bunch of twelve o'clock people in .
nine o'clock town. On Saturday, Feb
ruary the ninth, Ernest Maria and
Wilfred Parry gave . party and dance
at the Nascp's hall. That is written
on the social calendar in red, and VII
be remembered by all - one Of tie
best times Of their young lives. Em-
est and Wilfred, being some Of the
drafted men from this county, thot
they would give themselves and their
pals one good time before going to do
their bit. AS the invitations read
come early, and stay Late. people
took them as their word and began 70
arrive as early as Friday, and some
stayed until Monday. As we have no
train here, they came in sleds; and
to see, sled after sled with four hor-
ses pulling the loads of merry makers
into town.. was enough to make the
heart of stone Indian beat with joy.
First came q sled on Friday after
noon bringing in our old time friends
from Glenwood, the Gallos,-Joe and
Tony and from Carbopdale, Miss Hell
en- Cowels, Mrs. J. Brooks, and Miss
es Lucille and Irene Rhyme; from Red
stone, the Misses Vanderverter-Des-
sic, Zelma and Leota, Mr.. and Mrs.
H. Thode, Mr.. and Mrs. B. N. Howe,
Nesdames Walsh and Overstreet, Miss
Kearnes, Messrs Nichols, McLane, and
Clayton Robinette; from Placita, Mr..
and Mrs. Stronghold, Messrs. Rapina,
Todd, Hughes, Bross, Hudson and
uy>rAn-. 49, C-,~x~I n q U.l~
A. v. Carlson, and Private Chris Fal-
letti from Camp Funston. Wilfred,
Parry and Paul Wood came from their
ranches, and from the Holland ranch
Mr.. and Mrs. Flogas and Mrs. Stafford
came, and last but not least the entire
of Marble which il too
numerous to mention.
The dance opened promptly at eight
o'clock to the sweet strains of "Oh!
Johnny Oil" played by the Rhyan
sistetS orchestra Of Csrbondale. Al
twelve o'cloek supper was served In
IL library, where . dainty supper Of

BY THE time the sleds had begun
to draw up in front Of the hall and
it was with sad hearts we said good
bye to our friends. They all promised
to come back again when the war il
over and give Ernest and Wilfred .
dance, Of which they are deserving.
Here's hoping the war will soon Be

PAUL PRY's ELLENDALE
LETTER.


/ The extreme cold weather has been
I broken and for a week the days have
been sunny and much warmer, ana
now comes the problem of the roads,
which are in a dreadful condition.
Paul Pry" has not been able to get to
Milford this year and is becoming anx-
iOus for a sight of the old town and a
glimpse of familiar faces there. A
sure sign of approaching spring is the
sight of Contractor William Workman
on our streets. as he is looking after
the work on the new church, which he
is anxious to resume after two months
of delay.
Harvey Coverdale has sold one OF
his registered Holstein cows for 500
cash. We are sorry to see this fine
stock leave the town for it is a credit
to any community.
On several occasions we have tried
to set forth in our weekly letter to the
Chronicle the urgent need of a doctor
in our town. Glendale is a progress
sive little town of some four hundred
inhabitants with thickly settled coun-
try around il, and has no physician.
One man states that doctor may have
his nice home if only he would locate
here, and because of the scarcity of
homes, could not find a suitable one.
There are several individuals in the
town who constantly need the care
of a physician; one man had two chill
dren sick and for two days kept the
telephone busy until a doctor from a
nearby town could arrive, when he
found one i'll with pneumonia and the
other in an advanced stage of typhoid
fever, suffering for medical attention
for two days. Numerous accident cases
are always happening, such as when
Elsie, the ten year old daughter Of
Frank Millman fell on an axe and
badly cut her thumb and palm, with |
no doctor within eight miles, and
stormy day. Since DR.. Sanson's ill |
ness Glendale has needed a physician |
and needed one badly and at once.
Mr.. and Mrs. Abadee have returned |
to their home after spending the win
ter in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hahn, real estate dealer of |
was in town recently with |
some prospective buyers looking over
locations here.
Mrs. Robert Veasey has gone on a
visit to friends at BTOadkiln.
MIS-. Jennie warren, WIN ner III
lie daughter, from Frankford, are
guests of relatives here.
r. H. Moore. assistant railroad agent

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES,
in France, July 29.-(Noon)-The
first counter attack against the Amer

and Sergy, on a front of more than
Swo miles, east of Fere-en- Tardenois.
1t followed a severe bombardment of
the whole line, but was completely re-
pulsed, the Bocnes suffering severe
losses along the whole line. More
than three hundred German dead
were found piled in a narrow ditch
when the Americans resumed their
advance following the attack.
The biggest American advance
since the start of the Franco-Amer

through tangled underbrush, along

when asked how they cleaned up the
nests said:
when we rushed them we'd yell,
'Over the top, fellows, get 'em!' Then
we'd run forward firing That's ALL"
There were many additional prfs
