IN TAMEST SESSION OF THE YEAR
CLIFFSIDE COUNCIL ROCKS ALONG
IN RECORD Time With LITTLE To DO

Only few people braved the bad
weather of Monday evening to attend
the Cliffside Park Council meeting.
Messrs. McEvoy and Marini were
about. The Mayor and a quorum were
present, and they went through the
business quickly and harmoniously. 1t
was the quietest meeting of the year.
And everything went so well without
any disputes that even the executives
themselves were surprised. A few
more meetings like Monday evening
and there will be hardly any people
present.
Requests of both campaign commit.
tees to string banners through the
borough were granted.
A report that Commissioner Larkin
and his road men had repaired the
breakage in the sewers in both East
and West Grantwood was made.
A communication from the Board of
Freeholders that they had at their
last meeting voted to take over Gorge
son avenue was read.
The West Grantwood Taxpayers
Association sent a communication TO
the board expressing it's appreciation
of the readjustment of the West
GrantwOod sewer and Lawton avenue
assessments.
There was no one present to protest
xl,a
Riverview avenue, and it was passed
on it's second and third readings.
Attorney Agnew reported that ne
and Auditor Wright had seen the bond
experts and that they We're expected
TO approve the new bond issue by the
end of the week.
Mr.. Agnew announced that $4,000
worth of borough bonds were due and
payable in December Mr.. Post asked
if the money could be had by then.
When the attorney said he thought it
could be DONE Mr.. Post asked: "Do
you think we can move along so faStly
in one month";" He also asked Mr..
Agnew if he remembered "the meet
ing with the old auditor. and that
some forty accounts were missing y
Agnew replied that he did, and that
he believed everything was ready, as
Mr.. Wright had checked everything
up.
The attorney reported that the en-
gineers had given him the figures on
the Lincoln avenue sewer and that
the assessment could be started on at
the next meeting.
Councilman SchweitZer noticed that
the press table was gone from it's
place and humbly asked the Mayor if
it could not be seen to, so that it
would be back in place for the next
meeting.
1t was decided to hold up the bills
of the water company until the bor-
ough receives the proper water
pressure.
The bill of the Cliffside Day and
Night Garage for repairs on the Cliff
side engine was held up until the next
meeting as Messrs- McEvoy and Ma
rini, both members of the Fire and
Water Committee, had not signed the
bill.
Engineer Ross McClave had a
sketch map present to show how the
West GrantwOod sewer system could
be connected with the Ridgefield
sewer. The Ridgefield Mayor and
council were to visit Cliffside to dis
cuss the proposed plan, but they did
not come because of the inclement
weather.

.CORKS ON TIDE OF FINANCE

Judge Gary, American business mans oracle,
is optimistic, thinks business will continue to in
crease, with better times ahead. 4"
Same prediction comes from leaders of nearly
every important industry. And production statis-
tics back them up y - S%I s1}@
The country is running into a period of big
physical volume Of business. Profits may be low
or non-existent for some time. But that doesn't
matter much.
Get people buying heavily That is the import
ant thing. It starts money circulating. Given
that, profits and prosperity will quickly adjust

NEGROES

We could solve one of our "race problems" by
sending our negroes to colonize Germany's former
colonies in Africa. This suggestion is made seri-
ousy by Dr. Heinrich Schnee, who used to be gov
ernor of German East Africa.
American negroes, however, might make con-
siderable rumpus before consenting to be restored
to their lost provinces Worlds supply of ships
couldn't begin to handle the traffic.
In making his suggestion seriously, Doc Schnee
discloses that Europe is informed on American
conditions about as accurately as Americans are
informed on Europe.

STRATEGY

Coal operators banked on big open-shop produc-
tion to make the coal strike anemic They are
cutguessed by the strike leaders, who center their
attack on the Connellsville coke district
This is master strategy, because the blow fell
where it was least expected. The union coal min
ers have been laying for" the Connellsville coke
crowd for 20 years.
Steel industry, a bystander, suffers as it's coke
supply is partly shut off. Judge Gary admits
even United States Steel's coke supply is only 81
per cent normal. Without their big reserve stocks
steel mills would have to lay off many men.

not experiment at home with fair-to-all methods

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

The dove again flow ahead of the
Twins and soon they came to the
fourth one of the Seven Valleys, the
Valley1of- Puppy Dogs.
'All can say is-cOme as soon as
you can," said the dove. "You have
a long journey ahead and Twelve
Toes and his wicked relatives have
put everything they can in your path
I'd delay you."
This sounded very alarming-not
that the Twins were afraid of dogs
they loved them-but what could the
bird mean by his words?
Away flew the dove to wat for
them on the other side of the valley.
INancy's quick ears caught a faint
crying. ITS under the basket" she
said, pointing to an old bushel meas
ure. %E2a &it! 1I2i
Nick lifted it carefully, and there
were six Of the loveliestf little brown
puppies that any little girl or boy
could wish to see.
"You darlings!" cried Nancy, cud-
ding them all at once. "Oh, Nick,
aren't they dear! Don't you wish we
could take them along?" f,=a.
"Yes," answered Nick. ."InMonder
where the mOther is and if she'd
care. I'll go. and, look for 'her."f@d
In moment che called back,
s"Nancy, come here! Qulck!'
Away flew Nancy only to discover
that Nick had found another basket
.of little whit, fluffy ,poodles no big
ger than mice, which came in for
their turn of petting, you may be
sure.
After that they discovered baskets
of puppy-dogs Observation-Disclosures
Of them, each more interesting than
the last-black dogs with short hair,
white dogs with long hair, brown
dogs with no hair. Bulldog puppies,
airedale puppies, collie puppies and
puppies: pom dogs, peks
dogs, chow dogs, FDstOn dogs. Dogs
of every kind and description.

HELLO, SPRING!
(By Berton Braley.)

Hello there Spring your scheduled arrival
Is due-or overdue, ought to say;
Right now begins your annual revival
Subject of course, to natural delay.
Your show is billed pastoral and gentle
And that is what we hope to gaze upon, g@
But oftentmes when you tempermenta
You put four-act melodrama can.
Instead Of opening with scented breezes ss.E.
And lambs that gambo on the village green,
You with roaring storms and sleet that freezes
And snow deep-drfted all the scene.
When that occurs naturally grumble,
Such wintry dope we audbly deplore,
"This show" we groan 'is merely rough and tumble.
1t isn't what we paid our money for" e
But still we know, before your act, is ag5..s
No matter how it starts-youll change your style
And rcmp before US, knee deep in the clover. %s
Beaming before with your tender smile.
We trust this year. you'll start the way you finish
Blitlesome and sweet i'll winsome ovelmess,
Making our winter WEAKNESS diminish
But we'ra prepared fer rough-stuff more or less
However you here, distinctly present,
No matter what the weather is you bring,
We greet you, quite determined to be pleasant,

chamber system, as in western Canadian pro-
vinces. Ns
England seriously considers eliminating it's
House of Lords.
In coming years theroll pe similar talk about
abolishing our national Senate. The Senate and
the House, however, are designed to operate as
checks on each other.

er that country is league of nations states.

.MY COUNTRY EVER RIGHT

A newspaper sometimes has to say hard thing
bout the policy Of the government over il
here is cult in America which believes that
ewspaper should never criticize the government
hould never, as they say, TRY to tear down tn
overnment AS matter Of fact, much critic
I'M of government is sincere effort to max
overnment better, or at the most to make bet
er government. The other day in England tn
Manchester Guardian criticized the British gov
rnment bitterly. We reprint it herewith below
Englishmen are placed in a position Of
Incompatible humiliation by their gov
ernment's refusal, as announced by Mr..
Chamberlain in the house of commons,
to find the trifing sum needed to save
millions of men, women, and children
from dying of hunger in Russia. To sug-
gest comparison between the Russian
famine, probably the most enormous
massacre, with tortures added, in all hu-
man history and our own present dis
tress in England is piece of shabby
triaing. The two things do not belong to
the same order. Perhaps lower depth
of meanness is reached in the suggestion
=
Russian government by refusing any
such infinitesimal and indirect relief to
it's finances as might accrue from every
12s with which England saved some Rus
sian woman's life-som women of the
peasant class which has broken the back
of the extreme Communist policy in Rus
sia by it's resistance. Meanwhile Amer
lea, through her government, has done
her duty and taken our countrys place as
the leader of the world in these national
acts of human charity, We cannot even
hope that our deposition from that place
of honor will be forgotten in history.
Just the contrary. When our anti-waste
stunts and the moments slump in our
trade and the freaks of our Orchards
are far outside public memory, the great
est famine in European history may seem
larger than ever in the backward perspec-
tive, and the fact that England stood
aside in the hour of trial may stand out
in the worlds mind against US like the
burning of Joan Of Arc.
These are hard words to be said of govern
lent by one of it's subjects. Yet they are tru
nd should be said. There is a duty higher tina
arrow patriotism; a duty that man owes to hu
lanity which is the highest patriotism, and whe
mans country is wrong, or when man honest
: and after sincere inquiry feels that his countr
wrong, he should say so.-Emporia Gazette.

president.

Like all things, this 25-mile proposition has a
psychic or mentalscience side.
Getting it down to psychological fundamentals,
it's like Boy Scout who grows at choppng

Whether task is hard or easy, all depends on
the mental attitude.
To enjoy life and make all tasks pleasant, select
the line of work you want most. That is your real
field. To get into it, fight and overcome all OBJ
stacles- -"mountains, walls and towers"
If you have people working for you, you can
"put their hearts in their work" by making the
work pleasant and introducing into it the element
of competition play.
Behind this is the explanation Of why so many
potentially successful boys have their life
ruined by parents showing them away from what
they want totbe, into occupations that they find
stupid or only mildly interesting.

be out of luck if the 1921 lively ball has
given way To dead one.
Maybe daylight saving has confused
the Cincinnati Reds as to the correct
time of opening the season.
Getting away to a bad start will
mean considerable hustling on the part
of the Detroit Tigers later on.
Owner Frazee OF the Red Sox has
signed up several stars and a number of
high-class players-for his shows.
Bill Carrigan being called the idol of
Boston fans looks right this season, even
if Bill has been out of the game several
years.
1t is said that Miller Higgins will
shift Chuck Fewster to the bench if an
other outfelder can be secured for the
Yankees.
The Cardinals are making a fight for
the pennant. Three of them have been
fined and set down for row in Pitts
burgh.
