No blood follows the Withdrawal of the implement. •jjhe secret of how the with Idrawal of blood is accomplished is [closed to Smith and the world at large. Concentration is his only method. Smith claims there are hut three men doing this feat, till of them Orientals. With Spring-beaming its evi dence on every hand and the Fourth of July already making its demands on the anticipation of the juvenile population, invitations to the annual Christmas party of Meggido Mission art* in the mail. The rest of the World is sadly out of step when it . celebrates Christmas on pecember 25, mem bers of the sect explain. The proper time for the fete is now they insist. They base their cele bration on the assumption that Christ was horn during the j Spring time, when the shepherds 'were herding their flocks on the I green hills about Jerusalem ^ Rulers of two nations have sent i little twelve year old Effie Ingra ham if Horne!! their appreciation of her verses. Heralded as a prod'gv. and lacking the wealth end culture that is the lot of more fortunate children, Effie lias re ceived letter of praise from Presi dent Calvin Coolidge and Queen Marie of Roumania. Her first attempt was in a con test with America as the subject. | Her effort won the first prize and! the congratulations of President j Cool idge. Forty scientific and plain oidi nary fishermen, composing the Fly and Casting club of the Isaak Walton league, have organized to better their tactics against the! finny denizens of the waters about Rochester. The first lesson took the form of j an impromptu easting contest on a 1 wooden surfaced pond, where ex-! perts in the delicate art showed , their tricks to those who wished to j woo the crafty trout with some- j thing approaching skill. The claim has been advanced by Dr. J. E. Crofts man of Canisto that more than fifty per cent of the school girls in that town have goiter in its incipient stages. The medico holds that this community is no exception in the number of cases, claiming that many Western New York com munities will show an alarming increase in the disease. The Shay method of feeding hogs is paying many farmers in North Carolina. The man with extra corn should try this method this year. Watch Us!

Coca Cota Sales. -~ 1 I There’s a nuv love tangle in i the famous Candler family of At lanta, Ga.—the same family which has produced a 1 oted bishop, a manufacturer of soft drinks worth many millions, and a justice of the. supreme court—not to mention a succession of matrimonial tangles and costly damage suits. A man of the Cardler clan is suing his wife for a divorce. lie makes sensational charges alleging that his mate is a believer in “free love*” The Candler family melodrama began 35 years ago when the sen ior Asa G. Candler, then a poor druggist’s clerk, corked his first bottle of non-nleoholic liquid and left it to stand overnight prior to opening it and trying out its “kick.” Asa G. Candler became many times a millionaire—-all from his new soft drink. Then—a little less than four years ago—things began to hap pen. The hard luck of the “Can dler boys” in the realm of the af j fections struck its first blow. The first blast to the family’s peace and happiness came when the wife of Walter T. Candler, second ■ on of the millionaire cap italist and philanthropist, left her Ini -hand after constant disagree ment.‘a Walter took with him to K't rop hi; friends, < lyde K. Byfield, : n automobile dealer of Atlanta, end By field’s yon nr a'd pretty bride, .Mrs. Sarah By field . When the boat docked in America on their return Mrs. Byfield brought suit against. Candler for $100,000, charging that he attacked her. It developed at the trial that fol lowed that Candler had given By field a note of settlement of $21.500 in addition to $4,500 in cash, but had attempted to prevent payment of the note. After a trial of con siderable sensationalism, a judge ment favoring Candler was return ed. Later Candler was obliged by a Georgia court to pay the note, which he did. Appeals were taken on the $100,000 suit, but develop ed nothing further. The manner in which Walter Candler’s wife, although estrang ed. stood by him during the Bv field difficulty is said to have touched a warm spot in Asa G. Candler’s heart. He played the part of Cupid in negotiations which resulted in the reconcilia tion of Walter and his wife. This reunion is said to have caused somewhat of a change in Asa Candler’s will in favor of Walter land his wife. With Walter once more out of trouble and in a happy home, Asa Candler found new health and en thusiasm in life. He plunged into polities, banking, and philan thropies with new zest. Then came another blow. A woman known to Asa Candler, he said, rys a worker for the Red Cross appeared in his office. In a few minutes aouaa unknown to Candler Entered and hinted at “compromising posi tions” and "nice fixes.” Tin? wo man demanded protection money. The man and woman were sent to prison as black mailers, and Can dler breathed easier again. But his rtst was short lived. He fell in love with Mrs. Onezima De Bouchel, member of an old New Orleans family, and famed as a beauty. He announced their en gagement—then thought it all over and broke it. Mrs, DeBouehel brought suit for $500,000 heart balm. Candler contested it and succeeded in winning a verdict. A few months later Candler married the pretty stenographer in his own office. Ten months I later tliey separated after Mrs. : Candler had been arrested in a ! police raid on a “dive." After a year of bickering and threatened : divorces, Candler was reunited ! with his estranged wife.—At last, it seemed the family’s love trou | hies were all over, until—— Out of a clear sky Bishop War ren A. Candler’s son, John C. Candler, brought suit the other i day against his wife, Henrietta Hammond Candler, charging her with being a believer in ‘free love.’ Now the Candlers are facing a suit that is expected to be more bitter than any before. Efforts of Bishop Candler and others of the family to restore peace have fail ed. John C. Candler goes right on f ' • C O L D .

Thursday, April 14—the Natal Day Twenty-five years ago on the 14th day of April, Mr. James C. Penney started a gen eral dry goods store in a small mining camp in the mountains of Wy oming. There was nothing pretentious about this little retail shop; Mr. Penney had the urgent needs of the pres ent to think &bout rather , than spending his time in visioning the future. There was something different about that lit tle store. There was ever present the gra cious smile, the desire to give helpful service to every customer, the insistence that everybody passing through its dcor should have a square deal and at least 100 cents* worth for every dollar. Diligent application, hard work, study, con stantly improving ser vice—these were some of the outstanding fac tors which soon won favor for Mr. Penney’s little retail shop and caused him to plan other stores where his kind of storekeeping could be en joyed by greater numbers of people. Thursday of this week! April 14th! Just a quarter of a century has passed I Instead of the one little shop, there are 773 J. C. Penney Company Department Stores scattered over 46 states.
