MICKEY MOUSE
PROVES HIMSELF
GOOD SCRAPPER

Mickey Mouse" is the winner by
decision.
Believe II or not, but Mickey
trimmed the tan out of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Mockingbird this morning
And it happened right in front OF
the Press office, so That this is not
secondhand hearsay.
Mickey" came into the Press of

the razoo in quick style when some-
body yelled for the office cat. Birds
are one thing and cats another, and
"Micky" knows it.
He ambled out of the office aud
across the sidewalk into the great
open spaces of State street.
That was where Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
came in. They started on Mick
ey's" trail and chased him under a
bunch of cars parked on the north
side of the street. Mickey" kept
ahead of them but the birds knew
thing or two and boxed him up,
one attacking from the east and
the other from the west.
Mickey" knows his baseball. fer
he darted up and down the base
lines like big Lacquer and must
have scooted by Mrs. Mockingoird
for Immediately there was squao-
BILE in the Mockingbird family and
one could almost hear Joe calling
the Mrs. out of her name. They
pulled their freight up to the top

family argument, forgetting all
about Mickey"
The latter, staggering triumph

against the four western clubs.

won "a of q contests, while from
the same teams the Athletics have
taken % games while dropping

Unless the western clubs can stop
them on the current invasion, the
Athletics and Senators will make
the American League race such
runaway affair that nothing short
OF a miracle could keep them from
finishing one-two.
The st. Louis Cardinals retained
their three game margin over New

Four successive walks enabled
Philadelphia to defeat Cincinnati,

ninth inning with the score tied
but after one man was retired the
next four batters were issued bases
on balls to force the winning run.

j. s. LAND BUY.
HITS VILLAGE

The purchase by the United
States of $4,000 acres of land to
enlarge the Military Academy
at West Point will bankrupt the
little village of Highland Falls,
N. Y, unless the Government
compensates the village for its
loss of taxes.
Three taxpayers Of the village
came here yesterday to make a
plea to the War Department and
to Congress to live up to a pro-
posal said to have been made by
officials of the Military Academy.
Purchase Withdrawn
According to the committee
members, Supervisor Carroll A.
Parry, former Supervisor Jacob
L. Hicks, and Abraham Kopold,
last week officials of the Academy
offered to pay the village $780,
900 and to purchase the village
water works and give it to the
village.
This proposal was withdrawn
Friday with the statement Ihat
the War Department would not
consider any such action, as it
might establish a dangerous
precedent.
The delegates point out that
If Congress passes the bill, al
ready out of committee, to pur-
chase the site, 80 per cent of the
land that now pays taxes to the
. village will be cut off the tax
rolls.
Face Bankruptcy
This, it is said, would leave the
5000 residents facing increased
taxes. Last year, a $3.50 bond
issue was voted and a new school
erected with the money. With
the purchase of the property by
the Government, the villagers
would be forced to redeem these
bonds, it was said.
War Department officials today
declared that they can do moth
ing for the villagers.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Suppose that some of the rumors
seeping down from the higher strata
of the M. E. church in New York City
actually materialize by local vote to
adopt the proposed new political char
ter for Mountain Lake Park and the
almost certain result of the extinc-
ton of the Association by the trans
fer of all its property over to the di-
rect ownership and use of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, together with
the loss of local, State and county
taxes on an assessment of over $751;
600; and also the loss of heavy def
icit fund paid yearly for the benefit
of the Park; and also the loss of quite
sum of money and outside business
brought into the locality and county;
and also the loss of very many social,
religious and intellectual advantages
now enjoyed, what plan or power will
the political government by the local
few have to take the place Of and i'm

RATIFIED sPEECHMAKERs

The other day when President Hoov-
er. visited a rural school at Porto Rico
one of the boys was appointed to make.
a speech of welcome. He started in
bravely, but after speaking about 20
words, he stumbled and paused. He
could not think of the rest of his pre-
pared address. That boy should not
be discouraged or feel that he has dis
graced himself. The great majority
of Americans would do the same
thing, not merely if they had to well
come the President Of the United
States, but if they were called on to
speak at meeting of the local grange
or the town improvement society.
1t is a peculiar thing that great
many people who can talk very vol
ubly in private conversation, will be-
come completely ratified if they are
asked to say anything to a gathering
of people. They may have plenty of
good ideas, but their self-conscious-
ness is too much for them. They are
forced to close their remarks with a
few stumbling words.
Many people who have no real and
constructive ideas, can yet talk in
definitely without the slightest nerv-
BUSINESS. While the people who have
the best information and are capable
of the most effective leadership, are
often unable to express these ideas in
any public address.
This is one reason why things so
often go wrong in politics. The ton
guey orators are apt not to have thor
ough information, while those who do
have thorough information are apt
to get ratified when they try to get
their ideas over to the people in a
public address.
We need more people who have
thorough information, and who at the
same time can put it into clear and
logical form, and deliver it to the
people in brief address. Such per-
sons have an amazing amount of in
fiuence and do untold good. The
schools and colleges should do more
to help their students acquire this
gift.

votes and possible litigation.
There seems to be plenty of oil pro-
vided for political machinery. New
York City seems to have nothing on
the Mayor and Council of Mountain
Lake Park. How can the present
Association or anyone to whom they
can sell out function under the mayor
and council? What wiseacre can tell
them how or do it for them at less
cost and more profit to us than in Ia
ter times?
About all the complaint in the past
and at present is about the fifth man
on the Annual Committee. All this
trouble would be saved by an arrange
ment to choose the fifth man by lot OF
some other fair method. For one,
suggest this as better way to "carry
on" the good old Park we love and
have enjoyed SO much, and I hope that
troubling will cease and those weary
of it may rest.

BUY. A POPPY

In Arlington rests the Unknown
soldier of America and on his Tomb
are flowers, a token Of remembrance
not to the individual but to all the
men who gave their lives during the
World War.
Not every one can place flowers at
this shrine, but all can wear a poppy
during Poppy Week, sponsored by the
American Legion, as our personal tri-
butte to every man who died for his
country.
In every community there are the
widows and orphans of veterans, the
dependent families of the disabled and
the disabled men themselves to re-
mind us that while the war may be
over there are those who are still
waging a battle to regain their lost
health.
Let us not think of Poppy Day as
Just another "tag day" but as day
set apart on which to perform the
sacred task of helping the thousands
of men who are disabled because of
their service in time of their country's
needI
Beginning May % another oppor-
tunity presents itself to pay personal
tribute to every man who gave his
life for his country by wearing the
emblem of sacrifce-the poppy.
AS you pin the poppy on your coat
and drop your coins in the little box,
do it reverently, remembering that
those little red petals symbolic the
lives of the flowers of our country
that were given that you and I might
continue to enjoy it's freedom.

HELPING YOURSELF

to continue the work.
There will be no paid laborers.
Everyone who works will do so with
the thought of building a permanent
memorial. Thus far many citizens
have offered their services but few
have fulfilled their promises. Every
one will be proud of the park when
completed and everyone will be glad
to use it.

such an uphill job, even if men hav-

a regular Jewish uproar on our

The silence and inactivity of the

accept a vote for the new charter as
an invitation and an excuse to wash
