SOME BIG FIGURES IN REAL ESTATE. The Erwin Real Estate agency yesterday quietly and without any outward demonstration closed a gigantic deal in real estate, ex changing and creating new owners to nearly 700 acres of valuable farming land and carrying an actual value of over |100,000.00. Three hundred sixty-three acres in Pauling County, Ohio, of the value of over 160,000.00 becomes the Hands of Mr. John Pfister and sons of Kirkland Township, Adams County, who will occupy the same by the last of April. This farm is all cleared, fenced 'and tiled every few rods and will produce in com 100 bushels per acre; readily and equally productive for all crops in connection with general farming. v Mr. Pfister belongs to the Newmanese German class and is surrounded in his new home by farmers of the same faith and energy who add largely to the general thrift and standing of any rural community and aid largely in establishing the higher standards of industry economy and honesty; that he will make good there can be no doubt as their one creed is waste neither time nor money but make the best use of both, with the motto, “Do unto ethers as you would have, them do unto you.” In the transaction Mr. J. V. Banta of Fort Wayne, who believes farm investments are better than bank stock, becomes the owner of Mr. Pfister's 220 acres west of Fort Wayne, and 100 acres near Peterson, Adams County, and that these farms will continue to yield to their full capacity, Mr. Banta will show the coming season. Let no one imagine farm lands are mean investments and that the future will see these values decline for progressive men are waking up to the fact and the knowledge of what the good old soil will yield to the faithful tiller thereof, and when three farms owned by these two men represent capital enough to capitalize a substantial bank it plainly shows that the value of real worth lies in the possession and successful operation of good farms and that success comes tolhose who are not ashamed to toil and venture. The deal had been in negotiation for some time and during that time inspired the following rhyme, “For Java and Pfister:” Java and Pfister went out for a walk The sights for to see and some business to talk. Says Java to Pfister as they stroll through the lane, 1 Look here, my good sir, see my big cane? This cane it was given to me Xmas day By the boys who do business by work and not play. I prize it most highly my Dear German friend, It seems like myself with a crook on the end. • Says Java to Pfister protect me from harm. And I’ll tell you the merits of my big Paulding farm. Just listen to me all day until night And from my candy cane 1 11 give you a bite. I’ll tell you the truth and never lie, You’ll never get rich till this big farm you buy. I’ll sell it to you for much less than cost And guarantee never a loss from the frost. I’ll guarantee corn as long as your arm. And that through eternity you suffer no harm. I’ll guarantee pumpkins as big as bass drums And that you will never see beggars or bums. I’ll guarantee cucumbers as long as your leg. J And from your back door no tramps will e er beg. • 1 guarantee everything in crops and live stock And that the big steers will be too fat to walk. I will guarantee potatoes without any skins, And that all the cows will give birth to twins. I’ll guarantee pigs to grow without feed And that of hard cash you’ll have more than you need. I will guarantee horses to work without hay, And plenty of sunshine day after day. I’ll guarantee boys to grow up without sin. And that every egg will yield you a twin. And now, Mr. Pfister, I’ve not told thee half. If I told you the rest the neighbors would laugh. But listen to me I'll show you the light. And when I get through you’ll think I am right. I want you this farm to buy very quick, Although for to sell it I’m not very sick. Trust me, on my heart and my soul, Yah! Yah! Mr. Java, here is my roll.

Something About Famous Opera— The Bridal Chorus Translation. The “Heart Song” illustrated in today’s issue of the Democrat is the famous Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin. To untold thousands of people this wedding march recalls the most joyous moment of their lives. In sequence of writing this great opera is the seventh of Wagner's productions for the stage’. The poem was written at Dresden in 1845; the music begun in September. 1846; the instrumentation of the entire work

was completed during the ensuing winter and spring; and the first performance took place August 28, 1850, at Weimar. The opera has always been especially popular in the United States and England, not only on account of the wondrous beauty of the music—but because the legend itself has been embodied in English literature. The Lohengrin Bridal Chorus, or wedding march, is only one of several celebrated compositions of this kind that appear in the book —and it in this completeness and accuracy that make it universally interesting and absolutely a work that no home should do without. “Heart Songs” is one of the great books of the century. It will charm, entertain and instruct every member of the family. It has 500 large pages. Including over four hundred selections, words and music, and is now being distributed by this paper to its friends and readers on presentation of five consecutively dated coupons clipped from the paper, and the bare cost of distribution. Books arc on display at this office and the choice is optional, as set forth elsewhere in hi? issue. —o - ELECTA BALTZELL. Is prepared to make out your mortgage exemption.

JO' An 8-foot Spread From a 45-inch Box JN the Low Corn King catalogue it takes pages to tell about the good construction that backs up the “8-foot-wide spread from a narrow 45-inch box.” Here the space is limited. See the spreader and study these things: The simple worm and worm gear which drive the apron can be reversed, . doubling the wear qualities. The gear is entirely enclosed, away from dust and dirt. The relation of beater and apron is just right to do the best work on the manure with the least power. Low Corn King is a steel spreader — frame, beater axles, wheels, driving parts — ail of light, strong, compact steel. You return the apron by a convenient foot lever—no hand cranking, no getting down from seat. These things — remember — back up the even, satisfactory 8-foot-or-better wide spread. Get acquainted with the Low Corn King spreader. See the local dealer who sells it. International Harvester Company of America (Incorporated) Low Corn King spreaders are sold by Go.

He will find a gum recession, ’ even though slight, where the gums have ’ pulled away from the teeth. And he will tell you that you have the dread disease pyorrhea.

From pyorrhea come by far the greater part of all tooth troubles. Unless treated and checked, it will result not only in the shrinking and malformation of your gums and of the bony structure into which your teeth are set, but in the loss of the teeth themselves.

Its regular use insures your teeth against the attack or further progress of pyorrhea.
