Decorating Streets and Homes

There is nothing finer than TO have
streets and homes decorated for the
vuletide season.
In the country districts ever
greens of various kinds are p!enui-
full and handy to get, but to get the
holly without injury tJ the trees
takes an expert trimmer.
Running cedar and turkey beard
are plentiful and laurel abOunds in
soihe forests. Take the four: Holly,
running cedar, turkey beard and lau-
red, interspered with electric bulbs
of different colOrs, will make fit dec
Orations for either churcn, streets or
home and the cost will be low.
We cannot but regret that so much
holly has been wasted in the past.
We can remember the time when
ElleDdale Swamp was full of molly
trees, but now it is getting scarce,
owing to lumber dealers purchasing
the logs for fine furniture and the
wantOn destruction by vandals. We
feel sure that enough holly trees
have been destroyed in the last fifty
years to have furnished the people
of Ellendale and vicinity enough
holly for wreath making for all time
TO come.
Ellendale Swamp with its remain
ing holly trees, makes a scene of
rare beauty during the summer sea-
son, but we understand that ties
passers are rObbing this fine piece
of forest land of its holly trees, and
if not stopped, holly trees will ne a
thing of the past.
Public Installation OF Officers

Soliciting Toys
A committee from Ioka Tribe, No.
S5, Is soliciting old toys and clothes
from any who wishes to donate
This is fine thing for the red men
Of Ellendale to do. Note, their in
tention is to give to the poor chill
dren of Glendale and vicinity, a
Christmas filled with more joys
han it would otherwise be, without
the aid of the humane committee
sent out by the members of this
tribe. If anyone in need, make your
wants known to any members of
his committee and they will surely
,e attended to.
Things to Know and DO
The Delaware Legislature has fin
lily adjourned. Playing petty poll
les at the expense of the taxpayer,
Ioesn't seem to be the right policy
0 pursue.
Turkeys are rOOsting high at the
present time. They are afraid of
he beheading season near at hand.
Christmas is near at hand-are
OH ready?
Think of the poor and be charit-
ble-those of you who are able to
i've.
Buckwheat and sausage these cold
inter mornings tastes very good
ut bad for those who have indiges-
ion.
Wreath makers are very busy at
he present time, making those pret-
Y decorations which make the home
1ok so fine during the Yuletide sea-
on.
