W'.ii. Mustard Is wearing a "Sun ny J tin" smile these days. The cause of part of his exuberant good lint lire Is the fact that he won twelve It ret and second prizes on vegetables at the late county fair, among them being llrst and second on onions This, It would seem, Is enough to make most any person optomlstlc. Hut Glen has yet another and better cause to feel good. When the judges awarded the V. F. King prize of a 1125 farm wagon for the best team of geldings the prize was landed by Mr. Mustard.
