County, 1916. Oflicial Paper of ViIlaB« of Freeport.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1915.
Christmas will be here before you know it. Have you made up your mind what you are going to tell Santa Claus to put in Johnny's stocking, or grandpa's sock, or sister's slipper, or father's sock?
No, of course not. It is quite a task to make up your mind just what you are going to get for each one. But
wait—
Bargain days for Christmas shooplng—December 16. 17 and IStta.
The Freeport merchants will have a splendid array of Christmas offers. You won't have any trouble about Christmas suggestions. The question you will be most likely to ask Is what would I RATHER buy, instead of what SHALL I buy?
Bargain Notes. There's a two-page advertisement In this Issue giving briefly a few of the special inducements that each meipber of the Freeport Merchant's League has to offer you on these spe¬ cial sales days.
An Electric Bailway.
Have you stopped to watch that sturdy little onglne pull a train of cars about in Claude Brotherldge's window? Of course you have. All of ua have for that matter. We are still rhlldren enough to enjoy watching the toys at Christmas time. They bring so many sweet and tender mem¬ ories. Now Brotherldge has intimat¬ ed to me that if Santa Claus hasn't had time to make a railway like that, why he can have it for $17.50.
Brotherldge has aome wonderful offers In washing machines and stoves. If the governor didn't know what to buy you and slipped you $10 or $15 "to get what would please you' bost," why you would probably flnd a washing machine or stove that'll be Just the thing you want.
Speaking of Pictures. Santa may have a Ilttle trouble get¬ ting it down the chimney—but if it doesnf flt the chimney it will cer- '.alnly flt your pocketbook. I mean a picture that Edward H. Olsen offers for $1.69. This is an exquisite pic¬ ture—you'll fall in love with It Just as soon aa you see it. He has a set of dishes, too, that's well worth look¬ ing at. Certainly If you need dishes you won't hesitate snapping up this particular bargain. Olsen has a bed, too. a brass bed that'a a splendid bar¬ gain.
Snng Sweater Coats. Billy and sister will think of you every cold winter's day as they walk along In snug comfort with their ice skates under their arms for an after¬ noon's skating. Your thoughtfulness In giving them a snug sweater coat will mean many hours of solid com¬ fort this winter and winters to come. Philip Nickelberg has Just the sweater you want. They sell for $2.50 most of the time, but for these three days—December 16, 17 and 18—ho will let you have them for $1.98. Ha
We Invite You

CHUBBUCK'S
Qaality Dmg Store
iffAm STREET FRECPORT
has sume pretty ^•'<'klies, too, and some felt Juliets at special prices.
Father Alwayi Thinlu Damn— Especially when a lady buys a box of cigars for a Christmas present. Usually it's some form of died kale in tbe shape of Cuban giants, about 10 inches long, and about an inch in diameter, dry as a bone and done up in tin foil.
But mother, if you want to sur¬ prise father, if you want to make fa¬ ther unspeakably happy, go down to Peroni's on Railroad avenue, he has the kind father smokes—A Que Placer, mild blend Havanas, 25 10- cent cigars in a box, usually sell for $2.40 a box, and you can* get them for $2.00. He has a special sale of Lowney's ci.djes, as weU as the far- famed Sunkist oranges.
That Particular Oirl. You know the girl I mean, Bill, we won't mention names. But you cer¬ tainly wlll make a hit if you stop at Smith & Bedell's and get a box of Belle Meade Sweats. Another thing, Bill, Smith & Bedell has that great assortment of pocket knives that that kid bother of yours has been talking about. They have a great line of Thermos bottles, too.
Bicycle Special.
Now, of course. Bob, just must havo that $30 Model New England bicycle down at Sidney Smith's. He has been casting longing eyes at that for some time. He has been expati¬ ating upon the good qualities of this bicycle, it's truss frame, spiral spring saddle, coaster brake and so on. Now father it's time to shell out. You can get this bike for $23.50. You can't beat It. Smith has some other things such as tires, and leather top sad¬ dles on which he Is making a special sale price. You might buy an extra supply of these while you are about it.
A Box of Chocolates Free.
Now, sister, you can get a 40-cent box of chocolates freo down at Chub- buck's with each $1.50 purchase of perfume. You know how crazy May Is about perfumery—even BUI sneaks a Ilttle on his necktie when he leaves the house so mysteriously on Wednes¬ day evenings. Chubbuek's have a dandy hot water bottle, and now is the time to get a Sterno Stove, special at 4 9 cents. These two are real bar¬ gains. Be sure to nail them before they are all sold out. Fill Stockings with Broken Candy. John /BIrkholz has some home¬ made broken candy that wlll be Just the thing for fllUng stockings; two pounds tor a quarter. His home-made American mixed, and mixed choco¬ lates will bring a glad smile to the youngsters' faces. Just remember this whao you are going your shop¬ ping rounds.
You'll Be Hungry. You'll be hungry after your morn¬ ing's shopping; anyway you don't want to bother with dinners shopping days. Round up tbe whole family and take them down to the Colonial Hotel. Their far-famed chicken and waffle dinner, mind you, their regu¬ lar $1.00 dinner may be had for just 50 cents. It makes your mouth water to even think about ii.
That Electric Desk Lamp.
The one you have been thinking about buying, but bave always put off for some reason or other. Campion has 'em, his window down on Rail¬ road avenue Is full of them, they won't be there l^ng—mahogany base, silk shade, sells everywhere at $5.50. It's an irresistible bargain at $3.50! He has a toaster, and a beating paa. at a special price, not to mention a very complete line of electric com¬ forts, and home conveniences. Bemember What the Governor Said?
Of course you remember what the governor said that dark night you all got lost in that benzine buggy of yours on the lonely road out of no¬ where. Remember how the wind blew the matches out, one after an¬ other, when he got out to find out what the duece was the matter with the engine. Father's remarks were certainly colorful. If you want to make him smile when the Christmas bills come in, give him a combina¬ tion dash and trouble lamp, or an electric cigar lighter. He might flnd a foot warmer comfortable in tbe car these chilly daye. You can get these at Post's garage. Father will certain¬ ly pay the Christmas bills withont a murmur if you give him presents like this.
Gem Janicr Raion.
Clarence S. Abrams will sell these dollar razors for 89 cents—for a dol¬ lar's worth the Gem Junior can't be beat. A handy flash light will keep father from sprawling over the wheel¬ barrow these dark nights when he goes down to flx the furnace. Abrama liaa some handy flash lights. And he
is going to give some gold flsh away witb every 25-cent Rexall purchase.
Extra! Extra! Did you know that Charles D. Smith Is Just Introducing to the Freeport public a brand new men's furnishing department? That's Just what he's doing. He is giving a 15 per cent, discount on these three days on all Royal Tailor suits and overcoats. He has an excellent line of men's shoes that he ia closing out at $2.98, some of these values were formerly $4.50.
) Toys.
Look at the Santa Claus Dream¬ land that Charles P. Seaman has to show you. It'll give you genuine pleasure to watch the eyes of the lit¬ tle folks snap and dance as they sur¬ vey a wonderful army of dolls, and dolls' carriages, express wagons, ve¬ locipedes, iron toys of every descrip¬ tion, games and books, and goodness knows what not. Above all you'll flnd that when you are through with your toy shopping your pocketbook won't look as though Jumbo had walked on it.
Dress Mufflers.
Go to Adolph Levy & Sons, lend yourself to the spell of the inimitable Dave Levy's persuasive salemanship. They have Just the right kind of a silk muffler for Bill; black and white stripe, checked or plain. Usually sen j for $1.35. You can get them these I three days for $1.00. Everybody' knows what a fine shirt the Arrow dress shirt is, especially their soft bosom embroidered dress shirt—they sell everywhere for $2.00; you can get them at Levy's for $1.45. He has some black and tan kid slippers that will certainly feel comfy on winter evening. These slippers sell at $1.50, ordinarily; they are Just $1.20 now for these three days.

If you don't happen to want Regal shoes go In and look anyway. His store'ls going to be a pretty nifty looking af¬ fair. Better tban that, he has a flne stock to show you.
Christmas Pies.
Mother why should you bother fuss¬ ing about witb Christmas pies. You can get some dandy mince pies at the O. K. Bakery. You better get two while you are at It, because Bob will be sure to pass his plate a second time. And speaking of pies, if you have never Iried the O. K. Bakery's pies it is time you are doing it. There will be a special offer on pound and raisin cake on these three days.
$10,000 Worth of Ford Parta.
George Bennet Smith, who bas the exclusive Ford agency of Freeport, is ready to flx up Santa Claus' car if he should have a breakdown in this vi¬ cinity. And you might pass the tip to banta when you see him, that Smith has the most complete work¬ shop on the Island.
Father's Favorite Tobacco. Louis Michnoff has made a special combination of a pipe and a dO-cent Jar of smoking tobacco. Prince Albert or Tuxedo, all for $1.00.

This iRHUf of The NasBau Pont Ib dedicated to tho Freeport Merchants' League.
It is a worthy movement.

The K'aBt that you can do Is to In¬ vestigate. It will co.st you nothing to look at the shop windows. It will cost you nothing to go In the stores and look .at fhe articles they have advertised.
Kvery merchant realizes that he must stand or fall upon the merit of his of¬ fering.

It remains for him to back up his word with deeds.

THE OFFICIAL. NEWSPAPER.
.Mr. H. C. Prichard, applicant for a 99-year lease of approximately foi^y acres of- town land for tbe alleged purpose of constructing a 100-foot boulevard to Long Beach, In attempt¬ ing to force the town board to take hasty action, filed with Town Clerk Oiibert at tbe regular meeting of the board on Tuesday, a petition signed by flfty taxpayers which requires an im¬ mediate referendum to the people at a cost of $5,221.
The petition printed in its entirety herewith, is wholly inadequate, de¬ cidedly indefinite as to territory and absolutely witbout reasonable eafe- guards to the rights of the people of tbe town of Hempstead.
TO FRANKLIN C. GILBERT. Town Clerk of the Town of Hempstead, In the County of Nassau, State of New Yorlj.
The undersigned, tax payers of said
town, whose names appear on the last
assessment roll of said town, hereby
I make application and require of you to
' call a special town meting, pursuant to
, Section 46 of the Town Law, not later
I than the Tth day of January, 1916, for
I the purpose of authorizing and empow-
' ering by a vote of the electors ot said
town, the Town Board or other proper
officer or ofHcers of said town to adopt
and pass the following resolution and
I to do all acts necessary to carry out
I thf terms thereof.
i Resolved, That the Town of Hemp¬ steud grant to H. C. Prichard, or his as¬ signees, a lease for a peiiod of 99 years, of a strip of land not exceeaing three I hundred feet In width, for a right of ' way or road through a certain piece of [•roperty belonging to and now owned by the Town of Hempstead situated, lying and being on the west side of Gar¬
ret's Lead between Barnum's Is'and Creek and Long Beach Channel (W -'"It Channel) Including all rights lo c.."- streams and build bridges thereovti, subject to the rules and regulations of the United States War Department, for the purpose of constructing, maintain¬ ing and operating a roadway, pathway or boulevard for the use of pedestrians or motor vehicles under such rules and regulations and on such terms and con- dltior>s as the said H. C. Prichard or his assignees shall prescribe, subject to the following condiiions:
1. That the Inhabitants of the Town of Hempstead have access to, and the right to cross the land so leased at any point, and the right to uae aald roadway, pathway or boulevard without any charge whatsoever, but subject to gen¬ eral trafflc regulations, effecting all us¬ ers of said premises.
2. That tne property Included within said leaae be accurately aurveyed and deseribed. '
3. That no buildings or structurea of any kind, other than those necessary for use In connection with the construc¬ tion or maintenance of said roadway, pathway or boulevard be erected upon the land so leased.
4. That all improvementa. Including bridges, revert to the Town of Hemp¬ stead upon the termination of the lease for any cause.
5. That upon the failure of the said H. O. Prichard, or hla«asslgnees, to com¬ mence construction of said roadway, pathway or boulevaid within six months after the granting ot said lease, or of .'It any time after commencement of work th< ri>on, the construction of said roadway, pathway or uoulevard be discontinued for a period of three months, unless due to circumstances not within the control of the petitioner or his assignees, said lease .shall terminate and ali rights thereunder shull revert to thtt Town of Hempstead.
And that the Town Board .and any other proper offlcer or officers of the Town of Hempatead are hereby author¬
ized and empowered to do all aots n*a«a- aary for tbe carrying out of the terms of thta res*lwtlon.
Supervisor Hiram R. Smith wben asked what the attitude of tbe towa otficlals was, said:
"It does not seem rigbt tbat twenty- five taxpayers can at any timo call a special election and thus cause an ex¬ pense of over $5,000 to tbe town. The town board, however, has no op¬ tion in tbe matter. The law is man¬ datory.
"Since, however, a special town meeting must be held, the most tbat we can do Is to see that the town's In¬ terests are protected.
"The proposition as submitted doee not, lu our opinion, contain suincient protection to the town. We have call¬ ed tbese matters to Mr. Prlchard's at¬ tention and In all probability the proposition on flle will be withdrawn and a new proposition submitted, which will contain most. If not all, of the provisions outlined In the report made to us by our counsel, Mr. A T Davison.
"I have suggested that the leaae be prepared now, in final form and sub¬ mitted a.s the proposition to be voted on BO that the people may know ex¬ actly what thoy are passing on. This lease will be prepared in a few days.
"Our town lands will in the near future be very valuable and we do not wish this Iea.so In any way to Inter- fer with their future development.
"The matter should he given most careful attention by everybody."

ACCIDENTS.
What came near being a serious acci¬ dent, happened lo Mr. Joaeph Welraer, a prominent resident of Bellmore doing buslnesa in New York, Tuesday morn¬ ing of thla weels. Passing from the rail¬ road station to the First National Bank he waa struck by an auto while turning around a corner. FrlenOa carried him into the bank where he was cared for until Doctor Fletcher arrived who took hira home and Is giving him medical at¬ tendance.
- The editor of thla paper while cross¬ ing the street near the same spot nar¬ rowly escaped being run over by a run¬ away horae attached to a milk wagon.
Theae accidents call to our mind again the very aerloua accident that occurred on the Merrick road recenlly when In aome inexplicable manner three autoa filled with young people craahed to¬ gether, aerlously Injuring aeveral, and one young man, our eateemed fellow, townsman, Grover Paulson, waa killed. How the community mourn. How our hearta bleed with sympathy for the father and mother, the brothera and slater whose happy home waa so sud¬ denly plunged Into mourning.
These are only a few of the accrdente that have occurred recently. No money consideration would be adeiiuate for the suffering and losa ot life occaaloned, but Is It not the duty of every peraon who can to protect himself and frienda In these days of frequent accidents with an accident policy In aonf« reliable com¬ pany?
The editor ot thla paper haa Juat aecured auch a policy of the Roswell Davis Underwriting Agency and for the Information and. we truat, the beneflt of our readera dealres to tell you about it. It waa laaued by the London and Lancashire Accident Company In the sum of 14.600 and jcoat flC.OO a year; for loss of life or^certaln members of the body the company agree lo pay |4,50U: for loss of leaser members, $2,260; for these accidents under apeclflc conditions they agree to pay double these amounts. For total disability they agree to pay 116.00 weekly so long as I live. For partial disability. It is $7.60, not exceeding elx montha. There ia alao an allowance tor medical at¬ tendance, surgical beneflts and hoapltal Indemnity.
It ta the desire of The Nassau Post to aid every community In which It circu¬ lates by aiding each Individual, and while we are not advertising anyone's buainess we feci It our duty to our friends to speak ot this accident policy and It is for you. readera. to determine whether you will place your- aeir In a position so that tor a very BTiall coat yourself and friends will have the beneflt of auch a policy should acci¬ dent overtake you, which Is not Impos¬ sible, thouch we earaestly hope Improb¬ able.

: tlve offers of Christmas smokes, in the shape of Prince Albert cigars. He has some pure olive oil that would be just the thing for the Cliristmas salad.

You'll go there and stick around and your chest wiil swell with pride every time
, she points out the fruit basket and says tills is what HE gave me.
Why Not a Bit of Jewelry.
Miller has show cases just chuck ful of Christmas jewelry suggestions. You flnd something permanent In a jewelry Christmas gift. It's a keep¬ sake. It is something to be treasured and remembered throughout the year. Miller has some interesting offers in the two-page spread, and of course his 25-cent cigar cutter can hardly be called a keep-sake, but It is certainly a useful present. He offers a silver bar pin and a bangle bracelet.
