Glendale

1t is strange that town the SIZE
IS of Glendale can't have regular
correspondent. Not since the days Oi
Paul Pry," has the weekly letter
appeared regularly in the "ChrOn-
icle." Paul Pry" welded a trench
ant pen some times dipped in worm
wood and gall and mostly that which
he wrote was fiction, yet he was a
neWsgather who had the tact to
make his items attractive and inter-
esting to all. We need a writer who
will truthfully chronicle events hap
pening in our town and vicinity; who
will avoid scandal; for a scandal
mOnger is a curse to any town. Such
a writer could be of inestimable
value to this neighborhoOd. The
present writer who is temporarily on
the job will gladly lay down the pen.
Who will be the first to step for
ward and assume the role?
The needs of Ellendale are varied
and many. That which is most need
ed is for more industries to settle
here, giving employment to many
and bringing greater prosperity to
our town. A mill to manufacture
butter trays, plates, spoons and
other small articles, which could be
made cheaply from the small timber
of which we have an abundance.
There could be added to the output
crates. baskets etc. We need some
thing of the kind which will give
employment each working day of the
wear. We have a mill here that does
custom saving and makes crates
and baskets. There is plenty room
for more. Who will be the first to
reap the golden harvest?
