A Flea \n An Introduction.
Bay, nelghbo^ who was that soci¬ able- manly, pleasant, good-looking fellow we saw you down the street witb last Saturday and Sunday? And young woman, and older ones fwo, how long is tbat smiling, always friendly visitor going to stay with you? Did these good friends of yours come out from the sweltering, stuffy streets of the big cities to enjoy some fresh air and the freedom of the open country or did they come from some neighboring village of the Island to see what they could learn which would be of benefit to their -own town?
The "Nassau Post" has a great many readers in Roosevelt, and the publishers of this paper want to In¬ troduce these friends of yours to your fellow-townsmen. When you make them acQualnted with someone you chance to meet you look as though you was so glad and so full of enthusiasm that you would like to tell them of all the good traits and able qualities which you ever noticed in that friend. Why not tell Mr, Reed, 20 Whitehouse Avenue, about their visit, or send him a postal? He will be only too glad to know who our friends are, and make them ac¬ quainted with our |6itizens.
Some, people imagine tbat publish¬ ers and reporters have some inherent intuition thai enables them to know )f all that 1» going on. This ia not so, and they rely for tbe success of their work on the fiHendly help of those willing to "put them wise" to some facts which are of interest to all. . In the great citiA, accidents, strikes of various kinds murders- burglaries, and the ever-constant happenings of big communities fill the columns of the daily papers, but in smaller towns It is the friendly doings and the effort to make life worth living which count for civic success, and also for the popularity of a country weekly.
That sociable which was held at your home the oher evening with a few Invited guests, that birthday par¬ ty tHth all the Uttle friends of your boy or girl touched the home-life of every tot that was there, and was an inspiration to do likewise to every family not represented. A whole column of this paper is open, if nec¬ essary, tor report the family and help¬
ful doings of Ita residenta if we can only know about them, while not one line will willingly be inserted to make public any personal matter or petty Jealousy which exists. Club meetings, church services and other items, visits to other places by our residents, all meetings of a spciable nature, gatherings which have for their end the presenting of some¬ thing which may interest tbe whole community, everything in which we I can feel an interest in each other will be welcome news for the col¬ umns of this paper, and we solicit your co-operation and help in mak¬ ing the Roosevelt department of this paper second to none of vital inter¬ est to every resident of our village. Send your Items to our town repor¬ ter, and always sign your name, so that he will know who It comes from.

For Roosevelt
Commendable Work.
The artistic results produced by those engaged In horticultural work is usually worthy of commendable notice. I..ast summer a plot of ground at the corner of Nassau Road and Clinton Street, Roosevelt, was noth¬ ing more than a field of weeds. This year it has been transformed into a garden spot >»hich at once attracts the attention of the passer-by, and is the thought and work of our fellow- townsman Mr. Wm. Ellison, the well known surveyor. A hardened path was the only exception to the weeds, which was used by residenta to cut across to stop 62 of the trolley line.
This field is noW laid out in flower beds of various shapes and sizes, and contains blooms of such variety they are too numerous to try to mention here. One of the prominent features of the change is the fact that Mr. El¬ lison did not forget to provide that path across the comer for the con¬ venience of his neighbors. Such work is worth the attention it at¬ tracts. *

The Campaign Is On.
The Harmony Republican Club held its regular monthly meeting Wednesday evening of last week, with a goodly number of active mem¬ bers present. The committee ap¬ pointed to look into the cost of put¬ ting the large net-work banner in shape for use reported that about sixty dollars would be needed. They were instructed to go ahead, and this banner will soon be hung In a promi¬ nent place 8n the main street, and the campaign for national honors actively begun In the interests of the Republican candidates. • Another matter of vital Interest to this community is the fact that the club has decided to make efforts to taldlA over the ownership of the Board of' Trade Hall. This was presented for consideration at the previous meeting. The present owners of the hall is the Board of Trade Realty Co.. of this place. The price asked Is M.OOO, and it will be necessary to raise fSOO cash, the remainder to be left on first and second mortgage. In order to raise the above amount the club will issue stock at $1.00 per share.
This hall should be considered as a public utility of this place, practic¬ ally being built by the people, and in trying ,to preserve it as such the Re¬ publican Club, being composed as It is, of a majority of our citizens, is doing a work which should appeal to everyone. It is hoped that all who possibly can will subscribe to the stock needed.
Jack Clark, or "Brooklyn Jack" as the boys call him, because he is an e&mest Brooklyn fan, went to the big city to see the game last Satur¬ day. His pet team lost -4>oth games, and Jack sUyed with bis aunt till Monday and then mustered up cour¬ age to come home,
Mr, and Mrs. Conrad Diem, and son, of Mineola, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dl«m tit Manhasset spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Huber, of Main Street.
Messrs. Wm. Post and Fred Under¬ bill, of Henry Street, went on a fish¬ ing trip with Capt. Carmen on Sun¬ day. They were seen coming home each tugging at a heavy laden bag full of the finny tribe. Other fisher¬ men had better wait a while before trying their luck.
t Health Officer Needed.
I There seems to be no notice taken
; of the instructions given around by
; the Board of Health to keep children
I in their own yards in Roosevelt by
i some of our residents. No one seems I
I to be in authority here to enforce the
I proper rules to avoid spreading In-
I fan tile paralysis. A resolution slgn-
I ed by over 50 of our residents was
j presented io the Town Board of
Hempstead at their meeting on
Tuesday, calling attention to the
above facts. The Board promised to '
have an officer stationed here to'
look after these matters. I
Mrs. Fred Underbill paid a flying visit to her friend Mrs. Wm. J. Har¬ per, at Newark, N. J., on Wednesday. The former was bridesmaid for the Jersey bride, and two years have elapsed since their last meeting, which made the visit one of great pleasure to both.
The apron bazaar held by the Ladies Aid Society of the Roosevelt M. E. church last Wednesday was quite a success. Over $16 was realiz¬ ed by the sale of these useful ar¬ ticles. These occasions are always a source of much sociability and proflt both to buyer and .seller.
A Snffragette CInb.
A suffragette meeting was held on the lot at stop 65 on Saturday even- j ing last. A large number of our people were there and considerable enthusiasm was manifested in favor of the cause. Miss Davidson, of East Rockaway, made a very interesting address, giving a number of facts which ably supported the movement. Mrs., Isabel Eldridge, of Freeport, was accompapied In her remarks by illustrations on the screen, which gave a vivid impression to what she said.
Firemen's Bazaar
Next week, commencing Monday night, will be a busy week for tbe fire department of Roosevelt. Their enthusiasm and energy will not be exerted in rescuing people from fires, wielding axes, or flooding flames with water, but tbey are going to be quite active and make strenu¬ ous efforts to rescue some money you may i>art with, wield an influen¬ ce over the clasp of the pocketbook and flood you with soft-soap till you gnve up some of the "dough" you are holding on to like a tightwad.
It will be "firemen's week," the

big week, you know, for everybody loves a fireman (at leaat this coming week) like they do a soldier, yoa know. It's the glittering attraction of the uniform—enough said. But it you don't get In on the doings of next week, you will not be "in the swim," as tbe boys say.
Monday will be the grand opening night, and of course everybody will be there. Congressman Hicks, Sher¬ iff Pettit, and District Attorney Smith will be there and make ad¬ dresses. Some other Important pub¬ lic lights may be there, too, and what yon don't know about the brave firemen when they get through, won't be worth knowing. Hurrah, for the firemen, all of "yez."
