Amos m Andy


The dialogue going on between
Amos m Andy seems to be the mos
interesting feature which the radi,
is sending forth today. The black
faced comedians seem to hold frs
place in the affections of the radio
fans and the public at large as well
The morning salute which neigh,
bors now greet each other is "diC
you hear Amos MA ndy last night p
wasn't it great?" No use to speal
,&anything else. The President may
speak. Gall Curl may sing, but it all
sinks into insignifcance when com.
pared with broadcasting of Amos n
Andy.
People grow very impatient in the
evenings waiting for the hour of Z
o'clock to come, and refuse to leave
their home for any purpose, until
WIZ or other stations broadcasts
the program of Amos n Andy. The
radio brings to the home many en-
jOyable things. Not only Amos N
Andy but others of similar nature
which helps to vile away many
lonesome hours.
The Americans are a peculiar and
restless people. They are constantly
clamoring for something that will
produce joy mid all seasons.
If the radio is to be the means of
giving to the public that pleasure
which they are entitled to and
should have-let everyone who can
afford it put radios in their homes.
"a little nonsense now and then,
Is relished by the best of men,"
Plant Your Garden
Those who have waited lowing to
cool weather) before planting their
gardens may be as early as those
who get in hurry every spring to
get their vegetables in the ground.
Those who planted their potatoes in
March say that they seem to have
done nothing in the way of sprout-
ing, but sometimes when they lay in
a dormant state too long they rot in
the ground. 1t is no use to be in such
a great hurry to plant. Nothing will
grow until the sun has enough pow
er to warm the ground.
Ties Are Removed At Last
The large quantities of ties which
were stored along the tracks of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, were remov-
ed Friday. The inspector was here
and culled them, and loaded the Dal-
ance and shipped them to the re-
ceiving plant of the company, where
they will be given coat of creosote
which prolongs their lasting quail
ties. The railroad grounds around
the depot look better. Now remove
the Gull ties and it will look better
still.
Forest Fire
The fire company was called out
Friday to help to extinguish for
est fire which extended over the
Ponder tract between Ellendale ana
Milton. The boys worked hard put
did not succeed in subduing the tre
until about two hundred acres had
been burned over.
Buying Fertilizer
Our farmers are buying large
quantities of lime and fertilizers
this spring. In spreading over their
fields, coating Of lime has a ten
dency to kill out sorrel and other
obnoxious weeds which produces
sourness in land, which prevent
Welding of a full crop. The farmers
are well ahead in preparing their
ground for the crops which are 10
follow. Soy beans which are now
grown extensively will be grown this
year in greater quantities then ever
before. Corn will be grown LOT
feeding purposes only, and wneat
can only be grown at loss. Our
farmers are turning their attention
to the growing of such crops as Will
yield a profit.
Firemen, Save That House
The Ellendale Fire Company owns
a piece of valuable property situated
ON the east side of the pennsylvania
Railroad and the south side OF Nam
street This is known as the d.
Samson property and also used later
for school purposes. The house for
want of repair is deprec1at1ng IN
value YEARLY. If the firemen wish to
save their property from further
loss it would be we'll to have IL
looked after at once and put in good
condition either for use Dy them-
selves or for rented purposes. A
stitch in time saves nine.
Biddies Chirping
The large amount of biddies being
received bv our farmers and poul-
trymen would seem to indicate that
the crop of broilers would De large
this spring. The parcel post ana ex,
nress companies are heavily loaded
with this kind of chickens almost
daily.
