what they daily eat Trade
would be dismembered and chaos
would reign. The one power able to
stop this precipitate thing is the Unit
ed States government. If there are any
monkeyshines about this strike and
putting it into effect october 30 every
man under arms should be called out
TO man the railroads. And if any man
attempt to oppose this step woe be
unto him.
Somehow we lean to the side of com
mon sense, for surely this thing can
not be. The labor leaders are merely
overconfident about their ability to tie
up the country and precipltate civil
war. The time is not ripe for that.
And besides, If labor has decided to
array itself against law and order the
sooner 1t is taught the law and that or
der must and shall be respected the
better.

LEGION AND TENNIS CLUB

Palisade is still too small to have
much in the way of diversified in
terests. In communities of this size
it is always best to have the various
institutions coordinate for the COM
mon good rather than undertake to
have small groups try to go it alone.
This is the basis of the Union Church
of Palisade. One may belong to this
church without in any manner sur
rendering connection with any otheH
to which one might have belonged
previously, and to which one might for
reasons desire to continue the con-
nection.
This thought is brought into being
at the moment because there are at
this time two organized bodies of
young men, each trying TO do some
thing tangible and beneficial to the
community, yet as matters stand they
are divided on the matter of pooling
their interests and getting together for
the common good. Reference is made
to the American Legion, and the Pal
isade Tennis Club. Both organizations
are trying to go out for location on
which to pitch tennis courts, organ
ize basketball and baseball teams,
and do other things they each think
would contribute to their own success
and that of Palisade. Now, why
would it not be desirable for these two
interests to combine for the common
good? 1t would not harm the identity
of the one nor spoil the aims of the
other. Certainly their aims are iden-
teal, each looking towards owning
clubhouse and grounds and develop
ing a stronger interest in social actiy-
tiles and encouraging the development
of sports for the health and enjoyment
of the youth of the village, and like
intent.
And If there is desire upon the part
of the members of both of these COM
mendable organizations to preserve
their Identities, it could be encom-
passed by hyphenating the two names
in some acceptable manner. Or, fail
ing in this, there stands the old name,
Palisade Athletic Club, which would
be an admirable name to perpetuate,
being the first of the local young men
orders that started out to help Pail
sade's appreciation of social and ath-
letic advancement. What say, you,
young gentlemen?

piOnship. Ruth has been a genuine
popular idol, first because he could do
things, then because he appeared to
have a most amiable disposition. In
deed, he seemed almost lovable. Ruth
argues that because a rule has never
before been enforced it should not be
enforced now. And this in the face of
a warning by the arbiter of baseball,
Judge Lands. Ruth has broken not
only pledge, but invoked the disap-
prevail of the great army of fans who
have coddled him in a thousand ways
and who have come to believe in Ruth
the man because he appeared to be
that had been bestowed upon him. He
says he is trying to prove principle
for the benefit of baseball. He adopted
an odd way to establish his faith. The
public likes fair play, and Ruth is as
much public servant as if he were
paid by the government to play base
ball. He has had strange counsel In
doing the thing that has brought him
so suddenly into disfavOr, thing to
be regretted. The one excuse he has is
his youth and evident lack of discre-
ton. He may be expelled from profess
sional ball. But there is much protest
against the rule that Ruth broke. Most
people think it foolish, as though base
ball We're copyrighted" as one puts
it, Maybe the rule can be killed; then
Ruth will be saved.

IN LATIN PHRASES
(Communicated)

Old Seneca said, "Paucos servitus
plures servitutem tenent, which means
few are kept in slavery, many enslave
themselves. How true this is any one
can verify by stepping aside and
watching the procession pass by. 1t
will be evident to the observer that
hatred, greed, graft, vice and many
other evils enslave many. Make an at
tempt to lead these deluded victims Of
their passions into the right road and
you will reap an abundant crop of
abuse and utilization.
The citizens of Clifiside borough who
have watched the political procession
pass by have seen incompetence, mis-
management and utter disregard of the
wishes of the people who have elected
the managers to administer their af-
fairs. Taxes have risen to such a
point that they have become a burden
without giving the taxpayer an ade-
quate equivalent. Our roads are pro
verbally rotten, our street lighting sys-
TEN is not much better, our police pro-
lection is inadequate. Our schools,
which should be the pride of the Dor
ough, have been sadly mismanaged, as
the report of the auditor shows.
1t is, therefore, of the utmost impor-
lance to every right thinking voter to
consider without prejudice the candi-
dates for the mayoralty of Clitfside
borough and judge each man according
to his record. Would it be to the bene-
fit of the taxpayer TO re-elect candi-
! date who, for the past six years, has
run the borough into a tangle of in
debtedness and high taxes or elect a
man who, as a member of our school
board, silently acquiesced in, to say
the least, irregular proceedings. Or
would not our salvation be to elect a
lawyer who has administered our court
for the past two years in a fearless,
impartial and irreproachable manner
a lawyer who is connected with the big
gest and best known law firm and who
promises us an efficient, economical
progressive and dignitied administra-
ton. man who promises to and will
consult the wishes of the people of the

Watching Cliffside
High With "Corkey"

Repeat last years victory today,
boys!
Only, make the score larger.
After last weeks victory Englewood
looks easy.
Martens and James Whalen will be
absent from today's lineup.
Hackensack was there strong with
rooters and large squad, but Cliffside
knew where to find the goal line.
The line was so close for the county
seat boys that they evidently couldn't
see it.
What a score-22 to z!
Coach Longley had six back field
men in action.
1t is customary for sporting editor
to be up in the rules of game. That
editor of the Bergen Daily News gave
Hackensack two points on touch
back. Maybe the score looked better
to him.
Leroy Heck gained considerable
prestige on Saturday. Both on the Of
fensive and defensive he played well.
He looks to be good enough for the
All-NOflueTu new JcISey llSht hoiA
this year.
McCabe at left half played very
good, his line plunging was great. His
defensive work stood out especially
we'll against the over head passing.
Nick was playing fine at full, but
Hackensack was out to get him and
they did But he came back gamely
all the time the Hackensack boys were
watching him. His punting greatly
outdistanced his opponents and he
made a feature forward of at least
forty-five yards. This was when Mar
tens scored Cliffsides' first touch
down.
Hackensack was bewildered when
Macdonald scored on trick play.
Both of these scores were made in
the first quarter.
There We're six minutes to play. A

Sadness reigned over the Hacken-

YELLED ATTACKS ON cADlEN

There are two contributed articles
in this issue of The Palisadian that
are interesting. They relate to the
very warm campaign now engrossing
public attention in the borough of
Clif1side Park. Each of the articles IS
q yelled attack upon Mayor Cadien,
who is standing for reelection. What
it is these writer's are trying to effect
is easy to see. Seeking to influence
public opinion in this manner is not
new. Indeed, it is Il very old form of
appeal. So far as this newspaper is
concerned, it feels that these good
folk with peculiar motive, to say the
least, would do away with this faith
full public servant and rend him i'll
twain, then send the remains to the
Gemnition bOw-wOWS. The mayor may
be bad, bad man, but it has been the
observation of this writer that wher
ever he has appeared in public he has
developed just enough common sense
and an almost ideal appeal to hold the
attention of people and to appear to
command their respect. Charging him
with wrongly handling the business of
tie public does not establish the fact
that he has done so. A man charged
with anything has the right of trial.
Mayor Cadien is now on trial, and the
people are to render the verdict. 1t is
all pure gueSswork to say that other
parties can handle matters better than
he has done or give a better account
Of their stewardship. And it is pure
bunk to say anything else or put the
situation any other way. The ballet
box is to be Mayor Cadiens court of
final decision. Call him all the names
in the list. Until the vote is counted
you don't have anything on him. And
even then, an adverse vote would not
prove anything except that the voters
had been induced to make change.
This is everyday American politics.
Senator Newberry said at dinner
in Washington: people who accuse
others often accuse themselves. It's
like the case of the ugly hired girl.
This young woman came back from the
butchers all GREATNESS and Hurried

PALlSADE

Situated upon cliff overlooking
the beautiful Hudson river lies the
town of Palisade 1t is connected with
New York by the One Hundred and
Thirtieth street ferry and is about $50
feet above sea level.
Many people from the large city Of
New York come and visit the beauti-
full woods in spring and summer. In
April the violets, which the children
love to gather, peep from under their
leaves to welcome the spring time and
the trees are white with the blossoms
of dogwood The robins, swallows
and many other birds are busy build
ing their nests in the tree tops. The
autumns are equally as attractive,
with leaves turning pretty colors, and
in winter the pine trees are overladen
with blankets of snow and ice crystals.
The summers here are delightful.
On the main road, where many au-
tomobiles pass, the people admire our
little red brick schoolhouse, which
consists of five rooms, seven teachers
and with go children enrolled.
The town is still growing rapidly,
more large houses are being built at
the present time, so the future of Pail
SADIE seems to be bright one.

A very good composition, but the
height of Palisade above sea level is
