GLENDALE

/ We are at a loss to understand what is
the matter with the people of Robbins.
! II appears as though the letter from that
town has been making itself most con-
Spicuous in its attempt to spread false
rumors concerning some of Ellendale's
citizens. Last week they informed us of
a supposed kidnapping in Ellendale.
! which needless to say is a false state
ment probably meant as Joke. It is to
( be hoped that the next time they attempt
: to crack Joke, they will get some basis
on which to start.
/ Mr.. and Mrs. .Abadee and Mr.. and Mrs
Robert Elliott made an automobile trip
to Philadelphia last week where thev
spent few days, They were much i'm
pressed with the agricultural country
through which they passed in the north
ern part of the state. They also state
that they are much surprised that the
general cry from the farmers that thev
are making no money. They claim
that the indications upstate pointed to
the fact that the farmers were more than
prosperous.
Quite a crop of late tomatoes are now
coming on and the farmers are now pick.
ing them. The tomatoes are being
hauled to Lincoln as no buyers are To-
Gated at Ellendale. 1t is a shame that no
buyers are located in this town. for the
farmers here would grow more tomatoes
If they were assured of a ready market
for them without being compelled to haul
them several miles to other towns
The young society folks of Ellendale
are enjoying their moonlight evenings in
a social and entertaining spirit. Tuesday

suit. On Friday evening of last week
the home of Mr.. and Mrs Robert Vessey
was thrown open to the social life of the (
young and the old, and very pleasant /
time was enjoyed by all who were pres.

ovEEREsT COIN ON EARTH
Horseshoe Shaped and Used by Ne
lives Of West Africa-valued
by Collectors.

Among the strangest coins in tho
world are those used in certain out-of-
the-way towns and villages in south
west Nigeria, on the west coast Of
Africa, and called "manillas.' In
shape they resemble horseshoe with
the two extremities fattened out ike
camel's foot. Being made Of solid
copper, three-eighths Of an inch thick,
they weigh over eight ounces ,ach.
In face value" seven Of these queer
coins are equivalent to rs cents. so
that one dollars worth would be an
uncomfortably heavy load.
Not only are these "manillas" used
among the natives, but white traders
accept them as legal tender for goods
sold at the various stores. AT one
time this strangely shaped money had
quite q large circulation in certain
parts of the coast, but its use is now
restricted to few bush towns and
one or two of the smaller seaboard
places. including Bonny, Brass and
Akassa. "Manillas" are very difficult
to obtain, and curio collectors value
them not solely by reason of their
scarcity. but because of the novel
serviette rings they make when silver
plated.-Wide World Magazine. :

Outdoor odors.

Lafcadio Hearn describes smelling
party in Japan, ut which the guests
undertake to name large number
of scents by smelling the burning in
cense sticks. Here is an effort in the
land Of outdoor odors to develop the
sense of smell along with the sensi-
tiveness Of the other faculties of
sense. How important is the sense of
smell when one walks amid the path
ways and avenues of the wide open!
What an added delight If one is able
to detach the more pregnant from the
multifarious elements of incense Of
the flowers and trees and vegetation
In general. This should be a power
commensurate with that of the trained
musician to detect the quality of in.
strumentation Of every player in an
orchestra. It should, in fact, be a
mark Of culture. But it is not 50. Yet
the absence Of trained powers OF
smelling does not prevent enjoyment,
even II it denies discrimination In the
enjoyment Of the odorous out-of-
doors. The magnificent gardens OF
nature are regal in color, but they
are regal as we'll in perfume.

POSSESSED SENSE Of. HuMoR
Proof That the Famous Duke Of Wei.
lInoton Could Unbend on
Occasions.

Wellington is usually credited with
insensibility to fun, but he seems to
have answered fool according to his
folly in this pleasant story:
The first organ upon which l tried
to play stood under the north arch
Of the chancel OF st. Stephens church,
and before 1t was purchased for tho
church had been the property Of Lord
Mornington. the professor Of music in
Dublin university, and Of the still more
famous Arthur Wellesley, afterwards
duke Of Wellington. When . subscrtp-
ton was being raised in order to 70
move the organ to the east end, one
Of the church wardens. by name
Stephen Seed. an excellent man, gifted
with a somewhat ludicrous!y ornate
style of epistolary correspondence, be-
thought him Of addressing letter In
his best English to the duke, In tho
hopes Of getting a substantial con-
tribution. After reminding him that tho
organ had once belonged to his lament
Cd father, he added that your Grace's
own famous fingers may not infrequent-
ly have wandered over the keys" The
duke was not to be drawn, but an
swered with his own hand, AZ he al
ways did. somewhat in these character
istically laconic terms: IF. NJ. The
duke of Wellington presents his COM
pliments to Mr.. Seed, and begs to say
that If he ever played upon the organ
In question, it must have been when he
was quite an infant"

How to Lessen Hardness.

riety of good ideas for public schools.
A teacher in Los Angeles, Cal, tells
as follows how hardness is lessened
in the schools of that city:
"A winning method of dealing with
hardness is used in the grammar
schools of Los Angeles, Cal. Iron
sockets which securely hold Flagstaff
have been placed beside each school
room door, and every morning after
the tardy bell has rung every room
free from hardness places its flag
outside the door, so that all who run
may read Bereft indeed do the small

GERMANS MAKE FEROCIOUs
ATTACK IN THE WEST.

The Allies, who have been on the
offensive for several weeks, were sud-
denly confronted by the Germans at
several points in the west and in many
places along the battle line, are on the
defensive. The Germans are fighting
like mad and the Allies are said tobe
in grave danger at some points.
Emperor William is on his way to
the western battle line, having recov-
cred from his recent severe cold.
A terrific battle is in progress 80
miles west Of Warsaw. The Russians
are threatening Germany from the
north and by fianking movement are
placing the main army Of Marshall
Won Hindenberg in grave danger.

Glenburn Advonce: Last spring one
of the Minot bankers distributed fifty
registered sows to farmer boys trib-
utary to Minot with the privilege Of
returning same in the fall without
charge. Don Baker received one Of
these sows and from her got seven
pigs. OF these he sold two boars for
$4,000, a sow for $4,000, and still has
four left, three Of which he intends to
keep. Don was also in on the wheat
contest and from one acre received
over 20 bushels Of Marquis wheat.
These contests conducted by the Bet
ter Farming Association are demon
strating what can be accomplished in
this locality in the line Of stock rails
ing as well as grain.
