raisers of the Jonathan and Grimes Col
den varieties to be particular about
early picking, as experience has proved
that they must be handled much like

they are ripe they will spoil before
Thanksgiving.

WINS MILLION DOLLARS
JUST BY KINDLY DEED

Mcdonald, Pa.-Word has come
from Texas that the will of John En-
mis-, who recently died at Corpus
Christi, leaves all his estate, valued
at s1,000,000 to his wife during her
life and at her death it is to be equ-
ally divided between Boyce Rankin
and his wife, Nancy Ferguson RAN
kin.
This uncovers romantic tale of
the Mcdonald oil fields of 90 years
ago. Jack Ennis, who has Just died
worth million, was then a very poor
teamster without credit. Rankin, who
was clerk in feed store. took pity
on Ennis and extended him credit
for horse feed at time when credit
was needed. Ennis declared he would
make Rankin his heir for this, and
some time later. he struck oil on his
own account and when a small for
tune rushed to the then opening Beau
mont oil fields of Texas. where he
quadrupled his money and retired to
Corpus Christi, building an immense
pleasure resort hotel and bathing
pavilion.
In the meantime Rankin, still a
poor man had married Nancy Fernis
and two years later Ennis came north
and found Rankin at Cambridge CITY.
Ind, and offering him double salary
and life position if he would take
charge of his Corpus Christi business
interests quickly carried the Rankin
family off to Texas, where they have
since been.
Rankin is to be employed at large
salary during the life of Mrs. Ennis.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-There was no
special feature to the wheat market
this morning. One commission house

Wheat in Liverpool was steady on
American cables and there was a good

firmness that was soon lost on selling
