Be Kind 20 Animals
Many organizations are being in.
stituted in several parts OF the
country to teach people to be kind ia
animals and not abuse them. Chill
dren should be taught in their
homes and in the public schools not
to be unkind to the animals in which
they come into daily contact with
and TO be willing to feed them, and
care for them in time OF need.
The men and boys of Glendale are
not any more than men and boys
from other places, and perhaps many
things which they do is done with
out serious thought Of the cOnse-
quences which follows. We have
seen men strike horses or mules on
the head with club for refusing to
pull a load which was entirely too
heavy for them. leaving markks and

and others who have teams with
crippled legs and sore shoulders,
and expect from such animals a full
days work-their suffering while
trying to perform such labor must
be extreme. Men of this class should
be punished and their teams taken
from them, and If not durable they
should be put out of their misery
through the medium of the rife or
chloroform. Boys have a tendency
to throw stones at every dog or cat
which passes them. Their aim is
often times true and the consequence
is dog or cat with a broken leg
or badly bruised body. which ii will

Fire Towers
The several fire towers situated
In several parts of Sussex County
have proved their usefulness the past
season. The watchmen have detect
ed and saed many forests of being
damaged by notifying the nearest
fire company. The tower on the
boulevard between Glendale and
Milton has been prompt in reporting
fires hT the. forests as we'll as fires
of houses and barns which occurred
many miles away. The towerman is
very alert.
Buying Biddles
Many of our citizens are buying
biddies in large quantities. 1t now

chicken is a dish enjoyed by most
people.
