able to cope with the situation and
the beetle goes forward without
much hindrance. If the farmers of
Sussex County are awake to that
which will follow the advent of these
insects in regard to their crops, they
will try to find means to stop the
march of these pests.
1t seems to the writer that as
many chemists as we have in the
United States, there should be some
who could concoct a poison which
would destroy plague of this kind.
Oh, Those Women
The ladies of Glendale seem to be
doubly busy in crecheting and knit
ting baby sweaters and bootees for
firms located in New York and Phil
adelphia. The work becomes so fas-
cinating, and they become so absorb
ed in it, they fail to prepare the reg
ular meals at the proper time. Some
husbands are complaining of the
small amount served. If you hear of
any separations or application of di-
vorce, the reason will be manifest.
Favor a Bank at Glendale
The citizens of Glendale are very
much in favor of a bank or trust
company being located here. They
seem to think it would prove pay
ing investment from the the start.
1t does seem that towns near by
which support so many institutions
of this kind, that Glendale could af-
ford to have one.
Farmers Return From Tour
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles E. Reed of
Slaughter Neck who have been for
over a month in Florida, arrived
home last week. They made their
trim via steamer from Philadelphia,
taking their auto on the ship and
then motored to many places in
Florida. They speak in glowing
terms of many places they saw, but
vet the attraction was not such to to
wean them away from Delaware. Mr..
Reed is probably the most prosper
Gus farmer in northeastern Sussex
County.
Resident Physician Needed
Glendale offers fine opportunity
for a physician to locate. The near
est doctor is eight miles away. 1t is
difficult at times to get medical
treatment; in emergencies especial
ly. If a man well equipped from a
medical standpoint will come here
and open an office he will soon have
more than he can possibly do
Fire Near Glendale
Fire occurred last Thursday night
at the residence of George Cobaugh,
living about three miles west OF Ell
lendale. The fire caught from the
chimney, which also set the roof on
fire. Mr.. Cobaugh having tank OF
water on hand, kept the flames in
check until the arrival of the Ellen
dale and Milford Fire Companies,
who with their engines, soon sub
dued the fire. The damage was very
slight.
Take Over Dirt Roads
We notice that Governor Buck has
recommended that. the dirt roads of
the several counties in Delaware be
placed under the jurisdiction OF the
State Highway Department. This is
a step in the right direction. Thous-
and upon thousand of dollars have
been wasted by the Levy Courts of
Delaware in trying in the old way to
keep the dirt roads in passable
condition. Let the farmers and 9TH
ers write to their Senators and Rep
resentatives to vote for bill of this
kind when it comes before the leg
islature for enactment.
Buying r. r. Ties
The Pennsylvania Railroad is buy
ing lot of ties at Glendale. They
are made mostly of gum or maple,
and are creosoted before using them
in their roadbeds in different parts
of the country. The writer can re-
member when this railroad refused
