GLENDALE

/ On Tuesday morning about one o.
clock, terror broke loose in Glendale,
and every man and woman was awak-
ened, and many so badly scared they
ran panic stricken to the streets to
find the great CONSERVATION was
caused by the Milford Fire Company.
Their engine and bells were making
a hair-raising noise, such as our quiet
town never heard before. The frantic
firemen went thru our street, so quick
ly on its fight to the Lewes fire that
no one could get out of bed, in time
to investigate the cause of the alarm.
Many were the suggestions, and the
conclusion was a hundred air ships
flew by. The real truth was not learn
ed until later in the day, when the
fire truck returned.
1t seems that everybody about here
has a mania for public sales. The
Chronicle is so full of them, it fiddles
the mind, but the sales are well at
tended. Last week at the sale of Joe
Carey near Milton the premises were
so crowded, it was difficult to get thru
the jam. So dense was the throng that
half the people could not hear the
auctioneer, especially Jim Jester who
yelled himself hoarse. The sale of
Ray Tucker this week in Nanticoke
brought just as large crowd. Why is
this? Is it because the Chronicle car
ries the news everywhere, or what.
The people are not anxious to buy, for
at these big sales, goods are almost
sacrificed for nothing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crow who have long
been among our most highly honored
citizens, and who recently returned
from a business trip to India, will
move to Harrington where they have
purchased the house, store and fixtures
of the White Cloud restaurant. Their
absence is a great loss to Ellendale,
and much regretted, but it is Harring-
toms good fortune.
Curtis Millman will continue to oc-
cupy the Crow home, which they have
given up to go to Harrington.
We are requested to state in this
letter that the young people of Ellen
dale will give a church social in
Whites Hall, this Friday night, the
10th. This is to be an elaborate affair,
and for a church benefit. Great prep
aration has been made for its sue
cess, ad all who wish fine social en-
are requested to be pres
ent.
Peter Nicklson with his large fam
lily moved from Norristown, Pa, to
the farm known as the ex-Postmaster
Good Farm, which he recently pur-
chased of w. S. Dickerson.
Bob NAPLES has the frame up for
a new addition to his cosy little home
near town.
Our people are active in the holly !
wreath business, but without berries,
as there are no berries to be found.

NEW YORK. Nov. s.--The worlds
heavyweight championship battle be-
tween Jack Dempsey. champion. and
Georges Carpenter, OF France. chal-
lenger. will be held near New York
within the United States. 1t was de-
clared here today by Charles B.
Cochran, British promoter. who, with
William A. Brady and Tex Richard,
will stage the bout. A complete
arena to accommodate 100000 per-
sons will be constructed somewhere
in the metropolitan district and the
bout will take place about July 4.
Cochran said.
Failure OF Cuban promoters to car
ry out agreements in regard to
financing the bout in Cuba, Cochran
said. had caused the promoters to
change the location for the go. AL
though New York fans have never
believed the bout would be held any
place but New York.
Admission prices to the arena will
be made as low as possible, said
Cochran. probably ranging from IS
to $50.
Neither Richard nor Brady supple

NOTRE DAME DENIES ANY
HARVARD GAME IN 1921
No Penn State Meeting This
Year Even, Says Rockne.

NOTRE DAME. Nov. S.-Reports
from the East that negotiations have
been opened between Notre Dame and
Harvard for a 1921 football game
were denied by Coach Rockpe tonight.
Rochne declared that no action has
been taken on next years schedule.
He also put a quietus on the rumor
that Notre Dame and Penn State will
play a post-season game for the
championship OF the United states,
provided both teams win their re-
naming games.
There Is a persistent whisper In
New York newspaper circles that a
Notre Dame-Harvard game will sup
plant the annual International Notre
Dame-Army game next season. Notre
Dame has defeated the Cadets in I'VE
OF the seven games played between
the two teams. and another meeting
will arouse little interest In the East.
II Is believed.
The Notre Dame faculty turned
down q game with Harvard this fall
on the basis that football athletes
have other duties than riding in Pull
man cars. Notre Danes growing
popularity in the East, however, al
most demands a game with one of the
so-called Big Three.

ARE ALWAYS STRONG.
The service elevens are always
strong, but they are not always as
capable in November as they should
be. In recent years this he's been
blamed largely upon poor schedules
rather than upon their coaching or
their personnel. Barring one thing,
the failure to tumble q greasy ball,
the Army-Navy game in New York
last year was the worst imaginable.
We were there. We kicked more
than once during that long. rainy
afternoon that we had not gone on
to Boston to witness the Boston Col
lege Georgetown game, which offered
Infinitely more fotball to the square
inch.
The new scheme. though. may make
the annual service game worth see

With the Middies tackling Princeton.
Penn and Georgetown in one season,
while the Cadets are battling Col
umbia, Notre Dame. and Yale, that
last stirring contest at the Polo
Grounds in New York would take on
much OF q championship tinge.
The only other one common sense
thing to do Is to permit both academ.
les to charge admissions to their
home games. This would take the
burden from the shoulders OF men
hardly able to carry IT.
