REAL ONION KING
Swamp Lands Make Fortune for
John Stambaugh.
Ohio Member Of Legislature Raised
Forty-six Thousand Bushels IN
Buckeye State on Land
Thought Worthless.

Columbus. Ohio.-To John Siam
baugh. farmer and member OF the leg
hslature. onions spell all hat Is good
and wholesome. Only last season ne
raised $4,000 bushels Of them. enough
to set a whole city to weeping. Way
down in Texas, where they pride
themselves on the size Of their onion
crop. John Stambaugh and his onions
are known. Likewise In the recesses
of Maine are the Stambaugh onion a
thing Of note. Stambaugh stands for
onions in all the big Ohio cities. for
his products flood all markets.
Ever since 1883 and long before he
thought of being a legislator Mr.. SIAM
baugh has been raising onions. There
IL a marsh in Hardin county which
the Scioto river used to food. When
the Stambaughs moved there twenty
three years ago muck covered the
marsh in some places six feet deep.
Horses used to sink in It and would
have to be pried out. Wagons also
went down, oftentimes without warn
ing.
A system of drainage was put IN ana
the water eventually seeped away, but
the marsh is still soft and soggy and
there is where John Stambaugh and
others raise their onions. In the soft,
yielding earth onions will grow almost
without ~provocation. Their roots dive
down into the marshy ground.
Representative Stambaugh has 100
acres of such land and every season he
devotes 20 acres of it to onions. There
is no type of onion in the category
that he has not raised at one time
or another. Even with the natural
environment favorable he coaxes his
product to grow through artificial
means. The 10 acres have been sci
entiically drained SO that too much
dampness will not interfere, and all
through the season he nurses his crop.
Last season everything was favor
able to growing the best crop the ~
acres ever produced. Even Mr.. Siam
baugh was surprised when his onions
began to grow r~ecklessly. When the
crop was finally harvested the result
was $4,000 bushels.
Its just natural onion land" says
MI. Stambaugh in explaining his onion
prodigy. Onions canno help grow
ing there when you plant them"
The onion king" smiles in relating
how he invades even the Texas mar
ket. Down in Texas they irrigate to
raise onions. Sometimes they have to
spend thousands of dollars to irrigate
a few acres. 1t Is this cost of irriga-
ton that permits the Ohio onion to
compete with the Texas onion on the
latter's own ground. Up in Hardin
county the Scioto river gratuitously
does what the Texans spend lens OF
thousands in coaxing the Rio Grande
and artesian wells I" do.
Mr.. Stambaugh talks of his onion
exploits only in whispers. He viii
not tell just how much he made OF
that bumper crop last season, but
some estimate that the profits amount
ed to more than $4,000.

The real business of life is the
making of happy home, When
you come to sift the whole ohaff
of existence, everything goes 70
the wind but the happiness we have
had at home.
All about us are beautiful homes
which are mere 2auper houses, so
far as happiness is concerned, be-
cause of some one member Of
the family who is a petty tyrant, a
nagger, peace destroyer.
In hours of exuberance and ex-
ultation or joyous merriment; in
reflective moments when the soul
is swept with memories, pleasing
or plaintive, in the silence of relig-
ious meditations; or is our little re-
cesses from the homely duties and
commonplace labors of the day or
week they befriend us with their de-
lightful solace, these thoughts of
home and happy family circle.
There are six secular nights in
each week. Out of the six some
men spend one at home and five
at lodge, while others spend five
at home and one at lodge. In
which class shall we register your
name?
We are coming to understand that
all the prayers and baptisms and
communions which the churches
can bestow upon us will not make
us christians, SO long as we think
mean, uneharitable thoughts Of
one another and permit our minds
to be filled with malice, envy, jeal-
ousy, gloom and dependency.
Work is a moral and physical up
litter it is a panacea for sorrow;
idleness brings moral decay and
furnishes an incentive to crime. The
avalanche of crime that is sweeping
over our beautiful land is largely
due to the fact that too many would
rather steal than work. The life
of duty, not the life of mere ease
or mere pleasure, is the end of
life which makes the great men
and women. The best prize that
life offers is the chance to work
at work worth doing.

A word of encouragement at the
right time is of more real worth
than an ounce of gold. 1t is more
nourishing to the soul than meat

the ruts of dependency. Many a
poor oyerworked wife is pining for
a word Of sympathy from her hus-

are appreciated, and the light re-

sweeter our lives would be, If we

those of our fellow-men and fell

ment in their ear and oh! how
much brighter our lives and theirs

Jeroboam's First Mistake
It should be remarked that one Of Gods
prophets had specially forctold to Jero-
beam that lie was TO be the king Of the
ten tribes II was doubtless this that led
him to head the Instruction tie should
have followed the example Of King Da-
vid, who was anointed king Of Israel sew
eral years before the death Of King Saul.
Young David was content TO wait Gods
time for bringing him 20 the throne. The
fact that God had Indicated that this
would be so did not indicate that the time
had come, hence David waited on the
Lord and meanwhile learned valuable les
sons Of self-control and trGst In Divine
Providence.
Not so Jeroboam, who was evidently n
very different type OF man, no doubt pos
sessed OF more confidence In himself than
OF trust in God possessed u more impa-
thence to be a king than OF loyalty and
patriotic zeal to serve God and ais people.
This first mistake should be noted by all.
wait ye upon ME, saith the Lord The
man wins ignores God Is not wise; the
man who opposes God Is a fool
Jeroboanl's Second Mistake
When the ten tribes revoltcd against
King Rehoboam, SolomOn's son, they
promptly accepted JerobOam one OF Solo
mons servants. as their king. in harmony
with the PROPHETS declaration Of years
before. Finally the boy OF humble birth
had reached high station Of influence-a
grand opportunity for service for his God
and his people. Whoever occupies posi-
ton Of prominence-poI social liter
ary-should recognize that thereby he has
come under special responsibility and OBJ
legations toward all with whom he has
to do.

EMPIRE SHADES FIND FAVOR
Parisians In Reminiscent Mood Where
Tints of the Moment Are
Concerned.

Empire green Every empire) is the
latest within in Paris, as is everything
reminiscent of the empire period. This
shade may best be likened to the bril-
liant yet soft green of the Chinese
jade, it is beautiful in every imagin-
able material, and blends particularly
well with silver or gold.
Another late shade Is sacre, a COM
bination of cerise and coral. It is ex-
ceedingly handsome and effective in
ostrich plumage and flowers, but must
be used with discretion on account Of
it's brilliance.
In mauve the latest are pTelate.
evecque and pervenchee. The first
two are rich, deep ecclesiastical pur-
pies, and pervenchee is a soft, pale
lavender, slightly pinkish in tone.
Hener is beautiful golden yellow.
clear and translucent, with just the
faintest touch of apricot in the cast.
1t is practically the only distinct vel
low shade in favor at the moment.
