The Pet Column I_ •._:_ir-:”s-j OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART Edited by Mrs. H. D. Reynolds I/fc-'T—Ijar^e light tali male collie. No While marks. Named “Cliess.” He ward. Telephone ClifTslde 2!t3W or CllfC side 185M. We wish to extend our thanks to Mrs. Sammis ot Grant wood, for her good care of a lost collie (emaciated aiid exhausted when she found him), and her promptness in procuring him a good home. In speaking over the ’phone, Mrs. Sammis said, “l do wish we had a shelter for just such sad cases. The dog gave every evidence of having been a pet and it seemed a pity to have him shot.” We then con fided our hope that Cliffside, Grant wood, Palisade, and Port Gee will combine to maintain a community shelter. Mrs. Sammis said, "I be lieve that could—and should be done.” The Ladies’ Auxiliary of the S. P. C. A. are working very hard, Indeed, to establish a County Shelter, which could co-operate with a local shelter, particularly in the matter of unwant ed and unclaimed animals. We use the term “shelter” rather than pound, merely because so many people have become prejudiced against pounds. We grant they are not always run as humanely as they could be—but ours would be different. We would make It different. In fact, we could make It a model of which to be proud, at not too great a cost. ‘We kuow of a little girl who would give a “nice little dog” a good home. Now we’d like to know of a "nice lit tle dog” who wants a good home. Isn’t the frontispiece of Liberty magazine beautiful this week? As a work of art and as an ideal. You can almost hear the Boy Scout say, "I WILL be like you,” and we hope he means. it, Right now an Abraham Lincoln would mean a great deal to the world. And don’t forget that Lincoln’s great heart also included love of ani mals. There are many records of that —and do you remember that last week we printed a paragraph from Our (Dumb Animals telling that Lincoln's first school essay was written on kind ness to animate? in the same issue of Liberty there .... is an excellent picture of the late Queen mother Alexandra taken when ... she was the Princess of Wales with her pet cat. A cunning little kitten, looking most probably for the prover bial camera “birdie.’' Anybody adoring Webster’s car toons of children as we do will find a treat in his illustration of Fred C. Kelly’s boyhood ambition. It adorns Mr. Kelly's interesting article, “You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks,” in the March number of Hearst’s In ternational Cosmopolitan Magazine. Mr. Kelly differs quite a lot from Jack London. We hope that Mr. Kelly is right. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday the Westminster Kennel Club holds forth at the new Madison Square Garden. A dog show is a fascinating place—. once you've forgotten the conditioning and transportation end of it. Mr. Frank Dole in mentioning the show over the radio last night remarked, “Those are the dogs for me—the thor oughbreds. I've no use for any other kind.” Not owning a kennel, we can not agree with Mr. Dole. And it is the large sums of money foolishly spent Cor unnecessary thoroughbreds that embitters people who know the many children such money might help. SUNDAY SCHOOL MATTER NOW CLOSED SAY OFFICERS Continued from Page l’ knowing Mr. Guiles’ feelings on the subject, a Palisadian representative called up Mr. Guiles on the phone and asked him: “Mr. Guiles, would you give an ex pression briefly on the Palisade Sun day School matter!" . “I have nothing to say. The matter was all settled at the Sunday school board meeting Monday night. You’ll have to see Mr. Valentine, the secre tary, for any information.’’ “But I think the public would like to hear a statement from you.” “Why didn't you attend the meeting yourself?’’ “Because I did not know it was public.” • “Well, anybody could have attend ed. A man of your activities in the community should know these things. You might see Mr. Hayes also.” “I did speak to Mr. Hayes about v the joint meeting of the two boards, but he was noncommittal, saying no action was taken." “Mr. Valentine will tell you any thing you want to know." “I have asked him and he says there is nothing to say. I asked him to tell you at the Monday night Sun ,, day school board meeting that I would like to have an expression from you, and he later said he did not think it of enough importance to mention to you.” “Well, I’m just preaching,” Mr. |iy Guiles added, “the Gospel as I see it. Those who want to hear me talk can come to church.” Village Gossip —The Palisadian still has a few more mail boxes for those who want them. After Friday next the remaining mail boxes will be returned to the factory. Those who want one should ACT NOW. —There have been bigger snows in Palisade than the one of last week, but none more bothersome. The weather man said it was only eight inches on the level. But it's a safe gamble that out here it was eleven or twelve inches. Ask the snow shovelers. —Can any one tell right off the reel why the snow' around the trunks of trees was all smoothly hollowed out as though a sculptor had done it? Of course you will say it was the wind. True enough—we can see that. But will some college professor please give a technical explanation of how the wind hitting around a tree trunk will so disport itself in gambling around the round tree and form a hollow basin around the round tree? It is simple enough to look at, but quite another thing altogether to tell how it’s done. And, of course, it is em bodying the elements of centrifugal force perhaps and all that, doncher know, but really what’s the answer on the howness? —Will say that Gustav Fenerbach and his energetic family of wife and little girls are the liveliest snow workers in the entire village. And they know how to do a good job, too, even to lit tle \ —What word was more often spoken than any other in Palisade last week? S-n-o-w! What was the next word?

Mrs. Holohan leaves a husband, a daughter and two sons, owners of the Grantwood Lum ber Company. The interment took place on Wednesday at Calvary Cem etery, Brooklyn. Horse Play —That play last week of Gloria Swan son’s was a comedy of the most doubt ful kind—a picture of extravagant conception, so full of horse play and genuinely of coarse fun that broad ened on the ridiculous that one won ders how her million dollar highness ever condescended to touch it. It cer tainly was no credit to the glorious Gloria. It was a cheap order of horse play. Horse Sense —One of the milk wagon horses that drew a sled along the roadways of Palisade during the snow-covered period of early last week was noticed one morning doing his patient stunt. The milkman would grab up his bottle or more for a house, the old white horse the while keeping slowly on to the next house where he leisurely paused with no word from the driver going into the walkway of the house, emerging with the horse a hundred feet away, and again never a word. When he had taken out his quota for the house where the horse stood, he would disappear behind the building, the while the horse mosied on, skip ping the next house, then stopping and looking around at the next one, where there was a delivery to be made. How did he know when to stop when he wasn’t told? Just horse sense, you will say. Well, that’s it—a con crete example of it. Surprise Party To Mrs. Goodman Mrs. W. R. Goodman thought that no one in the village knew that she was still having birthdays, but on last Tuesday evening after she and Mr. Goodman had entertained their cousins, Mr. Page and his mother from Woodcliff and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Sibley, at dinner, the door bell rang and when Mrs. Goodman an swered she was met with cries of “Birthday greetings” and “Many happy returns” from about twenty friends and neighbors, and they came in greatly enjoying her very evident surprise. Then followed the presentation of gifts—flowers, choicest perfume, dainty handkerchiefs, beautiful can dlesticks, etc., and something in a bottle! Music, games and refreshments I filled the hours until long after mid night, and the guests departed ex pressing the sincere hope that both Mr. and Mrs. Goodman would cele brate many more anniversaries among their Palisade friends.

FRANCHISE TAXES! Of the total of $2,212,429 of taxes which accrued against Public Service Railway Company in 1925, the sum of approximately $1,000,000 was for Franchise Taxes. Franchise Taxes take five per cent, of the gross receipts of the company, and although levied by the State, are paid directly to the different munici palities in which the company operates, on the basis of the value of the per sonal property of the railway located in the highways of such municipalities. They are taxes collected for the use of the streets and are large enough to cover many times the cost of any possible damage that may be done to pavement by reason of the presence of car tracks. The municipalities receive every dollar of the Franchise Taxes and they can use the money received for any municipal purpose they desire, street paving and street repair included. They are levied in addition to other taxes, since the company pays real estate taxes, and a tax in lieu of personal property tax, based on its gross . receipts, at the average State tax rate. All these taxes are, in fact, a charge against the car rider. Every time he drops a nickel in the fare box, a quarter of a cent goes for Franchise Taxes, and an additional quarter of a cent and more, for other taxes. Taxes are, under the law, operating expenses, and like every other operating expense, are paid by the passengers. And, in spite of the Franchise Taxes, which are supposed to cover any charge that the municipalities make for use of the streets, the car rider is required under present conditions to make a further contribution—to pay for street paving! Paving is not used by him! He rides on steel rails, and would ride as comfortably and as speedily if there were no paving. Under such circumstances, the relief of street railway companies from paving obligations, as a means of retaining the Five-Cent Fare and improv ing service, is no more than an act of justice to the car rider!
