90-YEAR-OLD TWINS DISPUTE WOODVILLE . BROTHERS' CLAIMS
The Time to Be Careful
(By Associated Press) LEAVENWORTH, April 12 Friends of James and Joe-1 Cheatwood, twins who celebrated their ninetieth birthday anniversary last Oct. 11 on the farm of the former near here, are prone to dispute the claim of the Woodville, Ohio twins, William H. Sr., and Henry Bruns to the title of "oldest livinff twins in thi TTnitprt Stntps "
at the age of 88. . J The recipe for long life of the Kansas Twins is similar to that of the! Ohloans "Work.", Each of the Cheat-1
wood twins owns a farm and works on it daily, still being able to keep pace with a farm worker "three-score and ten" years their junior. Pleas of relatives for the twins to retire, always have provoked a protest: "Our chief
enjoyment in life is working on our farms. If we hadn't kept busy all these years we probably would have died long ago." At a party given by the twins on their ninetieth birthday, Jim remarked: "I'm going to keep right on working and whistling a tune as long as I can." So 'striking is the resemblance between the Cheatwood twins, that when they don their "Sunday clothes" and have their beards trimmed, it is difficult to tell them apart. Like the Bruns twins, the Cheatwoods also are pioneers, having settled in Kansas in the late '50s. For 63 years they have lived on the farms they now occupy.

INDIAN'S ICY WELL IS FREAK OF NATURE
From the Youth's Companion.
More than eight years ago Johni
Spotted Wolf, an Indian of the Cheyenge reservation in Eastern Montana, decided that he should like to have a well near his log cabin. Se he and his
wife, Mary, chose a spot near a large pine tree perhaps twenty rods from the door, and then John began to dig.' By noon of the second day he had dug down ten feet. Although the weather was mild, he had complained of being cold while at work. After eating he put on an extra coat and went to work again; he kept Mary and her brother Rolling 'Bull busy hauling up and carrying away the dirt that he loosened. But in spite of John's extra clothing he still was cold. On the third morning he added more clothing; but when night came and the well had reached the depth of eighteen feet, he was almost frozen. ' The next morning he again descended the well and worked as rapidly as his many layers of clothing would permit. After a while water began to
appear. Suddenly he shouted, "Pull , me up! Pull me up!" j John had barely reached the surface before the well filled to within a foot of the top and then began to freeze round the edges. In a short time only!
a smaii opening perhaps a foot in diameter remained. j The well remains the same .way year, after year. During the day in
summer the sun melts the ice round the top. but at night it freezes again. The well, which furnishes a permanent ice supply for the people in the neighborhood, is a strange freak of Nature, of which there are so many in the western part of the state. Tourists who visit the reservation regard it as a great curiosity.
NEVER WOULD AGREE From the Birmingham Age-Herald. "It was a mistrial?" "Of course," said the lawyer, bitterly. "I didn't find out until after we had submitted our case and the ladies of the jury had retired to deliberate on their -verdict that two of them are neighbors and don't speak."

Bright Lights on the Farm Out on the prairie, in New England valleys, on lonely mountain sides, thousands of farm homes, churches, schools, and stores are now electrically lighted by the current from Exide Batteries. A large majority of all small electric light and power plants on farms and on yachts are equipped with Exide the long-life battery. - You use an Exide Battery daily every time you telephone it is the current from an Exide that sends your voice over the wire. Submarines are propelled under the sea, as are mine locomotives below the ground and street trucks and electric passenger cars on the ground, by Exide Batteries. Exide was the pioneer battery in automobiles as well as in the other fields where batteries are used. The result is a , starting and lighting battery of long-lasting power a matter of real comfort and economy to you in motoring. When you require a new battery, or repairs on any make of battery, we hope for an" opportunity to show you the calibre of Exide service. The Electric Storage Battery Company Philadelphia

THE LONG-LIFE BATTERY FOR YOUR CAR
There wasn't enough coal to go around. The permanent coal dealer with a conscience and reputation couldn't get his full supply at a reasonable price. "Somebody" dared to pay the high price and charged the people so-called "profiteering" prices.
Don't Go Wild If.
1. Prices advance as a result of the strike. The law of supply and demand is inevitable. The retailers here in Richmond have no control over mine prices. Railroads, public utilities, industry, etc., take 85 of all coal mined. When coal is scarce they outbid the "little" retailer, whose combined purchases are only 12 to 15 of all coal mined.
2. The legitimate, "established" coal dealer charges a fair price the year around for full weight, quality and service. Don't compare his price with the spasmodic price of "the other fellow." If a bargain is offered you, why not see the company's office and yards? Secure references! Demand a guarantee that will, later on insure protection. You can buy land for $4.00 an acre or $400.00. You can buy stock for $2.00 a share or $200.00. WHY? It's just the same in the coal business.
3. The conservative coal dealer tries to "be fair. lie says, if it is a long strike, coal will advance and probably be higher for next winter's use than it is today. If the strike is hort, coal, because of lower wages and freight reductions, will be cheaper. Mr. Buyer, you must be your own judge.
4. Whether you buy now or wait until the strike is over, don't fill your bins with "cheap" coal. Only the best quality coal will store safely and give you results next winter. If you want to play safe, get your coal in before housecleaning, and have no worries. Buy now, but be sure you get good coal and full weight.
5. The market has been flooded with "industry" coal. Are you willing to fill your bins with it? There is mined in the various districts high-grade coal, suitable for hospitals, office buildings,, apartments,' private homes, etc. The reliable dealer will give you the best advice.
6. During a strike or shortage the established, reliable coal yard must favor the customers on the books. It's a proposition of first come, first served. The reliable dealer generally carries a stock of good coal at all times; in other words, he holds thy umbrela.l Please, Mr. Customer, don't try to get under that umbrella the very last minute. If you expect help, make your connection with a permanent, reputable coal dealer before you find your bin empty, or, what is worse, filled with an inferior grade of coal.
A sales representative of an established yard called on the owner -of a garage. The garage man said: "During the war I called on your company, but you couldn't take my order. You said you had as many orders on your books as you could comfortablyhandle. I called another company and they said they could fill promptly all the orders I could give them but at a price." The wise salesman replied: "If you just bought a car and was looking for a garage, and you found in the same neighborhood three',. or four garages filled to capacity and another half filled would you wonder why ?" , "v It is hoped there will be no severe shortage, no high prices and no suffering or violence. In any event, you are aware of possibilities. J
