WONDERFUL FAMILY RECORD.

John Hepner, of Reading, was born
i'll Germany in 1915. In 1910 he mar
ried. His wife lived eight years and
bore him seventeen children. She pre-
sented him with twins in the first year
of their marriage. The next year anoth-
er pair of twins was born. Every year
for four years thereafter Mrs. Hepner
gave birth to triplets. The seventh year
was signalized by the birth of only one
child to the couple. Mr.. Hepncr's sew
enteen children-the oldest one Z years
of age, were taken in charge three
months after Mrs. Hepner's death by
young German lady, who became the
second Mrs. Hepner. The first Mrs
Hepner died in February, 1913. In Feb
ruary, 1S49, her successor presented Mr..
Hepner with boy. On Christmas day
of the same year the nineteenth child
was added to the Hepner flock. Once a
year for five years afterward the family
was increased by twins, and for three
years after that one child year was
born to Mr. Hepner The last three
were born in this country, Mr. Hepner
having emigrated from Germany in
1854. In 1857 his wife died, having
been married nine years. OF the thirty
two children that had been born to Hep
ner twelve had died. In 1858 he mar
ried a widow with one child. The third
wife bore him nine childen in ten years
by single births. Mr.. Hepner and his
last wife are still liying.-Rcading (Pa)

Worthy of Emulation

EDITORS News: As previously an
nounced, the festival for the benefit of
the sufferers in the western counties of
our state came off on Friday evening,
July %, in district No %, near Wells
Ford. 1t was held under the direction
of the Sab oath school established at this
place. a large crowd was present and
the Refreshments were all disposed of, and
the net proceeds amounting to $500
were ordered sent to the state central re-
lief committee at Topeka. The amount
within itself seems small, but the seven
ty-tive or eighty other districts of Lyon
county would do as much, or half as
much, any one can see that Il large sum
would be raised, sufficient to do much
good. Now, if the other counties east
from Lyon would take up this good
work, surely there would be no need of
asking aid from other states. There is a
question with some as to whether we
should help the sufferers or not But
state pride and faith in our state should
prompt us to make the necessary eXer-
ton, if nothing else, Tor we know from
past experience that other states will be
called for if we fail. We should, there
fore, remember that the many little
amounts that can be collected IN this or
some similar way, will, when thrown
together, make n large sum, and will not
be felt by those contributing it. P.

This appeal to the city fathers indi
Gates pretty thoroughly the drift of
popular sentiment on this question. and
very decidedly reflects the views of those
most interested in the result of the pro-
posed measure. 1t is very evident that
the council have acted in this matter
purely upon their own motion, and that
in so doing they have antagoniZed the
wishes of almost every man IN the city
