GLENDALE
Halloween


dressed in all kinds of comical cos
tunes will parade the streets of the
towns where they reside. They will
visit homes and tell the fortunes of
the inmates and do other stunts
which are permitted ON this partic-
ular night. Many towns will have
parades in which old and young will
join and headed by some brass band
will parade the streets of the town
making a scene which it is hard to
describe, but making a panorama
which will not be soon forgotten.
Every town should have these
Halloween parades in which old
and young can have a good time to-
gether.
A few years ago, u Halloween
parade was held in Glendale. The
people were enthused and took part
which made the parade such a sue
cess. The old forgot their aches and
pains and entered into the affair
with youthful vigor and the young
people had the time of their lives.
1t was a joyful occasion and at
tracted people from far and near. 1t
has never been repeated. Why? Be
cause the people want something
grander than can be secured from
the innocent fun produced by Hal
lowe'en parade.
PrOmiScuOuS Dumping
Farmers are complaining of that
class of citizens which dump their
trash, consisting of leaves, pots,
pans, parts of automobile and every
other kind of worthless stuff along
the highways, bitches and spelling
the looks of several pieces of forest
land which are very pretty and suit
able for the holding of picnics and
other social gatherings.
We hope the people of Glendale
are not guilty of dumping their re-
fuse on lands of others without ask
ing permission. There is much trash
being carted out and dumped which
could be burned on the premises
where accumulated; but to save
that trouble they carry it out and
dump it in places where it will be
an eye sore to passers-by, and an
inconvenience to those who own the
land, and sometimes they have to go
to the expense of removing such
stuff.
Some farmers are about tired of
being treated in this manner and
will put out notices warning people
not to dump on their land; if they
do, they must take what comes to
those who trespess on others land
without permission.
Harvesting Corn
The farmers are now busy huSk-
ing corn and putting it under shell
ter before the cold winds shall come
and retard their work. The crop OF
corn in this section will be. larger
than at first expected and 1t now
looks as if there would be an abun-
dance of the grain for all purposes.
Reports from the west indicate that
the corn crop in that section will be
the largest ever known, and so
cheap will it be that farmers and
others will use it for burning pur-
poses; it being cheaper than coal. !
Corn at eight dollars per ton and (
coal at the present price, it will be
economy to burn corn, which they |
are doing in some Of the western
cities to heat the public buildings !
situated in the districts where corn
is so plentiful.
Perhaps the time is not far dis
tant when the corn raisers of the
west can by feeding their corn to
growing stock make a living profit |
by so doing. We feel sure that the
farming industry at the present
time is at its lowest ebb, and soon
the farmers of the United States
will emerge from the depression and
go forward with flying colors.
Splendid Rains
The State of Delaware has been
very fortunate in securing such an
abundant amount of rain the past
week. 1t has put new life into the
growing crops and even crops what
farmers thought had passed aiding
have put forth new leaves and are
growing finely. Late potato patches
are looking fine and where the
vines were not killed by the drought
and frosts were delayed, the crop
will prove nearly normal. Wheat,
clover and other crops since the
rain, are showing a fine growth and
will be able to have strength suffi-
cient to pass safely through the
winter season. The farmers of New
Castle county are rejoicing because
the copious rains have been the
means of the springs rising and will
afford them a supply of water in
their wells. We understand that
some of the farmers have been COM
PEELED to haul water for family use
and their stock from distant points.
Turnip patches in Sussex which
looked so bad on account of the
drought have made wonderful
growth and those who are fond Of a
dish of turnip greens and hogs jowl
will be able to have their wants
