Some young men visited this vi
cinity last Friday in search OF Jap
anese beetles. Everyone knows thaI
these beetles are very destructive
and we hope that there will be dls-
covered some means or way py
which these pests may be exterml-
mated. These boys had their lun-
ches with them. They went up to
farm house to get pitcher OF water
after which they sat down on the
grass and ate very enjoyable meal
The wheat thresher has arrived,
but the wheat is too wet to De
threshed.
Monday was a very rainy day. we
had an electric storm early IN the
morning. In fact, we had several
other such storms throughout the
day. We are certainly hoping that
the weather will be cooler this week
than it was last week.
Blackberries are practically oV-
er. They have been quite cheap our
ing the entire season.
How about our new school--are
we going to miss this great oppor-
tunity? 1t is impossible to say just
what will be done, but we know that
Ellendale must have new school,
Our children deserve as many ad-
vantages as a city child. Under the
nresent conditions our children S
advantages are very limited, indeed
We can not expect them to grow up
tn he ideal men and women unless
thew are in a position to acquire d
Good education. Education means
much more than "book knowledge
This is only very slight part OIL a
truly worthwhile school. A cnliu
NAV read book after book Dut lnls
does him very little good unless ne
is able to apply what he learns 10
every day life. 1t is often said mat
a farmer does not need college ed
ucation. This has proven to be q
great mistake. The farmer must
Know his trade as well as a lawyer
knows his. -
