OAKLAND, May 11.-When
Roy Hunt eloped with. Dorothy
Mcclure recently he did not i'm
agine he would receive as strenu-
Gus a reception as he got upon his
return.
When the pair came back to the
brides house for the family bene-
diction they found the Mcclure
family gathered to receive them
There were also two irate family
friends present who had been re-
quested to keep Hunt from the
premises. When the friends start
ed for Roy he smashed all speed
records for the half mile. Over
hauled and brought back, Roy es-
capped temporarily by putting up a
cash bond that he would return at
a more opportune time and give
battle.
Incidentally, a sister of the
bride suggested 1t might be a
good stunt to take a shot at Hunt
should he show up again at the
family homestead.
Immediately following the row
Hunt took his bride and disap-
peared.
Several days later the bride re-
turned to her home and an
nounced that her husband would
not be back to fight the irate
family friends and consequently
would lose his forfeit. She also
said that their marriage would
end either in an annulment or a
divorce.

Guaranteed Woolens.

We are pleased to learn that the sale
of Earnsdale woolens steadily increases,
as it indicates that the American pub
lie are beginning to appreciate that
woolens made in America are fully equal
to any of the imported woolens.
The Earnsdale Worsted company man
ufacture their products exclusively from
pure virgin wool and are, therefore, able
to guarantee that they will wear longer
and retain their beauty better than ordi-
nary woolens, which often contain a
large percentage of shoddy and other
aduterants.
Their educational campaign carried on
through the public press has been sue
cessful in pointing out the advantage
and economy of their woolens; in fact,
has been the means of causing the pres
ent public agitation to obtain laws upon
our statutes. compelling manufacturers
to label their products, as to their com
position, truthfully, and we believe some
day the law will say to all manufac-
turers: Live up to your word-tell the
truth"
