others.
This man who had passed the four
score and five year mark, was seen
by a neighbor with his coat and hat
off digging holes and planting apple
trees.
Of course the neighbor was aston
ished and approaching the aged man
asked him the question: "Do you
ever expect to gather or eat the
fruit which the trees you are plant
ing may producer" "No, sir" re-
piled the Octogenarian, 81 do not,
but, back in the years which are
gone, someone planted apple trees
for me, and 1 will try to do as much
for those who shall live in the fu-
ture as those who have passed away
did for me-"
What a beautiful lesson is here
unfolded? If the voters of Ellendale
will think wisely and deeply on the
question, which is to be settled next
Saturday, taking in consideration,
the future as well as the present
letting the best there is in us be the
factor which shall control our ac-
tions on Saturday. we believe the
vote for issuing the contemplated
bonds will be almost unanimous.
We hope so.
Business Opening For Some One
There is a grand opening here for
a poultryman to locate a plant for
the Matching of baby chickens for
commercial purposes. While we have
ouite a few chicken farmers in this
vicinity, very few, if any, hatch
enough chicks to supply their wants
and have to send to other points.
Broilers are in such demand that
we feel sure, that the first to locate
will reap fine income from the in
vestment.

Ellendale charge will be held in the

The lot surrounding the parson-
age has been enclosed by the erec-
ton of a new wire fence, the past
week. This is an improvement badly
needed for sometime. If the special
committee will now wreck the old
barn and build neat garage 1t will
add much to the looks of the pas
tors home.
