farming would go out of the bust
ness altogether-buti in this he wa
mistaken.
1t seems that those who hav'
been raising brOilers have doubled
their flocks, which goes to show a
the lower prices, there is yet some
money in the business. The buyers
are kept busy in handling the i'm
mense flocks which are ocered fol
sale and the trucks make daily
trips to the cities to remove the
stock being offered for sale.
Sussex county seems well adapt
ed, both by soil and climate, for
chicken farming and no doubt most
of the land of this section will be
devoted to poultry raising. There are
still hundreds of acres of land left
which can be bought at low price,
which would make splendid chicken
farms.
The End of the Carnival
Friday and Saturday were the
closing nights of the Glendale Fire
mems Carnival. Perhaps the carni-
val was not as much a success as
the boys would like. Yet hard times
are now existing and the people
have not the money to buy such
things as the carnival had to sell.
The parade of the firemen which
occurred on Tuesday evening was a
very creditable affair and thorough
ly enjoyed by those who witnessed
it.
The playing of the bands enliven-
ed the scene and made everything
pass off pleasantly.
The bed room suite, the principal
prize, was drawn by Mrs. Sara Ell
lingsworth of Milford.
Those who had the booths in
charge deserve much credit for the
manly and courteous way in which
they were handled.
Railroad Station, Glendale
We feel sure if the officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad could see the
weeds growing along the tracks
passing through Ellendale they
would have them cut.
Weeds which grow promiscuously
don't have a tendency to beautify
any space they occupy, but become
an eye sore to the passerby.
In the present case they are det-
to the looks of the town,
which generally the homes and
yards are kept neat and clean.
Cut the weeds.
