When people once learn OF the great
things which this favored land pos
sesses. they will at once want to be
in tbe front ranks with those who
helieve that the future will show
that those who purchase these fer
tile lands have secured something of
great value, which will enhance in
worth as the years come and go. Can
YOU imagine anything finer than for
those who have reached the evening
of life to have a home in The coun-
try where they can get away from
the noise and hustle of city life and
enjoy the beauties and health giving
air which the rural districts have in
store for all of those who will come.
Here they can engage in truck farm
ing and chicken raising and not on
ly get health but support as we'll.
We are glad to note that several
of the counties of Maryland are COM
ing forward with contributions and
promised help. We believe that many
more will fall in and increase the
ranks until more than enough mon
ey asked for will be given.

those who engage in its exploitation
will have no apologies to make. The
lands when once seen will sell with
ont the aid of any brass bands or
Twin Dixie Auctioneers to promote
their sale. We wish to say that the
lands in the vicinity of Ellendale
are of that kind which will yield
good crops of truck or fruit and are
so situated that they are ideal spots
for chicken farming.
It was refreshing to hear the
Jingle of sleigh bells once more.
Those of our people who had sleighs
had grand sport during the time the
snow was on the ground last week.
The highway through the town was
in fine condition, and those who en-
joy the pleasure of gliding swiftly
over the beautiful snow had the time
of their lives. The boys with their
coasters were in evidence and seem
to enjoy every minute the snow re-
manned with us.
