under a bush where Tommy could watch
them, and not for second did they
seem TO keep their mouths still: over

Timmy and said: We are afraid we

LOST CHUM FOUND.

He was a chummy little fellow only
months old strayed from home and
became lost in the big city. His owner,
who resided at els West Eighteenth
street, hunted every nook and corner
where a puppy might be but to no
avail Then he took the logical course
to acquaint everyone in Wilmington
with the fact that Chum was lost and
placed a four-line lost "Ad'' in Every
Evening. The finder though lover of
dogs, knew that puppy was someone's
pet and was looking for the "Ad." The
"Ad" appeared only once, at a cost of
56 cents and Chum was restored to his
rightful owner.

News and Notes

The work ON the Legion tennis
courts is going ahead with rapid
strides. The ground in the northern
part of the baseball field has been al.
most entirely cleared of trees and
shrubbery. The stage is now set for
the blowing away of the stumps and
the laying of the foundation. For
tunately some of the men were mem
bers of the Twenty-second Engineers
and it is case of history repeating
itself to see them tackle a job like
this.
The applications for membership
emitting a member to play on the
courts are being printed and will soon
be distributed in accordance with the
notices previously posted and sent out
The next event of interest to Pail.
sadians is the smoker to be given very
shortly by the Post Admission and
smokes free to all men of Palisade
and all men outside who are acquaint-
ed with any member of the Post. The
committee in charge will endeavor to
secure some interesting speakers.

The Bergen County Historical Soci-

the sudden death of one of it's valued
members, Milton DemareSt, which oc-
Cured at his home in Hackensack,
October q, 1921.
Judge DemareSt occupied with dig
nifty and honor to himself, his county
and town, positions or trust and re-
spOnsibility in the church and on the
bench and as president of the Hacken-
sack Improvement Commission. In
public and private relations he en-
jOyed the esteem and confidence of his
fellow citizens. A true patriot, his
eloquent voice was often heard during
the World War in behalf of the various
patriotic movements of that period
This Society deems it proper and fit
ting to make a permanent record of
the appreciation of it's members of the
life and services of our deceased asso-
ciate, as a testimonial to him of the
esteem and affection of our entire
membership.
1t is therefore ordered that this tes-
timonial be published in the Year Book
of the Society and in the county press
and a copy sent to his family.
