The New York Telephone Company
announces raise in rates effective at
once, or on receipt of contract, of
33 1-3 per cent.
Some raise!
; AS one Palisade resident put it aft
er reading his new contract:
What a shame! If Mr.. Vail had
been alive nothing like this would
ever have been allowed. 1t is out
rageous, that's all. If Palisade with
200 telephones in force, say, paid last
year the sum of $S.640, regular toll at
S36 a year each telephone, plus 20
per cent extra for outside calls, or a
total of $S,640, the next years call
upon Palisade will be about 1880.
Whilst this is figuring in small totals,
gathering up all the various small
communities of New Jersey alone the
added toll will be some cost! 1t
makes me want to swear"

Serious Fire
In Woodcliff

One of the worst fires in the history
of North Bergen occurred last Sunday
morning about 1: 80 o'clock, when the
National Casket Company's factory at
West boulevard and Twenty eighth
street, Woodcliff, burned to the
ground Eighteen fire companies re-
sponded to the alarm. All North Ber-
gems apparatus turned out every
company in Gutenberg was there;
one company from Union Hill re-
sponded.
The cause of the fire is unknown
and it is thought to have been of in
cendiary origin. The same place was
on fire the Wednesday preceding, but
was quenched with little or no loss.
The streams of the rural companies
were of no avail until pumps" ar
rived from West New York and
Union Hill. There is absolutely no
pressure at this point, and it would
be well if North Bergen purchased a
pumping engine Immediately
tense that while one company of fire
men played their stream upon the fire
another company stood in back of
them and kept the stream from their
hose on the backs of those fighting
the flames. One fireman, when he
removed his rubber coat, found that
the coat he wore underneath was
burned and charred, the heat being
so intense.
The surrounding houses were
threatened, but after hard work they
were all saved except one. The roof
and attic of this building were burned
and drove family of five living there
to the street in their night clothes.
Very few of their belongings were
salvaged after the flames were ex-
tinguished.
Woodcliff engine company did great
work and deserve a lot of credit for
the remarkably quick time in which
they responded. The only casualty
reported was that of Billy" Beltra-
mini of Woodcliff engine, who burned
his hand severely while working on
the roof of the adjoining building.

Gods Day On Earth
BY CHARLES w. B. LANE

Written for Palsadian
"It's Christmas" says Bobby "Hurah!" with shout
He dresses and runs down the hail.
Unloads his stocking and quickly he's out,
To romp with his bat ball.
The fond parents smile they witness his joy
Their trouble has all been repaid
To the delight in the eyes of their boy,
Because of the effort they made.
Wonderful day Of the Savior's birth,
Christmas indeed, is Gods day on earth
"!ts Christmas" says Grandpa, "Ho!" look here,"
He spies several gifts from his kim
Then with his arm he draws Grandma near,
To share in the joy with him;
Years are forgotten, a boy once more,
With heart full of glorious love,
The spirit of Christmas has opened the door,
And let shine the light from above
Although it's valued for less than it's WORTH
Christmas, indeed, is Gods day earth.
cts Christmas" says Smith, a stranger in town,
"And far away from my home"
Then almost before he has chance round
He answers call on the phone;
Invited to dinner by kind-hearted folks,
He thought Christmas spirit dead
They prove that it lives with laughter and jokes;
And it all only proves what I've said,
This day of friendliness, giving and mrth,
Christmas indeed is Gods day earth.

DURANT MANT HAS LETTER
WRITTEN BY AARON BURR
Judge c. H. Elting's Ancestor Was
Friend of Burr

Judge c. H. Elting of this city is
the owner of letter written during
the Presidency of John Adams, sec
ond president of the United States,
which is not only relic of rare val
ue but to which considerable historic
interest attaches.
The letter was written by Aaron
Burr, November 10, 1903 to Captain
Richard Oliver, of Hurley, Ulster
County, New York. The letter au-
thorizes Captain Oliver to call upon
a land owner some six miles distance
and purchase for Aaron Burr, at that
time vice president of the United
States, nine-year-old mulatto girl
slave, whom Mr.. Burr decided to pur-
chase as the girl was relative of
other female slaves at that time
owned by him. The paper on which
the letter is written is yellowed and
cracked with time, but the writing is
is cOuched in most excellent English
and very plain and to the point, as
were all the letters of the great mer
of that day.
During the Revolutionary war
Aaron Burr was a colonel, and Capt
Oliver, who is the great-great granC
father of Judge Elting, was in charge
of company in Burr's regiment
and the two became very close per
sonal friends, each of them being fire.

Immediately after the writing o.
this letter, about a year, came tn,

President of the United States, which
resulted in Thomas Jefferson's elec

Alexander Hamilton, threw tn,

and it was this campaign out O.
which grew the bitterness, which re
suited in Burr's challenging Hamil
ton to a duel, in which Hamilton wa

Judge Elting prizes the letter yer,

for us in exchange for beef, pork,
flour, corn and etc.
We certainly did some good honest
work in helping to defeat the Central
Powers on the fields and seas of bat
tie, but we quit too soon.
We should have stayed with our
allies till peace was restored, in fact
as well as name.
1t is the belief of those who have
studied the situation closely that the
United States and the world at large
would be today intentively better off
in the League of Nations with the
rest of the world at the close of
the great war.
Henry Cabot Lodge as the leader
of the Republican party kept us out
of the League, assisted of course by
deputy Republicans like Reed, Gore,
and few more, and the great editor
of the Globe Democrat of st. Louis
found this out few months ago and
this same editor also discovered that
article 10 was not loaded now and in
fact never had been loaded even
when Lodge, Borah, johnson and
Reed were on their knees before it,
begging it not to go off. Mr.. Lodge
thus created the Political issue for the
Presidential campaign of 1920, and
won for his party by the unprecedent-
ed majority of seven million votes
Since there are about six million
German voters in the U. S. it is evil
dent that Harding got all of them as
well as that of all the slackers and
uncaged traitors to win.
Down here in the cotton country
some people classify the Harding Ad'
ministration with the Boil Weevi
pest, the unusual drouth and JohT
Field properly Of Kansas.
We should have left Harding alone
in Marion, Ohio and probably it was
as we'll to leave Jimmie Cox in Ohio
also and we should have chosen, fol
President some man with a vision like
that of Woodrow Wilson to steer the
Ship of State through the troubled
waters. But we did not and we arc
suffering the unbelievable consequen
ces.
1t looks as though we will be il
agony till March 4th, 1925.

The speaker was Ruth Law Oliver,
daring woman aviatrix, who for 10
years has been courting death and de-
flying it as a stunt flyer both in
America and Europe.
She has quit aviation. Retired for
ever.
"Why?"
Because I'm normal woman and
else that goes with married life," she
says.
"Why, I've been married for almost
ten years to Charlie oliver, the man
who has managed my exhibitions, and
scarcely anyone knew who he was.

rled about me all that time that every
time l went up he lost a pound.
"It was matter of choosing be-
tween love and profession. OF course
I'm just crazy about flying. But
ones husband is more important"
The divers are to leave soon for
California, where they intend making
their home in Beverly Hills.

little monoplane in the family ga
rage.
But she has decided even against
that.

to be-" she says. "Flying steels the
nerves and all that sort of thing
