J. A. Vansickle.

Vansickle and lumber are two
words that go we'll together, owing
to long association. J. A. Vansickle
was born in 1874 at MahalasyilIe,
Ind, where his grandfather, Jacob
Vansickle, operated combination
grist mill and an old fashioned
sash" sawmill. on Indian creek,
and the younger generation of the
name have known scarcely any other
business since, than that of making
and handling timber and lumber In
various ways. When Mr.. Vansickle
became Of school age, the family had
removed to Martinsvilie, Ind.
where he attended the public
schools. At the age Of two years
he met with an accident to his right
limb that has caused him to be
slight cripple since but not enough
to incapacitate him from any labor
that he has undertaken. After
leaving high school he went down
into Lawrence county, Ind, where
his father, A. r. Vansickle was oper-
ating come mills and where he fill
ed almost every capacity in the
mills until in the year 1895 when
he was taken into the business along
with his father and brotheIi W.
T. Vansickle. Mr. vansickle was
married to Gertrude Norvell, Of
|ONeill, Neb,, In 1895 and from
which union they have three chill
drcn. two girls and one boy, one of
them a 'hoosier' and the other two
suckers In 1897 w. r. yansicke
retired from the business and the
firm name was then changed to A.
r. Vansickle e Son, as 1t has since
remained. aMs.
In 1901 their mills were removed
from Indiana to Tamms, ILL.,, where
both of the members OF the firm now
reside They have been operating
sawmills at Tarnms for several years
but now have mills at Mill Creek
and Clank and are buying and ship
ping veneer logs and cross-ties at
many points In this part Of the state,
In 1906 they established a retail
lumber yard and hardware store at
Tamms and have since added fruit
packages, farm implements, sash
and doors and all kinds of masons'
supplies to their line. A. r. Van
sickle handling the sawmill and
rough lumber end OF the business
and r. A. vansickle the retail part.
Immediately upon going into the
retail business, they Joined the

grain and live stock buyer and lum-
Der dealer, starting In this business
| nineteen years ago at Farina with
less than $500. Since embarking in
| business his success and rapid growth
has been miraculous. The fact is
largely due to a well trained and ed
ucated mind and varied experience
in the business world. His first en-
try in any industrial pursuit that
was renumerative was thirty odd
years ago when he picked straw
berries on Burton Rodgers farm at
cents quart, evidently establishing
the price as cents has been the
compensation ever since. Being am
bilious he was not content to remain
in work that yielded such little re-
suits. His next more pleasant work
we find him imparting information
to the young mind in and around
0sRaioosas Iowa, Genia, Louisville
and Farina, in all eleven years as
teacher in the public schools of IL
linois. the two years at Farina. his
present home, being normal terms
We now find Mr. Wade In politics
seeking the nomination for superin-
tendent OF public schools in Clay
county. In this, his first political
venture, he lost the nomination by
one or two votes. In his defeat
Clay county was the biggest looser
as he left the county. taking with
him a wife In the name of Miss Mol
lie Aldridge, whom he married in
1850. From this union two chill
dren are born, both girls, namely;
little Charline, FIVE years old, and
Ina, now sixteen. Miss Ina inherits
her mothers most admirable traits
in her modest and tnassuming ways
AS a married man Mr.. Wade's sue
cess is even more rapid. Now resi-
dent of Farina he starts In the bust
ness in which he Is now engaged
In his business career, unfortunatelg
he has been burned out three times
The first time was in 1900 and was
caused by the sparks flying from an
engine on the l. G. road. In 1904
lightning struck his building and re-
duced ii to ashes. This was during
the strawberry season when a lot Of
pickers from a distance were housed
In the yards only through respect
and sympathy for the profession. 1t
is needless to say that they made
their exit quicker than lightning.
Mr. Wade experienced another and
more DISASTROUS fire in 1908, again
being set on fire from the passing
freight train Strange to say with
such frequent loss he rose like "a
Phoenix from its ashes, With a
brave heart and determination all
buildings were replaced even larger
and more commodious to accommo-
date the growing business. In the
words of his devoted wife 1--WE have
had hard knocks and some dis
asterous losses but in the end we
are crowned with success. We owe
this all to our friends who are pa
irons of my husbands business
The strawberry picker is now
president OF the Farina Bank, presi-
dent Of the Farina Building and Loan
association, president of the school
board of the town for twent years,
a former president of the Southern
Illinois Lumber Dealers association.
He now Is a member OF the Board OF

KILLED BY ENGLISH SPARROW

One of the most peculiar deaths sver chronicled occurred recently in Huron. West Virginia. A prosper ous farmer, who owned and operated farm of IF acres near that place, was the victim and two fighting Eng lish sparrows were the unusual cause If his desth. The man was sitting. asleep, in large old-fashioned hick- ory rocking chair on the front porch of his house with his head tilted back, Suddenly the spsrraws, which had been fighting in midair, swoop- ed violently across the porch and either beak or talon of one caught in the flesh of the sleeping mans neck, tearing large, jagged wound and cutting the iugular vein. By the tinse the unfortunate mans wife rame to the porch from the kitchen her husband lay unconscious on the floor. Efforts to check the flow oi blood were futile.

BEST OF EARTH'S BLESSINGS
Comprehensive Prayer That Y Grant ed Gould Net But Bring happi-
 ress to Petitioner.

A dear old lady in 2 western city has summed up all that has been written of religions philosophy, and much that has been but dreamed, in single sentence.
 "An I ssk of the Lord" she said once. "is to make me love whatever work I may have to do
 "Whst more is there to say? What more csn he asked ?
 That prayer granted, snd happi- ness snd usefulness follow ss the night the dsy: and wealth is an incl dent, hardly to be regarded at all.
 This old lady was once rich. Now, through no fault of her own, she is poor.
 But in no other or finer sense can poverty come near her; nor the vicis- situdes of life afaict her. She has ssked-snd in this case she seems tc have received-that which makes all else unimportsnt. the blessing o1 loving her work.

of this one great health-giving,
life-prolonging comomdity to go
around. Its FREE and its FRESH
all the time.
Hardly a day passes in which
some individual does not proudly
say: 81 never did try deep-breath-
ing. though / understand it is a
very good thing to do"
In plain words "deep-breath-
ing" is an ordinary washing of
the lungs. 1t is as important or
more important, to cleanse the in
side of the body than the outside.
1t is more injurious to breathe
worn-out air than to forget or
neglect to battle.
The person who cultivates the
habit of taking long breaths will
be as hungry for them as he is
for food.
If You haven't yet formed the
habit--which Is not in any sense
a FAD, begin now.
Take at least one real breSth
a day and see how 1t goes. Muk
tiply this by ten, giving ten in
halations and ten exhalations at
each time. The result will be 100
real breaths during each day.
Breathe these long breaths
from an open window or better
still out of doors. Follow the
general rule taking the breath in
through the nose and exhaling 1t
through the mouth.
1t is so simple that most people
forget to do 1t. 1t Is no effica-
cious as an aid to health that 1t Is
wonder anyone neglects 1t.
Try taking one real breath.
