Year of Freak
Weather Here
GOVERNMENT WEATHER Elk.
PERTS SAY CAUSE is LACK
OF SPOTS ON SUN.

Government weather experts anG
scientists, after intensive study OF
conditions on the sun, have predicted
a summer of freak weather because
of solar conditions.
Because the sun is taking a vaca-
ton just as it has done every eleventh
year for a long time, scientists at the
Smithsonian institution and the
weather bureau predict "Topsy tur-
vey" weather for the entire year. By
next year, they said, the sun will
probably be back on the job again
and normal conditions can once more
be expected.
The weather bureau experts point
to the cold spring throughout the
United States, unusually hot weather
in Europe, hurricanes on the Pacific,
and tornado and cloudburst in Wash
ington, D. c., as evidences of the I'M
stetled conditions prevailing which
will make weather forecasting well
nigh hopeless.
Snow storms in April carrying rec
ord breaking depths of snow, cold
weather which delayed seeding we'll
along into April, and two cloudbursts
within week have made the Hutch
inson weather prophets rather careful
of predictions. With the result of
the scientists Investigations to guide
them they may well take vacation
for the summer from all weather
forecasting.
The cause of such conditions, as
nearly as the scientists can explain it,
is this:
Every IL years the sun has ceased
developing sun spots, during the 200
years covered by reliable data. These
spots, breaking out on the surface of
the sun like volcanic craters on the
earth, indicate that the sun is work
ing full time and their appearance is
accompanied by plenty of heat and
normal meteorological conditions on
the earth.
But when the sun spots do not ap-
pear the sun rests and cools off. This
year it is furnishing the earth from
three to four per cent less heat than
usual. Under such conditions the
weather on the earth "goes to pieces"
conditions are extreme-either very
not or very cold; very rainy or very
dry; very calm or very stormy.
Storms are likely to be of unusual
violence. Droughts and heat waves
81 killing intensity may occur.

Dance Laws Eff
eCtive June |
NEW LAW MAKES STRINGENT
REGULATIONS; PROVIDES FOR
SUPERVISION ETC.

The law regulating public dances
passed by the recent legislature will
become effective June /, 1882.
The new law provides for the IL
censing of all places where public
dances are held, such licenses being
granted to persons, clubs, organiza-
tions, etc., by the councils of the vari-
Gus cities or villages town boards
or county commissioners, as the case
may be. The law sets no fees to be
charged, this being left to the various
municipalities, towns and counties.
Police supervision is necessary un-
der the law, and the police officer
must be paid for in advance by the
person or persons who operate the
dance. The police officer need not
be public officer, but he must be
appointed by either the mayor of the
city, president of the village, or by
the sheriff.
Parties desiring to give public dan
ces must make application to the prop
er authorities, who will act upon the
application and either grant or reject
the application, after investigation.
All applications will be on forms
furnished by the municipalities
towns or counties, must be accom-
panied by an affidavit of two per-
sons that the applicant is of good NOR
al character and reputation and has
not, within the five years past, been
victed of a felony or gross misde-
meanor.
No intoxicating liquors are allowed,
nor may any person drink intoxicating
liquor within 100 feet of the dance
hall, neither are intoxicated persons
allowed in the hall or place where
the dance is conducted.
The place where the dance is con-
Quoted must be brightly lighted.
The license granted may be re-vok-
ed upon the application of five free
holders to the village council, if, af-
ter the hearing, the provisions of the
law have been violated.

Legislation TO
Benefit Farms
STATE FARM CREDIT SYSTEM
MOST IMPORTANT OF
ACTS PASSED.

Legislation authorizing the estab
lishment of a state long time lOar
system is among the 1929 legisla-
lures most important acts, from the
viewpoint Of farmers.
The rural credits bill is based on
the constitutional amendment passed
last fall, after vigorous campaign
waged by the Farm Bureau.
The state rural credits bill, intro
duced during the first days of the ses-
ion by an interim committee OF
which R. A. Wilkinson of Washing
ton county is chairman, was passed
and signed shortly before adjourn
ment. The law differs from the orig
inal bill but slightly. The system will
be handled by board of three-a
"dirt" farmer and man with special
knowledge as to real estate values
and loan praitices to be appointed by
the governor-and representative
of the attorney generals office. The
law provides that loans shall be for
not more than 60 per cent of apprais-
ed value, plus 33 1-3 per cent of the
value of the improvements, which i'm
prOvements shall in no case be con-
sidered to be worth more than $8,000
Loans ranging from $500 to $751;
600 are provided. Money may be
borrowed to liquidate present indebt-
edness, to buy equipment or livestock,
to build improvements or to make a
first payment on land subject to q
second mortgage. Repayment of the
loan on an amortization plan, run
ming for not more than 35 years and
a reduction in the interest rate, over
that now being made are two impor-
tant factors that farmers wanted
when they passed the amendment and
which have been included in the bill
from the first draft.
Ranking close to the credit bill, is
legislation providing for the extern
sion of cooperative marketing or
CARNATIONS. Monday afternoon Gov
ernor Preus signed the so-called
standard cooperative marketing bill,

be brought into the community life
to learn that there are peace and we'll
being only in cooperation, never IN
selfish striving.
And as DIR. Lynch says, the world
must learn that what it is wrong for
Christian individual to do is just
as wrong for nation to do. 1t must
realize that stealing and murder are
no nobler in nations than they are III
individuals. And the world must or
ganize to Danish international stealing
and murder-alias war-just as the
community has organized for that
purpose.-Duluth Herald.

CHRIST OR CHAOS?

DR.. Frederick Lynch of New York
and Everett Colby of New Jersey
spoke at the First Methodist church
last night to an audience large enough
and enthusiastic enough to make the
senators who are opposing President
Harding realize that they are poor
guessers about American interest in
international cooperation.
And DIR. Lynch told the whole story
when he said that if civilization is
to be permanent, if human progress is
to be freed from the imminent threat
OF utter destruction, if human lives are
ever to be lived in peace, prosperity
and security, the world must lear,
to live the community life as Christ
ians learned to live it in their local
communities.
He told the whole story of the
reason for the worlds present pre-
carious situation when he said that
the world, so far as international re-
lations are concerned, still lives in
the state of barbarism which, when
it governed individuals, made every
man go armed through hourly sus-
picion of his neighbor.
And he tells the whole story of
out when he said that mankind must
profit by the lesson it has learned:
There is universal feeling in
Europe as well as here that no
permanent Christian civilization
can be built on force; it must
be built on justice, cooperation,
brotherliness, charity, good will.
Force has been tried and has
failed. 1t all collapsed-civili-
cation nearly persisted. 1t can
not be reared or maintained on
force.
DR.. Lynch speaks in behalf of the
Church Peace Union, as Senator Colby
speaks in behalf of the League of
Nations Nonpartisan association. If
the responsibility for bringing the
community life of cooperation and
good will into the world does not rest
upon the Christian church, which has
the custody of the living message of
Him who came to earth to teach that
only Love can build, then it rests
nowhere. Says DIR. Lynch:
Again and again / have heard
men say that if the Christians
had been as much interested in
their common kinship in the king
dom of Christ and had realized
that their loyalty to Christ came
first, before either denomination
or country, as Christ said it
should, such debacle as 1914
never could have happened.
1t is true The debacle of 1911,
the end of the pain of which no living
person will see, came because Christ
ians have put too many things before
their loyalty to the common kingdom
of Christ-their country, their creed,
their business, their selfish interests,
the world and its hopeless material
reliances-when NOTHING should
come before that loyalty which links
men to God and to each other.
And unity in Christendom will not
come so much through linking the
denominations, though that is de-
sirable, as through more and more
Christians, individually, putting their
loyalty to Christ first above all things
seeking the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness and letting "all
these things" follow. Which will hap
pen if there is trust.
Nations will be made truly Christ
ian by making individuals truly
| Christian. When the individuals
composing the nations have put love
in place of selfshness, and have learn
ed that it pays, then the nations will

TO amend PRESENT
BUILDING ORDINANCE
Citizens Asked to Write Sug-
gested Changes to Frank
Meyer.

At the recess meeting of the Mayor
and Council of Cliffside Park held last
Tuesday night Councilman Meyer
made known his intention to introduce
an amendment to- the building code at
an early date.
He requests that all engineers, build
ers, architects or citizens who have
suggestions to make relative to de-
sired changes in the Building Code
and Zoning Ordinance to please notify
him at once in writing.
The petition of the West Grantwood
taxpayers relative to the Grantwood
Lumber Yard was considered, and it
was decided there was no violation of
existing laws as yet as far as the stor-
age shed was concerned, but they had
violated the law in storing humber to
the south of the yard and will be given
a reasonable amount of time to re-
move the same.
Mr. Dietrich reported that the total
cost of Cleap-up Week was 1868 and
commended the men on the good job
they had done removing over two and
one-half times as much rubbish as last
year.
The building inspectors report
showed an increase of nearly $4,000
in building activity this year.
The matter of the buses and the ex-
tension of time on tax bills is taken
up elsewhere in this issue.

Poppy Days Net
Ladies Nearly $3.50

The poppy days that were conduct
ed from Saturday to Decoration Day
in Palisade, under the direction of
the women's auxiliary of the Ameri-
can Legion, far exceeded expectations,
as far as receipts were concerned.
The members made a sufficient num-
ber of poppies to raise $50, and early
Saturday afternoon they had been sold
by several attractive members of the
fair sex, who proved to be sales ladies
de luxe at Palisade Junction. No time
was lost in buying more poppies,
wholesale, from a concern in Edge
water, and the sales force worked all
Saturday evening at the junction and
in the park, which netted in the neigh
borhood of $3.50 for their efforts Mrs.
Harry Elkan was chairwoman of the
poppy day committee and is deeply
gratified at the results. She and the
other ladies of the auxiliary are
thankful to those who helped make
the poppy days success by contrib
uting their time and effort, though not
members of the auxiliary. The ladies
who sold the poppies were the Misses
Magai and Maxine Sibley, Mrs. Magee,
Mrs. Default, Mrs. Littwin, Mrs
Stewart, Mrs. Baer, Mrs. Barkelage
Mrs. Bennett.

Fine Service
In Union Church

About seventy-five persons attended
the memorial services held under the
auspices of the julius Zanette post
American Legion, in the Union Church
Palisade, ON last Sunday morning.
Rev. Lawrence Kelly, chaplain OF
the One Hundred and Second Engi-
neers of New York, delivered the ser
mon, which had to do with the League
of Nations.
Rev. Kelly in a very forceful man
Eer gave convincing proof that it is
the duty of the United States to enter
the League of Nations and warned
that the thoughts of individuals must
be directed along lines of peace and
brotherly love rather than militarism
and discord.
He emphasized the point that it was
the duty of Christians and the Chris
tian Church to put the League of Ma
tions idea "over."
The church was beautifully deco
rated by Charles T. Logan, who be
decked the platform with the spread
ing branches of trees and wild flowers
which were exceptionally exquisite. A
large American flag was suspended in
the center, which covered goodly
portion of the wall.
The members of the local American
Legion and the fire company attended
in body.

Robt. Todd Assoc'n

The old folks of the Bergen County
Home, in Oradell, had the time of
their lives Friday evening, when the
Robert Todd Association of Bergen
county favored them with it's cele-
brated minstrel show, farce and mu-
sical comedy entertainment, which
was enjoyed to the utmost by all pres
ent.
Arrangements have been made by
Under Sheriff George P. Nimmo for
the reception of the association s
troupers and performers, who made
the trip from Palisades Park to Ora
dell in a fleet of twenty well decorated
motor cars bearing the association s
banners and American flags.
All the minstrel features as well as
the between-the-acts piece, "The
Ghost of the Toll House." and the
mirth provoking performance of
school Days" were given in their en-
tirety and were greeted with roars of
laughter and prolonged applause.
AT the conclusion of the show vote
of thanks and appreciation was given
by the inmates of the home and their
numerous friends to the players and

To Remit Interest
On Taxes if O. K. With
The County Officials

A resolution was Rassed during
the recess meeting of the Mayor
and Council of Cliffside Park on
last Tuesday night permitting the
collector to remit the interest due
on delinquent taxes up to and in
Guiding June Is providing the tax
payer did not receive his bill in
time to allow the usual Is days.
The resolution will be effective as
soon as the same is approved by
word from the County officials who
have been written to relative to
the matter.
Because of the death of Mr..
Sheehan and because the new col
lector was not appointed until the
twenty-first of May it has become
physical impossibility to get all
the tax bills out before the first
of June. The Council passed the
resolution SO the taxpayers would
still benefit by the usual Is days
granted by law before the taxes
become delinquent and begin to
have interest charged against
them.
