GLENDALE HAPPENINGS
Armlstice Day

@AAAAotACC Ouy
People will not soon forget the
gladness that pervaded American
hearts when the news was broad
casted, that an Armistice had been
signed between the Allies and the
Central Powers, November IL, 1918
The World War, the cruelest ever
known had been going on for sever
al years and when the time came
when Germany with her allies could
fight no longer, this great nation
sued for peace and the Armistice
was signed which meant so much to
the America people and to those ma
tions across the sea.
Many of our young men gave their
lives for the defense of the flag and
their bodies now repose in ceme-
teries or other places in foreign
lands. We shall hold in grateful re-
membrance the sacrifice they made,
that the governments of the world
should he made safe for democracy.
Glendale gave one of its young
men who was wounded and died in
a hospital away from his young wife
and relatives. Raymond Reynolds
memory will ever be held sacred
and the deeds which he did in de-
fense of the flag will never be for
gotten by a grateful people.
Thousands gave their lives for the
same purpose, and the pilgrimage
each year of mothers who lost sons
in the great conflict will be carried
on until they are unable to visit the
graves of their sons which lie be-
yond the sea.
Let us hope we have seen the last
of any war between the nations of
the world, and also let us hope that
peace which has come to our coun-
try may never be disturbed and the
beat of drums and clash of arms are
forever stilled in our midst.
A young man who was engaged in
several conflicts said that when the
news arrived that an Armistice had
been signed by both the Allied and
Central Powers and they were Or
dered to cease firing, men rushed to
each other and clasping hands,
broke out in the good old song:-
Home, Home, Sweet Home" For
they knew that soon they would sail
for that land which held their loved
ones, the United States of America.
School Auditorium
The State Board of Education has
informed the local board of commits
sioners that any person or persons
shall before the occupying of the
auditorium for any purpose, shall
first receive a written permit from
the State Board of Education. We
understand that the people of Ell
lendale and vicinity bought and fur
nished the auditorium, without any
expense to the State Board whatev-
er. We think it is right that those
occupying the auditorium should
pay for the lights and water used,
but to put the people of Ellendale
to the trouble of first getting the
consent of the State Board seems |
very unreasonable. What is the To-
cal board of commissioners for? Are |
they not competent to judge who |
can be permitted to occupy the au-
ditorium? AS most of the gatherings |
there are for church purposes, the |
people should not be compelled to |
seek the consent of other powers
outside of the local board. We hope |
the State Board can see their way !
clear to abrocate this order and |
leave the matter entirely in the
hands of the local commissioners.
Rabbits And Quail
Reports coming from some parts
OF the State say that rabbits are
very scarce this year. In converse
tion with one of our sportsmen, he
informed the writer that rabbits and
quail were very plentiful in this
section, and that the sportsmen
would have plenty of fun after the
open season arrived. If there was
some way of keeping the hound
dogs chained and not allow them to
chase and kill young rabbits people
in this section would have more
than plenty of them. The State war
dens don't seem to look after those
sections which allow their dogs to
run at large-the killing of young
rabbits and quail during the closed
is a great wonder there
are so many left. If dogs could be
chained throughout the closed sea-
son and not permitted to run at
large, there would be an abundance
of both rabbits and quail, enough to
satisfy those spoTtsmen who love to
gun for the fun there is in it.
Hogs Dying
James H. Donovan lost last week |
one of his largest hogs and it is sup
posed to have had the cholera. This
hog, we understand, had been inocu-
lated and should have been immune {
rom the dread disease, cholera,
which has been so destructive to the
hogs in this community of late
Years. We hope some other disease
outside of cholera was the cause of
he death of Mr.. DOnovan's hog. If
t was a true case of hog cholera,
hen the farmers and others who
have hogs are not safe even if their J
hogs have been inoculGted with the
cholera serum.
MiSchieVOus Boys
A set of boys has for the past few !
lays been writing with white chalk !
IN the cement pavements of Main >
street and other streets of the town,
lsing obscene language and making !
,bsene characters to convey their !
ilthy meaning. These boys should '
De apprehendeG and their parents \
old of their misdeeds and if they L
will not punish them then the town
'oard should proceed to punish
