Adhering to policy of ignoring
cheap competition, and believing that
"the best is none too good" Mr..
Vlieland has established business
which, as he says, "defies all comers,"
and the continued repeat" orders
have proved its solid foundation.
Believing in the sound principle OF
spending your money where you get
it, Mr.. Vlieland has built up an es-
tablishnrent which those who are in a
position to know declare is the finest
floral establishment for its size in the
state, north of Milwaukee.
In the new location the Company
handles not only flowers and plants,
but beautiful baskets, vases, pottery
and jardineres, handpainted China
ware, glassware, and many other
useful and artistic adjuncts to the
floral trade. He has lately added
canaries, paroquets and goldfish.
AS we stated before, the establish

SPRING VALLEY MYSTERY;
THE APPLE RING

Spring Valley-Mrs. Peter Lohn
baked some apples for dinner Friday
Peter likes baked apples with cream
and sugar, but when be bit into the
one on his plate he almost broke. off
a tooth.
He investigated. The hard object
was a plain gold ring, baby's size.
Now those apples were all sound
and good when Mrs. Lohn put them
to bake. They were grown on the
Nyhus farm, in Spring Lake, but
there is no baby in the Nyhus family
and il there were, how could its
ring get inside the apple?
Well, how could it get there?
Did some bird drop the ring into
the blossom? Did some crow, fond
Of bright objects, steal the ring and
hide it in hole in the growing fruit?
It's mystery equal to that which
caused the King of England such
wonder years ago. "How got the
ling inside?"

has lease till spring, hera's d way
that was tried j,:st recently not over
3991a miles from Spring Valley,
The tenant of q rented farm was
asked to go-to move /, n and quit
but refused. Last week the farm
owner appeared. "1hosc chii.neys
need fixing before winter" he said,
and proceeded to climb to the roof
with mortar and tr)wei.
The tenant went tat t. work, ami
the wife proce a9ed to get dinner.
Soon she ran to her husband. The
house was afre, or something at
least the whole house was full of
smoke.
On investigation il was found that
the owner had indeed ''fxed" the
chimneys; he had first stuffed sanny
sacks into them, then poured pail
full or two of mortar on top of the
sacks, then dumped dozen brick or
so into the mortar. The tenant got
the kitchen chimney clear, but the
other froze up on him and is still
plugged.
Perhaps, though, you had better not
try this plan-for the tenant still
holds the fort.-Sun.

This Swan Was a FIGHTER.

A battle with swan and bather
occurred on the Thames river, the
London Times reports. While bathing
just below Windsor bridge a man was
attacked by swan about half way
across the river. He managed to reach
the bank, but the bird refused to allow
him to return, for his clothes. Some
onlookers endeavored to divert the at
tention of the bird with bread, which
they threw into the water. but the
bird, while eating the bread, kept one
eye on the bather. After waiting for
nearly. half an hour the bather dived
in and, swan as, far as possible under
water. Directly he, appeared on the
surface, however, the swan made for
him with outstretched wings, and an
exciting race ensued. which luckily
was won by the man.

Machinery Replaces Handwork.


The Manila hemp industry in the
Philippines is being speeded up. a
machine has been invented to do the
work of stripping the fiber, formerly
carried out by hand.
Manila hemp is not really true
hemp, but the. fiber Of plantain, a
kind Of banana, grown on the hillsides
Of the islands of Luzon and Mindanao.
The fiber used is found in the over
tapping leaf-sheaths, which support
stems 20 feet high. When about five
years old the plant throws out flower
shoot, and the whole stalk is then cut
down. The fibrous leaf-sheath is split
into strips, and hitherto these strips
have been scraped by hand.
Now, however, hemp stripping ma
chine is in use which does seven
times the work of the old hand proc
ess in a given time. With it one man
can strip 40 pounds of fiber day,
task that by hand occupies a whole
week.

HADN'T HEARD OF EGGLEST0N
Small Wonder ! That Ignorance Of
Tourists Excited Indignation Of
Indiana Official.

The>tOwn of Vevay snugly nesting
in picturesque hills along the Ohio
river in Switzerland county, has two
show places of which it is particularly
proud, according to Jim Wright, We
ways postmaster.
The two special features of interest
to which Vevay folk point with pride
is an unusual view of stretch of the
Ohio river and the old home of Ed
ward Eggleston, author Of ''The
Hoosier Schoolmaster." Now and then
the pride Of the citizen who points
out these two places gets jolt, Mr..
Wright said. One was delivered the
other day at the Vevay library where
tourists asked the librarian whether
the town had anything of historic in
terest.
1--WE have, indeed" replied the L.
brarian. "We have the old home Of
Edward Eggleston."
"Eggleston, Eggleston," remarked
one Of the tourists, "and who was her
'sThe singing part of it," Wright
said, "was that these tourists were
from Cincinnati, where our women do
some Of their shopping when they go
out Of town. Think Of itvsuch igno-
rance" ~
Mr.. Wright tells of a woman from
the arid Southwest visiting vevay not
long ago with her little daughter. The
child come from land where irriga-
ton bitches contain most of the water.
Filled with amazement on her first
view Of the Ohio river the youngster
cried excitedly to her mother: mann
ma. wherever in the world did they
get such big ditch?"-Indianapolis
