meeting date and final plans for our
1 Memorial Day ceremony will be an
nOunced, also the distribution of
Buddy POppies" will be made to
those members who will have
charge of placing them before the
public. Once again may we remind
all our friends that proceeds result
ing from the sale of Buddy POppies
must be used exclusively for well
fare work.
Three or four volunteers are
needed to go with the truck to Fort
Mott, N. j.. and help load and un-
load our 3-inch gun. A matter of
some importance concerning this
Post must he decided upon. all mem
bers are interested The Post has
authorized the organization of an
Auxiliary. it is now being formed.
Next Sunday, May 13. is Mothers
Day and every one fortunate enough
to have a mother living should send
her some flowers. box of candy. or
some suitable token of remembrance
on that day. and remember these
few lines:
when sickness Overtakes you
And all companions shake you
As through this world you wander
all alone.
When friends you haven't any
In your pocket not a penny
There's Mother always waiting
you at home"
Heavy Rains
The heavy rains of the past week
have OverflOwed the low lands and
will prohibit the low ground farmer
from planting corn for some weeks
to come, and we doubt If some of
the fields will be planted this season.
Glendale and vicinity had deluge
of water greater than ever seen here
before. Gardens, which had been
planted. were completely ruined. A
gentleman who had set his early to-
matO plants was compelled to pull
them up twice on account of the
flood. Now he has them bedded wait
ing for the sun to shine.
The streets of Glendale were
inundated to the extent that people
needed gum boots to get anywhere.
II looks to the writer that this
town needs drainage. or an epidemic
Of typhoid fever will break out on
account of stagnant water
The Ellendale Swamp is full of
water-lOok out for mosquitoes
here is work for the CCC boys to
drain the swamp.
Farmers Buying Lime
The farmers around Glendale
seem to be buying more lime than
for several years. Several cars have
been received and more is to come.
This would indicate that the dirt
farmers have more confidence in the
future market for produce than for
merly. and are getting ready to
grow peas. beans and tomatoes for
canning purposes in greater quanti-
ties then for several years.
The pickle factories will run and
those who have grown cucumbers in
former years say there is fair profit |
in growing this fruit for market.
We hope the farmers will not !
plant too much of any one crop. II !
they do. an over production will fol- /
low. which means low prices all !
around. Live and let live should pre-
vail at all times
If farmers will adhere to this their |
will be more prosperous
in the future.
Moved Away

ed Monday from the Lekites proper

J.. where Mr.. Williams has secured
a position.
We regret seeing young men COM
pelled to leave our town and to Sc
'ure employment at other places.
There should be enough pride about
hose who have money to build
some kind of an institution which
would give employment to our young
men at all times Perhaps what we
leed is for some men who have
wealth to settle here and who are
lot afraid to invest their money in
tome manufacturing which would
'ay fair profit.
