fine farm Of 800 acres. He has
strong faith in the future Of the Jim

A FRlaHTFUL AccIDENT.-Last
Saturday while Ed. Bond was at
work on his farm near this city he
met with an accident which resulted
in the loss Of valuable horse and
came very near losing his own life.
He had four horses hitched to disc
pulverizer, one Of them being a wild
western horse, and the team started
to run away. Mr.. Bond was drag
ged down on the tongue and by hard
work managed to keep from going
under the pulverizer. He finally
stopped the runaways, but not until
one Of the rear horses was thrown
down and its leg cut off by the
sharp discs, which necessitated its
being knocked in the head. It was
close call and Mr.. Bond was for
tunate to escape with his life.

WRIGHT TOWNSHIP,

Editor Of Oakcs Republican.
Farmers are getting quite anxious
to;get at seeding, but don't seem to
be able to hurry the weather any. l
think most of the farmers in this
town have their seed grain or are in
position to procure it without coun-
ty aid. Perhaps two or three may
wish to get it in that way, but it
would seem that the action Of the
county board was such that those
needing help the most would be un-
able to get it.
Miss Anna Robertson has COM
menced three months term of
school in this town.
Mr.. John Fort taught the winter
school, closing last week, andis now
getting ready to begin farming on
his account, having filed on a claim
last fall. We are glad to see the
young men getting farms Of thei,
own, as the future Of the country
depends more on their energy and
enterprise than on the older ones
who must soon drop off the stage Of
action.
Hay was supposed to bs scarce
article in this vicinity last fall, bu
now there seems to be plenty t.
spare, farmers generally having
| wintered their stock on straw ant
kept what hay they had for spring.
A. E. Bowen expects to move OF
his homestead in James River Val
ley township as soon as he is through
seeding on his old place.
Mr.. R. R. Carter is expected bacl
soon from his winters sojourn will
his family in Pennsylvania, but a
he has let his land it is\ doubtful
he stays with us long. VALLEY.

all the phenomena produced by magic

Good Sponges Cost Money.

Charles Wood has for many years
purchased sponges for drug firm OF
Boston. Talking of the article the other
day he said:
Good sponges have become SO ex-
pensive that they are luxury to be en-
joyed only by those well to do. Oh
course you can buy reef sponge
cheap, small one costing only few
cents; but if you want a Turkey cup
sponge large enough for bathing pur-
poses you will have to pay 81 or $5.
Sponges come all sizes; the largest one
| ever saw measured twenty inches
across. These very large sponges are
apt not to be perfect, and they do not
bring as good prices as smaller and
more perfect ones. The largest of the
perfect kind measures about fourteen
inches across the top and nine inches
through, such sponge being worth
about 500. 1t is too large for bathing
purposes, and too expensive to be used
in washing carriages, and is kept by
dealers for chance customer. A good
size bathing sponge is about eight
inches across the top and five through,
and is worth S..
THE expensive sponges are bought
principally by physicians and dentists,
and are used much in administering
ether. There are very many people
who cannot tell the difference between
Turkey cups and common reef
sponges, and they are astounded at the
difference in price. They are asked So
for what they think they can get just
as good for % cents. There are sponges
from Florida called sleeps wool, which,
in the opinion of many buyers, are as
good, although much cheaper for all
practical purposes as the silk ones.
They are used mainly for washing car
riages, although they make a good
bathing sponge. Reef sponges come
from Cuoa and Nassau, turkey cups
from around islands of the archipelago.
Sleeps wool and reef sponges come in
1920, and 40 pound bales, and the
finest of the former, known as Rock
Island goods, sell wholesale at from
$3.50 to So. 15 per pound. The Turkey
cups are sorted at London and Paris
into three qualities and sent to us in
bags. They are sold by the piece.

The sun was slowly sinking behind
the western horizon, says the Phila-
delphia american. It wasn't nice
thing for the sun to do, but it was do
ing it just the same. The gathering
twilight failed to conceal two young
persons seated on sofa in Frankford
house. They were Mary Jenkins and
George Augustus Jones. Twilight
deepened into dark night, and still
they sat there, the adorer and adored.
George Augustus looked up into the
lovely face, and what did he see? He
saw two eyes that sparkled as the stars
are wont to sparkle in the heavens. He
saw two cheeks-two sweet, dimpled
cheeks-over which dainty bushes
played hide and seek. He saw a
mouth whose rosebud lips resembled
the half-opened petals of some fair
flower.
George Augustus could stand it no
longer. In moment he held her IN
his mad, passionate embrace. Then,
and only then did the fair girl speak.
George, " she said.
''Well, dearest?"
'Cheese it,"
"Who do you mean?" he gasped.
''Get off the grass that's all"
He got.
In other words, he disencircled his
arm from her waist.
A minute of painful silence ensued,
during which the eyes of the girl wan
dered restlessly to and from peculiar
porcelain urn which stood upon the
table.
Finally she spoke. George" she
said. will you do me favor?'
do you favor" he cried with
fervor. There is nothing I would
not do for you. For your sweet sake
would do battle with 1000 demons,
aye, even though each demon was fol
lowed by myriads of other demons
For you | would gladly go through fire
and water. For you l would scale

with her limpid blue eyes and coyly
nesting her blonde hair in his celluloid
shirt-front, simply CAUSE.-THE GROWER.
