They are not exactly bad boys,
these two in a certain West Phila-
delphia family, but they are inVari-

one another. Probably it was the
fact of frequent parental interview

hostilities. At any rate, they are
rather famous in their neighbor-
hood.
One day not long ago one of the
neighbors, who is fond of contests
of any sort, said, edwin, when you

In our announcement column
will be found the announcement
of Wright Il. Pau1lz for the office
of representative from this coun-
ty. He comes from one of the old
estand mostinf1uential families in
the county and, if he is elected,
will make the county creditable
and conscientious representative.
His energy and we'll recogniz-
ed capabilities have made him a
conspicuous figure among his
fellows from his boyhood. He
has indomita BILE pluck, and is a
true type of the aggressive south
erner, with an am bition that does
not stop to look at small things
and a determined will-power that
does not hesitate at ordinary OBJ
stacles.
He is now actively in the cam
paign, and making friends and
