New England farm land is beckoning

harassed by devastating duststorms.
Numerous farms, especially near
New York and other large cities, de-

Industrious families whose dwin-

the necessaries of life.

had been an increase of more than

There were shoes and clothing
which, Mrs. Longears said, her
children no longer could wear.

THE FALL OPENING

Ell Centre has something to look for

with the date of the annual Fall Open
ing Festival set for October l9.
For several years past this event has
been the high spot in the fall months
marking the start of intensive activity
in mercantile lines for the fall and Win

Former Fall Openings have attracted
considerable attention from all parts of
the valley and have been the incentive for
numerous visitors and shoppers to this
city. From the experience gained through
them a new plan is to D tried this year,
with a display of exhibits placed on Main
street instead of being paraded through
the business section. This latter plan was
followed last year with the complaint
frequently being heard that everything
was over before the average spectator
had chance to look things over as much
as he wished.
The new plan will give all better
opportunity to see the displays and will
be better for the merchants and business
houses as well. The parade, always one

heavy toll in life and property.
Dispatches from the devastated area

two states have too much in common for
one to gloat over the misfortunes of the
other.

places which they know are in the path
of frequent and violent storms. The an

Florida has been sorely stricken by

despite terrific handicaps from an angry

know enough about it to appreciate the
