But flour from Spring wheat Dries Out Quickly and you are eating Crists in 24 hours. That’s Why Purity Flour holds its moisture loogdr—because we use nothing but Barry county wheat.

We have testimonials from many of our patrons whureaHted from. $100 to $700 more than-they expected from their Auction Sales. lat-Because the BANNER is read tn nearly every home in Barry County. 2nd-Bepauee the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their own homes at times when they have tbe time and dis­ position to read them. 3rd-Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. . ' With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the "irrepressible kid” soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were Worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale advertisments draw people from ail over the county and we have advertised many sales at which people have been present from every township in the county. They were prewnt because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared to bid. ' arn and also overhaul hia old'one Mking him about 3!xl0k feet of am room with a gamble roof.

One of tbo severest critics of this system in vogue is President Hili of tbe Great Nott hern road, which has been bene­ fited to Un- extent of millions of dol­ lar* invar tore thrtrngb tho transporta­ tion of folks to these land drawings. In speaking ot the Flntbrad Indian reservation drawing In western Mon- •per cent of tbe people who registered had n chance to draw any land at all. while a good share ot tbe claims which were thrown open to entry, were well nigh worthless. Ho concludes: “I have positions In the east and went out there, only to ba bitterly disappointed. The thing is entirely impracticable and on tbe order of a swindle to take the people's money away nnd give it to the railroads.” In view of such a con­ demnation as this, coming as it does from a beneficiary of the system nt Uncle Sam might well see bis way clear to devise a more Just and less expensive method of disposing of bls public domain. the country feel much pleased over tbe prospect of tbe clam hatchery which Is to be erected at Falrpcirt, a llttlo town near Musyktlue, In.

That’s why it commands the highest prices in the markets. It’s also the reason why many.jniilers mix Spring Wheat, which is Cheaper, with the good Michigan Winter'wheat whicji costs more. Those who mix in the spring wheat can Beduce the Cost of making their flour, but the mixture Always Shows in the flour.

People generally don’t give the ice question due consideration. It’s a household NECESSITY, and it makes a lot “of difference to YOU where YOUR ICEWM^ES FROM. We get- every pound ot'our ice from Long Lake. It’s a deep lake and is fed entirely by springs. Long Lake has no inlet, but a good sized stream flows from it. It’s a deep lake ot pure spring ivqter and nothing else. Ice partaken of the qualities of the water. Ice from pure deep water is much better, purer, and cleaner than ice from any uhaliow water, because the scum and filth from shallow water is sure to manifest itself in the ice. There is no better, purer, cleaner lake water in Michigan than the water in Long Lake. For several weeks past we have been harvesting the fluent crop of ice'from Long Lake that was ever seen in Michigan. The ice is from 10 to 12 inches in thickness, and is “justas clear as crystal.'’ We would he greatly pleased to have you call at our ice houteand ’ judge for yourself’ as to its quality. Yon will agree that you never saw purer^ cleaner ice, in your life, and it don't cost you any more than the other kind; r We have also added very largely to our ice house capacity. In ad­ dition to our very large ice house in Httstiugs, we have also erected-another large ice house at Long Lake, which we have filled. This will insure an ample supply of the very-best ice to every one who fakes ice from ns. . Our ice houses are built 6n the very best and most scientific princi­ ples. The ice comes out at the end of the season just as good and solid as it was thq day it was put in. Ice that is stoitnl in a cheaply made building will not keep, as the ice melts down Mid; and yon will see white streaks nihiring down thecgrain of the ice, making it iwrous and spontfy.^ Such ice hasn’t-the cooling «»r lasting qualities of good solid ice, because the life is gone. It’s dead and falls to pieces rapidly.

EFORE You order ice for the coming snmmer ae would like to have you call at our ice house and SEE th»- crop of ice we have har­ vested from Long lake. It is the BEST ICE that was ever offered the people of Hastings. It’s "clear as crystal,’’ and it won’t cost you any more than the other kind. Lnng lake is fed WHOLLY by living springs. It has no inlet, but a good sired stream flows from it It’s a very DEEP lake, and ice from DEEP WATER IS ALWAYS THE BEST, because there are no imparities so common to shallow water ice. IceiHrtakes of the quality of the water, >o it makes a great difference TO YOU WHERE YOUR ICE COMES FROM. y During the h^tjurmner months, which will be hem almost “before you know it,” you will use ice for poling your drinking water, making lemonade, cold tea, cold coffee, and for a great number of other purposes. If there are any germs or filth in the ice you gi t, you will certainly get them. There isn’t any better, purfr lake water in Michigan than Long lake water. That’> why the ice from Long lake is in *nch great demand, not only in Hastings, but rn Kalamj<zoo nnd many points adjacent to it where it is possible to get Long lake i< e You take ice from any shallow water lake, nnd the scum and decay­ ing vegetable mat'er is ceriain to affect the QUALITY <»f the ice. It can’t be otherwise. And those who use that kind of i« e should fully realise what mav result from its use With Lo- g lake lee yon absolutely RUN NO RISK We have-just completed another large ice house nt Long lake -which we have filled.

WEAVER, Cislis Tmir J Reading, Michigan YOU SHOULD BUY A LANSING SILO Here are a Few of Our Satisfied Customers OU ARE GOING TO BUILD A SILO. You are an enterprising farmer and you cannot afford to be without this GREATEST of all MONEY-MAKING farm economizers. You are. going to build a Silo because YOU NEED .IT. You will see the day when Silos are as compion as wind mills. All the great Agricultural states have tested the Silo and thoroughly tried it out, and have pro. nounced it the surest money-making investment that any farmer can maKe. So if you are engaged in farming TO MAKE MONEY, you are the man who NEEDS a Silo, and will HAVE one. If you are one who DOESN'T CARE to make money, then you wont be interested. Y « T.C.

We furnish FREE a list of DIRECTIONS and ILLUSTR.ATIONS and * v SUGGESTIONS to erect the Silo, which is very simple and can be erected by local help. The Lansing Silos are-the easiest of all to set up, as all the material is perfectly machined. It is not necessary to send a man from the factory, but if you should/want an experienced Silo mechanic, you can get one, for his expenses and a reasonable, amount for his time while absent from the factory. Naturally, with an expert Silo mechanic used to doing the work," the Silo can be put up in less time, and often with less expense to the buyer. But most farmers put up their Silos themselves, with' the aid of farm help. The price of a Lansing Silo is very reasonable. You cannot get a GOOD Silo for less money, - and there are'many which cost a great deal more, that will not give you the years of perfect service that you will get • from a “Lansing” Silo. ‘These decisive points of superiority are what make the “Lansing” Silo the choice of hundreds add hundreds of the best, most practical and most successful farmers in the country, and they are points you should carefully weigh be(ore buying a Silo.

Do you know of any SUCCESSFUL manufacturing instir tions that made as good a product at the end of the first two or three years as they did at the end* of fifteen, twenty or ' thirty years?. No. it doesn't stand to reason. Why not? Because the fir&t years of business are large­ ly experimental. In any successful business it takes the accumulated experience of years of successful manufacture to land near\the goal of perfection. Close application, and study and thought suggest “new ways” and “better ways” . of doing things. That's where you get progress. . Any man eiyi grind wheat into a product that resembles flour, but it wouldn’t have any commercial value, because you couldn’t make anything out of it. It s the knowledge of selecting and grading wheat; KNOWING HOW to “work" the grain while in process of manufacture; knowing S what this machine will do, and that one, and-a hundred and one other things. A,man can’t learn it all in five years nor twenty-five. Every year “experience” teaches some new lesson. We’ve had-3i> years of successful manufacturing exper­ ience. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you get the accumulated benefits of the “most experience to' your money.” . from French’s White Lily Flour you are not swallowing*anybody's mistakes. That’s why it’s the cheapest and best you can buy Try it and you’ll be convinced. Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

WHAT WE 00 WE DO WELL “IF I HAD MONEY” How Often Wo Hear That Expression Why don’t you have money? You have some occupa­ tion., You draw a salary each week, or perhaps each month. Why don’t you place a portion of your wages in the bank? There are very few people but what could manage TO SAVE SOMETHING EACH WEEN out of their earnings if they were determined to do so. This is especiaUy true of scores and scores of young men who have no one but themselves to look after. Too many of them are wantonly wasting the fruits of the BEST YEARS OF THEIR LIVES. They are mortgaging their future to have what they call “a good time” now. A dollar is spent foolishly here, another one there, the weeks go by, and NOTHING SAVED. Later on ip life these same young men will “wake up”, to the fact that the best years of their lives have been “wasted,” They have nothing to show for them. It’s then that you hear many of them say, "Oh If I hid Only saved my money when I was young. I-would have been well fixed to-day." AND IT IS TRUE. THERE ARE SCORES OF YOUNG MEN IN HASTINGS TO-DAY WHO WOULD HAVE AN INDEPENDENT FORTUNE IN TEN YEARS "IF” THEY WOULD "SAVE THEIR MONEY." And they would be better off “in every way" for having made the sacrifi­ ces necessary to accomplish the saving. There is pleasure and satisfaction in KNOWING that "you are getting ahead in the world" that far more than offsets the Wit hr hla wife to bend him to her passing pleasures of the “good time" you THINK you are having.

For Everybody One of the most essential requisites of a successful and reliable real estate agent is honesty. An agent may know the value of property and be a good Salesman and yet if he lacks the element of honesty he is not the man you want to sell your property, or that you wish to buy through. A tricky man is just as apt to “do” you as he is the other fellow. All deals should be open and above board, and not pulled off by means of mis­ representation or tricks. I would rather not sell your property than to have the repu­ tation of being “tricky.” . M. IV. HickA Huntings. Mich Burdette Sutton, Mich.. 1st cockerel.-92% • 3rd.cpckngel, 91%. 3rd pen 1S3.

It ADDS 40 per cent to the VALUE of your corn crop over the OLD WAY of harvesting. A Silo enables you to take care df your corn crop when it is AT ITS BEST, and which it left, longer would depreciate in value. ' • a ThoreJs a SAVING in the cost of taking care of thr corn crop-by placing it in a Lansing Silo, the total cost of cutting and filling varying .from 30 to (io qents a ton. You get MUCH BETTER RESULTS from silage than from theOLD’WAY of feeding because there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WASTED OR REFUSED. . ▼ ♦ ♦ Having a Lansing Silo on your farm makes you absolutely independent of wet and dry weather, poor pasture and late springs, by feeding silage. . » Y When you feed silage you get MORE for your st ock when they are finished or sold, by the slick, ■ shining coats they have. . .

He *■,' Uutetnd to by an attmtlve audlence nnd I* doing thr cauw of Tlie most important material consideration today is that of maintaining and restoring soil, fertility. It is not difficult to understand why this is so impor­ tant when wo think of the millions of- people who require tons of food stuffs x each year. If the soil is kept up to a high standardI of productivity, the world, goes on in its march of progress. Deplete the soil of its fertility ana the world goes'hungry.- Mr«.. MHII. KNOW THE SOIL "Know the Soil" is a good motto for every farmer who wduld he progressive. He should experiment to find out to what treatment the soil will best respond In determining this he should profit by the experience of others. I lie farm papers all over.the codhtry are conducting extensive.tjducational campaigns on soil fertility. The agricultural department of the U. 8. publishes thou­ sands of reports from experts who are busily studying soil conditions ana. treatment both at home and abroad. • VALUE OF MANURE BY TON Metlipdlat cliuruh In thin [dace. • J<te Jactation and wife nerr in Ionia Friday. .

February 20th. । *T atanrd out on the theory jthat the world had an opening for me. The value of the fertilizing constituents of manure according to the Agrjcul' tural reports, is from >2.50 to $7.00 per ton. It Is worth much more than when increase in crop yield is considered. Fanners need never worry about their soil being depleted if they apply sufficient manure to the soil before any of its value is lost. Don’t allow it to-lay from early winter until nexp fall. The value is from one half to two thirds less, than whep kept drawn and spread evenly on the soil. To accomplish this successfully use a Kemp s^.Oth century Spreader, it is up-to-date and superior to Other makes. If you are thinking of buying a spreader you should..call and see thia one before you place your order. You can then see its superior points much better than you can gain any idea by reading this advertisement. > . Bold by, . Stowell & Wunderlich GENERAL MERCHANTS.

Phone 95 Hastings, Mich I �ALL HARNESSES AT LAST YEAR’S PRICES Doubtless you know that there has been an increase in the price of Hamess and all kinds of Leather Goods. We bought our stock of Harnesses before the prices were advanced, and we are going to give customers the benefit of our fortunate purchase. That means that all who buy harnesses of us now, will get them at last year’s prices. We handle the famous Armstrong & Graham line, and there are no better goods made. Nothing but the best selected stock is used, and the harnesses made by them are made upon honor. Bear in mind that these special prices will continue only as long as our present ,stock lasts, because when we order again we will have to pay more money, and therefore will have to charge a higher price. Spring work will soon commence, and if you need a new harness it will pay you to buy HOW while you can buy at last year’s prices. We have handled the Armstrong & Graham line of harnesses for years. We know they are right and they have given the very best of satisfaction to our customers. * * ♦ ♦ * « ♦ ♦ * ♦ ♦ J Z ♦ t Hrtf'cp RIzUlLptQ lit CaqI ^ave a nace stoc^ torse blankets that we will close out at COSt rather than carry them over.

NUMBER 44. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2. 1U1O. FIFTY-FOURTH YEAR.’ FALSEHOODS ABOUT [ THE WAY These are momentous days. The civilized world is in a ferment of unrest. The race is experiencing the "growing pains" that presage a new and higher expression of Brother­ hood. We are becoming keenly alive to the fact that no man has a right to do that which will injure his Brother; because that works harm to the Brotherhood. • And this will inevitably lead men to realize that humanity’s good requires that each man in hjs heart shall be a lover of alt his kind. And that means the Christ come back to earth to claim his own. This old world belongs to Him. • The adjustment of the intricate problems of our time— capital and labor, poverty and wealth, extreme commercialism, the saloon, the brothel—all these demand the application of the Golden Rule. Evidences multiply that humanity is awak­ ing to the fact that the answer to them all is in Christ. We can never dp our part in the solution of these problems with­ out his Spirit; which will prepare every man to meet his duty; If we shall undertake in anger, or in.a spirit that fails to recog­ nize the real kinship of mankind, the settlement of these ques­ tions we shall fail. It is love that must find the way for mankin£ to reach this new expression of Brotherhood. Does not this call us to study anew and with loving in­ terest the story of the Great Master of Life? Ought not each to seek the guidance of His Spirit? Ought it not to become the master purpose of every life to be ruled by his gracious SptrirOf Love and Good Will to men? For all the questions of relationship of man to his fellow He is and ever will be The Way. .

Kkva Hall, h'-nllng. „ Wcdneaday .evening. March p. nti Woodland ' ' The New Drug Store Lar i Had all the drug stores of the£ther local option counties •jhyed up to the old drug law as well as did the chug stores of 3an-y county, there would have been no demand on the last legislature for such a law"governing drug stere sales of liquor |.?s that body enacted., , * But in nearly every one' of the other 30 counties there were drug stores that shamelessly violated the spirit of that law. and became nothing less than substitutes for the saloons. The old lavz was a difficult one to enforce, and these drug store'saloon rubstitutes became a crying evil. It is conceded that the new drug law effectually prevents the drug store from becoming a substitute for the saloon in . any.local option county. It makes the law effective in counties p where, tn certain localities, it was violated by druggists. ■ . . There are perfect lawful ways easily open to every man who wishes to purchase liquors for either beverage or medicin­ al uses to do so how. No one need to suffer the lack of liquors • when the way to get them is as easy as it is now from sources outside of this county. In case-of an emergency, they can be ; obtained of the drug store in the way provided by the new law. We are not framing any excuses for the npw law.. It was passed to meet a crying need in nearly all the other local option counties. It is admitted that it has met that need. ! Will-it be wise for any man to vote to bring the saloons I back with all their nuisances, abominations and demoralizing work, and have them ctfrse Barry County as they did before, p just because one does not like the new drug law? Will not that be as unwise as it would be to invite a plague of small pox because one did not like a board of healths order . for vaccination? . . . . Wjll it not be wiser tar to endure whatever discomfort one may be called upon to suffer because of the new drug law. rather than invite the saloons to come back and renew their work of debauching boys, demoralizing men. and robbing chil­ dren of a decent chance in life?, ' . ' We must all remember that a saloon is a saloon, and never was and never will be anything different than a law-breaking, demoralizing institution.

It is not'dlfficnlt to nnitanttnnd why this* is so minortaut when we think of tho million's of people who require tonsof food stuffs each year. If the soil is kept,up to a high standard of productivity, the woijd goes ou in its march of progress. Deplete the .soil of its fertility nn<h .the fvorlil goes hungry. • . KNOW THE SOIL “Know the Soil” is a good motto lot every farmer who would be progressive. He should experiment to find out to what treatment the soil will best respond hi determining-thishe should profit by the experience of others. The farm papers all over the country are conducting extensive educational campaigns on soil fertility. The agricultural department of the L’. 8. publishes thou.sands of reports from experts who are busily studying soil conditions and treatment both at. home and abroad. VALUE OF MANURE BY TON Mr. And Mrs. J. L. Higdon apo tit Sunday In Yankee Springs, the I gueata of tflelr daughter. Mlaa Bl-: M* Higdon H. J. Megd or Harbor Springs spent Tuesday night arid' Wedn#*-. day with hla cousin Hgnry Mend and family. • __ Mias Vera Manee spent Thursday The value of the fertilizing constituents of manure according to the Agricul­ tural reports, is from $2.50 to $7,00 per ton. It is worth much more than when increaselncrqp yield is considered. Fanners need never worry about their soil being depleted if they apply sufficient manure to the soil before any of its value is lost. Don't allow it to. lay from early winter until'next fall.. The value is from one half to two thirds less than when kept drawn and spread evenly on the soil. To accomplish this successfully use a Kemp’s 20th Centyry Spreader, it is up to date and superior to other makes. If you are’ thinking of. buying a spreader you should call and see this one before you place your order. You can then see its superior points much better thau you can gain any idea by reading this advertisement. , Sold by, ' Stowell & Wunderlich GENERAL MERCHANTS.

HIO F HE SELL FARMS CITY PROPERTY AND January 26, 1910 we started in business in Hastings and we must admit that we are happily surprised at the results we have obtained. We are enjoying the hearty co-operation of our old and new friends, and that we command their attention is best shown by the fact that in the few weeks that we have been doing business, and at the time of year when our business is usually at a stand still, we have managed by constant hustling to have disposed of $14,000 worth of property. We have no reason to complain and are looking forward to a very prosperous season. THERE ARE REASONS. 1st. We must acknoweledge the schooling we have received from the best real estate man ever in Barry county, Mr. C. B. Benham. It is a well known fact that he was of more benefit to Barry county than any man that ever sold a piece of property in the county. He had the system. WE HAVE THE SYSTEM of obtaining farms and city property and disposing of them that made Mr. Benham’s name familiar to every property owner. Added to this we have the physical ability which was the serious drawback to our efficient teacher. 2nd. We have to-day issued a list of farms in Barry and Eaton counties that will demand the closest inspection of any list of farms ever published in any local papers. These farms ire all new to the market, every one having been obtained within the last six weeks, and many of them have never been offered for sale before. We are not holding out to you that we are selling “cheap farms” but we maintain that right to call EVERY FARM A BARGAIN. 3rd. We have listed, and are listing more every day, houses and lots in Hastings that are for sale by people that WANT TO SELL, not people that will sell but don't want to. We are here at all. times and are only too glad to talk over any deal that may interest you. Below is a list of farms and city property that we are offering for sale that we feel we can recommend to any one desirous of obtaining a farm, or home in the city. . ■ ‘ . • cement stock tank; basement barn 30x13. h«rsr tarn 34x4*: Farm Property A—130 acres; splendid 11 room house with good cellar; good well and 3 cisterns; wind mill and stock tanka; horse bam 30x moot under U. sheep, tool shed 30x40; good hog house; granary; new hen house.

HASTINGS HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1910. ■HJTY-FOURTH YEAR. FORMER BARRY CO. TEACH­ PREPARATIONS FOR REPUBLICAN BANQUET President Taft en Local Option ’ No better evidence could be given of the desperate straits of the saloon cause in Michigan than their efforts* through falsc# statements to stay the tide against the sa­ loon.. Circjiiars are being distributed by the thousands in Michigan quoting President Taft as opposing local op­ tion. , A letter has just been received from President Taft stating that he had been misquoted irt this >aloon circu­ lar.. In an aMress to the students of Yale Univeraity April 24, 1906, President Taft was diaeuwing the duty of the citixen to maintain the supremacy of law. He refer­ red to the difficulty of enforcing laws in districts where no local sentiment existed in their favor. In that con­ nection President Taft used this statement: “THIS RESULT IS THE GREAT ARGUMENT rlN FAVOR OF LOCAL OPTION. WHICH IS REALi’LY AN INSTRUMENTALITY FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A LAW CAN BE ENFORCED BEFORE IT IS MADE OPERATIVE.” That sentence is stricken oyt of the quotation from President Taft’s address in its use by the saloon forces of Michigan. It will be seen from his own words, in the very address which the saloon forces pretend to quote, but from which they omit the above sentence, that Pres­ ident Taft not only does not oppose, but on the contrary in well measured words gives his approval to local option. This ignoble trick of attempting to make the Presi­ dent appear as the eqemy of local option and as a friend of the saloon is but a sample of the misrepresentation by means of which the saloon forces hope to deceive the voters of Michigan. - METHOOISTS CHANGE " eUlLOIHfi PUNS ER WEDDED TUESDAY Klmlra, Mich.

ACCORDING TO THE SAME STATEMENT THE EXPENSES OF BARRY COUNTY IN 1909. THE ONE FULL LOCAL OPTION YEAR, WERE $37,833-45In other words the county expenses in the one full local option year were $$,035.58 less than they averaged for the five saloon years. In other words the decrease of expenses under local option was $348.08 more than the county received from its saloon.tax.. Present indications are that Barry county's expenses this year will be fully $3,000 less than last year. . Local option is a money saver to the taxpayers of Barry county. And it must also be. remembered that a very large part of the more than $t 00,000 fprtnerly spent in saloons in this county is now spent for useful commodities or is put in the savings accounts of the banks. . of the Rain.-s Law was In the leg- I tetature.of that stale almost con- j tlnnously n.r the past twenty-nine ' years.

The saloon advocates were so' ingloricusly defeated two years ago when they conducted a campaign in the open that they will not resort to that plan this year. But it is not to be presumed that they Sre not busy. Rumors come to us of stories floating around that must have been started by some' one. Here are two of them: . They.allege that the new drug- lav/ compels a doctor to charge a mad $1.00 £pr a prescription calling for liquor, and will not permit him.to, prescribe more than 4 ounces at a time. This is an untruth. The law fixes no" limit to the amount to be prescribed, nor does it mention the price. One Hastings physician. Dr. Larppman. informs us that he has never made any charge for such prescrip­ tions when he knew the liquor was needed, and he never prescribed the liqyor when it was-not needed, nor does ■ he think the other physicians haVe made a-practice of’ charging for them. ' . • The other charge made is that ,the BANNER reu:eived-a large sum for advocating local option two years ago. and is being paid for doing sd now. This is absolute­ ly false. The BANNER has never directly nor indirect­ ly received one penny for what it has done for the local option cause: nor would we accept pay for so doing. We are interested in this cause because we believe it is right, and for no other reasoi^ All that we have done in the past in these columns or may .do in the future is done be■cause we believe local option works for the betterment Of conditions in Barry county, and because we believfe it 18th.

You consider that if you live, there is going to come a day WHKN YOU CANNOT WORK. The “Club of Destiny casts no shadow. You cannot tell HOW SOON that day may come. You may l»e stricken with illnet^: you may be thrown out of employment. Life is largely a preparatU)n_tQjn$iej tlfat time. You are enjoying good healK^Jf; your EARNING PO WER 'may be aOlsvery best. Money • 'comes easy and goes easy''. Week follows week and you are ‘ ‘nothing ahead,” but “Father Time” is relentlessly cutting off days and weeks of the B EST time of your EARNING POWER, and you are CONTRACTING HABITS an.l EXPENSES which will be HARDER for you to BREAK OFF-mA you will have to BREAK them off some time. • ’ bow look at the eaccessful young man. He is SAVING HIS MONEY. He has bis neoessary expenses figured out almost to a CENT. Every bit of his 8 URPL US he is depositing in the* Bank as a GUARANTEEot his future. He is going without things that hewould like, because he KNO B’S’ he cannot afford them. True he may not be as "popular’’ with a certain set as some others, but ‘’popularity” is a fickle thing, and "buying” it is EXPENSIVE. But he,does have the RESPECT of all, and especially the CONFIDENCE of those who are in a position to help him if be should need it,- He is getting his enjoyment in knowing that he is "getting ahead” in the world", and fortifying himself against the "RAINY DA Y'- that must come to all who live, fn a few years he will have a competencyhe will be pointed out as a SUCCESS. He can take life easy if he wants to. Isn’t that better than-trying to buy a fleeting popularity. or investing your money in things you cannot afford?

It is not difficult to understand why this is So impor­ tant when we think of the millions of people who require tons of food stuffs each year. If the soil is kept up to a high standard of productivity, the world goes on in ita march of progress. Deplete the soil of its fertility and the world goes hungry. KNOW THE SOIL “Know the Soil” is a good motto for every farmer who would be progressive. He should experiment to find out to what treatment the soil will best respond In determining this he should profit by the experience of others. The farm papers all over the country are conducting extensive educational campaigns on soil fertility. The agricultural department of the U. $. publishes thou­ sands of reports from experts who are busily studying soil conditions and treatment both at home and abroad. . VALUE OF MANURE BY TON The value of the fertilizing constituents of manure according to the Agricul­ tural reports, is from $2.50 to $7.00 per ton. It is worth much more than when increase ip crop yield is considered. Fanners need never worry 4bout their soil being depleted if they apply sufficient mauurd to the soil before any of its value is lost. Don’t allow it to lay from early winter until next fall. The value is from one half to two thirds less than when kept drawn and spread evenly on tho soil. To accomplish this successfully use a Kemp’s 20th Century Spreader, it is np-to*date and superior, to other makes. If you are tliinking of buying a spreader you should call and see this one before you placq your order. You can then see ita superior points much better than you can gain any, idea by reading this advertUement. ’ Sold by, ‘ - . Stowell & Wunderlich GENERAL MERCHANTS.

In the line of Ladies’ Ready-Made Suits we have a much larger and better stock in Serges, Broadcloths and Worsteds than ever before, the prices ranging from $12.50 to $30. Our Ready-Made Suits have solved the “dress-making" proposition for a great many ladies^ They have found that they can come here and get a suit all ready-made for them, for about the same amount that it would cost to have a suit made, saying nothing of the cost of materials, and the time and trouble of making. Our Ladies’ Ready-Made Suit department has proven one of the most .popular features of our large department store. It is in charge of Mrs. Fannie Tower, who will make any needed alterations without expense. The result is that here the Ladies can get a ready-made suit, just as well made, of just as good material, and of the very latest style for a great deal less money than what they would have to pay for a suit, equaDy as good, made for them. No matter where you live, come and see the nice things we have for you.

It’s a matter of getting the right wheat, and KNOW: ING HO JU to use -it after you get: it.. Out­ side mills do not grind Michigan wheat, and therefore cannot compete with Michigan Hour in QUALITY. You get a sack of French’s White Lily Flour And you always know the result* will be good right from the start.* The uniform quality. the flavor, the lightness of your bread and pantry will make yon a firm friend of French's White Lily Flour. The assurance of the best results to its users is backed up by our guaran­ tee, which is printed on every sack. We guardm tee every sack to please the purchaser. If it does not, yon can return it to your Grocers and get your money back. There’s a pleasure and a satisfaction in making flour of such.high quality as French's White Lily, that is only equalled by the pleasure and satisfaction of the pur­ chaser who uses It. The present high standard of French’s White Lily iu the flour trade was not attained itf one year. It represents the gradual improvements gained through 86 years of successful manufacture. That’s worth a lot to every user of French’s White Lily. Middleville Roller Mills R. T. FRENCH, Propr. Middleville, Michigan reasonable prices by Heath. Phono 1X7. Kate Jilts BANNER SOPHIA a. WOOD W.

In selecting wall paper you need a nice, light place. We-have the back part of our store especially fitted up for that purpose, arid lend every assistance possible, in aiding you to suitable selections. . ■- - . . . .

Every bit of his SURPLUS he is depositing-in the Bank as a GUARANTEED his future. He is going without things that he would like, because he KNOWS he cannot afford them. -True he may not be as “popular” with a certain set as some others, but “popularity” is a fickle thing, and "buying” it is EXPENSIVE. But he does have the RESPECTot all, and especially the ^CONFIDENCE of those who are in a position to help him if be should need it. He is getting his enjoyment'in knowing that he Is “getting ahead” in the world, and ' fortifying, himself against the “RAINY DAY" that must come to all who live.

There are many bargains on our list waiting for the one who can see them. The trouble with most of us is we can't see a bargain till some one, who does his own thinking, gets it, then we go and offer him something for his bargain. Some of the property on our list has been listed for sometime, in fact before prices advanced, and much of it was listed during the last six months.

Buyers of Farms aud Homes want to locate in time to begin spring work. The snow has melted and buyers can ‘‘look’’ at farm property from this time on. With our extensive advertising we ant bringing many people to Bayry county from other states to look at the farms we have to sell. Last week we sold TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF FARM PROPERTY. That shows that WE ARE DOING THE BUSINESS, anti that WE KNOW HOW. We can get a BETTER PRICE for YOUR FARM than YOU CAN GET YOURSELF. If yon sold it you would ■ell to some neighbor who would pay the “GOING PRICE”. We sell to people- who-come from other states, where farm property commands higher prices, and who will pay higher prices when they buy. Our aervice is WORTH DOLLARS to you. All we ask is a reasonable commission. • We want more farms to sell in Barry county. If you want to sell your farm or home list it with us. WE ARE DOING BUSINESS. We have personally inspected every farm op our list and know that each one of them is worth the money. We will not list a farm for more money than we know it is worth.

In the line of Ladies' Ready-Made Suits we have a much larger and better stock in Serges, Broadcloths and Worsteds than ever before, the prices ranging from $12.50 to $30. Our Ready-Made Suits have solved the "dress-making” proposition for a great many ladies. They have found that they can come here and get a suit all ready-made for them, for about the same amount that it would cost to have a suit made, saying nothing of the cost of materials, and the time and trouble of making. Our Ladies’ Ready-Made Suit department has .proven one of the most popular features of our large department store. It is in charge of Mrs. Fannie Tower, who will make any needed alterations without expense. The result is that here the Ladies can get a ready-made suit, just as well made, of just as good.material, and of the very latest style for a great deal less money than what they would have to pay for a suit, equally as good, made for them. No matter where you live, come and see the nice things we have for you. . * The mQ3t popular shoe in America No 3x43—Ladies Tailored Suits, 3 button American Lady Shoe semi-fitted, long roll collar, satin trimmed, silk serge lining, pleated skirt yoke effect. 77.

Who knows where the word ‘■Piccadilly" originated from, the name of that won-, darful street of which It is written that "some make lord and some make poetry In PkcadlllF The street was built by a tailor named Higgins, whose fortune was mad* in a kind of collar caDbd'Flccadcl or Pickadill or Plccadllley, which was worn by all the beaus of the day. Of course it la not meant that the street as It stands to­ day was built by him, but he erected a few bouses to which he gave the name the street now bears.—London Saturday Review. • A Man ef Straw. Many years ago in England men could easily be found to give any evi­ dence nppn oath that might be re­ quired. and 'some of thee* persons walked openly in Westminster ball With a straw in one of their shoes to signify they wanted employment as witnesses.

We banished them two years ago. Why restore them now when the only excuse for doing so is that public nuisances ought to be maintained in order to gratify some one’s selfish desire to drink in­ toxicants in such places? The. sajoon is an abomination, a curse to any com­ munity,, a debaucher of boys, a corrupter of politics, a demoralizing, degenerating plague spot. What reason or excuse can be urged-for'bringing such an abominable nuisance back into Barry county, flow that we are well ridden of it? . * Think it over, voters of Barry county, and ask your selves if it will not be wise for Barry county to adopt the NO SALOON POLICYand no saloons as a fixed policy? There's a way to do it, and to do it so decisively that no one will question the action. It is certain that Barry county will go dry by a good majority. If that majority shall be as large as, or larger than, it was two years ago, those who want the saloons back will understand and in­ terpret such a majority as meaning that Barry county has adopted the No Saloon Policy, and will know that it will be useless to revive the question for many years to come. Will not that be wise? Let us settle the-question for years to come by rolling up an overwhelming majority_ against the saloons. .

All reports indicate that every township in Bsrry county and every township within the trading radius of Hastings, will roll up large majorities against saloons. What does this mean? It means that the farm­ ers of Barry county have no use for saloons.- They have every feason and every right to vote that way,.because they have to bear their full share of the wretched condi­ tions produced by the saloons, and receive no compensat­ ing benefits. Nor are there any benefits to any man from aaloons. .. Hastings has desired to cultivate (he good will of the farmers of the-surrounding townships. Can there be any better way to do so than to roll up such a majority against the saloons as will evidence our purpose to favor the wish of the»farmers to keep these nuisances out of Barry county? Hastings can do no better thing for its own good thsn to vote "dry" next Monday by a good ma­ jority,-and to elect aa officers men who will enforce the Jocal option law as well as all other laws that make for the public good. Hastings can- do no better thing to get and keep the good will of the farmers in its trading radius than to favor local option by a good majority, and enforce the law thoroughly.

When you open the oven door, this upper door remains closed, thus retaining tbe heat in the oven and preventing it from rushing out into the operator's face. This device is original and exclu­ sive and can not be found on any other range on the market, We put this on the "MODERN RENOWN" only. There is a large fire box with extra heavy linings and plenty of air space at back of linings to prevent them from burning out. See the raised Pan Top, the most ingenious device on the market, It’s , very convenient for replenishing co^l, also for broiling or toasting. There’s a direct draft damper rod mounted on outside of range. _ It does not come in contact with fire, and consequently cannot burn out or warp. . - -The “Renown” is the BEST STOVE you can get for YOUR.

To vote in favor of No Saloons in Barry county you must vote of, himself he didn't got any better. Couldn't I obtain a leave even for a few days? « Shall the manufacture of liquors and the liquor traffic be prohib­ ited within the county?” . YES << Shall the manufacture of liquors and the liquor traffic be prohib= ited within the county?” NO If any voter wishes local option con­ tinued in Barry county he should “PUT A CROSS (X) IN THE TOP SQUARE” before the word “YES.” . That is to keep the saloons out of Barry county, you must “ PUT A CROSS IN THE TOP SQUARE,” before the word “YES” as Follows: (X) YES Every local option worker should get busy from now till election day, and see that such mean deception as ttyis of which we speak shall miscarry. It is/on a par with what you might expect from the saloon side of the case. In every township, and voting precinct are brewery SECRET WORKERS for the saloon. The.... - - millions are being poured out lavishly to" defeat local option, and. especially to do so in a county like Barry. This enemy of the home, this foulest of all infamous trusts, the Brewery Trust and the Whiskey Trust, will do everything possible to win'in Barry county. Every man who favors the home as against the saloon; who favors decency and good morals and citizenship, to which the saloon is opposed; every one should go to the polls next Monday and “Put a Cross in the Top Square ” before the word X] YES on the Local Option Ballot. ■■■ ■ NUMBER 48.

One time her baking will l>e good; next time it'will he “something awful.” • -Nibe chances out of ten tlnr^anlt waa not hers, but she accepts all the blame. She loses confidence ip herself: she loses interest in her" baking: if she isn’t careful she will lose^all, desire to become a a good cook. French's White'Lily Flour has started many a discouraged woman on the pathway to become a "good cook,” and there are REASONS WHY. It’s made of the best grain that money can buy: ground by the best of machinery; in a mill that runs night and day the year round, and operated by whter power, the best, smoothest and most economical power known. That's why French’s' White Lily Flour is "AL­ WAYS THE SAMEU'^ always the best, und doesn’t cost any more than the ordinary kind of Hour. DO YOU HAVE BAKING TROUBLES.' Get rid of them.

CHIDESTER The Leading Clothier 99 We all take off our hats to the man or boy who “does things;’’ who brings "RESULTS." Success in life is not altogether expressed in DOLLARS, and it is well that it is so. Bnt have x you ever noticed how those who preach the doctrine of other . assets. ALWAYS PAY TRIBUTE to the fellow wfiohas THE REAL MONEY, and “makes things 00" It doesn’t make any difference HOW MUCH we may admire those in other callings, if . they are NOT MAEIJ^G GOOD', if they are NOT GETTING ON IN LIFE they are blamed for their failures. We could cite a good many cases of young men right here in Hastings, and on farms in this vicinity, who are ’Jf.-lA"* ING GOOD. They have SA VED THEIR MONEY; they were FAMILIAR WITH VALUES. When the opportunity came to invest their savings to good advantage, tlfey HAD THE MONEY. They are MAKING THEIR MONEY WORK FOR THEM, and THAT'S the SECRET OF SUCCESS. . But it’s the old, old story, “You cannot have your cake and eat it” You ca.nnot spend every #5.00 you get for a good time, or some sport or amusement, and expect to get on in the world. It can’t be done. “Salt” your first huridied dnllars'ae fast as yon can and keep adding to it EVERY WEEK ns much as you can.

I have told-yon alxitit the sujieriOr' qualities of the Flanders in a reepnt advertisement in the Banner, showing yon HOW and BT/T'its a regular $1,000 automobile for $790. Now I ,nu going .to tell you some­ thing about REPAIRS. There are a good many automobile manufacturers who sell their machines for r. good, big, round price, and then ROB THEIR PATRONS ON REPAIR BILLS Now the makers nf Flanders Automobiles do not do business on. that plan. They give their customers A SQUARE DEAL. Anyone can buy all the various parts of a Flanders machine for the regular price the machine cost. For instance, take the "FLANDERS ..’0” shown above. You can buy every part seixiratelu [orjuiit what the whole machine costsC and that’s true of every machine made by them. That’s 117/1”the REPAIRS un a Flanders- machine COST LESS than repairs for any other machine on the market. The makers give their customers .1 SQUARE DEAL. | Tim manufacturers of the Flanders machines stand back of EVERY OPvClQn . J GENT of the Company, no matter WHO. hg. is, nor. JP//A7?A'he is located.

GOOD LIVERY WANTED t NUMBER OF FIRST-CUSS MEN If you are going to use Ice this year, here are THREE POINTS we ask you to consider •« X Tbe accessibility of our ice house. It is located in the very heart of the city. This .is of 1ST VALUE to every'user of ice. Some times during the season you’ll "run out” of ice; perhaps company may come; or you want to entertan. You’ll find you’ll want'an extra supply of ice and you’H ▼ Want ft Quickly. That’s where we can be of great help ttryou. Tiiat’s one reason why we had our ♦ large ice-house built right in the heart of the city— We want to please our customers. t ♦ q -j The ice yon get from us will always please you, because it is better PRESER VED ♦ fclTa anti CLEANER than any other ice you can get, and therefore our ice will .♦ last longer. When you haul ice several 'miles over dusty, roads on a hot day the ice melts ♦ ntpidly and gets "honeycombed” before it reaches your ice-box. "Honeycombed” ice is dead ice', the ♦ life is out of it and it hasn’t the cooling or lasting properties of our ice, which only has to be hauled a ♦ few blocks and reaches you in just as solid a state as bn the day it was cut. And hauling ice for miles < over hot dusty roads covers ti.e ice vith dust and filth which must come off either on your laipn, or in 4 your ice box; and perhaps some of it in the ice water, or cold drink you prepare. O hzI -Our ice is of the best quality In order to get first class ice, you must have first class waterjto + OlCI secure it from. You can’t harvest-good, iee from a frog pond, nor from dirty, muddy* water saturated with decaying vegetable matter. Kekt time you go along Long lake just notice the water; see how clear and pureit is. It couldn't be otherwise because Long lake is all fed from pure living springs. It hasn’t any inlet, but a good sized stream flows from at, and it’s a very deep lake. * Phone U» About Our Special Price for Aprfl. phtaletans gave me up.

BANNER. | CIRCULATION 5,000 ] HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 27. 1910. , A Significant Socialist Triumph Th. sweeping success of lhe socialists In the- recent city election Rd. to learn that In staid, conservatlve'Mllwaukec. the new party had captured every city office, a large majority of the aldertnsn, and had 7,100 plurality In the nearly .70,000 vote. cast... The country was still more'aatonlshed* to learn that the mayor elect was n wood carver*hamed Seidel, a representative of the skilled artislans of the city, an In­ telligent; home-loving German. The new mayor had never sought office, and election day worked at his trade all day, seemingly oblivious of the fact that a contest In whlcb he was Involved wu going on In the city.

A History of Our Growth In the Retail Furniture Line Only a few year* ago we started in the retail furniture tueinect in Hasting! in a email way. We had'a email stock of furniture in a single etore. Q_ complete knowledge of the Furniture business and KNOWING HOW good, reliable furniture should be made. We hadn't been in business long before we found cut that our SUCCESS lay in the direction of giving a BIO MEASURE OF VALUE for EVERY DOLLAR that was spent with us. We laid the foundation of oiir'busineu upon tbe enduring principles of HONESTY, LIBERALITY and a “SQUARE DEAL" for everyone . Our business prospered. From our KNOWLEDGE of the furniture business we KH EW a BARGAIN when we saw one. Our llttlajftore soon gfew TOO SMALL,and we moved into the targe DOUBLE STORE where we are now located IwHastlngs. We toon had the TWO STORIES'of this large Double Store crowded clear to the roofywlth FURNITURE, CARPETS, RUGS. PIANOS, ETC. With our knowledge and experience ____ ..... is. ...Av.a.AA STORE “NUMBER ONE” IN HASTINGS We had gone just aa far aa we could In the way of VALUE GIVING with ONE STORE. The only wtj open for us to give STILL BETTER VALUES was to BUY IN LARGER QUANTITIES. We could not do that with only tbe ONE STORE, eo we opened another retail Forni- ____ ... lure store in BELDING. .This gave us an OUTLET for a still larger amount of Furniture. It Increased our VT||11L * ■ IJ11 MB L I) TUU||” lu ULI 0 UR “PURCHASING POWER" and enabled us to give Hill better values to our customers. .That’s a history of. A UIUIIL. I1UITIUL.II I ITU 111 ULLUII1U Tbe manufacturers of Furniture began to “take notice" .of the MILLER A HARRIS FURNITURE COMPANY. Our trade was worth something to them. Grand Rapids Is the recognlxed FURNITURE CENTER OF THE WORLD. We fqlt the need of "GETTING NEXT." We figured that If FURNITURE BARGAINS were offered anywhere, they would be offered In Grand Rapids. So we started another retail furniture etore In GRAND RAPIDS which gave us a much larger outlet for furniture; enabled us to BUi MORE and get LOWER PRICES than ever before. ____ ... . s.rx nana*_ STORE "NUMBER THREE” IN GRAND RAPIDS We were now buying all kinds of Furniture In VERY LARGE QUANTITIES, and giving customers LOWER PRICES than bad ever been quoted, which we were able to do by reason of the “PURCHASING POWER" of our THREE STORES.

Just as good flour can be made in Hastings as anywhere else in the world. WHY NOT? Just answer that question, please. I use nothing but Barry county wheat Barry county grows the best wheat for making flour that is grown in the world. That is proven by the fact that Barry county wheat commands the highest prices in the markets of the woild. So I have the best wheat to make flour from. Next I have a mill that’s equipped just as good as the best. True I haven’t as large a mill as some, but for its size it’s as good as the best. So I have the best equipment to make flour with. Next I know how to make the best flour. I’ve spent my .whole life at it. My father was a miller before me. and I was brought up in a1 mill. I’ve worked in many different mills. I’ve gained knowledge of how to make the best flotlr in all of them.

Hall ana HASTINGS CITY BANK "tK UM TH*r DOES TWIS5 EM <W RESOURCES OVER-MOO,000 USTMIS ncmui 1 �WHY WE FURNITURE; At Less Than Wholesale Prices We told you in our advertisement last week, that we would tell you this week, WHY we can sell Furniture at LESS THAN WHOLESALE PRICES —and we DO JUST AS WE ADVERTISE TO DO. Now we are not going to claim for a mirute that we would BUY Furni­ ture at WHOLESALE PRICES, and then SELL at LESS THAN WHOLE­ SALE PRICES. That would be absolutely ABSURD and FOOLISH., But at that, it wouldn’t be any more foolish and absurd thanThe statements of some Furniture dealers, who have to buy Jn SMALL LOTS at WHOLE­ SALE, and then claim to sell at LESS THAN WHOLESALE. The reason WHY we tan, and DO, sell Furniture at LESS THAN WHOLESALE PBICES is this: • We have FOUR large retail Furniture stores in HASTINGS, GRAND RAPIDS, BELDING and GREENVILLE. These FOUR large retail stores give us a BIG OUTLET for FURNITURE. They also give us a Urge “PUR­ CHASING POWER." . In January and July of EACH YEAR all the LEADING FURNITURE MANUFACTURERS OF THE COUNTRY display SAMPLE LINES of their Furniture al the big Furniture Expositions in Grant! Rapitls^jffherc .one ■ , of-wur retail stores is located. The BUYERS of Furniture from all the large . reiafi stores in the country come to Grand Rapids in January and July to "LOOK OVER THESE LINES" and PLACE THEIR ORDERS. They BUY from these SAMPLE LINES. So yon can KNOW that these SAMPLE LINES are made from BEST SELECTED STOCK and are given an EX­ TRA GOOD FINISH. In fact these SAMPLE LINES are "MADE BET­ TER," and "FINISHED BETTER" than the regular make of goods. Any furniture manufacturer will confirm that statement. ' When the Furniture Exposition is over with, the manufacturers who live at-a distance from Grand Rapids SELL THEIR SAMPLE LINES at a GOOD DISCOUNT from regular WHOLESALE PRICES. They won’t sell a SINGLE PIECE, or a FEW PIECES from their" SAMPLE LINE, but they CLOSE IT ALL OUT AT ONCE. That'theans BUYING A WHOLE LOT OF THE SAME KIND. A small retailer COULDN’T * HANDLE A WHOLE LINE, because it would STOCK HIM UP FOR SEVERAL YEARS. And as the STYLES change TWICE A YEAR it would leave him with a lot of OUT-OF-DATE FURNITURE on hand. We Buy These Sample Lines of Furniture We buy them at a good discount from REGULAR WHOLESALE PRICES. With our FOUR large retail stores, and other outlets that we have WE CAN HANDLE THEM. We SELL THEM AT LESS THAN REGULAR WHOLESALE PRICES because WE CAN AFFORD TO DO IT and leave a small margain of profit for ourselves. And it is TO OUR ADVANTAGE to sell them at a small profit, BECAUSE WE MUST MOVE THEM BEFORE THE NEXT ' FURNITURE EXPOSITION when the STYLES CHANGE. ' It all resolves itself back to the old proposition of DOING A LARGE VOLUME OF BUSINESS AT A SMALL PROFIT on EACH TRANS­ ACTION. The larger VOLUME of Ihisincss we can do, the SMALLER PER CENT PROFIT we can afford to do that,business on. That's WHY wc CAN, and DO, sell Furniture at LESS THAN WHOLESALE PRICES. It makes a rare combination of virtues—HIGH QUALITY and LOW PRICE. ♦ That’s why we can give you lower prices on Furniture than any Retail Store in Michigan, J t and Lower than any catalogue house—Quality considered. t It doesn’t make any difference where you live, we will SAVE YOU MONEY on your Furniture purchases.

Not having bad any previous connection with the furniture trade we had to build our business from the foundation. Our policy from the start has been to buy goods at the lowest possible figure and to sell them at as small a margin of profit u is consistent, aiming thereby to give our customers a little better article for a little lees money than they could be bought for elsewhere. Our trade has come from fair minded people who have made hon­ est comparison of values. Therefore our steadily and rtipjdly increas­ ing patronage is positive proof that we have “madia good.’ Our sales during the past- six months were many times what they were daring the first six months. Thus we are convinced that it does not matter so much by what name we call onr goods or what we say about them as does what we have to show you and what price we ask when you come to look for furniture at our store. We fully appreciate the fact that our succeMand growth have been due to the many people who have given us their patronage when they saw we were deserving of it. We make use of thia opportunity to ex­ press our most sincere appreciation of the, same and respectfully ' solicit them and all others to come to ub when in search of Furniture.

There are fewer parts ‘ and less working Joints than in any other corn planter made, and its always ready for “hilling or drilling." The seed plates on the New Deere No. 9 are revolved by means of pinions on the drop shaft, which is driven from a sprocket wheel on the main axle. The clutch when tripped by the check rower wire, allows the drop shaft to make one com* plete revolution, which is sufficient to accumulate on the upper .valve the required number of kernels desired in one hill. The clutch is thrown out of gear by means of the trip dog, and held until the wire again trips the valves, drops the hill and releases the clutch, which then counts out the next hill. It's a slfnple oper­ ation, The Planter is strongly made; it will last for years. Better call and see it.

We would like to have you call^anJ let us SHOW YOU HOW the OLIVER CULTIVATOR w ill ; (or itself many times over each season. • To begin with if you simply plant corn and "let it grow” the corn will be cut down or absorbed by weeds, so you need a cultivator. With the ordinary type of cultivator, working in corn planted in rows. the team perhaps-does not keep exactly over the low. You know the RESULT—oik wheel is breaking down a row of com. That means LOSS to YOU. In' a vain effort to get the gangs of the’ ordinary cultivator to straddle the othe: corn the operator swings them till he strikes the opposite wheel: the gangs don't have enough "travel’ •••MORE CORN IS LOST. At the ends of the rows, with an ordinary stiff-framed cultivator, you know how either the CORN PLANTS are TORN OUT in turning around, or else the gangs are raised and the weeds LEFT STANDING. In either event MORE CORN IS LOST. With the Oliver the team is NOT kept over lhe ROW. In turning at the end of the rows the horses have freedom,- the frame is held'over the row. the wheels are guided independently to-agreat extent of the horses . . actions.

But that the people are very fallible pi their Judgment on public matters which they do not understand Is however sometimes painfully apparent. And Americans are often unsparing critics of public men and measures when they have no grounds upon which a fair criticism may bo based. An Instance In point of a grievous error In popular judgment Is shown by what ths people thought of the purchase of Alaska at the thing of ths marvelous resources of that wonderful territory, which 4 contains as many square miles as France. Germany, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland combined. When Secretary Seward, with the vision h^hlch he bought for a song was called "Seward's Ice Box,” "Seward's Folly" "Seward’s White Elephant." and he was taxed with a purpose ta monopolise a huge Ice factory, and with attempting to get a corner on Icebergs. know the wonderful riches of'Alaska. But we know that it has more Anthracite coal than Pennsylvania; more bituminous coal than the whole Appalachian range; more copper than Montana and Arizonla; more gold than California and Colorado. Ita fisheries.are the best in the world. Aside from all this It la known to contain some of the richest petroleum fields; It Is already demonstrated that large areas of the territory have great possibilities for agricultural purposes; it has Immense tracts of timber. The known resources of Alaska are esti­ mated to be worth 130.000.000,(00 In potential value, and a consider­ able portion of the territory Is still unexplored. Il Is the richest unde­ veloped country In the world. ■ There is small wonder then that the great wealth of Alaska should tyfor Theodore Roosevelt's conservation policy and tho activity of Gif­ Tford Plnchot/lta vast coal fields, -petroleum fields and Its richest tim­ ber areas would at this very moment be the private property of the with their estimated weaUh of I5.fl00.0pp.000. Gifford Plnchot dis­ obeyed' tho orders of his chief and sacrificed his official standing. But ho brought the conservation question so pointedly before this country that the attempted grab was stayed, and public sentiment will com­ pel congress to save Alaska from the despollers, and give to the whole people a fair chare of Its marvelous wealth. Wo ought not as a nation to repeat with Alaska the folly of which wo were guilty In dealing with the public lands which our government ones own^d in the west, which we disposed of with such lavish prod­ igality. Wo gave them away, or permitted grabbers to take them, as if no mattsr wjist we gave or how much was stolen there would always remain a limitless domain forever available for those who might de­ sire virgin form,'timber, cosl and mineral lands. Ope day this country (was aroused by a ringing message from President Roosevelt, who tcallsa public attention to the fact that, except for the government re­ serves which had been withdrawn from sale or preemption, there were almost no agircultural or forest lands now pwned by the government; that wo are growing.rapidly In population, and our farm products will three times as fast as nature la growing it for us; that in their greed for quick money the coal was being taken from the mines by tho own.

While an unusual thing for a. brother to speak nt such a time, yet Prof. Kenaaton did it Jn such a tine spirit, so graciously and a privilege to have heard this brother's mi—gc. White the people of this city had known well the- matured life of Alonso E. Kenaaton. he had graduated from Darmouth college. New Hampshire, also from the taw department of our Michigan University, and had been a successful teacher, when he settled In Hastings to make this city his'home. Of his boyhood life non? here knew anything at all. for he was not given to speak­ ing about himself. Thia made It very fitting that his brother, only about a year older than himself, should speak of the forces that made him the estimable man he was, in substance . work In the world. It was a poor J turned but a mrntrer living for the tilling. Father's health was frail, an. Incland farm that re- of tho family's support.

I cannot tell you of the struggle It meant for Brother Lon to go through college. He not only paid his own way through Darmouth. but he and I had to help support the family and tee home while we did so. Likewise he paid hla own way through the law department of your own university, and sent money to his mother while he did tt. After he located In Hastings, and when h<s income was very slender, he would spare money, by the severest self denial, to to his word, upright In his dealings, clean In his life.

I have a great many more plants this year than I ever had before. For instance I had over 7000 Geranium Plants, including over 40 varieties of them, saying nothing of the thousands and thousands of other plants. I .think I will doubtless have enough to supply the demand, but if orders continue to pour in upon me as they have the past few days I will not have more than I need. Now Is the Time to Figure on Plants: for the Cemetery and Yard Let me look.after your FLOWER BEDS, URNS, - WINDOW BOXESJ and HANGING BASKETS. It wiH.be well for you to look after them early, and get the pick of them while they*are FRESH and at their very best. r>sol prices of plants I quoted in the □Publul BANNER last week INCLUDES SETTING THEM OUT. I set out all plants bought here FREE OF CHARGE, no matter whether it’s only one single plant or a dozen or more.

You are n young man and unmarried, All you have to do is to “look after yourself." The great trouble with all ‘young men like you is that in looking after “enjoyment.*’ “a good time" or whatever y6u ma, call it, they form habits that are Expensive. In a short timc-these habits possi­ bly lead to other habits that take All Your Earnings to gratify. You threaten to “Cut Out*’ these habits and Save Your Money, but you don't,do it, and lots of times you Can’t Do It. You'll never live on “Easy Street” following that plan. There's Only One Sure Way to get on “Eaey Street,” and that i» to Begin to Save Your Money at just as early an age as you possibly can, and Keep Saving.

Y The Second Full Carload of “Lion" Wire Fenced . is just in and ready to be distributed to its many friends in this section of Barry county. The Lion fence has taken a long lead of any and all other wire fences sold from Hastings. Since April 1,1906 I have received of this fence, 48,200 rode, or over 185 miles. And every buyer ia'a satisfied customer and are buy­ ing second and third orders. Scores of farmers tell me it.ls the best wire fence they have on the farm. Made of spring steel wire, heavily galvanized, and with a lock that cannot slide, and which becomes tighter as the fence is drawn up. Makes jnst the kind of a fence the farmer wants. The Lansing Trucks Have you seen one? Regular wood spoke wheel.V This ia.a wagon everyorfe.needs. Thia truck ie made by the same people that have made the Lansing wagon “famous” for so many years. Jnst the one word “Lansing’* is all the introduction it needs. 92 Lansing Hay and Stock Racksj# sold in the past three years and another carload just-unloaded^ Now is thtr time to be looking after thenj. This is conceded by all to be'thc strongest nnd best combination hay and stock rack'made, no cast arm to rattle and break, nothing but oak, just old fashion plain oak, and it carries the load too. The Syracuse Steel Plowsrf Nos. 31 and 61 are favorites among farmers where ever used, and will soon be about-the only plow sold in Hastings. Mouldboard being of high grade steel, soft center steel. This plow will‘.'scour” in any soil,’is light to handle, and will turn a furrow up hill where all other plows fail. Last year I sold twenty of these plows. .So far this year 1 have sold twenty-one. Be sure you get a Syracuse steel plowed a Syracuse Steel Frame Harrow. I will show you when you call. Then There is the Steel Land Rollers Some think I must steal this Roller to be able to njake the price on it that 1 am making, but this is a mistake. I buy it and pay good money for it.. But 1 have more of them than I need, so will let you have one for a very small margin of profit. Everyone should have a roller. 60-tOOth har­ rows see them. Wood frame harrows and Oak frames at 50c a tooth. You should have asked me the price before you paid cents a foot for ladders. And When It Comes to Buggies^ , 1 will not try to enlarge on or describe them. For twenty-one years 1 have sold buggies in.Hastings and the record I have made for honest work at honest prices 1 will let speak for itself. A full carload (jilst-twenty) just /unloaded. Every promise made good. - One other thing-i want to call your attention to. that is the “Malleable” Steel Ranged For eleven years this range has taken the lead in Barry county>«ndjs one of the articles 1 sell that I am justly proud of. Summer is hereTnaying and harvest- will soon come along. Doubtless you will need a range. Get nothing but the best. The ‘-‘MALLEABLE.” Syracuse Sulky Plow> When I started handling the Syracuse Sulky Plow last year, I didn’t ex­ pect to sell but very few of them thia year. But I have already SOLD 14 -since Jan. 1st this year, and they are all giving the VERY BEST OF’ SATISFACTION. The surest way to become convinced of the merits of a sulky plow is to TRY IT, and not take any man's word for it. You will . find the Syracuse High Lift Sulky Plow comdk nearest to being the IDEAL RIDING PLOW.of any plow inexistence to-day. SEE IT AT MY STORE place for the farm flnek.

If you are at a loss to know what you are good fo ranyway. juat slip out to the psychological or physiological laboratory of tho University of Penn­ sylvania. subject yourself to a series ot experlmenu on the machine called ths ergograph. and maybe the pro­ fessor can enlighten you as to your particular capabilities. Tho ergograph is an unpretentious looking apparatus, designed to meas­ ure a man’s mentality. It constat* of n thumb spring attached to a lever, and la so arranged as-to record the movemenu of the thumb piece on a piece of smoked paper stretched over a cylinder. The record amounts to a thin, jagged line that reminds one ot a fine toothed comb; but the psychologist sees a lot more than the faint marking on the paper. All you have to do Is- press down the thumb piece at Intervals of a second; ths machine does the rest. In one of a series of experiments performed three conclusions were reached; aa follows: •Ti\e subject accomplished more when working under the mental gtlmulas of having set a task to be accomSllshed than when working without cfinlte alm. ’’A known Impossibility to aceomSllah n required condition tends to ecreasn the subjecl’g total results.

Inlhe old days, doctors never thought of telling patients to “use coffee only once a day.’’ And.the.men and women of three generations ago were not lees sturdy because they enjoyed as' mqch of it as they could drink and as often as they wished.' . It was way back in those days that Gillie's coffees won the good name that has endured. Gradually many of the old-fine houses have ceased to exist, or have found, new owners with different policies. The Gillie's house has gone on unchanged, and the QUALITY of Gillie's Coffees is-as superior today as it was of old. Why not try it with your next order?

I PERSONAL MENTION I FreshVegetables Thanks To The People Of Barry County Frank Horton FRE.NCH STUDIO THE GROCER Barry County’s Leading Art Studio EVERYMAN’S CAR THE, BRUSH $485.00 F. O. B. FACTORY Rumble Seat and Tool Box $20.00 E,xtra Price low enough for every one Quality high enough for any one Think of it—$485 for the best built, most ’ thoroughly proven, easiest-riding, most economical, handiest small automobile jn the world! A car that is always ready to go—and when you come right down to “brass tacks,” when you investigate the design, material and workmanship of the Bru^h you will find why it is always ready to go. The little troubles which are bound to de­ velop in the ordinary automobile, never appear in the Brush. There are no complicated parts to get ’ out of order—nothing about it which the ordinary man cannot understand. That’s why you see it on the road—not in the repair shop. In the Brush you will find a car so simple in design that all the parts can be made strong enough to stand as rough’usage as any automobile in exis­ tence. You will find the best of materials, each piece t* selected for the function it has to perform. You will find the workmanship on the vital parts—the parts that mean the success or failure of an automobile—to be as good as on cars selling for ten times as’much. Naturally, you will not find as much show, as much polish; but show and pol­ ish won’t make the car run—and that’s what inter­ ests the man who wants a car to use. Don’t understand by this that the Brush isn’t well finished. In this respect it compares favorably with the high-priced, ccrs, but we want to imprc?s upon you especially the care we take with the parts that make the wheels go round. When you are examining the Brush, notice how simple is the control mechanism and how easi­ ly the car is operated. One' of our users recently said, “We have a touring car which we use a great deal, but we call the Brush our 'family car,’ because all of us drive it. I believe it covered- twice as many miles last year as our large car.’* A WORD ABOUT THE PRICE Don’t get the idea that you are getting more automobile if you pay even $200 or $300 more for a big car cut down in size to sell at a comparative­ ly low price. You will get more parts, tis true, al­ so more trouble and expense. Please remember that the Brush is the only car that is different from all others and still a proven success, . That’s why you must not judge it by its price in comparison with other automobiles, -but rather by what it has done and is doing every day for more than 3,000 users; judge it by the showing it has made in reliability and endurance contests; judge it by the practical, sensible features of its con­ struction, and by its looks. When we designed and built the first Brush we were not aiming to make something that would sell because it was different and low in price; we were not faddists in any sense of the word; we were simply business men trying to solve a big problem which we knew would present itself. . We foresaw the demand for a (far that would replace the “horse and buggy,"/just as the big touring car and limousine have replaced the team, the carriage and the coachfflan. . When the first Brush car appeared many of the wiseacres shook their heads. But regardless of what they said of did, we- went ahead. Gradually people begar^to realize what a wonderful little car we ■ had developed—and to-day the demand for Brush ears' is enormous, as "we knew it would be— and not a demand from any one territory—from any particular class, but from sane, thinking people in all parts of the world. -The Brush Knows no class—recognizes, no competition. It is the only logical successor to the horse and buggy---EVERYMAN’S CAR. �ilHHESSOF I W H CURE OF .

Each different kind is selected with the ut­ most care, and of the same bouquet from year to year,’so if you were pleased with any particular kind a year ago you can get the same flavor and bouquet today ny asking for the kind.

EVERYMAN’S CAR THE, BRUSH $485.00 F. O. B. FACTORY Rumble Seat and Tool Box $20.00 Eactrail I ft I *4 Price low enough for every one Quality high enough for any on^ Think of it—5485 for the best built, most ^thoroughly proven, easiest-riding, most economical, handiest small automobile in the world! A car that is always ready to go—and when you come right down to "brass tacks,” when you investigate the design, material and workmanship of the Brush you will find why it is al read to go. . The little troubles which are bound to velop in the ordinary automobile, never appear i the Brush. There are no complicated parts to get out ot order—nothing about it which the ordinary man cannot understand. That's why you see it on the road—not in the repair shop. In the Brush you will find a car so simple in design that all" the parts can be made strong enough to stand as rough usage as any automobile in exis­ tence. You will find the best of materials, each piece selected for the function it has tojserform. You will find the workmanship- on the vitaf parts—the parts that mean’ the success or failure of an automobile—to be as good as on cars selling for ten times as much. Naturally, you will not find as much show, as much polish; but-show and pol- ish won’t7 make the car run—and that's what inter­ ests the man who wants a car to use. Don't understand by this that the Brush isn't well finished. In this respect-it compares favorably with the high-priced cars, but we want to impress '--—1 upon you especially the care we take with the parts that make the wheels go round. When you are examining the Brush, notice how simple is the control mechanism and how easi­ ly the car is operated. One of our users recently said, “We have a touring car which we use a great deal, but we call the Brush our 'family car,’ because all of us drive it. I believe it covered twice as many miles last year as our large car.” , A WORD ABOUT THE PRICE Don’t get the idea that you are getting .more automobile if you pay even $200 or $300 more for a big car cut down in size to sell at a comparative­ ly low price. You will get more parts, tis true, al­ so rhore trouble and expense. Please remember that the Brush is the only car that is different from all others and still a proven success. ■ . That’s why you must not judge it by its price in comparison with other automobiles, but rather by what it has done and is doing every day for more than 3,000 users; judge it by the showing it has made in reliability and endurance contests; judge it by the practical, sensible features of its con­ struction, and by its looks. When we designed and built the first Brush we were not aiming to make something that would sell because it was different and low in price; we? were not faddists in any sense of the word; we were simply business men trying to solve a big problem: which we knew would present itself. We foresaw the demand for a car that would replace the “horse and buggy,” just as the big touring car and limousine have replaced the team, the carriage and the coachman. When the first Brush car appeared many of the wiseacres shook their heads. But regardless of what they said or did, we went ahead. Gradually people began to realize what a wonderful little car we had developed-and to-day the demand for Brush cars is enormous, as we knew it would be— and not a demand from any one territory—from any particular class, but from sane, thinking people ‘ all parts of the world. The Brush knows no class—recognizes no competition; It is the only logical successor to the horse and buggy---EVERYMAN’S CAR. 'Sold By BURTON CO.

Some dealers have made it a practice of. buying these poorly, made, cheaper suits, and selling them for almost as much as a good suit should cost. I was brought upt on the theory that “It Pays to be Honest.” I have always followed the policy that good Honest Values, at a Moderate Profit, would win out if-persisted in, and have always done business along that line. That it has won out, it is only necessary to point to the fact that this store is referred to by our patrons as “The Best for the Money Store.” We have always felt that our clothing was just as good as our patroh’s money, and we’re always ready to trade back if they are not satisfied. In other words we Guarantee Satisfaction, and your money’s worth in every instance. If you have any Clothing needs of any kind, including Underwear, Neckwear, Shirts, Hats, Caps etc,, just let us Show You the Values your money will buy at this store. Jiist put the “Best for the Money Store” to the test. We’ll be pleased to have you G. F.

In its 25 YEARS OF BUSINESS. Its a record NEVER EQUALLED by any MUTUAL COMPANY of this Kind. Naturally we ar? PROUD of It, because it signifies ECONOMY OF MANAGEMENT and ai SQUARE DEAL to EVERY POLICY HOLDER. In fact ECONOMY and a "SQUARE DEAL" were the FOUNDATION PRIN­ CIPLES on which this Company was organized and started. That we have been TRUE to those princi­ ples ills only necessary to point to the fact that but THREE ASSESSMENTS, of ONLY 10 CfcNTS on Secretary D. W. Rogers; who organized the Com­ pany in 1885 and has been its able and efficient sec­ retary ever since. Mr. Rogers is known as the "father" of the Company, and has seen it grow from $163,710, Assessable Capital to over $83,000,000, Assessable Capital. EACH $100 INSURED, have’,been made SINCE 1885 (25 years ago). WHEN THEfCOMPANY WAS The Beautiful new office building of the Michigan Mutual Tornado. Cyclone and Windstorm Insurance Company. It is of pressed brick, steam heated, has commodious offices for officials and clerical force, and ample fire proof vaults for Keeping its valuable record^. « STARTED. That those principles were well laid, it is only necessary to point back to our origin in 1885, when we started with 159 MEMBERS and 5163, 710 of ASSESSABLE. CAPITAL. Today we have over 50,000 (Fifty Thousand) MEMBERS, and oVer $83,000,000 (Eighty Three Million Dol­ lars) of ASSESSABLE CAPITAL. People generally haven't much of an idea WHAT IT MEANS to get out 50,000 NOTI­ CES OF ASSESSMENT for this Company. In the first place we have to make the roll. The names of the 50,000 MEMBERS are written in books, made for thia purpose, to­ gether with their POSTOFFICE ADDRESSES, the AMOUNT of each one's insurance, and the amount of his or her ASSESSMENT. After these 50,000, names, addresses, etc} have been copied in books, the blank notices of assess me n t are filled in with pen and ink. The 50.000 envelopes were addressed, the notices of assessment folded and put into the envelopes. And along with the notices of assessment, also went an ANNUAL STATEMENT, as PRESCRIBED BY LAW; a "return envelope" and a BLANK MONEY ORDER all mailed in the one envelope. Aa fast as we receive the REMITTANCES for assess­ ments, the AMOUNT will be compared with our ROLLS, and if found correct, will be credited, and RECEIPTS mailed. To get out this work, two EXTRA clerks were secur­ ed January 10th right after our dnnual meeting, and the ROLLS were MADE and COM­ PARED. About March 15th we hired three more extra clerks. These 5 CLERKS with the assistance of our regular office force, completed the work of addressing envelopes, filling in assessment notices, folding, etc. and on Tuesday, June 14 the work was all COMPLETED and mailed. .

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. . With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the ‘•irrepressible kid” soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold chQgp. BANNER Auction Sale advertlsments draw people from all over the county and'we have advertised many sales at which-people have been present from every township in the county.

The oil level is located below the top of the wick tube po that there is no danger of the oil run­ ning over and flooding the stove. By an ingenious device, it is im­ possible to turn the wick up too high, vo there is never any danger of smoke. There is absolutely no danger. of an explosion. There is nothing about the stove to get out of order, apd as they burn Kerowno instead of gasoline they are perfectly safe. The New Pro­ cess makes a hotter flame than any other. You can bake bread, cake#, plea, etc. to perfection. You can bake potatoes in 80 minutes.

Crook Hastings, Michigan WE’VE BUILT A NEW MILL! - And Installed A Complete Equipment Of The Very Latest Machinery As there is probably more French’s White Lily Flour used in this county than all other flours combined, we believe the people of Barry county will be interested in reading about the improvements we have been making in the big mill where French’s White Lily Flour is made. For the past twenty-five years our large mill has been running continuously, Night and Day,“year in and year out,” to supply the de­ mand for French’s White Lily. For the past Three Years the Demand has been In­ creasing so rapidly that we have been unable to supply it. Our large mill was run right up to its limit night and day, but still the demand was greater than our ability to supply. That "put us right up against it.” We could have But in some extra machinery that perhaps might have Tided Us Over,” but would have been only “Temporary,” and a little more Business would have again “Put Us Up Against It. «-= ? r We appreciate the very liberal patronage the people all over Barry county have given French’s White Lily Flour. In justice to our patrons, and the rapidly growing demand for French’s White Lily Flour, we decided to In­ crease otir Capacity by Thoroughly Remod­ elling our mill. And that’s what we have been busy doing ever since last March. We have taken out “Every Bit” of our machinery from "Basement to Roof" and re­ placed it with the very Newest and Best there is on the market. It’s larger, faster and better. It will enable us to make More Flour and Better Flour than ever. it his cost us a good many thousand dollars to make these changes, but we have the Satisfaction of Knowing that there isn’t a Better or More Completely Equipped Flouring Mill in the whole county than ours. We never overlook an opportunity to make French’s White Lily Flour Better, and it is a genuine pleasure to us to know that Now we are able to give our patrons Better Flour and Better Service than ever before. ” Middleville Roller Mills, EV1LLE, « T.

FIFTY-FIFTH YEAR • It Is now time to stop and take stock of Political Insurgency as opposed io Party Regularity. We in no sense endqrso all that tho Insurgents et Washington did- They may have Individually and collectively erred in many things; undoubtedly they did. for we •uspect that l£ey are quite human.'. In all probability some of them to get Into the limelight. We can think of at least one prominent insurgent whose Jove of the spot-light would Influence him to do things just to bo spectacular. But when all allowances for posing and featuring themselves not like to break with the political party -with which they .have been for a long time affiliated; and that the Insurgents were actuated mapUy by considerations that made their dissent from the a«tlon *h0 BtaJority of their -party *oem to them both right and urgent in all falrne** be conceded. Ip a targe measure the Insurgent There were Insurgents, and Near-Insurgenta; the latter confin­ ing their efforts largely to securing reforms In legislative methods, otherwise casting their votes with thel? party, whenever a majority legislation. With tho Near-Insurgwnta might bo classed Congress­ man Hamilton of this district, who did not vote tor Cannsn for the tariff bill was under consideration. “calendar day" for Congress, tho one^day In which bills might be called yp without reference to tho Speaker's wishes. Re* also stood for other reforms permitting members of the houee a larger liberty. Representative McLaughlin was alfo of tho number of those who •tool! for greater Individual freedom for members of Congress. Insurgency, which took the form of open and determined oppo­ sition "by republican congressmen and-senatofs to the-will of the ffinajorlty of their fellow ptyty memlera of the two houses, was born “y reason of the methods used to force the Payne-Aldrich schedules through Congress without regard to the rights of those who dissented Party Regularity demanded that Insurgency submit because of the claims of n>Hy regularity. Insurgency Insisted upon the right 'to te heard; tho right to fair expression of Individual view*; tho privilege of placing the claims of right, as they understood tho right, above party regularity; of " placing the public good above tho expreaeed opinion of a majority of the party membership In the house and senate. What has come of Insurgency so far? Very much for the public good, wo believe. In the first place Insurgency took from Speaker Csnqpn hl* arbi­ trary control of legislation, and placed with the majority of the house tho making of rules for legislative' procedure. No one ought to question either tho need or desirability of this action. It has succeeded in forcing such changes in the rules of the ftouae as have given Individual legislator* th* right to be heard in regard to pending legislation In which they are Interested. It has made it possible for a majority of tho house to force any committee to whom a bill has been referred to report out that bill Instead of * burying 1L The agitation begun by Insurgency against some of the PayneAldrich schedules has forced Congress to cobcdde a tariff commission Instructed to Investigate the coat of production of articles affected by tho tariff here and abroad, report their findings to Congress, with the view ot amending the Payne-Aldrich bill where it needs amend­ ment road bill which the regulars had expected to put through that body so that as enacted it gives the Interstate commerce commissi?!) com­ plete control over passenger and freight rates. In other words Insurgency has been a strong, powerful Influence What of the future of Insurgency? In the nature of things that must depend much on the "Regu- hopeful they may have done, there will be no future for Insurgency. But it will bo a living force of tremendous power, and will work mischief to the republican party. If tho Regulars fancy that they can ride rough shod over fellow legislators who have tho American . spirit of independence. We believe fully In party organisation and In majority rule. 1 THE EXCURSION TD OTTAWA BEACH IS BIVEN .Methodist Sunday tk-tiool Found I THAT'S WHAT CHASE 8.

Crook Hasttsga, Michigan Three Necessary Points IN MAKING THE BEST FLOUR . Making the best flour depends very, largely upon Three things:- lst==Knowing How. 2nd"Getting the best Wheat. 3rd—Having the best Machinery. When it comes to the “Knowing How” we can point with pride to our 36 Years of successful manufacture of French’s White Lily, which has won a reputation that is “more than State-Wide.” Anyone can pound up wheat, and get a product that 'looks like Flqur,” but it takes an artist to get the Best re­ sults. There’s a Knack about it that requires a wide ex­ perience in “Blending” wheat and handling it as it goes through.. There are a good many men who can take a brush and some paint and make a fair-looking picture, but it takes an Artist with an eye for blending coloring and perspective to produce a work of art. It takes an artist in the milling business to Know how te make the Best Flour. French's White Lily Flour is recognized as a work of art by the Flour trade of this and other states, to such an extent that our large mill has been compelled to run Night and Day for the past 25 years. In our 36 Years of experience we have built up an organization that Knows How. To make the Best Flour we must have the best wheat— and we get it. W/fe encourage farmers to raise the best wheat for us. We do it by paying a Premium for every bushel of good wheat that tests over 60 pounds to the busheL We pay the very highest prices for Good wheat, and on top of that we pay a premium of 2 cents for each bushel of good wheat that Tests 61 Pounds, and 4 cents Premium for each bushel that Tests 62 Pounds and so on. So we get the very Best wheat grown in Barry county, and there are many farmers who Grow Wheat Especially For Us. This policy has been of great help to Barry county farmers and has placed thousands of dollars extra in their pockets. | When it comes to machinery there isn't a Better Equipped mill in the Whole Country than ours. Since last March we have had a big force of men, headed by ex­ pert mill-wrights, taking out all of our old machinery and putting in a complete equipment of the Latest ana Best machinery made. The equipment we Threw Out was a Good Deal Better than you will find in many so called Up-To-Date milts. But we were determined to have the Very Best that money could buy. .So we sold most of* our old machinery as second hand and what was left was jumped on our Junk pile. . THESE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR LEADS ALL OTHERS. YOU CAN’T BUY A BETTER FLOUR—BECAUSE ITJSN’T MADE. Middleville Roller Mills, R. T.

When you’re sick you want a doctor. .When you’re in trouble you want a lawyer.

Now if you want to buy or sell a farm, home or property of any kind a Good, Live, Hustling Real Estate Agency, such as we .conduct is just as necessary for you, as is a doctor in case of sickness, a lawyer in case of trouble, or a dentist In case of dental noce-eity If you want to buy or sell real estate it will Pay You to secure the services of a good, reliable, trust-worthy Real Estate Agency. All we will charge you is a Very Small Per Cent in case we Sell your property, and it will Coat You Nothing in case we Do Not make a sale. So you see that it is entirely Up To Us to make a sale At The Price You Want, inorder to get our pay. but with the doctor, lawyer’and dentist you Have To Pay Anyway, no matter whether, you win or lose. Some people say “Ob I can sell my own property.” Yes, that’s sometimes true. • But Where do they look for Buyers? Invariably in their own neighborhood, township or . county. If they do sell they have to take the prices that generally prevail. They are invariably the people who will sell their property for 1500 less than we could sell it for just to save paying a good Beal Estate Agency a few dollars. They seem to prefer losing several hundred dollars rather than secure the services of an up-to-date real estate agency. We aie in Constant Touch with Prospective Buyers all over the country. They are people from other states where real estate^ values are Higher and who are used to paying Higher Prices for property no better than Yours. That’s Why we can sell your property to a Better Advantage than, you can sell it yourself. We will Guarantee you a Square Deal. We ask you UxLook Us Up and Inquire of others about us.

Successor to Guy E. Crook y Hastings, Michigan FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR IS BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE Because we have better machinery and more of it than ever before. With our entirely . bran new equipment, we are able to get every bit of the nutriment out of each kernel of wheat and It all goes into the flour. The thousands and thousands of people in Barry county who have selected French's White Lily Flour-*in preference to all other brands, will like it better than ever in the future. For several years past with our old equipment we had been crowded almost to the limit. We could have made more flour with it than we did, but it could only have been done by “over-crowding” and that would have low­ ered the quality of French's White -Lily, which we would not consider. The policy of this mill is to improve, and that will continue to be the policy. In the past five months expert mill-wrights and workmen have torn out every bit of the old machinery and. replaced it with larger and better machinery] which is up-to-date in every particular.. Today there isn’t a better equipped flouring mill in the Whole conutry. There are larger ones to be sure, but they have no better machinery nor do they make any better flour. And you can buy French’s White Lily Flour cheaper than you can the flour the larger mills make because you don’t have to pay the big freight. We operate our big mill entirely by water power of which we have an ample supply. We.have the force of the Lwhole Thornapple riVer to drive our-machinery. Water power is the best and most even power known. It never varies. It's always the' saipe. That's where we have an advantage over mills operated by steam power. Another big factor.that counts largely in the quality of French’s White Lily Flour, is the fact that we run night and day yeatjn and year out. In this we have another l>ig advantage over any mill that runs a few hours each day and then stops, because you can’t stop and start flour milling machinery without affecting the / quality of the flour. N If you have had "Baking Troubles” in the past, why continue using the same brand>>f_flour you’ve been using. It isn’t a knack that makes the bread and pastry so good, of all those who use French’s White Lily Flour. It’s the real quality of the flour that makes the difference. Why not try French’s White Lily Flour the next time you bake? ELvery elevator along the M. C. R. R. between Grand Rapids and ' Jackson, and every elevator between Kalamazoo and Woodbury oni the C. K. <9 S. R. R. and about every merchant in Barry county who handles flour sells French’s White Lily. • You will find no othpr brand of flour that.imparts to bread, • cakes and pastries a taste so appetizing, and no other flour which makes such light wholesome food. It’s a "perfectly-balanced” -flour and is produced under those favorable conditions of manu’ q facture that you will rarely^find surrounding flour of ai>y other make. During the past five months we’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars just to make French’s White Lily Flour a little better than it ever was before and just as good as it can be made. You never saw it lagging along in the rear; It’s always to the front and there we propose to Keep it, no matter what the expense may be. We take pride in it. It stands as the result of our life work of thought, study and our 36 years of experience in the milling business. Ask for it the next time jrou buy. Your Grocer Keeps it. ~ .

Modern Plumbing FOR COUNTRY HOMES There is nothing tliat will bring more happiness and comfort to the home than modenn up-to-date plumbing. The time was that a good bath-room and wash-stand .with HOT and COLD WATER. a seat, and HOT WATER HEAT, was available only in the city chiefly for two reasons. 1st—The expense. 2nd—On account of available water supply. Thanks to Yankee "genius” both of these objectionshave been'overcome, and there isn’t a farm home in Barry County but what can enjoy one, or all, of these blessings, and at a very LOWr PRICE comparefl with the cost that used to prevail. We have installed modern plumbing in quite a good many, homes in this county,-and the demand for it is constantly increasing. We believe farmers can better afford to put their money into good sanitary plunMnng systems and insure the HEALTH and COM­ FORT ot their families, thari'Spending-it for fine furnishings. Do away with the old wash-tub for a "bath room" and discard the old wash bowl and pitcher, in the opinion of experts the old wash-tub . bath room, and other ancient conveniences have done more to make farm life a bore, and to-drive the boys to the cities, than any other thing. If you are building a new home, or remodelling an old one, don’t spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars in costly furnishings and overlook’ the modern, sanitary plumbing conveniences. You can put in your plumbing NO IF while you are building or rebuild­ ing cheaper, than you can do it later bn. With your plumbing in you can addyour Tarhishingtr aa you wish, piece by piece, as you can afford. No matter where you live, come and see us about it, or write us. We carry a large supply of plumbers equipment, and will be glad to submit estimates on the work. If We do the work it will be DONE RIGHT. We’ll fit you up a bath room or kitchen that will make ybur heart glad, and without large expense. . £ : Goodyear Brothers, e phone i. ♦ 206-208-210 STATE ST.

THE PRICE OF CO Al Will Be Increased In a Few Weeks The prudent man is the one who buys the BEST that his money can buy, .but he also buys when the prices are the LOWEST. The price of COAL will be advanced in the next few weeks just as it ALWAYS IS. Why not take advantage of it and buy a few tons, or your winter’s supply NOW/ Anywhere from 25 to 50 cents a ton SAVED will'mean quite a saving. In HARD COAL we handle the LEIWOH VALLEY. It’s a HARDER coal than any other hard coal ^ou can find and for that reason it will BURN LONGER. You don’t have to pay any more for it than you do for the"other kind, but you get MORE HEAT for YOUR MONEY. That’s another SAVING for you.

VI.,- LiiHi I__________ ._______ ■__ ____ ■ huiu SEVERAL REASONS WHY You should patronize a live Real Estate agency If you want to buy or sail property. Last week wa sold two nice farms. Real Estate has commenced to move. Buyers hare commenced to look around. People who want to BUY or SELL are coming here because they know they will get honorable, courteous treatment, a square deal and the 3352 ol selections from the BEST and largest list ol property In tho county Vuu aon t Buy or Sell real estate every day, because that is not Your Business. You are following other lines of work, and do not bother-your head about real estate Values, Prospective Buyers, Etc. • . .. We dcy sell thousands arid thousands of dollars worth of Heal Estate Every Year because It’s Our Business. We Do keep track of Values and keep in Coqtifant Touch with Prospective Buyers all over the whole county because That’s A Part Of The Business. When you’re sick you want a doctor. When,you’re in trouble you want a lawyer, ■ When your tooth aches yon want a dentist. ^4nd you want The Best You Can Hire, and , one in whom you can have Absolute Confidence that he will give you a Square Deal. Now if you want to buy or sell a farm, home or property of^ny kind a Good, Live, Hustling Real Estate Agency, such as we conduct is just'as necessary for you, as is a doctor in case of sickness, a lawyer in case of trouble, or a dentist in case of dental necessity If you want to buy or sell real estate it will Pay You to securo tho services of a good, reliable, trust worthy Real Estate Agency. All we will charge you is a Very Small Per Cent in case we Sell your property, and it will Cost You Nothing in case we Do Not make a sale. So you see that it is entirely Up To Us to make a sale At The Price You Want, in order to get our pay, but with the doctor, lawyer and dentist you Have To Pay Anyway, no matter whether you win or lose. Some people say "Oh I can sell my own property.” Yes, that’s sometimes true. But Where do they look for Buyers! Invariably m their own neighborhood, township or county. ' If they do sell they have to take the prices that generally prevail. They are invariably the people who will sell their property for $500 less than we could sell it for just to save paying a good Real Estate Agency a few dollars. They seem to prefer losing several hundred dollars rather than secure the services of an up-to-date real estate agency. We are in Constant Touch with Prospective Buyers all over the country. They are people from.other states where real estate values are Higher and who are used to paying Higher Prices for property no better than Yours. That’s Why we can sell your property to it Better Advantage than you can sell .it yourself. We will Guarantee you a Square Deal. We ask you to Look Us Up and inquire of others about us. Better List your property with us if ytJn want to sell, or see us if you want to buy. , ...., Inrgc curing u bargain to help In furnishing enough to hold 3.000.000 gallon* «»b< a home In view of hla Intended marMl't.

F. CHIDESTER., Leading Clothier Our Modern Milling Facilities Are Not Surpassed By Any In The Whole Country That’s why French’s White Lily Flour is not surpassed by any flour in the country. It is “always the same” because it is made in the best equipped mill that money can buy. Our mill is operated by water power, and it runs steadily night and day, year in and year out. That’s why French’s White Lily Flour is always the same smooth, even product. There is more of it sold in Barry County than “all other flours com= bined.” That’s a pretty sure indi­ cation of what the people think of it, and the best guarantee of its quality. French’s White Lily Flour is better now than ever before, because we have just spent thousands of dollars to equip our mill with the latest and best machinery. -Try French’s White Lily Flour the next time you bake.

Placing your orders now, will really be an advantage to you, because it will give us more time to put on your work than it would if you ordered late, and wanted the work out quickly.

There is more of it sold to=day in Barry County than all other flours combined. The women folks nave seen other brands of flour with gaudy sacks and attractive names, flashed into the market. They have come and gone. People tried them, perhaps, but they always come back to French’s / White Lily in the end, and are glad to return to the “old stand by” Flour, that has k £ brought unprecedented satisfaction for over 36 years. If you have ever used French’s White Lily Flour in the past you’ll use it again in the future. ,Its better now than it ever was before, because we have just finished putting in an entire new equipment of machinery, of the very latest and best that money can buy. Here Are Three Reasons Why French’s White Lily Flour Is The Best Ist—There isn’t a better equipped mill in the whole country, nor one that employs more skilled help. 2nd—Our mill is run night and day, year in and year out, and enables us to make a smoother and more even quality of flour than is possible in any mill that runs only a few hours each day, and then stops. • 3rd—Our mill is run by water power, which is the best and most even power Known. It drives our machinery at the same speed always, which insures a smooth even quality offlour. These are only a few reasons why you can't find a better flour anywhere than French’s White Lily. That’s why those who have used It longest are its best friends. That’s why you’11 never be without it If .you’ll give it a trial. Your grocer has it. Every elevator has it, and will give you 40 lbs of It In ex­ change for each bushel of good wheat. Why not try it? Do it to-day. ■ ■ ' • -. ■ • ■ ■ ' . • / Middleville Roller Mills LEVILLE, R. T.

THE WOMEN FOLKS ' Take Great Pride In Their Bread Baking They know that good bread is the staff of life, and neces= sary for the family health. The woman who is provided with poor flour, or flour that varies in “quality” is at a great > disadvantage. One day her bread may be fairly good, the next day it will be just the opposite. A, good many women can’t understand why there should be such a differ­ ence in the bread. They used exactly the same quantity of flour in each instance, did all of the work in the same way, and baked it in the same stove. . Such bread-baking experiences are discouraging, because the women invariably take all the blame upon themselves. The fact is that they are not to blame at alt. The whole trouble is with the flour. It lacks that smooth, even quality that is necessary for making bread that is always the same. You can’t stop flouring mill machinery one day and start it up the day following without affecting the quality of the flour. That’s the trouble with so many brands of flour. One reason why French’s White Lily Flour is superior to any other flour in the market, is because it’s made in a mill that runs night and day, year in and year out, and the machinery is run by water power which is the most even power known. If you liked French’s White Lily in the past you’ll like it now, better than you ever did before, because we have just spent thousands of dollars for an entirely new equipment of machinery. We bought the very best there is in the market, and to-day there isn’t a better equipped flouring mill in the country. With the best machinery, driven night and day by water power, backed by 36 years of successful manufacture— these are some of the reasons why French's White Lily Flour is the best your money can buy. Why not give it a trial. Middleville Roller Mills, ... _R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor.

' If you want to sell your farm or home, list your property with ub. You know what price you will take for your farm or home. With our system of doing business we are able to find just,the man-who wants to-buy it. • We are doing a large amount of advertising in farm publications that reach millions of people in other states than Michigan. We can afford to advertise extensively because we have hundreds and hundreds of farms and homes-to sell. You could not afford to do it as you have only the one farm to sell. We are getting many inquiries Irom our advertise­ ments. They come from people in other states who have sold their high-priced farms, and are looking for good farms elsewhere, where land is not so high priced. These prospective buyers know what they want. They tell us what they want. If your farm or home meets their requirements then we can sell it for you. If you want to buy or sell real estate it will Pay Ypu to secure the services of a good, reliable, trust-worthy Real Estate Agency. All we will charge you is a Very Small Per Cent in case we Bell your property, and it will Cost You Nothing in cate we Do Not make a sale. So you tee that it is entirely Up To Us to make a sale At The Price You Want, in order to get our pay, but with the doctor, lawyer and dentist you Have To Pay Anyway, no matter whether you win or losp. And outside of the large foreign advertising that we are now doing, we have direct connections with reliable real estate agencies in other states who send buyers to us. In addition to all that we are in constant touch with prospective buyers al! over the country. That’s why we, can -ell your property to a better advantage than .you can sell it your­ self. We will guarantee you a square deal. We ask you to look us up and inquire of oth­ ers about us. Better list your property with us if you want to sell, or see us if you want to buy. himself.

The financial “giants” in this country to-day invariably commenced life ak-poor boys and at small salaries. But they _ saved some thing every week7 or month out of their wages, and by 2__^heer “persistence” accumulated their first thousand dollars. Every week, or month saw their bank account.grow. And when the oppor­ tunity came, as it does to ayery one, they had the re£dy money to • branch out. • * The great financiers of to-day are often referred to as "lucky.” in nine cases out of ten the element of luck had nothing to do wlth'ft^ If these men had spent ttieir money as fast as they made it, or a little faster, the world would probably never have heard of them. But they acquired the “saving habit” early in life. 1 ' . There .are greater opportunities to day than ever before. The world is full of them. Bat to take advantage of them yon must have the money.

A Farm Or Home 25 Here Are Some Reasons Why It Will Pay To Patronize This Up-To-Date Real Estate Agency. . . Mr* Frank Twogood who line been visiting her parents. Mr. nnd Mrs. Matthew Hall, returned Sat­ urday to her home In Tuba. Okla. F you want to buy a farm or home, we have a Choice lot of properties listed at very reasonable prices. Among them you will be able to find just what you are looking for and at the price you can afford to pay. So if you want to buy it is to your interest to call and see us before you close a deal. If you want to sell your farm or home, list your property with us. You know what price j'ou will take for your farm or hdme. With our system of doing business we are able to find just the man who wants to buy it. We are doing a large amount of advertising in farm publications that reach millions of people in other states than Michigan. We can afford to advertise extensively because we have hundreds and hundreds of farms and homes to sell. You could not afford to do it as you have only the one farm to sell. We are getting many inquiries from our advertise­ ments. They come from people in other states who have sold their high-priced farms, and are looking for good farms elsewhere, where land is not so high nriced. These prospective buyers know what they want. They tell us what they want. If your farm or home meeto their requirements then we can sell it for you. If you want to buy or sell real estate it will Pay You to secure the services of a good, reliable, trust worthy Real Estate Agency. All we will charge you is a Very Small Per Cent in case we Sell your property, and it will Cost You Nothing in case we Do Not make a sale. So you see that it-is entirely Up To Us to make a sale At The Price You' Want, in order to get our pay, but with the doctor, lawyer and dentist you Have To Pay Anyway, no mattar whether you win or lose. And outside of the large foreign advertising that are now doing; we have direct connections with reliable real estate agencies in other states who send buyers to us. In addition to all that we are in constant touch with prospective buyers all over the country. That’s why we, can nell your property to a better advantage than you can sell it your­ self. We will guarantee you a square deal. We ask you to look us yp and inquire-of oth­ ers about us. Better list your property with us if you want to sell, or see us if you want to buy. I Will to China.

CAPPS’ CLOTHING 12 Reasons Why It Is The Best Last week we told you of the THREE principal lines of Clothing that we are going to handle. We are goingto tell you this week about CAPPS’ line of clothing, and give you 12 Reasons why it the BEST ybur money can buy for the price. And we want you to ALWAYS bear in mind that if you ever buy anything here, which is’ not as' we represent it to be, we want you to bring it back, and we will gladly MAKE IT RIGHT. Here are the 12 REASONS: J LAPPS The fabric in this jjjnnent FIRST Capps’ clothing is STRICTLY 100 Per Cent PURE WOOL, or Wool and Silk combined. SECOND The cloth for Capps Clothing is made from the raw material in the factories of J. Capps & Sons, in Jacksonville, ID., established in 1839. They make all their clothing from cloth they manufacture, therefore they get the manufacturing Capps’ Clothing is Absolutely FAST COLOR and can actually be washed without injury. FOURTH contains NINETY PER CENT of clothing SHODDY and COTTON—Capps’ ing disease by wearing it. $15.oo to $25.oo PER SUIT PHONE Honest Clothes . SIXTH Capps’ & Sons is practically the only firm in the United States that furnishes an iron-dad- guar­ antee with EVERY GARMENT. ' \ AS REPRESENTED by Capps & SODS. Any figure, not actually deformed can be FITTED' from the regular stock sizes of , Capps' Clothing without CLOTHING contains neither. FIFTH Capps Clothing is NOT made in a “SWEAT SHOPS” and you run no RISK of contract­ Eighth Every RETAIL DEALER in Capps' Clothing is authorized by CAPPS' & SUHS, to REFUND money for ANY Ninth We Sell Capps' Clothing THIRD Seventh Frequent tests have proven that Capps’ Clothing will WEAR LONGER than any similar fabric on the market. GARMENT not proving costs down, to the lowest notch. sold wji Every process from ihoraw wool to the finished garment is conducted under our immediate supervWon in our dean, wll lighted and wntilaled ' factorial at Honest Prices extra expense. Tenth The linings, trimmings and interlinings of Capps' Clothing are thoroughly STEAM SHRUNK. Therefore Capps garments HOLD THEIR SHAPE through severest usage. Eleventh Capps' garments are-extremely well con­ structed in the LATEST STYLES. A suit of clothes as good as Capps', in ANY OTHER MAKE, would cost you several dollars more. ------- -—.____ ■■ Twelfth GRANT H. OTIS 8 GO -CLOTHING, SHOES, FURNISHINGS, ETC. SUCCESSOR* TO C. H.'OSBORN - ________ ' . With Capps' Clothing you get an iron-dad GUARANTEE that the fabric contains neither COTTON nor SHODDY. Isn't that worth something to YOU?

Second. hc,cay*e "Tiffany is Tiff­ any." z\ diamond is a bargain at its list price at any time. So is a pair of Walk-over shoes. A poor pair of shoes is dear at ANY price. When you buy a pair of Walk­ over shoes you FORGET the PRICE almost as soon as you pay for them. The shoes you cannot forget are the kind that WEAR. FIT ami SATISFY you. Buy a pair of shoes at a dis­ count. and the probabilities arc you will pay two or three times the sum you will "SAVE?" to get the SERVICE the price of the shoe should have included. Cut price shoes cither were not worth in the beginning all that was asked for them or else they have DEPRECIATED in VAL­ UE, as compared with other shoes selling at the same list price. Unless a stock of shoes is a DRUG on the market, they will sell without a .DISCOUNT. If they were of unusual VALUE at the regular price they wouldn’t be a DRUG on the market. You CANNOT get GOOD SHOES, and the SERVICE that good shoes should give, without paying a FAIR price,—a price which recompenses the manu­ facturer lor designing aftd build­ ing the shoes, and the dealer for his services in selling them to you, and in TAKING CARE OF YOU AFTERWARDS. When you buy shoes of us you pay for just what you get, and you GET JUST WHAT YOU PAY FOR. The lines of shoes we have handled, and will CON- NOTICE If you want a good moat, call at the Hayee Houee.

MATTHEWS _ These figures represent our sales in the Real Estate Business in Barry andlEaton counties. We BELIEVE that this is a larger amount of sales than any other Real Estate flrmlhas ever done In this territory, and we KNOW that it has been accomplished by constant hustling and Judicious advertising. Our system of selling farms cannot be beaten, and when we once take thehandling of your property noth­ ing is gained until it has been converted into cash, because we are Selling farmsasameansof livelihood. We Have No Other Business. I ~ Selling Farms is a Business by Itself and requires some knowledge of the value of property, besides the constant attention. It cannot be combined with other business without conflic ting and neglecting one or the other. Experience has proven that “too many irons” cannot be attended, and with only one, success is always achieved. x > . We do not wish to point to ourselves as a shining example of this old adage, but we do entertain a great deal of pride in our record of $93,000 in 8 months. This has been brought about by diligent atten­ tion to Real Estate business and hustling. . WE USE MODERN METHODS We have listed very few farms this Spring that we have not gone over personally and used our best judgment on the value of, and if we did not think that the farm was worth the money asked, we did not waste the time of our customer or ourselves by. showing it, we simply left it alone.

We have sold farms that have been left in the hands of other Real.E,state firms for two years, and have given them evidence that WE were Modern Real Eaiate.Men. Th ese sales that have been brought about in four months must be evidence enough for you, if you want to sell your farm, that WE are in position and have the ability to sell •your farm for you to a better advantage than any other Real Estate firm in Michigan. ■ When you are ready to -sell your farm do you want to list it with a firm that waits for a buyer, and consequently keeps you waiting, or will you list it With a firm that “goes after them” and closes you out by the most modern method? If you want to sell your farm consider these facts: Isti Who can get me my price the quickest? 2nd. Are they hustlers and reliable? 3rd. Are their methods modern and their time given to the-Real Estate business? Those are the vifal questions to consider If you are contemplating selling your farm, and'those are the questions you should consider. .We cheerfully refer you to the Hastings «City Bank, Bellevue Bank or the Vermontville bank, as to our standing. . -> WE WANT MORE FARMS ON OUR LIST FOR TjHE FALL CAMPAIGN Liat your farm with us if you want to sell at once.

We can afford to advertise extensively because wo have hundreds and hundreds of farms and homes to sell. You could not afford to do it as ybu have only the one farm to sell. We are getting many inquiries from our advertise­ ments. They come from people in other states who have sold their high-priced farms, and • are looking for good farms elsewhere, where land is not so high priced. These prospective buyers know what they want. They tell us what they want. If your farm or home meets their requirements then we cun sell it for you. And outside of the large foreign advertising that we are now doing, we have direct connections with reliable real estato agencies in other states who send buyers to us.

Republicans Should De Very Well Satisfied Michigan republicans have every reason to bo satisfied with con­ ditions In this state, and no reasons whatever to vote against their party candidates on tho ground that they are not progressive enough. In Maine tho questions at Imuo In the party were not submitted to a vote^of tho party at a primary election as in Michigan, consequently those members uf thy party who wore dissatisfied with'conditions In that state hod no other way tn voice their protests except by voting the'opposition.ticket, and they did so.- The long domination of theparty In Malilo by Senator Halo and a emalT'cUlrrie oM»osaea gave the rank and flle ot the party no chance to express thelr"<sntlment* In any effective way except by casting their ballots for opposition candidates. Conditions In Mlchlftn are squarely opppeed to.those tn tho re­ publican party In Maine. Here the party had tho opportunity to put Itself on,record “nd show what It stood Tor. In state Issues tho can­ didate for governor'who represented the old regime Spoiled but 17 per cent of the republics^ vote at the primaries. The two progressive candidates polled Nearly three quarters of tho vote, and the successful one about 4< per cent. On U.'A Senator, the result was likewise very emphatic. Not­ withstanding the large personal following of Senator Burrows, attract­ ed to him by hla 31 years of public service to the natlop. ho polled It can be safely uiumed that the overwhelming majority ot tha re­ publican voters of Michigan are favorable to progresslvs measures, and opposed. to the atan<T-pat. reactionary program of Cannon and Not leva emphatic was the vote in the third congressional district, where the lines <rere squarely drawn between Congressman Gardner, who had lauded Speaker Cannon as a great American statesman, and stuck by him In all his votes In the house, and Hon.

In the eecond district both republican candldatee tor Con­ gressman Townsend's place announced thcmjelves ns progressives.

No-matter-hvw, Tmuch the. and governor were so emphatic as tn leave n^jlaubl of thn temfrff of the republicans of the stale. ' This Is a country of majority rule; atjd where a matter has-been submitted to vote «f the’party, and 130.000,­ 000 of the members of that party attend the primary election, and an overwhelming majority express their adhesion to progressive prin­ ciples, the party as a whole will, as It should, accept and bo governed crate will simply operate to delay effective legislation. In the end tha country will commission the republican party to do this work. In Michigan where the republican party Is In the hands of progressive republicans, there js every reason why the voters should sustain that MIm Maude Kenyon who has been visiting In Eaton Rapids returned to the village the last of jast week. Guy Reuter of Onondaga refuted to tho village Saturday ’for a visit with friends and relative* F. E. Hyde visited friends In Freesoli last week. Mrs. Z. F.

The whole country has shown that it 1s decided to put an end to stand-patlsm and all the reactionary program. Thanks to the efforts of President Taft and the progressive republicans In Congress, wo now have a tariff commission which will take tho tariff question out of politics, and revise tho tariff schedule by schedule with a view to doing justice to all Interests and to tho people of this country We havo the transportation question In tho hands of the Inter-state commerce commission, with a commerce court that will hear and settle all questions speedily, thus ending the exasperat­ ing delays which the railroads were able to secure In the settlement of rates by appealing to the federal courts. In short, the party Is squared away on progressive Uries. • The effective dealing with corporations, and the conservation of natural redburces. the two, uppermost questions In this country, must be done by the NATIONAL government If that 1s to be done with any effect. The democratic part), particularly In the south. Is still wedded to the old doctrine of-STATE* RIGHTO. It can never handle these questions, for wo cannot have 47 different seta of laws to govern them, with their endless conflicts. Therefore the thoughtful voter, whether democrat or republican, who desires to have theetf questions settled and settled right, should vote for republican candidates, now that tho republican party has thoroughly routed the stand-pot element.

They make the most careful study of styles, and what ever beam theKaufman trade mark can be readily accepted as the . correct thing in style.

Judging by the many compli­ ments we received from our many old customers, anda great many NEW ones, who hud never visited this store before, leads us to believe that the peo­ ple of Barry County fully appre­ ciate our efforts in establishing an up-to-date Metropolitan Shoe Store in Hastings. People are coming to KNOW that at this store they can be fit­ ted out in any QUALITY, or SIZE, they would be able to get in the large cities, and for LESS MONEY. No matter WHERE you live if you have “SHOE TROU­ BLES” or want the LATEST, and BES T in Shoes, come here.

We commenced at ones to give 40 POUNDS of flour. ■ Our action compelled all others to do the same. NOW EVERY FARMER IN THE COUNTY GETS 40 POUNDS OF FLOUR IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS BUSHEL OF WHEAT. ’ The farmer# of Barry Co., in increasing numlwrs are getting wi#e to two facts; • 1. That Purity Flouf made at this mill is the equal of any flour made, and far above the average. . . • ’. , 2. That, they, the Farmers, realize that this mill has given them over 14 per cent more flour for a bushel of’wheat than they formerly obtained. . "We hsk no favors: but we believe that as long as we furnish a brand of flour which the betft cooks in Horsy Co. use,.and which -they declare is the equal'of any flour made, that the fanners of Barry Co SHOULD GIVE THIS MILL THE BENEFIT OF THE EXCHANGE OF THEIR WHEAT FOR FLOUR. ‘ You.take no'chances.

But the great trouble with them in the past has been that they K? would not WEAR well. Manufacturers found that in X putting bn the “Patent” finish it seemed to destroy the life, and strength of the leather. Asia result the shoes would “crack” through, and would often be”rendered “worthless” after they had A been worn only a few times. Consequently the makers SS would not GUARANTEE PATENT LEATHER SHOES. The BUYER had to take ALL the chances. *2* We Have a Line of Patent Leather rShoes'That We WilfGuarantee it is the BURT & PACKARD line. They are made by a special process of their own.

Wire fence was never so cheap as at the present time. Every indication points to an advance in price before another spring, And the manufacturers assure us that it is sure to come. It would be my idea to get your posts now, they cannot be cheaper. Get your fence now it certainly will be higher. Another thing these rainy days bring to our notice, that is the old leaky roof. This is the proper time to look after them and Sand­ ed Asphalt roofing is the remedy. No more leaky roofs where Sanded Asphalt Roofing is used.

We wanted a better, reason than an attractive looking stove, so we looked it over thoroughly, comparing it point by point with other base burners, and this is what we found: That the material from which it is made is all of the highest grades—the doors, mica frames and . joints being absolutely air and paper tight. We were-told the Favorite produced the most satisfactory results with about half as much coal as other base burners. We discovered this to be true. We found the reason to be in its Triple Exposed Fluee. The sectional cut herewith explains these flues better than we can in words. The heat passes from the fire pot into the two outside down flues, across tne bottom of the stove, under the ash pan, where it enters the central flue. It then passes back over the bottom and up the central flue to the chimney. Just think of this great radiating surface, and it is more than doubled,. because the flues are SET OUT from the back of tho stove. The fluea therefore radiate from all sides, and the back of the stove radiates heat, also. This feature alone places the Favorite in a class by itself, making it the best and most economical heating stove in existence. But other features of its con­ struction must not be overlooked. Would like to tell you all about them. , Do not put off buying your heating stove until the cold days come. Come and nee us now, and our Favorite will be your Favorite too.

But it could be made more attractive, and that's how I propose to make it, if the people of thia, city and vicinity give me the support I feel I’m entitled to.

It keeps us all hustling to keep up with the improvements, and changed con­ ditions. And these improvements and changed conditions are along EVERY LINE. Farming today is ah improvement over 10, 15 or 20 years ago. The farmer that is doing farm work with a 20 years old equipment and as they did 20 years ago is handi­ capped. He’s not farming ECONOMICALLY and in the BEST WAY,. The same is true of the manufacturer; the grocer; the dry goods man; the lawyer;.the doctor; and even the undertaker. It’s just the same way in making flour, The man who has 20 year old machinery in his mill, can’t make flour ECONOMI­ CALLY and in the BEST WAY. The improvements in flour making machinery have been just as wonderful as they have along any other lic^a, -The old ’.‘stone”_mlll of the. early day is just as interesting a relic as the old "arm-strong” cradle. The milling equipment of 15 or 20 years ago is just as odd com­ paratively, as the. fjrst old mower and binder. Middleville EVILLE, / Since last March we have throwp out overy bit of our old equipment of flour making machinery and replaced it with the NEWEST and LATEST. There is not ONE single flour-maklnK^_j machine in pur mill today that was there last February—not one. We threw out a better equipment of flour making machinery than the great majority of the flour mills of this stale have in _ their mills to day. Today we have the best standard equipment that MONEY CAN BtJY. They are operated by the most skilled help we can hire, saying nothing of our own 36 YEARS of EX­ PERIENCE in making flour. The French’s White Lily Fldur of today is BETTER than it EVER was before. It’D the highest standard of flour your money can'buy, because it’s made in just as good an equipped mill as there is in this country today. Yes, this is an age of "progress” and French’s White Lily flour is right in line; Your grocer Keeps it ao does every eleva­ tor man In Barry county. You’re going to use it later on.

UP in the milling business. I’ve worked in many different mills, in large cities and small, and have ALWAYS LEARNED SOMETHING in each—much more than I would have by always staying in ONE. » I know as much about dhe art of making flour as the BEST of them. . . When I took charge of the Hastings mill there were several old machines in it, I couldn't make the BEST flour with them, so 1 dumped them out and replaced them with I the best on the market. PUHITY FLOUR "took” with the people. They found it THE BEST FOR THE MONEY. It began to 'HURT’* the trade of some of the others. They were COMPELLED to put in UP-TO-DATE machinery. HAVE DONE, lhere isn t a better equipped mill in the state, of its size, than I hi There isn’t n mill that MAKES BETTER FLOUR than "PURITY.” 1 was the first one to EXCHANGE 40 POUNDS OF FLOUR for EACH BUSHEL of GOOD WHEAT. You never gox but 35 POUNDS in EXCHANGE before I started here I think it s SAFE to say that you wouldn't be getting but 35 POUNDS right NOW if it hadn t been for my policy. I use NOTHING but BARRY COUNTY WHEAT in making PURITY FLOUR. I ve made Hastings one of the best WHEAT MARKETS tn the state. I PAY "top notch prices.

French’ WILL “CURE” YOUR BAKING TROUBLES If you haven't used FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR within the past year, you can’t KNOW what a good flpur it is. It is a great deal BETTER to-day than it EVER WAS before, and we'll tell you WHY. W ithin the past few years there have been some great IMPROVEMENTS in FLOUR-MAKING MA­ CHINERY. We wanted to KNOW that they were a 1 ' that was claimed for them before we put them in. We KNEW if we put them in, it meant that EVERY ONE of our machines would have to be taken out,. That would mean great confusion in our business for at least SIX MONTHS, besides an outlay of thousands and thousands of dollars for the NEW MACHINERY. We examined the machinery question THOROUGHLY. We found that the new IMPROVED machinery was doing even BETTER WORK than the manufacturers were CLAIMING for it. That SETTLED THE QUESTION with us. We never HAVE and NEVER WILL let any OPPORTUNITY pass, 'whereby we can IMPROVE the QUALITY of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. . ' ~ Middleville Our old equipment was BETTER than you will find in 95 out op every 100 flour mills in this count! country, but it with the NEWEST we threw it ALL Out, land . replaced . and BEST that there is on the market. We commenced last March to make the change, and it took us a good full SIX MONTHS to complete the work, with the aid of the mpst skilled millwrights that money could hire. There isn't a single flour-making machine in our mill to-day that was there last February. Our new equipment is running as “smooth as oil.” We are making-BETTER FLOUR than we ever did be­ fore in the history of this mill. That’s WHY we say that YOU can’t KNOW how good a flour French’s White Lily is, if you haven't used it since we have put in our new equipment. It’s BETTER, SMOOTHER and of more EVEN QUALITY than ever. If you have “Baking Troubles,” why not TRY a sack of FRENCH'S WHILE LILY FLOUR? It’s the BEST your money can buy. Why not get the BEST? Roller Mills R. T.

" TO THE Republican Voters of Barry County TUESDAY, NOV. 8th, 1910. Election will be held on This will be one of the most important elections In recent years. It will decide whether the people want to continue a Republican National administration, or whether they want a Democratic Congress and Senate, and two or more years of uncertainty and “business unrest.” A Democratic Congress or United States Senate, or both^will unsettle business conditions for two years at least. It will also “tie the hands” of President Taft In promoting the progressive legislation that he desires “f----- ’----- enacted. A Republican Congress and Senate will simply be a vote of confidence In a Republication Administration in this County and will guarantee a continuance of the present good times. State, Congressional and Legis­ lative Ticket. For the first time in the history of this state, the PEOPLE have selected their own candidates. Charles E. Townsend is-fhe republican candidate for the United States Senate. His name will NOT be on the ticket. You can only VOTE for Mr. The Republican County Ticket The Republican County nominees are as follows: SHERIFF-HARRY S. RITCHIE. CLERK W. L THORPE. TREASURER LEANDER REAMS. C. W. BACKUS.

CIRCUIT COURT COMMISSIONERS-J. M. SMITH ind A. E. KIDDER. For Governor we have nominated the Hon. Chase S. Osborn, of Sault Ste. Marie. He is WITHOUT DOUBT the best posted man in Michigan. An author of recognized ability; a world-wide traveller; a man of affairs. Fearless, independent, of splendid judgment, he lias been rightly called'the "Roosevelt of Michigan.” On the first page of this issue, read President Roosevelt’s endorsement of both Townsend and Osborn.

And for that reason deserve the support of every Republican? Their fitness and ability to fill the office has not been questioned. " A . at the Primary. Daniel E.

As can be seen, most of these nominees have served but one term, and Hon. E. L. Hamilton..

A ticket nominated as was this at a Primary, and made up of men of such high reputation and so well qualified, deserves the support of every Republi­ can in Barry county. Republicans, Get to the Polls Early and Vote Your Ticket! The splendid State,Congressional, Legislative and County ticket which has been nominated by your party at the PRIMARY ought to receive a large majority in this County.

The great fault with them in the past has been that they WOULD NOT WEAR. The process of putting on the Patent Finish would take all the LIFE out of the leather, and it would CRACK THROUGH. Burt & Packard, makers of the "BURROJAP" PATENT LEATHERS, discovered a process by which they can make Patent Leather Shoes, that they GUARANTEE will not CRACK. They spent a great deal of MONEY and'TIME in perfecting the process, and today are the ONLY, firm in this country that makes-a Patent Leather Shoe that is GUARAN­ TEED not to crack through. Burt 4 Packard buy theirown rawhides in the open market, do their own tanning, and' MAKE their own shoes. They have to pay NO PROFIT to the TANNERS as do practically ALL other SHOE MANUFACTURERS who BUY their leathers ALL READY TANNED. The result is that when you buy a BURROJAP PATENT LEATHER you get BETTER STOCK, and a BETTER SHOE for YOUR MONEY than you would get in any ether make and besides all that you get a shoe that is GUARAN­ TEED not to crack.

The Famous Does Not Strain the Eyes Don’t use a small, concentrated light over one shoulder. It puts an unequal strain on your eyes. Use a diffused, soft, mcjlow light that cannot flicker, that equal­ izes the work of the eyes, such as the Rayo Lamp gives, and avoid eye strain. The Rayo is designed to give the best light, and it does. It has a strong, durable shade-holder that Is held firm and true. A new burner gives added strength. Made of solid brass and finished in nickel. Easy to keep polished. The Rayo is low priced, but no other lamp gives a better fight at any price. Once a Rayo User, Always One.

French’s ^7 CUTS DOWN YOUR LIVING EXPENSES / , When you buy a sack of it you KNOW that it is going to be ‘‘just like the last sack you bought.” You KNOW that you are going to get just as good a flour 1 as there is made. There’s a lot of SATISFACTION ) in such purchases. That’s WHY the flour they make isn’t as GOOD or EVEN in QUALITY, When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you get a floor that’s made in a mill that RUNS NIGHT AND DAY, YEAR IN ANDYEAR OUT. . It means a whole lot to the housewife, too, bccause she KNOWS in advance just how her baking is coming out. The great trouble with the ordinary flour is that you CAN’T DEPEND on the QUALITY. If doesn’t run EVEN. You may • get one sack that will be satisfactory—the next sack may be ALL WRONG. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you get a flour that is made in a mill with an entire BRAND NEW EQUIPMENT of the LATEST and BEST flour-making machinery- that money canzbuy. • There’s a reason for this that you can readily understand if you will consider it a moment. It may be made in a mill with incompetent help; it may be made in a mill with an old equipment; or it may be made in a mill that runs a few hours each day and stops each night—and that ALWAYS affects the EVEN quality of flour. You may find ONE or ALL of these defects in the great majority of flouring mills. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you get a flour that is made by' the -most skilled help that money can secure, saying nothing of our own exper­ ience—and we’ve been at it OVER 36 YEARS. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you get a flour made under EVERY FAVORABLE CONDITION, and in a mill that is right up-to-theminute in every way. There isn’t a better flour made. When the housewife uses French’s White Lily Flour she knows that her baking will be just like the Middleville Roller R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor EVILLE, last—she doesn’t have to "wonder” whether it will fie. She knows that she wiU be able to use EVERY PARTICLE of the flour. When she buys the ordinary flour she can't tell much-about it. Maybe her baking will be good; maybe it won’t. The chances are about even. She will throw away all that isn’t good, because no house­ wife likes to parade her “poor baking,” even in her own home. And as like as not she will take all the blame on herself, when it is no fault of hers at ail. The whole trouble was IN THE FLOUR. In a “nutshell” the difference between French’s White Lily Flour and others is this:—When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you USE ALL OF IT. When .you buy the other kind you USE SOME OF IT. That’s why French’s White Lily Flour is the ’ CHEAPEST for you to buy. That's why it cuts do wit your living expenses. Why not order a sack today and give it a trial? ' Mills, �T t HASTINGS.

While you are using the cheaper flour, occasion­ ally or oftener, you have to throw away ALL, or part, of your baking. On . EVERYTHING you throw away you are out not only the FLOUR that is in the’ baking, but YOUR'WORK besides. You may be thinking all the while about the few pennies you THOUGHT you .saved on that SACK of flour. Your poor batch of bread, or baking, is an incident of your unwise purchase of the CHEAPER kind. What you THROW AWAY together with YOUR WORK, would MORE than make up the difference between the sack ol poor flout- and French's White Lily. • .. ■ You threw away your baking and dismissed it with the thought that you had “bad luck.” Some­ times you feel as though you had lost the “KNACK” of making good bread, and you almost become “dis­ couraged.” . If you KNEW the REAL FACT you would find that the fault was NOT with YOU.but WITH THE FLOUR. If you are having your “baking troubles” why not try a sack of the “OLD RELIABLE,” French’s White Lily Flour? You’ll be surprised how quickly the “KNACK” of making GOOD BREAD will return, because it’s ALL IN THE FLOUR. A good many friends of French's- White Lily Flour have spoken to, and written, us, that French’s White Lily Flour of TO-DAY (since we put in our entirely NEW equipment of machinery) is BETTER titan EVER BEFORE. Middleville Roller R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor We believe they were sincere in what they said to us. It stands to REASON that, with our NEW EQUIPMENT of the LATEST* and BEST flourinaking machinery on the market, we CAN and DO, make BETTER FLOUR than EVER BEFORE. Now if YOU have been “experimenting" with some other flour, you're having “baking troubles.’’ Why not come back to the “Old Reliable" French’s White Lily that you KNOW is ALWAYS GOOD, and BETTER NOW THAN EVER? You’re going to do that sooner or later. You're going to quit EXPERIMENTING. If you’ll stop and “figure up" you will readily see that this “experiment­ ing businsss” is mighty expensive. t When your present sack of flour is gone why not be ECONOMICAL and order a sack of French’S White Lily Flour, the LOWEST PRICED FLOUR MADE of its QUALITY. �HASTINGS.

You KNOW what “Ball Band” means. When you see the “Ball Band” mark on Rubber Footwear you KNOW that there is nothing better made. In winter footwear, as in all other kinds of footwear, our aim is to GET the BEST for the money and please our customers. We could buy other makes of rubber goods at a lower price and sell them for as much per pair as we charge for “BALL HAND” GOODS. But we KNOW that if we bought the CHEAPER kind they would not give SATISFACTION. We want the "COME BACK” patrons—the ones who come back to this store year after year to do their buying. We want our CUS­ TOMERS to have confidence in us; confidence in our goods, and confidence in every statement we make. That’s the way we are building up our business and we’re buying only those goods that we KNOW will give our patrons the BEST for THEIR MONEY. You won't find a more complete stock in any large city store, and you can’t buy at any LOWER price ANYWHERE than we will make you—‘‘quality” considered.

Dentist THE REASON WHY French’s IS THE BEST FOR YOUR MONEY French’s White Lily Flour represents “PROGRESS," and PROGRESS is the KEY to SUCCESS in every line of human endeavor. We recently threw out EVERY ONE of our old'Flour-making machines from basement to roof, and REPLACED them all with the VERY LATEST. BEST and MOST UP-TO-DATE Flour-making machinery that MONEY CAN BUY. It was simply PROGRESS—doing things BETTER than we had ever done before. " Having the BEST Flour-making machinery and RUNNING 34 HOURS EVERY DAY, year in and year out, and operating by WATER POWER, we make a BETTER, SMOOTHER and MORE EVEN FLOUR than any other concern in the country. is operated by our owW* WATER POWER, so our LIGHTING costs us practically NOTHING from one years end to another. _ THIRD—By runhing NIGHT and DAY our INSURANCE is no more; our TAXES are no more; our OFFICE EXPENSES are no more. In fact ' it MORE THAN CUTS OUR GENERAL EXPENSES in TWO, and we are able to get a 34 HOUR OUTPUT at a TEN-HOUR-A-DAY EXPENSE. Any mill that runs only xo HOURS A DAY and then STOPS, simply HAS to "CROWD THROUGH” all the grain it CAN, in order to KEEP OUR RUNNING NIGHT AND DAY ENABLES US TO LOWER THE PRICE OF FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR TO THE CON­ SUMER, AND AT THE SAME TIME TO MAINTAIN ITS HIGH QUALITY, became ' DOWN its GENERAL EXPENSE. Such a mill NECESSARILY is more INTERESTED in its OUTPUT rather than its QUALITY. And the QUALITY of the flour from any 10-HOUR-A-DAY MILL h LOWERED STILL FURTHER by reason of its STOPPING every night and START­ ING up again 14 HOURS later. You can't STOP flour-making machinery - every night, and let it remain IDLE for 14 HOURS without AFFECTING . the QUALITY of the FLOUR. It simply CAN’T, be done. FIRST—We own our own WATER POWER, so our power costs us One reason WHY French's White Lily Flour is so SMOOTH and EVEN practically NOTHING from one year to another and we use it 34 HOURS EVERY DAY. ’ * and "ALWAYS THE SAME," is because out mill runs CONTINUOUSLY ■34 HOURS A- DAY, year in and year out. SECOND—We own our own ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANT, which We did not throw out ALL of our OLD.EQUIPMENT, and spend - Middleville iVILL Roller R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor THOUSANDS of dollarg for our NEW, just to make "MORE FLOUR,” but to make "BETTER FLOUR." We KNEW we couldn't make the BEST FLOUR unless we had the BEST machinery. That’s WHY we threw out the old. We spent those thousands of dollars just to IMPROVE the “QUALITY” of French’s White Lily Flour—to “PROGRESS'*—And we are HIGHLY PLEASED with the investment, because our customers all tell us that "French’s White Lily Flour is BETTER today, than it ever was before.” ‘ If you haven't used French's White Lily Flour of late, you will find.that it will be to YOUR ADVANTAGE to. try it. You’ll find it BETTER than it ever wm before. You’ll find it a strictly f HIGH GRADE article at a "low grade” coat. . ./ It won't 0O8T YOU any more than the INFERIOR kind ot flour, ly it wiU GO FURTHER because you'll USE every PARTICLE of it Your BAKING will ALWAYS be good because French’s Whiffr*^ Flour is ALWAYS of the SAME UNIFORM QUALITY*, because ivn“<fc under EVERY FAVORABLE CONDITION. It will CUT DOW^OUR- LIVING EXPENSES. Why not buy a sack and SEE FOR YOURSELF wh*h/’tlr ments are true. . You’ll find it will be a MONEY SAVER for jA . Mills, MIC AN. * �HASTINGS, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY.

There are no' exceptions to that rule. And all business firms must apprecate that fact to reach the zenith in the commercial world. - WE—FRAZER, GORDON AND JAMES— had talked this matter over years ago, how we would conduct our^Shoe Shop when we learned the business sufficiently. And our years of train­ ing taught us the best lines to handle— the WALK OVER for Men and Women; the ROUGE REX for the Working Men; the BUS­ TER BROWN lor the Boy. .nd Girl.; .nd the famous BALL BAND Rubbers, felt and knit boots; aftd our superb line of HOSIERY. TO MORE INTIMATELY LET our custo­ mers know our reason for selecting the WALK < OVER shoes and the BALL BAND line of rub­ bers we ran a large adv. two weeks ago of the Mishawaka Woolen Co.’s plant and their letter. We also, four weeks ago, gave a large space to representing the WALK OVER plant, and the letter from that company. THAT8 WHY WE SAY, and use the strong­ est terms we can jeommand, feeling that even then we tell but half the truth, that Nowhere on earth can you find such values in footwear as in the WALK OVER, BUSTER BROWN and BALL BAND lines.

Since that advertisement appeared there has been a steady stream of people to call at this mil, and a large number have written us. We have TELEGRAP.HED the manufacturer of these gifts to "DUPLICATE OUR FIRST ORDER,” and the new supply will be-here the fore part of the week. We didn’t expect to have to do this, but our plan is “NEVER TO DISAPPOINT," no matter whether we are making GIFTS, or SELLING FLOUR. So if YOU are the HEAD of a FAMILY and want one of these GIFTS, better CALL at the mill, or write us right away, before they arc all gone, as WE WILL NOT ORDER ANY MORE. Some people jokingly said they "did not have any money, to put in them.” To all •uch we will say “USE PURITY FLOUR AND YOU’LL SOON RAVE THEM FULL.” C. A.

WHY WE CAN PUT French’s WL^E Flour ON THE MARKET AT THE LOW PRICE WE DO By running our mill N1GIFF and DAY. year in and year out, we make a BETTER flour, and at a lower COST, than any mill can possibly do that runs 10 HOURS A DAY and then atope. In any manufacturing-business the item of “GENERAL EX• PENSE8” ia one of the most important items. “General Expenses” include TAXES. INSURANCE, INTEREST ON INVESTMENT, INTEREST ON INDEBTEDNESS. BOOK KEEPING, POWER. LIGHTING, and other items. . . Every manufacturing plant tries to out ita “GENERAL EX­ PENSE ’ to tli« very IX)WEST POSSIBLE LIMIT. No matter whether a plant STOPS or RUN? the "GENERAL EXPENSE" . (fixes, insurance^ interest, book-keeping, etc.) KEEPS RIGHT ON. 1 There are comparatively Tew flouring mills in this country that run NIGHT and DAY. It is needless to say that ALL of them would like to, but there isn’t the DEMAND for their floor that would jus. tify it. The majority of them run not to exceed 10 HOURS a DAY and then STOP—everything stops but “GENERAL EXPENSE;’’ that-^ . keeps right on “piling” up. More than that, the STOPPING of flour making machinery for 14.hours and then. STARTING it again affects the QUALITY of the flourv 4 We run this mill NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out. We •. make French’s White Lily Flour 24 HOURS EVERY DAY, because the demand for it is so great And by doing that fre MORE THAN CUT OUR'“General Expense”4N TWO. We own our own water •power plant and our own electric lighting plant. It costs us pracOcally NOTHING extra to ruii them. By running ’24 HOURS eacTi day our taxes, insurance, interest on investment, "book-keeping, etcT, are NO more than they would be for 10 HOURS. So by hiring one or two men at night we get a 24 HOUR OUTPUT for practically^the same cost that a 10 HOUR run would amount to. In other wonlZ we get practically a 14 HOUR OUTPUT for NOTHING. But we put a LOT of that SAVING back inlb the QUALITY of French’s White Lily Flour. We use the best MICHIGAN wheat grown in this section. Our mill is equipped from basenjent to roof with the-very latest and best of new machinery, ALL installed THIS year. We threw out a bet­ ter equipment of machinery than you will find in a great majority of flour mills in this country. We prepare our wheat better, we WORK our grain more, we grind it finer and more evenly. All this COSTS US extra money, but it tells in the QUALITY of French’s White Lily Flour—-that’s why it’s better. If we did not run night •nd day under such favorable conditions we could not afford Jo sell it at the price we do. As it is every user of French’s White Lily gets ■a HIGH grade FLOUR at the same cost as an inferior flour. That’s W|i Y everybody likes French’s White Lily. That’s WHY you ougiht to use it. Why not try it ? “ . Middleville Roller EVILLE R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor Mills MICHIGAN. �THURSDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1910.

A great many people are, but we have solved the proposition for a large number. People generally do not associate Christmas presents with a hardware store. There is where they make a mistake, because no stock cart offer you such a wide range of selections of useful, durable, serviceable gifts as an up-to-date hardware stock such as we have. We haven’t space to enumerate all that we have to offer, but here are a few suggestions: Enders' Safety Razors Asbestos Sad Irons Fur Coats Skates Sleighs Sleigh Bells Majestic Stoves & Ranges Wringers Granite Coffee Pots Universal Coffee Perco­ lators Serving Dishes Enameled Kitchen Ware Casserole Baking Dishes Silver Plated Knives, Forks and Spoons Shot Guns Rifles Revolvers Nickle Plated Coffee Pots Nickle Plated Tea Pots Nickle Bake Dishes Carving Sets * Razors Pocket Knives Strops O.V.B. Safety Razors Washing Machines Food Choppers Bread Makers Cake Makers Robes Cracks Gillette’s Safety Razors Auto Strop Safety Razors Duplex Safety Razors Keen Kutter Safety Razors Oil Cutters Blankets Furnaces Soft Coal Stoves Clark Heaters And many other things of all This is only a partial list of the. articles we might name. When you buy a present get a sensible one—something that is useful serviceable and durable—something that will last—something that will be appreciated 365 days out of the year. That’s the kind you get here. Just look over our line of Cutters, Robes, Blankets, etc. The prices we quote will be as attractive by their reasonableness, as the goods are by their quality. We cordially invite you to call and look over our stock. - You may find “just what you want” and something we have not mentioned. .

FARMERS LIGHT YOUR HOMES AS BRIGHT AS DAY Modern inventions are bringing to rural homes all the comforts and conveniences of CITY-life. A few years ago life in the country was an isolated one, with mail once a week, and no ready communication with thtboutside world. To-day farmers receive their mail EVERY DAY take their daily papers and are fully awake to everything that's going on in the outside world, Most of them have their telephones, and many of them are buying automobiles. The one feature of farm life that has not improved in 40 or 50 YEARS is the LIGHTING question. First there was the pine-knot torch, next the saucer lamp, then the Tallow-dip, the .wax candle, the kerosene lamp, city gas and finally the electric light.

All the “book knowledge” you are .giving them is to better prepare them for the life that is before them—and its a good investment. But all the “book knowledge” they get is largely of the THEORETICAL kind. Very little of it is PRAC­ TICAL. The idea of school is to train them to THINK. You are furnishing the money. You are sacrificing a good many . things perhaps, for their good. Why not teach them the VALUE of a DOLLAR and encourage them to SAVfc their MONEY? Why not deposit a sum to their credit in our Savings Department? Show them the advantages pf saving. Encourage them to add to what YOU have given them. It will acquaint them with BUSINESS METHODS; it will stimulate them to “hustle;” it will encourage them to save. Such a Christ­ mas present would be practical. It would HELP them and would be worth more in EXPERIENCE to them than all the trashy, “pink lemonade” kind of presents that were ever made. pensive, unprotectlve und worthless conductors. How well such agentshavn succeeded in .Ulla can be Judged from the fact that a certain farmer In the middle west, wham- tail Id Ings fair­ ly bristled with lightning rods, refused to allow the wires of the village light­ ing company lo cro*s his land because some one had told him the wires car­ ried electricity. This man knew only one kind of electricity and that was lightning, so he was deadly afraid of the transmission wires. It took a long time to convlnc- him that th* wires were harmless and that the elec­ tricity they did carry was not the same os lightning. ‘ Lightning'll cloctrldly but It Is nut of thp same nature ns the current which fights our h»me» and streets, cooks our food, drives the wheels of Industry nnd propels the electric lo­ comotives and the trolley cars.

HASTINGS.niCH, WHY WE CAN PUT French’s WL^E Flour ON THE MARKET AT THE LOW PRICE WE DO By running onr mill NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out, we make a BETTER flour, and at a lower COST, than any mill.can possibly do that runs 10 HOURS A DAY and then stope. In any manufacturing business the item of “GENERAL EX­ PENSES” is one of the most important items. “General Expenses” include TAXES. INSURANCE, INTEREST ON INVESTMENT. INTEREST ON INDEBTEDNESS. BOOK-KEEPING, POWER, LIGHTING, and other items. Every manufacturing plaut tries to cut its “GENERALEX­ PENSE ’ to the very LOWEST POSSIBLE LIMIT. No matter whether a plant STOPS or RUNS the “GENERAL EXPENSE’’ (taxes, insurance, interest, book-keeping, etc.) KEEPS RIGHT ON. . There are comparatively few flouring mills in this country that run NIGHT and DAY. It is needless to say that ALL of them would ■ like to, but there isn’t the DEMAND for their floor that would jus. -tify it. The majority of them” run not to exceed 10 HOURS a DAY’ and then STOP—everything stops but “GENERALEXPENSE;” that keeps right on “piling” up. More than that, the STOPPING of flour making machinery for 14 hours and then STARTING it again affects the QUALITY of the flour. We run this mill NIGHT and DAY, year in and yeiyc out We make French’s White Lily Flour 24 HOURS EVERY DAY, because the demand for it is so great. And by doing that we MORE THAN —<- CUT OUR “General Expense” IN TWO. We own ’our oWu water power plant and our own electric lighting plant. It costs us practic­ ally NOTHING extra to Tun them. By running 24 HOURS each day our taxes, insurance, interest on investment book-keeping, etc., hre NO more than they would be for 10 HOURS. Bo by hiring one or two men at night we get a>’4 HOUR OUTPUT for practically the same coat that a 10 HOUR run would amount to. In other words, we get practically a 14 HOUR OUTPUT for NOTHING. . But we put a LOT of that SAVING back into the QUALITY of French’s White, Lily*Floor. We use the best MICHIGAN wheat grown in this section. Our mill is equipped from basement to roof with the very latest and best of new machinery, ALL installed THIS year. We threw out a bet­ ter equipment of machinery than you will find in a great majority of flour mills in this country. We prepare our wheat better, we WORK our grain more, we grind it finer and more evenly. All thisCOST8 US extfa money, but it tells in the QUALITY of French’s White Lily Flour—that's why it’s better. , If we did not run night and day utidersuch favorable conditions' we could not afford to sell it at the price we do. As it is every user of French’s White,Lily gets a HIGH grade FLOUR at the same cost as an inferior flour. That’s WHY everybody likes French’s White Lily. That’s WHY jou.ought to use it Why not try it f Middleville Roller Mills, ... .EVILLE, R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor MICHIGAN �HASTINGS, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 22; TO10.

A great many people are, but we have solved the proposition for a large number. People generally do not associate Christmas presents with a hardware store.

We haven t space to enujxfer ate all that we have to offer, but here are a few suggestions: / Universal Coffee Perco• lat<> rs Shot Guns Rifles [ Sets PosAet Knives Strops O.V.B.

Perhaps you are sending your Jboy or girl through the district or city schools. It may be you arc planning to give them still higher training at College or Normal school. All the "book knowledge'’ you are giving them is to better prepare them for the life that is before them—and its a good investment. But all the “book knowledge” they get is fr 1 1 largely of the THEORETICAL kind. Very little of it is PRAC­ TICAL. The idea of ^phool is to train them to THINK. You are furnishing the money. You are sacrificing a good many things perhaps, for their good. Why not teach them the VALUE of a DOLLAR and encourage them to SAVE their MONEY? Why not deposit a sum to their credit in our Savings Department? Show them the advantages of saving. Encourage them to add to what YOU have given them. It will acquaint them with BUSINESS METHODS; it wilt stimulate them to "hustk;” it will encourage them to save. Such a Christ­ mas present wduld be practical. It would HELP them and would be worth more in EXPERIENCE to them than all the trashy, "pink lemonade” kind of presents that were ever made.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
