YOU WOULD VISIT THIS MILL WHERE WE MAKE French’s Flour .Yon could then see for yourself just WHY French’s White Lily Flour is so much better than others. If you would go through au ordinary mill, and then through this mill, you would note the differ­ ence at once. - make BETTER FLOUR than the-machinery we have in onr mill we BUY IT, and REPLACE the old. In that way we keep thia mill up io the very H1QHEST Standard of efficiency every minute and pro­ . duoe the BEST grade of flour that can be. produced. In the ordinary mill the sole aim is "QUANTITY”—to see HOW MUCH flour can be produced in 10 HOURS. It HAS to be that way in order to keep down the “GENERAE EXPENSE.” Sometimes the grain only passes through one set of rolls and some* times twp.' No effort can be made to get the flour down FINE, like French’s White Lily Flour, because that would take too much time—be too expensive. We regard “SATISFIED CUSTOMERS” as above any ques­ tion of COST to ue. Following thia policy has created such a de­ mand for French's White Lily Flour that for years we have been compelled to run night and day, year in and year out. And running night and day as we do is of benefit to every USER of French’s White Lily, because it guarantees an absolutely SMOOTH, EVEN "QUALITY.” It makes a flour that’s smooth and even all the way through. When you use it you KNOW, in advance that it> going to be just like the last sack you used. That’s why there’s no WASTE when you use French’s White Lily Flour. You USE every particle of it It’s the BEST flour that your money can buy. It’s less expen­ sive than any other because it goes farther, and you don’t have to throw any of it away. ( I ’ - . Why not cut down your living expenses by using French's White Lily flour! Others are doing it; why not YOUT At this mill you will see the grain passing through a succession of rolls.. The heart of the wheat Is rolled finer and finer and finer as it passes from one process to the next, until finally it cannot be any finer. And good flour must be FINE and EVEN. In the making of Flour, Dur aim is to produce the BEST, and to give users of French's White Lily Flour t|e BEST FOB THEIR MONEY. We do not care what new machinery COSTS. If it.will . -.. . ....

THE BEST FAMILY FLOUR YOUR MONEY CAN BUY IS French’s It means a great SAVING in TIME and MONEY, and a great UXTNING’irTSATISFACTION, to use this high grade flour in your kitchen, because it’s ALWAYS THE SAME and ALWAY8*RE- LIABLE. Your TIME is too valuable, and the cost of the ingredients with which you bake too great to risk FAILURE with a LESS DE­ FENDABLE flour. Every housewife, if ehe btopa to consider, can see how the LOWEST priced flour may be the MOST expensive to use. For in­ stance, there may be brands of flour that you can buy for a few cents leas per saqk than French’s White Lily Flour will cost you. But if you buy the cheaper brand and have to throw away one baking, or even a part of a baking, you can see how the cheaper kind would prove the MOST expensive. ’ v of constant THOUGHT and STUDY, aided by,EVERY mechanical process that will improve its QUALITY. Every SACK of French’s White Lily Flour is GUARANTEED to give SATISFACTION to the USER. If YOU should ever buy a sack of it, and it should not be satisfactory, all you have to do is to re­ turn it to your grocer and GET YOUR MONEY BACK or get a NEW SACK. You go into the homes of Barry County and ask the house­ wives what flour they are using. You’ll invariably receive the an­ swer: “FRENCH’S WHITE LILY.” There’s a reason for it _They have found after years and years of ACTUAL experience that FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is the CHEAPEST and BEST flour on the market You’ll find it the same. You’ll find it will cut down your living expenses because you’H use EVERY BIT of it. There won’t be a particle of WASTE as there is with other brands of flour. ’The beauty of Freueh’s White .JLjJy Flpur is that it is AL­ WAYS THE SAME. It's made after a plan that has proven very Bucceseful for more than 87 YEARS. It’s the RESULT o| 87 years . You are going to try French’s White Lily Flour this year, be­ cause it’s BETTER now than ever before. Why not begin NOW ? Middleville Roller R. T.

About For the pe,t 14 YEARS pur Mr. R. C. Fuller hu been the LUMBER BUYER for the Hastings Table Company, and for the PAST YEAR or more he bought ALL THE LUMBER for ALL of the FURNITURE FACTORIES IN HASTINGS, consisting of the Hastings Table Co., the Grand Rapids Bookcase Co., the Barber Bros. Chair Co, his purchases of lumber for these institutions amounting way up into SIX FIGURES each year. He will CONTINUE to buy for them. If he wasn’t a GOOD BUY­ ER and didn’t KNOW LUMBER he wouldn’t HOLD HIS JOB VERY LONG. Mr. Fuller’s intjmatc connection with the lumber business for all these years has taught hirh HOW TO BUY and WHERE to buy, to the BEST ADVANTAGE. And'buying in the large quantities in which he will, will enable this firm to make the VERY LOWEST PRICES. Our Mr. Roy Boyes is a CARPENTER and BUILDER by trade, as is his father, A. C. Boyes, so he comes naturally by it. However we will NOT do any contract work, confining our WHOLE EFFORT’to the SELLING OF LUMBER and ALL KINDS of BUILDING MATERIALS. Mr. Boyes will have active charge of the yafds. . Mr. Boyes being a carpenter and builder of many years experience, \iat■ urally has many splendid ideas about building. Anyone thinking about building and wishing the benefit of his opinion, can feel perfectly free to call and see him at ANY TIME, and WITHOUT ANY COST or OBLIGATION of ANY KIND to buy materials here. THE BASIS ON WHICH WE SOLICIT BUSINESS. We will do business ON THE “SQUARE." If we cap’t do fully as well, or DO BETTER, for you than anyone else we surely cannot expect your BUSINESS. With our CENTRAL location; with our splffiidid YARD EQUIPMENT; with our extended EXPERIENCE in both BUYING and HANDLING lumber, we KNOW that we can make you the LOWEST PRICES, and that you will find it to YOUR ADVANTAGE to buy HERE. No matter WHERE you live, if you contemplate building, or repaying we would like to hear from you. Let us figure your lumber Jiilk any way. It won't cost you a penny to get our prices. ON THIS BASIS WE SOLICIT YOUR trade and have enough income left to Saturday night, maklug two retire before they >rp too old to enjoy freshmen vletorir- *— their freedom. ’.

SOME REASONS WHY WE SELL French’ AT A LOWER PRICE THAN OTHER FLOURS We. want every reader of the Banner to read this advertise­ ment carefully. You are looking for the best for your money, and you are entitled to it This is especially true of food products—and nothing is as important for the family health and happiness as good flour. We want to give you a few reasons why we can and do make the very best quality of flour, and how we can and do, sell it at the lowest price. WHY WE CAN, AND DO, MAKE THE BEST FLOUR. . lef We have the great advantage of owning our own water power which is universally acknowledged to be the best arid steadiest power known. We own and operate our electric lighting plant with our water power. Consequently our power and lighting cost us prac­ tically nothing. Th0 dumand for French's White Lily Flour is so great that M we have to run this mill night and day, year in ana year out. Thia helps us in two ways:—1st By running night and day with water power our flour is always smooth and even in quality. 2nd, It more than cute dur “running expenses" in two. Most flour mills only run 8 or 10 hours a day and then stop. Ab a result their taxes, insurance, book-keeping, interest, rent and other expenses are just as great as if they ran St hours steady. Their flour-making machinery is idle from 14 toJG hours each day. The machinery “gets cold" and won't do good work until it gets warmed up and readjusted. That takes time, and likewise affects the quality of the flour. With this mill we hire two extra men at night and get the extra 14 hours output practically for nothing, as onr taxes, insurance, interest on investment, power, lighting, book-keeping, etc., are no more for 84 Anura than they wonld be for 10 hrurs a day. A th We’ve been making French's Whits'Lily Flour for over 37 years. We have learned a lot of things about making the best flour that show up in the quality of French’s White Lily. We use the best Barry County and Michigan wheat that money can buy. 2flri There isn’t a better equipped flouring mill in the whole conntry than we have. Faery machine is new and of the very latest and best pattern, and the whole equipment was newly installed less than six months ago. We own our mill and don’t owe a dollar, so we don't have to pay any large rent, and we don't have to pay any interest. . ’ . Now if you will think for just a moment yon jsvill see that all expense of power, lighting, rent and interest nave 'to be added to the cost of the flout^aud it's usually no small sum. With this mill it’s practically nothing as you can see. ■ Middleville MIDDLEVILLE HOW WE CAN AND DO MIX IT AT THE LOWEST PRICE. While we eave a lot of expense, aa we have explained above, yet we put back a lot of money in making French’s White Lily Flour of the very highest qdality. as we could mow you if you visited this mill. With ourlargeproduction all we charge is a small profit on each barrel. That brings the cost to you right dpwn to what you have to.pay- for an inferior quality. K That's why y> < ought to use French's White LilyFjour.

Among tho cause* ot fall pre, doubtlc**, were lack o( »uffiatent inoculatoln of the alfalfa bac­ teria, poor preparation of tbo teed bod, an acid condition of the soil, which la especially unfavorable to the action of tho alfalfa bacteria, and the use of seed which waa poorly adapted to Michigan conditions, -moat ot it having been Imported or coming from the southwest. where the climate la much more mild. The failure dFtho early, attempt* at growing alfalfa no doubt accounts for Its alow Introduc­ tion a* a permanent and Important crop of the state and haa led many farmer* to think, even to tbe preaent time, that alfalfa haa uo important place In Michigan agriculture. However, alfalfa growing has been conducted far more successfully dur­ ing the past five or six years than previously. While It fees require cer­ tain conditions of sweet eoil. thorough Inoculation, good seed bed. good seed, •to, the lack of any on* of which will cause Its failure, and while II Is usual­ ly considered to be a difficult crop to seed for the first time on tho farm. It haa been aucceesfully grown in the elate tor a sufficient length of time and.on a sufficient number of farms and under aurh varying conditions as to prove beyond a doubt that It has becouo a most valuable crop and a permanent acquisition to the crop pro­ duction of the state. Today no other crop Is receiving the attention among tho farmers of the state af Is being devoted to alfalfa, and many farmers are seeding large areas, some of them with little knowledge as to the spe­ cial Yequlremente of alfalfa culture. Tbe very slow Introduction of alfalfa la the state and tho Importance of having Ideal conditions should cantion aay one against sowing a large area la the first attempt. _J< would ba bet­ ter to try It first In a email way and learn bow It will do and the special treatment required for the conditions of the individual farm and then seed ft tn a larger way later. Whal should be the place of alfalfa la Michigan agriculture? It Is more progtable, pop than .doyer on lhe A lfalfa In comparing alfalfa and clover we find that clover Is more cheaply seed­ ed and seeded with leas risk of fail­ ure in getting a stand at least on fields which have not been previously seeded to alfalfa. While clover may not have a wider adaptability. Its eviltore is better understood. Clover al ad fits in better In tho more conimdn ro­ tations of crop practiced In the state. It seems desirable that a legume bo used as frequently ss possible In a abort rotation to help build up tha fertility of the whole farm. Alfalfa baa been little used In this way, while clover Is especially suited to short rotations. On the other hand, alfalfa when It is once well established Is more pro­ ductive than dover, producing from two to six tons per acre as compared with one to three tons from clover1, ths difference In yield being especial­ ly noticeable on the lighter, lees fer­ tile soils. Alfalfa bay la more njrtrltout, ot greater feeding value, and more palatable to stock than is clover hay. If Is less apt to be dusty and belter suited to the feeding ot horses. It also brings a bolter price on tho market, tbo difference frequently be­ ing as high as |5 to It per ton. Alfalfa Is a perennial .plant and makes a more or less permanent meadow. If seeded under proper con­ ditions It should remain productive for ten to fifteen . >«ara. Because of Its perennial nature the expense of seeding a number of years Is less than with clovar and the risk of seed­ ing and tho consequent risk of serious - interference with the plans of farm management, are practically done away with.- Many farms conialn little land suit­ ed to alfalfa growing, and upon these clover should continue io be grown as the main hay crop. There 1* a place for alfalfa, however, on practically •very farm In the state, with the ex­ ception of those that are ot little agri­ cultural value and thuae that contain no well-drained land. Most ot tho farms of the state contain a few acres of- -well-drained land usually near the barns, which should be devoted to alf­ alfa growing as a hog pasture, or for •oiling for other etock during dry weather and.short pastures.

NERO is grown, assorted, purified, roasted and blended by a modem process—the MOST modern process, in fact, of any in use today. 'i This process removes everything that does not con­ tribute to the coffee’s good; maintains a stronger “body;" prevents conditions which commonly cause the destruction of much of the rich coffee-flavor. In short it makes NERO COFFEE stronger-bodied, very rich in flavor, and perfectly healthful. There are other good coffees besides NERO, but there isn’t one of equal quality that sells for less than 35c per pound. NERO is 25c per pound. JUST ASK FOR “NERO."

In the west the prices of apple orcharda have reached almoat FABULOUS prices, aa high as $3,000 per acre-being paid for choicest orcharda, while $306 to $500 per acre is very ordinary. Evtgrpi^ knows and appreciates that western fruit, apples especially, do not COXf PARE in FLAVOR, with apples grown in Barry County. West­ ern apples are TASTELESS in comparison. Nevertheless the western apple growers are rapidly growing wealthy, while the fruit growing industry in Barry County is allowed to remain undeveloped and practically untouched. What’s The Reason Whtn..fl^e pioneera came Into Barry county and-set out*their or­ chards, thay* grew "CHOICE FRUIT, free from worms and scale, and wholly unlike the gnarly, wrinkled, wormy little things you see in the old orchards today. No attention was paid to those old orchards, "but the virgin soil was ■ .so rich that, the trees continued to produce for y«<rs. Often those old or­ chards were allowed to grow up with a heavy sod, and still they produced. People seemed to get the idea that-because they always had produced choice apples, that- they would always continue. They fertilized their fields for ", grain-gkowihghht the old apple orchard was-left to take care of itself. Tbe fruit grew small, gnarly, scabby and wormy. People concluded that ths “LAND WAS WORN OUT." Inasmuch as nothing had been done to enrich the soil after years of steady production, it wouldn't be strange if the soil was not as rich as it formerly was. But THAT was not the sole trouble. Science and investigation disclosed the fact that the trouble was due to insect lite. Spraying with proper solutions was found to be necessary. It has prov­ en a COMPLETE SUCCESS, not only in this county where tried, but in . others. We could give you a number of very striking instances of where old orchards had been trimmed up and sprayed, and very satisfactory returns followed. Don’t cut down your old fruit trees. There are hundreds and hundreds of acres of them that could^be turned to PROFIT if just a little attention was given them, and they were sprayed. A good many farmers are turning their attention to spraying. WHY NOT YOU?

To Make Both Spend Less Than Ends Meet You Earn No matter How Small your wages, always manage things so as to put away a portion of your weekly Earnings!'THRIFT" means "Getting Ahead In The World." The Successful Man or Woman, is the thrifty man or woman—the one who Saves. Thrift is not born of Idleness or Vagrancy- You cannot become a Saver if you dance a hole in every $5.00 bill that comes into your possession as the result of honest toil, or “blow” your money for things you can “do without” just as well. And don’t be a “pretender” and imitate Thrift by buying things you know you cannot afford. The “pretender” cheats no one but h tin self. The fact that you “cannot afford the price” is invariably Well Known and needs no apology. That extra dollar or two in the bank attests the fact that “ You Had The Price" and the "'Good Sense" not to spend it Foolishly. Put a spendthrift on horse­ back with a fat pocketbook, and he’ll soon close the chase with an*empty purse and a jaded nag in the bargain. Tbe best thing you can possibly do is to Begin Saving, and Begin Now while you are young,- and your “earning period” is at its best.

A Mexican officer and ten men were •eat back with tho flag of truce and all the priaocara, but It required sev­ eral days to secure tbe ransom, during which all overt acts were suspended, finally it arrived and waa paid over, the prisoners wefe delivered to their commander, and tho Mexicans return- A few days later the woman com­ mander gave up tbe command of the troops and want to the City ot Mexico, where* after the capture of tha capital aha met her husband.

Here is an unusual method of proving our determination to quickly un­ load. • We are devoting the entire front of our store for a few days to the showing and selling of the remaining Suits and Coats, also Skirts and Furs for women and misses. You can see these garments and note the prices before you step into the store. They will be sold directly from the windows—we will take out any garment you like, and as this stock diminishes, the end of the sale draws nearer. When these windows are emptied of these bargains, that settles the sale and the opportunity is closed.' We expect to see quite a number of shrewd and saving shoppers inspecting our window displays this week. Incidentally the garments Wooltex and Stylecraft make, the two recognized leaders in upto-date and worthy garments for ladies and misses, and we abso­ lutely guarantee each garment. Of course the remarkably low prices on such high grade garments make this a most note­ worthy sale.

We have Get Ready for Spraying PROMOTE the fruit growing industry of Barry County. There isn't a county in the slate that can grow BETTER fruit than this, The whole trouble has been that thia in­ dustry has be^n wholly neglected. Other counties and sUtes have taken it up and arc reaping REWARDS that Barry County should share in.* There are HUNDREDS of acres of old orchards in Barry County that CAN be made lo PRODUCE far LAR­ GER returns Ilian any other land on the fo^tu. Now if YOU want to revive that old orchard and MAKE IT PAY, don't put off "getting ready." BEGIN IfOW. The best aulhorities AGREE that the latter part o( MARCH is the proper time to make your first spraying for the SCAB, or liEFpRE growth has started. ' But BEFORE you do your FIRST spraylniffor SCAB, go through your orchard and PRUNE OUT ALL THE DEAD LIMBS and CUT BACK’ othcr* that have been SERIOUSLY INJURED or that ^re VERY HIGH. All surplus SHOOTS and BRANCHES that can be SPARED from the trees should be cut away, thus reducing the sur­ face to be sprayed, and making it possible to do a BET­ TER job. Prof. L. R- Taft, of the Michigan Agricultural College and State'Inspector of Nurseries and Orchards, says that the MOST EFFECTUAL REMEDY is the COMMER­ CIAL LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION. . If yop were at the Farmers Institute you will rememthat the lecturer* advised using the reliable commer- PHONE ■prey if you wish perhaps some CHEAPER than ?ou can BUY the READY-.MADE SPRAY, But ANY7-spray you MAKE yourself. WILL NOT BE AS GOOD, for THIS REASON. The SULPHUR in the solution is the active agent for KILLING^he scale. The "REX" LIME-SUL­ PHUR solution we ee.ll you will contain FAR MORE SULPHUR than any solution you can make yourself, be­ cause it is made BY MACHINERY, and*by a special pro­ cess of. the manufacturers. There is no SEDIMENT to 1 the "REX” Solution, andlt STAYS IN SOLUTION. A SEDIMENT, it will CLOG UP your spraying machine, and YOU'LL HAVE TROUBLE. You won't get as much SULPHUR as you will get in the "REX” SOLUTION, and you won't get as GOOD RESULTS. The "REX" \ SOLUTION we tel) you won't cost you much, and YOU will get the BEST results by USING it. We want to do what we can' to encourage the Fruit’.

Our Mr. Stowell was with Claud Carpenter, the Agricultural Implement dealer of Lake Odessa, for FOUR years. And for three years he was senior member of the implement firm of Stowell & Wunderlich^ of Coats Grove. . Our Mr. W. A. Scott has been employed by W. A.

Next Door East of Farmers Sheds on Court Street THREE WOMEN WERE HAVING FLOUR TROUBLES recently. They had been using another brand ol flour for a long time, and were not getting satisfactory results. Of course we advised them to use "PURITY FLOUR” because we knew that it would cute their baking troubles as it has cured them for all others who have tried it. One of these ladies said: ' ‘ •WELL, YOU CAN SEND ME 100 POUNDS AND I LL TRY IT” It has NEVER been the policy of this mill to LOAD PEOPLE UP with PUR­ ITY FLOUR. Wc would MUCH PREFER to have them order a SMALL QUANTITY at first, being FULLY CONFIDENT that they would "order more next time.” So we said to this lady: "Of course we wjuld be glad to send you the 100 pounds, and MORE if you' want it. But as you have never used it before, why not try a 25 pound sack'first ? That was agreeable to her. and she thanked us for .the suggestion. Shf/Used the 25 pounds. She was highly pleased with it. and THIS WEEK she gave us an order for 100 POUNDS. I lie other two ladies are equally de­ tabled will, PURITY. ■ • ■ «, There".

On or about March 6th we will start a French Dry Cleaning establishment'in con­ nection with onr laundry, and will do all kinds of work in that line. We have ordered an up;to-date equipment of the best machinery for this work, and have a separate building in which all such work will be done. ‘ - No matter how well your clothing may be made, nor bow good the fabric, after you have worn clothing, or wraps a few times, they become soiled, stained and mussed. With continued wear the garments assume wrinkles and creases, and they cease to look attractive. At this stage many suits of clothes, dresses, wrape, etc., are discarded. If yon have any ap­ parel of this kind, where the fabric is still good and whole, bring it to us. We *1B retnrii it to you all thoroughly cleaned, pressed, and practically as good as new. You’ll get a lot of good wear out of it, and the expense to you will be very small compared with the original cost Our French Dry Cleaning System will not only improve the appearance of your garm­ ents, but it will also materially lengthen their useful life. Articles of wear, or of house furnishings that will appear to be useless are made useful and beautiful again. ’ This branch of our business will be in charge of Mr. D. C. Whitley, of Indianapolis, Indiana. He has had 11 years of practical experience in this line, and conjee to us with the very highest recommendations. We will do all kinds of mending and repair work, pressing etc. and will guarantee any work we do. ' We are doing our very best to give the people of Hastings and vicinity the advantages of an up-to-date laundry, and we appreciate more than words can tell, the splendid patron­ age accorded us. We are making improvements and adding new and better machinery just as rapidly as we can get to it, and constantly striving to do better work. We are here to make good, and do so cheerfully. We try to be careful, but mistakes will sometimes happenWe can’t know about them unless you tell us. That’s what we ask you to do. No article of women’s wear Is too elaborate or delicate for us to successfully finish. Silk, satin and woolen dresses, tea gowns, opera cloaks, plain or fancy waists, saques,cloaks, wraps will be returned to you as if new and'without the alteration of a single piece of trim­ ming,-ripping a seam, or removing a lining. What is French Dry Cleaning? It’s a special process of removing all dust, dirt, irrinkles, creases, etc. from clothing that has been worn and making it practically as good as new. It’s a line of work especially well adapted to laundries, and many up-to-date landdriee are putting in French Dry Clean­ ing plants. We propose to be up-to date. For all kinds of men's clothing the French Dry Cleaning is not to be com pared with ordinary, pressing. French. Dry Cleaning will take out all the dirt, grease and spots and the entire garment thoroughly cleaned and freshened. We will also clean kid gloves. REMEMBER WE WILL NOT START OUR FRENCH DRY CLEANING DEPARTMENT UNTIL ABOUT MARCH 8th. WE WILL APPRECIATE YOUR ORDERS; CHARGE YOU A REASONABLE PRICE, AND GUARANTEE SATISFACTION.

The prices quoted above are less on most of the goods than I ever made before, al­ though I am accused of selling cheaper than any other man in the county, which I believe is true from the fact that I don’t canvass and can afford to do’it.

We fully appreciate it all, and we are going to aim to merit it. We are not going out after business on the basis of “Friendship?’ "Reiatibnship," or any other kind of “ship." We ARE going to solicit business on the SOLID ground of “MERIT” and “PRICE.”- If we can’t give YOU iust as good VALUE for your money as ANYONE else can, or if we can’t DO BETTER by you, then we CAN’T expect YOUR trade, because modern business -is not conduct­ ed that way. • Now we are going to handle a full line of Osborn Machinery.

The aim of the great Osborn plant has ALWAYS been to PROGRESS; to make farm ma­ chinery a little better NEXT YEAR than it was made THIS YEAR; until to-day ii would seem as if PERFECTION had been reached. So when you BUY an Osborn machine, you are not buying some uncertain new-fangled thing; you DO BUY the ACCUMULATED EXPERIENCE of YEARS of patient toil, study and experi­ ment, by the most gifted men in their line of work. We thoroughly BELIEVE in Osborn Machinery; we have CONFIDENCE in it; we KNOW it will “MAKE GOOD" when PUT TO THE TEST. We KNOW that if we SUCCEED we MUST make good. We MUST sell machinery that is RIGHT, and at PRICES that are RIGHT. Only in that way can we succeed./* We fully realize tom that we MUST gjve everyone a SQUARE DEAL and DO JUST AS WE AGREE. We both have many friends in Barry County and KNOW that ®ny SHADY DEALING on our part would HURT US far more than it would hurt ANY.CUSTOMER of ours.

MAKING The Best Flour ever made in the history of this mill. This ie NOT our unsupported state­ ment, but the unanimous opinion of all who are using ‘it. That PURITY FLOUR is winning friends wherever it is being'used - is proven by the FACT that MORE of it is being used right now than EVER-BEFORE. We are behind on our orders, and we are constantly taking on NEW CUSTOMERS. We are gradually OVER-COMING their FLOUR PREJUDICE. Of late a good many people have tried PURITY FLOUR, who NEVER would even give it a trial before. They felt in advance that they wouldn’t like it, so they wouldn’t TRY IT, to see whether they would LIKE IT. . That shows how strong one’s “flour prejudice” can be­ come. . . ” • . . . , • But when they give PURITY FLOUR'a FAIR TRIAL that settles the whole tyusiness. After they try PURITY they dontt WANT any other flour, because no other will give.them such good results. You CAN’T. BUY a BETTER FLOUR for the money. It isn’t made. Why don't you try 'it? We’ll give you full weight; a “square deal” and the B£ST FOR YOUR MONEY. Michigan Next Door East of Farmers Sheds on Court Str wife' visited tllnooo of their elater. BEDFORD.

I do not believe in it, but take this way to do my canvassing, and at the same time save the buyer some money. The prices quoted above are less on most of the gobds than I ever made before, al­ though I am accused of sellipg cheaper than any other man in the county, which I believe is true from the fact that I don’t canvass and can afford to do it. Now, remember the above prices arc not the regular prices, but are Special Low Prices, good for 30 days only. These prices should clean up. at least two carloads of wire fence. As you are till well acquainted with the fence, it being the same I have sold for five years, and have sold over 150 miles'in that time. Of the Sulky Plows I sold 29 last seasem.

Wed needsy. Mr ..,,.1 I! HARRY STOWELL W. A. SCOTT YOUR SPRING WORK Will Soon Commence A good many farmers will want to buy new farm tools of various kinds. Now in farm machinery, as in everything else, you can buy the GOOD kind, or you can buy the kind that is NOT SO GOOD. And you will pay aboi.it the SAME PRICE for EITHER kind. Now we have both had a lot of experience in SELLING farm tools and farm machinery of ALL . KINDS. We KNOW which kinds are BEST. We have found that the secret of-SUCCESSFUL farm tools is STRENGTH, plenty of MATERIAL, CORRECT PRINCIPLES and GOOD qual­ ities combined in the famous “GALE” line of implements, which we handle. The name “GALE” is a household word iti this country. The great Gale Manufacturing Co. has built up a wonderful business through the superior QUALITY of its output. You can buy a PLOW or CULTIVA­ TOR or most any other kind of implement that LOOKS WELL ON THE FLOOR, and that may possibly do fairly good work WHILE IT- IS NEW. But to make a tool that will do GOOD WORK FOR YEARS is ANOTHER THING. That is where you will find the “GALE” line to be STRONG. When you buv a GALE tool OF ANY' KIND you have an implement that •< will LAST and do you the BEST WORK for YEARS. We carry the G/kLE line. If.you want n .Walking Plow, Sidney Plow, a TWO HORSE or THREE horse plow, Spring-Tooth Harrow, Sbike-Tooth Harrow, Disc Harrow, Cultivators^' any kind,see our Gale.line before -ysiu buy.

Sometimes people do not stop to consider that it takes quite a long time for us to get the stone from the quarries in Vermont. Then after the stone gets here, we have to CARVE and LETTER it. That takes MORE TIME. And setting up the work takes more time. So YOU can see the necessity of placing your order NOW. And it doesn’t cost you a penny more by placing the order early, because you do not have j to pay a cent until the work is all set and satisfactory to you. Placing your orders now will real­ ly 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. By ordering now, we have time to pre­ pare the FOUNDATION for the Monument or Marker, and gives the foundation time to get FIRM AND HARD, ready to sustain the weight placed upon it. We were brought up to the Granite and Marble business, and can guarantee satisfaction. You can see samples of our work in the cemeteries. We ask you to compare the LETTERING with that of any other firm. Compare Our CARVING with that of any competitor anywhere. Compare the S LOCK we furnish, and our PRICES, quality considered, with any that will be quoted you. Wc buy only the BEST stock. We give every customer a SQUARE DEAL.

Write me WHITE IS KNOWN FOR ITS QUALITY It always "MAKES GOOD”—and that is what the world to-day DEMANDS. When you buy French's White Lily Flour you always KNOW that you are getting just as good a flour as there is made, and far BETTER than any flour you can buy for the same price. ' ' When you BUY aty product made by a success­ ful concern, you inVBnably get just as good as there is made, because it KNOWS how to make it in the best way. Anybody can grind wheat; anybody can make flour; but very few can make the best flour. That re­ quires knowing how to blend grains; Jt requires the best equipment of machinery and knowing how to use it after you have it. We know how. French’s White Lily Flour has achieved it’s SUCCESS because people have found it to be the BEST flour made AT THE PRICE. They have found it to be “always the same”. You can always know that the sack you buy TO-DAY will be just the same as the sack you 'bought last week, last month, or last year. French’s White Lily Flour will cut down your living expen­ ses, because you will USE IT ALL. You won’t have to throw any of it away because of heavy, doughy bread. In short French’s • White Lily Flour will make your wife’s work easier; will save work, worry and trouble, because it has real QUAL­ ITY back of it, ' It always MAKES GOOD. Why not try it?

Every one, of these manufactur­ ers irf^naking a machine designed after some DeLa­ val type of 10 to 20 years ago, and on which the DeLaval patents have expired. , NOT ONE of them is making the COM­ PLETE and PERFECT machine, such as the De­ Laval is making to-day, on which the patents HAVE NOT EXPIRED. No-one of them is making a Cream Separator today that DOES AS GOOD WORK aS, the DcLaval. No one of them makes a machine that RUNSa§ EASILY; that is CLEAN ED as EASILY; or that is HANDLED as EASILY as . the DeLaval.- None of them are BUILT as well or will LAST as long. .

IRONSIDE BROS NO STOP. Red Cedar Shingles For five years past 1 have been selling the BEST HAY AND STOCK RACK sold in Hastings— the LANSING. I have cold 110 of these racks. My price on this rack has been SU00 but for 30 DAYS I have priced it at $17.00. Last week a man came to my store to buy a rack. I showed him the rack, gave him the price, and then he said he wanted to look around. In a short time he comes* back and tells me he has bought a LANSING rack of Stowell & Scott. Now here is the Square Deal. Stowell & Scott never BOUGHT this rack from the Lansing Wagon Co., nor can they buy from them. But they bought this rack of some outside party, and shipped, or drew it, into my territory. This is what IJNCLE SAM would call smug* gling goods across the line, without paying the duty. Then they sold the rack for less than $17.00 in ord­ er to beat me. Now, my farmer friends, if Sto­ well & Scott resort to as low and despicable methods as this to beat me on a deal nf this kind, what will they not do to beat you ? ‘ Stowell is a nephew of mine, and I blush to think that a man, with a drop of Townsend blood in his veins, could be found who would stoop as low as this. As for Scott I hope he is not re­ lated to anybody. And still Townsend’s Special Sale goes right on. Step into tbe tide which is ever increasing, and make your way to my store.

You CANNOT continually’keep taking crops from the land, and keep up its FERTILITY any more than you can de­ posit a sum in the bank and forever keep drawing checks against it. You’ve GOT TO PUT SOMETHING BACK. Hastings dii light. Happily NATURE has provided the means /or the soil to maintain its own fertility. .Vegetable matter, when al­ lowed to DECAY, and return to the ckrth where it grew, returns ALL the elements of PLANT FOOD taken from the soil, and MANY MORE which have been gathered from the air and water and made available for plant food. Common barn-yard manure is the MOST VALUABLE of all fertilisers. It’s the ONLY ONE that COSTS NO­ THING. Every farmer should see the PROFIT TO HIM, of spreading his ham-yard manure upon his land, so as to get the FULL VALUE of it, before the vital elements of it arc leached or washed away. In selecting our line of implements our policy has been to only sell those .that we KNOW arc right'and which have "PROVEN” themselves. If you are thinking of buying a Spreader, don’t place your order before yop call and sec our KEMP’S 20TH CEN­ TURY MANURE SPREADER. According lo the Agricultural reports, the VALUE of the -fertilizing constituents of manure ig, from >2.50 to >7.00 PER TON. It is worth MORE than that when the INCREASE in crop yield is considered. Much . of the VALUE of manure is LOST if it is permitted to lay from early winter until next fall. The value is from ONE HALF to TWO THIRDS LESS than when it is kept drawn and spread EVENLY on the soil. Ml & SCOtt Implement Co. Michigan Next Door East of Farmers Sheds on Court Street to him.

FEIGHNER, Nashville, Mich. All equally little and equally great. Does ANYONE doubt the WISDOM of his words? Look around you today, and you will sec, ON EVERY SIDE, examples of men who, during their WORKING YEARS, spent their incomes REGARDLESS OF THE FUTURE. And NOW, in their DE­ CLINING years they are in SORE NEED of those COMFORTS which should be the portion of the AGED. Likewise in the same ebummunities, you will find men surrounded with PLENTY but who STARTED in life under much less favorable conditions than the class above mentioned. But they regularly saved a PORTION of theip earnings, so that when they could no longer rely upon their talents for a steady income, they would have a harvest stored up which would insure peace and plenty for their later years. then men.

ALFALFA SEED And our forefathers’ Apd our heads In contrition are boi It is universally recognized and conceded that if the farmers of this county would GROW ALFALFA it would at least DOUBLE the price of FARM LANDS. The one CHIEF reason WHY’ farm lands in the West command TWO to THREE times as much as thpy do in Barry County, and Michigan too for that matter, is BE­ CAUSE THEY GROW ALFALFA. Alfalfa is the great LAND BUILDER, and produces much MORE and BETTER hay than clover. Wc arc doing EVERYTHING that wc can to PROMOTE the agricultural interests of Barry County, and from our long experience in farming we are in a position to do it. Wc Lave in-vestigated the Alfalfa Seed proposition to FIND OUT where wc could get THE BEST SEED. Many farmers in Barry County are SUCCESSFULLY growing ALFALFA, A great many more will commence THIS YEAR. For the Benefit of ALE who are interested we will say that we have ALFALFA SEED TO SELL.

I am going to take this advertisement just to tell people something about BRAN and MIDDLINGS. When you want the BEST Bran and Middlings get those that COME FROM WINTER WHEAT. A good many dealers buy Bran and Middlings made from SPRING WHEAT just because they can buy them CHEAPER. A chemical analysis of the Bran and Middlings that come from SPRING WHEAT will CONVINCE YOU that they are ALMOST WORTHLESS as a FOOD for your stock. Just FOR THAT REASON the Bran apd Middlings from spring wheat CAN BE BOUGHT for a good deal less money than the Bran and Middlings from WINTER WHEAT. So EVERY. FARMER, or anyone else buying Bran and Middlings should KNOW what KIND he is getting—that is whether it’s from SPRING or WINTER wheat, . -—-• In making PURITY FLOUR we use THOUSANDS of bushels of the BEST BARRY COUNTY WHEAT. All of our Bran and Middlings come from WINTER WHEAT. When you buy Bran and Middlings here YOU GET THE BEST. When you want any, why not give this mill a trial. We ALWAYS have them in stock and wc sell at the lowest possible prices. Hastings Milling Co Fhon, 2*3 C. A. KEKK.

In both cases a largo body of fresh wa­ ter remote from the ocean contains or­ ganisms apparently marine. Both lakes, again, contain a very largo num­ ber of species not found elsewhere. lAke Baikal contains numerous salm­ on and seals, as well as three species of herring. It also contains a. few mollbaca of apparently marine forma. ‘ One of tho moat remarkable fea­ tures of the lake, perhaps, is that al­ though it Is froxen over for about five months In tha year tho anima! life la extremely abundant and varied. This may be partly accounted for perhaps by thsexistence of hot springs. One ot tha latest attempts to an­ swer the riddle-of Lake Baikal is that of the Russian investigator, M. Borg. Of the thirty-three species of Osh found in the lake bo finds that four toon are peculiar to it, while nineteen have a wide distribution in Siberia and Europe. Many of these peculiar ipocles are without near relations any­ where. Of the molluscs 90 per cent are peculiar. M.

WHITE IS THE BEST FOR THE MONEY Why not try it the next time you bake? Your grocer has it, and every elevator along the Michigan Central between Grand Rapids and Jackson, and every elevator between Kalamazoo and Woodbury, on the C., K. & S. R. R., handles it. You will find no other-brand of flour'that imparts to bread, cakes and pastries so appetizing a taste, and no other flour which makes such wholesome food. French’s White Lily Flour is a flour that is perfectly “bal­ anced.” This is due largely to the perfect conditions under which it is made. - •' ’ If you can imagine the best wheat grown passing through the best, newest and latest flour-making machinery that money can buy, and in a mill running continuously NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out, and operated by water power, you can see the perfect conditions under which French’s White Lily Flour is produced. And besides all this it is produced by the best skilled help that money can hire. You’ll find the French’s White Lily Flour we are making to-day is a great deal BETTER than it EVER was before. If you liked it in the past, you’ll like it a great deal better now. With our new equipment of machinery we are able to get every bit of the nutriment out of each kernel of grain, and it all goes into the flour. ’ • If you are having “baking troubles” why continue to “blathe yourself” ? • Why* not just try changing the flour? If you’ll try a sack of French’s White Lily you’ll find that that will solve all your troubles. “ And when you buy French’s White Lily, remember that you run no chances. We GUARANTEE EVERY SACK to please YOU; If it doesn’t satisfy you, you can return it to your grocer and get your money back. Why not try it to-day ?

CHIDESTER LEADING CLOTHIER French’s WL^TE Flour MAKES THE BEST BREAD There is no food product that should be as carefully selected as FLOUR. It is really the foundation of ALL LIVING. You take any home where there is plenty of good BREAD and BUTTER consumed, and you'll find a good, healthy family. In fact it would be a good deal better if we Would cut ' out ALL the “knick knacks" and eat MORE of the good, wholesome bread and butter. Now tbe QUALITY of the bread MUST depend VERY LARGELY upon tbe QUALITY of the FLOUR. You can't get away from that fact. There is just as much difference in the QUALITY of flours, as there is in the QUALITY of cottons, silks, sugars, or any other articles of merchandise. It depends VERY LARGELY upon HOW it is made. You wouldn't, or COULDN’T, expect the highest QUALITY of cotton, silk. or of any merchandise, to be made io factory, with an old out*o(*date equipment. The very same thing is true of FLOUR. For more than 37 YEARS we have been making French's White Lily Flour. That s been our EXCLUSIVE business. We have no other business. Our whole thought, time and attention has been devoted to that ONE thing— making French’s White Lily Flour. Naturally we've learned a good many VALUABLE "pointers’* from our long and close study of the business, that you DON T find "in the books.' We have found, in fact, that , our MOST VALUABLE knowledge as to HOW to make the BEST FLOUR, comes from that good old school of EXPERIENCE. In EVERY SACK of French's White Lily Flour that you buy, you get the BENEFIT of our 37 YEARS of experience. Its impowible to make the BEST flour without tbe BEST machinery, so last year we tore out every one of our old machines, and sold them as “second hand.” . We put in a BRAND NEW equipment of the latest and best flour making machinery that money can buy. When you buy a sack of French's White Lily Flour you get— 1st A flour that is made in a steady water*power mill that runs NIGHT and DAY the year round, which ALWAYS insures smooth, even QUALITY, that you NEVER can get in a mill that runs only a few hours a day ’ and then stops. /I. 2nd You get a flour made in a mill that has just as good an equipment of machinery as there is made, and operated by the best skilled help, and backed by 37 years of SUCCESS. * . You can’t buy BETTER flour than French's While Lily, because it isn't MADE. You can't buy as good, for the SAME MONEY. Why not try it and judge (or yourself? We would like to have you do so.

In th* recant laaue of th* publica­ tion of Jho alate health department, a warning to sounded against tha Aonger of the Insidious gerifi* of typhoid feve^ which may be conveyed into the ■yatem of drinking Imppre water.

"The most scrupulous care should be taken,"* say* Public Health, "to protect the public water supply In tho different communities, and It should be procured from place* where there can be no probability of immediate or remote contamination." The above word* of warning from the alate board of health, leads-one naturally to Inquire what has been done toward* safeguarding thia comtnunltv from ' the danger of an epi­ demic threatened by lhe continued use ot cess pools a* weila? Il-leads one also to wonder whether this all Important question ha* not been lost sight of Ju»t at the time when It was decided that definite action should be taken. It to generally known to every cit­ izen that analysis of tho city water by an official of the Mate board of health ■howed thet It wm Inoculated with effluvia frLn the old wells used us ce*a pools. When the question was brought before the council last fall it waa discovered that about sixty of these well* were in u»e. There wn*. of course, protest against abandoning them In the winter owing to the diffi­ culty of digging vaults and laying aawera. So far a* Is known only one of these old well* ha* been abandoned, and the man who filled It and connect-' ed it with a sewer ia an enterprising citizen who haa the welfare of the city at heart. . For lhe cillsens to permit the con­ tinued use of these old well* I* sub* Joeting- the public to an Impending danger, which I* absolutely unnecess­ ary.

A water vein once , Inoculated with Kerma will require the- Inatallatlon of a coati;- purifying plant before It la lit to uae. and even with thia safeguard It will always be regarded with more or leaar suspicion. . Viewing the condition at any angle, only one move eeema practicable— that la to compel the-lmmedlale aban­ donment and tilling of all old well* now used aa cess pools: 10 compel those who are using them to connect with lhe nearest sewer: or If this sewer Is too far away to require them to uee vaults temporarily, or until the city provides sewers In th* future. Through the** old wells flow lhe water which ultimately reach** the city wells. Germa onde lodged In the walaz-bsering gravel are ineradicable. Such gravel once Inoculated with them can never be purified. Any per­ son afflicted with a disease who use* one of these old wells will spread the disease serins throughout the water vein. If a'nythlng to to b* done to atop thia public danger It should be donr at once, for reason* apparent to any person with common sense.

BULL 40 lbs OF "PURITY” FLOUR For Each Bushel Of Your Good Wheat It doesn't make any difference to us WHERE the PRICE of wheat goes tc, whether WAY UP. or WAY DOWN, you can always get 40 LBS. of PURITY FLOUR at this mill in EXCHANGE for each bushel of good wheat. You never got but 35 POUNDS in exchange before we started in busi­ ness here. So we've SAVED 5 POUNDS of flour for’every farmer in Barry county who exchanges wheat for flour. And you can get 40 POUNDS here at ANY TIME. There are some elevators that have been exchanging 40 POUNDS of flour for a bushel of wheat. Some have QUIT doing it, because they laid in thefr gtofk of flour when wheat was HIGH, and flour was HIGH. Now that wheat has gone DOWN in price they CAN’T AFFORD to exchange 4ott>s. of their HIGH COST flour for a bushel of your ‘‘lower" priced wheat. Fanners, don't you honestly think its worth your while to encourage the institution that FIRST gave you 40 pounds of flour for a bushel of your wheat and “sticks to it” through “thick and thin." Just think it over.

To know the reason that brings so many people to this yard, and from long distances, many of them, when other lumber yards are nearer. To be sure There’s a Reason. It’s worth your finding out. And when you do you will come here too. The truth of the matter is, so our customers tell us, that they get a better grade of lumber and building materials for the money at this yard; they find their money goes farther here. And that has satis­ fied them, and made them our regular customers. If you are going to do any building or repairing, or make any improvements in your buildings, will you let ' z us make figures on the lumber and building material?

Term to Salt Hrihiin The Very Best Cooks , Are Always Particular About Their Flour Barry County has a reputation for its excellent cooks. You go into the great majority of homes and you will find good nice, light white bread, and delicious pastries. You ask the housewife what flour she uses, and she will invariably tell you: “FRENCH’S WHITE LILY.” There is MORE French’s White Lily Flour sold in Barry County than 'ALL OTHER FLOURS COMBINED. Every elevator and every leading merchant who deals in flour, handles it Every housewife who buyg French’s White Lily Flour, gets something . MORE than just flour—she get* GUARANTEED FLOUR—flour that is positively GUARANTEED to PLEASE her. She get* a flour that stand* without a SUPERIOR for PURITY; for EVEN QUALITY, for being AL­ WAYS THE SAME. . - And French's White Lily Flour doesn't COST YOU any more than the ordinary kind of flour. It’s the-BEST flour that you can buy forJfOUR . MONEY, and we will tell you WHY. We run our big mill night and day " year in and year out. That cut* our operating expenses down by more than half. By putting on a night shift, we get a 24-HOUR OUTPUT for very little more than what a 10-HOUR run would cost us. Our insurance, taxes, .bookkeeping, interest on investment, etc., are no more for a a4-hour run than they would be for a 10-HOUR run, *0 we get a I4-HOUR- OUTPUT of French’s White LUy Flour at ALMOST NO EXPENSE. And by running night and day French’* White LUy Flour is always smooth and even in QUALITY. >If we ran our mill only 10 HOURS a day, the QUALITY would NOT be a* good and even, because you can’t run flour making machinery for 10 hours, and then let it “cool off” for 14 hours, without affecting the QUAL- ' ITY. /!• Running continously night and day, year in and year out, enables us to put out the BEST QUALITY of flour, at a LOWER PRICE than any other flour of it* quality now on the market That’* why the great majority of people in Barry County DEMAND it That’s why YOU ought to use it.

All that those firms WANT is to get the names of people in Barry County who are INTERESTED in BUY­ ING pianos. The EASIEST way that they can get those NAMES is by put­ ting out easy “puzzles" for people to answer, and send in with their NAMES. Now we are here to meet ANY COMPETITION.

JOLURS MIHM FUN' WE ARE ALWAYS IN THE MARKET FOR GOOD WHEAT Why not sell it to the one who has made the GOOD MARKET for you? . In making Purity Flour They are divided into profits by three outside classes—the outside farmer; the outside miller; the outside railroad. You get no money from any of them. They do not help PAY .your taxes, and they BUY nothing from YOU. yes; !M” E SEVERAL WHY Iks Squarely "Hart Schaffner > So far as they are concerned, it is “TAKE EVERYTHING’’ and “GIVE NOTHING IN RETURN.” Why not keep our money circulating among ourselves AT HOME, so we may have MORE of the good things of life ourselves. And especially so when you can get just as good QUALITY; just as HONEST weights; and just as LOW, and even LOWER prices. we use nothing out the BEST Barry County wheat, and we ... gom, <0 CONTINUE to use it, just as long as we can buy it, because Michigan wheatja^the BEST flour-making whedt. Thus the thousands af dollars that we PAY the farmers for their wheat, and the money YOU pay for "PURITY FLOUR" all STAYS AT HOME and improves your market and eventually will get back to YOU instead of going so FAR away that it can NEVER GET BACK. YOU CAN T BUILD UP A PROSPEROUS-COMMUNITY, AND YOU CAN T ENJOY THE GREATEST PROSPERITY YOURSELF BY SENDING YOUR MONEY AWAY FECTS FROM THE HOME.

Before we began business, COMPETI­ TION was oltenpaying as low Jas 10 or 12 cents BELOW the Detroit market, While NOW we are often paying DETROIT PRICES. Farmers who keep track of the markets will verify this statement. ||| Why Not Help The One Who Has Helped You? THINK IT OVER of it is being MADE than ever before. People who try it ALWAYS LIKE IT.

He will tell you that the Lansing Silo is the best investment he ever made. With one of them you can feed twice as much stock. And because of your increased facilities you get practically DOUBLE the crop-and with NO INCREASE OF LABOR. The great problem to-day in business and industrial circles is to IN­ CREASE PRODUCTION at NO INCREASE OF* EXPENSE. And that’s just what the Lansing Silo does for the farmer. It is NO MORE WORK to fill a Silo than it is to cut, shock, haul and fffed dry, and EVERY PARTICLE goes into your silo. The weather cannot harm it so EVERYTHING IS SAVED "It enables stock to get the CORN and the ROUGHAGE at the same time, which for cattle arleast, makes the grain and roughage more valuable The Lansing Silo Is Admitted To Be Phone 1 Thl Best Silo For The Fanner 206-208-210 Stall St Silage is a health promoter and an excellent feed. It 8 the only perfect substitute for June.grass the year round. Stock relish silage as much in July, August and September as they do the best of grass in June. Don’t overlook the FACT that there is just as much DIFFER­ ENCE in SILOS, as there is in wagons, buggies, lumtyer or any other commodity. When you buy YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Don t make the mistake of buying a Silo just because it s CHEAP. You’ll regret it if you do. You won’t get the RESULTS that you OUGHT to get, and it won’t be the MONEY-MAKER it ought to be. Lansing silos are made of the best selected materials. They are constructed in . the most SCIENTIFIC manner. You’ll have no trouble in setting it up because every piece is simple and MATHEMATICALLY' CORRECT, and your silo will be air-tight. Write us, soe us or phone us, if you. arc thinking of building a silo, and we will send you some descriptive matter regarding the Lansing Silo.

Making the Best Flour Is More Than Just “Grinding Wheat” Don't you ever get the idea that “making flour" is simply "grinding up wheat." If that were all there is to it, then one man could make just as good flour as another, and EXPERIENCE wouldn't be necessary. But every housewife KNOWS that there REALLY IS a BIG DIFFER­ ENCE in flour. She KNOWS from experience that one brand of flour may produce good bread one time; POOR bread the next time; and even WORSE bread the next time. On the other hand she KNOWS that a certain other brand of flour AL­ WAYS produces the BEST BREAD. She KNOWS that if she uses the same amount of flour; prepares the bread in about the same manner; and bakes it in about the same way, that she will ALWAYS have nice, white delicious bread, that it is always, a delight to eat. It's in the MAKING of the flour. If you would INVESTIGATE for YOURSELF (and not take anybody’s word for it) you would find that the POOR flour was made in a mill with an old, or out of date, equipment of machinery. You would find the GOOD flour made by the BEST machinery, by skilled workmed, and under the BEST conditions. It's VERY LARGE­ LY in WORKING the wheat, and KEEPING MACHINERY RUNNING EVENLY all the time. That is where we have the ADVANTAGE of almost ANY MILL IN THE COUNTRY. We have the BEST EQUIPMENT of flour-making machinery that MONEY CAN BUY. It is ALL NEW and of the VERY LATEST PAT­ TERN. ’ . We keep this big mill running night.and day, in and year out, oper­ ating ENTIRELY by WATER POWER. We work our wheat BETTER. We get all the "flour-goodness" out of it. One LOOKS just as good as the other. In fact the POOR FLOUR may even LOOK better than the other. You take a sample of each of them in your hands, and you would say that "one of them was just as good as the other.” But you let the wife make several batches of bread from a sack of EACH of those flours, and SHE will tell you that there is a "big difference.” Now WHERE is the difference in those two brands of flours? We will tell you. That’, why FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR ta BETTER thin ,ny other, and by running night and day we can PRODUCE it at a LOWER COST than ANY FLOUR MADE. That’s WHY we sell it at a price SO LOW that it don’t COST YOU any more than you would have to pay for flour of the ordinary QUALITY.

YEARS AGO. tho PRICE «» pieced at $140 per month, or $7.00 for the season. The question of QUALITY was scarcely considered, and "almost anything would do.” Labor at that time was VERY LOW, and the EXPENSE of putting it up waa VERY MUCH LOWER than it is today. Since that time the price of nearly evenrthing excepting ICE, has greatly increased. Today we have to pay MUCH MORE for labor, teanf work, and everything else, but the price of ICE haa remained the same—$1.40 per month, or $7.00 tor the season. With the constantly in­ creasing COST of putting up ice, and no increase in the . price, the ice business for several yean past has not been a profit-making proposition. . . Selling ICE is our BUSINESS during the Summer months. It’s a pure BUSINESS proposition just the same as selling hardware, dry goods or anything else. For our investment, and for the risks we take we are entitled to make a REASONABLE PROFIT, but for several yean past we have not been doing it—and IT CAN NOT BE DONE under the old prices. Our customers have demanded a BETTER QUALITY of ice than they used to get, and we have aimed to supply that demand. We could have gone to some of the lakes around Hastings and put up plenty of ice, but we couldn't get the QUALITY. So we went down to LONG LAKE in Hope town­ ship. which is a DEEP LAKE and WHOLLY fed by LIVING SPRINGS, and furnishes as good a QUALITY of ICE as can be found in Michigan. We cut ALL of our ICE from LONG LAKE, and iftip it to Hastings by FREIGHT, just to get the QUALITY, but we have nyyer charged any more than the ofd established price of $1.40 per month for household purposes. The price of ICE in Hastings is LOWER than in any city of its sixe in Michigan that we know of. The increase that we have made in price is very small, and we are certain that’when our customers con­ sider this matter that they Will recognise the fairness and justice of our position.

B B B B B B B B Our Piano Sale Is Attractive Many People During the past week a good many people have been attracted to this store on account of our big PIANO SALE. We sold several Pianos. We would have sold several more, but it’s a FACT that the people were really “frightened" because OUR PRICES were SO LOW. We KNOW that our PRICES are LOW? We MADE THEM LOW just ON PURPOSE. We have told the people that we would SAVE them from $75 to $ioo on their purchase of a Piano—and we are here to MAKE GOOD. We don't care who you are, nor where you live; we don't care whether ypu have one of those so-called "CERTIFICATES,” or a “LETTER OF CREDIT” for $50, $75, or $100, . that you obtained for answering an EASY, SIMPLE PUZZLE that didn't take TWO MINUTES of YOUR TIME to figure out—WE LL SAVE YOU MONEY ON YOUR PURCHASE OF A PIANO. Now if you hold one of those “Certificates" or "Letters of Credit," don't you think for a minute that you are going to get a "BARGAIN” on a Piano just because you have one of them. Putting out ’ these easy “picture puzzles" andoficring a big prize, has afforded outside piano dealers a cheap way of getting a list of names of people interested in buy­ ing pianos. We don’t know of ANYONE in Barry County who ever won a CASH PRIZE for answering one of those easy “Picture Puzzles,” do you? There are hundreds and hundreds of people in Barry county who received those "CERTIFI­ CATES” or “LETTERS OF CREDIT."

Here is what one of them said to me, “You ought to be kicked to death by a Donkey, and-1 would like to be the one to do it too.” I never before really thought this fellow belonged to the long eared class. I knew he brayed a lot, but I had never got the exact length of his cars until he called my attention to them. But sure enough he is right. . I don’t canvas to sell goods, I don’t believe in it.

And it was also the cause of the linemen’s remarks. But while I am waiting to be kicked to death I shall continue to sell direct from the store, and shall not send out canvassers for the farmers to pay.

The merchants and professional men cordially lent their aid in advertising our Assembly and Home Com­ ing, when wc called for their enyelopes. Some 12,009 were furnished and when printed were duly returned and now practically every business letter that goes out to the surrounding country and even to the great cities, will bear evidence of Hastings & Barry County's en­ terprise and up4o-dateness. • ' . , If others are willing to aid in this and will furnish your envelopes, they will be printed with Chautauqua announcement free of charge and returned promptly. ' . By the time this appcanC-in the newspapers we expect that our program committee will visit every place of business in behalf of our seventy page catalog. This book will be well gotten up, with full information of all Chautauqua matters, talent, program, sports, music,, tenting privileges, dining hall, season tickets, coupon tickets, ’children’s rates, Home Com­ ing speakers and exercises and every thing connected with the assembly. Cuts and write­ ups of speakers and entertainers, base ball schedule and a full daily program will be included. About 8,600 of these will be printed and will be sent free to every family in the county. They are for.free distribution. No better advertising medium could be asked, and we trust the business men of Hastings and of Middleville and Nashville will take advantage of the oj>portunity to help both themselves and th’e Chautauqua. . The following rough outline of the program can be given at this time. There will no ■ doubt be many additions as the different departments adjust themselves. Besides what is hereinafter given, there will -be numerous reunions and sports and probably sbme platform attractions added or changed. But enough can be seen at this time to insure a -feast of good things such as Barry County never had before.

Efforts at growing Alfalfa in this County in the past have been very largely experimental. But it has been DEMONSTRATED BEYOND QUESTION that Alfalfa can be, successfully grown in Barry County and that ' our soils are especially well suited to growing it. Many fanners in this county arc going into growing Alfalfa on quite an extensive scale. Every acre in this county, on which there is a good stand of Alfalfa is easily worth Xioo, and will PAY’ good interest on that investment. When you get a good catch of Alfalfa It will contip^c to produce for YEARS. It is not only a'great soil-builder, but it will produce MORE and BETTER hay than clover. If you are going to sow Alfalfa, you want to be very particular about your SEED. We have made a study of the Alfalfa question. We have the RIGHT ‘ KIND of Alfalfa seed for sale.

Phone 18 Edmonds Bros The Elovstor Men Hastings Michigan �Weak Heart HASTINGS WINS THE ORATORICAL COMTEST You'll Not Got Your Wires Crossed THE STORY OF PROGRESSIVE TANNING At a recent convention of the National Association of Tanonera of America, the President (Mr. August H. Vogel) in his address, touched <jn a question of a peculiarly delicate char­ acter. After deprecating tha stuffing processes, by which sole leather may be loaded with weighting materials, he expressed the view that American sole leathers had deteriorated in qual­ ity of late years, and that the export trade of American tanners would be affected to the extent that their foreign competitors declined to follow in their footsteps. “Would it not be fair to the customers." he asked, “to give them an opportunity to choose between weighted and unweighted leather, by publish­ ing a chemical analysis of our sole leather and allowing them to decide how much extra free tannin, Epsom salts and glu­ cose they wish to buy? If this was done, I have no hesitancy about predicting the result which would follow, and we could local hiwi again make an honest product with a fair margin of profit to ourselves." • In other words, Mr. Vogel believes that honesty is the best policy, which in the long run is undoubtedly a sound bus­ iness maxim.. This, at any rate, has been proved in the case of Mimosa-tanned leather from Australia. George VanTIfflin ‘ HASTINGS, MICH, lakurtan it tip Sllita'i Jmlt) Stin A few years since complaints were frequently heard of the inordinate adulteration of Australian sole hides with ma­ terials which were employed simply for the purpose of adding .weight The commerce act of the commonwealth, however, compels the exporter to affix to each consignment a declaration of the proportion of' adulterants used, whether they be glu­ cose, Epsom salts, or barytes.

[Hr Washington, Jan. a—Fraudulent “loading** of leather by the use of glucose and other materials is being practiced to an immense extent, to the great detriment of the quality of man­ ufactured shoes, according to information laid before Congress ’by Dr. Wiley, the chemist of the department of agriculture.

ALLEN Once that method came into vogue, the incentive to use weighting substances, which are invariably injurious to the health of wearers would be removed. “Practical" leather men tell us that such a revolutionary change is improbable. We are not sure that the objection they advance is really insuperable or that it is well founded. The present custom permits of methods of manipulation Which are indefensible, and which no one is willing to advo­ cate openly. Many tanners are, we admit free from reproach in this respect, but what a much better chance these would have in the selling market if all their competitors were com­ pelled to offer theTr product for what it actually is instead of what it is falsely described to be.* leather, and has pronounced the work a “simple fraud." "Especially is sole leather loaded, which ought not to be," said Dr. Wiley. "Glucose adds to the weight of the leather, and of course when you go out into the wet and snow, the glu­ cose, which is soluable, runs out and the water runs into its place. There ought to be. some-law to prevent the practice.’* • Burt & Packard Co. Makers of the “Korrect Shape” and Burrojap Shoes and Oxfords Don’t Suffer Get a package of Caparine today.

Onesto* t*.*UB< MWb Drag A CUdcsl C*., U£ It must however, be confessed that proposals of that char­ acter stand little chance of acceptance so long as certain classes of leather are sold by weight. Chrome leathers, which are sold by measurement, are never mentioned when the sub­ ject of adulteration is discussed, for it is much easier to add to the weight of a hide or skin than to extend its superficial area. Why not adopt some system under which sole leather could be quoted by the square foot instead of by the pound? Information Laid Before Congress by Dr. Wiley, the Chemist of the Department of Agriculture. K k » r- ' The result is that users of Australian sole leather in this country are unable to obtain supplies in sufficient quantities, so much is that’class of material sought for. We cannot say the same thing regarding the sole leather from America, which is, as a rule, in plentiful supply. We do not suggest that the American tanner is the only sinner in this respect; there are some British tanners who would protest vigorously if asked to declare whether their products were pure or loaded with ingredients used for weighting purposes only. But there can be no doubt that, Mr. Vogel's suggestion is an excellent one, and would, if adopted benefit both tanner and leather con- Ing the apparatus used In staging tha play "Ya Old English Pastimes," to b« given by tha music department of the grades, this spring.

Thurs- BelqqLto an organization of Shoe Makers that tan their own sole leather. Thia organization emphasizes its entire ap­ proval of the views expressed above and to show to the wear­ ing public that TITE-OKE sole leather is free from cheap, weighty stuffing which has brought shoemaking into such bad repute. Inferior, cheaply weighted sole leather has no part in shoes manufactured by BURT & PACKARD. TITE-OKE sole leather is produced in their own tannery, and is used exclusively by the members of the organization. It is impossible to secure TITE-OKE sole leather other than in shoes produced in the various plants of the organization. Not a single pound of TITE-OKE sole leather is sold only when manufactured into shoes, therefore there the weight in pounds does not in any way interest the tanners of it. As not a single pound of TITE-OKE sole' leather is sold there is no object in increasing the weight, * ere *is no advant* age to be derived by filling it with cheap w [hty stuffing. TITE-OKE sole leather is tanned by a'1 superior process which draws the fibers dose and knits them firmly together, producing a sole leather that is as near waterproof as it is pos­ sible to make it. TITE-OKE sole leather concerns every human being from a health standpoint as well as from a point of service. I TITE-OKE is the best sole leather produced.

Hastings Dollars Buy “Hastings Flour There are some people who seem to have an idea that if they send away, they get something BETTER. Every dollar they send away is taken right out of the community, lit helps to BUILD UP outside communities at the EXPENSE of our •own. ' Now when it comes to Flour, there are some people who BUY flour that is made outside. PURITY FLOUR is JUST AS GOOD as the BEST, and it sells for JUST AS LOW A PRICE. If the people of this community would BUY Purity Flour that is made here, it would keep this mill running night and day. It would enable us to make Hastings a STILL BETTER MARKET. You would be leaving your MONEY with us, and we would ■ HAVE to SPEND it here, because we USE NOTHING BUT BARRY COUNTY WHEAT. Your money would STAY HERE, rather than be sent OUTSIDE to build up other communitis. NOW WE COULD NOT EXPECT THAT YOM WOULD USE PURITY FLOUR UNLESS IT WAS JUST AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER AT THE PRICE. If these people would give PURITY FLOUR a TRIAL they would find it just as SATISFACTORY in EVERY WAY. But they seemingly have become so wedded to the outside brands they will not even give PURITY a FAIR TRIAL. THAT IS WHERE “FLOUR PREJUDICE” COMES IN We have made HASTINGS one of the BEST wheat markets in ^Michigan. ' • ' We have ACTUALLY SAVED the farmers of Barry County­ thousands of dollars each year by giving 40 POUNDS of PURITY FLOUR in EXCHANGE for EACH BUSHEL of good wheat. Be­ fore we started you never got but 30 (o 35 pounds of flour in exchange for a bushel of wheat. It’s BECAUSE we KNOW that it IS just as good that we feel justified in ASKING that YOU give it a FAIR TRIAL. Purity Flour is made by the best of machinery. We KNOW HOW to make the BEST FLOUR because that has ALWAYS been our business and we have NO OTHER BUSINESS. Our machinery all works with AUTOMATIC FEEDERS, always assuring a flour that is granular and smooth like velvet. Our machinery is driven by ELECTRIC POWER, that is not ex­ celled (even by water.) Every condition for making the BEST FLOUR is present in this mill. That’s why PURITY FLOUR is of such high QUALITY, and because of it’s QUALITY is the reason YOU should at least give it a FAIR TRIAL Hastings Milling Company PHONE 283 nrZUU ftE .

We want to show you the • Flying Dutchman*’ Variable Drop Corn Planter It has the edge drop or flat drop—nothing to . change but the plates. It drops either 2, 3 or 4 kernels, affd you can make the change while the planter is in motion. You can get one with fertilizer attachment if you wish. The Flying Dutchman Variable Drop Corn Planter has fliany valuable features not found on other planters. It has been THOROUGHLY TESTED in actual field work by hundreds of farmers in different parts of the United States, and the unanimous verdict is that there is no other machine on the market that approaches it. It’s easy to operate, neat in appearance. Each part is so arranged that it does its work with the least’possible ambunt of wear, making it a very long lived machine. It will last you for years.

COUNTS EXPERIENCE Making The Best Flour Is More Than “Grinding Wheat” Don’t you ever get the idea that "making flour” is simply "grinding up wheat.” If that were all there is to it, then one man could make just as good flour as another, and EXPERIENCE wouldn’t be necessary. But every housewife KNOWS that there REALLY IS « BIG DIFFER­ ENCE in flour. She KNOWS from experience that one brand of flour may produce good bread one time; POOR bread the next time; and even WORSE bread the next time. On the other hand she KNOWS that a certain other brand of flour AL­ WAYS produces the BEST BREAD. She KNOWS that if she uses the same amount of flour; prepares, the bread in about the same manner; and It’s in die MAKING of the flour. If you would INVESTIGATE for YOURSELF (and not take anybody’s word for it) you would find that the POOR flour was made in a mill with an old, or out of date, equipment of machinery. You would find the GOOD flour made by the BEST machinery, by skilled workmen, and under the BEST conditions. It s VERY LARGE­ LY in WORKING the wheat, and KEEPING MACHINERY RUNNING EVENLY all the time. That is where we have the ADVANTAGE of almost . ANY MILL IN THE COUNTRY. We have the BEST EQUIPMENT ot flour-making machinery that MONEY CAN BUY. It is ALL NEW and of the VERY LATEST PAT­ TERN. bakes it in about the same way, that she will ALWAYS have nice, white We keep this big mill running night and day, year in and year out, oper­ ating ENTIRELY by WATER POWER. We work our wheat BETTER. delicious bread, that it is always a delight to eat. We get all the “flour-goodness” out of its Otje LOOKS just as good as the other. even LOOK better than the other. In fact the POOR FLOUR may You take a sample of each of them in your hands, and you would say that "one of them was just as good as the other.” But you let the wife make several batches of bread from a sack of EACH of those flours, and SHE will |«11 you that there is a "big difference." Now WHERE is the difference ih those two brands of floura? tell you. We will That’s why FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is BETTER than any other, and by running night and day we can PRODUCE it at a LOWER COST than ANY FLOUR MADE. That’s WHY we seU it st a price SO LOW that it don’t COST YOU any more than you would have to pay for flour of the ordinary QUALITY. ’ French's White Lily Flour is the BEST FOR YOUR MONEY.

It is just this spirit of willingness and helpfulness that is going to make the Assembly a success. A long, strong pull, a pull all together will do won­ ders. The booklet will be out by May 15th or thereabouts, and will be a complete gui.de to the people, giving necessary infor­ mation in regard to all departments. When-you get your bdoklet don't throw it away. You will need it when you come S' the Assembly. Besides information as to season tickets, ngle admissions, tents, camping concessions, baseball and Home Coming, there will be the daily program telling just when every attraction will appear. 'So the book will be a . guide and needs, to be kept. At a meeting of the directors a short time ago the following rates for admission and season tickets were adopted. Adult season ticket, non transferable, admitting only owner whose ■ame is written thereon $2.00 for ten days. Owner can pass in and out at will, any day of Chatitauqua^-bctwcen hours of 8 o'clock a. m. and 10 p. m.. Children's season tickets, nontransferablc. to pass ii^and out at will for hours named above —ior.Ua (lay*,.with name on ticket $1.25. Adults transferable ten coupon ticket, to be used by family or group of persons, good for ten single admissions. $2.00. This ticket not lo be - sold after the opening day of Chautauqua, June 27th. Children's transferable ten coupon ticket, good for ten single admissions for children $1.00. Single admission, adults^ 25 cents. Single admission, child's, 15 cents. Any person pay­ ing admission cither by Mupon ticket or single admission can remain on the grounds the rest ofi the day and take in all the " attractions. The cheapness of this schedule of prices is seen, when you realize that all we have to present, baseball, addresses, music, entertainments, fireworks, are open to you when once you enter the grounds. There is no admission to pay to anything else except a 5 cent reserve scat at our entertainments. A person getting a season ticket or a ten coupon ticket for $2.00 could hear and see the whole program, and the cost of each entertainment would be less than five cents each. Persons over 12 years old must buy adult tickets. Children between ages of seven and twelve must have children's tickets. Under seven children will be admitted free when accompanied by parents or guardians. Work is now being done to get the Home Coming program in order for announcement. It is expected that great numbers of former Barry County residents will attend and no pains will be spared tojmke this part of the Chautauqua especially strong. Some of Michigan’s most noted historians and speak­ ers will be present and make addresses. Since the publication of the rough outline program in last Week’s BANNER, the people arc beginning to awaken to the magnitude of a Chautauqua Assembly. It is no small under­ taking to carry on a ten days' entertainment having so many different departments. . It will entail an immense amount of work and will give em­ ployment for two weeks to quite a large number of people. So it is to the interest of all classes that the Chautauqua he a Next week wc will begin to tell more about our different statesmen and speakers and entertainers. Of coarse men like Osborn, Folk, Bede and Bryan are known. But some of the best things we have are from some unknown person who is not on platform 'because he is famous politically, but because of real itaefit as entertainers. These are the ones who will make good on their merits and we have a rich assortment of them. Keep your eye on this space each week. Talk Chautauqua. Think Chautauqua.

Since our advertisement appeared last week, several people .have asked us WHY we charge MORE for ice during June, July and August. Our reason is this. to promote tha Under our former plan of selling ice, many people would not commence taking it until June or July. They would take it during the THREE very hottest months of the year, and then QUIT. We gave them the regular season rate—51.40 per month. That was a good thing for the customer, but a losing proposition for us. Ice has a COMMERCIAL value, the same as COAL. It’s WORTH MORE during “the hot months, because it melts faster. * dom and diplomacy In dealing with the Mexican situation. We have a great President. f COURT HOUSE 1 NEWS Now it COSTS US a Mood deal more to deliver ice. during June, July and August for two reasons:- 1st people USE MORE of it; 2nd on account of it melting we have to draw more of it. So there is EVERY REASON why we should charge more during the summer months. The in­ crease in our price is VERY SMALL and we are sure our customer* will see the justice of it.

Thai Probsts Coi West Gun Lake Resort Sunday April 30, 1911 PM - BASE BALL Kw"" OF A GREAT REVIVAL HE preacher used to tell us that before a man would yield and become converted you must first make him mad. That being the case, a revival is not far off, as some of my competitors and their linemen must be getting mad sure. Here is what one of them said to me, “You ought to be kicked to death by a Don­ key, and I would like to be the on® to do it too?' I never before really thought this fellow belonged to the long cared class. I knew he brayed a lot, but I had never got the exact length of his ears until he called my attention to them. But.sure enough he is right. I don’t canvas to sell goods, I don’t believe in it. I sometimes put up a special low price sale. Just had one. Sold a lot of goods 9 Syracuse High-lift Sulky Plows, 4,000 rods Wire Fence, 9 Lansing Hay Racks.and other goods too numerous to mention. The known quality of the goods I sell, and the reputation I have of naming a low price is the cause of my success. And it was also the cause of the linemen’s remarks. . But while I am waiting to be kicked to death I shall continue to sell direct from the store, and shall not send out canvassers for the farmers to pay.. I have just received another car load of wirp fence, 4,000 rods. My coat is off. I am ready io help load it in your wagon. T Who did you say was selling Standard Twine for.7 cents' a pound? Why Jesse Townsend of course. Others want 8^. Townsend is the man (or the fanner to deal with evfcry time. You see he is a farmer himself. And now about that sulky plow. See to it that it* is a Syracuse High-lift, and you will be satisfied every time.

Wild oats are not NOURISHING as a “steady ■diet.” The thing, incident, or happening, forgiven in the young man, is ABHORRENT in the older one.

More Alfalfa will be sown in Bafry County this year than ever before. Efforts at growing Alfalfa in this County in the past have been very largely experimental. Hut it has been DEMONSTRATED BEYOND QUESTION that Alfalfa can be successfully grown in Barry County and that our .soils are especially well suited to growing it. Many farmers in this county are going into growing A Hal fa on quite an extensive scale. Every acre in this county, on which there is a good stand of Alfalfa is easily worth Sioo, and will PAY good interest on that investment. When you get a good catch of Alfalfa it will continue to . produce for YEARS. It is not only a great soil-builder, but it will produce MOR|3 and BETTER hay than clover. If you are going to sow Alfalfa, you want to be very particular about your SEED. We have made a study ot the Alfalfa question. We have the RIGHT KIND of Alfalfa seed for sale. THE ALFALFA SEED WE HAVE FOR SALE TESTS 99 9-10 PER CENT PURE AT THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AT LANSING If you want to buy some, you better see us, or phone us- ax once.

There ought to be some law to prevent the practice.” Monday May 1st 'j'Mr. Leon Wilcox, Roy Goldimith. Thos. P.

This organization emphasizes its eptire approval of the views expressed above and to show to the wearing public that TITE-OKE -sole leather is free from cheap, weighty stuffing which has brought shoemaking into such bad repute. Inferior, cheaply weighted sole leather has no part in shoes manufactured by BURT & PACKARD. TITE-OKE sole leather is produced in their own tannery, and is used ex­ clusively by the members of the organization. It is impossible to secure TITEOAE sole leather other than in shoes produced in various plants of the organiz­ ation. Not a single pound of TITE-OKE sole leather is sold only when manufac­ tured into shoes, therefore the weight in pounds does not in any way interest the tanners of it. As not a single pound of TITE-OKE sole leather is sold there is no object in increasing the weight, there is no advantage to be derived by filling it with with cheap weighty stuffing. TITE-OKE sole leather is tanned by a superior process which draws the fibers close and knits them firmly together, producing a sole leather that is as near waterproof as it is possible to make it. TITE-OKE sole leather concerns every human being from a health stand­ point as well as from a point of service. TITE-OKE is the best sole leather produced. If you are interested in shoes, shoes having TITE-OKE soles from weich cheap Weighty stuffing is eliminated, hour through Michigan.

If they DO, then they will have noticed that LAST WEEK we paid 5 CENTS A BUSHEL MORE for WHEAT than the regular Hastings markets were paying. . And the WEEK BEFORE LAST we were paying 4 CENTS a bush­ el MORE for WHEAT than the regular Hastings markets. Isn’t That Worth Something to the Farmers of Barry County Now we don’t claim thatweare doing this just for the sake of “humanity” -IT’S BUSINESS. We DO CLAIM, however, that as lon£ as WE HELP YOU, (and we have been doing that ever since we started here) that it is no more than FAIR that you should give PURITY FLOUR the PREFER­ ENCE over ALL OTHERS. Of course we could not expect that ANYONE would use PURITY FLOUR right along, UNLESS it was AS GOOD as any other flour at the price. It’s because WE KNOW that it IS as good that we ASK you to.give it a fair TRIAL. In MAKING PURITY flour we use only the BEST Barry County wheat—AND NO OTHER. There CAN’T anyone GET better wheal than we use, because LT DOESN'T GROW. A good many millers MIX SPRING WHEAT with Michigan wheat to make flour. They do that BECAUSE the SPRING WHEAT is CHEAPER and it LOWERS the COST of MAKING the flour. It also LOWERS the QUALITY of the flour, and bread made from it DRIES OUT very quickly. If YOUR bread dries out quickly, it’s because you are using that kind of fllour. You will find that bread made from PURITY FLOUR holds ITS moisture LONGER than bread made from any other flour. In making Purity Flour we have up-to-date machinery, equipped with “automatic feeders,” and ALL operated by ELECTRICITY, Which cannot be excelled as a motive power. We’ve devoted our whole life to the flour-milling business. We KNOW HOW to make the best flour. More people are USING Purity Flour ALL THE WHILE. Every month SHOWS AN INCREASE. If we were not MAKING GOOD on our claims for PURITY FLOUR our business wouldn’t keep grow■ng. EVERYONE ADMITS that the Hastings mill has been a BENEFIT to the FARMERS of Barry County, and to the City of Hastings. The MORE business we DO, the BETTER market place we CAN, and WILL, make Hastings. You CAN’T get BETTER FLOUR than Purity by sending OUTSIDE. "IDE.-Why Why not use PURITY FLOUR; keep your money AT HOME HOM„ and BUILD UP an industry that BENEFITS YOU, and makes just as GOOD a flour as your MONEY can buy. We solicit a TRIAL ORD­ ER—just a small SACK to begin with, and we’ll appreciate YOUR ORDER. Why not BEGIN NOW? 4 > < > Hastings Milling Company PHONE 283 C. A.

HENRY C. BRIGO& Head fpr ProIII Referee in Bankruptcy T ADVS." The Reason Why We Charge More For Ice During June, July and August Since our advertisement appeared last week, several people have asked us WHY we charge MORE for ice during June, July and August. Our reason is this. Under our former plan of selling ice, many people would not commence taking it until June or July.. They would take it during the THREE very hottest months of the year, and then QUIT. We gave them the regular season rate—$1.40 per month. That 'I hat was a good thing for the customer, but ca losing proposition for us. Ice has a COMMERCIAL value, the same as COAL, ccal it s worth more during the hot months, because it melts faster. __ :________ . Now it COSTS US a good deal more to deliver ice during June, July and August for two reasons:- 1st people USE MORE of it; 2nd on account of it melting we have to draw more of it. So there is EVERY REASON why wc should charge more during the summer months. The in­ crease in our price is VERY SMALL and wc arc sure our customers will seeThc justice of it. flllD IOC Htl 11/CDV Mr.Gcorge CovcyJ who has liad charge of our delivering for several UUll lUL UlUVlIiT years, past will CONTINUE to do our delivering. He is a CARE* —------------------------------------ FUL, PAINSTAKING man, and has ALWAYS given the BEST of satisfaction. Patrons don't like to have a change in delivery men every few weeks, and KNOW that they will be pleased to learn that Mr. Covey is to continue. It will be CHEAPER for you to begin taking ice ‘May 1st. We’ll give you THE BEST and PUREST LONG LAKE ICE; and the BEST and CLEANEST SERVICE.

BOTH PHONES BMStfBUSUh.’a We Also Have Moline Corn Planters; Oliver, Deere, and Moline Cultivators McCann's addition of There are altogether too many who simply ‘.‘let it grow.” Corn is “King” and is too valuable a crop to cultivate in any but the BEST way. Every bit of the corn you can SAVE is MONEY in YOUR POCKETS, We would like to have you call and let us SHOW YOU HOW the OLIVER CULTIVATOR will pay for itAelf many times over each season. To begin with if you simply plant corn and “let it grow” the corn will be cut down or ab­ sorbed by„wceds, so you need a cultivator. With the ordinary type of cultivator, working in com planted in rows, the team perhaps does not keep exactly over the row. You know the RESULT —one 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 other com, the operator swings them till he strikes the opposite wheel; the gangs don’t have enough “travel”— MORE CORN IS LOST. . t ■ 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 the ROW. In turning at the end of the rows rhe horses have freedom, the frame is held over the row, the wheels are guided independently to a great extent of thd horses actions.

Besides two daily band concerts we have two of the.best Mus. ical Companies. Wc want especially to call attcntlbn lo the Dunbar Co. • ; Any thoughtful person will con.cede That the days are approaching tvice or a product thnt makes-for the i general good must and will* receive THE DUNBAR COMPANY I that product or service. Tho question j Is the practical one of obtaining that Male Quartet and Beil Ringers The Dunbars arc past “promoting." Their history is their strongest endorsement. They have given nearly two thous­ and concerts on tours carrying them more than three hundred thousand miles, far enough to encircle the globej.welve times, to every part of the Union, Canada, Great Britain and the con­ tinent, and everywhere great audiences have been charmed with their programs. Three concerts were given aboard great Ateamships in uiidoccan. At least forty-four weeks of each year is gnen to concerts, with no open nights; the other eight weeks being required for special rehearsals and coaching. In some of the large courses, they have appeared annually during their seven years of travel, and, in many others, they have ap­ peared again and again with uniform success, and now about 75 per cent of their engagemiMts are returns. One hundred and twenty .different Chautauqua assembles have heard them and-approved, some returning for the second, third and fourth consecutive year; they often drawing the largest cash receipts of any attraction. - They sing part songs With all finesse of mature men and finished musicians that they are, and they pro­ duce comedy in song that is once original and refreshing. Most of their music is in manuscript, not publisrrcd, mtich of which is composed or arranged by members of the company. Their equipment is the finest money-can buy. their present magnifi­ cent carillon of nearly two hundred bells haying been made un­ der their personal supervision while abroad. Besides these, they have another peal nearly as large used for rehearsals. They have perfected several improvements in bell construction and have placed hand bell ringing among the arts instead of a pleasing specialty. Ralph Dunbar's ’cello solos have'won splendid praise from exacting critics,, who hear often the world’s greatest ’cellist and arc only interested in music in its highest developed forms. Others, who enjoy a beautiful mel­ ody or prefer the simpler expressions from the noble instru­ ment, are cnually pleased. Ralph Dunbar is neither a long­ haired "fad,” who pretends to abhor everything but Beethoven and Brahms, nor a fiddler of tunes. He is a splendid artist with an American brain, by the use of which he selects the best of extant ’cello literature and presents it in a plcasingvand satis­ factory manner. The Dunbar Trio has achieved real success; the combination of flute, 'cello and piano, each in capable hands, having long ago proved its right to a place in the realm of chamber music. Mr. Harry Dunbar is a success as a presenter of character sketches, his repertoire covering a large variety of subjects in as many dialects. It has been often said that he "was the star of the evening," but the same phrase has been applied to all the other six features presented in a program. The vocal solo­ ists are well worthy of the success they have won and every ■ feature patented is a proved one devoid of all amateurism®.

BESSMER Some people seem to think it is necessary to have a large sum of money to deposit in order to have a bank account. That is not the case with this bank. Wc will gladly welcome you as a depositor, whether you bring $1.00 or $1,000.00 to place with us. You will be extended the same courtesy and service, without regard to the size of your deposit. It is our aim to serve all in the same satisfactory manner. NEXT WINTER’S COAL Oqr fixed policy is to SAFEGUARD the. interests of ourdepositors. Wc have all kinds of opportunities to loan our money at high rates of interest on questionable security. But wc have a FIXED POLICY to loan no funds from this bank except on the highest class of security. That always means lower rate of interest; for the people with the best credit can always obtain the lowest rates of interest. If we were willing to take chances with our deposit­ ors’ mon?y we could offer a higher rate of Interest on our deposits. We arc paying even’cent of interest we can afford, and do a safe, careful, conservative banking business. g Isn’t thut the kind of banking you approve? Will you not feel safer to do your banking with a bank that PROTECTS YOUR DEPOSITS by making its loans of the very highest class; a bank that SEEKS ONLY SAFE LOANS which mean lower interest rates, RATHER THAN QUESTIONABLE LOANS AT THE HIGHER INTEREST RATES WHICH SUCH LOANS ALWAYS PAY, BUT WHICH MAY AND OFTEN DO MEAN TO A BANK THE LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE LOANS? This bank is not ready to risk the trust funds which its depositors have placed in our care on questionable loans, merely to obtain a higher rate of interest We pay all wc can afford to pay, and stick to our fixed plan of always going safe, Tathcr than seek high rates of interest and jeopardize our depositors’ money.

In our ^KNTS to the COST of our ^IsAVE YOU SEVEN and ^Ls you buy ON RENT ^Kation. And having the large VOLUME of business that we do, helps us in TWO other ways:— FIRST—By having a large volume of business we HAVE to buy in LARGE QUANTITIES. And by BUYING in large QUANTITIES we get the VERY LOWEST PRICES. SECOND—By having the VOLUME of business that we do, we only have to add a small per cent to covet* our expenses and leave us a reasonable profit To illustrate this, suppose that Smith does a business of $$000 per year and Jones does a business of $35,000. A xo per cent gross profit for Smith would only make $500, which wouldn’t much more than pay his rent and expenses. On the other hand a xo per cent profit for Jones would mean $2500 which would pay all his expenses and leave a handsome profit besides. That’s WHY the Sty ALL factory can’t compete with the LARGE factory— it DON’T GET THE VOLUME of business. The VERY SAME is true in ANY BUSINESS. It's BECAUSE we carry such a large and complete stock of DEPEND­ ABLE goods that we get the VOLUME of business. It’s BECAUSE we have the VOLUME OF BUSINESS that we CAN and DO give you BETTER VALUES for YOUR MONEY than any one else. It’s BECAUSE we have the VOLUME OF BUSINESS that we are selN ing PUMPS, OXFORDS and TWO-STRAP SLIPPERS at $a.oo that are JUST AS GOOD as you have to pay $3.50 for at other stores.. And the kind we sell at $3.50 is just as good as you can get at any other store for $3.00. We carry a full line of the famous Walk-Over Shoes for Men and Women at $3.50, $4.00 and $4.50. You can’t get BETTER VALUES for the MONEY in any of the large city stores. We have ALL SIZES, ALL STYLES, ALL WIDTHS. We can FIT YOUR FEET PERFECTLY.

THE SITUATION There Is Dan Our Low Running Expense Does It BRADLEY SHOE SHOP Since our advertisement appeared last week, several people h^ve asked us WHY we charge MORE for ice durmg June, July and August. Our reason is this. Under our former plan of selling ice, many people would not commence taking it until June or July. They would take it during the THREB'vtery hottest months of the year, and dien QUIT. We gave them the regular season rate—$1.40 per month. That was a good thing for the customer, but a losing proposition for us. Ice has a COMMERCIAL value, the same as COAL. It’s WORTH MORE during the hot mouths, because it melts faster. Now it COSTS US ■ good deal more to deliver ice during June, July and August for two reasons:- 1st people USE MORE of it; 2nd on account of it melting we have to draw more of it. So there is EVERY REASON why we should charge more during the summer months. The in­ crease in our price is VERY SMALL and we are sure our customers will see the justice of it. of your PAYING TOO MUCH for PUMPS and OXFORDS if you buy without seeing AO FA our line line at QLiUu HIID IPE nd IVEDV Mr. George Covey, who has had charge of our delivering for several UUn lut UtLIVtnT .veers, past will CONTINUE to do our delivering.

Patrons don't like to have a change in delivery men every few weeks, and we KNOW that thev will be pleased to learn that Mr. Covey is to continue. It will be CHEAPER for you to begin taking ice May 1st. We’ll give you THE BEST and PUREST LONG LAKE ICE; and the BEST and CLEANEST SERVICE.

OR SIMPLY LET IT GROW? A. Kent. Mr. and Mrs. John Norris and family passed Saturday and Sunday in Alle- There are altogether too many who simply “let it grow.” Corn is “King” and is too valuable a crop to cultivate in any but the BEST way. Every bit of the corn you can SAVE is MONEY in YOUR POCKETS. We'would like to have you call and let us SHOW YOU HOW the OLIVER CULTIVATOR will pay for itself many times over each season. To begin with if you simply plant corn and “let it grow” the corn wUl be cut down or ab­ sorbed 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 row. You know the RESULT —one wheel is breaking down a row of corp. That means LOSS to YOU. In a vain effort to get the gangs of the ordinary cultivator to straddle the other corn, the operator swings them till he strikes the opposite wheel; the gangs don’t have enough “travel”— MORE CORN IS LOST. , x 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 the 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 a great extent of the horses actions, There are many other superior points we will be pleased to SHOW YOU.

One SPURT in advance and then SETTL­ ING BACK on the strength of one success DON’T GO. For 37 YEARS French’s White Lily FLOUR has had the REPU­ TATION of being the BEST for the MONEY. We are NOT trying to live on that reputation. WE ARE GOING AHEAD all the time. Last year we practically BUILT A NEW MILL to enable us to KEEP IN ADVANCE, . The FOUR WALLS, ROOF, and FLOORS of our mill TO­ DAY, are all that remain of our mill of ONE YEAR AGO. There isn’t ONE MACHINE in our mill TO-DAY that was here A YEAR AGO. , We THREW OUT EVERY MACHINE in our old equipment and REPLACED them ALL with the VERY LATEST IMPROVED PATTERNS. “REPUTATION” and “QUALITY” go together in food products. You CAN’T have ONE without the OTHER. We spent THOUSANDS of DOLLARS for our NEW EQUIP­ MENT. We spent that money NOT to make “MORE FLOUR.” but to make “BETTER” FLOUR-and we have SUCCEEDED. The French’s White Lily Flour you BUY to-day is MUCH BETTER than it was ONE YEAR AGO. We have the SAME WATER POWER PLUS the BEST NEW MACHINERY that money can possibly buy. That’s why French’s White Lily is BETTER to-day than it was one year ago. The BEST MACHINERY is ABSOLUTELY necessary in order to make the BEST FLOUR. It’s even MORE necessary in making a food product than in making any other. You can’.t make the BEST flour without the BEST machinery. , When you BUY French’s White Lily Flour you buy a flour that has a reputation—and is LIVING UP TO IT. It’s the BEST flour you can buy for the money. It’s the flour that will help you CUT DOWN YOUR LIVING EXPENSES because you will usfe EVERY PARTICLE of it and your baking will be always the same.

It Is a good Idea and a profitable one to have a box of mixed grain and beef scraps where the fowls can have ac­ cess tn them at all tlmea No rule can be laid down as to the amount of feed to give to a flock. It Is best to have the old hens and the pullets separated as lhe pullets wlt| c>t more than tho old hena The amount of feed to give Is a problem that each one will have to solve. When you feed the flock stay with them and study their appetites and needa If you are not getting any eggs increase In the feed. A laying hen will stand heavy feeding. If It Is of the proper kind. This applies to fowls that have plenty of exercise. If fowls have free range they cal a lit­ tle at a time, and srhenever they can And it.

You never TIRE of Walk-over Shoes, because they are RIGHT in the first place and they STAY RIGHT and Walk-over STYLE stands unchallenged. It is the RESULT of the TASTE and SKILL of the world’s master designers, for every line and curve of their models is duplicated in Walk­ over Shoes. । The almost unlimited capital back of the great Walk-over factory has equipped it with special labor-saving machinery, so that NOT ONE of its more than 5000 EMPLOYEES can make a mistake. Each employee is really a cog in the great Walk-over wheel, each doing his or her part in turning out over 20,000 PAIRS of PERFECT SHOES EACH DAY. More than ONE MILLION DOLLARS has been spent by this firm in the PERFECTION OF IT’S “LASTS.” Walk-over Comfort is assured by the careful handiwork that moulds EACH SHOE over INDIVIDUAL LASTS for RIGHT and LEFT. * | Shoe “Lasts" or “Forms" for Shoes cost a great deal of money. Walk-over Oxfords are an absolute innovation in the Shoe business. They are built on specially designed OXFORD LASTS. The low shoes made by the great majority of shoe manufacturers are built on lasts made up for their HIGH SHOES just to save the great EXPENSE necessary to make special lasts for Oxfords. Making special lasts for Oxfords may seem trifling to YOU, but it makes all the difference in the world in the FIT, and consequently the WEAR of the Oxford you buy. Having their own special Oxford Lasts, make Walk-over Oxfords FIT SNUGLY at the HEEL, and AT TH[E SIDES, and prevents any chance of a Walk-over Oxford FALLING, or*CHAFING AT THE HEEL, or GAPING AT THE SIDES. Having it’s immense factory, equipped with special labor-saving machinery; with its enormous output of over 30,000 pairs of complete shoes EACH DAY; BUYING it’s RAW MATERIALS in such GREAT QUANTITIES, ars some of the reasons WHY the Walk-over people CAN, and DO, put a shoe on the market that is the equal of a shot of any other make that would cost you from >1.00 to $3.00 MORE per pair, I Our prices are just as LOW as you can get the SAME GOODS, or the SAME QUALITY of goods in any of the large city stores. Owing to the large volume of business that we do, our EXPENSE for EACH PAIR of shoes we sell is LOW­ ER than the smaller retail stores, so we do not have to ADD as much to EACH PAIR of shoes to cover our RENT and RUNNING EXPENSES. That’s WH?Y we give you BETTER VALUES for YOUR MONEY. And at the same time you have the ADV AGE of making your selections from the LARGEST STOCK in Barry County, as large in fact as you will find in the ity stores.

We would not ask you to buy French's White Lily Flour just because it is made in Barry County, or because we use more Barry County wheat than any other concern in the county. We expect that you will BUY YOUR FLOUR on its MERIT alone, just as you do your groceries. ■ You are not so much concerned about WHERE your flour is made, as you are about HOW it is made. It's true, of course, that when you buy French’s White Lily Flour your money stays right here in the county, and doesn’t go outside. But, like EVERYONE ELSE, you are looking for the BEST VALUE for YOUR MONEY, just as you are when you buy clothing, shoes, etc. AU you want is the BEST QUALITY FOR THE MONEY. And when it comes to the QUALITY of the flour you use we’U be very glad to have you INVESTIGATE CLOSELY. The trouble has been that people have not investigated as closely as they should. If you will take notice you will find that French's White Lily is the STANDARD by which other millers judge their own product. They will tell you that their flour is “as good as French's White Lily." It will NOT be as good, however, because it will not be njade in a mill that has such a fine equipment of NEW MACHINERY. ,' ■ It won't be AS GOOD, because it wiU NOT be made in 1 mUl that RUNS NIGHT AND‘DAY, year in and year out. You'll find that other flours are made in mills that run eight or ten hours a day and then stop. It is impossible to mike the BEST flour, or flour of an EVEN QUALITY in a mill that runs only io HOURS a day, because stepping flour-making machinery for HOURS and letting it "GET COLD.” always affects the QUALITY of flour when the machinery is started up. • French's White Lily Flour is made in a mill that runs night and day the 1 year round. By hiring a couple of good men to look after our mill at night, we get a h-HOUR OUTPUT, at practically the same EXPENSE a xoHOUR OUTPUT would cost us, because we own our own WATER-POWER and ELECTRIC LIGHTING PLANT. As a res^^ie "GENERAL EX­ PENSE," on EACH BARREL of flour we make isIESS THAN HALF of what it would be in ANY xo-HOUR-A-DAY MILL. 'That’s why French’s White Lily Flour is THE BEST FLOUR FOR YOUR MONEY. Why not try a sack and be convinced? Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

Adam Bede, was congressman from Minnesota for eight years. During the time that he occupied a scat in our national legislative halls he was widely known as flic "Humorist of the House," $o witty were his sayings and so excellent his humor. Often when in the midst^of the ordinary work of Congress when there were many empty scats and a general, listlessness. Bede would rise to speak. Immediately the empty seats would begin to fill and the feeling of listlessness would change to one of intense interest. Mr. Bede has spoken before sonic of the largest audiences in America and always makes a hit. In presidential campaigns he has made speaking tours and has been given the big city dates for this work by the Republican committee in nearly every instance. Last summer he addressed the state teachers association of Ohio at their summer meeting at Sandusky. This is one of the biggest organizations of its kind in the coun­ try. Mr. Bede's favorite subject is: “Our Nation, It’s Prob­ lems and Progress-" ERNEST WRAY ONEAL. ! On Nov. 20 the only church in “The Loop," Chicago, the "Church of the Strangers," of which Dr. Ernest Wray Oneal, well known in the lyceum world, is pastor, will celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary. This notable event is to be follow­ ed in the not far distant future by the erection of a sixteenstory building on the site of the present church and will con­ , tain an auditorium sufficiently large and modern to provide for all future needs. This church—the First Methodist Church, which is about to celebrate this anniversary, is unique in several respects among all the churches in the world, and Dr. Oneal is the suc| ccsSor of some of the greatesLpulpiteers in Methodism, among 3 whom are Bishop Fowler, Dr. R. M. Hatfield and Dr. H. W. Thomas. It is claimed that no other church extant has ever erected or assisted in the erection of as many churches. The ' iFiffft Methodist Church, in fact, is often mentioned as the “Mother Chuqrh of Chicago Methodism." Also no other church -anywhere occupies the unique position of being the only one ki a district of such great size and activity, the section in Chi­ cago known as "The Loop," being styled “the busiest in the world.” Grouped about this church, within three blocks, arc no'less than fifteen theaters and thirty hotels. At the present time, in addition to its other activities, the First Methodist Church is sustaining six institutional churches in the slum f .^giffericui of this great city. ; ’’Dr.'Oneal is to be with us for Sunday, July and, for two '-lectures. home In stirring up "the malefactors Publlabid erwy Wo4tw*dxy alteruooa • at llaxtlagv.

OWENS One day last week a farmer living.about two miles out of Hastings, de­ cided to buy a RIDING PLOW. So ope ol our local firms took out their plow. , Th.e farmer tried it in sod ground, but found it would “break" and “kink" the furrow about evegf three or four feet. An EXPERT was sent out to remedy this very bad defect, but without success. On Thursday morning, May nth, the farmer phoned me, and wanted to know if I would let him take the "SYRACUSE” out on "TRIAL” with the other.

Sanitary Inspector get used to the tolling of bells In that waak's vacation In Richland with her Haiflnss, MM. ZAGELMEIER BROS, Props J. G. McGUFFIN FIRE INSURANCE Laundry * I told him I WOULD NOT. That as I did not canvass to sell my plow I would not send one out on a “FIELD TRIAL” with any other make of plow. I told him that if the OTHER SULKY PLOW was not satisfactory, if he would first return it to the dealer, I would then let him take the’ “SYRACUSE" out and give it a TRIAL, and that I would NOT go near it to see it work, but would leave the whole matter to him. Upon this he said there would be no “FIELD TRIAL," as the-owners of the OTHER PLOW would NOT be present. I told him that with that understanding he could take my SYRACUSE SULKY PLOW out and try it. The farmer came and got my Syracuse Sulky Plow, took it home and went to work. About 4 o’clock in the afternoon I called him by phone and asked him “how the Syracuse was working." He replied: "All right, could not ask for anything better." At the same time he informed me that the EXPERT for the OTHER PLOW had been there trying to MAKE IT WORK. At first this made me a “little warm under the collar." But on second thought I saw it was all the better, as the “SYRACUSE” had BEATEN both the “OTHER PLOW," and the "EXPERT," while I was enjoying myself at home. The above are FACTS, and can easily be verified. I most Cheerfully recommend the "Syracuse High Lift Sulky Plow" to ANY FARMER needing a tool of this kind. .

Here you will have the ADVANTAGE of making your selections from ALL of the new 1911 Styles and from ALL SIZES. When yon make vour selections from a smaller stock than ours, you may not find JUST THE SIZE or STYLE you want. But very often YOU BUY A PAIR from a small stock because it comes the NEAREST to fitting you of anything you can find in that store. You BUY the pair; it doesn’t FIT you; and. you are NEVER-SATISFIED with that pair of shoes from the time you bought them until you threw them away. That’s the way a good many people bring on CORNS and BUNIONS. They endure excruciating pain to “BREAK IN” a pair of shoes that DOESN’T FIT, and NEVER WILL FIT. That’s very POOR ECONOMY to say the least, because shoes that do not FIT WELL, will not WEAR well, say nothing of the PUNISHMENT of your feet. We have spent our whole lives in LEARNING HOW to.FIT THE FEET. But we could not fit your feet unless we carried a LARGE and COMPLETE stock. We have WIDTHS and SIZES that were NEVER carried in stock here before. We havethe BIG STOCK, we KNOW HOW TO FIT YOU. Eventually this is the store' where you are coming for your FOOTWEAR of all kinds. Buying shoes is BUSINESS on YOUR PART. You are ENTITLED to get the BEST VALUE, the BEST FIT, the BEST STYLE for YOUR MONEY. That’s what WE GIVE YOU, and with it goes our- GUARANTEE that everything we sell is JUST AS WE REPRESENT IT.

Our Season and Coupon Tickets for both adults and chil­ dren have been issued, and are in the hands of the Directors and some of the Stockholders- Remember that it will be greatly economical to get a season ticket. A great many people have an idea that they won't go a sufficient number of times to need a season ticket. Exper­ ience has shown that hundreds are caughj by this idea the first year of a Chautauqua, who find that they have actually lost money besides being put to great inconvenience and trouble. A Season Ticket allows one to enter and leave the grounds at will jny time.on any day. One can go home for supper or dinner, or on any business and return at his leisure. These tickets however are non-transferable and must be presented by the owner, whose name is written thereon. The Coupon Ticket sells ten single adtnissio(ts for $2.00 and may be hied by bearer, but does not allow one to g«> out and come back unless another coupon is torn off.. Children's tickets are'sold: the Season for $1.25: the coupon ticket for $1.00. Did you ever stop to think what a wonderfully cheap thing a Chautauqua is? Think what you get. Besides pro.gram, with it's more than fifty entertainments, there are the band concerts, the base ball games, the Home-Coming, the fireworks display, the camping and social gatherings. There is an opportunity before Barry County people, such as they have never had to crijoy, an outing, and-come into contact with great men of our country. It's not like a Lyceum Course. It is all out under the skies and trees, and the form­ ality of a hall or house is taken away. The Chautauqua is distinctly a people’s movement and is gathering force with each year, and is now recognized by the leaders of progressive thought, as the most effective way we have of bringing direct­ ly before the people progressive ideas. The tickets will also be for sale at Carveth & Stebbins' and Mulholland's Drug Stores. We want to appeal to all loyal citizens of our county to make a long, strong pull for this great institution which will do so much for our coritmunity. We are going, to make it permanent. After the first Assembly it will be easy and plain sailing, for hundreds of our people will be enthusiastic when they know and realize what it is. For this first year, we ask your help. Buy ticketswow, not only for yourself, but for the wife and children. It will be a treat to them all. If any young people desire to sell tickets and thereby earn their own tickets, an opportunity will be given later, if they will apply to Thos. M. Cornelison, Manager. Everybody help and we can make our community head and shoulders above our sister cities in educational and progressive lines. jiAST'Nos Banner. the monopoly. Both of manufacturers.

It's a long thorough­ fare, and the price of it's choicest residence lots is within reach of everybody—SELF SACRIFICE and Perservence. The ordinary man cannot live on Easy Street without paying the price and it’s WORTHIT. Youngman • Do You Want To Ro On “Easy Street"? You can “get there” in a few >;ears. You are a young man and unmarried. All you have to do is to “look after yourself.” The great (rouble with most young men like you is that in looking for “Enjoyment” and a “Good Time” or whatever you may call it, they form habits that are EXTRAVAGANT. In a short time these habits possibly lead to other habits that TAKE ALL YOUR EARNINGS to gratify. You threaten to "CUT OUT” these hab­ its and SAVE YOUR MONEY. But you don’t do it, and this leads into habits of life so that you CAN’T DO IT. You’ll never live on Easy Street following that plan. There’s ONLY ONE SURE WAY to get on “EASY STREET” and that is to BEGIN to SAVE YOUR MONEY at just as early an age as possible, and then to KEEP SAVING. If you deposit money in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT for a few years, you will have a sure place on “EASY STREET” because WE 0 TAY J DCD PCUT lUTCDCtT COMPOUNDED SEMI-ANNUALLY I til btNI IH I tntd I OH ALL SAVINGS DEPOSITS Your Money Thus Works For You 24 Hours Every Day.

WE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY We make that statement with the full assurance ’ that we can do just as we say. And there's a reason. Our Mr. Fuller buys every stick of lumber for all the furniture factories of Hastings, besides what we buy for ourselves. Buying in such large quantities, we get the very lowest prices. W? add but a moderate percentage bf profit. The result is that through our purchase of millions of feet of lumber, we are enabled , to get the inside prices. WE GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS THE BENEFIT. Oq any given grade of lumber we can save you you some money. Every foot of our lumber is kept under roof. We can furnish you a high quality at a low price, real lumber value being considered. ‘ Weimake these claims. WE INVITE YOU TO PUT US -TO THE TEST.

When you move you always find some additions to the furniture necessary. In house cleaning the arrangement of the furniture should be changed, and at least here and there a new piece added, a new carpet or rug perhaps, a new picture. or some porch furniture. « It is a delight to select the needed pieces from a collection which has one’s unquestioned confidence. When you BUY here we want you to KNOW what satisfaction it is to us for you to COMPARE our kind of home-furnishings with those of other stores. We want you to KNOW by EXAMINATION that THIS is the REAL HOME for the best furniture, carpets, rugs, mattings, linoleums. Then when you get ready to BUY you are sure of a place where EVERYTHING will be to your SATISFACTION. By buying whole lines of SAMPLE FURNITURE we are selling the best furniture at LESS than regular WHOLESALE prices. This is NOT a mere statement for advertising purposes, but we would like to have you compare our prices, QUALITY for QUALITY with ANY other store, or stores, in Michigan, or ANY othgr state. n tremendous report, as the regular troops replied with a volley, and fol­ lowed with Intermittent tiring which sounded like the explosions of bunch­ es of tire crxuJkera.

In making PURITY FLOUR we USE noth­ ing but BARRY COUNTY WHEAT. We use a good many thousands of BUSHELS of it EVERY YEAR, because Michigan whept is the BEST wheat that grows for making FLOUR.

We will gladly-mail out these bboks for anyone who has relatives or friends whom they think may come to our Chautauqua. Before the mailing is over the number thus sent out will be near six thousand. The season'ticket sale opens auspiciously. When one thinks of the great number of good things offered surely there can be no objection to the pri$c, $2.00. Why it’s a liberal education just to hear and come in contact with such men. You would pay more than that for the ball games alone. You would spend that much a day on the side shows and merry-go-rounds of a street fair. And here we get the whole entertainment for ten days for $2.00,Thc attend­ ance at an assembly often reaches 10,000 on a single day, and often in cities the size of Hastings fifteen hundred Beason tickets are sold. So we want to get in line and make this ago. People are getting interested. Already scores of inquiries have been made and booklets asked for. Now is the time to write to your friends and relatives. Send them a catalogue. Invite them to come. The Base Ball schedule is now about complete and will be published soon. The other towns qf tbe county have taken up the idea and,will furnish teams to cofopete for tbe cup. Have you seen that Loving Cup? It is now at Pan­ coast’s. It is a beauty and will be well worth your inspection. ’ ■ In a short while now a force of men will be put to work. to fix up the fair grounds for the Chautauqua. The Thorn­ apple Gas & Electric Company will wire and light the grounds and make a veritable fairyland of the inside of the track by pight. v The time has now cOme to speak of tents and camping. No other feature of Chautauqua is so pleasant as this, and even if you don’t intend to spend the nights there, you should have a tent for a place of rest and refreshment. Have your own home where you can invite your friends and entertain them. You will find Chautauquas doubly pleasant and profitable. . We would like too to have the different lodges and orders to have their headquarters tent, where they can entertain their friends. Anyone wanting tents will please order from R. M. Bates, Chairman of Grounds Committee. He will be prepared to give information and prices. These must be ordered before Chautauqua begins as we do not have a large stock on hand and cannot afford to order more than we have demand for. \ —— IN HASTINGS SATURDAY, JUNE 10th mAUlin* and lambaatli of all t selves with the needy; and having learned It our progress as a city will be far more -ratifying to all concerned.

To begin with if you simply plant corn and “let it grow” the coni will be cut down or ab­ sorbed by weeds, so you need a cultivator.

At the ends of the* rows, with an ordinary atiff-framed cultivator, you know how either the CORN PLANTS arts TORN OUT in turning around, or else the gangs are raised and the weeds LEFT STANDING.

The ordinary man cannot live on Easy Street without paying the price and it’s WORTH IT. Young man Do You Want To Be On “Easy Stroot"? You can ‘.‘get there” in a few years. You are a young man and unmarried. All you have to do is to "look after yourself.” The great trouble with most yomi^ men like you is that in looking for "Enjoyment” and a “Good Time” or whatever you may call it, they form habits that are EXTRAVAGANT. In a short time these habits possibly lead to other habits that TAKE ALL YOUR EARNINGS to gratify. You threaten to “CUT OUT” these hab­ its and SAVE YOUR MONEY. But you don’t do it, and this leads into habits of life so that you CAN’T DO IT. You’ll never 1 live on Easy Street following that plan. There's ONLY ONE SURE WAY to get on “EASY STREET” and that is to BEGIN to SAVE YOUR MONEY at just as early an age as possible, and then to KEEP SAVING. If you deposit money in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT for a few years, you will have a sure place on “EASY STREET” because Woodmansee, guardian.

If you buy the GOOD KIND you must expect to pay WHAT IT IS WORTH. The feed of QUAL­ ITY is the only kind that we handle, and we don’t charge you any fnore for it than others charge for the inferior kind. We have fed stock for a good many years. Mixing good feeds for all domestic animals is a knack that we learned through long experience, in the stock growing business. When you buy feed here we will gladly give you the benefit of our advice and experience if you wish it, You don't have to follow it unless you want to. • . Your stock can't complain when you are giving them feed that DOES NOT SATISFY. The ONLY WAY they can show their DISAPPROVAL is by their POOR CONDI­ TION. The wise man will make a change AT ONCE.

Last year we threw out ALL of our old machinery and put in a brand new equipment of the VERY LATEST and BEST flour making machinery that money can buy. We spent thousands of dollars to enable us to m^ke flour of the VERY BEST QUALITY—and that’s what we are doing all the time. Flours come, and Flours go, but French’s White Lily continues. Your money can’t buy as GOOD a flour fpr the price, f Why not try it ? '7 '< Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

For the Base Ball Fans One of the most unique features of the whole Chautauqua is our provision for the benefit of Base Ball enthusiasts. We have arranged a Tournament of six gamts to be played by four of Barry County's best teams, competing for a handsome silver Loving cup. Each of the four teams plays three game*, thus insuring a fair chance for each and fluke victory being impossible. The Lov­ ing cup is a beautiful trophy, and is well worth the efforts of the teams. It is proposed to make these tournaments a permanent feat­ ure of the Chautauqua and a different cup will be offered each year. The Band will play it’s head off. Patriotic addresses by Gov. Chase S. Osborn and Dr. Wirt Lowther who will make the eagle scream. The Great Dunbar Company will appear in two concerts. They are the best on the platform and you will rate them the finest thing ever. Finest Display of Fireworks ever seen in Hastings. All large exhibition ■ pieces with special devices. One Grand Uproar all the time from 8:30 a. m. to 10:00 p, when the lights go out.

The Base Ball Schedule will be found in another column of the paper. The teams competing will be Nashville, Middleville, Freeport Besides the Tournament, TFNT^s To ■ and Delton. the regular Hastings team will play two games, one on Thursday, June 29th and the other on July 5th. Their opponents will be the strongest independent teams in Western’ Michigan, to be announced later. Lookout for the schedule of games. The Base Ball begins with -the very firsf day, and there is a game every day except Sunday. The last day, Bryan Day, is not scheduled, so as to leave room for the play off of a probable tie* This one feature is worth a season ticket. ' So plan to sec them all and root for your favorite team. It will be a hot race. the Assembly rightly you should have a tent of your o * and receive your friend*, We have thru, for rent.

Some Chautauqua Arithmetic To some of the people a Season ticket for $2.00 seems to be a large expense; especially when there arc several in a family. Let us for a moment calculate what it would cost to hear these attraction* if you paid for them at Box office in a Lyceum Course. 30 Platform Entertainments (a 50c$15.00 8 Base Ball gaVnes @ 25c 2.00 • A matter of .’. .$17.00 And besides all this, you ha^c the Banti Concerts, Musical Pre­ ludes,. Sports, Fireworks, Social Gatherings. etc. absolutely free of cost, after you enter. When you think of getting all these things for $2.00 the question really is. "can you afford to miss it?" If you like a bargain, here’s one to your taste. Look at it in another wav. Take one dav for instance say June 28th.

THE JEWELER, Interested In Getting The Best^ Flour That Your Money Can Buy ■ You KNOW that there is a big DIFFERENCE in the QUAL­ ITY of goods. One brand of goods is BETTER than any competing brands, because IT IS MADE BETTER. EVERY PART IS JUST AS GOOD AS EVERY OTHER PART. It’s actually WORTH MORE MONEY, but favor­ able conditions of manufacture enable it to be produced so that it can be sold at the SAME price as that of inferior quality. That is just the way with French’s White Lily Flour—it’s BETTER than any other, and EVERY PART of every sack is just the same as every part, of every other sack. This is due very largely to the WAY IT IS MADE. There are VERY FEW flouring mills in the United States that RUN NIGHT and DAY WE DO, and that is ONE REASON WHY French’s White Lily Flour ia ALWAYS smooth and EVEN in QUALITY. You can’t STOP flour-making machinery for 10 to 15 HOURS without its INJURING the QUALITY of the flour. That’s one reason why the flour, in ANY MILL that runs 10 to 12 hours a day andjhen STOPS, is never UNIFORM. One sack may be FAIR, the next POOR. year in and year out. There are VERY FEW flouring mills in the United States that OWN their own WATER power.

There's always the risk that- sickness or accident may stop your income suddenly, but there is never any doubt about your living expenses going right’ on just as if nothing had happened. The factory or shop where you are. employed may be shut down, or you may be thrown out of work at the very time you least expect it. - . Then Is The Time You Need A Savings Account For The Protection Of Yourself And Family The wage earner more than anyone else should cultivate the sav­ ings habit, and own a Bank account. There are a good many people in Hastings and Barry County who own their own Homes and Farms through starting a Bank Account in this bank and formed the ^iabit of Saving regularly. There are a lot more who ought to do so, and Could do so, if they would Only Make a Start. If You are thinking of opening an account, don't delay until you have accumulated a considerable sum.

Clare Smith, is helping Mrs. Ed. A good many pcpple have said to us:- “HOW do you make such nice bread, it’s just like HOME-MADE.” There isn’t any reason WHY Hastings Potato Bread should not be just like home made bread. We use just as little yeast as possible. We use the “OLD FASHION­ ED SPONGE,” and nothing but the very, best of materials. We give it plenty of time to RAISE. These are some of the/reasons WHY Hastings Potato Bread is BETTER-SWEETER and MORE SOLID than other bakers bread. The great majority of bakers use lots of yeast to make their bread raise quickly, so that they can get it out of the way uuiakly. The bread isn’t as good as Hastings Potato Bread, and it isn’t as solid. There isn’t as much to it. But as long as people BUY it the bakers are not so mucl>concerned about QUALITY. When we started in the bakery business it was NOT with the idea of seeing HOW MUCH bread we "could make, but HOW GOOD. By using more yeast and RUSHING things through wepould make a good deal more bread than we do, but it would not be as GOOD. The people of Hastings and Barry County are coming to know these facts, andare insisting upon having HASTINGS POTATO BREAD in preference to any other kind. We are building up this business upon the basis of “SATISFYING CUSTOMERS,” and every month is showing a splendid IN­ CREASE IN TRADE. UniiC PflMERQ you are £°’nM to tent out during the Home Coming Chautauqua nUIYiL UUIYILiIJ June 2?-July 6, you will want bread and baked goods of all kinds Come here and let us sho<v you that every statement we make concerning Hastings Potato Bread is TRUE.

Interested In Getting The Best^, Flour That Your Money Can Buy ■ You KNOW that there is a big DIFFERENCE in the QUAL­ ITY qf goods. One brand of goods is BETTER ■I than any competing brands, because IT IS MADE BETTER. EVERY PART IS JUST AS GOOD AS EVERY OTHER PART. It’s actually WORTH MORE MONEY, but favor­ able conditions of manufacture enable it to be produced so that it can be sold at the SAME price as that of inferior quality. That is just the way with French’s White Lily Flour—it’s BETTER than any other, and EVERY PART of every sack is just the same as every part of every other sack. This is due very largely to the WAY IT IS MADE. ‘ There are VERY FEW flouring mills in the United States that RUN NIGHT and DAY year in and year out. WE DO, and that is ONE REASON WHY French’s White Lily Fiour is ALWAYS smooth and EVEN in QUALITY. You can’t STOP flour-making machinery for 5 10 to 15 HOURS without its INJURING t£e QUALITY of the flour. That’s one reason why the flour, in ANY MILL that runs 10 to 12 hours a day and then STOPS, is never UNIFORM. One sack may be FAIR, the next POOR. j j There are VERY FEW flouring mills in the United States that OWN their own WATER power. WE DO-^d the BEST, CHEAPEST and MOST EVEN POWER KNOWN. Kk - Triple Plated 12 dwt Knives and Forks, worth $3.50 1 am selling at ________________82.75_______________ There are VERY FEW flouring mills in the^ United States that have a brand new equipment of the VERY LATEST and MOST improved flour-making machinery. WE HAVE. Money CAN’T BUY a better equipment than ours, which was installed last year. There are very few flouring mills in the United States which have a record of 37 YEARS of ’ continuous SUCCESS. WE HAVE. And the French’s White Lily Flour you buy today is BETTER thafl”it ever was before. Our aim has always been to .IMPROVE THE QUALITY. We have NEVER let expense or any thing else stand in the way of improving quality. We have alwaya felt that the-people of Barry County were ENTITLED to. the BEST FOR THEIR MONEY. That this policy is APPRECIATED is shown by the fact that MORE French’s White Lily Flour is sold in Barry County than ALL OTHER FLOURS COMBINED. . By running our big mill night and day, year in and year outywe more than cut our GEN­ ERAL EXPENSE in TWO. It also enables us to produce a flour of the VERY BEST QUAL­ ITY and sell it at as LOW a PRICE as a flour of inferior quality would coft you. That’s WHY the great majority of housewives in Barry County insist upon using French’s White Lily Flour in preference to ANY OTHER or ALL OTHERS. That’s WHY YOU( OUGHT TO USE IT. . ’ > f Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

For the first time in very many years, there will be a celebration of the day m this city, not one of the noisy kind that people turned from with loathing, but a sensible, uplifting, inspiring, patriotic observance; under the auspices of the Bariy County Chautauqua* at the Fair Grounds. Let us give the program, and see if you do not fully agree with ur as to this Celebration. Here it is: 8: 30 a. m.—Band Concert on Streets. 9: 00 a. m.—Band Concert on Chautauqua Grounds. 9: 30 a. m.—Baseball game. 10: 45—Lecture, “The Day and Its Mean­ ing,” £>r.

You will notice that there will not be a dry minute in the kentire program for the day. There will be two inspiring addresses. Dr. Wirt Lowther for the forenoon will be well worth hearing.

That such a device was badly needed was long realized, yet many otherwise famous designers have faded utterly in solving this problem. •* . ‘We purposely refrained from announcing the Everitt self-starter until its complete reliability had been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt.

The Standard “Everitt 30” for $1,250. Deliveries After July 15th. (Top, Lamps. Generator and Windshield Included.) , Equally remarkable at its price is the Everitt “Four— 36,” because it actually offers you at Si.500 quality and natures that are not to be found in any car within many hundred dollars of its cost. It has the Everitt self-starting device, and is the only ’iour-cylinder car on the market at h moderate price which includes such a device as a partaif its regular equipment. Like the Everitt "Six—48" it is constructed throughout "i chrome-uickel steel—a feature that instantly settles, 1 without any opportunity, for argument, the paramount question of quality employed in the material. ’ It is literally true that there is not to.be had at any price, a four-cylinder car wjiich excels the Everitt "Four —36" in this highly important particular. In general appearance, size and power the **30” shows little change for the new season, although those familiar with this famous car will discover in it many refinements and im|>ortaiit improvements. It is a veritable triumph to be able to offer you the "30^ top, windshield and . for $1,250 for 1912, including the complete equipment. In other words, we have been able to reduce our manu­ facturing expense far below that incurred by other manur facturers, and when you buy an Everitt car your share of lifts difference stays in your pocket.

CHIDESTE.R LEADING CLOTHIER____________ Our Up-To-Date Milling Machinery* Is The Best That Money Can Buy There isn't a flouring mill in this country that has a better equip­ ment of flour making machinery than this mill has, and very FEW in­ deed that have as good. We are right in the very heart of the best wheat producing section of Michigan, as far as the flour making QUALTIESof wheat are con­ cerned. We PAY a BONUS to farmers whose wheat tests over 60 POUNDS to the bushel. We have paid*farmers THOUSANDS of dollars in BONUSES. We have farmers who have grown wheat ESPECIALLY for us for many years, because we pay them MORE than they can get anywhere else. In this way we get the VERY BEST WHEAT, and with our modern improved flour-making machinery we MAKE THE BEST FLO(| R. That’s WHY French’s White Lily Flour is BETTER than any other flour your money can buy. . Millers all over the country like to get a good MICHIGAN wheat to make their flour from. But when they BUY it they have " to PAY THE FREIGHT on the wheat delivered to THEIR MILLS and that FREIGHT must be ADDED to the COST of the flour they make. And when YOU buy their flour, YOU have to PAY the FREIGHT on the flour delivered from their mill to your GROCER or ELEVA­ , TOR. So YOU have to pay the FREIGHT on both the WHEAT and the FLOUR. Did you ever stop to think of that? With us, the wheat is delivered right at our mill, and the freight charges on French's White Lily Flour to all points in Barry County, are so small, compared with flours made outside, that it is insignificant. Then we run this big mill night and day, year in and year out. That lessens our operating expenses MORE than HALF. Thats WHY French’s White Lily Flour is the BEST FLOUR MADE for the money. There is MORE of it sold in Barry County than all other flours combined. Every grocer and every elevator in Barry County handles it, because PEOPLE DEMAND IT. Why not try French’s White Lily the next time you bake. Don’t accept any substitute, nor anything claimed to be “JUST AS GOOD” because it won’t be. Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

They KNOW that as they can’t make a choice cup of coffee with a poor, inferior grade of coffee, they cannot make choice bread out of poor inferior flour. So they always buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY. The gluten and phosphates are the truly nourishing parts of flour. But they are lost or impaired in the process of milling with the old styles of flour-making machinery. Modem inventive genius has devised machinery' to preserve these qualities in their highest efficiency. That is WHY we threw out our entire equipment of flour making machinery last year, and put in a bran-new outfit of the latest and best that money can buy. That is why the French’s White Lily Flour you buy today is BETTER than it ever was before. That is what makes it so rich, and enables it to yield the purest, most fragrant and most wholesome bread and biscuits ever eaten. .

A Few Reasons Why New Yerk Central Lines We have the NEWEST and most UP-TO-DATE flour making machinery in the state, having spent several thousands of dolI SB A lars in improvements in our four successful years here. Purity Flour is all made by these NEW machines, and PACKED by AUTOMATIC PACKERS, so the hands do not come in contact with the flour, from START to FINISH. ■ . , I We operate by ELECTRIC POWER, which is automatically regulated, so that it is ALWAYS UNIFORM. Electric power I M Al is recognized as the only ABSOLUTELY CLEAN and SANI­ TARY power. If we used steam power we would be constant­ ly bothered with coal dust, cinders and steam, which would cause trouble. Flour readily absorbs the ODORS and GERMS from outside bodies, and this effects the QUALITY of the flour. If we used water power, we would be constantly bothered with the ODORS from stagnant and backed up water, and the POISONOUS-VAPORS arisingfrom filthy “green-scum” covered water, which is nothing but decayed VEGETABLE matter. If you will take a walk through our mill, you will notice that a sweet “FLOURY” SMELL pervades the whole building. We INVITE you to call and SEE FOR YOURSELF. . . • ...

I have been at work since the 13th day of June, giving the mill a thorough overhauling. When I say overhauling I do not mean that I took a stick and a brush and just scraped the grease off to make it look a little better. I have taken every machine apart and every part that was worn out has been replaced with new parts. I have changed the FLOW of the mill over to my own individual system. I will make flour that when baked into bread will hold its moisture. The name of this flour is MONITOR. So when you see a sack with the word Monitor on, coming from Irving, you can rest assured that it contains flour that retains all the nutritious qualities of the wheat, especially the best gluten, which gives this flour superior strength and baking qualities and is warranted to be absolutely pure. It will always be uniform in quality, color and strength. It will need but one trial to insure continued use. Everybody who patronizes this mill will get a square deal. You will always find me in the market for good wheat and pre. I would like to buy all the rye that is raised within ten miles of Irving and if prices and good weights have anything to do with it I am going to get it. Ask about my exchange plan.

NEW PROCESS WICK BLUE FLAME OIL COOK STOVES “New Process" Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook Stoves are SAFER and EASIER TO OPERATE than an ordinary lamp. They BURN KEROSENE. The OIL LEVEL is located BELOW the top of the wick-tube, making it impossible for the oil to run over and flood the stove. And the Automatic Wick Stop on the “New Process" prevents the wick from being turned too nigh. The Improved "NEW PROCESS” Vapor Stove, is the ORIG­ INAL EVAPORATING STOVE that has revolutionized the Gasoline Stove business. For many years it has demonstrated its superiority over every other stove in SAFETY, SIMPLICITY AND ECONOMY of operation. It lights like gas! A feature that makes it popular, as without heat, smoke or delay, the stove can be instantly started in operation; turn the valve wheel and ap­ ply the match; the stove is ready for work. The “NEW PROCESS" solves the problem of economical cook­ ingin all country homesand suburban residences where gas for fuel cannot be obtained, giving the user every advantage, convenience and comfort which the use of gas stoves and other modem appli­ ances afford. “NEW PROCESS" Tanks for 1911 edbody a number of im­ portant features that are worth the careful consideration of every buyer. They are made of brass, double seamed, never rust, and will not leak even if sufficiently heated to melt the solder.

THY BANNER WANT AD8. alTTAIL r«lC«S WILL MAKE BAKING People want French’s White Lily Flour because it is ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE. It is BETTER to-day than it EVER WAS BEFORE, because it is made of the very best of materials; in the very best way, and in just as good an equipped mill as there is in the country. . . . . This is an age of PROGRESS, and you'll always find French’s White Lily Flour right in line. Things that are all right to-day are put on the JUNK PILE to­ morrow—or ought to be put there. The OLD WAYS of doing things must give way to the BETTER WAYS—that’s PROGRESS. Farming, stock-growing, manufac­ turing, and all kinds of mercantile pursuits are done DIFFERENTLY to-day than they were 10, 15 or 20 years ago. . •’ Fully appreciating that fact, we threw out our old equipment of machinery LAST YEAR and installed a BRAND NEW PLANT. We did this not to inake more flour, but to make BETTER flour. There is not one machine in our mill today that was there the forepart of LAST YEAR. The equipment that we THREW OUT was a BETTER ONE than the great majority of flour mills in this country have in their mills to-day. Our new machinery is now thoroughly adjuated and i, running aa SMOOTH AS OIL. We are making BETTER FLOUR than we ever did before in the history of the mill. And when it gets right down to “brass tacks,*' there has been just as much improvement in flour-making machinery in the last 10 YEARS as there has been in any other line of manufacture. . You cui’t KNOW how good • flour French’, White Lily Flour u if you haven’t uud it since we put in our new equipment, hi,'BETTER, SMOOTHER and of The mill that does not have a COMPLETE EQUIPMENT of LATEST and MOST IMPROVED flour-making machinery can not produce as good a QUALITY of flour as the mill that has such an equipmept; When it come, to baking day,, you don’t run a SINGLE CHANCE. We GUARANTEE French’s White Lily Flour to SATISFY YOU. It’, the BEST your money can buy. Why not get the BEST? MORE EVEN QUALITY than any other flour you can buy. Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

This Bank is performing a great co-operation service for this community and county. It issues drafts, domestic and foreign. It handles checking accounts without expense for the accommodation. We post ourselves as fully as we can, and are always in touch with the best information as to investments for our customers and friends. We place ourselves fully at your service in all these matters, r But our best service is our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT This too is conceived and carried out in the co-operative spirit. We care for your savings, so invest them that they are as secure a& a government bond. We do not seek the doubtful paper and invest­ ments that offer large rates of interest. We invest our savings de­ posits largely in farm mortgages and bonds, because of their great security. Any paper we take is always carefully investigated, so as to-be assured of its full value. Back of our deposits are not only the capital and surplus of this bank, $125,000 and the stockholders liability of $75,000.more, but also the entire $635,000 of resources of this bank. Could you ask better secuity? And we pay n per cent compounded semi annually « on our savings deposits • That fs 50 per cent better interest than a government bond.

IS THE BEST FOR YOUR MONEY Flour is the most important food product, but you will find that there is just as much difference in the QUALITY of flour as there is in the quality of clothing, shoes, furniture or any other manufactured products. You will always find that the BEST products are made by those Who have the BEST mechanical equipments, and who KNOW their business thoroughly. Some clothing, shoes and furniture is better than others although it DOESN’T COST YOU ANY MORE.. That’s because through long experience in manufacture careful thought and study, having the best equipment of machinery, and more favor* able conditions of manufacture, they CAN and DO, produce a BETTER product at the price than their competitors can do. Exactly the same conditions prevail -in making flour. The "style” doesn’t change in flour. When you buy it, you buy it for its QUALITY and nothing elae, You are entitled to the BEST FOR YOUR MONEY. The ONLY WAY you can deter­ mine which is the BEST is TRY it in your own kitchen. Within the past year we have spent a good many thousands of dollars for a com­ plete NEW EQUIPMENT of flour making machinery. We installed a COM­ PLETE equipment of the latest and MOST MODERN flour making machinery just to IMPROVE the QUALITY of French’s White Lily Flour. If YOU haven’t tried the French’s White Lily Flour that we arc making NOW then you have not done justice to yourself, or the flour. The French’s White Lily that we are making to-day is BETTER than it EVER was before, because it’s made with the VERY BEST MACHINERY and in the BEST possible manner. Our big mill runs night and day, year ip and year out, and it’s operated by water power, the cheapest and best power known. And back of it all is the combined knowledge and experience of 37 years of successful manufacture. So if you want the BEST FOR YOUR MONEY; if you want the HIGHEST QUALITY'in flour, you are going to try French’s White Lily sooner or later. And the SOONER you begin, the sooner you’ll comm encc cutting dwn your LIVING EXPENSES and the EASIER it will be for the housewife on baking days. Why not order a sack to-day? Your grocer has it.-’ So does every elevator in Barry county. Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

This Bank is performing a great co-operation service for this community and county. It issues drafts,. domestic and foreign. It handles checking accounts without expense for the accommodation. We post ourselves as fully as we can, and are always in touch with the best information as to investments for otir customers and friends. We place ourselves fully at your service in all these matters But our best service is our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT This too is conceived and carried out in the co-operative spirit. We care for your savings, so invest them that they are as secure as a government bond. We do not seek the«doubtful paper and invest­ ments that offer large rates of interest.

Back of our deposits are not only the capital and surplus of this bank, $125.000^nd- the stockholders liability of $75,000 more, but also the entire $635,000 of resources of this bank. Could you ask better secuity? And we pay n per cent compounded semi annually v on our savings deposits That is 50 per cent better interest than a government bond Let us show you how ♦veil we can serve you.

Hutlip, Hili' The Oliver Stands For Plow Excellence RIDING PLOWS It will soon be time to commence plowing. Nothing takes the place of GOOD WORK. Un less a plow does perfect work you CANNOT AFFORD TO OWN IT, no matter what the price. The CROPS YOU RAISE will depend VERY LARGELY upon the KIND OF PLOWING YOU DO. Get a plow that is easy to ride and that can be operated with little EFFORT on your part. Get a plow of EASY DRAFT. An extra one-eighth horse power, added to the draft will SOON cost you the price of a NEW PLOW. Horse flesh and horse feed COST MONEY. We don’t try to sec HOW CHEAP a line of plows we can handle, but HOW GOOD. We carry the JOHN DEERE and the OLIVER lines of plows. There are none better made. Long experience in the manufacture of plows in the largest and best equipped plow factories in the world, has en­ abled these two companies to reach the height of excellehce in the making of plows. In the'selection of materials, in , their combination and making jnto plows that are perfectly adapted to’ do the BEST WORK-ft r the minimum cost in materials and in the expenditure of muscle energy of the horses. These two firms easily lead the world. YOU TAKE NO Cl IANCE WIIEN YOU BUY AN OLIVER OR A DEERE PLOW. SEE OUR SPECIAL LINES ot DEERE and OLIVER SULKY PLOWS. Let. us show you.

We sometimes think that we can get something “just as good” for less money, and so save a few cents, or a few dollars; and yet in the long run, we are disappointed. Then we reach the wise conclusion that we MUST PAY’ for what WE GET, and that we never GET MORE THAN WE PAY FOR. There are many processes in the manufacture of flour, and consequently, many opportunities for CHEAPENING it. But the QUALITY’ always suffers, and the CONSUMER PAYS THE FREIGHT. We have always made FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR exactly the SAME QUALITY and GRADE, no matter what the price of wheat, the cost of labor, or the expense of NEW dqd MODERN MACHINERY. We Eave dependcXupoiM^r.ability to MAKE and SELL a LARGE OUTPUT leville to keep the COST down to the LOWEST BASIS and at the same time,-give our pa­ trons a flour that cannot be duplicated in ANY OTHER MILL at ANY PRICE. We have succeeded, and our constantly increasing sales of late attest the FACT that the average consumer is an intelligent buyer, and KNOWS BEYOND DOUBT when he, or she, is getting the. MOST VALUE and the BEST SATISFACTION for the money. He or she has come to fully realize that "the best is the best’’ after all, and that the "just as good" kinds of flour, are much more EXPENSIVE TO USE than good old reliable FRENCH’S WHITE LILY, the flour the best cooks use. With it’s brand dew equipment of the latest and best models of machinery, our mill today is in the highest state of efficiency. As a result, the French's White Lily Flour we are making to-day is BETTER than ever before. Its the BEST that any mill CAN PRODUCE. You’ll soon be laying in your winter’s supply. Why not do as others are doing drop the expensive “just as good kind,” and get the BEST—French’s White Lily iddleville Roller Mills R. T.

MENTION OXFORD BARGAINS AT OUR BIG MID SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE from Grand people have taken advantage of our Mid-Summer Cl^rance Sale, during the past week, to buy Pumps or Oxfords. The Pump and Oxford season will last yet for a long time and if you are thinking of buying a pair you cannot afford to let thia opportunity jto by. Remember that thia ia no ahelf worn remnant atock, but ALL NEW 1911 GOODS. And in our great Mid>&mmcr Sale we do not RESERVE a single rmir. EVERYTHING GOES at sacrifice prices m the way of Pumps, Oxfords and Ties, including the famous WALK-OVER LINE for Men and Women, the J. a K. line of $3.00 Oxfords for wdmen; the>well known “SHER­ WOOD LINE” of $2.00 and $2.50 Oxfords for Women; the H. C. GODMAN line for women at $1.00; $1.25 and $1.50; the “BUSTER BROWN’’ and “WALK-IN” lines for Misses and Children; and the “BUSTER BROWN” and “EXCELSIOR” SHOE CO.’S lines for Boys. You KNOW that the prices at which we regularly sold these goods are as LOW as they are sold ANYWHERE. Many who will read this advertisement are familiar with the regular prices and will appreciate the big BARGAIN VALUES at the SPECIAL MID-SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE PRICES. ' „ . Some people may WONDER WHY we offer Pumpa and Oxfords for even LESS MONEY than we could replace them on our shelves for. Surely thia style of footwear will be worn NEXT YEAR. Why not KEEP ALL WE CAN’T SELL AT REGULAR PRICES UNTIL NEXT YEAR? In the first place if we followed that plan, we would have to be to the trouble and expense of packing them up and storing away; we would be out the interest on the investment, etc. But CHIEF of all the STYLES MAY CHANGE. We promised the people of Barry County to conduct an UP-TO-DATE SHOE STORE. We couldn’t do that by sell­ ing LAST YEAR’S STYLES. So we are goingto close out AU our Pumps, Oxfords and Ties THIS YEAR. When you come here next year for Pumps and Oxfords we’ll have nothing but 1912 STYLES for you. That’s why bo many people buy their footwear of us. They KNOW that what they buy is the LATEST and BEST. We have ALL SIZES and WIDTHS of Pumps and Oxfords for our Mid-Summer Clearance Sale. But they are going like “hot cakes.” Better come as soon as you possibly can. , ", , .‘ .

Un­ less a plow does perfect work you CANNOT AFFORD TO OWN IT, no matter what the price. The CROPS YOU RAISE will depend VERY LARGELY upon the KIND OF PLOWING YOU DO. Get a plow that is easy to ride aAd that can be operated with little EFFORT on your part. Get a plow of EASY DRAFT. An extra one-eighth horse power, added to the draft will SOON cost you the price of a NEW PLOW. Horse flesh and horse feed COST MONEY. We don’t try to see HOW CHEAP a line of plows we can handle, but HOW GOOD. We carry the JOHN DEERE and the OLIVER lines of plows. There are none better made. Long experience in the manufacture of plows in the largest and best equipped plow factories in the world, has en­ abled these two companies to reach the height of excellence in the making of plows. In the ion of materials, in their combination and making into pldws that are perfectly adapted-to do the BEST WORK for the minimum cost in materials and ini the’"P^dijur^of muscle eneriy of the horier. These two firm, easily lead the world. YOU TAKE NO CHANCE WHEN YOU BUY AN OLIVER OR A DEERE PLOW. SEE OUR SPECIAL LINES ol DEERE and OLIVER SULKY PLOWS. Let us show you.

IS THE FLOUR THE BEST $OOKS USE Sometimes the housewife gets an idea that she is entitled to better results in baking. . She feels that with her broad experience in preparing different kinds'of foods, she ought to be capable of producing a better QUALITY of things to eat for the household. She feels that she owes it both to herself and family to make bread and pastry of a better kind. But when “bake day” arrives, she goes right through with the same old routine and gets tbe same unsatisfactory results. k She continues to buy a poor quality of flour, for no other reason than that it’s “thrlcind I had before. She seems to fail to associate the poorness of her baking, with the kind of flour she is using. ’ . ; * She takes all the blame upon herself, and is seemingly, indifferent to the FACT that her b’aking is just as good. a* any housewife could produce with the same kind of flour ville To all such housewives we would recommend a trial sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. ■ We wouldn't ask you to buy a whole lot of it—just get a sack and give it a fair, honest trial. . We know that your expert judgment will pronounce it |hc ideal family flour. We know that its perfect baking qualities, and its uniformity will really convince you it is the result of skillful milling. Ani “iron-clad” GUARANTEE- cover* each sack labeled.. There is more French’s White Lily Flour used in Barry County to-day than of superior qualities all othdr flburs combined. Those who are using it, KNOW — its... . . , from long continued use of it. It \s those who are not using it, and who have not even TRIED IT that we wish especially to reach. Last year we put in a COMPLETE new outfit of machinery, and threw out ALL of our old equipment. So the French’s White Lily Flour you buy now is better than it ever was before. Why not order a trial sack and see for yourself?

We have SAVED the farmers of Barry County THOU­ SANDS of DOLLARS every year. Farmers are rapidly coming to realize that it is ■ GOOD PROPOSITION to lay ii> their WINTER’S SUPPLY of FLOUR at this time of the year, on our 40 POUND EXCHANGE BASIS, and more and more of them are coming here every year. , t PURITY FLOUR is the BEST flour that is made. It is,ALL made from BARRY COUNTY wheat. Bread made from it HOLDS ITS MOISTURE ■ LONGER, because we NEVER mix any SPRING WHEAT with it, as so maay flour makers do, TO CUT DOWN THE COST of the flour, as spring wheat is cheaper than Michigan Wintex Wheat. When you exchange your wheat for a winter’s supply of PURITY FLOUR you will find that the OLDER your flour becomes, the BETTER it will be. The last you use will be BETTER even than the first, because it will have time to thoroughly CURE. When you yc EXCHANGE your wheat for PURITY FLOUR you get your DISH COUPONS just the same 88 though you paid cash. We have just received our second large lai consignment of handsome 42 PIECE DIN­ NER SETS that retail regularly in the large city stores at from $8 to $10 per set. We put ONE COUPON in every 24 1-2 pound sack and TWO COUPONS in every 49 pound sack. We give one of these beautiful 42 piece Dinner sets with 8 coupons and $2.98 cash; or one set with 16 coupons and $2.50 cash; or one set with 25 coupons and $1.75 cash; or one set with 50 coupons and $1.25 cash; or one set with,75 coupons and 51.00 cash. For 100 COUPONS we will GIVE YOU a set ABSOLUTELY FREE. Remember you get these coupons when you EXCHANGE your wheat for PURITY FLOUR. We want YOU to use PURITY.

H. HULING MAKES THE BEST BREAD, CAKE AND PASTRIES In other words it promotes WHOLESOME BOOD, and wholesome food is the foundation of a healthy, wholesome life. The well-fed person is usually a well-behaved person and grows better as the years roll on. We don’t mean the person well fed on rich, stuffy "knick knacks,” but good light bread, along with other wholesome foods. We have never hesitated about taking a forward step, no matter what the COST. We’ve never even considered" EXPENSE in keeping our large plant at the highest state of efficiency, and to day there isn’t a better equipped flour mill in the whole United States. ' . ’ ' . But be sure the bread is LIGHT. Heavy bread is an abomination to the stomach, because it forms into "dough balls” which the gastric juices cannot penetrate. Our machinery was all put in NEW last year and is the MOST MODERN that ^oney can buy, and it is driven night and day by WATER* POWEIV the best power known. To insure having light wholesome bread it is adviseable to buy only that kind of flour winch you KNOW is of HIGHEST QUALITY and RELIABLE. You take these "transitory” brands of flour that are on the market today and off the market tomorrow, and they are invariably of an indifferent QUALITY. You can’t "BANK ON ’EM.” The same is true of flours which are made in mills that run only a few hours each day and then stop. The starting and stopping of the delicate flour mill machinery every eighror ten hours affects the QUALITY ci the flour. For 25 years we have run this big mill night and day, year in and year out. For over 37 years we have done nqthing but make Frencht’s White Lily Flour. The ex­ perience we have gained in that time, has taught us a good many ways in which we can improve the quality, without ifrereasing the price. With the best power, the best machinery, running steadily night and day, year in and year out, and with 37 YEARS of experience in making nothing but French’s White Lily, we produce a flour that for "QUALITY,” "SMOOTHNESS” and "EVENNESS,” is not equalled by any other make. If you will give it a trial you will find that it will GO FARTHER and LAST LONGER than any other flour made, because you will use EVERY PARTICLE of it. There will be NO WASTE and no SPOILED BAKINGS on account ci the flour. Your experience pnd-good judgment will soon teach you HOW MUCH to use ahd the proper baking conditions. As soon as you find that out, and it isn’t difficult, you’ll never have any more baking trouble, because French’s White Lily Flour is ALWAYS THE SAmE. Why not try it? ’ Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

Admiral Dewey Admiral Dewey Ill health obliges me to dispose oi my Registered Percheron Stallion." Admiral Dewey. I will therefore offer him at a Public Auction, to be held at Couch s Livery Barn, Hastings Sat. Aug. 19, 1911 AT 3 O’CLOCK P. M. .Admiral Dewey is a registered Percheron Stpllion, of the highest breeding. His unsurpassed qualities as a getter of high class colts are proven conclusively by the hun­ dreds of oolts he has sired/ which command top notch prices on the market. He has been exhibited at the Barry County Fair with his colts of all ages, and has taken first premiums against all comers by reason of the splendid colts he has sired. Thus by the highest test, his virtues as a sire are preeminently shown. Any one who is particularly interested can go to the township of Woodland where he stood for several years, and find plenty of his colts and talk with their owners. Or if they will come to me, I will give them all manner of references. One of the best things about Admiral Dewey is his kind, gentle disposition, and that is a predominant quality in his colts. < — He is sound in every way and good for many years of excellent and profitable service to any o^ncr.

If there had been none who could be accommodated by this bank it would not have been wise for us to begin business. Events have proven the wisdom of dur location in Hastings. From a cap­ ital of $50,000 and no surplus, we have grown to capital of $75,000 with surplus and undivided profits^ of $50,000 more. From total resources of $125,000 at the end of the first year, we have grown to $640,000 total resources now. From having but a few hundred depositors, they are now numbered in the thousands. All this tells the story of a bank that has filled a REAL NEED" in this community and county; and proves that our institution has performed a real service, and has proven an ACCOMMODA­ TION to the people. (1) In the first place we are here to care for the surplus earn­ ings of those who do business with us. Our Savings Department* is a real accommodation. We receive the savings of Our depositors, loaning the larger portion of them on. first lien Stiortgages on real estate, and high grade bonds. Our other loans are collateral loans of the highest credit. But such high class loans command the low­ est rates of interest. We could loan on notes or bonds of more or less questionable character at higher rates of interest. But that would be taking chances with the sacred trust funds of our de* -positors which we cannot feel we ought to do. Consequently we' go safe for our depositors and ourselves. To do this we can afford to pay THREE PER CENT INTEREST compounded semi­ annually on all Savings Deposits. We are sure that any depositor would rather have three per cent interest in a bank that is very conservative and careful with its loans than to accept a higher rate in a bank that is far less careful about how it loans its \noney. ■> Our Savings Department is a very real accommodation to depositors. ‘ (2) Our Commercial Department affords a very great accom­ modation to our patrons. We handle the active checking accounts without? expense to the depositor. Every check of the customer operates as a receipt when paid by this bank, affording greater security and protection to the commercial depositor. It likewise saves the one who carries the active account from Carrying cash with him, which is dangerous because of the liability of loss or ' robbery or both. A checking account in a good bank is the upto-date way of doing business. , (3) We sell drafts on New York, Chicago and Detroit at very moderate cost to our customers. These drafts are the equiv­ alent of cash, and the service we render in this department is a very helpful one. (4) We loan money on real estate, and on good safe bank­ able notes and this is an important service, and by means of it a . large volume of business is done that would be otherwise impossible. (5) Another accommodation is that which we extend to our customers who are looking for safe, good investments. We are in touch with those who can furnish the best of GILT EDGE INVESTMENTS. We can secure information from those in a position to know about any proposition in which a customer is contemplating an investment, but of which he may not know the details. We are always glad to give our services to our friends and to all patrons of this bank to inform them as to investments. Arc you a customer of this Bank? II not, come in and let us talk matters over with you. We will be glad to number you with our increasing list ol customers. We believe you will like us, and like our way of doing business. * I..- nor of the moat profitable that the W. G.

In the making of flour our aim is to produce the BEST, and to give users of French’s White Lily Flour the BEST VALUE at THE PRICE—and we are DOING IT. We don’t care what new machinery costs. If any new machinery is introduced that will make French’s White Lily Flour BETTER, we BUY IT and REPLACE the old. This policy always keeps our big mill'at the highest state of EFFICIENCY every MINUTE, and enables it to produce the BEST GRADE of flour that can possibly be made. We regard SATISFIED CUSTOMERS as above COST to us, and it is a source of PRIDE and PLEASURE to KNOW of the large number of families in Barry County who have NEVER used any other flour than French’s White Lily. Our large trade was built upon this SOLID FOUNDATION. Following the policy that we started out upon, has created such a DEMAND for French’s White Lily, that for MORE THAN 25 YEARS we have been compelled to run NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out. This is a great BENEFIT to every user of French’s White Lily, because it GUARANTEES to YOU a smooth, even QUALITY, of flour that you can ALWAYS DEPEND UPON. French’s White Lily Flour is die most ECONOMICAL flour you can use in your home. You will find that it will REDUCE YOUR LIVING EXPENSES. After you use it a few times you will KNOW juat HOW MUCH of the flour to use and just HOW LONG it should remain in the oven, i ou can depend upon it just as much as ‘ you can a good clock or watch, because you will find that French’s White Lily Flour is ALWAYS RELIABLE. There will NEVER be any SPOILED BAKING, and your bread, cakes and pastries will be ALWAYS THE SAME—Always goodf. x French’s White Lily Flour is made AFTER A PLAN. It’s the RESULT of 37 YEARS of STUDY, THOUGHT and EXPERIENCE. When you buy any other flour you don’t get the BENEFIT of that experience. YOU have to PAY FOR IT in a poorer QUALITY of flour. You CANNOT geti a smooth, even QUALITY of flour in ANY MILL that runs only a few hours each day and then STOPS. It is IMPOSSIBLE. It takes quite a long time, after you stop for hours and start up, for the machinery to get “warmed up.” If you happen to get a sack of flour made while the machinery is “warming up” it is SURE to be of an UNEVEN QUALITY and UNSATISFACTORY. If you are using some other brand of flour than French’s White Lily, and your bakings are SPOILED, you can KNOW THE REASON. But WHY TAKE THE CHANCES? -Why not buy Frencb’s White Lily, that's made in a mill that runs steadily 24 hours a day, year in and year out? It doesn’t coSt you any more, and a sack of it will go farther and RESULTS will be BETTER. Why not try it and CONVINCE YOURSELF? y ' Middleville Roller Mills ' I. R. T.

Cou", MkL ACCOMMODATION This bank was established for business reasons because it was believed there was need of such an institution for the accommodation of the business in­ terests of Hastings, and the people who had money and wished to deposit it in a safe place where it was subject to call, and would be earning something for them as well. If there had been none who could be accommodated by this bank it would not have been wise for us to begin business. Events have proven the wisdom of our location in Hastings. From a cap­ ital of $50,000 and no surplus, we havje grmvn to a capital of $75,000 with surplus and undivided profits of $50,000 more. From total resources of $125,000 at t he end of the first year, we have grown to $640,000 total resources now. From having but a few hundred depositors, they are novy numbered in the thousands. 1’rvd Kelley. opDanby, had an rye j •emoved by Foster, at Lnnelng. Iu»t week.

"Hl-le, hl-lo."—Portland Be-1 AU this tells the story of a bank that has filled a REAL NEED in this community and county; and proves that our institution has performed a real service, and has proven an ACCOMMODA­ TION to the people. (1) In the first place we are here to care for the surplus earn­ ings of those who do business with us. Our Savings Department is a real accommodation. We receive the savings of our depositors, loaning the larger portion of them on first lien mortgages on real estate, and high grade bonds. Our other loans are collateral loans of the highest credit. But such high class-loans command the low­ est rates of interest. We could loan on notes or bonds of more or less questionable character at higher rates of interest. But that would be taking chances with the sacred trust funds of our de­ positors which we cannot feel we ought to do. Consequently we go safe for our depositors and ourselves. To do this we can afford to pay THREE PER CENT INTEREST compounded semi­ annually on all Savings Deposits. We are sure that any depositor would rather have three per cent interest in a bank that is very conservative and careful with its loans than to accept >i higher rate in a bank that is far less careful about how it loans, its money. Our Savings Department is a very real accommodation to depositors. I (2) Our Commercial Department affords » very great accom­ modation to our patrons. We handle the active checking accounts without expense to the depositor. Every-check of the customer operates as a receipt when paid by this bank, affording greater security and protection to the commercial depositor. It likewise saves the one who carries the active account from carrying cash with him, which is dangerous because of the liability of loss or robbery or both. A checking account in a good bank is the upto-date way of doing business. (3) We sell drafts on New York, Chicago and Detroit at very moderate cost to our customers. These drafts arc the equiv­ alent of cash, and the service we render in this department is a very helpful one. ■ , • (4) We loan money on real estate, and on good safe bank­ able notes and this is an important service, and by means of it a large volume of business is done that would be otherwise impossible. (5) Another accommodation is that which we extend te'Our customers wbo are looking for safe, good investments. We are in touch -with those who can furnish the best of GILT EDGE INVESTMENTS.

It should be a pleasure to know that the money you have worked for, planned for and economized for is in a bank that has weathered every financial storm without a tremor, and has always stood in this community as the synonym of strength. This should appeal most of all to the ones who suffer most when times arc bad.

HASTINGS, IS A GUARANTEED FLOUR That means a whole lot to the housewife, who has to do the baking. When she uses French’s White Lily she knowr in advance just how her bakings are "coming out.’’ It lightens her work and at the same time lessens your expense. NOTICE TO THE CONSUMER The Quality of French’s White Lily Flour is unsurpassed. It is equally good for Bread, CaKes and Pastry. Your Grocer is author* ized to refund purchase ’price if you find it unsatisfactory in any way. Guaranteed full weight, 24;. lbs. R. T. FRENCH, Middleville, Mich. You will find the above notice on every sack of French'S White Lily Flour. is our GUARANTEE that YOU will be pleased with, your purchase. It If the flour should not|>e as we represent it to be; if itvis not satisfactory {o YOU, we want you to return it to your Grocer, Elevator Man, or wherever you bought it, and get your money back, .or get a new sack of flour. When you BUY flour you want to get the BE$T FOR YOUR MONEY. French’s White Lily Flour won’t cost you any more PER SACK than any other. When you come to USE it you will find that it is much the lowest priced in the end, BECAUSE you will USE ALL"OF IT. There won’t beany WASTE; there ^on’L be any spoiled bakings; there won’t be any work thrown away. French’s White Lily Flour is the BEST flour made. It is manufactured under EVERY FAVORABLE CONDITION. For more than 25 YEARS the demand for it has been so great that we have been compelled to run NIGHT and DAY year in and year out. That enables us to make the BEST and MOST EVEN QUAL1TY of flour that it is possible to make. You wijl find that French’s White Lily Flour is SMOOTHER, and a much more EVEN flour than any other flour you can buy. And with the brand new machinery which we put in last year, French’s White Lily is BETTER today than it ever was before, because it's milled by the BEST machinery that money can buy. . You CANNOT geta smooth, even QUALITY of flour in ANY MILL that runs only a few houraeach day and then STOPS. It is IMPOSSIBLE. It takes quite a long time, after you stop for hours and start up, for the machinery to get "warmed up/L If you happen-to get a sack of flour made while the machinery is "warming up" it is SURE to be of an UNEVEN QUALITY and UNSATISFACTORY. If you are using some pther brand of flour than French’s Whitp Lily, and your bakings are SPOILED, yoii can KNOW THE REASON. -If YOU are having baking troubles, why not try a sack of the French’s White Lily we are making today? It won’t cost you any more than any other flour. A sack of it will go farther, and your results in baking will be much BETTER. It will help to cut down your living expenses. Just try a sack and see for yourself.

The children are named, commencing at the left, Frederick, aged 9, Valentine, aged nearly 7 and William, aged 5. They are three bright, sweet children. Those who knew Mrs. Hetmanspergcr, their mother, will remember that she was a deeply religious woman, who taught her children to pray night andiRpming, to be obedient and industrious, and they were all helpers about the home. They all seem to be very alert, learn readily, and once their Lunlidcnce is won. are very lovable little boys. ' Judge Clement Smith hds been named as guardian of these orphaned boys, and notwithstanding the great pressure of other deities, he accepted the trust because he felt he ought. He did this after having taken into his own home an older sister of the boys, Miss Marguerite 1 ietmansperger. He is very anxious to place these boys in good homes. We give their pictures and this space, hoping to thereby aid the kindhearted Judge and ^hese little boys.

It comes to some through inheritance; the struggle was not made by them. The “hard knocks" were experienced by the “other fellow," who commenced “at the bottom of the ladder." Many of those to whom fortune comes in this way do not appreciate it. The old saying is “they do not know how they got it," and it is VERY OFTEN the case that those who come in possession of a competence in this way “do not KNOW HOW to keep it." * ’ > • SELF-RELIANCE and INDEPENDENCE come through HONESTLY ACQUIRING, and “making.one's own way in the world." The saying “HE KNOWS HOW HE GOT IT," is generally true of the man who BY HIS OWN EFFORTS has “MADE GOOD." To enjoy the harvest you must do your own fitting, sowing and planting; you must plan and prepare for the benefit you expect to receive. There can’t anybody do it for you, as well as YOU can do it for yourself, considering your own welfare. • ' » If you are getting a certain weekly or monthly wage, and you have saved nothing from it then You Have Not Counted The Cost—tnat means Sickness and Lost Days, and perhaps Lost Employment. The only way is to Save Something, however small. Put away something for the day When You Cannot Labor. Unless you do the soil will not be fitted for the crop—There Will Be Nothing to Harvest.

The courses offered are broad enough to accommodate the varied needs of the student body. The equipment is the best in the county, and compares very favorably with that of the leading high schools of the state. The teachers are ener­ getic, college trained men and women of broad experience and their past records would seem a sufficient guarantee of present success; Our County Normal offers rare advantages to those pre­ paring th teach.

Parents, and students with irregular classification, will find it convenient to consult with the Superintendent on Friday, Saturday or Monday preceding the opening of school.

You can bcVt to jive you courteous JOSEPH ROGERS, hastn^K IS THE FLOUR THE BEST COOKS USE Because the beat cooks KNOW that the BEST FLOUR can’t be made in a mill that runs only a few hours each day and then STOPS. You stop a flour mill and let the machinery get “COOLED OFF,” and it WON’T make a GOOD, EVEN QUALITY of flour until the machinery gets thoroughly “WARMED UP” and thoroughly ad­ justed to itself. And THAT TAKES TIME. In lots of mills you won’t get a good, even QUALITY after the fnachinery does get warmed up, because THEY DON’T KNOW HOW. For MORE. THAN 25 YEARS this mill has been RUNNING NIGHT AND DAY, year in and year out, and French’s White Lily has earned the reputation of being the BEST FLOUR MADE. We believe that you could count up on the fingers of yourhands, all the mills in this whole country that can produce a record equally as good. That’s ONE. REASON why French’s White Lily Flour has AL­ WAYS had the reputation of being such a SMOOTH, EVEN FLOUR. Our machinery never stops. With our automatically regulated WATER POWER,-our machinery is driven at Just such a speed all the time, night and day. It stands to reason thaf-such a mill can produce the BEST QUALITY of flour. In addition to all this, our mill has a brand new equipment of r>e very latest and best model machinery. When you stop to conIder that EVERY MACHINE in our mill was installed NEW last year, at an expense of many thousands of dollars, you can begin to appreciate the reason WHY French’s White Lily Flour is BET­ TER than any other. We “mill” our grain MORE THOROUGHLY than other mills because we have the best machinery made. We put French’s White Lily Flour through more processes than othefc mills DO or CAN, because we are EQUIPPED for DOING IT. The result is that YOU get a BETTER FLOUR. You’ll find by ACTUAL TEST that other flours are not in the SAME CLASS. When we come to market our product, we don’t have to charge you any more than, you would have to pay for the ordinary kind of*, flour, because by running night and day our OPERATING EX­ PENSE is MORE THAN CUT IN TWO. We make our flour at a MUCH LOWER COST than others, because we own our owp mill, our own water power and electric plant, and cut our operating expenses more than IN TWO by running NIGHT and DAY. , Just ASK YOURSELF this question: “Is it GOOD BUSINESS POLICY for ME to continue using an INFERIOR QUALITY of flour when I can get French’s White Lily at the same price per sack?” ,/ If YOU Will give the FLOUR QUESTION a little thought, you will soon be doing what the great majority of the people in Barry County are doing-using FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR.

YES MADAME, STYLISH WINTER GARMENTS AT AFTER-WINTER PRICES WE WILL DUPLICATE THE SUCCESS OF LAST YEAR’S SALE BY REPEATING YOUR SAVINGS! READ THE REASONS!! We Have a Short Story to Relate, True and Important Madam! Don’t Skip a Line of this Important Announcement Your* truly, John Bassmor TNb Jswslsr 1 rihqp tsLim - This Fall and Winter promise to be one of the most popular Plush Coat year of years, and . figures prove that all the Mills out-put of thecountry combined will fall short 25 per cent, of* the demand. The Cloak House of STYLE­ CRAFT foresaw this in time and acted. We bought from them early-we bought big and we bought cheap. - We have backed up our convic­ tions with the merchandise and the values will back up our proposition to you. ■/ These garments are now on exhibition at our j store. We cordially ant} earnestly invite you to come in and select oqir'of these beautiful Winter Garments. Is A WORD TO THE WISE SHOP­ PER SUFFICIENT? Select your Style-your Pattern, and let us put it. away for you. Come in and make a small deposit every week and when cold weather comes, your Coat is paid fbr\ ■■ and ready for you. Bear in mind that these styles arc ABSOLUTELY THE VERY LASTEST-cut along the most beautiful lines; hence, every garment fits perfectly. % STYLE-CRAFT Plush Garments are the most desirable because of three points of interestto you. < Months ago we heard that the very few Mills making CARACUL and PLUSH COATS were limited in their supply and out-put and that the demand was increasing. Michigan INAL MENTION We knew that if we waited till June to buy CARACUL and PLUSH COATS that we would have to pay a great deal more than now. WE WERE RIGHT! Our judgment has prompted an early purchase—a gigantic scoop of high-grade Stylish CARACUL and PLUSH COATS at prices that, now enable us to offer th^m for sale for what later buyers are now payings for these goods. ’ < The RESULTS to you are self-explanatory. Beginning September 1st. we will place these beautiful Garments on sale in our store at positive­ ly 25 per cent, less than they will be sold for dur—ing October and full 40 per cent less than any oth­ er local dealer can possibly sell them for. Just a,minute more, please—these are not just "Plushes,” but stylish high-grade Plush Coats of faultless fit and beautifully proportioned lines that show their merit through and through. . (NOTE) Were we obliged to go-into the market now and select more of these Coats; manufacturers are charging from 30 per cent, to 40 per cent, increase for them, and in Winter these garments will have to be sold for a great deal .more than we are now charging.

OPEN EVENINGS JOSEPH ROGERS, hamuM IS MADE UNDER EVERY PERFECT CONDITION The present high standard of French’s White Lily Flour was not attained In ONE, YEAR: It represents the GRADUAL IM­ PROVEMENTS gained through more than 37 YEARS of SUCCESS­ FUL Manufacture. The GREATEST IMPROVEMENT we EVER MADE was last year, when we put In a complete equipment of brand new machin­ ery. We dumped EVERY ONE of our old machines on the JUNK PILE, and replaced them ALL with the very LATEST and BEST models that MONEY CAN BUY. It COST US a good many thou­ sands of dollars to-make these IMPROVEMENTS, but we are NOW malting the BEST FLOUR It is possible to produce as the RESULT. With our complete outfit of new machinery, we put our grain through MORE PROCESSES. First wo have a machine that takes ALL of the DIRT and ’’FUZZ’’ off of the wheat—and you would be GREATLY SURPRISED at the LARGE AMOUNT we get from wheat that a lot of millers would call "CLEAN.” In lots of the or­ dinary flour, ydu GET a lot.of that dirt and fuzz in the flour. When you buy French’s White Lily you don’t get any dirt or foul stuff— . nothing but the PURE CLEAN FLOUR. After our wheat is THOROUGHLY CLEANED it goes through a long process of rollers, and EVERY BIT of the MEAT of the wheat is taken out snd ROLLED FINER AND FINER. When you buy the ordinanr kind, you get a flour that has only been put through TWO or THREE processes. For more than 25 YEARS we have run this mill NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out. We don’t know of another mill in the whole country that can equal our record. The ordinary mill only runs EIGHT or TEN HOURS each day and then stops for 14 to 16 HOURS. In-the ordinary mills the SOLE OBJECT ia "PRODUC­ TION”—to convert as much wheat into FLOUR as la possible in the FEW hours they run. They are COMPELLED to do thia In order to nav expenses and make a living. Their RUNNING EX­ PENSES for an eight or ten hour run ere about as high as ours, be­ cause we run night and day. Our taxes, fnsurance. Interest on Investment, book-keeping, etc., are NO MORE for running 24 hours than they would be for EIGHT or TEN hours. Our MAIN.OBJECT is to IMPROVE “QUALITY”—and that’s what we DO. By running night and day. and with our superior facilities for manufacture, we are enabled to produce the BEST FLOUR MADE, and sell It to YOU at as low a price asyou would have to pay for the ordinary kind. The BEST FLOUR can’t be MADE in the ordinaiy mill that runs only a few hours each day and then STOPS. There s no need of your buying that kind when you can get French • White Lily at-the SAME PRICE you would have to pay for the ordinary kind.

Southwestern Michigan GETTING ON IN THE WORLD OFTEN COMES FROM GETTING A GOOD START K n.i.,1 nr Klddvllle. rortd cently and bagged fnur of them, lust publ'lah- No communication JOB PRINTING. And getting a start comes to men and women in different ways. It comes to some through inheritance: the struggle was not made by them. The “hard knocks” were expenenced by the “other fellow,” who commenced “at the bottom of the ladder.” Many of those to whom fortune comes in this way do not appreciate it. The old saying is “they do not know how they got it,” and it is VERY OFTEN the case that those who come in possession of a competence in this way “do not KNOW HOW to keep it.” . SELF-RELIANCE and INDEPENDENCE come through HONESTLY ACQUIRING, and “making one’s own way in the world.” The saying “HE KNOWS HOW HE GOT IT,” is generally true of the man who BY HIS OWN EFFORTS has “MADE GOOD.’ To enjoy the harvest you must do your own fitting, sowing and planting; you must plan aiuLpreparc for the benefit you expect to receive. There can’t anybody do it for you, as well as YOU can do it for yourself, considering your own welfare. If you are getting a certain weekly or monthly wage, and ypu have saved nothing from it then You Have Not Counted The Cost—that means Sickness and Lost Days, and perhaps Lost Employment. The only way is to Save Something, however small. Put away something for the day When You Cannot Labor.

It means that there is an increasing demand for “Purity Flour,” and it is being recognized as the BEST flour made in Barry County. We don’t pretend to have the LARGEST mill in operation; nor do we run it continuously; nor do we sell ALL the flour used. But we do make SOME FLOUR and sell all we make. ~. The success of this mill helps YOU, and when we help YOU, we ask YOUR help in return. Not through SYMPATHY, but through MERIT. The wife of a prominent business man in this city, who has ALWAYS used another brand of flour through the insistence of her husband, and against her wishes, TRIED a sack of “PURITY” FLOUR (for it was to his interest to sell PURITY) and to her surprise, she had BETTER BREAD than from the flour she had used for so many years. Why don’t YOU help YOUR husband, Mrs. Housewife? You run no risk whatever for WE stand back of “PURITY,” the flour that’s all pure flour.

IN DOING THIS THEY HAVE TO SACRIFICE “QUALITY." YOU CAN'T GET FLOUR OF QUALITY IN ANY MILL THAT RUNS QNLY A FEW HOURS EACH DAY AND THEN LETS ITS MACHINERY LAY IDLE FOR 14 TO 16 HOURS. , Just “churning cream" doesn’t make GOOD butter. You’ve got to “WORK." it. It’s just the same way with making flour. Making the BEST flour means a LOT more than just grinding wheat. In order to get the BEST pour you’ve got to “WORK" it. And. thars just wi^ere the small mill that only runs eight or ten hours a day “falls down." They MUST have a certain “PRODUCTION" in order to pay expenses and make a Jiving. In order to get that "PRODUCTION" they have to “rush” the wheat through just as rapidly a&JgMslble-and you can't DO that and make the BEST flour. They can't "CLEAN" their wheat as they should; they can't “roll” it as they should because that DEMANDS alot more MACHINERY; and it takes MORE "TIME" and takin^out “time” for such work cuts down 6n "PRODUCTION—and ..production is whatihey MUST have. So you can understand WHY you can­ not get the BEST flour from a mill that only runs a few hours each day and then STOPS. ; With this mill CONDITIONS are different than yop will find in any other mill in the country that we know of. lev! lie OTHER FLOURS We own our own mill, our own water powe^and electric lighting plant. We have a complete equipment of the very LATEST and BEST machinery that money cam buy, and ALL of it waa put in NEW last year. For the past 25 YEARS we have run thia big mill NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out. Our "operating expense" is no more than it would be if we run only eight or ten hours a day. That is, it doesn't cost US amy more for taxes, insurance, book-keeping, etc. On top of all thia, by hiring an extra man or two at night WE GET A 24 HOUR OUTPUT (or “production") for practically the SAME COST that we would have to pay. for an EIGHT or TEN HOUR RUN. This GREAT “SAVING" in “OPERATING" EXPENSE enables us to “work" our flour much more than any eight or ten hour, mill can do, and at the same time enables us to se!l\French's White Lily flour at the SAME PRICE the inferior flour would COST YOU.

Russell Houtktater, minor* License to sell Before everything else is the question of SAFETY. Put your money where you KNOW it is SAFE. A few banks pay aa high as 4 per cent interest on deposits to in* duce people to leave money with them. Ip the opinion of the safest and most conserve* tive bankers in the country, that is a HIGHER rate than can be paid and do a safe busi­ ness. WHY? Because the banks that pqy 4 per cent have to invest thbM dep«rtW hl securities that bear a HIGHER- RATE OF INTEREST, and such securities arc NEVER AS SAFE. If they were they would’nt have to pay a HIGHER rate of inter­ est. And here is another thing for you to think about. When you deposit your money in one of these outside banks you are placing it in the hands of of people you don’t know. Perhaps it is in a city you seldom, or never visit. In the very naturp of things you can’t get as close tojthem as you can to the people you know, whom you can trust and who have made a SUCCESS. ■ Here is another thing for you to consider. When you deposit your money in one of these outside banks YOU DON’T KNOW TO WHOM THEY ARE LOANING YOUR MONEY. You don’t know anything about it, only that they MUST loan it to someone who will pay a HIGHER RATE and make the security questionable, in or- . der to pay you a little higher rate on your deposits. When you deposit your money, in this bank you know your money is loaned on Barry County real estate, and loaned to Barry County people. That’s worth more to you than the trifling increase you'll get on your deposits in any outside bank, because you know that HERE YOUR MONEY IS, SAFE. You can rest easy and get your money any time you want it. So the best and safest way is to deposit your money in our Savings department and watch it grow.

When you buy Walk-Over Shoes, you get all the STYLE, COMFORT and WEARING QUALITY of a shoe that would COST YOU from $1.50 to $2.50 MORE in any other make, and your feet are dressed in taste, in fash­ ion, and in comfort. Our other lines are equally good VALUES even though lower priced. People are arousing to the FACT that the REAL COST of shoes is not measured by PRICE PER PAIR, but by the COST PER YEAR. People fere discovering too, that they can’t afford to buy the “poorly made,’’ cheap shoes, because they are TOO EXPENSIVE BY THE YEAR. That's why people appreciate the “WEARING QUALITIES” of the'lines we handle. b We have customers all over Barry County who have come to depend upon us for everything in foot- ■ wear. They come here because they KNOW that we carry in stock ALL WIDTHS ana ALL SIZES and in just as great assortments as they could find in the large city stores. They come here because they KNOW, too, that we DO just as we AGREE to do, and if anything is not JUST AS WE REPRESENT, we MAKE GOOD. Perhaps you will want some new shoes for yourself, your wife, or the children for Fair, time. You are going to come here and buy, we feel sure, because it’s the logical thing to do. We feel sure of it because 4' of the MERIT of the goods we sell: the ATTRACTIVENESS of the service we render, and above all the certainty of the QUALITY and SATISFACTION we render. You will agree with us that our Walk­ Over lines, and the other lines we carry are the BEST expression that can be found in Shoes for Men and Women. TAMARAC CORNERS.

SO IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CUSTOMERS WE HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO RUN OUR MILL NIGHT AND DAY. Never in the history af thia-mill has it cnioyed such a big business as it now has. It has shown a steady, constant gfowth EVERY' MONTH since we have had charge, and as the real MERIT of PURITY FLOUR has WON the loyal support of housewives who have given it A FAIR TRIAL. • . , We don’t claim that we are making ALL the flour that is used. We DO claim that we arc making “SOME FLOUR,” and that of late we have been "SELLING IT” just TWICE AS FAST as we could make it. in our regular daily run. PURITY FLOUR is the BEST flour made. Wc KNEW that people would come to that conclusion in time, and the fact that we’ve been COMPELLED to run night and day is POSITIVE PROOF of the (act that people have found PURITY’ FLOUR to be all that we . claim for it—THE BEST.- Why don’t YOU give PURITY' FLOUR a FAIR TRIAL and have your name on our rapidly- growing list of PLEASED CUSTOMERS? - HASTINGS MILLING CO.

OPEN EVENINGS JOSEPH ROGERS, '» PHONE 55 HiSTINHS, MICH JUST COMPARE IT WITH ANY OTHER FLOUR MADE If you haven't used French's White Lily Flour within the past year, you CAN’T KNOW how GOOD a flour it is. The complete equip­ ment of new machinery that we put in last year is doing BETTER WORK right now than it has at any time since we put it in, because . all parts have become thoroughly adjusted and running as “smooth as oil.’.’. . As a result, we are making BETTER FLOUR than was ever • _ made in the history of. this mill. Let your wife buy any flour she wishes to buy and then let her use French’s White Lily Flour. She will. ■■ soon settle which flour is the best—and we are not at all fearful as to the decision she will make. Get a sack of French's White Lily and let her make a batch of bread, biscuit, pastry—anything that requires floqr. Then have your family judge. We want you to be just as critical .al” possible. The more critical you are the better we will like it. 'This mill keeps “AHEAD OF THE PROCESSION.” ville We make a thorough study of the milling business, because that is "OUR BUSINESS.” When anything in the line of “IMPROVED MA­ CHINERY" or "IMPROVED METHODS” comes out WE HAVE IT—no matter what the cost, just so that it will improve French’s White Lily Flour. . j. ' The miller who has 20 YEAR OLD MACHINERY in his mill simply CAN’T make flour ECONOMICALLY or in THE BEST WAY. No more con the farmer use lann machinery of the models of 20 years ago, and expect to do his work ECONOMICALLY or in the best way, because there has been just as great an improvement in flour­ making machinery as there has been in farm machinery.

WHITE HOUSE GENERAL STORE PHONE 151 Hastings City Bank “THE BANK THAT DOES THINGS FOR YOU” W. L. HOGUE, Prop. HASTINGS, MICH Phone 3-2 Rings HASTINGS MICHIGAN BANNER PRINTER.Y FOR ARTISTIC-PRINTING BUGGIES OUR LINE IS COMPLETE AND OF HIGH GRADE SILENT PARTNER approral. so be called tbe ancient buttho question of WHERE TO PUT YOUR MONEY Before everything else is the question of SAFETY. Put your money where you KNOW it is SAFE. A few banks pay as high as-4 per cent interest on deposits to in­ duce fpeople to leave money with them. In the opinion of the safest and most conserva­ tive bankers in the country, that is a HIGHER rate than can be paid and do a safe’business. WHY? Because the banks that pay 4 per cent have to invest those deposits in securities that bear a HIGHER RATE OF INTEREST, and such securities are NEVER AS SAFE. If they were they would'nt have to pay a HIGHER rate of inter­ est. And here is another thing for you to think about. When you deposit your money in one of these outside banks you are placing it in the hands of of people you don’t know. Perhaps it is in a city you seldom, or never visit. In the very nature of things you can’t get as close to'them as you can to the people you know, whom you can trust and who have made a SUCCESS. Here is another thing for you to consider. When you deposit your money in one of these oouide bank. YOU DON’T KNOW TO WHOM THEY ARE LOADING YOUR MONEY. You don’t know anything about it, only that they MUST loan it to someone who will pay a HIGHER RATE and make the security questionable, in or­ der to pay you a tittle higher rate on your deposits. When yotf deposit your money in this bank you know your money is loaned on Barry County real estate, and loaned to Barry County people. That’s worth more to you than the trifling increase you’ll get on your deposits in any outside bank, because you know that HERE YOUR MONEY IS SAFE. You can rest easy and get your money any time you want it. So the best and safest way is to deposit your money in our Savings department and watch it grow.

JUST AS SOON AS IT IS RECEIVED, it would on­ ly be a very few years before a comfortable sum would be saved, and this sum would be WORKING FOR YOU HARDER AND HARDER as time goes on, because the sum would rapidly grow LARGER AND LARGER, like rotting a snow hall on« warm winter’s day. It will require a little DETERMINATION at first. It will mean giving up a few things you would like to have, or would like to do, because there are al­ ways plenty of ways to SPEND "MONEY. ' . If you are going to buy a Buggy, buy a GOOD ONE. cost you a little more than one that will be a "RATTLE TRAP” at the end of the year, but it will be the CHEAPEST for you in the long run, and that’aywhat the prudent man figures on. You have seen buggies that have gone all to pieces at the end of the first year. Then you've seen others that have been run for years, and were sound and all right. If you could have seen those two buggies placed side by side, when both were frosh and new, you might have said that one was Just as good as tho other, though the PRICE of one of them might have been several dollars MORE than the other. Right here is where it is always well to remember that a little CHEAP PAINT and VARNISH will COVER A MULTITUDE OF "DEFECTS.” Paint is a good deal "CHEAPER” than putting in the BEST MATERIALS. . When you BUY a buggy you MUST rely quite largely upon the "CHARACTER” of the MANUFACTURER WHO MAKES IT, and the INTEGRITY of the DEALER who SELLS IT. You can’t WHITTLE OFF THE SPOKES, nor SCRAPE the paint off the body .to SEE whether, you are getting a "SQUARE DEAL,” and a •25 buggy can be painted so that it will LOOK just as good as one that will cost THREE or FOUR times as much, but the WEAR and the VALUE won’t be there* ’ From our long experience in the vehicle business we KNOW which concerns m&Ke the BEST and MOST DEPENDABLE goods.

The method which seems best adapted to ordinary conditions In tho matted-row system. In the spring, when tho land is In good condition to work, harrow smooth and mark out rows four feet, apart and aa long aa possible. Then set tho plants at’ll or lf-lnch Intervals In the rod's, and cultivate often enough to keep the woods out and tbe sol) loose until September, when, If the plants are vigorous growers. the run­ ners should bo about six inches apart. It is desirable to train the runners the long way to tho rows, cutting out plantifcthat crowd. In ordinary plant­ ing trowel or spade la used to sot the plants. A spade Is an easy Implement to open the ground with. Strike It into tho ground and work it back and forth, draw out tho spado, oproad the roots ot the plant, and net It so the crown comes just to the surface of the ground. Firm the soil well about the roots of tho plant As soon m possible after sotting the plants, cul­ tivation tabould commence, and, It should continue at frequent intervals till fall. Koop too weeds down and the top coll loose. If the runners get too thick, cut out part of them, leaving about six Inches between them.

I concluded to clean up my yard of wire fence and to do so quickly, advertised what I had on hand a 9—40 fence with 16 stiff stays at 25 cents a rod. Well, it cleaned the yard in a hurry and no mistake. I did not expect.to buy any more fence this season, but as so many were disappointed in not getting any of this fence at this price, and have asked me if I was not going to have any more, I have decided it would be best to l>iiy—ANOTHER GAR LOAD. This I have done and I expect the fence to be here by Thursday Sept. 21st., and I am going to sell it at thesame price, 25 cents a rod. This will give all an opportunity to get the fence at the reduced price.

Johnsox had Why This Bank And All Michi­ gan State Banks Cannot Accept Postal Savings Deposits MICHIGAN BANKING LAWS RE­ Q UIRE A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERY DEPOSITOR INA STATE BANK The readers of the Banner fully understand that Congress in the winter of 1909 passed the Postal Savings Bank Law, under which Postal Saving Banks were per­ mitted to be established in connection with the post­ offices in such cities as the Postmaster General might designate. Ai postoffices are not provided with the necessary burglar proof safes and other conveniences for caring for the money deposited in Postal Savings Banks, it became necessary for congress to provide that these Postal Savings Banks might deposiv.their trust funds in commercial banks. ‘ When the measure was first introduced in congress, it provided that postmasters must deposit Pos­ tal Savings funds only in national banks. As that seemed to be too great a discrimination, the measure was amended so as to permit the deposit of Postal Savings Funds in state as well as national banks. The law as passed provided that the UNITED STATES MUST HAVE A FIRST LIEN UPON ALL THE ASSETS OF ANY BANK THAT MAY HAVE ACCEPTED TH? DEPOSITS OF POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITED IN THAT BANK. That is, the Postal Savings Law gives Postal Savings, preference over all other Savings in any commercial ^ank. t Thus in'case of a panic or financial flurry, the commercial bank, whether national or state, must take care of Uncle Sam first, and let the other depositors get along the best they can? The Attorney General of the State of Michigan has ruled, in the case of a state bank, which had applied for Postal Savings Bank deposits that such state bank MUST NOT accept any such deposits from the government, becayse the MICHIG^ BANKING LAW EXPRESSLY FORBIDS A MICHIGAN STATE BANK FROM GIVING?ONE DEPOSITOR ANY PREFERENCE OVER ANOTHER. Therefore he ruled that a Michigan State Bank could not lawfully accept Postal Sav­ ings deposits, for the acceptance of such deposits made the United States a PREFERRED CREDITOR of the said state bank, wjiich preference, or any preference whatever of one depositor in a state 'bank in this state over any or all other-depositors is strictly contrary to the Michigan State Banking Law, aad must not be done, and would not be allowed in Michigan. A Postal Savings Bank has been established in this city In connection with the Hastings postoficeWe make the explanation above in order that the people of Hastings and the surrounding country may understand fully why This Bank and every other Michigan State bank is not permitted to accept any deposits from the Hastings Postal Savings Bank, or any other Postal Savings Bank, which deposits are controlled by the Post Master General; and that official could and would deposit with this bank if we could accept his deposits, but we cannot for the reasons named above, even if we so desired. We make this explanation in order that the readers of the BANNER may understand just why this bank cannot accept deposits from the Postal Savings Bank of Hastings. We believe that the readers of the BANNER will also have a higher respect for the Michigan Banking Laws, because they do forbid giving any one depositor, no matter if that depositor is Uncle Sam. any preference what­ ever over any other depositor. While we are at it, let us also explain how thoroughly the Michigan Banking Law safeguards the interests of depositors in Michigan state banks, which/will also explain why there have been almost no. failures of the stkte banks of Michigan. (0—This bank is examined twice each year by the trained expert examiners of the Michigan State Banking Department. (2) —This bank is examined twice each year by a committee of its own stockholders and directors, who are required by the state Jaw to make sworn reports of the financial condition of the bank to the State Banking Department, and it must be spread upon the record book of this bank also. This exam­ ination must be as thorough as that of the state bank examiner’s. The committee must count the cash, examine the books, find the total of the deposits, inspect every note and mortgage and bond own­ ed by the bank and make its sworn report to the State Bank Commissioner. This makes the Direc­ tors and all connected with the Bank fully informed of its actual condition; and the' committee would be perjurers and liable to punishment as perjurers if they reported anything but the actual facts as they found them. No director of a state bank in Michigan can plead that he did not know the condi­ tion cf his bank, for the LAW COMPELS HIM TO KNOW. (3) —Five tirfies each year, this bank is required to make a sworn report of its assets and liabilities Uj the State Banking Department. That report is signed by the cashier, and by three directors of thebank. It must report the actual conditions of the bank when the report i* made. ' Any variation from the known actual facts wodld make those who sign that report perjurers and no man would wish to be a perjurer and liable to criminal prosecution as such. > ■ (4) —Thc Michigan Banking Laws limit to very safe proportions the size of loan that can be made by a Michigan state bank to any individual or corporation, no matter how good their credit, and pun­ ishes severely any excess loaning o( bank funds. (5) —The Michigan Banking Law, require that at least 15 per cent of all deposits must be kept irr the bank in actual cash or in approved reserve banks, and also requires that at least TWO THIRDS oi the Savings Deposits in any state bank must be invested in real estate mortgages or approved bonds, which are of the'hj^hejrt value as credits and bank assets, and ensure the safety of deposits in a state bank. ■ ‘ In enumerating these things, we are sure the readers, of the BANNER will appreciate that it is the excellence of the Michigan Banking. Laws, their strict* regulations, and thorough enforcement that' have made failures of state banks in Michigan almost unknown in recent years. ' It Will also be apparent, we believe why this Bank does not and CANNOT under the laws of Mich­ igan accept deposits from the Hastings Postal Savings Bank. THE LAW OF THIS STATE FOR­ BIDS US FROM MAKING EVEN UNCLE SAM A PREFERRED DEPOSITOR. The Postal Sav­ ings Law would permit us to take Postal Savings Deposits if we would give the government a first claim on all our assets. That we cannot do without violating the state law under which we are char ­ tered. ' * " -4 We "are sure the readers of the BANNER will accept this explanation and will understand that no reasons exist why this bank tan not receive the deposits of the Postal Savings Bank bf this city except that the Michigan Banking Law forbids us to do so for the reasons we have stated, and for no other reasons. State banks in other states are receiving Postal Savings Bank deposits BUT NO STATE BANK IN MICHIGAN CAN ACCEPT SUCH DEPOSITS,'NOR ANY DEPOSITS THAT GIVE ONE DEPOSITOR A PREFERENCE OVER ANY OTHER DEPOSITOR. We extend to every reader who has money to deposit a cordial invitation to leave itayith this bank. Wa know wc are disposed’to give every depositor-a square deal On any’funds he may leave here. We have shown that the Michigan Banking Law forbids us to make Uncle Sam or any one else a preferred depositor. WE PAY 3 PER CENT COMPOUND INTEREST ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS, WHICH IS AS HIGH A RATE OF INTEREST AS A BANK CAN PAY, WHEN IT IS DETERMINED A? WE ARE. TO ONLY MAKE SAFE LOANS,OF THE MONEY OUR DEPOSITORS LEAVE WITH US. .

IS THE IDEAL FAMILY FLOUR With it the housewife can make the lightest andmost delicious bread, biscuits, cakes and pastry/ French’s White Lily Flour is made with the utmost CLEANLINESS. We put our grain through a special mechanical process that removes every particle of dust, dirt and “fuzz before we even “start.” to make flour from it. . . We know of no other milk that gives the close, expert attention to the DETAILS of flour manufacture that we do. Ifyou' could visit this mill where French’s White Lily Flour is made you could readily see for your self just WHY it is BETTER than any other flour you can buy, and HOW we can AFFORD to make a BETTER flour and put it on the market ata Cost no larger than an inferior brand of flourjwould cost you leville In the ordinary mill the SOLE AIM is ^’’QUANTITY — to see HOW MUCH flour can be produced in the 10 HOURS more or less, it runs. It HAS to be that way to keep down the “general expense” account. Where QUANTITY is the CHIEF OBJECT then "QUAL­ ITY” has to be over looked. That is one of the reasons whyyou can never get a good, even, dependable flour in any mill'that runs eight or ten hours a day, and then stops. This mill runs night and day all the time, and that guarantees you a smooth, even QUALITY, . There is more French’s White Lily Flour sold in Barry County than all other flour combined.

Doubtless there are some people in this vicinity who say to themselves. '“What little flour I use wouldn't help or harm the Hastings Roller Mill.'1 So they keep pflht on usinrf life brand of flour to which they are accustomed, 'without even Jiving PURITY FLOUR a trial. We want to say right here that It does make a difference. Of course one ordinary user of flour will not make or break a mill, but if a large nam^er were in the same frame of mind it would cut quite a figure. We are running this mill night and day a good deal of the time now to keep up with our orders. This ought to clearly prove ONE of TWO things: -FlRST-that "PURITY FLOUR7, is the BEST FLOUR, or SECOND, that there are a lot of “chomps” to order MORE AND MORE OF IT. Now we have always entertained the highest respect for the “verdict" ot the people. Whoa they “speak” it is always wise to “listen." When they order MORE and MORE PURITY FLOUR each MONTH it MEANS that they like PURJTY FLOUR better than the brand they had been using before. • Why don’t YOU break away from your “flour prejudice" and ’ give PURITY FLOUR a lair trial? Every sack is GUARANTEED to please you, so you run no chances. You’ll find it the BEST FLOUR MADE— just as so many others have found it. Hastings Milling Co. C. A. KERR, Mgr- Phone 283. . - �.

Over 2,000 people visited our large doable store in the New Stebbins Blbck and our aisles were crow ded all the evening with people who came here to SEE-and to listen to the music furnished. During the evening we SOLD NO GOODS. We didn’t want to sell any. AU that we w anted was to MEET THE PEOPLE and SHOW THEM the lines w-e will carry, and the very reasonable prices we will charge. We came among you as total strangers. We didn’t KNOW YOU,and you didn’tKNOW US. That being true, we feel that it is no more than justice to you and to ourselves to let you know what our policy is, and will continue to be. We are here to SELL GOODS—in other words to DO BUSINESS. We have had a large experience in the retail Dry Goods line. We KNOW that if we do business with you that we MUST give you a “SQUARE DEAL.” If you should at any time make a purchase that should not prove perfectly satisfactory, return the goods and receive your money paid for same, as we consider the goods worth’ as much on one side of the counter as on the other. By doing-business ON THE SQUARE, and giving our , patrons honorable and courteous treatment, we confidently , expect to build up a business among you that will MERIT 1 your patronage and your good will. .

When the measure was first introduced in congress, it provided that postmasters must deposit Pos­ tal Savings funds only in national banks. As that seemed to be too great a discrimination, the measure was amended so as to permit the deposit of Postal Savings Funds in state as well as national banks. The law as passed provided that the UNITED STATES MUST HAVE A, FIRST LIEN UPON ALL THE ASSETS OF ANY BANK THAT MAY HAVE ACCEPTED THE DEPOSITS OF POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH POSTAL SAyiNGS DEPOSITED IN THAT BANK. That is, the Postal Savings Law gives Postal Savings preference over all other Savings in any - commercial bank.

Therefore he ruled that a Michigan State Bank could not lawfully accept Postal Sav­ ings deposits, for the acceptance of such deposits made the United States a PREFERRED CREDITOR of the said state bank, which preference, or any preference whatever of one depositor in a state bank in this state over any or all other depositors is strictly contrary, to the Michigan State Banking Law, and . must not be done, and would not be allowed in Michigan. ’ A Postal Savings Bank has been established in this city in connection with the Hastings postoffice. We make the explanation above in order that the people of Hastings and the surrounding kouipry may understand fully why This Bank and every other Michigan State bank is not permitted to accept any deposits from the Hastings Postal Savings Bank, or any other Postal Savings Bank, which deposits are controlled by the Post Master General; and that official could and would deposit with this bank if we could accept his deposits, but we cannot for the reasons named above, even if we so desired. We make this explanation in order that the readers of the BANNER may understand just why this bank cannot accept deposits from the Postal Savings Bank of Hastings.

While we are at it, let us also explain how thoroughly the Michigan Banking Law safeguards theinterests of depositors in Michigan state banks, which will also explain why there have been almost no . failures of the state banks of Michigan. (i)—This bank is examined twice each year by the trained expert State Banking Department. examiners of the Michigan t (a)—This bank is examined twice each year by a committee of its own stockholders and directors, who are required by the state law to make sworn reports of the .financial condition of the bank to the State Banking Department, and it must Ifc spread upon the record book of this bank also. ination must be as thorough as that of the state bank examiner’s. The committee This exam­ must count the cash, examine the books, find the total of the deposits, inspect every note and mortgage and bond own­ ed by the bank and make its sworn report to the State Bank Commissioner. This makes the Direc­ tors and all connected with the Bank fully informed of its actual condition; and the committee would be perjurers and likble to punishment as perjurers if they reported anything but the actual facts as No director of a state bank in Michigan can plead that he did not know the condi­ tion of his bank, for the LAW COMPELS HIM TO KNOW. they found them. (3)—Five times each-year, this bank is required to make a sworn report of its assets and liabilities to ' the State Banking Department. That report is'signed by the cashier, and by three directors of the bank. It must report the actual conditions of the bank when the report is made.. Any variation from the known actual facts would make those who sign that report perjurers' and no man would wish to be a perjurer and liable to criminal prosecution as such. (4) —The Michigan Banking Laws limit to very safe proportions the sixe of loan that can be made by a Michigan state bank to any indi’ndual or corporation, no matter how good their credit, and pun­ ishes severely any excess loaning of bank funds. > (5)—The Michigan Banking Laws require that at least 15 per cent of all deposits must be kept in the bank in actual'cash or in approved reserve banks, and also requires that at least TWO THIRDS of the Savings Deposits in any state bank must be invested in real estate mortgages or approved bonds, which are of the highest value as credits and bank assets^ and ensure the safety of deposits in a state bank. • ' In enumerating these things, we are sure the readers of the BANNER will appreciate that it is the exccnence.ofjhC'Michigan Banking Laws, their strict regulations, and thorough enforcement that Cold Weather WILL SOON BE HERE f ■nd then you 11 wish you had that new ttovo all ready in your hoiqe.

IS THE RESULT OF 37 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, THOUGHT AND STUDY Do our 37 years of experience in making flour mean anything to you? It means that when you buy French’s White Lily Flour you are not buying an experiment. It means that you are buying the BEST flour that years of careful milling can put out. ' And why not be especially PARTICULAR about the flour you use in your home? Good flour is the BASIS of all living, because GOOD FLOUR means GOOD BREAD and GOOD BREAD means GOOD HEALTH. There’s no -article of food that you should be ■ more particular about than the kind of flour you buy. If you are trying to CUT DOWN YOUR LIVING EXPENSES, then look well to the QUALITY of the flour you buy. An eminent authority has stated that, poor flour is one of the greatest avenues of WASTE, EXTRAVAGANCE and UNHAPPINESS in the home. Poor flour means POOR BREAD and POOR HEALTH and all its' attendant evils. , Don’t buy an inferior quality of flour and expect your wife to make GOOD BREAD—she CAN’T DO IT any more than she can put up good canned goods out of rotten fruit. If you are buying her a poor, villa, ' inferior quality of flour you are encouraging “WASTE” and thdt's ex­ pensive. More than that you are compelling your wife not only'to throw away yoyr mqney, but her work and her time besides. And the women have plenty to do without unnecessaryily adding to their burdens. 1 . And above all it is'UNNECESSARY. Buy her a sack of French’s White Lily Flour. She will notice the difference right away, and her baking will always be good. You’ll notice *a difference too in the sav­ ings on vour flour bills. AFTER YOU TOY FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR JUST ONCE YOU’LL AGREE THAT THE BEST FLOUR CAN’T BE MADE IN A MILL THAT ONLY RUNS A FEW HOURS EACH DAY AND THEN STOPS. ■ , You’ll agree too that the BEST flour can only be made in a mill that runs steadily night and day, year in and year out, and has the best equipment ot new machinery that money can buy—and thals French’s White Lily Flour. There’s more of it used in Barry County than all other flours combined. And thats not to be wondered at so much either, because the PRICE is no more than is charged .for flours of inferior quality.

MISSES' AND CHILDREN'S HIGH TOPS In Black or Tan Pnraell and family spent Sunday In In Marple Grove Last week we advertised Misses’ and Child­ ren's High Top Shoes and a great many people called at our store to buy them and were disap­ pointed. Our Misses' and Children's High Tops Were shipped from the factory over 4 WEEKS AGO, and we confidently expected to receive them long before Fair Week, as shipments from the factory are supposed to reach us in FOUR DAYS. So we felt perfectly safe in was sent BY MISTAKE way up advertising them. But our shipment , ... . _ above Muskegon, and did not reach us until TUESDAY of this week. We regret this mistake more than we can tell you, because it meant not only quite a loss to us financially, but MORE than anything else we dislike to DISAPPOINT anyone. But the Misses’ andJChildren’s High Tops are ACTUALLY HERE now, q nice big stock of them. Anyone not being able to get any in the city during Fair Week can come here NOW and get just what they want. Our Men’s, Boy’s and Youth’s High Tops, are “WATER PROOF” just as' NEAR as ANY leather can be made Water Proof. They will shed water much longer, and much better than the ordinary leather. For that reason they make an ideal school shoe, and they will stand HARD KNOCKS. And Men and Young Men find our High Tops make an ideal shoe for hunting and tramping around. Many men who can’t wear Rubber Boots because they “sweat the feet” and make them "tender," find our High Top Shoes to be JUST WHAT THEY WANT. widths. Sunday the Center road Era.

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. , ~ > With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rainy 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 adver­ tisements 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.

We spend MORE TIME in MILLING it RIGHT than other mills do. We take more pains in getting the wheat CLEAN before start­ ing it through the long series of rolls. Getting-the wheat THOROUGHLY CLEAN keeps all the dust, dirt and filth out of the flour. . Other mills don’t take the pains that we do in thoroughly CLEANING the wheat, because their sole aim is to get out a LARGE PRODUCTION. Therefore YOU get a lot of that dust and dirt in your flour. True it’s in very small particles, but it is there just the same. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour, you get nothing but the pure, clean flour. Then French’s White Lily Flour is rolled finer than other flours, because the meat of the wheat passes through more rolls. On account of the flour being rolled ,^er and more even than any other .flour, the yeast works through all parts of it thoroughly. . v The very fact that French’s White Lily Flour is better than others, explains WHY there is more of it used in Barry County than of all other flours combined. leville, For over 37 years we have been making it. People have tried it and found it to be the BEST by actual “test.” Occasionally some of its users have%een switched off to some other flours, attracted perhaps by extravagant claims etc. But jn the end they all come back to the old reliable “stand-by,” that they KNOW they can always “bank” on. .. There is nothing that wears on a woman’s nerves more than to bake poor bread, cake or pastry. You can help your wife on baking days by supplying her with • French’s White Lily Flour, which is ALWAYS the same and ALWAYS the BEST: v It’s made in 4 .mill that runs night and day, year in and year out, which insures a good, even QUALITY. You can’t gekan EVEN quality of flour from any mill that only runs part of the time. " If you haven't tried the French's White Lily Flour we are making NOW you can't appreciate how much better it is than any other flour. With our brand new equipment of machinery which we put in last year, we are making a QUALITY of flour that cannot be surpassed. Nor can it be EQUALLED in any mill that has an old equipment of machinery, Why not just “try” a sack of French's White Lily Flour and see for youraelf. Middleville Roller Mills • A R. T.

One year ago I took charge of this Bakery- A good many of my friends predicted “failure” for me, as misfortune seemed to have previously settled upon this location and “stuck around here” very firmly. x I didn’t know a thing about the Baking business, but I believed that the people of Hastings and Barry County would thoroughly appreciate a Bakery that they KNEW was CLEAN, and where the Bread and Baked Goods were at any rate JUST AS GOOD as those which were made outside of this county and shipped in. I believed that the people of Hastings and Barry County would rather "leave their money here" in town, by patronizing me, than buy bread that was made outside, PROVIDED MY BREAD WAS JUST ; AS GOOD. First, they would leave their money at home, and give employment to home labor. And, second, they would KNOW just WHERE fheir Bread and Baked Goods were made, and HOW they were made—two very important things that you KNOW NOTHING ABOUT when ypu buy Bread and\Baked Goods that are made away from home, and SHIPPED IN. Firmly believing these things, I invited the public to visit my bake shop, that people might SEE how CLEAN 1 keep my Baking Department, and to see that I use nothing but-the very BEST of everything. That the public appreciate my efibrts-to give them the BEST BREAD, and to. sell it to them CLEAN, PURE and FRESH, I refer to the "PYRAMID,” showing the GROWTH of my bread business since I took charge of this Bakery. Of late I have MY PYRAMID been baking 1000 to 1500 loaves ot bread DAILY— Showing Number'of Loaves of Bread Baked 10 to 15 times a,s much as I did the whole FIRST T1M«_ 1010 He. LOAVM WEEK that I took charge. , . -- -1st week No. -Loaves Baked THANK YOU ALL " “ “ At this, the close of my first year in the Bakery business, I want to take this-occasion to thank all my friends and patrons for their generous patronage and their kind expressions of good will. I appreciate it MORE than I can tell you. My aim is to IMPROVE, and I am gradu­ ally getting in shape to carry out plans that will enable me to give you even BETTER service than I have been able to give you in the past, and which I KNOW you will appreciate. I feel that there is "nothing too good'* for the- people of Hastings and Barry County, and in the line of Bread and Baked Goods I’m going to continue to give it to them.

I! WHY 3 PER CENT? - ' --We believe the people of Barry County .in general will appreciate a discussion of the proposition of inter­ est rates on bank deposits, especially in these days when they are getting all sorts of alluring circulars from outside banks, offering 4 per cent, interest on such deposits. Naturally when they think of that subject and of this bank, they will ask themselves with reference' to this Bank: “WHY 3 PER CENT?” We are only too glad to discuss that ques­ tion, and with perfect candor. Let us first answer the question: “WHY A BANK?” Our ideas and ideals on that subject will, if they shall commend themselves to you, enter vitally into the .'matter of-fixing the interest rates on deposits. As we view it, a bank exists for these reasons:.(!>) A public convenience, as a financial institution rendering valuable public services. That function is recognized by the laws of the state and of the nation. (2) A means of car­ ing for the savings or surplus money of the community it-serves and of caring for moiyty not to be immediately used by. its owners, and returning It to the owners whenever they may call for it. (3) In these later dais the bank has also taken on the function of furnishing a means of investment for the de­ positors, hence-interest is now generally paid on bank deposits if left un­ touched for given periods. 'This is just to the depositor as well as to the bank, since the latter is allowed the privilege of loaning the funds, deposited in the hank. (4) A bank exists also for the purpose of earning a fair 'profit to the owners of its capital stock.. They have to take the risks on the trust funds of the depositors as well as on their owq investments in the bank's stock which they own, and are surely entitled to a fair return on their investment. Above all else, and.beyond all else, a bank should regard the money left with it by its depositors as SACRED TRUST' FUNDS. These statements embody, generally speaking, the governing principles of the Hastings City Bank.. The first aim is THE SECURITY OF OUR DEPOSITORS’ MONEY, WHICH IS A SACRED TRUST COMMITTED TO US. If we agree upon the principles that ought to be respected in the' govern­ ment of a bank, then we can approach the /Jther question: “What rate of interest can a bank, governed by-such principles, afford to payoii u - deposits?” Speaking generally, we would answer: “A bank should pay all it can afford, and properly safeguard its depositors’ money, and return a fair rate of interest on their investment to the stockholders of the bank." This bank has never paid to its stockholders more than a fair interest return on their investment. We own our own building, W« pay'only moderate salaries. Our running expenses are vety light for the volume of business we dq. Why 3 Per Cent? Why, if other and outside banks pay 4 per cent, do we'not pay 4 per cent? Let us make some general statements' before answering directly. * (1) Only a relatively small number of banks do pay 4 per qent interest on deposits. , (2) Of the total bank deposits of this country, only a small percentage, receives over threp per cent interest. ' ' , . (3) The time will come when any man who has money to deposit WILL BE AFRAID TO DEPOSIT IN A BANK THAT PAYS OVER THREE PER CENT INTEREST ON DEPOSITS. Coming now directly to the question WHY DOES THE HASTINGS CITY BANK FIX THREE PER CENT AS ITS RATE OF INTEREST ON DEPOSITS? We give, these specific reasons: , (1) We are required tyr law to keep at least 15 per cent ol our depositors' money IN CASH in dur own bank, or in approved reserve banks. Because the law will not let.a bank go below that limit, it always* aims to keep well above it; so that it is safe to say'thpt for a year together, a bank's CASH RESERVE WOULD AVERAGE ad PER CENT. On it* own'cash, a bank gets no interest; on.what it has in other reserve banks, it wjlldeceive about 2% per cent. That will make its returns on 20 per cent of its deposits about i,’4 P«r cent' (2) On the remaining $80 of each $100 of the bank's deposits it can get at this time on first class'nome paper but 6 per cent. But very few banks can loan all their money at home. Tliey must go into the market for lojns. There they can get all kinds of loans. They can take risky loans for as high as 8 or to per cent. But if they restrict themselves, as we do,,to the highest' grade of outside loans, such as the best municipal bonds it can average qut 5 PER CENT on its outside loans. If a bank is willing to speculate, to take unwar­ ranted chances with the trust funds .of its depositors, it can get as high a rate of interest as its officers care to ask, according to the chances they are-willing to take with their depositors* money. From what we have shown it Is, evident that with SAFETY of the trust funds of our depositors as our chief aim and concern, this bank CANNOT AVERAGE OVER FIVE PER CENT INTEREST ON ITS ENTIRE DE­ POSITS IN SAFE LOANS. How can. we afford to pay 4 per cent on our deposits? We have to pay the running expenses of this bank, and the differ­ ence between 4 per cent and 5 per cent is not sufficient to do that,-as-any sensible man knows. IF WE PAID FOUR PER CENT. WS WOULD HAVE TO AVERAGE 8IX ON OUR LOANS. AND TO DO THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE SOME LOANS THAT WOULD INVOLVE RISKS THAT WE WILL NOT TAKE WITH OTHER PEOPLES’ MONEY. . , We airp to do a square, legitimate, conservative banking business, with SAFETY as tfie>imaconstant!y held in view. , We_believe we are'entitled to your confidence and that you had rather put your money in a bank that is.governed by the principles that govern this bank anebget 3 per cent for it than to put your money in a tank that must loan it on some security that is not of the highest value in order to get a higher rate of interest on its loans. Think these things over. And-as^ou do, wc are sure that you will agree thaf*in paying 3 per cent on deposits, wc are doing as well as a Bank can do and play safe with its depositdrs ’ money. We are making only a fair profit for our stockholders, and are giving our depositors every cent we can afford to as intereat. > .> Isn’t that the kind of a bank YOU would prefer to leave your money with? Will you not feel safer with your money with us at 3 per cent than with some loans, and tempts depositors with 4 percent? *> jure.

PAY We’ve Added Another NEW MACHINE to our equipment, giving us a complete and up-to-date outfit in every way. Ourmew machine is a "COOLER" and "BLENDER,” and will improve the QUALITY of PURITY FLOUR quite a large per cent. . ‘ . There is not a machine in Barry County like the one we have just installed, and if you have like'd Purity Flour in the past, you wifi like it better in the future. When we took charge of this mill, it was with the idea of makinff Purity Flour the BEST flour on the market-and we are “MAKING GOOD.” We believed that by giving EVERYONE a “Sauarc Deal,” and making the best flour we could possibly make, after spending practically ALL of our lifetime in the milling business, that we could build up a business that would be a BENEFIT to EVERY farmer -in Barry County, and every merchant and property owner in Hastings.___ __ We STARTED the plan ol giving 40 POUNDS of PURITY FLOUR in EX­ CHANGE for EACH BUSHEL of whett, because we could AFFORD to do it, and have a REASONABLE PROFIT for us-and that’s ALL we ask. But BEFORE we started here, farmers were only getting 30 to 35 POUNDS of flour in EXCHANGE. We LEDrhut others followed. But WOULD they have DONE SO, if WE hand’t started? So we have been of BENEFIT to EVERY FARMER by GIVING him from 5 to 10 pounds MORE flour for every bushel of his wheat, and we’ve also paid him the HIGHEST PRICES for his wheat. # We have. BENEFITED every merchant and property owner here by making Hastings one of the BEST wheat markets .in Michigan, and attracting* farmers here from miles around. ” ' ‘ People are fast realizing the true MERIT of PURITY FLOUR. They are pulling, down first prizes on BAKING from it. That goes to PROVE that there’s more to it than a lot of “hot air.” More Purity Flour is being used than there ever was before, and we are com­ pelled to run this mill night and day a good part of the time, to keep up with our orders. If YOU haven’t- tried Purity Flour, why not buy a sack and “PUT IT TO. THE TEST.” We would be glad to have you, and especially so, now that we have got our new machine installed and in operation.

By run­ ning our mill. NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out, we get a 24 HOUR OUTPUT at practically a 10 HOUR EXPENSE. That is a big SAVING to us. . We own our own mill. Wepay no rent. "Then we own our own WATER POWER and LIGHTING PLANT. Our POWER and our LIGHTS cost Us practically nothing. That is another large saving. Our taxes, insurance, interest on investment, book keeping and a great many other items are NO MORE for running 24 HOURS than they would be if we ran 5 HOURS or 10 HOURS. That’s another . BIG SAVING. ’ Thus, despite the fact that we clean our wheat BETTER; that we put our grain through MANY more processes than any other mill to make our flour CLEANER and BETTER, yet we don’t CHARGE Y OU any more for French’s White Lily Flour than you would have to pay for any ordinary flour. . You ask WHY? We’ll tell you. - . It’s BECAUSE of the MANY ECONOMIES, a few of which are ntu?S£! >n ^e beginning of this advertisement, that we have been able to ACCOMPLISH in the manufacture of French’s White Lily Flour. We have‘‘cut every corner” in the matter of EXPENSE.’ If we hadn’t then we limply could not afford to sell French’s White Lily at the low price we do, because we put so MUCH MORE TIME and EXPENSE into the manufacture of the flour Ville, than other flour-manufacturers do. The man who rents, or leases, a mill has to PAY RENT to the owner. If he runs only EIGHT or TEN hours a day, he gets only an eight or ten hour output, while we get practically a 24 HOUR output on a 10 HOUR EXPENSE. If he runs by steam, or other power, he is under a large expense there, which ’ ’ we AVOID by owning our own power. • If he runs eight or ten hours, his rent, insurance, book-keeping and many other iteftis are just as large as though he ran 24 HOURS as we do. Now when YOU buy the flour that he makes, don’t overlook the FACT that YOU have to FOOT THE BILLS for the LARGE EXTRA EXPENSE that he4s under. * Very naturally his sole object MUST BE to get out the VERY LARGEST POSSIBLE PRODUCTION. He MUST shove through all the wheat he possibly ” - can to cut down the GREAT GENERAL EXPENSE that we don't have. He CAN’T clean his wheat properly, nor can he put it through the processes it should be put'through to make the BEST FLOUR. Wo have made French's White Lily Flour for MORE than 37 YEARS. To make the fcest flour is our “hobby.” Our mill is equipped with a complete outfit of machinery that’s “up-to-the-minute" for the very latest and beskmodels. And naturally our 37 years of experience have taught us a great many things that all go to IMPROVE QUALITY, antfyou get the BENEFIT every time you buy a sack of French’s White Lily. If you are not interested in SAVING MONEY on your flour bills, then ypq perhapa’Won't be interested in this advertisement, only to the extent of its meaning BETTER BREAD. If you ARE interested in “cutting down” your living expenses, as well as getting BETTER BREAD in yourbome, YOU will be interested.

C.'Bamum to Clarence Kinne, SO We beljeve the people of Barry County in general will appreciate a discussion of the proposition of inter­ est rateS on hank deposits, especially in these, days when they are getting all sorts of alluring circulars from outside banks, offering 4 per cent, interest on such deposits. Naturally when they think of that subject and of this bank, they will ask themselves with reference 'to this bank: . “WHY 3 PER CENT?” We are only too glad to discuss that ques­ tion, and with perfect candor. - Let us first answer the question: “WHY A BANK?" Our ideas and ideals on that subject will, if they shall commend themselves to you, enter vitally into the matter of fixing the interest rates on deposits. As we view it, a bank exists, for these reasons: (i) A public convenience, as a financial institution^rendering valuable public services. That function is recognized by the laws of the^tate and of the nation- (2) A means of car­ ing for the savings or surplus money of the community it serves and of caring for money not to be immediately used by its owners, and returning it to the owners whenever they may call for it. (3) In these later days the bank has also taken on the function of furnishing a means of investment for the de­ positors, hence interest is now generally paid on bank deposits if left untouched for given periods. This is just to the depositor as wdl as to the bank, since the latter is allowed the privilege of loaning the funds deposited if) the bank. (4) A bank exists also for the purpose of earning ? fair profit to the owners of its capital stock,. They have to take the risks on the trust funds of the depositors as well as on their own investments in the bank’s stock which they own, and arc surely entitled to a fair return on their investment. Above all else, and beyond all else, a bank should regard the money left with it by its-depositors aa SACRED TRUST FUNDS. These statement* embody, generally speaking, the governing principles of the Hastings City Bank. The first aim is THE SECURITY OF OUR DEPOSITORS’ MONEY, WHICH IS A SACRED TRUST COMMITTED TO US. * If jvc agree upon the principles that ought to be respected in tho govern# ment of a bank, then we can approach the other question: "What rate of interest can a bank, governed by such principles, afford to pay on its deposits?” Speaking generally, wc would answer: *'A bank should pay all it can afford, and properly safeguard its depositors' money, and return a fair rate of interest on their investment’to the stockholders of the bank." Thia-bank has never paid to its stockholders more thap a fair interest return on their investment. We own our own building, We pay only moderate salaries. Our running expenses arc very light for the volume of business we do. 1 . « ' phons. New Shoe Shop ~ ~ J. S. KLIM ER. NORTHEAST KALAMO. Lee A. Reynolds to Ernest J.

In the fall, the surface is thoroughly dry, During the spring, a surface which needs repainting is sure to contain moisture and dampness or frost, and it cannot be successfully painted until it has thoroughly dried out. 2. When the wood is dry, it absorbs more of the paint. The1 paint penetrates deeper into the wood, therefore getting a firmer hold on it, giving the paint coating greater tenacity or holding qualities. . 3. Paint cannot be applied as successfully in damp, cloudy or unsettled weather as in warm, sunny weather, in the fall the weather ts more settled and uniform and is wanner, ' therefore it is an ideal time for painting. 4. A house needs its protecting coat of paint more in the winter month* than at-any other time. A house in need of repainting should never be allowed to go over the winter without this protection. ’ • w 5. It is easier to keep moisture and dampness out by applying a coat of paint when the surface is dry, than'St is to get moisture and dampness out of the wood when you want to apply paint. MORAL.

Buffalc N. Y., sole agents for the UnUt flutes. • , . Why, if other and outside banks pay. 4 per cent, do we not pay 4 per cent? Let us make some general statements before answering directly. (1) Only a relatively small number of banks do pay 4 per cent interest on deposits. (2) Of the total bank deposits of this* country, only a small percentage , receives over three per cent interest. (3) The time will come when any man who has money to deposit WILL BE AFRAID TO DEPOSIT IN A BANK THAT PAYS OVER THREE PER CENT INTEREST ON DEPOSITS. Coming now directly to the question WHY DOES THE HASTINGS CITY BANK FIX THREE PER CENT AS ITS RATE OF INTEREST ON DEPOSITS? We give these specific reasons: (1) We arc required by law to keep at least 15 per cent of our depositors’ money IN CASH in our own -bank, or in approved reserve banks. Because the law will not let a bank go below thaj,limit, it always aims to keep well above it; so that it is safe to say that, for a year together, a bank's CASH RESERVE WOULD AVERAGE ao PER CENT. On its own cash, a bank gets no interest; on what it has in other reserve banks, it will receive about 2% per cent. That will make its returns on 20 per cent of it* deposits about 1% per cept. ■ (2)On the remaining $80 of each $100 of the'bank’s deposits it can get at this time on first class home paper but 6 per cent. But very few banks can loan all their money at home. They must go into the market for loans. There they can get all lands of loans. They can take risky loans for as high as 8 or 10 per cent. But if they restrict themselves, as we do, to the highest grade of outside loans, such as the best municipal bonds it can average biit 5 PER CENT on its outside loans. If a bank is willing to speculate, to take unwar­ ranted chances with the trust funds of its depositors, it can get as high a rate of interest as its officers care to ask, according to the chances they are willing to take with their depositors’ money. , From what we have shown it is evident that with SAFETY of the trust funds of our depositor* as our chief aim and concern, this bank CANNOT AVERAGE OVER FIVE PER CENT INTEREST ON ITS ENTIRE DE­ POSITS IN SAFE LOANS. ,How can-we afford to pay 4 per cent on tour deposits? We have to pay the running expenses of this Sank, and the differCnee between 4'per cknt and 5 per cent is not sufficient to do that, as any \ sensible man know*. IF WE PAJD FOUR PER CENT, WE WOULD —J- HAVE TO AVERAGE SIX ON OUR LOANS, AND TO DO THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE SOME LOANS THAT WOULD INVOLVE RISKS THAT WE WILL NOT TAKE WITH OTHER PEOPLES’ MONEY. We aim to do A square, legitimate, conservative banking business, with , SAFETY as the aim constantly held in view. ’ We believe we are entitled to your confidence and that you had rather' put Kur. money in a bank-that is governed by the principles that govern this nk and get 3 per cent for it than to put your money in a bank that must loan it on some security that is not of the highest value in order to get a higher rate of interest on it* loans. . Think these things over. And as you do, we are sura that yotrwill agree that in paying 3 per cenTon deposits, we are doing as well as a Bank can do and play safe with its depositors' mtortey. We are making only a fair profit for our stockholders, and are givthg our depositors every cent we can afford to as interest. > Isn't that the kind.of albank YOU would prefer to leave your money with? Will you not feel siitr with your money with us at 3j>er cent than with some bank that take# risk/loans, and tempts depositors with 4 per cent? THINK IT OVE®.

Because with the new machiney just installed (our cooler ahd blender) our flour has been improved to a considerable extent. ’ . We did think we couldn’t improve “Purity” but we find with our new machine it is much stronger, making more bread to the barrel, while it still retains the ONE THING that has made Purity famous—ITS MOIST­ URE. You are not eating dry crusts in 24 hours if your bread is made from “Purity”; but it will, with reasonable care, stay moist until next baking day. Its Color. With our new machinery just installed you will find your bread as white as any flour in the market. We know because we sample with other flours every day. DISHES A £°°d many people have called here thb lust few days to'take VI vn L v advantage of the "dish order” that we have bden advertising for some time past,-but we were all out. It was all occasioped by some “mix up” on our order to the factory. But we are expecting another large consignment right away and hope to be able to supply all who wish them. . ’ . We regret very much that this happened, as "mistakes” sometimes will happen. But holders of Purity Flour Coupons need not worry as WE WILL ALWAYS DO JUST AS WE ADVERTISE TO DO.

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured arid 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 sm^ll 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 adver­ tisements 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. They were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared to bid. . ‘ Albert Wodmunsec and gang have V Before You Buy A Stove COME AND SEE OUR LARGE LINE < Get our prices, and see what we can do for you? We buy stoves and ran­ ges in such large quantities that we get the very LOWEST PRICES. As our RUNNING EXPENSES are VERY LOW compared with the city stores, we don’t have to charge you a good big per cent to cover expenses. What we save on ‘‘running expenses” wiU make a material reduction in the PRICE of the stove. And when you buy a stove here YOU’LL GET A GOOD ONE. We could buy the cheaper makes, and realize a greater* profit1 on each stove sold, but we KNOW that such stoves and ranges would not give SATISFACTION.We are “building for the future,’’ and every sale is based on the theory of “the BEST VALUE for the MONEY.’’ We sell the famous “ROUND OAK STOVES and RANGES’’ and others equally as good for the money.

T.'{FRENCH, Proprietor Michigan ■ > �LEATHER IS THE Because American Sole Leather Produced By the Majority ) I 4 Article from the “Hide and Leather” which appeared .Novem­ ber 12, 1910: AMERICAN SOLE LEATHER DETERIORATING? A*HfiFrcc^ronvCTifion"dr tlieT'Tational A«lM>cialioh of Tanners of Aniteri ica. the President (Mr. August II. Vogel), in his address, touched on a ques­ tion of a peculiarly delicate character. After deprecating the stuffing processes, by which sole leather may be loaded with weighting materials, he expressed the view that American sole leather had deteriorated in quality of late years, • and that the export trade of American tanner* would be affected to the extent that their foreign competitors declined to follow in their footsteps. “Would it not be fair to the customers,” he asked, “to give them an opportunity to chooge between weighted and unweighted leather, by publishing a chemical analysis of dur harnessTind sole leather and allowing them to decide hov? much extra ijec. tannin, Epsom salts and glucose they wish to buy? If this was done, I have no hesitancy about predicting the result which would follow, ' and again we could make an honest product with a fair margain of profit to ourselves. . In other words, Mr. Vogel believes, that honesty is the best policy, which in the long Tup is undoubtedly a sound business maxim. This, at any rate, ha^-been proved in the case of mimosa-tanned leather from Australia. -* A few years since complaints were frequently heard of- thp inordinate adulterationpf Australian sole hides with materials which were employed sjm-pljrfof the purpose oT adding weight. The Commerce Act of the Common­ wealth, however, compels the exporter, to affix to each consignment a declara­ tion of the proportion of adulterants used, whether they ibe glucose, Epsom salts, or barytes. The result is that users of Australia^ sqje leather in this country art unable to obtain supplies in sufficient quantities, so much is that class of material sought for. We cannot say the same thing regarding sole . leather from America, which is, as a rule, in plentiful supply. We do not suggest that the American tanner is the only sinner in this respect: there are some British tanners who would protest vigorously if asked to declare wheth­ er their product was pure or loaded with ingredients used for weighting pur­ poses only. But there can*be no doubt that Mr.'Vogel's suggestion is an ex- • cellent one, and would, if adopted,‘benefit both tanners and leather consumers. , It must however, be confessed that proposals of that character stand little ; chance of acceptance so long as certain classes of leather are sold by weight. ' Chrome leathers, which are sold by measurement, arc never mentioned when the subject of adulteration is discussed, for it is much easier to add to the weight of a hide or skin than to extend its superficial area. Wc have more than once advocated the adoption-of,some system under which sole leather could be quoted by the square foot instead of by the, pound. Once that method came into vogue, the incentive to use weighting sub­ stances, which are invariably injurious to the health of wearers, would be removed. • "Practical’ leather men tell us that such a revolutionary change is im­ probable. We are not sure that the objection they advance-as really insuper­ able o» that it is well founded. ^Tfie present custom permits of methods of manipulation which arc indefensible, and .which no,one is willing to advocate openly. Many tanqers are, we admit, free from reproach in this respect. But what a much better chanct these would haye in the selling market if all their, competitors were compelled to offer their product for what it actually is instead of what it is falsely described to be. . i. t . i Article appearing in the Boston newspapers, January 4, 1911: INFORMATION LAID BEFORE CONGRESS BY DR. WILEY, THE CHEMIST OF THE DEPART­ MENT OF AGRICULTURE Of Tanners Of This Country Is Deteriorating We can offer no stronger proof of the deteriorating in the quality of sole leather than to present here the article which appeared in the November 12, 1910 issue of the “Hide and Leather,” also; information laid before congress by Dr. Wiley, the chemist ol the Department of Agriculture, the article ap­ pearing in the Boston newspapers January 4, 1911. “TITE OKE” SOLE LEATHER Is Produced Exclusively by an Organization of Shoe Makers That Make the Burt & Packard, “Korrect Shape” and “Burrojap” Shoes They do not sell a single side of sole leather, consequently the weight in pounds of finished leather is of no importance to them. • “Tite Oke” Sole Leather is the result of a successful endeavor on the part of the manufactures of “Korrect Shape” “Burrojap” Shoes to overcorhe the question of poor sole leathers. The inferior sole leather produced by the majority of tanners in this country has brought about a situation that is. embarrasing to manufacturers, jobbers and retailers alike. As fqr the Consumer, he has been obliged to purchase shoes, the soles of which are filled with cheap, weighty stuffing, and so easily absorb moisture that his feet have been wet time and time again, resulting invariably in sickness. In producing TITE-OKE SOLE LEATHER, raw hides are secured from the finest cattle regions the world over. TITE-OKE Sole Leather is tanned by a superior- process which draws the fibers close and knits them firmly together, producing a sole leather that is as near waterproof as it is possible to make. Several manufactures have their so-called tanneries, which in reality are only bleacheries', wherein sole leather which has been purchased as red leather to give it the appearance of Oak Sole Leather. Such a process of bleaching saps from the leather whatever good may have remained after it was received from the tanner in a deteriorated condition, and it may well be likened to a sponge, so easily will it absorb moisture. ' Washington, January 2,—Fraudulent "loading’' of leather by the use of glucose and other materials is being practised to an immense extent, to the great detriment of the lower quality of shoes, according to information laid before Congress by Dr. Wiley, the chemist of the Department of Agriculture Dr. Wiley has-gathered a collection of samples of this loaded leather, and has pronounced 'the work "a sinjple fraud." • Especially is sole leather loaded, which ought not to be,’* said Dr. Wiley. "Glucose adds to the weight of the leather, and, of course, when you go out into the wet and snow, the glucose is soluble, runs oilt and the water runs into its plaice. There ought to be some law to prevent the practice.” Y Hastings HOW TO BETTER STATE’S POLITICAL CONDITIONS 4 dividual." In addition to hl* other remark* he . , 1 terlal force In this great city.

I AM MAKING WHOLEWHEAT BREAD So many people have asked me to make “Whole Wheat Bread”, that I have commenced baking it. I am here to MAKE what the people WANT, and to make it in the BEST WAY. “Whole Wheat Bread" is made from “Whole Wheat Flour”, and whole wheat flour is made from WHOLE WHEAT, with nothing but the OUTSIDE COVERING of the wheat taken off. ALL of the nourishing elements of the wheat are LEFT in whole wheat flour.. My customers are just as enthusiastic over the QUALITY of my “WHOLE WHEAT’" BREAD as they are oyer my Hastings Potato Bread. And you can always “BANK ON IT ’ that whatever you buy here will be CLEAN, PURE, and WHOLESOME. You DON’T KNOW about that when you buy bread and Baked Goods made outside.

It hasrequired much to win this enviable reputation of PURITY I7LOUR. It meant these things. (1) Complete overhauling of this mill, discarding every out-of­ date machine and installing new and up-to-date machinery when we first started the mill, gave us the right start. ' (2) A life time experience and thorough study of milling has kept us abreast of the newest and best processes in milling. (3) The recent addition of special equipment for improving the QUALITY, All these have combined to make Purity Flour set the pace. We use only the BEST BARRY CO. WHEAT. No better winter wheat is produced than is raised in this section of Michigan. Our coming here has helped the farmers too. 'Y’ou who study the Hastings markets know that we pay above the elevator prices for wheat. This mill inaugwrated the exchanging of 40 pounds of flour for a bushel of wheat. Before we started you got but 30 to. 35 pounds of flour in exchange. Our flour business has grown steadily until now we are compelled to run not only every day but often night and day to satisfy the demand for Purity Flour. Do YOU use Purity Flour? If not why not order a sack NOW and give it a trial. You run no risk. We guarantee it will satisisfy you. Return it to your grocer and get your money back if it doe snot. That shows what confidence we have in Purity Flour. You will feel that way too if you will give it a fair trial. OUR CONSIGNMENT OF DISHES HASARRIVED. BRING IN YOUR TICKETS. Hastings Milling Company C. A. Karr, Mgr. N. B.—Our big new feed grinder is kept pretty busy these days. But it has such a large capac­ ity that we can take care of your feed grinding too. “It does the best work ol any feed grinder I ever saw." That's what a well known farmer told us. and that's what you'll tell us too.

We have marked our furs at very reasonable prices for QUICK SELLING. We'would rather sell our furs during the season at a small profit, and SELL THEM, than to ask a large price now, and sell the balance at a reduced price at the end of the season, as is usually'Dustomary.

You get what you pay for when you buy Capps. On every garment is stamped the Capps name and guarantee, and experience has led us to back both with our O. K. While many manufacturers are producing cotton mixtures and inferior fabrics, Capps guarantees its product as strictly pure wool. That’s why they wear like steel and look natty too. There's wear and tear in each stitch— it’s the beauty that lasts. J. Capps & Sons have had a reputation as woolen manufacturers for almost three quarters of a (century. Experience of this kind counts in a business as intricate as that of selecting wools for clothing, dyeing that wool, carding it, spinning it and weaving it into cloth. Then comes the prdblem of mak­ ing that cloth into UP-TO-DATE fine fitting clothes. This is done in one place, not in isolated shops, located in crowded tenement districts, but in cool, light, airy shops, thoroughly inspected and cleansed. Absolutely no garments ore sent into the, homes of the workers. , Our goods are right because we use care in selection Our prices are right because founded on actual npt fictitious values 0 Hastings GRANT charming'epic of Indian life, Hlawa- LIFE OF SATASO, LAST OF In the lodge Chief Balago the poet spent much of his time more than halt a century ago when In this north country In search of material.

So very much depends in life upon getting the RIGHT START,and being HEADED RIGHT. This is particularly true of the HOME. Happiness in the home may resolve itself into a question ot GOOD BREAlb, and good bread resolves itself into the question of GOOD FLOUR. You can't fill people's stomachs with sour or soggy bread and expect a happy home. Nor is anything more unreasonable than to expect a housewife to make good M>rcad with poor flour. And it’s just as unreasonable to expect that flour is good flour because irijput up in a pretty sack. - GOOD FLOUR is the product of GOOD WHEAT treated with RIGHT MA­ CHINERY which is operated by a man with LARGE MILLING EXPERIENCE. The conditions for making Good Flour arc complete in this mill. We use 'none but Barry Co. Winter Wheat. There is nene better grown for flour making. We have a com­ plete, up-to-|he-«ainute equipment. No mill can have better machinery. My lather was a miller, and I have spent a life time in the milling business, in some of the best mills in the country and I know the business, and I know what a complete equipment for a mill shouldbe. I state unequivocally that this mill has all the up-to-the-minute equipment for flour mak­ ing. ' PURITY FLOUR is not merely GOOD FLOUR, it is the equal of the BEST FLOUR made. Why shouldn't it it be? The proof is shown in the large and INCREAS­ ING DEMAND for Purity Flour- People who try it once become its staunch friends, and it is t<j-day the indispensiblc, dependable stand-by flour in hundreds and hundreds of homes, - and the number is growing. «• , ' . ’ ’J Do” YOU use Purity Flour in your home? If not, why not give it-a trial? You run no risk. If it is not sausfactory«.rcturn it to your grocer and get your money back. Could anything be fairer than that? The establishing of Purity Flour on it's present basis, has meant a BETTER WHEAT MAltKET in this city and county, and 40 POUNDS of flour instead of 30 to 35 pounds in exchange for a bushel of wheat.

For All Flour Users To Consider NEW last year at an expense of thousands and thousands of dollars. There is not ONE MACHINE in our mill to-day that was there TWO YEARS AGO. Every machine in our mill is of the very LATEST and BEST model that money can buy. We are paying for this advertisement to talk to the people who DON’T use French’s White Lily Flour. There is MORE French’s White Lily used in Barry County than of ALL other flours combined. That’s the best evidence of what the people think about it who USE it, and KNOW what it is. However there are some families that for some reason or other, have not got around to TRY the flour'we are making TO-DAY, which is better than it ever was before, because we KNOW HOW better, and we have the BEST equipment of machinery that money can buy. The ones who DON’T use it are the ones we want to talk to in this advertisement. . ' French’s White Lily flour has maintained it’s position at the very front in the flour world,'.BECAUSE we keep righ up-to-the minute in our methods ot manufacture. ■ . We run our mill night dnd day year in and year out. We CLEAN our wheat BET­ TER arid put it through MORE PROCESSES than other mills do, and we don’t CHARGE any more for French’s White Lily than you PAY for the ordinary kind Nearly 40 gears ago the old pioneers used to come here from all parts of Barry County with their-os teams and gel French's White Lily Flour from our old "stone" mill. Times have changed, so have our methods. If those same old pioneers could, drive hare to-day in AUTOMOBILES they would find just as GREAT an improve- . meat in our equipment as there would be in their METHODS of locomotion. The ox team has GONE—so has our “stone" rpill. The up-to-date automobile is here, so is our up-to-date equipment of the very LATEST machinery, just put in vllle ■ , of flour, BECAUSE by running night and day we CUT OUR OPERATING expen’ se practically in TWO. We MAKE our flour at a MUCH LOWER COST than any other mill can, because we run night and day, we own our oWn mill, our own water power and lighting plant and have the BEST machinery, and all we ask is a reasonable profit. For these reasons we actually produce the BEST QUALITY of flour and sell it at a LOWER cost than any other mill CAN DO. And it’s BETTER to-day . than it ever was, even two years ago, because of the brand new equipment of machin­ ery we put in last year. Eventually you are going to USE French’s White Lily flour, because it’s the SMOOTHEST, BEST and MOST EVEN quality of flour on the market, and will SAVE YOU MONEY. It goes farther, and bakings from it will be SURER and BETTER. Now the ONLY WAY you can tell whether this is so, or not, is to TRY IT, and we invite you to do it. We GUARANTEE EVERY.SACK. Order some from /bur Grocer or Elevator man and put it to the test. We’ll be glad to havfe you, confident that your name will be added toifep very large list of satisfied users of French’s White Lily in this county. Why not DECIDE the matter NOW and order a sack to-day? Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

The United States Government has proclaimed it to be ILLEGAL, and in violation of the “Pure Eood Laws” for anyone to sell ground feed containing ground “cobs” without labelling it "GROUND COB MEAL.” ■\_Now if there was any “food value” to ground cobs, the U. S. Government would not make this provision. A good many farmers have their feed ground “COB and all.” They do it for the reason that they think they lose so much corn by reason of the grinding machine not being able to SHELL the corn completely, and NOT from any "feeding value” the cob possesses. Really there is no more food value in the cobs of corn than there is in the shucks of peanuts. If anything, the cobs are a detriment to feed. Our new high power shelter, will shell the corn frojn the cob just aS “clean as a whistle." No matter how green your com may be, there will be NO WASTE if you bring it here for us to shell. Our new high power shelter is one of the new machines in our new Feed Grinding equipment. Our new Feed Grinding equipment is the BEST that money can buy. There's nothing like it in Barry County. It grinds feed just as fine as powder, and does the work rapidly, because it’s such a large, highpower machine. BRAN AND MIDDLINGS is made from Barry County wheat. We don’t use a kernel of western*wheat. The bran from western wheat has no feed value at all compared with that from Michigan wheat. That’s why the “good feeders” like the bran made here. Why don’t you try it? ’ • • ' • • Hastings Milling Phon, 281 C. k Kerr, Mgr. 482 �Only THREE DAYS MORE .

PAT DO YOU JUDGE YOUR FLOUR By The Result Of Your Baking? That’s what you ought to do. When your bakings are poor, even occasionally, you ought not to take ALL the blame yourself, but that’s what too many housewives do. ’ There is nothing th'at will “wear on a woman's nerves” any more than to know that her bakings are poor. And she ALWAYS knows when they are poor. If she should happen to be ignorant of it, there’s ALWAYS someone around to tell her about it. And that only makes matters worse. A whole lot of unhappiness and trouble is caused every year by reason of “poor baking.’ And it’s not to be wondered at either. Bread is the greatest of all foods. When the bread is heavy and soggy it is next to impossible to digest. Indigestion and poor health are SURE to result And when a man has indigestion he's a mean brute, and he will do things, and say things, that he would be ashamed of if he felt right. So there you arc. The whole thing comes right down to the ques­ tion of GOOD BREAD and GOOD BAKING. Now what KIND of flour are YOU using? There are THREE kinds, poor, medium and BEST. ' If your bakings are poor, or just medium, you know what KIND of flour you are using.. You can’t make good bread out of poor flour, any more than you can make good coffee out of quinine. But a good many women keep right on trying it. levllle. Now why not “cut out” all this “poor baking.” business by giving French’s White Jaly Flour a fair trial iust as so many housewives in Barry County have done? That’s WHY there is MORE French’s White Lily Flour used in Barry County than all other flours combined. French's White Lily is made from the very choicest grade of Mich­ igan winter wheat, which is recognized by all millers, as the very best grown for makingflour. It commands a premium in the wheat mark­ ets and it's WORTH IT. When PROPERLY MILLED it makes the BEST flour.. It makes a good rising, easily working dough, and bakes into loaves hav­ ing a rich, nutty flavor, and having an abundance of “vitality-building” gluten and phosphates. Mind you that this is when the wheat is “PROPERLY MILLED.” But that’s where almost 99 out of every 100 mills “fall down.” Some of them fail because they DON’T KNOW HOW; some because they have an eqipment from 15 to 40 years old; some because they only run 8 or 10 hours each day and then stop, allowing their machinery to cool off. French’s White Lily Flour is made with aBRAND NEW EQUIP­ MENT of machinery put in last year. We run NIGHT and DAY year in and year out. And back of it all is over 37 YEARS of success ful manufacture. WE KNOW HOW. Why don't YOU use French’s White-Lily? Middleville Roller Mills * R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor Michigan �A Pretty Broad Statement, Isn’t It? But we are ready to “show you” that Capps’ 100% Pure Wool Clothing Is The Greatest Clothing In America 100^, PURE WOOL Every pracsn frs* Hnrart I WHAT DOES if SIGNIFY TO YOU?- J That you can buy a Guaranteed Pure Wopl Suitor Overcoat for the same price you can obtain one that contains a largejper cent of cotton or shoddy? It should mean that you will use extreme care in making your selection for Fall and Winter Suits and Overcoats, and noil be led astray by a fine name, or a claim that is not backed by CAPPS actual facts. 100% . . , \ . Overcoats that mean comfort during the cold weather must not only have warmth—the old fashioned home spuns had that, —but who would want to wear ‘‘Home Spun” down town on a bright Winter Morning? No—your cold weather clothes must have more than warmth—they must have Style, Snap and Finish to give the wearer that sense of comfort and satisfaction. wiivii GRANT H.

KEEP YOUR DOLLARS Working For You The dollars that will help you to take advantage of opportun­ ities that may' come your way will be THE DOLLARS THAT YOU SAVE. Now Saving is a habit, or at least must become a habit to the ordinary person. The ordinary man must seTout with -a PURPOSE to save, must insist with himself that he w«ill save, and deliberately plan to save something from what he earns. But saving your money should be only a part of the plan which every person should adopt. The next, and for one’s lifetime, really the most important thing, is to KEEP YOUR DOLLARS EARNING SOMETHING FOR YOU. There arc so many schemes afloat these days to separate a map from bis hard earned dollars; so many that promise big returns, which promises they cannot fulfill, that it is worth while to be very careful about "what one does with his money after he saves it. The Savings Department of this Bank offers a splendid opportunity for the Safe and Profitable In­ vestment of the money you may save. We pay 3% interest, compounded semi-annually, on savings de­ posits. Your money is subject to your call at any time. And it is earning something for you all the time. The interest rate we pay is 50% higher than < is paid on government bonds. And your money is {ust as safe here as if invested in government >onds. For every dollar of it is bached by the $630,000.00 resources of tbis banK. Wc can pay no higher rate of interest and keep our funds loaned on gilt edged securities. We will notjake chances with our depositors money with questionable loans that offer high rates of interest. We know our depositors would prefer 3 per cent and feel perfectly .safe about their money to 4 or 5 per cent, and feel that we loaned it to persons or firms who were not of the highest credit. .

Our custom­ ers tell us that they can buy baked goods here that are just as good as home-baked, for LESS MONEY than they could buy the materials and do the baking, if they count their TIME at anything at all. Wc want to talk to the women folks about the “business side" of baking. ' Let any housewife take a pencil and paper, and figure -• the cost of materials, the cost of wood, coal, or gas for bak-' ing, and keep track of the TIME she actually spends in pre­ paring foods, and baking them. She will be greatly surpris­ ed at what it would amount to, even if she counted her time at the rate of as low as $1.00 a day, and there are few men, or women cither, who would from choice, stand over a red hot stove for hours at a time and do the work for any less. We use JUST AS GOOD, and JUST AS PURE, and JUST AS CLEAN, materials as the housewife will. We put them together just as cleanly, and bake them JUST AS GOOD.

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 adver'Miotments 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.

It is made from the BEST Michigan wheat, and Michigan wheat commands a premium in the markets for its flour-making qualities. Within the past few years there has been a wonderful im­ provement in flour-making machinery that adds greatly to the quality of the flour. It cost us thousands and thousands of dollars to throw out our old equipment of machinery, and replace itwdth tfie very latest models, but it was well WORTH THE MONEY.

Now Saving is a habit, or at least must become a habit to the ordinary person. The ordinary man must set out with - ^ PURPOSE to save, must insist with himself that he will save, and deliberate]y*plan to save something from wbat he eaths. But saving your money should be only a part of the plan which every person should adopt. The next, and for one’s lifetime, really the most important thing, is to KEEP YOUR DOLLARS EARNING SOMETHING FOR YOU. There are so manyschcmes afloat these days to separate a man from his hard earned dollars; so many that promise big returns, which promises they cannot fulfill, that it is worth while to be very careful about what • one does with his money after he saves it. The Savings Department of this Bank* offers a splendid opportunity for the Safe and Profitable In­ vestment of the money you may save. We pay 3% interest, compounded semi-annually* on savings de­ posits. Your money is subject'to your call at any time. And it is earning something for you all the time. The interest rate we pay is 50%> higher than is paid oh government bonds. And your money is ~ Just as safe here a®. If invested in government bonds. For* every dollar of it is bached by the 9630,000.00 resources of this bank. We can pay no higher rate of interest and keep our funds loaned oh gilt edged securities. We will not take chances with our . depositors money with questionable loans that offer high rates of interest. We know our depositors would prefer 3 per cent and feel perfectly safe about their money to 4 or 5 per cent, and feel that we loaned it to persons or firms who were not of the highest credit. .

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 tl^y were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale adver­ tisements 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. They w»rc present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared to bid. . . The Larger The Crowd, the Livelier Ihe Bidding—-Always. THE BANNER’S METHOD of advertising Auction Salas has boon endorsed 1st—By the State Association of Auctioneers. ' • • and—By all the leading Auctioneers of Barry County. .3rd—By all Auctioneers in other Counties where.the same method has been pursued. Any printing office can print auction sale bills, but only a paper having a large general circulation, such as the BANNER has can successfully advertise an auction sale that will bring results. The BANNER is now printing 5,200 papers each week and covers the County “like a blanket." We would be pleased to hear from anyone contemplating having an Auc­ tion Sale and we will mail them one of our booklets, containing 16 pages of" information and suggestions on conducting an Auction Sale. You should not fail to secure one of these booklets if you contemplate holding a sale.. Its suggestions will mean larger and better results from your sale.

If you’ll call here before you buy your Chnjbtmas presents you’ll solve that perplexing problem of “what to get for Christmas,’’ in a "jiffy?* I have the largest, best and most up to date line you ever have seen, and prices are very reasonable. Here are a only a few suggestions. • w ' George M. Newton C. T. CARROLL ■AMIAS’ 16® French’s wlVLtye Flour IS THE BEST FLOUR YOUR MONEY CAN BUY BUT IT DON’T COST YOU ANY MORE If we do not run our mill under the most favorable conditions we could not afford to sell FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR for the same price charged for other flours not as good. As it is,’ every user of French’s White Lily gets a HIGH GRADE flour at the same cost as an inferior flour. We have “manufacturing advantages" in making flour^that you will find in VERY, VERY FEW, if ANY, other places in this whole country. It enables us to turn out a SUPERIOR QUAL­ ITY of flour at a cost so low that we can afford to sell French’s White Lily flour at the same price charged for other flours. By running 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 STOPS. The question of “POWER" is a very important one in any manufacturing proposition, and is a means of large expense. We • OWN our own WATER POWER, and as long as the Thornapple river flows, we are assured of the steadiest and best power known, and at the LOWEST COST. M1JJ1 ... Middleville, Perhaps the most important element of all is the question of . EQUIPMENT. You can’t make the best flour with old, out-of­ date machinery that has been run 15 to 25 years or more. We have a brand new equipment of the latest models of flour-making machinery, all put in New last year. g The question of LIGHTING also counts. We own our own Lighting plant and run it by our own water power. _ With the best and largest mill; with a brand new equipment of machinery; with our own water power and lighting plant; and running night and day, we make a BETTER FLOUR at a LOW­ ER COST than any other mill can do/ The saving we make on the manufacturing end we use in IMPROVING the QUALITY of French’s White Lily Flour. Wa CLEAN our wheat MORE THOROUGHLY than any other mill. We put our grain through MORE PROCESSES than . ■ • ‘ . I I I other mills, and each extra process improves the Quality. That’s why French’s White Idly Flour is BETTER than oth­ er flour. That’s why everybody likes it That’s why you’ll like ' it. Why not give it a trial.

No matter HOW MUCH or HOW LITTLE you earn, you should aim to SAVE SOMETHING. The great majority of fortunes were started in a SMALL WAY by saving a little at a time. When the OPPORTUNITY came they were in a position to TAKE ADVANTAGE of it, because they had the READY MONEY. It’s a very handy thing to have money where you can GET it WHEN YOU WANT IT.’ You can t tell when misfortune may come. Sickness may visit you, or your home. You may be thrown out of employment. Any one of numerous things may happen, that will demand money. When such a time comes and you don’t have ready means to handle yourself, your outlook will be very discouraging. > FOR YOUR HAIR If you spend your money as fast as you earn, it, you'll NEVER be on “EASY STREET," you’ll never GET AHEAD. In fact you will be “GOING BACK,” because as the years advance your “EARNING POW­ ER” will DECREASE, and there'will come a time when you can’t work. SAVING MONEY is a HABIT.'

We appreciate the many kind expressions .regarding PURITY FLOUR. People are finding out that it is the BEST FLOUR MADE. It holds its moist­ ure longer, and you are not eating CRUSTS in 24 hours. That’s because PURITY FLOUR is made WHOLLY out of BARRY COUNTY WHEAT. Barry county is right in the very heart of the best wheat-growing district for flour-making there is in the world. Michigan wheat commands a PREMIUM in the markets, because it DOES make the BEST flour. Most millers mix in Spring Wheat with Michigan wheat to bring down the COST, as Spring Wheat is LESS EXPENSIVE. But we don’t use a KERNEL of any wheat but BARRY COUNTY wheat. We pay from ONE to THREE and sometimes FIVE" CENTS more per bushel for it. We’ve made Hastings one of the BEST wheat markets in Michigan. We’ve helped YOU. Why don’t YOU use PURITY FLOUR, made WHOLLY from the wheat YOU GROW’ Hastings Milling Co. Phone 283 c-A-KERR- *<gr.

MICH. ,mra, Jtwaler and Optician . H*n4«.h.«t Stock MICHI aAN C. G. Haywood, Haatiags THE REASON WHY..... e/ French’s 'mlV Flour IS THE BEST FOR YOUR MONEY In ANY manufacturing business the item of GENERAL EX­ PENSE is invariably the MOST IMPORTANT. “General Ex­ pense" includes TAXES. INSURANCE, INTEREST ON IN­ VESTMENT, INTEREST ON INDEBTEDNESS, POWER, LIGHT. BOOK-KEEPING and MANY other items of PERMA­ NENT EXPENSE incident to manufacture that you CANT GET AWAY FROM. One peculiar thing about “General Expense" is that it GOES RIGHT ON whether the mill is riinning, or whether it stands still. The FIRST thing that every manufacturer TRIES Io do is to CUT DOWN his GENERAL EXPENSE to the VERY LOWEST POS­ SIBLE NOTCH. By running our mill NIGHT and DAY, year In and year out, we have cuj our “General Expense” account to the LOWEST pos­ sible limit. By running night and day as we do, our taxes, insur­ ance, interest on investment, book-keeping and hundreds of minor expenses are NO MORE than they would be for 10 HOURS, or ONE HOUR. By hiring an extra man or two at NIGHT we get a 24-HOUR OUTPUT at a 10-HOUR COST. That'MORE than CUTS our “General Expense" account in TWO. In other words we get a 14-HOUR OUTPUT FOR NOTHING, save the bare cost of the grain. ■ We put a LOT of our SAVING on “General Expense" back into the QUALITY of the flour. It enables us to SELL French's White Lily Flour at the SAME PRICE charged for flour of INFERIOR GRADE. ... iddleville, We use the BEST Michigan Wheat. Our EQUIPMENT ia of the VERY LATEST and BEST models of machinery, put in BRAND NEW last year. We OWN our own water power and lighting plant. With our brand new equipment we CLEAN our wheat BETTER; we put our grain through MORE PROCESSES than any other mill. The result is a BETTER FLOUR which YOU BUY for the SAME MONEY. Any mill that runs only 8 or 10 HOURS a day is under the same “General Expense" that we are. Such a mill has to CROWD THROUGH all the wheat it POSSIBLY CAN to KEEP DOWN its GENERAL EXPENSE. Its sole AIM is PRODUCTION. The QUALITY of the flour must be SACRIFICED on the altar of “PRODUCTION.” And the QUALITY of ANY flour made in a mill that runs only 8 or 10 HOURS a day is still further LOWERED by reason of the STOPPING and' STARTING of the machinery. You siqiply CAN’T stop flour-making machinery 15 to 17 hours each day and make good flour. One reason WHY French’s White Lily Flour is ALWAYS THE SAME is because it is made in a mill that runs 24 HOURS EACH DAY. Our machinery is never allowed to “COOL OFF.” French’s White Lily Flour DON’T COST YOU any more than is charged for flour of inferior QUALITY, k will SAVE YOU MONEY to use French’s White Lily.

Now is the Time to Think About It The long winter evenings are here, and the evening lamp beck­ ons us cordially to the depths of the “reading chair.” The even­ ing fire invites us likewise to that choicest of luxuries—an even­ ing “at home” with GOOD reading—not the “trashy” kind, but GOOD reading. It may be a book, or a periodical, but for most people in these days it also means a newspaper. And when you get right down to “brass tacks,” everything is reducible to newspapers. Doubt­ less a better and more accurate history of the United States than has ever been written, could be compiled from the bound volumes of old newspapers. A better history of Barry County than has ever been, or ever will be, written, could be secured from the bound volumes of the BANNER, (if they could all be secured, which unfortunately they cannot). So a.good newspaper is a good HISTORY, and at the same time Affords ample diversion because of the “human interest” each is­ sue contains. The BANNER aims to record the HISTORY of Barry County each week in a GOOD, CLEAN, MORAL way, and to stand for those things it BELIEVES to be RIGHT. Newspapers have at­ . mospheres, characters and temperaments just as different men have. Therefore newspapers are different in their “tone,” their sense of fairness, their cool-headedness, their sincerity or their flippancy. rate ailk blouses, because, to be poa- Our Special Offers ent wherever people play golf or are In the habit of taking long tramps out By Acting Promptly, You Can SAVE MONEY By Ordering These Combinations country bouses are run by persons to neglect liver trouble.

The BANNER is optimistic and does’nt believe that the coun­ try is going to the “demnition bow-wows” this year, this century, or for so many centuries to come that none of its readers need be concerned. The man who sits down quietly at his own fireside, doesn’t want a shrieking, nervous sheet in his hand/any more than he wants a nervous, nagging person at his side. The BANNER we believe is AS LARGE, if not THE LARG­ EST, rural weekly newspaper as there is printed in the United States. It aims to give ALL THE NEWS from ALL parts of Barry County. The many special features it contains, several of which are or­ iginal as far as weekly newspapers go, as far as we know, lend ad­ ditional interest to the BANNER. Our Want Column, Auction Sales, Fann Department, Poultry Department, Home Depart­ ment, Good Roads Department, Stories and Miscellaneous, in ad­ dition to our regular assortment of news, make the BANNER a distinctively “HOME” paper for people of Barry County. For the accommodation and convenience of readers, we have arranged a special “clubbing list” that will offer attractions to many of our readers. If what you want is not found in this list just write us about it. Magazines and Periodicals in Clubs may be sent to separate addresses.

Of course I’ll give away all the presents I have now long before I reach Hastings. But I know that I can get anything I want at your store so I’ll make my headquarters with you again tin’s year.

Purity Flour Is The Best Flour It is made WHOLLY out of the best Barry County wheat. It is faultlessly milled with a COMPLETE equipment of ma­ chinery that is STRICTLY UP-TO-DATE in every way. . There is no better* wheat in the world for making flour than the wheat grown right here at home by Barry County folks. You certainly ought not to be afraid to eat the flour made from wheat YOU GROW. And every pound of PURITY FLOUR you use makes the market for YOUR WHEAT just so much BETTER. You will find that the bread you make from Purity Flour has a BETTER FLAVOR than bread made from other flour, and that it will HOLD ITS MOISTURE LONGER. You won’t be eating crusts in 24 hours. That’s BECAUSE we do not mix in any spring wheat with our Barry County wheat as so many mills do. Most mills put in spring wheat because spring wheat is CHEAPER and it cuts down the COST of the flour.- We don’t use a kernel of any other wheat than Barry County wheat.

Newton IM Dear W-t MNew JlWSlSF MO OptiCiM HASTINGS, MICH. Getting Down to BrassTacks ON THE “FLOUR PROPOSITION Before you BUY anything, you like to KNOW that what you buj is going to be ALL RIGHT. You do that way with most everything EXCEPTING FLOUR. Why not do it with flour? It will be an easy thing to do, and you can try it out oh any baking What wc would like to have you do is this: Get a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, and a sack of ANY other flour that is CLAIMED to be “JUST AS GOOD.” Then make a batch of bread from EACH KIND of flour and BAKE the loaves SIDE BY SIDE at the SAME TIME. Don’t be prejudiced in favor of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY, nor against it. Be FAIR to both kinds. In other words just EXPERIMENT for your own satisfaction. If we did not KNOW French’s White Lily; HOW it is made; and WHAT ikwill do, we would naturally hesitate about making such a proposition as this to floifr users. , If you will try this EXPERIMENT as we suggest, you will find that the bread you make from French’s White Lily Flour, will raise quicker, bake quicker, and SAVE YOU TIME on baking days. Youjvill also find that your bread made from French’s White Lily Flour, wilt be BETTER, LIGHTER and SWEETER than bread made from ANY OTHER FLOUR. Your French’s White Lily wiU GO FARTHER, and you will USE ALL OF IT. There won't be any waste, nor any “spoiled bakings.” In that way, it leville will be ECONOMY for you to USE it. And you can CUT DOW on your living expenses, by “cutting down” on your flour bills, bejt'eause French’s White Lily doesn’t cost YOU any more than is charged for flour of ordinary quality. French’s White Lily Flour is MADE BETTER than other flours. Our wheat is CLEANED more THOROUGHLY, and passes through 17 SETS OF ROLLS. Each set of rolls rolls the grain down FINER and FINER and removes all undesirable par* . tides, until at last it comes out a PERFECT flour. Other mills only have 6, 8 and very rarely 10 sets of rollers, because it takes TIME to put the grain through these rolls. Running only 8 or 10 hours a day, they can't afford to take the TIME to put grain through more rolls, because that would CUT DOWN each day’s PRODUCTION of flour—and PRODUCTION must be the CHIEF AIM of mills-that run only a few hours and then STOP. In ANY mill that'runs only a few hours and then STOPS, you will find that the QUALITY of the flour VARIES, because you can’t STOP flour making machinery and allow it to “COOL OFF’ without injuring the QUALITY of the flour. French’s White Lily Flour is made in a mill that runs NIGHT and DAY year in and year out, and with a brand new equipment of machinery of the LATEST ' _ models. It’s the BEST flour for YOUR MONEY and the E] *ERIMENT we suggest will PROVE it. Why not TRY it?

But the narently.healT’ I ■1 Your Winter’s Reading Now is the Time to Think About It The long winter evenings are here, and the evening lamp beck­ ons us cordially to the depths of the “reading chair.” The even­ ing fire invites us likewise to that choicest of luxuries—an even­ ing “at home” with GOOD reading—not the “trashy” kind, but GOOD reading. It may be a book, or a periodical, but for most people in these days it also means a newspaper. And when you get right down to “brass tacks,” everything is reducible to newspapers. Doubt­ less a better and more accurate history of the United States than has ever been written, could be compiled from the bound volumes of old newspapers. A better history of Barry County than has ever been, ©r ever will be, written, could be secured from the bound volutnes of the BANNER, (if they could all be secured, which unfortunately they cannot). So a good newspaper is a good HISTORY, and at the same time affords ample diversion because of the “human interest” each is­ sue contains. >,* . ■The BANNER aims to record the HISTORY of Barry County MAh week in a GOOD, CLEAN, MORAL way, and to stand for ^Bse things it BELIEVES to be RIGHT. Newspapers have at^Apheres, characters'and temperaments just as different men ■E. Therefore newspapers are different in their “tone,” their ^Ee of fairness, their cool-headedness, their sincerity or their ^^ancy. . The BANNER is optimistic and does’nt believe that the coun­ try is going to the “demnition bow-wows” this year, this century, or for so many centuries to come that none of its readers need be concerned. The man who sits down quietly at his own fireside, doesn't want a shrieking, nervous sheet in his hand, any more than he wants a nervous, nagging person at his side. The BANNER we believe is AS LARGE, if not THE LARG­ EST, rural weekly newspaper as there is printed in the United States. It aims to give ALL THE NEWS from ALL parts of Barry County. The many special features it contains, several of which are or­ iginal as far as weekly newspapers go, as far as we know, lend ad­ ditional interest to the BANNER. Our Want Column, Auction Sales, Farm Department, Poultry Department, Home Depart­ ment, Good Roads Department, Stories and Miscellaneous, in ad­ dition to our regular assortment of news, make the BANNER a distinctively “HOME” paper for people of Barry Ccppty. For the accommodation and convenience of readers, we have arranged, a special “clubbing list” that will offer attractions to many of our readers. If what you want is not found in this list just write us about it. Magazines and Periodicals in Clubs may be sent to separate addresses.

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.
