Publishers of those books which give
a Hat of the richest tneu in America
are planning to devote a special vol

ern part of the county. A few of the
more prominent residents of Aurora
and vicinity have been discussing
the feasibility of buying up Wash

where they intend using It for a
suburb.
And the answer to all thlB is writ
ten in that one word ? potatoes.
Aurora Is shipping out the biggest
crop of potatoes in Its history. Good
prices are being paid for the crops
and every farmer In that section is
making a handsome profit on his
year's work.
Automobile agents have been
swarming around Aurora In droves
recently and many machines have
already been purchased. Many more
will undoubtedly be sold during the
next few weeks. When news of thei
section's prosperity becomes gener
ally known. manufacturers of
yach's. speed boats and JtO-pansma

calmly stick his $1 cigar into the
