The story has just leaked out
about the exciting experience
of NJ. X. Bmton and Herman

duck hunting ON the Alamo

They were in a steel skiff when
they hit some deep rapids where
the channel was narrow and
the boat turned over the two

shells, and Il purse containing
$40 belonging to Benton. Hous-

MINNESOTA SWEPT
 BY GREAT STORM
Twin Cities Suffer Seriously as Result

Minneapolis, July R-Wind, rain and hail took heavy toll Wednesday in several districts of Minnesota, including the twin cities.
 In Minneapolis. four persons were killed, IS were injured, and one was reported missing in a terrific wind and rain storm which struck the south part of the city shortly after p, m. A trail of wreckage repre- senting more than $1o0,000 property damage was left.
 Streets were flooded and for sev- eral hours during the evening were blocked by hundreds of uprooted trees.
 The Lake Harriet municipal pa- vilion, one of the most popular of the city's playgrounds, was the scene of the greatest catastrophe of the storm. A section of the building collapsed on fifty persons, killing Mrs Emma Miller. her three-year- old daughter, injuring six other per- sons and throwing 200 persons in an adjoining room in panic.
 Among the several smaller build ings destroyed by the wind was the drug store not far from the Lake Harriet park operated by Charles R.. Fiester, 47. Fiester, although he escaped injury when the building crashed, collapsed outside and died of heart disease few minutes later.
 The fourth person killed was Will lard J. Ford, 30, who was hurled 50 feet from the cab of travelling crane at local machine plant,
 The fury of the storm had abated by the time it crossed the river into St. Paul. Minor damage was done there by the wind and four persons were injured In a series of accidents incident to the driving rain and wind. The most serious of these was a policeman who was struck by a rlate glass window which was blown . out
 Local storms of varying intensity. iron, mild summer showers to ter rife bombardments of hail and tor rential rains were reported from many sections of the state. At least . so per cent crop damage was snf- tered in Wright and Eastern Meeker county, according to early estimates hv the wind, hail and near-torda- does which swept that section,

 There was hugging. There was prancing. There vas laughter. There were tears. Loud and joyous gggles resounded the length of the hall.
 'I am so glad you are out" and "Oh, how thin you are!" "But I am so glad you are out" they were saying.

WHEN the heat makes you feel w that you can't eat mouthful, yet you know you need nourishing food-drink a glass of Borden's, the Improved Matted Milk. It's a wonderful lunch in hot weather.
 A glassful of Bordens Matted Milk has the food value of light meal. It is nourishing and sustaining, but not heating. More satisfying than ordi- nary matted milk, because it contains more milk.
 Yet it is extremely easy to assimi- late, because the casein is partially predieested. Borden's Matted Milk does not overtax the digestion.
 And you'll be delighted with the flavor, for Borden's has DO nauseat. ing sweetness. It appeals to the most hnicky hot weather appetite.

New Bus Company
To Be Sponsored
By Fort Lee Men

Plans are now under way by the
Fort Lee Transportation Company,
which intends opening thorough bus
service between Coytesville and the
Edgewater ferry, to present their case
before the Board of Public Utility
Commissioners in the near future, ac-
cording to statement made yester-
day by one of the incorporators of
the new concern.
The proposition of the coming bus
line was recently introduced by the
members of the Fort Lee Council, and
has met with favorable comment. 1t
is said that the borough officials are
contemplating the reduction of the
$3.50 license fee, which according to
the local ordinance, must be exacted
as the levy on each vehicle.
Several local business men, who are
sponsoring the plan, have agreed to
the council, if consent can be gained,
to guarantee six up-to-date busses
which will run on schedule approved

80 and even 40 years. All these men
have worked side by side with Mr..
Gulden and absorbed from him the
sterling qualities which have made
the business so successful, and when
he passed away a year and a half
ago his son, the present VIM. Gulden,
succeeded to his place as active head
of the business, continuing the pol
icies of the founder.
The store has been recently re-
modelled. The entire first floor and
show windows are of attractive
lime stone. Here attractive floor dis
plays are arranged; persons can get
suggestions as to how furniture
might look in their homes and the
new home furnishing service depart
ment is under the personal super
vision of Mr.. Gulden himself He has
spent many years studying interior
decoration and his work has been en-
dorsed by several of the foremost
decoration authorities in the country.
Thus he is prepared to give advice
and solve your problems-whether
you simply need your present furni-

want small odd piece or an entire

The VIM. Gulden Store
In Existence Sc Years

For fifty-six years the VIM. Gulden
Furniture Company has been supply
ing the needs of the homelovers of
Hudson and Bergen counties. Just
as the Palisadian was the pioneer
newspaper in this community, Gulden
is the pioneer furniture store. AL
ways serving the people squarely and
honestly, both the Palisadian and the
Gulden store have grown to the pres
ent large proportions.
First there was little store on
Union street, Union Hill. Then more
commodious quarters on Bergenline
avenue. Later this wooden building
was replaced by handsome brick
and limestone four-story building
which many North Hudsonites still
remember. In 1916 this building was
destroyed by fire-but only to be re-
placed by a larger and finer building
