PAUL PRY'S GLENDALE
LETTER.

A terrible accident was narrowly
averted Saturday evening last at the
Queen Anne Railroad crossing near
the Stone home. AS Mr.. and Mrs.
James Porter and their two small
children were attempting to cross the
track, the wheel of their carriage
/ caught in the rails ana in attempting
! to pull the carriage from the track
4 the traces of the harness broke. The
horse ran away and left the family
/ stranded on the tracks. The train
rushed down upon them, but by a
miracle all OF them were able to get
out of the vehicle before the train
struck them. The carriage was
splintered, and the horse as it neared
home ran into a mail box and severe
ly cut its shoulder.
Judging from the number of auto
mobiles seen on the boulevard on
Sunday the slackers were out in
goodly numbers, and they failed to
obey the request of the fuel admins
tration in saving gasoline. The peo-
pie Of Glendale, as a general rule,
Obeyed the request.
Mrs. r. A. Wood is now on a busi-
ness trip to Philadelphia.
The price of tomatoes dropped this I
week as low as 35c per basket. This
is to be expected during the "glut" +
season, for the Gamers cannot handle
at that time all of the tomatoes which Z
are to be had They therefore buy
only what they need.

During that conversation no issue of

took place about two years before
the declaration of war between the
United States and Germany there
was no excuse for a discussion of our
country at that time and there was
none. Neither did Mr.. Tunnel at
that time or at any other time in my

farmers life is no sinecure at best. Long hours at hard labor, for which in the pest he received hardly enough to enable him to put little aside for rainy day, has been his compensation for contributing his share to the nation larder. The future, howe 7er. has in store golden opportunities for every farmer who will take advantage of them.
 Good dairy COWS, beet cattle, hogs and sheep are the farmers opportunity at the present time to maks more than bare living, and there is little or no reason why these can not be produt ed at profit. If dogs interefere with sheep raising as many farmers claim, the legislature will hearken to the combined voices of these farmers and enact laws that will protect them. Every farmer ould for his own benefit as we'll as from patriotic mo- tives, plan to make the coming year B banner one ill the production of meats and the usual grains and vegetables. This is the part each individual far. mer is asked to do as his share in help | ing to win the war.
