No>DIvoRcEs IN 75o WEDDINGS

Seven hundred and fifty couples married in 29 years by one justice of the peace, and not one divorced, is the record of Forrest F. Williamson, jus tice of the peace at Media, 15 miles west of Philadelphia.
 Whether Squire" Williamson exerts some mysterious charm over tho couples he marries, or whether it is the advice he gives them after per forming the nuptials that keeps them away from the divorce courts is mat ter of some conjecture. Perhaps it is l because he has attained this record of marrying couples that go serenely through life with never a thought of divorce that so many young people go l from Philadelphia and other parts of l Pennsylvania and from New Jersey to have him perform the ceremony. And | it is quite possible that many of these 1 refrain from separations, just to keep | the "squire's" record unblemished.
 Squire" Williamson sometimes tics 1 the knot for as many as 20 couples a
 week. Of late he has performed few i ceremonies, due he thinks to the in 1 fluenza epidemic.
 This record holder was appointed a
 justice of the peace in 1898. Since his
 appointment the people have voted him the job every five years. No one ever opposes him. Squire Williamson is 72 1 years old and expects to make many other sweethearts happy before he l finally leaves his office.

To be possessed of head of heavy. beautiful hair; soft. lustrous, fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff is mere- ly a matter of using little Danderine.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine now--it costs but few cents-all drug stores recommend it-appiy a little as directed and within ten minutes here will be an appearance of abundance, freshness, fiuffiness and an incompar- able gloss and lustre. and try as you will you can not find a trace of dan- druff or falling hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will sec new hair-fine and downy at flrst-yes- but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp-Danderine is, we be- lieve, the only sure hair grower. de- stroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp. and it never fails to stop fall. ing hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at a time. Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a few moments-a delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this.-Adv.

 CANARY BIRD HUNT. Buck, the , hero of Mir. Charles D. Stewards new novel, has been characterized as d big hearted, enterprising son of the middlewest.' That phrase hardly does justice to the versatility of his nature --or the whimsical tenderness, which is perhaps his most captivating quail ity. One of the most charming incl dents of the book is the one which recount's Bucks chase all over the city of Chicago after truant canary bird. It shows the young mans tender na- ture-for he could not bear the idea of that poor hot-house canary starv- ing and freezing out in the 'cold world" And it evidences his remark 1 able tenacity of nature, for man who would chase so elusive an object as a 1 runaway canary through the devious roads of Chicago till he caught him would undoubtedly have success Tn capturing other things in life. = 1 C''Buck."

Everybody knows these two things, but when such a book is published as "A Sheaf," few years ago. and nov Another Sheaf,r it is well 10 recall them before We take up the volume. For a writer who thinks keenly feels humanely. and writes beautifully is indeed a master to turn to in this day and it goes without saying that what he writes is valuable. We open An other Sheaf' in the full confidence of that. And our confidence is not mis- placed
 For the most part. Mir. Galsworthy's new group of papers-they are too per tinent considerations of practical things to be called precisely essays are devoted to questions of reconstruc- ton. Written during the war, they discuss after -the-war problems. There are significant reflections upon Anglo American relations and upon certain ! American characteristics. with the | possibilities of changes in the flture | in America. There is a very serious paper upon the soldier workman after ] the war. There is an exquisitely beau ! tiful call to the rehabilitation of strick ! en men. And there is some very Gals | worthan satire. There are two impor- ] tant papers, too. upon the English land ! situation in 1917 and then in 1918.

 there are chapters on the minerals flora, missionaries, and scenic beauties of the commonwealth, without which the story would be incomplete, but there are also narratives of the ''bad men" and bad places" in the history | of the state.
 | The Berryhill company also states | that the jacket of the book was de- signed by Tighter James. formerly a 1 Phoenix lad, now in demand for cover work on eastern magazines.
