The young girl who for some weeks
had been employed at the home Of
G.. T. Ely, and who was on parole from
the Industrial school at Delaware,
eIoped Tuesday. She hired two lads
to carry her two suit cases to the
country, up the road northeast Of
town, where she met her lover, a
young man who came to Utica from
Akron some time ago She and this
chap trudged to Hunts, through the
rain, carrying her suit cases, and got
there too late to catch the train they
intended boarding. They then hired
an automobile to take them to Mt.
Vernon.
Officials of the home at Delaware
were notified, before the couple had
reached Hunt, and they ordered her
capture but declined to stand the cost
of a rig for pursuit. so Marshal
Hobbs dropped out of the matter
The girl and her sweetheart were
found at Mt. Vernon Wednesday and
the girl was arrested and given into
charge of the matron of the Home

MODEL
Farm Is Made By A Harvard
Graduate

Duluth, May t6AI. /. Florsheim, Har-
ward graduate, on of millionaire shoe
manufacturer, has transformed several
hundred acres of cutoyer land north of
Bemidji into a rich and model farm
and is blazing the trail of advanced
farm methods for his neighbors.
Gust Erickson one of Florsheim's
neighbors, while in Duluth told of the
work done by the young Harvard grad
uate, who came to northern Minnesota
principally for his health, and who
now has oen of the best model farms
in this state.
Mr.. Florsheim, Harvard '98, trained
for the law, but broke down shortly
after leaving college. He had been
brought up in Chicago, where he at
tended public schools, later a prepara-
tor college ad was finally graduated
from the law department of Harvard.
He tried for months to regain his
health at a Wisconsin sanitarium.
While at the hospital he fell in love
with his nurse, Miss Clara Priebe, and
they were married. They are now liy-
ing on the farm, which lies on the
shores of Clearwater lake.
After leaving the hospital Mr.. Flor
sheim was told to work n the open
and he resolved to become farmer
He took a short course at the Wiscon-
sin Agricultural school and then he

Florsheim purchased 500 acres of cut
over land. The small house was en-.
larged to Is rooms, modern plumbing
and other conyeniences Of the city
were installed, and then came an en-
gine which cleared the land of stumps.
The homesteaders watched this
young farmer and some laughed at
the new methods. But Florsheim re-
piled that it cost but $12 an acre TO
clear his land, and he went on regard
less of the criticism.
Next came blooded cattle, followed
by swine and horses. That was three
years ago. The homesteaders laughed
again, this time declaring that it was
a joke to bring blooded Guernseys into
the pine woods. But Mr.. Florsheim
laughed also and answered these iibes
by tearing down the old barn and
erecting modern structure, with ce-

"A Jewel on Bosom of
Beautiful Landscape"
DR.. B. F. Breese, Los Angeles

The long following up of the Sac
ramento river and the crossing of
the Siskiyou mountains, with all their
scenes of beauty, are always fresh
and pleasing no matter how often re-
peated. The capped mountains and
cascades and waterfalls of Shasta are
always charming, and the flowing riv-
er shut in by magnificent mountain
scenery, always pleases. The vast
views made possible by such magnifi-
cent engineering over the Siskiyou
mountains can scarce fail to fill the
mind with admiration and the devout
soul with alteration. Ashland is a
jewel on the bosom of one of the
most beautiful landscapes which
have ever beheld. / never visit this

The European war will lend a new
emphasis to the slogan, See America
first" and a great many persons will
be attracted to the west for the first
time during 1915. Also, a consider
able percentage of the visitors to the
Panama-Pacific Exposition, during
1915, will doubtless plan either to
go or to return via the Shasta Route.
Practically all Of these travellers will
plan to stop off at one or more places
and from every view Ashland
should make an ideal stopover point.
The European war will also have
the effect of turning back many per-
sons who are in the habit of making
regular trips to the different health
resorts of the continent. To these
persons the Ashland mineral springs
should be especially inviting. The
several springs possess distinctive in
diVidual merits, and they should
prove of beneficial value to many in
valids who have not previously found
relief-and they will be grateful for
the publicity which has called these
mineral springs to their attention.

Beauties Sown Thick as Daisies In
Spring"
Bishop William Qnayle.l

Bishop William Quayle.)
How entirely the dwellers here are
apprised of the beauty of Ashland,
do not know. But that beauties are
sown as thick as daisies in the spring
is very sure. The yellow hills tumble
skyward, indolent as lazy sea pillows.
The valley takes slow course whittier
1t will. The mountains lift high
against the blue sweet sky. Behind
and out of sight save to such as go
ajourneying to reyel with It, is a
mountain stream, which |, who am a
mountain devotee, have never seen
out-beautied. Abundant in variant
voices, every one of which is music
making, vagabond as summer clouds,
wandering as in search of sunlight
and shadow and laughter and oppor-
tunity for rush and leap over noun
tain powders, upward, backward,
seeking for the hidden mountain
whence from white banks of snow
that ever melt, yet never melt, the
stream rushes with a shout of Joy.
Why, friends, 1t is worth a journey
across the continent to follow the
stream up the canyon, toward and to
the mount, past many pines and much
odor, cumulative and wonderful.
