GLENDALE
Glendale Club

ne regular SlitefS VINO attend The
nightly sessions of the club, have
been much exercised the past week
over what was supposed to be coun-
terfeit twenty-five cent pieces being
passed on the storekeepars and
others of the town.
The club had the matter before
them for several nights and finally
concluded that a band of counter
feiters were at work in some nearby
town and We were being flooded
with the spurious coins.
One member argued that the coins
seemed good, only they had no date
on them, and the government never
issued any money without having a
4 date affixed upon their face. The
' member was right, but there is such
things as the date being worn off.
Another member having heard
that the government through the
banks would call these coins in hav-
ing forgotten to date them, had col
lected a number of them, and was
holding them for a premium.
The matter was finally settled by
a lady taking one of the coins in
question to the First National Bank
and Trust Company of Milford
where an assistant told her the
piece of money was perfectly good
and showed her many more of the
same kind, only as he said, the dates
had been worn off.
The information which she
brought back from the bank seems
to settle the matter, and the club
will have to hunt for another story,
to occupy their time, which it seems
will not be hard to do.
The Growing OF Alfalfa
1t is a great wonder why more
farmers of Sussex county don't |
grow more of alfalfa clover than is |
now being done.
The land in certain portions of |
Sussex is we'll adapted in raising |
so much to the farmers in feeding |
their stock. In the two upper cOun-
ties, Kent and New Castle, the far
mers would not be able to get along
in a successful way without grow
ing this crop. 1t is true it takes
good land to grow this crop sue
cessfully and to be able to cut it as
much as three times each season
makes it a cheap and abundant crop
to grow.
Let us hope that the future will
show that the farmers in the lower
part of the State will grow more !
and more fields of this clover. L
Button Factory ReOpened
The button factory which had
been closed since the Christmas hOl-
idays has commenced this week to
cut buttons again.
We understand it will now run
five days of each week until further
orders.
This will be fine news for the
young men who work in this fac
tory as it will mean something COM
ing in which will keep the wolf
from the door. f
The Secret Solved S
In these days when the fast life !
seems to prevail it is refreshing to d
gather from the columns of the p
press a story that would in meas S
Ire, if carried out, help the unrest s
now prevailing among young mar
led couples and cause them to be a
more contented with their home life. d
Divorces would be few, and the C
courts of our State and other states a
would not be kept busy by people
jeeking a dissolution of the mar n
'iage ties. Here is the story, read il
