TIMOTHY MIXTURES.

So-called cloter-timothy seed mix
lures which are widely advertised by
certain seed firms at what may appear
TO be attractive prices, often contain
so little alsike or red cloves that they
are OF little II any more value than
timothy seed, but actually cost nearly
double the market price OF that seed
say specialists OF the United States
Department Of Agriculture. These
mixtures are usually offered by the
bushel, followed by the qualifying
statement that bushel weighs only
As pounds.
In other words, this seed Is offered
as clover and timothy with the claim
that the different seeds occur in the
proper PROPORTIONS for seeding, while
frequently there Is not more than five
or six per cent Of clover present-not
enough to be Of any value in the crop.
Persons who buy mixed seed can
not bee too careful to learn the exact
proportion of the mixtures they get
and the quality Of the seed composing
them. Otherwise. they are likely to
pay an eXhorbitant price for seed that
will not give the crop wanted.

GOLDEN WEDDING
BRINGS TO LIGHT
WONDERFUL RECORD
Mr.. and Mrs. q. n. Harding Have Had
Physician In Their Home
But Twice In Half
Century.

Mr.. and Mrs. @. N. Harding, 1245
Forest avenue, celebrated their golden
wedding, Saturday, March 2s, 1921.
Their entire family consisting of two
children, six grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren were present.
with the exception of one grandson,
Orville Fetter who IL attending Dayton
University. After o'clock lunch the
marriage ceremony was again said by
Rev. W. II. Morris, and they received
congratulations from the four genera
lions OF the family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harding were married
at Philadelphia, Ind, in 1871, moving
to Maysville In 1876. The fathers of
both were Methodist ministers. Mrs.
Harding has been a member of the
Methodist church for Ga years, and
Mr.. Harding for So years, he also hay
Ing served as superintendent of Sed-
den M. e. Sunday school for about
forty years. Mrs. Harding is 70 years
of age and Mr.. Harding 70, and it is
remarkable that in their entire fifty
years Of married life there has not
occurred single death and neither of
them has required the services of
physician except when God gave them
their two daughters, Lillian and Ger
trude
Mr.. Harding served in the Union
army during the Civil War, never
missed duty on account of sickness,
and was honorably discharged at the
close Of the war. We all know Mr..
Harding better by the name of Daddy
Harding. At present he is superintef-
dent Of the Sunday school at Sedden
NJ. E. church and when you speak re-
ferring to the word of God that
teaches us that man is more precious
than gold the little folks at our Sun
day school are ready to say that God
means Daddy Harding, who to them
and to this school is more precious |
than gold. Daddy Harding always has |
a smile and kind word for every
body. From the least to the greatest,
they receive alike the same kindness |
from Daddy Harding. He is indeed no
respector Of persons; but is deeply |
interested in all and how often we
have heard him pray not only for the |
mass in the mansion but the poor and
humble in the cabin and cottage. Dad |
dy Harding is mechanic. His sweet |
Spiritedness is contagious. Just to be |
with him few moments is to realize |
that you are with one of Gods best. |
He is interested in the salvation of |
man and is ever ready to fill his place |
and his prayer is God may bless him
and the work of his church" which is
The first work and to this end he la
bors. have met a few men in life |
who seem to have as much interest |
nthe promotion, but I am sure they |
have no more interest than Daddy
After this pleasant hour together
With this cultured family the writer
caves, praying that God may bless the
'amily and keep up all and We would
ike to say allow us to meet fifty years
rom today on Forest avenue at the
beautiful home No. 1245.

TOBE BRIDE OF SON
Julie Vennet to Be Deported
Unless Deppe's Appeal to
Washington Wins.

Henry George Deppe, ffty-five, OF
Palmerton, Pa, has not succeeded yet
in marrying Julie Vennet, twenty
five, who came here after a romance
with his son had been blasted be-
cause he already was supplied with
a wife. Unless Washington overrules
the Ellis Island authorities, the girl
will be deported. 7
Hair slicked more prettily than a

seeking TO shove its way through the
shirt, Deppe gamboled around Ellis
Island yesterday with a French

in the other. The book was so badly
thumbed on a page marked "aimer'
that the type was all but obllterated.
Deppe could be heard memorizing his

which, In New Yorkese, means, TN
for you strong, bright eyes"
Somebody was so tactful as 20 .ug-
gest to Deppe that he need memorize
little, as in American married life
conversation consisted chiefly OF a
mOnolOgue and that he would better
train his ears to listen TO French
than his tongue to speak il.
Deppe, the young gray-haired hope
full, was trying to prevail on the au-
thorities at Ellis Island to let him
pack Nine. Julie Vennet aboard a
train for Palmerton as his bride.
They declined as on the previous Gay
