who have never attended a gather
ing Of this kind they have missed
something worthwhile.
The farmers and their wives who
assemble at the home of their neigh
Dor to aid him in preparing his
wood for future use generally make
frollc out of the undertaking. To
speak of the feast which always
takes place after the work is done,
is something worth talking about.
Think of a large country cured ham
baked to turn; a roast of beef ten
der and sweet; an old-fashioned
chicken pot-pie with its dumplings
and "yaller" gravy; potatoes, cab
bage and turnips in abundance.
Maryland beaten biscuit; yellow
pone bread and coffee. To be topped
off with huckleberry pie and lemon
custard-a feast certainly fit for a
king. Let me tell you that the far
mers and their wives generally did
full justice to a dinner of this kind.
Red Men Activities
The degree team of Ioka Tribe,
No. 35, trailed to the hunting
grounds of Indian River Tribe No.
81, located at Rehoboth, and ex-
planned in satisfactory manner to
the seven pale-faced candidates in
waiting the mysteries connected
with Redmanship.
After the adoption ceremonies
were over, long talks were given by
Great Sachem G. H. Hall, Great
Junior Sycamore S. H. Fisher, Col
D. H. Reed and others. Corn and
venisoR was served in abundance.
Those who saw the floor work OF
this team say it was about perfect
The ceremony of the presentation
of the American Flag by Ioka Tribe
No. 35 l. o. r. M. to the public
schools of Ellendale was consum-
ated on Friday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. Many people were present
from all the united districts.
Speakers for the occasion were
Rev. ]. A. Buckson, of Millsboro;
Col. d. H. Reed and J. H. Jester, of
Glendale. S. H. Fisher in a neat
speech presented the flag, which
was received in a like manner by
Professor Pagan, principal of the
school. The children sang "Ameri-
ca, and when the flag was raised
10 the top of the pole, they sang
"The Star-Spangled Banner" and
when Old Glory broke from its folds
and spread out to catch the west
erly breeze, hundreds of small flags
fell to the ground, to be caught up
by the school children present. 1t
was great day for Ellendale and
one long to be remembered.
The Red Men turned out in a
body.
Growing Interest in p. I. A.
Meetings
The p. T. A. held their February
meeting in the public school build
ing on Friday evening of last week.
These entertainments grow more
interesting as the several meetings
are held. The parents of the chill
dren are specially invited to attend
these gatherings so they can see how
much progress their children are
making.
Care of Cemetery
Red Mems Cemetery, owned and
controlled by Ioka Tribe, No. 35, is
nicely located for the purpose for
which it is intended.
The system in vogue is not to
make any charge for the general
cleaning of the grounds, but the
lot holders are compelled to keep
their plots in good condition-if
they wish them to be in proper
shape to meet the approval of the
public. Many don't do this, but al
low their lots to grow up in weeds
and grass. The writer thinks it
would be much better to charge all
lot holders a stated sum payable
yearly. This would enable this
Tribe to employ some one as a care
taker who would render to all who
own lots such services as would
keep this burying ground in first
class condition.
Some of our oldest citizens, such
as the TESTERS, Reeds, Clendaniel's,
red there.
Proud of Societies
Ellendale is proud of the three
fraternal organizations located here,
viz. Ioka Tribe, No. 35, 1. o. r. M;
Ellendale No. 80, Jr. o. U. A. M,
and Hiawatha Council, No. 6, D. of
p. All of these orders are doing
fine work both in gaining in mem
bership and administering to those
who are sick or in need of help.
The degree team of Ioka Tribe, No.
35, is considered one of the finest
within the reservation of the Great
Council of Delaware. It's equipment
is first-class in every respect, and
the floor work of this team receives
nothing but the highest commenda-
ton from all the tribes which they
have visited. Hiawatha No. 6, D. of
p, is composed of the ladies of Ell
lendale and vicinity. The degree
team of this order is in fine shape.
1t is up-to-date in every respect. If
you don't believe it, invite them to
visit you and you can see for your
selves.
The Jr. o. U. A. M. has no regular
organized team at present, but are
expecting in the near future to put
forth a team second to none. The
lodges located here are welding a
vast influence for good. Those who
live up to the teachings of the or
ders to which they belong must for
a certainty bring out of them the
very best, and raise them, both wo-
men and men, to that high standard
from which our best citizens are
made.

For several years our farmers
have been unable to raise a crop of
tomatoes at a profit. This condition
