The Old Fashioned Saturday Night.
From the Newman Herald and Advertiser.

From the Newman Herald and Advertiser.
Get good running start for Sunday by
observing Saturday night as we observed it
when churchgoing was habit. The day
ton News contrasts the old-fashioned Satur-
day night with the present substtute-the
newfoundland its vivid and effective plea is
worth passing on to a generation that is for
sakng the church for the golf club:
Every Saturday night in a very true sense
offers time for a checking up process in the
lives of individuals or collectively of families
There was a time in the history OF this peo-
pie when solemn hush came over the fam
lily as the twilight hours fell upon the city
and countryside. Shoes were blackened,
cooking was finished the family altar was
set up and whole families waited in true
religious manner for the dawn OF the Sab
bath day. But Time is a relentless sort OF
machine 1t brushes ambitions, annihilates
traditions destroys our fondeSt dreams To-
dav much OF the solemnity which in former
DAYS was a part Of Saturday nights has dis
appeared and one and ALL old and young,
give themselves over to thoughts OF relaXa-
ton from the strenuous work OF the proceed
ing week and surcease from worry In a
sense it would be a magnificent thing II we
here in America could get back to some OF
the old-fashioned ideas which we formerly
held relative to Saturday nights. If we could
sum up, for example our weeks accomplish
ments and plans for the coming days we
could go forward to new and greater tasks,
we should gain new inspirations for service
to ourselves and to others. This may sound
idealistic, but it is the sort of idealism that
we need more and more as we progress.

Strawberries With Whiskers
From the Moultrie Observer.

Cats have whiskers to aid them getting
about, but when Strawberries grow whiskers
it means less to the growers, it is revealed in
a study of the United States Department of
Agriculture on why Strawberries Grow
Whiskers," just received here. In an effort
to aid the growers in combating WHISPERS
on the berries the department has made a
movie of the 'black mold" which the de-
partment says is responsible for strawberry
leak" and for the whiskers on Strawberries
The fact that strawberries do grow wills
kers may be news to some consumers, but it is
old stuff to the strawberry trade, says the de
partment in announcing the study OF the ques-
ton, and adds: Indeed, one of the prime OBJ
jects in the life of a strawberry shipper is to
prevent the growth of whiskers on the
strawberries which he handles"

Taxes. Taxes, Taxes!

We already have burden of taxes almost
greater than we can bear First, we are
taxed for property we own. Then we are
taxed for property we do not own. We are
taxed while we are living and we are taxed
after we are dead We are taxed when we
go to a show and we are taxed when we
take smoke, Taxes, taxes taxes! We are
taxed on our incomes by the federal govern
ment and now they want to tax our incomes
by the state. We are taxed when we go for
an automobile ride, and are taxed when we
put gasoline in the tank to go on. Isn't there
somebody who can figure out a way to re-
duce taxes instead of increasing them all the
time?

Purple martins, blue birds chickadees and
wrens are found to be effective enemies of
the cotton boil weevil, and they are to be en-
couraged as the greatest friend of the farmer
Birds everywhere are the foes of insect life
and almost nowhere are they other than
friends of man. The occasional berry or fruit
eaten by birds is an easy bride for their SER
vice in checking or destroying the virulent
bug life, against which man is next to help
less.

The worlds longest telephone circuit is
between Chicago and Los Angeles-2000
miles 1t would take seven days to make
the round trip and would cost minimum of
5000 A talk to Chicago over the telephone

today takes the place of a seven-day trip.

MOORE'S MAJORITY IN
STATE is 41,0OO VOTES
Whitney Wins in 18 of Fl Coun-
ties, but Hudson's Big Moore
Majority Defeats Him.

A. Harry Moore, "wet" Democratic
candidate for governor, was elected
on Tuesday last by majority of A.
900, given him by three counties out
of twenty-one, Hudson, Passaic and
Middlesex. Senator Whitney, Repub-
lican nominee, won in all but the
three counties named. Hudson's ire
mendous majority of 1O6,S41 for Moore
is what "did the trick"
Whitney's majority in Bergen coun-
ty was about 14,500. Cliffside Park
gave Moore majority of 164, Fort
Lee gave him a majority of 217, while
in Edgewater his majority was 81.
The Palisade section of Fort Lee, sup
posed to be 80 per cent Republican,
only gave Whitney a majority of %
votes.
Jersey City alone gave their favor
ite son a plurality of 65,007 In the
Second Ward in Jersey City Moore's
vote was 5,111 and Whitney's 81. In
one district in Jersey City out of 543
votes Whitney got only 1.
Whitney, it is granted, made a re-
markably fine showing when the odds
against him are considered. He had
the "millstone" of the Anti-Saloon in
dorsement around his neck, poor ad-
visers and surprising apathy on the
part of his own party to contend with.
His high vote is for the most part a
tribute to Senator Whitney himself
and his own personal efforts.
The Hague machine of Hudson
county elected Moore-no one denies
that.
Despite the fact that Moore is an
out and out organization candidate, he
is not without ability as leader and
an executive and will in all probability
make good governor
The press reports that in backing
up his 'beer" pledge he will upon TAX
ing office call conference of all wet
and "moist" governors to formulate
plan to force legislative action
against the Volstead act.

POSTMASTER GUS MEYN SECURES POSTAL DELIVERY
FOR PALISADE AND SERVICE Will START WHEN
PEOPLE PROVIDE mail BOXES AND HOUSE NUMBERS
Two Carriers
Annual Salary $115 Each Morning and Afternoon
Routes Mapped Out by Post Office Department.

The village of Palisade will soon
enjoy postal delivery as a result of
the efforts of the local postmaster,
Gus Meyn, who secured the co-opera-
ton of Congressman Randolph Per
kins in making the delivery of mail
here possible The people too, come
in for a share of the credit because
the amount of business done in the
local office was sufficient to warrant
the new service.
Before the delivery service can be
put into effect each house in the vii
lage must have street number dis
played as well as suitable receptacle
that the owners of homes without
house numbers outside provide them
at once and also put up a mail box.
He also requests that persons receiv-
ing mail in Palisade inform their cor
respondents of their street address
and have incoming mail addressed
with house numbers instead of box
numbers as heretofore. Delivery will
start just as soon as these things
have been done by the home owners.
There will be two deliveries a day
of first and second class mail, one in
the morning and one in the afternoon
Parcel post packages are not deliver
ed under the village carrier system.
The routes followed by the carriers
will lbe mapped out by the post office

Paul Wright Jailed
After Confessing He
Stole Mute Jewelry

Having confessed the theft of $3.50
diamond pin and gold watch from
the home of C. Mute, on Anderson
avenue, in Grantwood, Paul Wright,
20, of Palisades Park, is in the Hack
ensack Jail awaiting trial.
Wright was employed by Charles
Naerlich, the upholsterer, on Ander-
son avenue, in Grantwood, and was
doing some work in the MutZe home
on September 25 when the theft was
made. Mr.. Mute missed the jewelry
at once but Police Captain Frank Bor-
rell was on a vacation and he waited
for his return before telling the police.
Captain Borrell got the confession
from Wright and recovered the ring
from a jeweler in Palisades Park, who
had bought it from the boy for SIS.
The watch was recovered from a
Grantwood boy who bought it from
Paul.

and SHIELD polled respectively 1852 and
1897 while their Independent oppo-

only 141.

cents instead of 1 cent as at present.
The new system does not increase
the postmaster's salary but he is at
liberty to appoint two carriers at an
annual salary of S1,150 each. Mr.
Meyn will be glad to consider appli-
cants for carriers at any time.
To aid residents of the village in
securing the proper kind of mail box
quickly the Palisadian will go into
the mail box business temporarily and
describing the mail box offered for
sale at $1.50; also a coupon for your
convenience in ordering. 1t is made
of heavy galvanized iron and painted
with aluminium. 1t is easy to install
and will stand the toughest use and
all kinds of weather. If anyone de-
sires to have the box installed COM
plete, an installation charge of 35
cents will be made. Orders may be
sent direct to the Palisadian or left
with the local postmaster.
Mr.. Meyn is entitled to a lot of
credit for his enterprise in making
delivery possible for Palisade. The
fact that everyone had to call for
their mail has been the only thing
"hickish' about Palisade and now
postal delivery will give it a more
modern touch. 1t will be a great con-
venience to many who now have to
make three or four trips a day to the
Junction. Thanks, Mr.. Meyn.
