Oth­ er stores will, no doubt, advertise sales, but bear in mind this fact.—'Die Loppenthien Co. sale will have no rival among merchandising events in Central Michigan. It’s because of the high intrinsic value of its offerings and its broad, scope. . Not a department throughout die store but responds to the impulse that prompts it—tne vital need of a clearance to purge otir stocks. It isn’t a sale.for profit, but rather a sale to clear decks for the .next season’s business campaign. Added to all this, in many lines wc’vc averaged our loss by fortunate purchases from manufacturers at far less than production cost. This below, cost buying, join­ ed to our own sacrifice offerings, makes this sale that for great value giving is unexcelled among sales. Samuel Born. Kalamasoo, Mich., Nov. 17. X»I1.

COON Cob Mill, North Broadway Satisfy Yourself About The Superiority Of French’s There is ONE SURE WAY you can tell whether French’s White Lily Flour is BETTER or not. \ You just take any other brand of flour you wish. Y< make. a batch of bread from that flour, and a batch of break from French’s White Lily Flour. Put them in your oyen right SIDE BY SIDE and bake them. You will find that your bread from French’s White Lily will raise quicker, bake quicker, and the BREAD WILL BE BETTER than bread made from ANY OTHER FLOUR. WHITE Flour 17 SETS of ROLLS, where in other mills it only passes through 6 or 8 SETS of rolls. That makes the flour FINER and MORE EVEN in QUALITY. • In this whole country you will not find a mill that is prepar­ ed to give as good “flour service’’ as this mill is. This county is right in the heart of the district that grows the BEST wheat for making flour—that’s Michigan wheat, which commands a “pre­ mium’’ in the markets for its flour-making QUALITIES. We don’t have to be to the expense of “shipping in’’ this wheat. It is brought right to us. 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 EXPERIMENT we suggest will PROVE it • With our complete equipment of brand new machinery of the very latest models; with our 37 YEARS of experience in making nothing but French’s White Lily Flour; and running this big mill NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out; all these AD­ VANTAGES place us in the BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION for making flour of HIGHEST QUALITY, and selling it at the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE. At the beginning of 1912 why not put French’s White Lily Flour “to the test?” We claim that it is MADE BETTER than any other flour. Our wheat is CLEANED better, and our flour is ROLLED finer and MORE EVENLY, because we put it thrti The year 1911 users of French’s NAME for 1912? White Lily Flour.

THE REASONS FOR THIS GREAT CUT IN PRICES . , t ' * t • The warm open weathei* during the 1911 Winter Season has left us overstocked in Winter Suits, Overcoats, Sweaters, Woolen Hosiery, Underwear, Etc. SECOND; We are going to invoice Feb. first and want to reduce our stock to a minimum, to make the work of stock taking easy. We can count cash so much easier than we can count stock, that we can afford to sacrifice on this account. THIRD; Its our.aim to open up the Spring and Summer 1912 Season with a clean new stock and will not carry any goods ' over from 1911 if Low Prices and Good Values will move them. We believe its better to make this big reduction in prices NOW and stand the sacrifice than to keep the goods on our shelves from year to year and then at last sell them for about what we offer them at this sale and in many cases much less, as we all know these goods are of much more value now while they are New, Snappy, and Up-to-Date.

During the year of 1911 MORE PEOPLE did business with this bank than ever before in its history. A good many people too, 1taught sHk their children the HABIT of thrift arid economy by' open' open- aJL/ ing a SAVINGS ACCOUNT for them at this bank. We have a large number of children’s accounts on our books and it is a pleasure to watch those accounts grow, because the children of to-day. will be the merchants and business men of tomorrow. And witli habits RIGHTLY FORMED in youth, they are bound to succeed. People pre­ fer to deposit their money with this bank because the^ KNOW it is safe. We invest our funds ONLY in first class securities bearing a LOW RATE of interest. We could invest in securities bearing a higher rate of interest, but the security would be QUESTIONABLE. We regard'SAFETY and CONSERVATISM as above everything else in the conduct of this bank. That’s why people prefer to deposit their money with us. They prefer to “sleep on 3 per cent” rather than lie awake on a fraction more. We pay 3 PER CENT INTEREST on your deposits and COMPOUND the inter­ est TWICE EACH YEAR. That is BETTER than loaning your money on a mortgage because it will NET you almost as much in interest, and YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY HERE AT ANY TIME YOU WANT IT.

By all means The BANNER'S method of advertising Auction Sales has been universally endorsed by the people, of Barry County and by those living in adjoining counties who know how thoroughly the BANNER covers Barry County. We have testimonials from many of our patrons who realized from $ioo to $700 more than they expected from their Auction Sales. Why? 1st—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County, and—Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their homes at times when they have the time" and disposition to read .them. ain lirri dlng R. 1.

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. INTERIOR OF POULTRY HOUSE 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 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. Keep Warm In Winter. Moat Farm Buildings Intended for Mr. F. W.

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 saje 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 inforjnation 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.

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 accurateliistory 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 canpot). 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, MORALway, 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. The BANNER is optimistic and does’nt believe that the coun­ try is going to the “demnition bow-wows” this year, this centuiy, 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 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.

British Work Insurance. A measure nqw before the British parliament proposes national Insur­ ance against unemployment and sick­ ness. It is regarded as far more Im­ portant than tho old-ago pension law, since it affects a greater number of people, and tn most cases while they are aUll capable of work.'although temporarily incapacitated. The bill Is divided Into two parts. The first part la concerned solely with sickness and provides tor Insur­ ance against loss of health and for tho prevention and cure of sickness. The second part of tha bill deals al­ together with insurance against un­ employment Not only is provision made for compulsory Insurance against loss of health, but voluntary Insurance under certain conditions Is alio provided for. The fund for compulsory insurance ment of which would. It.la believed; give a greatly added Impetus to the Territory's various Industries. The fuel >70.000. or hla amount S17.1S0.000 Is to bo credited to gold production, against 818.188.748 for 1810. Mr. Brooks further estimates that the Alaska mines produced 32,900.000 pounds ot copper In 1811, or .more than five times the Alaska copper out­ put of 1910. which waa 4.341.180 pounda In addition to gold and cop­ per, Alaska mines and quarries in 1911 produced silver, tin. coal, marble, and gypsum to -- estimated value of 8180,­ 000, an increase of over 8200.000 as compared with the value of tho same products In 1810. Tha total value of Alaska's mineral production since mining first began In 1810 is. in round numbers. 8306.000.­ 000, ^pr more than twenty-nine times the sum pal* to Rusala for the Terri­ tory. Of this amount 8195.960,000 represents the total value of the gold production. Alaska produced Ita first copper some years ago, aince which time the Territory has contributed of thia total amount wax produced In 1811. Tha favorable showing made by the Alaska mining industry during the year la due. first, .to the very large output of copper and, second, to tho greater production, compared with 1810, of the gold placer mines in the Innoko-Idturod region.

Flour Is More Than Just “Wheat Ground Up” Every housewife KNOWS that there is a big difference in flour She knows from experience that a certain brand of flour may produce good bread one time, the next sack may produce poor bread, and the next sack even worse bread. On the other hand, she knows that a certain other brand of flour always produces the best kind of bread. She knows that it she uses the same amount of flour; prepares the dough in about the samp way; and bakes with about the same degree of heat; that she will ALWAYS have nice, white, delicious bread, that it is a del’gFit to eat. You look at these two different kinds of flour, and you will find that they both look very much alike. In fact the POORER QUAL­ ITY of flour may even LOOK better than the other. Now WHERE is the difference in these two brands of flour? We will tell you. JI is simply in the MAKING of the flour. « Don’t 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 neces­ sary. ‘ You take two men who have worked at the milling business th§ same length of time. One of them will take your wheat and con- vert it into a nice smooth, even quality of flour; the other man will only produce a POOR QUALITY. Why? He doesn’t KNOW HOW. We do KNOW HOW to make the BEST FLOUR. We’ve had 38 YEARS experience in making nothing but French’s White Lily Flour. We have learned a lot of things about making flour that you won’t find in books, but they all add to the QUALITY of French's White Laly. ' We run day and night; wc operate by water power; we have the BEST and NEWEST EQUIPMENT of machinery, to sup­ plement our 38 YEARS experience. Do you wonder, now, that French’s White Lily Flour is the BEST FLOUR made? . Do you wonder that we like to have the housewives try this experiment:—Make a batch of bread from French’s White Lily Hour, and from any other flour you choose. Bake them side by side in the SAME OVEN, at the SAME TIME. We could tell you just what the result will be, but we'U leave'it for you to find out. You’ll think more of French’s White Lily afterwards.

I ,rou,k Large Crowds «• ®raj"d Why? 1st—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County, and—Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their homes at times'when they have the time and disposition to read them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the “irrepressible ’ kid" soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where thte 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. The Larger The Crowd, the Livelier the Bidding-—Always. Agricultural Experiment Station of Pennsylvania Gives Combinations Worked Succesfully. The agricultural experiment station ot the Pennayhranla State college sug­ gests tbe following grain rations for fattening poultry, aa having been used with success by them. Whore yellow flesh is wanted, a ration ahould be oats (hulls removed) two parts; ani­ mal meal, one part Mixed with sour milk. Where a whiter flesh is want­ ed, the following rations are recoin mended. Cornmeal, two parts, ground buckwheat, two ports; ground oats, two parts. Mixed with sour milk. An­ other, barley meal, two parts; mid­ dlings, two parts, buckwheat, two parts; cornmeal, one part Mixed with sour milk Another, tho refuse from shjNulded wheat and sour milk. When bljds are qpnflnod for fatten­ ing, soup/ milk aids digestion and keeps the system from getting feverfab. If no milk ig available, some form of animal or green food must be supplied to make the best gains. Should a chicken, for any reason, get off Its food, a good plan Is to turn it out In the yard. It will usually re­ covet In a short time. Waler should bo given once a day and grit twice a week. Tbo rations should be fed rath­ er soft, about like porridge. Tho food should never remain before them from INFERTILITY OF HEN’S EGG Worth Remembering.

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, 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. 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 site 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 parte 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 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 Chibs may be sent to separate addresses.

CHIDESTER I The Story of a Bushel of Wheat As the great majority of the people of Barry County use French’s White Lily Flour, but have never visited the mill that makes it, we are sure that all will be interested in this little story of a “Bushel of, Wheat,” as it makes its way through our mill. Naturally, we cannot go into all the detail we would, like to. But as you are vitally interested in the QUALITY of the bread you eat, you will be interested in this little story, because the quality of the bread you have in your home depends upon the KIND of flour you buy. And we want to show you WHERE and HOW the manufacture of French’s White. Lily differs from other flours, and the reason WHY it is BETTER. Our “Tempering” Machines. . Our Wheat. Michigan wheat is the best wheat grown for making flour, so we are fortunate in being located in the heart of the best wheat­ growing section in this country. We Pay a “Bonus.” . ■ We always pay highest market prices for wheat. Long ago we inaugurated the policy of paying a bounty of TWO CENTS a pound for each pound a bushel of wheat tests over 60 pounds. For instance, for wheat that tests 61 lbs. to the bushel we pay TWO CENTS a bushel ABOVE regular market prices; if it test­ ed 62 lbs. we pay FOUR CENTS above market prices, and so on. In this way we get the very choicest wheat grown in Barry and adjoining counties, and there are a lot of farmers who “grow wheat” especially for us. We have paid thousand^ of dollars in bonuses to the farmers in this way. How Every Bushel of Wheat is Cleaned. Just as soon as your wheat comes to this mill it goes to a RE­ CEIVING SEPARATOR, which takes out all the “screenings," which the fanners take back home with them, for chicken feed. Then we put the wheat through TWO Milling Separators, which take out any screenings and dirt that may have been left in. The ordinary mills have only ONE of these machines but WE HAVE THREE. Then it goes to a patent “Cockle Machine” that takes out all the cockle and broken kernels from the wheat. No other mill around here has one of these “Cockle Machines.” By this time the wheat is perfectly FREE from all Cockle and foul stuff. It then goes through TWO Scouring Machines. These machines CLEAN and POLISH every KERNEL of wheat, re­ moving all “fuzz,” dust and dirt from the grain. And you would be surprised to see the amount of “fuzz” and dirt that comes from wheat that you would think was PERFECTLY CLEAN. Other mills have only one of these machines, but WE HAVE TWO. So you can see the EXTRA PAINS and EXPENSE we are. to, over what other mills are, in first GETTING THE ' WHEAT CLEAN. Other mills do not eVen remove the cockle, and you get some of it IN YOUR FLOUJU-if you use THAT From the cleaning department, the wheat goes to the “Tem­ pering” machines. In times of cold weather, such as we have been having of late, the kernels of wheat become very cold and “brittle,” and the outer covering of the grain, or the “bran,” grinds up VERY FINE—just as fine as the flour. If we didn’t “warm,” or “temper,” the wheat, you would get/a lot of finely ground bran in j our flour. To overcome this we run the wheat through machines thatiire heated by steam, and take all the chill off the grain,'reducing it to its normal temperature. ' The “Breaking” Rolls. From the “Tempering” machines the wheat goes to the “Breaking” Rolls, which break the kernels of grain. Some mills have two pairs of these-Breaking Rolls, some three pairs, and occasionally four pairs, but WE HAVE FIVE PAIRS OF BREAKING ROLLS. It stands to reason that with our FIVE PAIRS we get the LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF MIDDLINGS for PURIFICATION and therefore the LARGEST PERCENT­ AGE of HIGH GRADE FLOUR. Our “Sifters and Purifers.” From the Break Rolls the Middlings are separated on “Sifters,” and from the Sifters go to the “Purifiers for purify­ ing.” These “Purifiers” remove any dust or impurities that may have possiblv gotten Into the middlings from the “Break Rolls.” A mill of this capacity would ordinarily have from one to three Purifiers, but WE HAVE TEN, which insures the MOST PER­ FECT system of Purification, and of course ADDS just that, much to the QUALITY of the flour. Ours is a DOUBLE SYS­ TEM of Purification. , - - Our Grinding System. After the Middlings have gone through the long system of Purifiers, they go to the Grinders, passing between 10 PAIRS w large, smooth chilled iron rolls. Ordinary mills, have from 4 to 6 pairs, but WE HAVE 10 PAIRS. Now the LONGER you can CONTINUE the process of REDUCTION the BETTER will be the QUALITY' of the flour. That was the trouble with the old “stone” mill. There was only the ONE REDUCTION and it “killed” the life of the flour. With only 4 to 6 pairs of these ROLLS, or Grinders you have to CROWD the middlings through too rapidly, the Rolls become “over-heated” and the QUALITY of the flour .is injured. With our 10 PAIRS we EXTEND the operation of grinding, thereby permitting the rollers to keep “cool,” and allowing the reduction to be made GRADUALLY. The nearer you get to a GRADUAL REDUCTION of middlings, the BETTER the QUALITY of flbur. We have the GRADUAL REDUCTION SYSTEM. Our Double Sifting System. After the middlings havfe been ground* fine on these 10 Pairs of Rolls, they are “separated” on the sifters, fn the ordinary mill you will find only one sifter with six, eight, or ten sections. Wc HAVE 2 SIFTERS with 10 SECTIONS EACH. AU of our flour is “sifted” through the fine silk cloth on these TWO SIFT­ ERS. Having these TWO Sifterewe use a cloth of much FINER MESH than the ordinary mill, and that insures us a FINER and MORE UNIFORM “GRANULATION,” or QUALITY, of flour, and a removal of EVERY PARTICLE of dust and impurities in the LONG SYSTEM we have. How This Helps You. If you put some French’s White Lily Flour under the micro­ scope, you will find the particles of flour all the SAME SIZE. If you will put some other brands of flour under the microscope and look at it, you will notice that many ot the particles will be TWO or THREE TIMES AS LARGE AS OTHERS. You can under­ stand- that those LARGE PARTICLES will NOT absorb WATER OR YEAST as RAPIDLY aa the SMALL PARTICLES wilL This will cause your bread to DRY OUT. and the bread will NOT holds its MOISTURE, like bread made from flour of EVEN GRANULATION. With our ‘long system" of milling every particle of flour is of the SAME SIZE. It takes the water and veast EVENLY, it BAKES EVENLY, and your bread is ALWAYS the same. That’s why housewives have come to KNOW that they can always DEPEND upon French’s White Lily Flour. • Don't Take Our Word for It. but PROVE IT-FOR YOURSELF. Make a batch of bread from French’s White Lily, and a hatch from any other kind that is claimed to be “just as good." Put them in the oven at the same time side by side and bake them. We KNOW what you will And, and will be glad to have you make this experiment. Why not TRY IT? Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

' 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 “humart 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 hava. Therefore newspapers are different in their “tone,” their sense of fairness, their cool-headedness, their sincerity or their flippancy. .

' • ’ 1 • Because the people of this vicinity were buying BETTER merchandise for LESS money than the actual cost value. Judging from the throngs of eager buyers who have already taken advantage of this sale, they appreciate the fact that when The Loppenthien Company Makes a statement it must be exact. Every article and every price made in our adver­ tisements is bonafide and carried out to the dot. Never in the history of the oldest inhabitants of Hastings were so many people seen in one store before. THEY CAME—THEY WENT—THEY CAME AGAIN—more eager than before, for no such bargains were ever offered to the buying public of this entire county and the many extra salespeople were literally taken off their feet by the immense crowds which swept through our establishment on the first day of the GREATEST SALE ever inaugurated in Barry <3o.

GETTING AHEAD The problem of getting ahead in this world is a matter of shaving and sav­ ing. You must shave your expendi­ tures until they are less than your income, then save the difference by putting it into the bank. Or in other words, put a part of your income into the bank regularly and live on the remainder. You do not have to sac­ rifice the comforts of living in order to save a little out of your income. It’s the idea of saving a little and saving it with system. A bank account helps you to save regularly. \ OPEN an account with the I klU Fall M Mink- Hastings National Bank ONLY NATIONAL BANK IN BARRY COUNTY Rt �THE HASTINGS BANNER.

The company dis­ persed tor their several homes feeling their hostess a royal entertainer. A jolly slelghload of people to the number of Jw#nly-flv« were royally entertained Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mra Vern Cosgrove. In the latter part of 1910 we took out Jevery one of the machinesyin our mill and dumped them on our ‘‘Junk” pile—all that we did not sell as “SEfpOND HAND." We replaced EVERY MACHINE that we took out, with the very LATEST, BEST, and most UP-TO-DATE models that money could buy. We “stripped” our big mill fron/basement to roof, and put in an entire NEW outfit. All of Qur new machines are now thoroughly adjusted, and doing better work to-day than ever before’. As a result French’s White Lily Flour is BETTER to­ day than it ever was in its history. We clean our wheat better; we put it through more processes; we get MORE of the pure .“meat" of the grain; we ROLL it finer and that makes the flour of more EVEN QUALITY. 4t absorbs the yeast and water more thoroughly, and bakes more evenly. That’s why you will find French’s White Lily Flour BETTER than any .oth­ er flour. ’ It is made with a brand new equipment of the BEST machinery made, and is the result of 38 years of successful manufacture. Now’ all we ask you to do is to TRY IT. It won’t be necessary to buy a large amount of it. - Just get a SACK. Then get a sack of any other flour that is claimed to be “just as good." Make a batch of bread from both kinds of flour. Put them in your oven right side by side, and bake them at the SAME TIME. If you will do this you will settle the bread and hour question for yourself. We know what the result will be, because we KNOW what French's White Lily Flour will do. There is MORE French’s White Lily Flour used in Barry County than all other flours combined. Every’Grocer and every Elevator in Barry County handles it. Why not give it a fair trial. . WI'NT RALTlMCmE. , WJU'Toblaa Is running his satv mill ; near Hastings. Fred Wright is help­ Ing him.

Our active connection with large banks in the financial centers of this country and our extensive banking acquaintance enable us to offer exceptional facilities and service to all who desire an active bank connection, or who are seeking an investment for their funds. Our Savings Department Is a great accommodation to all who wish to open a Savings Account. We pay 3 per cent on savings deposits. It is con­ ceded that no bank can afford to pay more than 3 per cent and loan its funds on the best securities, or to firms of the highest credits. And we would not do anything else with the trust funds of our depositors than to loan them on UNQUESTION­ ED SECURITY. And 3 per cent is all any bank can afford to pay and do that. The best banking authorities of the country are agreed on that proposition. We’will be glad to serve you through our Savings Department, if you would rathe( take 3 per cent interest,'compounded semi-annually, and feel safe rather than a higher rate, which banking authorities are agreed re­ quires taking more chances with your money than good safe banking will allow.

Problems arise because 1 ot development and because schools I have been moving, problems are the : outgrowth. The tendency has been I away from tho formal toward the : practical from cultural subjects to the ! practical. Manual Training. Domestic Science and tho like. Perhaps the : pendulum has swung too far In that direction. Three per cent ot the stu­ dents are deficient, not imbeciles but not students. Impossible to keep up with their grades in their studies but among the best In work with their hands, they ought to bo dealt with by themselves, separated out and made Into useful cHlxens, while they come to feel entirely out of tunc when kept with tho rest of tho children. One third of the students are retarded, that Is. basing calculations on the child starling first grade al S, second at 7. etc.: by retarded meaning at least one year behind their grade. Mr. Umgmsn raised tho question, should the supernormal child bo held back doing leas work than ho is capable of?

On February to,' at a special election the citUena ot Hastings will have an opportunity to express their views up­ on a plan for solving the space prob­ lem in the city schools. At a special publlo meeting held In the qpurt room on Wednesday evening, W. W. Potter, on behalf of the board ot education, submitted to the publlo five plans tor meeting the serious problem which has been confronting the board for some time. The plana wars *■ follows: (I). To dismantle the old building, and to erect a new high echool buildsouth* ot the school grounds and. to erect thereon a new building. (»). To secure a alto in the neigh­ borhood of the grounds' at a cost of from 110,008 to 120,000. (4). To build a fourth ward- bulld- buildings. " < 15). To build aJhlgh school building /If- the school grounds, north ot the present Union schfiol building. After considerable discussion, the audience expressed themselves favor­ able to two plans; the building of ad­ dition rooms upon the present ward buildings, and to erect a new high school building, on the echool grounds, fronting Walnut street.

You expect it will last you for-somc time, and will do the work you expect. You have aboyt so much money tBat you want to invest in one uni! want to get the BEST you possibly can for it. Now WHICH ONE is the best? Flanders ‘'20" Touring Car S800 F. 0, 0. Detroit Flanders "20" Foredoor Roadster S750 F. 0. B. Detroit The Flanders line fqr 1912 includes FIVE MODELS built on lhe one chassis. The touring car is a handsome, straight line, smart appearing car. which you will sec very frequently on the streets'and roads everywhere. \ The Foredoor Roadster is of very comfortable design and has been very popular, .All good cars arc very .similar in their elementary design to-day./ ou look nt one car and to all appearances it LOOKS as good.as any other car that is- TO LOOK AT. Now WHERE IS the difference r The DIFFERENCE is in the QUALITY and in that won­ derful question of ENDURANCE and RELIABII.TY, which is deeper than any appearance. The great Studebaker Corporation is back of these cars, wi/fi its almost unlimited wealth. The same business policy (hat has made, the name of “Studebaker” known all over the world iii the wagon business, is .back of E. M. F. 30 and blunders 20 Automobiles. It is a business policy, backed by persistent, honest effort to give the people the "BEST*' value for their money." ^'oil’ll find it stamped'all over these machines, not. in gilded letters, but in "WEAR," ■ Buying an Automobile certainly should he no gamble. The one great reason, governing what car you should buy, is WHAT HAS ’I 11 \ I CAR DONE. In hill climb­ ing; in "reliability runs," in all sorts of tests, thc'E. M.

Detroit The E-M-I* 30 has for four years' maintained itself as a car of unequalled service. It practically “sells itself." Any­ one who has ever pwned one of these machines, or had a friend who zivviicd one. knows the 'consistent service this car gives.

If you haven’t tried the “French’s White Lily” way then you have overlooked one of the best opportunities. You can SAVE MONEY by using French's White Lily Flour. In the first place it doesn’t cost you anymore per sack. It goes further than any other flour made and you will use every particle of it. There won't be apy spoiled bakings, be­ cause French’s White Lily, with our “long system” offiulfing, is CLEANER and ROLLED FINER, than any other flour. It*absorbs the water and yeast more thoroughly and it raises quicker and bakes better. You can easily tell whether this is so or not, by making a batch of bread from French’s White Lily flour, and another batch from any other flour that is claimed to be ‘‘just as good.” Put them in your oven right side by side, and bake them at the SAME TIME. You can see for yourself which bl-ead will bake the quickest and which will be the best. French’s White Lily Flour is no experiment. It has been brought up to its present state of perfection by 38 YEARS of constant thought and study. It doesn’t just “happen" to be good. It is MADE good. People have found from long experience in “actually using it,” that it is the best flour made; that it is always the same, and cart always be depended upon. They have found that it cuts down their .“flour bills” and guarantees them-the very best quality of bread everytime. The best evidence as to how the people of Barry County regard French s White Lily Flour, i* the fact that MORE of it is used in this county than all other flours combined. Every Grocer and every Elevator in this County handles it. Our best advertisers are those' who have used French’s White Lily Flour lhe longest, and to whom itjiu become a “household necessity.” Why not order a sack of French’, White Lily Flour today? It will solve your bakingtroub­ les aa it has those of thousands of others. MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN) R. T.

Morrill, Lambie & Co. decided to discontinue their Shoe business, and began looking around for some place to dispose of their whole stock in a bunch. Knowing of our large outlet for shoes and our ability to handle large quantities of shoes quick, they came to us with an offer to sell their whole stock at a great sacrifice. After several days negotiating and hammering down the price we finally closed the deal at a figure that would allow us to place them on sale at prices that would MOVE THEM QUICK. This stock is composed mostly of the well known KING QUALITY $3.50 and $4.00 Shoes. It is an established fact that the firm of Morrill, Larfibie & Co. handled nothing but high grade shoes and stood behind every pair they sold. It stands to reason that as reliable a firm as Morrill, Lambie & Co. would not sell a shoe and stand behind it unless it was first class-in every respect and worth every cent they asked for it. Here Is What We Offer Morrill, Lambie & Co’s $3.50 Shoes, Quick Clean-up Price, $2.49 Morrill^Lambie & Co’s $4.00 Shoes, Quick Clean-up Price, $2.98 A few-Odds and Ends at $1.98 per pair In connection with the above stock we have selected several hundred pairs of Women’s, Boys’ and Girls’ Shoes from our regular stock also about 50 pairs of the Brad ley $2.50 Shoes that we had not yet disposed of. These shoes'are mostly odds and ends left over from the Fall and Winter stock shoes that we dpn’t want to size up to and will not carry over until next fall We Have Cut the Prices on These Shoes So There Will be no Question About Their Selling ■Quick We advise all 'our ifriends to be quick if they would take advantage of this Quick Sale. This is to be a 10 Days Sale—there are Hundreds of pairs of Shoes to be sold—and they are going to sell Quick so we won’t guarantee you will find what you want if you don’t come the first day.

It is made from the "old fashjoned" sponge, and baked in ovens that are kept at a steady, even temperature all the time, which insures every loaf being baked just the same as every other loaf. As their dough is all mixed by machinery it insures mnch more thorough and better mixing than would be possible to do by hand. As we’mix and bake hundreds of loaves at ONE TIME, and buy our materials in such large quantities that we get them at LOWER PRICES, we are able to sell you Hastings Potato Bread for less money than you'could buy the materials and bake the bread yourself. More and more housewives arc finding that Hasting*.Potato Bread is just as good, and just as CLEAN and wholesome as they 4 bake at home, and that by buying their bread here they find that it saves them the TIME,.

Wo GUARANTEE every silo that we sell to be JUST AS WE REPRE­ SENT IT. If ANYTHING “goes wrong” you KNOW right where to FIND US. You don’t have to PAY for your Silo until .AFTER it has been DELIVERED TO YOU and YOU CAN SEE FQR YOUR­ SELF just WHAT YOU GET. There have been some Silos in Barry County sold by Agents. Many times they have GONE WRONG. The BUYERS didn’t get the kind of timber that was specified and they didn’t prove to be what the buyers BOUGHT and PAID FOR. A good many times these Agents take the notes of farmers for Silos. They turn these notes in to the Bank. So THEY GET THEIR MONEY, but BEFORE you get your . Silo from the car you have to PAA' FOR IT, and then YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING. • Buyers have gone to the Agents from whom they bought and tried to get them to “MAKE IT RIGHT.” The Agents simply stated that they were only Agents or Salesmen, and wouldn’t “MAKE GOOD.’’ Agents, as a rule only stay in one field a year or so, and then go some­ where else. . . , U/C ADE UERE TH QTAV We recognize the fact that we MUST give TfL Ant ntllt IU OlAl our customers a "SQUARE DEAL”, or lose the confidence of our patrons, and a business that it has taken years to build up.

This weather is bad for tender lungs, and you can’t afford to take any risk. A simple little cold, allowed to run it’s course, of­ ten develops into Grip, or Pneumonia. Even if you recover, it may leave your lungs weak and render you more susceptible to disease afterward. This store carries' every cough syrup, or tablet advertised to cure a cold, but you will find nothing better than HEATH’S PINE & CHERRY EX­ PECTORANT. It’s made ESPECIALLY FOR US, and from ingredient^ that we KNOW are the best. We have sold thousands and thousands of bot­ tles of it, and people have come to know its virtues through experience. For those who dislike the pine tar taste we have the “Rexall Cherry Juice” that is GUARANTEED to-do-the work. Not only for Coughs Colds and the Grip have we the right remedies . prepared for the asking', but we have a full line of all remedies and as complete a stock of Drugs and Medicines as can be found in any Drug Store.

We want to thank our patrons for helping to make the month of January, just closed, the LARGEST month for ps by OVER 40 PER CENT, that we have ever had in any previous . month's business since coming here 5 years ago. In the meantime competition has been compelled to tear out old worn out machinery and build new mills to COMPETE with PURITY, ’ C / LAY ASIDE YOUR PREJUDICE and USE PURITY now. Just as a prominent farmer of this vicini­ ty did only a short time ago. He first took a 25 pound sack Just to try, then he canie and got a 50 pound sack, next he came with a whole load of wheat to exchange for PURITY FLOUR. The last time he came into our office and said; e “Mr Kerr, my wife owes you an apology for not using Purity Flour long before she did. We have better bread and pastry than WE EVER HAD BEFORE.” Why don’t YOU, Mr*. Housewife, have the same experience WITHOUT THE, APOLOGY—you can Keep the apology to yourself, but USE PURITY. PURE. FLOUR-that Is PURITY FLOUR— means a great deal to YOU and to every flour consumer. “Purity” has become a^'household word” in Barry County, and adjoining counties. Why? Because we have made it possible for EVERY FARMER to exchange a bushel of wheat for 40 POUNDS of Purity Flour. Competition has been compelled to give you 40 POUNDS of flour in exchange for a bushel of wheat, instead of 30 to 35 - pounds, as they did BEFORE WE STARTED HERE. RirC'Al mF We bsv® made the best wheat market for X-F-a-rV^Z^. you that you have ever had.' You are NOW depending on whit Purity does JT Feed Is High but when you are buying bran and middlings buy FEED MADE FROM YOUR. OWN WHEAT, grown right here in-Barry County. It comes from your own wheat^nd is BETTER thanthat shipped in from western states. Don’t bfe FOOLED, but take the word of people who KNOW. We GRIND NOTHING BUT BARRY COUNTY WHEAT. < Our Feed Grinder grinds your feed RIGHT. It’s a brand new equipment, and the largest and best in Barry County, It doesn’t HEAT your feed. Any grinder that does heat your feed takes away a certain amount of NUTRIMENT. Why not patronize the mill that you feed 313 DAYS IN THE YEAR? No “grind this week and NOT next week" for us, but WE GRIND EVERY DAY. That’s WORTH SOMETHING to YOU. k... Big Bargain Day Sat. Feb. 10 On Saturday Feb. 10 ONLY, we will EXCHANGE 42 POUNDS of Purity Flour for each bushel of good milling wheat. More than that we will sell 100 POUNDS of Purity Flour for $2.25. At this price we can only sell 100 pounds to ONE PERSON. Take advantage of these offers, they are “snaps” and will NOT SNAP again. . Hastings Milling Company Phone 283 C. A.

You must shave your expendi­ tures until they are less than your income, then save the difference by putting it into the bank. Or in other words, put a part of your income into the bank regularly and live on the remainder. You do not have to sac­ rifice the comforts of living in order to save a little out of your income. It's the idea of saving a little and saving it with system. A bank account helps yotr to save regularly. OPEN AN ACCOUNT WITH THE Hastings National Bank ONLY NATIONAL BINK IN BARRY COUNTY , ! �ffil .

You arc going to buy a machine.* You expect it will last you for some lime, and will do the work you expect. You have about so much money that you want to invest in one and want to get the BEST you possibly can for it. Now WHICH ONE is the heat? Flinders "20" Tauring Cir $800 F. 0. B. Detroit Flanders “20" Forednor Roadster $750 F. 0.8. Oetrnit The Flanders line for 1'12 includes FIVE MODEI.S built on the one. chassis. The touring car is a handsome, straight line, smart appearing car, which you ^will see very frequently on the streets and roads everywhere; . The Foredoor Roadster is of very comfortable design and has been very popular. AU good cars arc very similar in their elementary design to-day. You look and to all appearances it LOOKS as good as any other car- that is TO LOOK Now WHERE IS the difference? The DIFFERENCE is in the QUALITY and in that won­ derful question of ENDURANCE and RELIABILITY, which is deeper than any appearance. The great Studebaker Corporation is back of these cars, with" its almost unlimited wealth. The same business policy that has made the name of "Studebaker” known all over the world in the wagon business, is back of E. M. F. 30 and Flanders 20 Automobiles. It is a business policy backed by persistent, honest effort to give the people the "BEST” value for their money.” You'll find it stamped all over these machines, not in gilded letters, but in "WEAR." Buying an Automobile certainly should be no gamble. The one great reason, governing whaX car you should buy, is WHAT HAS THAT CAR DONE. In hill climb­ ing; in "reliability runs,*’ in all sorts of tests, the E. M. F. and Flanders 20 cars have provch that they were BUILT RIGHT and of the BEST MATERIALS.

It practically "sells itself.” Any­ one who has ever owned one of these machines, or had a friend who oiyncd one, knows the consistent service this car gives.

Writs for description of Candidate For Republican/ Nomi nation For Route 2 DELTON, MICH. REASONS BELOW. Why have you always been able to get more for your money at the New York Racket? Because this store buys of a House which sells exclusive to one representative in each town and makes him a PRICE on goods which retains his business. They don’t need to send out salesmen to get their one representative in each town to send in his orders. The price and quality of the goods keep them coming. How could the New York Racket build up such a largo business . in three years? Because of this exclusive House and the saving in buying, they give the people more for their money than they were used to getting. If you have not traded at the New York Racket and are skepti­ cal, compare prices which you have been paying with those of your neighbor who is trading here. We are going to New York on February 19th to replenish our stock. It will take u&no longer to buy a large quantity of each article than to buy less; besides we will get a better price by buy­ ing in quantity. For these reasons, we are going to sell every article in the store at a reduction of straight 10 per cent from the price putsoh by Mr. Sebald, the former proprietor of the New York Racket. Prices of goods were marked in plain figures, by Mr. Sebald, anofchese prices will be left exactly as he had them. Wre simply deduct 10 per cent from the total amount of your purchases. Inis applies on all sales of 10c and over. As stated, this reduction is on the entire stock and includes Dry Goods, Notions, Ladies’ and Gents' Furnishings, guaranteed Aluminum and Granne Ware, asso Shesf Hardware­ In purchasing the stock our agreement was to accept only firstclass goods. This means that what we have on hand is good stuff. It is not out of the season. It is not a reduction because the goods are now worth every cent Mr. Sebald asked for them. It is a straight 10 per cent reduction below Mr. Sebald’s price because , we see a way of making this lower price. When we go to New York City on Februap- 19th to buy, the more we need at that time the better price we will be able to secure, and in turn give you the benefit when we come back, as well as this large reduction beforq going. By selling every article in the New York Racket at 10 per cent below former price we give you a real reduction on goods " which are not out of season. All the stock we have is in good shape. We paid Mr. Sebald $9,270.65 for the goods he had in the store. This was at a price of one hundred cents x>n the dollar for all stock in first-class shape. We also purchased the Kimmins Company stock of Allegan, Mich., worth $930.85. This gives us a total stock of $10,201.50. This reduction in price commences SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10th AND CONTINUES UNTIL SATURDAY’ NIGHT, FEBRUARY 17th. ANY ARTICLE WHICH WE RUN OUT OF WE WILL PUR­ CHASE AND FURNISH TO YOU AT THIS SAME REDUC­ TION OF 10 PER CENT FROM FORMER PRICE. All you need to do is to state, between the dates above mentioned the quantity you want. This is a bona fide reduction the whole way through, and what we run short in we will furnish you at the advertised reduction and will get it quick, too. Simply leave your name and quantity desired. A saving of ten cents on each dollar may not sound like a big reduction, if compared with other reductions advertised. But when you consider that it is a straight 10 per cent reduction on every article of ten cents and above in the $10,201.50 stockof good clean goods; and is a reduction on the price which has built up a large business in three years, we believe that you will agree that it is “GOING SOME.” EVERY ARTICLE WHICH YOU PURCHASE IS GUARANTEED TO GIVE SATISFACTION, OR MONEY GLADLY AND WILLINGLY REFUNDED. •< THERE ARE NO EXAGGERATED STATEMENTS IN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. IS TRUE AND EVERY PROMISE AND 'STATEMENT WILL BE.UVED UP TO. EVERY WORD ew York Racket Bert Fairchild - Aben Johnson NT FDHGET THAT THIS REDUCTION COMMENCES SATURDAY MORNING AY 10th. AND CONTINUES UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT FEBRUARY 17th. This Is Practically A rand New Flour HV Ing Mill z Only a little over a year ago, we tore out EVERY MA­ CHINE in this mill, from ‘‘basement to roof.” We RE­ PLACED each machine that we took out, with others of the VERY LATEST and BEST models. All there is that’s old about this mill is the brick walls. This gives us in reality a BRAND NEW MILL. The equipment that we threw out wa* BETTER than you will find in a great majority of the flouring mills to day. But Yankee genius, having made Wonderful improvements in flourmakingemachinery in the last few years as in everything else, we determined that nothing was too good for users of French’s Wnite Lily Flour. Before' weJnstalled this new equipment of machinery we saw just WHERE and HOW we cpuld improve the QUALITY,, with this new machinery. We Sought the BEST that money could buy. As a result, this mill is now making BETTER FLOUR than it ever made before in its history. It CLEANS the grain better; it rolls the flour FINER, so that every particle is the same. It does the work FAR BETTER than any old time model of machinery could possibly do. More than that, by putting the grain through MORE PROCESSES, it removes a lot of the dust and dirt that old machines could not do. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET TO-DAY ■II Hui We INVITE every houiewife to CONVINCE HERSELF ot this feet. Make a batch of bread from French’s White Lily, and a batch from any other flour that’s claimed to be ”ju«t as good.” Put them in the oven and bake them side by side at the same time. You can then see lor yourself. You'll And that you’ll SAVE TIME on Baiting day,, and wdl have BKfTER BREAD, if you’ll use French’s WhitoLily. .Why not order a sack of French’s White Lily Flour today? It will solve your baking troubles as it has those of thousands of others. 8 MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN R. T.

Our orders have been in for weeks in some cases, and the coal should have been here long ago, but the railroads have been so hampered by the severe and prolonged cold spell that they could not make de­ liveries. We are expecting more SOFT COAL as well as more HARD COAL every day, and are doing all we can to hurry it in. We know our- customers will appreciate the situation in which we are placed, and will understand that we arc doing our best, and that we have assurances from the'rail­ roads that our coal needs will soon be supplied, and our orders for coal, weeks old many of them, will soon be filled.

If you are one of the merchants who/have concluded that lhe day of tbe de­ livery car is here, then you will be injcrestell in this advertisement. No matter whether you are a large dealer or small, the delivery question is right up to you. Which shall it be—horse or automobile? Everything is in favor of the Delivery Car — it is FASTER, STRONGER. TIRELESS, and cheaper to operate. You will hnd that the Flanders 20 is every­ thing that a car ought to be. In it are combined the brains of two great divisions of the immense Studebaker corporation. Tbe body is the product of (he great South , Bend wdrks. where the best delivery bodies in the whole world have been made for years. "Studebaker" means the "best," and the world knows it. The chassis is the famous Flanders "20. rut it to the test anJ it will stand up. The automobile man does not live to-day who does not know that the Flan­ ders "20” is one of the best buys on the market. There s the greatest combination in the automobile world to-day—a Studebaker body and a StudebakcfFlanders chassis. You won t find such skill built into any other delivery car. DAAAKfl A stock Flanders "20 Touring Car—same chassis as ■ •5 OvGUl U the delivery car—took more than 1000 lbs. load last |Am autumn and drove 1200 miles from Seattle, Washington to Hazelton, British Col­ umbia. No automobile, or wheeled vehicle ever made the trip before. The route was over mere "apologies" for roads, and for a long distance not even a horse had ever been before. The Flanders pulled through bogs, morasses made worse by rain, .overcame the roughest forest trails and finally won. A single' break of any one part would have meant failure, and over 500 miles waa made 'on LOW GEAR. This proves that for stamina and "bull dog courage., the Flanders 20 hasn t a sup­ erior at any price. That* why during November 37% of all U. S. foreign auto­ mobile exports, and 50% of all American cars' exported to Australia and the British Isles were Studebaker cars. ■ PARTIAL SPECIFICATIONS Horsepower —SO. Transmission—Selective.

No matter how proficient a man may be in any trade, he cannot do sat­ isfactory work if he has old, out-of-date tools or machinery. It’s just the same in'making" flour. With our new and up-to-date equipment we DO make BETTER FLOUR than any other mill can possibly make that has OLD machinery. ___ We use'the “long system” in milling. It takes MORE TIME, because we clean and polish our wheat MORE THOROUGHLY; we put the grain through MANY MORE PROCESSES; we reduce it to a FINER and MORE EVEN “granulation.” For that reason it absorbs the water and yeast more evenly and uniformly than would be possible if the particles of flour VARIED in size, as they ALWAYS DO in ANY "MILL that has to CROWD through the grain to reach a certain production. experiment and CONVINCE YOURSELF—that’s the best way. ope ot the ..... veryTiefl-firmalh .S.J IU RutSlUlland, and ofier* a fine opportunity to any on* who withe* to engage in fanning.

Besides that we are still giving out a 42-piece dinner set with 8 coupons and $2.98 in cash just to advertise Purity Flour. A great many people have taken advantage of this liberal offer, and it has proven a success. Why Don’t You Get a Set? “Purity” is' the best flour in this market to­ day, and when we say the “best,” we know what w’e are talking about. It is just as white, will hold its moisture longer, and has a sweeter, nuttier taste than any other flour we know of. Flour “critics” tell us so too. Lay aside your “flour prejudice.” Just because you have used a certain brand of flour in your family for years and gotten into a “rut,” is no reason why you should not find out how much better “Purity ’ is than you think it is. Was it a success? Sure it was and most emphatically. It was a big day for us. We were not prepared for such a day and were cleans ­ ed out of every pound of Purity Flour long before night. But we took the orders just the same and we thank you for making “Bargain Day” such a splendid success. We’ll have another sometime. Don’t know just when—but sometime. Watch for it. That’s one of OUR ways of advertising. SOME mills advertise one way and some another. SOME do it in popular Magazines. SOME wholly in newspapers. SOME with fence signs. SOME in how long they have been in business. SOME in tearing out machinery from basement to roof. . i Our Feed Grinder And don't forget our brand new, high power Feed Gripder, the largest and BEST in Barry County.

Don’t take the “stuff” that is shipped in, when you can come here and get the “home product” which is much better. Our FeecLGrinder is as popular as ever.

Just Read This Over and Let Me Know What You Think The other day I was talking in the Postoffice with one of the most prominent farmers of BarryCounty, and a certain business man of Hastings. Our conversation finally drifted to “flour” and the farmer said: “MR. KERR, I think that you are a great philanthropist. The farmers ought to remember that before you came here, at certain mills, it was IMPOSSI­ BLE to EXCHANGE their wheat for flour. They had to SELL their wheat and BUY their flour. And if you figured it out, you would find that the farmers got about 30 POUNDS of flour for each BUSHEL of their wheat. And at those mills that did exchange flour for wheat, the farmers NEVER got to exceed 35 POUNDS. The farmers complained bitterly about it, but WHAT COULD THEY DO? They had to have flour, and had to stand for whatever the millers decided to give them.” / ... “When you came here and started the plan of giving 40 POUNDS of Purity Flour in exchange for a bushel of wheat, the mills that had been “holding up’’ ' the farmers were compelled to fall in line and give the same amount, which they would not have done if you had not started it.” V “Now the strange thing to me is, WHY do some farmers still continue to patronize the mills that formerly “held them up?” Your mill has SAVED the farmers of Barry County thousands of dollars, and ought to have their loyal sup­ port, first because of the excellent quality of your flour and second, because of the GREAT BENEFITS that you have conferred upon farmers.” Now there is a great big, mansion over in New York City, where it is said that you can knock at the front door and get a free Public Library. Mr. Carnegie lives there. Mr. Carnegie was one of the kind that used to give “30 pounds to the bushel," and kept it up so long that he is having trouble now in giving away his money. That was the old way of doing business. We started here with the idea of giving everyone a SQUARE DEAL, and the BEST FLOUR that any mill can make. We KNEW from long experience in the milling business, that we could give 40 POUNDS of flour in exchange for a bushel of wheat just as we always had done and leave a reason­ able profit to us for doing the business—and that was all we wanted. Now we don't intend to pose as a philanthropist. We ARE here for BUSINESS but we don’t want ALL there is in it. We are willing to DIVIDE, on the theory of “live and let live.” That’s WHY we started out by giving 40 pounds of flour in exchange for each bushel of wheat. If you will give Purity Flour a fair trial, you will find that it is the BEST flour - made. Don’t you . • think it would be the FAIR THING to USE it in your home, after what this mill has done FOR YOU? Think it over. ■ / Hastings Milling Company Phone 283 C. A. KERR., Mgr.

Morehouse&Co. DELTON. MICH. The best cooks like to use it, because they KNOW in advance just how their bakings are coming out. They KNOW that their bread, cakes, pies and pastries will be the very best, because French’s White Lily Flour is “always the same,” and that if they prepare theif bakings the same way each time, that RESULTS will always be the same. Every family likes the bread made from French’s White Lily Flour, because it is ALWAYS GOOD. It has a rich, nutty flavor that you will not find in other flours, simply because w^ put our grain through many more processes than otherjnills do. We use the “long system” in milling. That means that in­ stead of crowding the grain through one or two machines, we put it through a series of machines. In that way we make a gradual reduction. We do not “heat” any of , the machines by OVER­ CROWDING them, as ALL “short system” mills do. We keep our product COOL all the way through, and in doing so French’s White Lily retains ALL of the natural flavor of the grain, which is destroyed in most mills by “overheating," in process of manu­ facture. Now to get down to “brass tacks,” the point is right here. You are looking for ways to cut down your living expenses. If you haven’t triea the French’s White Lily way then you ha^p over­ looked the BEST opportunity. You can SAVE MONEY by using French’s White Lily Flour, as well as SAVE a lot of TIME on Baking Days. We don’t ask you to take our word for it. We would like to have you try it and see for yourself. MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS I MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN R. T.

It is in practically every case a matter of deliberate effort. The young man who expects to succeed must be ready when his day of oppor­ tunity shall come, to take advantage of it. And in practically every case to do this will require more or less READY MONEY. In these days of plentiful work at fair wages, the chance for hav­ ing ready money is open to every young man. It’s just a question of SAVING. This bank is here to assist every young man to be ready for his day of OPPORTUNITY.

ALFALFA SEED It is now well established that Alfalfa can be grown in Mich igan. It will soon be even more common than clover in this state. According to careful scientific demonstration a ton of Alfalfa has as much nutriment for stock feeding as a ton of the best winter wheat bran. It yields far larger crops than clover, does not need to be seeded again in many years, and is worth far more than clover as a feeder and enricher of the soil. We have made a careful study of the Alfalfa Seed question, having two things in mind (1) selection of clean seed; free from foul stuff and all impurities. (2) Having it come from a climate as nearly as possible like our own, so as to give the plants a better chance to stand our winters. • We have just received a large shipment of Alfalfa seed. We have had it tested by the Michigan Agricultural College, and they report that it is better than 99 per cent pure seed. Now is the time for you to buy your Alfalfa seed. We will put it away for you, and you will be sure of getting the very best quality seed when you want to sow it next spring or summer. The first shipment of Alfalfa\seed is always the best, and you will run chances of getting seed with foul stuff in it and of raising all manner of weeds if you buy after the best seed has been picked up by those who know that the first offerings are the best.

Auction sale The BANNER’S method of advertising Auction Sales has been universally endorsed by the people of Barry County and by those living in adjoining counties who know how thoroughly the BANNER covers Barry County. We have testimonials from miny of our patrons who realised from $100 to $700 more than they expected from their Auction Sales. Large Crowds 1st—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County, and—Because the Auction Sale advertisement* are read by the men in then home* at times when they have the time and disposition to read them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the date* are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the date* remembered. With the 6ld-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the "irrepressible kid" soon put them out of business. _At the very beat they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around thepUce 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 vrere 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. picture of Dotu Pedro ot Drain Philadelphia on th* day when ha took part In ihr cloafug cer*tnonlea of the Ceutrnula! «rpri*IHnn Nearly all th* Thu Larger Ths Crowd, the Livelier the Bidding—-Al way ». rounding th* city and b«*l*glng DAILY DIET AND oinn fob ruBLicATiox. lit—By the SUle AMoeillion ot Auctioneer,.

These cars are built with a single purpose. To furnis^ the most of auto­ mobile value in design, quality and everyday good service for the least of cost. The Stude­ baker Corporation is not catering to those few who buy where they can spend the most money, nor to any indiscriminate purchaser. It builds for all men who know the worth of a dollar and who are looking for the best value, dollar givdn for dollar spent, on the market. Yes, it could make cars cheaper. Others whose resqarres are smaller do so. It could make cars and sell them for much less money than others do. But what kind of a car would it offer to you then? A light fragile car to spin merrily for a time and then develop a spasm of weaknesses and lead an invalid existence until discarded. To that it will not turn its hand. Its cars are “Studebaker cars."

We have some­ thing ta say. We want men who think to listen. This is our story: The Studebaker Corporation is building E-M-F "30" and Flanders "aoj’ automobiles—building 50,000 of them this year—and selling them to men of moderate means and also of large means, but all alike in one particular. They investigate, criticize, make com­ parisons and prove the value of what they buy. They think. Years of honest dealing and skillful manufacture have given the name Studebaker a great prestige. It stands, as a fine man does, for honor and square dealing. It has become a prin­ ciple. Into every E-M-F "30” or Flanders “20” automobile built goes the reputation and in- • tegrity of that name and what it stands for. utnxlst of courtesy and I feel that the slush Indulged In, In < ->nnectlon with this matter was entirely uncalled (or. raise yon Ip the esfi pie. The fact Is win arhlch one would n«t womb wyowittitude un with In E-M-F "30** apd Flanders “20" automobiles go the highest quality steels and other ma­ terials it is possible to buy. The big mills make steel for The Steudebaker Corporation in ac­ cordance with its secret formulas. It builds practically every part of the cars in its own plants. For instance, there are 252 drop forgings in cvery'E-M-F "30," 226 in every Fland­ ers "20." You will appreciate what that means for strength. Incidentally, it means that The Studebaker Corporation has its own forge plant—it’s a wonder, too—or it couldn't afford to do it. Similarly, its foundry, its body plants, its steel stamping plant, its extensive laboratories all co-operate to give it heavy manufacturing advantages and economies. Put Studebaker honor and square dealing into the best automobile factories in the world and what must the product be? Absolutely beyond question the best automobile values you can buy. That’s what we sell you when you buy an E-M-F ”30“ or Flanders “ao.” There are no freak features in either car. Every part in their design and manufacture is used by a big majority of the best cars built. In them you buy the sum of engineering skill, standardized. Records Prove It During the past summer stock Flanders “ao” cars won: 1— World's Speedway Records i-ao miles; 2— Most important hill climbs in the country in recotd-breaking time. 3— The severest reliability runs held in the United States. Further, a stock Flanders “ao” did taBo miles pioneering between Seattle, Wash., and Hazelton, B. C., over trails where in. many places neither vehicle nor horse had been. It is a record. No other car last year approached it The E-M-F “30" won 1 st, and and 3rd places in thc Savannah Tiedman Trophy race, the only event in which it entered the car. If you are interested in'fufther details, ask any man who has driven an'E-M-F "30" or knows the car. ’ A sto^y of honest and square dealing. This is the Studebaker story. It's all true.

There is nothing in the way of food that means so much to the family-health as good, light, well-baked bread, rolls and biscuits. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour, you get a flour that is not made like other flours. We use the long system of milling. Other mills use the “short system.” The “short system” is really a “short cut” to making flour. It’s making flour in the "shortest” possible time. It is the most rapid reduction. It means “crowding” the grain through in the shortest possible time. If you are at all familiar with milling, you know that you cannot “crowd” grain through the rolls, as they have to in the “short system without “heating” the rolls. When the fine particles of flour pass through those heated, rolls, it takes the “life” out of the flour.and affects its QUALITY. ' French’s White Lily Flour is made by the Mong system” of milling. The flrain passes through many more processes. The particles of flpur are “gradualy” reduced through a series of operations, until at last there is a smooth, even granulation. If takes MORE TIME, and therefore COSTS US MORE MONEY to'make flour by the “long” system—BUT YOU GET A BETTER FLOUR, and it DOESN’T COST YOU ANY MORE than flour made by the short system. By owning our own mill, water power, lighting plant, and running day and night, year in and year out. we effect economies in manufacture that enable us to sell you a BETTER FLOUR for the SAME MONEY you would pay for an inferior grade.

Hastings, Mich. 02313190903200 The Whole Year Round I cannot fail to impress upon the minds of the farmers of Barry County, the fact that .the Syracuse high lift sulky plow is the best and most practical riding plow used on any farm in Barry County. BEST because it is adapted to any and all kinds of farms, rough, stony, smooth, sandy, hard day or sticky loam. The most PRACTICAL because 1t is light of draft, easy to operate, can be used with two or with three horses. Another thing to be thought of is the Points for this plow. They’cost only 35 cents, while the points for other riding plows cost from 40 to 65 cents. The regular price of this plow is $37.00 but I am NOT IN ANY TRUST. I make my own price and reserve, the’right to make it. Neither do I canvass and charge for TEAM USE and as this is out of season you can buy one of these plows for $35.00 for the next fevy (Uys, but this price-will be withdrawn within the n^xt 15 days. • Look after your own interests. Call at my store at once and see this plow. Last week you saw a partial list of your neighbors who are using the plow. ASK THEM.

Jt may be spite, it may be a sore spot, or a bad case of the swelled bead that actuates the mule to kick; but when in this-condition he is liable to kick anyone, even his best friend. So it is in business. There is always someone with a sore spot to tell his friends and en^* cmies all about the other fellow. He has an ax to grind and hopes to profit somewhere in the deal, even though it is nothing more than the swift kick of the mule which is his proper share of the profits. MORAL: W. G.

ALFALFA SEED It is now well established that Alfalfa can be grown in Michigan. It will soon be even more common than clover in this state. state. According to careful scientific demonstration a ton of Alfalfa has as much nutriment for stock feeding as a ton of the best winter wheat bran. It yields far larger crops than clpver, does not need to be seeded again in many years, and is worth far more than clover as a feeder and enricher of the soil. . We have made a careful study of the Alfalfa Seed question, having two things in mind (1) selection of clean seed ; free from foul stuff and all impurities. (2) Having it come from a climate as nearly as possible like our own, so as to give the plants a better chance to stand our winters. We have iust received a large shipment of Alfalfa seed. We have had it tested by thc Michigan Agricultural College, and they report that it is better than 99 per cent pure seed. Now is the time for you to buy your Alfalfa seed. We will put it away for you, and you will bze sure of getting thc very best quality seedjvhen you want to sow it^ext spring or summer. The first shipment of Alfalfa seed is always the best, and you will run chances of getting seed with foul stuff in it and of raising all manner of weeds if you buy after the best seed has been picked up by those who know that the first offerings are the best.

We feel that the "good will” of those who have so long demand­ ed French’s White Lily in preference to all others is OUR BEST ASSET, and that no expense on our part is too great to seek to MERIT their continued confidence. , There are flours and flours on the market. You simply "pay your money and take your choice." There’s th«-ldnd that’s put up in a "pretty sack” that is made to "SELL” the BUYER. It wasn't made to USE. If you buy that kind you are certain to hav^ failures on "baking days." Then there’s the flour that’s simply “wheat ground up." There’s no skill in the manufacture; there’s nothing back of it to commend it to the continued use of the housewife. It’s made in mills-where the manufacturers MUST shove through a certain number of bushels of wheat every 8 or 10 hours in order that the manufacturer may pay rent and running expenses, and n}akc a profit. It’s the kind that’s dude in ALL mills that run only 8 or io hours a day. Such flour isn’t FINISHED, because the mills are lacking in np^todate equipment. And even if they had the equipment, they could not afford to put the grain through all the processes it should be put through and pay expenses. It takes TIME to FINISH flour, and such mills are PUSHED for “TIME” to get out "PRODUCTION,” which they must have in order to pay EXPENSES. And the flour made in such mills is NOT of EVEN .QUALITY. The quality simply can NOT be smooth and even where the 'machinery stands IDLE 14 to 16 hours out of every 34, and is permitted to "cool off” before starting up again. Then there’s the BEST—French's White Lily. It isn’t put up in any expensive, gaudy sack—just a neat, plain one. We don’t blow ourselves on “sacks" to attract customers. We DO spend every cent we possibly can, to make the FLOUR that goes into bur sacks, the very BEST it can possibly Bbe made. Last year we spent thousands and thousands of dollars for a brand "new equipment of the very latest models of machinery, NOT to make more flour, but to make BETTER flour, . Therefore we clean our wheat BETTER, and we put our grain through MANY more processes than other mills do. It insures the users of French's White Lily a CLEANER, PURER, BETTER flour than ANY OTHER, but we DON’T CHARGE YOU ANY MORE. Why not try a sack and SEE FOR YOURSELF.

Every man who is in his “earning years" should hold before himself the ideal of “get­ ting ahead.” This is particularly true of the young man. He can never get ahead Expend­ ing all the money he earns. He must save something from his income in a way that will lead him to acquire the “Saving Habit.” With that habit well established nothing can stand in the way of his success in life. When oppor­ tunity to branch out into something that will produce a larger income shall arrive the man with the Saving Habit is ready for it.

MONUMENTS AND MARKERS PHONE 197 HASTINGS WEEK BARGAIN Commencing Monday, March 11 . I am the originator of SPECIAL SALE DAYS on Farm Implements, Wire Fencing, Asphalt Roofing, etc. and it is with pleasure that I announce a SPECIAL SALE WEEK to begin Monday, March 11 and will positively CLOSE SATUR­ DAY NIGHT, MARCH 16. It is unusual to start such a sale right at the opening of the season when such goods will be in greatest demand, but I believe such sales to be profitable and pleasant—profitable to the farmer and pleasant for the dealer. Not that a dealer can afford to sell his goods at all times as LOW as I do on these special SALE DAYS, but it brings his customers together, and shows them that he is not trying to “grasp” the earth, but is willing “to live and let live.” Here are some of the goods I shall offer, and the prices I will make for this SPECIAL SALE WEEK. And I want to say that this will be the LAST Special Sale for the Spring Season:-^/ CIPQT w*ll be WIRE FENCE, and to give everyone an equal chance, will sell at ONE nnol CENT A ROD off the REGULAR PRICE in lots of LESS than 100 rods.

BUT WE’VE DISCOVERED there is a more severe test of a product than that, and the two famous mod­ els—Flanders “ao" and E-M-F “30” have not only passed thru it successfully, but have again demon­ strated that in the minds of buyers they are today the two greatest cars in the world. , THAT TEST WAS A BAD WINTER—the most severe in the history of the U. S. Weather Bureau and in point of business in all lines, one of the most severe in a decade in many Southern and Western States. AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS all report poor business during the past four months—but say “what could you expect, when you consider crops, weather and other conditions?" WELL, TO BE FRANK—as is our wont—we didn’t ex­ pect much either. That's why The Studebaker Cors poration is so exultant over what did happen. IT ENJOYED THE GREATEST season's business in its entire history. December, xgn, was its biggest December; January was its biggest January, and this month has proven the greatest month in its entire history. - JUST CONSIDER FOR A MOMENT: In September. 191 r, it shipped 3,600 automobiles. That was a rec­ ord. But in February—just passed—it shipped 500 more cars than it did in that wonderful September. . And this is a leap-year February I 4000 cars—aaoo Flanders "20’* and 1800 E-M-F "30’s." In round figures $3,750,000 worth of automobiles in 24 working days. YET YOU’LL REMEMBER—competitors said it could never build the 50,000 automobiles it promised for 1913—well, we leave it to you. It’s a simple prob­ lem in multiplication—and popularity of the product. NOW THERE MUST BE A REASON for the reversing , of conditions. And there is—or rather are— two of _ them. tlRST: BUYERS HAVE LEARNED Iron, put ««perience that he who hesitates—puts off buying his car until the Spring season is open—cannot hope to get one of these popular models. Too many ahead of him—three customers waiting for every car that comes out of the factory in April, May, June and July. SO TARDY BUYERS HAVE HAD TO accept substi­ tutes—on the dealer's statement that they were "just as good.” AND THAT BRINGS US BACK to.what we were dis­ cussing at the beginning of this ad.—the fact that these two models have proven, more than ever before, their superiority over all others thru the hard winter* now about past. YOU SEE ANY OLD AUTOMOBILE will sell in the ■■spring rush season. That's an adage in the trade. Concerns that are hard pushed to pay their hills in the fall and winter say “just hold us over 'till March —then we can sell our product because others can’t supply the demand." IT’S FUNNY, BUT IT’S A FACT that when a man once makes up his mind he wants an automobile he’s go­ ing to have it—some kind of a car. IF HE’S LATE HE CANT hope to get a Flanders "30" or an E-M-F "30," You know that from past seas­ on’s experience. If you don't, ask any dealer—our or rivals.' So thousands of buyers have had to accept substitutes—copies, or worse still, rank experiments. And the cost of that experience has been heavy. BUT WE SAID THERE WERE TWO reasons—here is the second and the chief reason: The sterling worth of these two models as proven thru several years of the most rigorous service, — THAT IS THE CHJEF REASON why, in spite of the severe winter weather; in spite of half-crop condi­ tions in some sections; in spite of the general unset­ tled financial condition everywhere—due to presi­ dential year; in spite of the short demand of which all other makers and dealers complain—the Stude­ baker Corporation and its product has enjoyed the greatest demand and is today'doing the greatest vol­ ume of business ever done, not only in our history, but in the history of the automobile business. THE TREMENDOUS—the almost unbelievable demand for E-M-F “30" and Flanders "ao”—the popularity of these cars in the minds of buyers who know them by their past performances in the hands of neighbors and friends—has turned January into May, winter into a summer season of demand and filled the Com­ pany’s order books, while others, selling competing cars have been begging for business or subsisting on half rations.. • ' ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?—It has inspired the Stude­ baker Corporation to greater things. It encouraged the Company to try and make them still better—-if possible. 4t proves that its broad-guage policy to­ ward buyers is right—that it pays to so treat every buyer afterward that he becomes a salesman without a salary. IT IS FOUR YEARS now since the'first E-M-F "30” went to its-owrttr. Three years since the first Flan­ ders “ao” went forth from thc.factory. The "30” was a success from the first—the “bo” suffered from some infantile drawbacks from birih. Perhaps the latter received more loving care on that account. ANYWAY WE CANT TELL today which of these two great cars is really the most popular with buyers. The demand for both is vastly greater than the pos­ sible supply. Each occupies a place of its own; as shown that many persons own one of each. Each competes—in a class of its own—if you can call it ’ competition when the buyer says, "if I can't get a Flanders "ao" I may take this one;” or "Everybody that seems to know tells me to get an E-M-F "30" if I can, and if not to take a.. as second best." IF THAT IS COMPETITION then these two models compete, each in a class of its own—and each is rec­ ognised and admitted to be the greatest car—the most satisfactory under all conditions—and in first cost and low cost of maintenance, the greatest money, value it is possible to obtain or to give in an automo­ bile.

GETTING AHEAD Evety man who is in his “earning years” should hold before himself the ideal of “get­ ting ahead.” This is particularly true of the young man. He can never get ahead by spend­ ing all the money he earns. He must save something from his income in a way that will lead him to acquire the “Saving Habit.” With that habit well established nothing can stand in the way of his success in life. When oppor­ tunity to branch out into something that will produce a larger income shall arrive the man with the Saving Habit is ready for it. The careless, or slothful fellow has to miss it be­ cause he isn’t ready. . Life will have no opportunities for him except to dig along aimlessly and shiftlessly, and perhaps ioin the ne'erdo-wells who are not able to do anything much except to tell us how the govennment ought to be run.

We have testimonials from many of our patrons who realized from $100 to $700 more than they expected from thefr Auction Sales. 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 tenitory—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, foy 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 wc 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 com* prepared to bid.

Grind-Up Wheat Don’t 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 neces­ sary. You take two men who have worked at the milling business the same length of time. One of them will take your wheat and con­ vert it into a pice smooth, even quality of flour, the other man will only produce a POOR QUALITY. Why? He doesn’t KNOW HOW. ' Ibiwry housewife KNOWS that there is a big difference in flour. She knows from experience that a certain brand of flour may produce good bread one time, the next sack may produce poor bread, and the next sack even worse bread. On the other hand, she knows that a certain other brand of flour always produces the best kind of bread. She knows that if she uses the same amount of flour; prepares the dough in about the same way; and bakes with about the same degree of heat; that she will ALWAYS have nice, white, delicious bread, that^H/s a del'ght to eat. You look at these two different kinds of flour, and you will find that they both look yeiy much alike. In fact the POORER QUAL­ ITY of flour may even LOOK better than the other. Now WHERE is the difference in these two brands of flour? We will tell you. It is simply in the MAKING of the flour. ■ We do KNOW HOW to make the BEST FLOUR. We’ve had 38 YEARS experience in making nothing but French’s White Lily Flour. We have learned a lot of things about making flour that you won’t find in books, hut they all add to the QUALITY of French’s White Lily. We run day and night; we operate by water power; we have the BEST and NEWEST EQUIPMENT of machinery, to suppiviuviiiuui no x zjniik) CApvnuiLv. , Do you wonder, now, that -French’s White Lily Flour^s the BEST FLOUR made? . , , a., Do you wonder that we like to have the housewives try this Z . ...

There are 55 acres under cultivation that lay practi­ cally level. Of this, 18 acres are seeded and 21 acres plowed eady for corn. The balance of the farm, 25 acres is timber and excellent pasture. The timber has been estimated by responsible parties to be worth better than $1500. The build­ ings consist of a seven room house in good repair, basement barn 36x60, also hen house and granary. The place is well watered by a^pring, good steel windmill and tanks and water in the house. There are plenty of apples, peaches, pears, plums and all kinds of small fruit.

Our Alfalfa Seed has all been tested at the Agricultural College at Lansing and has been proven, by ACTUAL TEST, to be PURE ALFALFA SEED.

It is the best forage crop that can be grown. It is the most profitable too, be­ cause it is a SOIL BUILDER, IT HELPS THE FARM, adds value to it.

On Monday next, tho voters of Barry county will settle lbs question * for the present U-ImL H the question is lost it win be only through a lack of of Information, or worse, prejudice. It Is just such men as Louis Norton, of Maple Grove, who Intentionally, or otherwise,' his misstated tho facts and misled .^a people, that must answer for a continuation Of our miserable excuses of roads If this question Is lost at the polls. As President of the Michigan State Good Roads Association I have had other counties aside from Barry to look after and conduct the campaign, which is drawing so .close to an end. Mr. Norton seemingly has lived In Indians, not Barry county, Mldilgan. during the past few months. This I say because his principal arguments have been based upon conditions in Indiana. His Hereford friends live down there. In Indlsna the State pays no reward. The cities and villages pay noth­ ing. Tho entire cost of their roads reals on ths farmers alone.

YOU CAN TELL whether Spring wheat is used in the flour-von buy or not by the way your bread DRIES OUT- If it dries out quickly, you can know that a portion ot it at least is spring wheat flour, • If your bread does not dry Out quickly you can know that you have flour from Michigan wheat which holds it’s moisture longer.

Who. with a couple of friend#, has recently purchased the HASTINGS CRYSTAL CREAMERY COMPANY'S BUSINESS at HASTINGS, MICH­ IGAN, will operate one of the best equipped creameries in this part of the United States, and asks that the DAIRYMEN of this community give him their SUPPORT, to the extent ot at kul a (air trial, by SENDING THEIR CREAM to the CRYSTAL CREAMERY COMPANY, where they will be auuretl of absolutely HONEST WEIGHTS ahi'. ACCU­ ■ RATE TESTS. . The creamery business lias advanced to such a state of perfection through experimental work in the colleges, and by the use of modern machinery, that It Is no Imigcr profitable? except in rare eases, for the farmer to make his cream into butter at home, because it is too expensive for a small amounted butter to install these machines whi;h arc so necessary to the business, if .a high price is to be obtained for the butter. " In order to meet, the demands of the buying public, and obtain the BEST PRICES, a person must make GOOD SWEET BUTTER, free from old rancid flavors, and with the proper amount of salt and color. And in order to pay the HIGH PRICES paid by the creameries today, he must know how to incorporate the maximum amount of salt, water, and other ingredients into butter, and yet not exceed the limit set by the law intakes a man YEARS OF STUDY and PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE to gain this NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE and very few buttermakers have had the experience neccssary to take charge of a creamery and make a SUCCESS of it, which fact accounts for the MANY FAILURES in this line of business. I have never done anything but creamery work since leaving school and have worked for several of the largest and most up-to-date creameries in the United States starting at the bottom and working up to the management of three large churning plants, which position I resigned to come here, to go into business for myself. ’ Now in order to MAKE A SUCCESS of this business I njetl only the GOOD WILL and CO-OPERATION of the DAIRYMEN of this community, and WORKING TOGETH­ ER we can make this institution a VERY GREAT HELP to the community. The DAIRY BUSINESS, property handled is ver)* profitable and I know of no better advice to the peo­ ple of this section than to BUY MORE COWS until you get the very most that your land will SUPPORT or that you have TIME TO MILK. The PRICES this coming season have every prospect of being UNUSUALLY HIGH, and you will be assured of a FIRST CLASS MARKET right, here at home. We expect to.keep up the system of paying for each can of-cream delivered'to us just as soon as a check can be made out, which will be from two to four days, according to how rushed we are at the time of delivery. -This insures the DAIRYMEN against loss and many mistakes arc avoided. We invite you and your friends to VISIT OUR CREAMERY, anti see us at work, and COMPARE our equipment with that of OTHER creameries you have seen. Ask us about our METHODS and the ADVANTAGES we can offer YOU, and WHEN YOU START TO SELL CREAM THIS SPRING BRING IT TO US, and you will be more than PLEASED with the RETURNS. You can SEND vour cream to us by our route men, SHIP it direct, or BRING it to us yourself, and whenever possible stop and sec your cream testednnd learn how wc-handle your cream. JUDGE FOR YOURSELF, and don't t^ke our competi­ tors, word for it. Their opinions may be biased, and their motives more or less selfish. YOUR JUDGMENT is better than THEIRS. » - Thanking those of you who have been interested enough to read this announcement, and trusting that you will work with’ tpc to make this business of mutual benefit, we are, Yours very truly, CRYSTAL CREAMERY CO.

The best combination of these three virtues will surely pr duce the best "staple” fence. Staple Fences look, much afik Which is best? One boasts an extremely long staple and large knot. Another uses a staple less than half as long and boasts the "most compact staple tieJence” on the market. Both are wrong. How ? One puts needless cost into useless material and the other defeats economy to get bottom cost. The Lyon and Michigan fences are neither too long nor too short. ’ It is the happy medium adopted from many years of experience and world wide trade in wire fencing.

Our Alfalfa Seed has all been tested at the Agricultural College at Lansing and has been proven, by ACTUAL TEST, to be PURE ALFALFA SEED. The earlier you can buy your Alfalfa Seed the better for your crop. You will then get the cream of the. market, the purest and best seed; Later you will have to take u^iat you can get, and that will be the inferior grades, that will not test as well, and that are apt to have the seeds of weeds and foul stuff. Therefore if you are contemplating sowing Alfalfa this spring, -NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY YOUR SEED. It has been demonstrated that Alfalfa can be grown successfully in Barry County. It is the best forage crop that can he grown. It is the most profitable too, be­ cause it is a SOIL BUILDER, IT H^LPS THE FARM, adds value to it.

And, (behold, there was a great /earthquake: tor the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and caine and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and .said unto the women, Fear ye not: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was cruci­ fied. He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come, sec the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his (jisciples that he is risen from the dead; and. behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him; Io, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with felr and great- jov, and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold) Jesus met them, saying. All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and wor­ shiped him. Then said Jesus unto them. Be not afraid: go tell my breth­ ren, that they go into Gal­ ilee, and there shall they see me. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had ap­ pointed them. *\nd when they saw him, they wor­ shiped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, say­ ing, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, bap­ tizing them in the- name of the Father, and-of theSon, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things what­ soever I have comma your and, Io, I ain ... you always, even unto the end of the world Amen. tion sale on Friday April 5 at the farm known a* the Martin Tlnk'— farm. 2 mile* east of Hasting* on I County Farm road, sale to begin ten o'clock.

W. Macy. CHARLES II AND HIS DOG. . Chariw It, King of England, was a great lover of dogs, and always kept several of them about him as pets. On one oc­ casion ho was quite distracted by the disappearance of one of hie favorites. An advertise­ ment prepared by one of hie servants was posted, but It did not have the desired effect So Charles tried his band, with this 'result: . “Wo must call upon you agalfTTor a Black Dog between a Greyhound and a Spaniel, no white abqur*him only a streak on his Brest and hla Tayol a little bobbed. It is Hie Majes­ ties* owe Dog, and doubtless was stoln, for the Dog was not born nor bred In England, and would ns tar foSake hie’ Mas­ ter. Whosoever flhdee him may acquaint any at Whitohal, for the Dog was betor known at Court than those who stole him. Will they never leave ■ robbing Hie Majestyf Must he not keep a Dogf Thio Dog's place though bettor than some Imag­ ine, lo the only place which no­ body offer to bog." ' This Big Mill Runs 24 Hours Each Day Year In And Year Out If any fanner could work 34 hours a day at the same clip that he works ' 10 hours, and keep it up year in and year out, it goes without saying that he could POWER the COST of his production, because he would produce more than twice as much goods at no increase in expense. That is exactly what we are doing in this mill., By hiring an extra man at night we run this big mill 24 HOURS each day, year in and year out. Our insurance isn’t a cent more; our book-keeping and incidental expenses are not a.penny more; the interest on our investment is no more;kuir power is no more, because we own our own water power plant; our expense for'lighting is no more, because we own dur bwn lighting plant, which is run by oiir own waterpower.. /By running night and day our flour is of a more EVEN QUALITY than would be possible in ANY MILL that runs a few hours each day and then stops and allows the machinery to ‘‘cool off.” Having these natural advantages, possessed by but very few mills in this country, we have left no stone unturned to make French's White Lily Flour just as near PERFECT as the^best mechanical equipment money can buy,.can make it * We have special patented machinery for removing all cockle, broken ker­ nels of grain, and foul stuff. In ordinary brands of flour, a large portion of this foul stuff is ground up and becomes a part of the flour. We also clean and polish our wheat BETTER than other mills do, having several different processes that we put it through. And it would surprise any­ one to see the amount of dirt and fuzz that we get off of wheat that you would think was perfectly clean. All of this is done before the wheat passes to the rolls. . We put our wheat through 17 sets of rolls, each set rolling the grain down finer and finer, and removing any dirt or dust that might get in, in the process of manufacture. After passing through all these rolls the flour is sent through TWO very large “Sifters," passing through very fine-mesh silks in the operations. All o( this insures a flour of the finest and moat even grahulatioh. That’s WHY French’s White Lily Flour is BETTER. All of the "flour goodness" is taken from the grain, and it is reduced to the finest and MOST UNIFORM particles. It absorbes water and yeast evenly, bakes evenly, and is ALWAYS THE SAME. You take any other brand of flour and look at it under M microscope. You will see that many of the particles are several times as large as others. It -stands to reason that they will not absorb yeast or Water as readily as the smaller particles. The flour varies. So will the bread into which such flour is made. ■ Why not get a sack of French’s White Lily Flour, and a sack of any other flour claimed to be “just as'good." Make a Batch of bread freyn each flour, put them in your oven right side by side, and bake them. You’ll see -the difference. .It’s all in the QUALITY of the flour.

No county, in the state has better natural advantages in a dairy way than has Barry. A wealth of first class pasture lands, watered with the best of spring brooks, offer except­ ional opportunities in the way otdairying. In Wisconsin the dairy farmers have made, them* selves wealthy through dairying. The returns have been so satisfactory the price of farm lands has great* ly increased in VALUE. The experience of Wis­ consin can be easily duplicated in Barry County. If the farmers of Barry County will keep the cows I will build up an industry here that will make farming MORE PROFITABLE to them, and this in-turn will operate to increase land values here as it has in Wisconsin, Iowa and other dairying states and com­ munities. The whole proposition rests with the farmers.. I KNOW the creamery business. My whole life has been spent in LEARNING HOW. I was employed by the U. S. Government as a diary expert in the diary division of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. I fully abprechnejhat if I aucceed I MUST HAVE the assistance‘and co-operation and good will of the farm­ ers. In order to secure it I know that I must give one and all a SQUARE DEAL every time-and that’s what I will do~and will make payments promptly.

Alt* and Huold Muriel Groat, We give these figures from our books not with any idea of "boasting” but for the purpose of showing that our goods and our service are appreciated by our patrons. When we started in business for ourselves it was with the idea of buying and selling upon a small margin of profit and of selling the BEST goods thatXve could buy at the lowest possible price, depending upon a large VOLUME of business for our profit. Our policy has always been to give EVERYONE a SQUARE DEAL every time, and we never have, and*never will depart from that policy. When you buy a bushel of corn, or a ton of coal here, you get FULL WEIGHT in every instance ajnd the best QUALITY that wc are able to get. For our-own convenience and for the benefit of all who may wish to see their purchases weighed, we bought the best scales that we could buy, placed them under cover and we are always glad to haye ANYONE test our scales and see their own purchases or anyone’s else, weighed if they wished. We feel that if we can’t succeed HON ESTLY, that we DON’T DESERVE SUCCESS, and WILL NOT MEET WITH IT. We BELIEVE that doing business un this plan has won lor us the CONFIDENCE of the buying public. We appreciate this con­ fidence more than we can tell you, end know that we must have it if we continue. We. will never KNOWINGLY do one single thing to violate it. ^^\a«.aa T> .slartcil in busines* upon the theory that no V Jill* YY Cf concern could successfully retail goods UNLESS J it had the goods ON-HAND to sell.

The famous “Purina” Whole Wheat Flour is only made by one concern in this whole country.. This one firm will only allow one dealer in the smaller cities to MAKE “Purina” Whole Wheat Bread from Purina Whole Wheat Flour. • The WRAPPERS for Purina Whole Wheat Bread are TRADE-MARKED. They are the RED and WHITE checked wrappers that you have seen so many times and are called “checkerboard” wrappers. In following out our plan of establishing a first class, up-to-date Bakery in Hastings We secured exclusive right To make “Purina” Whole Wheat Bread in Hastings Purina Whole Wheat Flour is made from lhe very finest blend of wheat, rich in muscle-building and body-building gluten. It has a distinct “nutty” flavor. Physicians rccommend this f|Our for invalids, convalescents or anybody weakened from malnutrition, its a body-builder, and is easily digested. It makes the finest Whole Wheat Bread, Bisctiits, Buns, Gems, Pancakes; Pastry Grusts etc. We have never tried to “push” our Purina Whole Wheat Bread, but'since we commenced to make it the demand for it has more than TREBLED. We sell it regularly to a good many people in Hastings on account of its health-giving properties. We only make it in-5 CENT LOAVES. Its die BEST Whole Wheat Breed you can buy—AND YOU’LL LIK& IT.

THY uasan WAKT COt.VM.X and ORGANS TUNED church and Market Bt.. gold enam- Every condition is present in this mill for making flour in the BEST WAY and at the LOWEST COST. That is WHY French’s White LUy Flour it lhe LOWEST PRICED flour on the market—QUALITY consider­ ed—and we GUARANTEE EVERY SACK OF IT. You may be able to buy other flours at.as low a cost PER SACK, but you will find French’s White Lily to be far SUPERIOR in QUALITY. Peo­ ple have found thia to be true by experience, and for that reaton there is MORE French’s White Lily sold and used in Barry County than of ALL OTHER FLOURS COMBINED. People KNOW that it it the BEST VALUE for the money, and EVERY SACK is a BARGAIN at the price. Today French’s White LUy'is MUCH BETTER^than ev<r w“ fore, on account of the brand new equipment of flour-making machinery that wf put in only a little over one year ago. We threw out every tingle one of our old machines, and replaced it all with the best and most modern that money could buy. We did all this, not to make more flour, hut to make French’s White Lily a flour of BETTER QUALITY. Making all these improvements has given us practically a new mill, but the wisdom of putting in all these new machines ha^ manifested itself in the greatly increased DEMAND for French’s White Lily. We will NEVER let the question of EXPENSE stand in the way of making French’s White Lily just rUttle BETTER thatrany other flour. Your money can’t buy as GOOD a flour for the price. And when you buy it YOU RUN NO CHANCE. When you buy French’s White Lily yau get a GUAR­ ANTEED flour. Every sack you buy is GUARANTEE^ to SATISFY YOU. In case it should not please you, all you have to do is lo return it to ' your Grocer, qr elevator man, and GET YOUR MONEY fcAtK. It’s BEST friends arc those who have used it for the LONGEST TIME. WhyXnot TRY IT-the next time you order flour? Don’t accept any substitute, nor anything claimed to be JUST<AS GOOD, because it won't be. Every grocer and elevator man in Barry..Coimty handles French’s Whit? Lily. If youwant to try an interesting experiment just to convince you of the "Superiority'of French’s White LUy, just'make a batch of bread from French s White Lily,’ and a. batch from any other flour claimed to be “just as good. ’ Put both in your oven'side by side aad bake them at the same time. Give them both the "same |how,” Don’t show any partiality towards either. After you have done this you can SEE FOR YOURSELF which flour you like best. Why not try it? • ♦ • • : - I MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN R. T.

You must recognize the WISDOM of “Poor Richard’s” words. Look around you to-day, and you will see on every side, examples of men, who during their WORKING YEARS, spent their in­ comes regardless of the future. And NOW, in their declining years, they are in sore need of those comforts which should be the portion of the aged. Likewise in the same communities you will find men surrounded with PLENTY, but who started in life under much less favorable conditions than the class above mentioned. But they regu­ larly SAVED a portion of their 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.

The “OLIVER” Plow SOON PAYS FOR ITSELF Success in farming very lately gets right back to the auestkm of the right preparation of the soil to receive the seed. If the soil isn't plowed RIGHT, then the land can’t be prepared right. There’s where an Oliver plow will soon pay for itself on any farm. When you have an Oliver plow you KNOW that your plowing will be done RIGHT. There is no general purpose plow in the world that will compare with it. ft is adapted to all kinds of soil, most economical when it comes to repairs, and you can always “bank Qn it.” We’ve sold hundreds and hundreds of Oliver- Plows to farmers in Barry County and they always give the* best of satisfaction. 5ye buy a CAR LOAD of plows and repairs each year, and by buying id the large quantities wp do, we are able to sell at the lowest possible price. THE OLIVER SULKY PLOW i6 built upon the most scientific lines; Is, of the lightest draft; most easily handled, and does the BEST and CLEANEST work.

Hastings, Mich Our business for the first 3 months of 1908 was $18,387.34 Our business for the first 3 months of 1912 was $46,811.01 This means an increase of over 250% in the volume of our business in the four years. We give these figures from our books not with any idea of “boasting” b^t for the purpose of showing that our goods and our service are appreciated by our patrons. When we started in business for ourselves it was with the idea of buying and selling upon a small margin of profit and of selling the BESTeppdg that we,could buy »t the lowest pebble price,-depending upon v, raige VOLUME of business tor our profit. Our policy has always been to give EVERYQNE a SQUARE DEAL every time, and we never have, and never will depart from that policy. When you buy a bushel of corn, or a ton of coal here, you get FULL WEIGHT in every instance and the best QUALITY that we are able to get. For our own convenience and for the benefit of all'who may wish to see their purchases weighed, we bought the best scales that we could buy, placed them under cover and we are always glad to have ANYONE test our scales and see their own purchases or anyone’s else, weighed if they wished. We feel that if we can't succeed HONESTLY, that we DON'T DESERVE SUCCESS, and WILL NOT MEET WITH IT. We BELIEVE that doing business on this plan has won for us the CONFIDENCE of lhe buying public. We appreciate this con­ fidence more than we can tell you, and know that we must hase it if we continue. We will never KNOWINGLY do one single thing to violate it. T> — - 9 .

This Big Mill Is Of Interest To Every Person Who Wants The Best Bread You arc not so much concerned about WHERE your flour is made, as you are about HOW it is made. It is true of course, that when you buy French’s White Lily Flour your money stays right here in Barry County and doesn’t go outside. But like every one else when you buy flour you are look­ ing for the BEST VALUE for your MONEY just as you do when you buy clothing, shoes or anything else. We would not ask or expect 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. When you buy flour we expect you to buy on MERIT alone. But- when it comes to REAL MERIT we will be glad to have you investigate-closely. People have not done that as closely as they should for their owngood. ' If you will notice, you will find that French’s White Lily is the STANDARD by which other mill- ers judge their own product. They will tell you that it is “just as good” as French’s White Lily. It will not be as good, because it will NOT be made by a mill having such an UP-TO-DATE equipment of NEW MACHINERY. It. will not be made by a mill fiavingover 38.years of SUCCESSFUL MANU­ FACTURE be hind it. It will not be as good because it vyill not be made in a mill that runs NIGHT AND DAY year in and YEAR OUT as this mill does. You will find that other flours are INVARIABLY made in mills that only -run from 6 to 10 hours a day and then stop until the next morning, allowing the machinery to become COLD. You can’t make .GOOD EVEN flour with COLD machinery and such flour will ALWAYS vary in QUALITY. The machinery in this mill is NEVER allowed to COOL OFF. The flour is always the same even quality and you can AL­ WAYS depend upon it.

Jiwtltr nd Optklin Every Condition Is Present In This ’ Mill For Making Flour At Lowest Cost We own our own water power, with which this mill is oper­ ated. We own our own lighting plant, operated by water power, with which this mill is lighted. We have a brand new equipment of the latest models ol ma­ chinery for making flour. • We run our mill night and day, year in and year out, which GUARANTEES the smoothest and most even quality of flour that it is possible to make. We use the best Barry County wheat that is grown, as we pay Barry County farmers a prenfium on all wheat that tests over 60 pounds to the bushel. WeTiave paid farmers thousands of dollars in premiums on wheat they have brought us. The above are some of the favorable conditions surrounding the making of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR and on top of it all is an unbroken record of more than 38 years of success­ ful manufacture. . , . By hiring an extra man at night we are able to get a 24 hour output at practically a 10 hour expense. In this way we are able to make a large SAVING on the COST of manufacturing flour. But we put a large part of that SAVING back into the flour. We make1 it of far better QUAL­ ITY than the ordinary flour and still are able to sell it at as LOW A PRICE as the ordinary flour would cost by reason of our manufacturing economies. « We clean and polish our grain better, and we remove all the cockle and broken kernels, so that you do not get any of it ground up in your flour, as you do get when you buy the ordinary kind of flour. We put our wheat through more processes than any ordinary mill. We put it through at -least twice as many rolls, making an even granulation all the way through. z Of course each extra process we put our grain through COSTS US MONEY. But all the extra work we put on French’s White Lily Flour to make it BETTER than any othef flour made, is more than offset by the SAVING we make in the process of manufacture. If you have Baking day “troubles”—good bread one time and poor another—why not try French’s White Lily? You’ll find it BETTER than any other flour made, and you’ll SAVE MONEY by using it. . _ Middleville Roller Mills leville Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Go.

My competitors said: _“It is another of Townsend‘s freaks! Look; see us knock it out with pur 3-wheeled plow!” But inthese TWO YEARS without going a single rod from my door, I HAVE SOLD 85 OF THESE PLOWS. This is MORE than the combined number of all the limbertongued, crooked axle,top-over, three-wheeled plows sold out of Hast­ ings in the last two years. And now you should see these same fellows “hike” for cover. Every last one of them has some kind of a 2-wheeled plow. . . There is no task too-hard for the Syracuse High Lift Sulkey to perform. At first it sent the “Gale” down the line from the George Crabb farm. Then it plowed under both the “Gale” and the “Oliver” on the Asher Osborn farm. Then it put the Oliver” to “sleep” on the John Payne farm, this time while the Oliver Agent was fanning” his plow. . And now one firm has got another little moonshine of a plow, and he says “by gosh, this is just as good as any darned Syracuse plow ever made.” But the Syracuse keeps right on, never turning to right or left. Stony land, hard land, sticky land are a delight to the Syracuse High Lift’Sulkey, and limber-tongued, “wobbly” plows are no terror. " Farmers, call at my store and see thia plow.

We have just closed a contract with the New York Central Lines for iceing their cars at Hastings, which is proof of what that great corporation thinks of Long Lake Ice. Long Lake Ice is’of PUREST QUALITY. The lake is wholly fed by pure, living springs. The water is DEEP arid the ice we furnish our customers is taken from the deepest part of the lake. It is just as clear as crystal, and our crop this year is of extra good quality. This year we harvested a larger crop than ever before, and we are in position to look after our customers RIGHT. When you take ice of us you not only get the BEST ice, but you get the CLEANEST ice and the BEST SER­ VICE. Our ice is always drawn in a CLEAN wagon, and comes to you clean. We clean it before it leaves our ice house.

Newton Jewels/ end Optician DRNTirr IF YOU WANT THE BEST BREAD Then Use French's White Lily Flour The best physicians all agree that it would be a great deal better if people would cutout all “Knick Knacks” and eat tpore of the good, wholesome, substantial things of life. There is nothing that you can eat that will be better for you than pure, wholesome bread and butter. ' Good bread is really the foundation of all living. You take any hope where there is plenty of good bread consumed, and you will find a healthy, happy family. . Good bread can only be made from GOOD flour. It can’t be made from poor flour, though a good many people persistently try to do it,,and then wonder why their bakings are poor. The QUALITY of your bread must depend very largely upon the quality of the flour you use. You can’t get away from that fact. Making the BEST flour is our exclusive business. We have no other business. We’ve been making French’s White Lily Flour for over 38 years. Our whole thought, time and energy have been centered on that ONE THING. We have provided ourselves with a mill that for up-to-date equipment, labor-saving and time-saving devices, cannot be surpassed ip this whole country. Not one single thing that would improve the quality of French’s White Lily has been overlooked. Every modern device that- “proves itself” worthy we adopt. * We have never tried to see HOW MUCH flour we could crowd through this mill every day, but have always-aimed to see HOW GOOD a flour we could make. This has been eur policy from the start. As a result French’s White Lily Flour won a reputation for QUALITY^ The demand for it continued to increase, until we were compelled to run this mill night and day, year in and year out. In every sack of French's White Lily Flour you buy you get the benefit of our 38 YEARS of experience, besides getting a flour made by the best and most modern equipment that money can buy. In our long and close study of the flour-making4>usinsss, naturally we have discoverfid a good many little “knacks” that you don’t find in the books. In fact our most valuable > knowledge as to how to mfike the BEST FLOUR has come from that good old school of “EXPERIENCE.” You can’t buy a better flour than Fbench’s White Lily, because it isn't made. You can’t buy a flour that's anywhere near as good for the same money. - Why not try it atid judge for, yourself ? * . Middleville Roller Mills Hie < R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor.

Sell Your Cream Last Saturday wc received more cream than has been delivered to this creamery in any one tlay—for more than a year. This is remarkable since there is so little cream produced at Ihis time compared with other sea* sons. Other people arc beginning to find out the value of s Real Creamery, handled in an up-to-date manner, by men who have had sufficient training and business ex­ perience to know the Value of Honesty as well aa Econ­ omy and who are determined to demonstrate the value of a High Class Creamery to Hastings and Barry Coun­ ty dairymen. ■ Why wait two weeks fpr your pay when you can get your money here the second day after delivering the cream? No risk, no guessing at prices and everyone treated alike regardless of influence or position. Try the new firm and you will be convinced that wc arc here lo build up an industry of great value to you and" • the community. ** “The Dairymen's Friend" CRYSTAL CELEAMERY COMPANY �ios Banner. tvcry Thursday afternoon what tha people want and will have Heslinga.

They are made upon the broad principle of giving CROP RESULTS—better than other fertilizers give. Un-to-date farmers are realizing one fact above all others, and that i, that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP TAKING CROPS OFF TffEIR LAND AND PUTTING NOTHING BACK, AND KEEP UP THE FERTILITY OF THE SOIL. Homestead Fertilizers return to the soil the very elements you remove when you take off your crops. , Homestead Bone Black Fertilizer Is a big seller In this section and Is good for all crops.

You KNOW that it takes a lot of TIME, that you conld better devote to other things. You KNOW too, that it means a LOT OF HARD WORK over a red hot stove. And such work saps the STRENGTH and VITALITY of any woman. Every woman needs all the strength she has during the warm months, and she can save it iust as well as not by buying her BREAD, PIES, CAKES and BAKEDJ3OODS here. More than thst WE WILL SAVE HER MONEY on the transaction. , We can do your baking (or you CHEAPER than you can buy the materials and do your own baking. WHY ? Because we buy flour in from 100-BARREL to a FULL CAR LOAD lot.' Our last order was for a CAR LOAD of “GOLD MEDAL” FLOUR. Every woman KNOWS what “GOLD MEDAL** FLOUR is, made by the great Washburn-Crosby mills. We buy ALL materials at WHOLESALE. Therefore WE BUY' our materials at a much LOWER PRICE than any woman can, by reason of buying in such LARGE QUANTITIES. . Then wc bfike HUNDREDS of loaves of bread AT ONE TIME, whereas the housewife only bakes a very few. We can do all that work at a much LOWER COST.

GRADUATION GIFTS I SELL FOR CASH OR ON “EASY PAYMENT PLAN" George M. Newton Jesse Townsend THIS MILL SUPPLIES MUST UF BARRY COUNTY WITH ITS FLOUR In every sack of French's White Lily Flour you buy you 8et the benefit of our 38 YEARS of experience, besides getting a our made by the best and most modern equipment that money can buy. In our long and close study of the flour-making businsss, naturally we have discovered a good many little “knacks” that you don’t find in the books. In fact our most valuable knowledge as to how to make the BEST FLOUR has come from that good old school of “EXPERIENCE.” We have never tried to see HOW MUCH flour we could crowd through this mill every day, but have always aimed to see HOW GOOD a flour we could make. This has been our policy from the start. Asa result French’s White Lily Flour won a reputation for QUALITY. The demand for it continued to increase, until we were compelled to run this mill night and day, year in and year out. ■ Making the BEST floqr is our exclusive business. We have no other business. We’ve been making Frouch’s White Lily Flour for over 38 years. Our whole thought, time and energy have been centered on that ONE THING. Wc have provided ourselves with a mil! that for up-to-date equipment, labor-saving and time-saving.devices, cannot be surpassed in this whole country. Not one single thing that woult^ improve the quality of French’s White Lily has been overlooked. Every modern device that “proves itself” worthy we adopt. There is nothing that you can eat that will be better for you than pure, wholesome bread and butter. Good bread is really the foundation of all living. You take any home where there is plenty of good bread consumed, and you will find a healthy, happy family. Good bread can only be made from GOOD flour. It can’t be made from poor flour, though a good many people persistently ‘ try to do it, and then wonder why their bakings are poor. The QUALITY of your bread must depend very largely upon the quality of the flour you use. You can’t get away from that fact. There is MORE French’s White Lily Flour used in Barry County than of all other flours combined.

It is just as clear as crystal, and our crop this year is of extra good quality. This year we harvested a larger crop than ever before, and we are in position to look after our customers RIGHT. When you take ice of us you not only get the BEST ice, but you get the CLEANEST ice and the BEST SER­ VICE. Our ice is always drawn in a CLEAN wagon, and comes to you clean. We clean it before it leaves our ice house. We do not dirty up your lawn, or yard with a great patch of saw-dust. e Al 119 QEDUICF" George Covey will deliver ice for us this year the same as VfkJIw OEm.Iw V I VKmj in the past.

Memorial succeagful school Miss Jtuth What Kind of a Guarantee Have You Got ? Karl Bristol and Some manufacturers' guarantee "for Hfe." That's like a health insurance which expires when you're sick. It sounds pretty and is worth nothing. The Studebaker guarantee is full and complete. It stands for a year. You can understand that; you can bank on it. Remember, too, that a year covers the hardest part of a car's life. By the second year y<»u know how to treat it. And with a Studebaker car its life is practically a matter of fhe care you give it. Take care of it and no .limit can be named to its endurance. Beator of Kalamasoo Frank Karl Bristol !••»< » horsa from pneulist. We hear Ed.

We mention this gently because with many of our. competitors it is a tender point. Their theory too often is, HOLD UP THE OWNER. So it is common knowledge that it costs three or four times as much to buy most cars, part by part, as it would to buy them assembled. But every Studebaker । part is listed at its proportionate cost in a complete car plus but a small per* centage for handling. Studebaker Parts Price Lists are the most complete and convenient on the market. A Studebaker buyer is assured of continual fair dealing from start to finish. Come and investigate. FinaHy, How Quickly Can You Get New Parts ? Suppose they had to come a few hundreds or thousands of miles while your car lay idle. You, of* course, would have to wait. Not so with Studebaker cars. Most of our 2,000 dealers carry parts and in almost every state in the Union there are Studebaker branch houses, with full parts supplies. Thirtysix branches in all—and it requires but two or three days at the most to £et any part you need. . That name STUDEBAKER tells the whole story. It stands for square deal* ing. Rely on it. Your father did; so can you. . Don't buy a car before you see us. We'll give you the best value for your money. Write us, phone us, or call and see us. .

IT WON'T BE THICK AND HEAVY IN PLACES, AND LARGE HOLES IN OTHERS, AS IS THE CASE WITH IMPROPERLY MILLED FLOUR. AND THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF FLOUR YOU GET IN ANY MILL WITH AN OLD EQUIPMENT, OR IN ANY MILL THAT RUNS ONLY A FEW HOURS EACH DAY AND THEN STOPS. IN ABOUT NINE CASES OUT OF TEN THE WHOLE TROUBLE IS WITH THE FLOUR. IT ISNT CLEANED THOROUGHLY, AND IT ISNT ROLLED PROPERLY. ■ Y0tr CANT HAKE GOOD FLOUR BY SIMPLY "MASHING" IT BETWEEN CLUMSY STONES. NOR WORN-OUT IRON ROLLS. BUT IF YOU GO INTO MOST OF THE MILLS, YOU WILL FIND" THAT KIND OF AN EQUIPMENT. FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR IS PUT THROUGH A "SERIES” OF ROLLS. AND THEY ARE NOT JUST COMMON IRON ROLLS. THEY ARE MADE OF SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED CHILLED IRON, WHICH REVOLVE RAPIDLY AGAINST EACH OTHER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THIS MAKES EVERY PARTICLE OF FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR THE SAME SHAPE AND SIZE AND IS CALLED" EVEN GRANULATION." BEING OF THE SAME SIZE, THE SPACE BE­ TWEEN THEM IS EVEN. THE YEkST WORKS ALL THROUGH IT EVENLY. YOU WONT FIND A GREAT BIG BUNCH OF FLOUR WITH NO YEAST, AND OTHER SPOTS HEAVY AND SOGGY, WITH AN OVER-ABUNDANCE OF YEAST. ( THAT'S WHY. WHEN YOU USE FRENCH'S WHITE LILY YOUR BREAD IS ALWAYS SURE TO RISE AND WHEN THE LOAVES ARE BAKED THEY WILL ALL BE EVENLY-GRAINED, WHOLE­ SOME LOAVES—.NEVER HEAVY OR SOGGY WHEN PROPERLY KNEADED AND feAKED. WE HAVE A BRAND NEW EQUIPMENT OF THE VERY LAT­ EST MODELS OF MACHINERY PUT IN NEW LAST YEAR. WE RUN NIGHT AND DAY, YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT, AND NEVER PERJ«IT OUR MACHINERY TO "COOL OFF.” WHICH THROWS IT OUT ' OF PROPER ADJUSTMENT. WHY NOT TRY JUST A SACK OF THE FRENCH'S WHITE LILY WE ARE MAKING TODAY? IT'S BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE. IT DON'T COST YOU ANY MORE. AND EVERY SACK IS GUARAN­ TEED. z ...'Lv.ta&tiflrnmi Middleville Roller Mills Hie R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor. > Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER SECOND SECTION. THURSDAY. MAY IS, Hit. BALTIMORE center.

The only way they can show their DISAPPROVAL is by their POOR CON­ DITION. The wise feeder will make a change at once. The in­ different man will probably continue buying the inferior quality of feed just because he may possibly save a few cents a TON. - We have fed stock for a good many years, before we com­ menced running this elevator, and we are still feeding stock. Mix­ ing good feeds for all domestic animals is a “knack‘' that we learn­ ed through a long experience in the stock growing business. When you buy feed hero we will gladly give you the benefit of our ad­ vice and experience if you wish it. You don’t have to follow it unless you wish. If YOU have been in the Block feeding bulineM for any length of time, you doubtleu KNOW that there ii QUALITY in stock feed, just u there ia QUALITY in ahoea, clothing or anything else. If you buy the GOOD KIND you must expect to pay WHAT IT IS WORTH.

What Kind of a Guarantee Have You Got? Some manufacturers' guarantee “for life.” That's like a health insurance which expires when you're sick. It sounds pretty and is worth nothing. The Studebaker guarantee is full and complete. It stands for a year. You can understand that; you can bank on it. Remember, too, that a year covers the hardest part of a car’s life. By the second year you know how to treat it. And with a Studebaker car its life is practically a matter of-jhe care you give it. Take care of it and no limit can be named to its endurance. Plainwell Home Talent What Will Parts Cost You? We mention this gently because with many of our competitors it is a tender point. Their theory too often is, HOLD UP THE OWNER. So it is common knowledge that it costs three or four times as much to buy most cars, part by part, as it Would to buy them assembled. But every Studebaker part is listed at its proportionate cost in a complete car plus but a small per* centage for handling. Studebaker Parts Price Lists are the most complete and convenient on the market. A Studebaker buyer is assured of continual fair dealing from start to finish. Come and investigate. Finally, How Quickly Can You Get New Parts? Suppose they had to come a -few hundreds or thousands of miles while your car lay idle. You, of course, would have to wait. Not so with Studebaker cars. Most of our 2,000 dealers carry parts and in almost every state in the Union there are Studebaker branch houses, with full parts supplies. Thirty* six branches jn all—and it requires but two or three days at the most to get any part you need. / That name STUDEBAKER tells the whole story. It stands for square deal­ ing. Rely on it. Your father did; so can you. s Don’t buy a car before you see us. We’ll give you the best value for your money. Write us, phone us, or call and see us. ALDRICH BROTHELRS 6 CO.

Newton liwilar and Optician EVERY HOUSEWIFE KNOWS THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN FLOURS Every housewife KNOWS that there is a big difference in flour. She knows from experience that a certain brand of flour may produce good bread one time, the next sack may produce poor bread, and the next sack even worse bread. On the other hand, she knows that a certain other brand of flour always produces the best kind of bread. She knows that if she uses the same amount of flour; prepares the dough in about the samp way; and bakes with about the same degree of heat; that she will ALWAYS have nice, white, delicious bread, that it is a del’ght to eat. You look at these two different kinds of flour, and you will find that they both look very much alike. In fact the POORER QUAL­ ITY of flour may even LOOK better than the other. Now WHERE is the difference in these two brands of flour? We will tell you It is simply in the MAKING of the flour. Don’t 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 neces sary. You take two men who have worked at the milling business the same length of time. One of them will take your wheat and con­ vert it into a nice smooth, even quality of flour; the other man will only produce a POOR QUALITY. Why? He doesn’t KNOW HOW. We do KNOW HOW to make the BEST FLOUR. We’ve had 38 YEARS experience in making nothing but French’s WJute Lily Flour. We have learned a lot of things about making flour that you won’t find in books, but they all add to the QUALITY of French’s White Lily. We run day and night; we operate by water power; we have the BEST and NEWEST EQUIPMENT of machinery, to sup­ plement our 38 YEARS experience. Do you wonder, now, that French’s White Lily Flour is the BEST FLOUR made? Do you wonder that we like to have the housewives try th*8 experiment:—Make a batch of bread from Frenchs White Lily Flour, and from any other flour, you choose. Bake them side by side in the SAME OVEN, at the SAME TIME. We could tell you just what the result will be, bat we’ll leave it for you to find out. You’ll think more of French’s White Lily afterwards.

Bear this in mind when considering where to buy—and also the fact that the House of MILLER and HARRIS has sold more Pianos in this county than all other Houses combined since we have been in the business.

' ' t ■ ; AMAZING AND ALMOST INSULTING TO SEE the large number of Pianos on the American market which strive to get your attention by constantly featuring aqme one, more or leu unimportant feature, THE PERMANENCY OF THE HOUSE counts for much in your asslirance of continued satisfaction. IT IS ACTUALLY which is absolutely a trivial. wtwjrou buy a suit of clothes, you do not buy it because of some new fangled pockets or buttons.

And all pianos of worth and merit require weeks and months of an expert's time in the voicing room, where each piano is rolled into this room evet\so often and goes through the process and voicing until they have attained that beautiful, melodious, harplike tone,' And certainly pianos which are properly voiced and toned are instrument* which please the ear and retain their tone for years and-years, in service; the instrument which always pleases and the owner is always satisfied and can point to it with pride. THE A. B. CAMERON AND THE BUSH A LANE which we haw sold for a number of years are high grade instruments sold at a medium pric«. But they tit of such sweetness of tone and of such intrinsic value in their manufacture that few makes of instruments sailing at twice their price have given the satisfaction that these instruments have. A WELL-KNOWN MUSIC TEACHER OF THIS CITY has owned an A. B. Cameron instrument for years. This piano was always kept in concert pitch—the most severe of tests upon a piano. It has stood the test and they are pleased and satisfied and recommend it moat highly, Mr. C. B. Benham, former real estate dealer here, purchased an A. B. Cameron of us four years ago, says a number of expert musicians spoke of the beautiful tone and action at a musical held at his home while he resided in Kansas City. DID YOU STOP TO CONSIDER THAT A GREATER COST MUST be added to the selling price of a piano when sold by high salaried salesmen stopping at a high-priced hotel, paying a high rent for his show room, than when sold by a merchant who buys from a reliable manufacturer? IP IN THE FUTURE SOMETHING GOES WRONG with your instru­ ment purchased of the transient salesman, what then? Who are you going to take it up with? Now the fact, the plain naked truth, is that the manu­ facturers of the best grade of pianos that are sold for $350 and up are only sold through dealers. COME TO OUR STORE AND LET US EXPLAIN FURTHER THIS piano proposition, and how we can and will protect you in the future on your piano purchase.

If the plates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the “irrepressible kid” soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Saie-idvertisements 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.

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 hqar from anyone contemplating having an Auctfon Sale and we will mail them one of our booklets, containing 16 pages of information and suggestions on conducting an Auction Sale.

From our long experience m the milling business and our knowledge of HOW to make the BEST FLOUR, we were confident that people would recognize the virtues of Purity Flour just as soon as they would give it a fair trial. We first commenced by giving the people a “Square Deal,” by giving them 40 POUNDS of Purity Flour in exchange for each bushel of wheat which amount they never received before. We commenced to pay the highest market prices for wheat and have made Hastings one of the best wheat markets in Michigan. We have gradually re-modeled this mill, putting in the best machinery, and to-day we have a mill that is strictly UP-TQ-DATE in evep- way. - As a result of all this, we are now compelled to run this mill Night and Day a good part of the Ume.

WANT ADV8."------ 1 This Mill Has Special Patented Machinery For Removing “Cockle” And All Fool Stuff We have special patented machinery for removing all cockle, broken kernets of grain, and foul stuff. In ordinary brands of flour, a large portion of this foul stuff is ground up and becomes a part of the flour. We also clean and polish our wheat BETTER than other mills do, having several different processes that we put it through. And it would surprise any­ one to see the amount of dirt and fuiz that we get off of wheat that you would think was perfectly clean. All of this is done before the wheat passes to the rolls. * We put dur wheat through 17 sets of rolls, each set rolling the grain down finer and finer, and -removing any dirt or dust that might get in, in the process of manufacture. After passing through all these rolls the flour is sent through TWO very large "Sifters," passing through very fine-mesh silks in the operations. »AU of this insures a flour of the finest and most even granulation. That’s WHY French’s White Lily Flour is BETTER. All of the "flour goodness" is taken from the grain, and it is reduced to the finest and MOST UNIFORM particles. It absorbes water and yeast evenly, bakes evenly, and is ALWAYS THE SAME. . By running night and day our flour is of a more EVEN QUALITY than would be possible in A,NY MILL that runs a few hours each day and then stops and allows the machinery to “copl oft.” If any farmer could work 24 hours a day at the game clip that he works " 10 hour?, and keep it,up year in and year out. it goes without saying that he could LOWER the COST of his production, because he would produce more than twice «s much goods at no increase in expense. That is exactly what we are- doing in this mill; By hiring an extra man at night we run this big mill 34 HOURS each day, year in and year out. Our insurance isn’t a cent more; our book-keeping and incidental expenses are not a penny more; the interest on our investment is no more; our power is no more, because we own our own water power plant; our expense for lighting is no more, because we own our own lighting plant, which ia run by our own water power. ■ . ; • . Having <hn« nalural advantagaa, poaaeoed by but very few mill, in this . country, we have left no stone unturned to make French's White Lily Flour just as near PERFECT as the best mechanical equipment money can buy, can make it. You take any other brand of flour and look a| it under a microscope. You will see that many of the particle# are several times as large as others. It stands to reason that they will'not absorb yeast or water as readily as the smaller particles. The flour varied Bo will the bread into which such flour is made. * Why not get a sack of French’s White Lily Flour, an^ a sack of any other flour claimed to be “just as good.” Make a batch of bread from each flour, put them in your oven right side by side, and bake them. You 11 see the difference. It’s all in the QUALITY o! the flour. Middleville Roller Mills R. T. FRENCH, Proprietor. . Michigan �the ■4?

There is always DANGER in cleaning clothing with gasoline unless you are used to handling it, and many fatalities have occurred from its use. One quite serious accident occurred in this city within the past few days. Another feature to be considered is that when you use the ordinary gasoline it invariably leaves an ODOR which often takes some time to get rid of. We use the refined gasoline, which leaves no odor. We have the equipment necessary to do the work RIGHT. We can clean your wearing apparel, carpets, curtains, rugs, upholstered furniture, etc. much BETTER than you could POSSIBLY clean them in your own home. We have EVERY FACILITY and the man who has charge of our Cleaning Department spent YEARS inf preparation for this work and we GUARANTEE anything that he does, so you run no risk in sending your work to us. ’ . • Our wagon will call for and deliver your parcels.

But com is too valuable a <.rojHOcultivate in any other than the BEST way. Every hit of corn you SAVE is MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS. We would like to have you call anil let us show you HOW one of our up*to-the*minute CUJLT1VATORS will pay for itself many times over each season. To begin with, if you simply plant corn and “let it grow" the com will be cut down or ab­ sorbed by the weeds, so you need a cultivator. With the ordinary type of cultivator, working in corn planted in rows, the team perhaps does not keep exact­ ly over the*row. ou know.the RESULT—one wheel is breaking down a row of corn. That means LOSS to YOU. In 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 do not have room to travel. MORE CORN IS LOST. You readily see that it is worth the farmer's while to investigate the CULTIVATOR QUESTION very thoroughly. We can help out any farmer who wants to get the BEST RESULTS. We offer . . ■ The operator of tbe New Elk Jr. Automatic Cultivator doe* not raise one rig, and then raise the ether rig and balance tbe Cultivator at the end of every row; he get* rid of all that work. He simply release* tbe thumb-lstch on the balancing lever and the horse* do tbe rest. In place of three separate operations there is only one. Pulling tire balancing lever back to place lowers tbe rigs and automatically balances th* cultivator again. There Is a lever for each rig to regulate the depth of plowing. The rig* can be raised with these lever*, also without using horse-lift. With the pivoted-tongue attachment the New Elk. Jr. is readily converted to a swiveltMgue cultivator. This tnwfai attachment is placed bv simply removing tbe rest tongue casting and substrtntlng tbelttachment. *Jt is valuable in hillside work or in listed corn.

Let Us Suggest Some Of Its Good POINTS Hastings, Michigan “WE ARE HERE TO STAY” Since establishing a permanent retail branch of our factory in Hastings we have sold a great number of Pianos to the best citizeps of Hast­ ings and to whom we/gladly refer as to the re­ liability of our Pianos. The most important thing to be considered in the purchase of a. pi­ ano is not so much what the instrument is when you buy it, but what it’s worth will be after years of service. We absolutely protect each customer sold with our 10 year factory guaran­ tee and we are in a position to carry out the guarantee to the letter as weemploy only expert tuners and repair men, who look after each in­ dividual instrument sold. Mr. Fayette S. Cable, the President of the Cable-Nelson Piano Co., has been identified with the development of the piano industry for the past 30 years and the present organization of the Cable-NelSon Piano Co. is far in advance of any company with which he has been identi­ fied. The name of Cable-Nelson on the fall board of a piano stands for everything that is best in piano construction, for the Cable-Nel­ son piano is strictly high grade and has the en­ dorsement of the best musicians throughout the United States. Our policy of selling direct from our factory insures the purchaser receiv­ ing a high grade piano at a J, very reasonable price. It will pay you. to investigate before buying elsewhere.

Every acre will produce from FOUR to SIX TONS OF HAY in the THREE CUTTINGS customary in this section. The chemical analysis of a ton of bran and a ton of alfal­ fa hay is ALMOST IDENTICALLY THE SAME. Think of producing the EQUIVALENT of 4 to 6 tons of bran on each acre. June is a splendid month in which to sow alfalfa. Get your seed bed in good shape, cultivate thoroughly and keep down the weeds. Sow about 20 pounds of seed to the acre. Inoculate the ground with soil from an old alfalfa field, or sweet clover patch. Before sowing your seed put a couple of tons of ground lime-stone, or about a half ton of burned lime per acre. We sell, the Dry-Land Utah-grown alfalfa seed that has. proven to be the BEST for Michigan soil. Our seed is guar­ anteed to be 99,70 per cent PURE. Our price is $12.50 per BUSHEL. We also sell the RIGHT KIND of agricultural lime for sowing at $6.00 per TON. Come and see us. Wednesday, June 12,1912 This will be a splendid opportunity for anyone wishing to go into the breed­ ing of Holsteins to secure some good registered Holstein cattle at the buyers' own price.

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and tbe dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the ‘‘irrepressible kid” soon put them out of business. At the yery 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. Biddings 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.

Any printing office can print auction sale bills, but only a paper having a ^arge general circulation, such as the BANNER has can successfully advertise an auction sale that will bring results. The BANNER is now printing 5^00 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.

G.lUyweed, Hastiaii 11TB. Oran. St *h.n. 4. This Mill Makes Flour Of Quality Other Mills Aim Towards Quantity1 In the ordinary mill the sole aim is “QUANTITY”—to see HOW MUCH flour can beprocured in 6 or 8 HOURS. The item of “GENERAL EXPENSE’’ keeps right on “run­ ning," no matter whether the mill stops or not. “General Ex­ pense” includes all such items as taxes, rents, insurance, light, in­ terest on investment, interest on borrowed money, and a whole lot of other expenses that MUST BE PAID no matter whether the mill runs SIX HOURS or Twenty Four-Hourseacb day. . The ordinary mill does not run on an average of over six hours a day, year in and year out. Its general expense is just as much as it would be if it ran 24 hours a day. _ Naturally its aim MUST BE to see how much flour can possibly be produced in the 6 hours that it -runs, because the MORE BARRELS of flour it produces in those 6 hours the LESS its general,expense will be PER BARREL. Fpr instance if lhe general expense PER MONTH was $500, and 1000 barrels of flour were made in that month, The “general expense” would be 50 CENTS PER BAR* ■REL. But if-only 500 barrels were produced, the “general ex­ pense’'would be $1. PER BARREL. So with the mill that runs only a few hours each day, the aim must be PRODUCTION and not QUALITY. * Thus with PRODUCTION as the chief aim, no effort can be made to get flour of QUALITY like French’s White Lily Flour, because that would take too much time, and be TOO EX* PENSIVE. Jio effort is made to clean the wheat of foul stuff. The wheat is only run through one or two sets of rolls and just as rapidly as possible. There is no thought of getting the flour down to a smooth, even granulation. In the making of Flour, our aim is to produce the BEST, and to give users of French’s White Lily Flour the BEST for their •Mv.iey • money. Wc own our own mill, our own water power, our own light­ ing plant. We run this mill 24 HOURS every day, year in year out. Our “general expense” is no more than it would be if we run only 6 HOURS. We are able to SAVE a good sum on the GENERAL EXPENSE of EACH BARREL of flour we make. This SAVING is enough so that wc can put our flour through MORE PROCESSES, MAKE IT BETTER and still sell it at the same price you would pay for flour of inferior QUALITY. When you buy French’s White Lily Flour you get an article that is smooth and even all the way through* When you‘buy it you know that each sack will be just like the last sack of it you used, because it is always made in the same way and goes through all the same processes. You’ll SAVE MONEYcby buying French’s White Lily be­ cause it goes farther and you never have to throw any of it away. Your neighbors are using it. _ Why not YOU? Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

Every acre will produce from FOUR to SIX TONS OF HAY in the THREE CUTTINGS customary in this section. The chemical analysis of a tort of bran and a ton of alfal­ fa hay is ALMOST IDENTICALLY THE SAME. Think of producing the EQUIVALENT of 4 to 6 tons of bran on each acre. June is a splendid month in which to sow alfalfa. Get your seed bed in good shape, cultivate thoroughly and keep down the weeds. Sow- about 20 pounds of seed to the acre. Inoculate the ground with soil from an old alfalfa field, or sweet clover patch. Before sowing your seed put a couple of tons-of ground lime-stone, or about-a half ton of burned lime per acre. We sell the Dry-Land Utah-grown alfalfa seed that has proven to be the BEST for" Michigan soil. Our seed is guar­ anteed to be 99.70 per cent PURE. Our price is $12.50 per BUSHEL. We also sell the RIGHT KIND of agricultural lime for sowing at $6.00 per TON. Come and see us. . v EDMONDS BROS THE ELEVATOR MEN Phone 18 |w>rt Friday evening.

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 Salexdverj 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. THE BANNER'S METHOD ol advortltlng Auction Sales has boon endorsed i st—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^°° papers each week and cover* 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 then booklets if you contemplate holding a sale, Its suggestions will mean larger and better results from your sale.

Is Doing For The Farmers Off Barry Co ... We want the farmers of Barry County to KNOW, that if they will COMPARE | the prices we pay at this mill for wheat, with the prices paid in other towns, cities and counties, they will find that we PAY from ONE to 5 CENTS MORE PER BUSHEL. Now these are the FACTS:- We often pay MORE than the market prices for | wheat because we MUST HAVE WHEAT TO RUN THIS MILL. If we can’t buy wheat from the farmers We MUST buy it from elevators and dealers and ship it in. BUT WE WOULD RATHER BUY WHEAT FROM THE FARMERS and PAY THEM THE PROFIT. In proof of this, just COMPARE the prices PAID in other places LAST WEEK, as PUBLISHED in the MARKET REPORTS in the newspapers of those cities and tow ns with the prices PAID BY "" US. We ASK you to do it, and in justice to us you OUGHT to do it. City or Town HisIIhs Milling Go.

These reports were all taken from newspapers in places named, excepting Coats Grove. actually paid within 194 cants of th, DETROIT MARKET. Now Mr. Farmer Is That Q Worth Anything To You ■ Is it worth anything to YOU to get from ONE to 5 CENTS MORE PER BUSHEL for your wheat? ( Is it worth anything to you to be located close to one of the best wheat markets in Michigan? Is it worth anything to you to get from 5 to 10 POUNDS MORE FLOUR in EXCHANGE for a BUSHEL OF WHEAT than you used to get before we started in business in Hastings? You must admit Mr. Farmer that you are under obliga­ tions to this mill, no matter whether you have ever used a pound of PURITY FLOUR or not Then WHY NOT GIVE PURITY FLOUR A TRIAL? Every POUND of it is made from wheat GROWN IN BARRY COUNTY. It’s the BEST | FLOUR you can buv because it's made from the 1 BEST WHEAT THAT GROWS as far as FLOUR | MAKING QUALITIES are concerned. THE MORE PURITY FLOUR YOU USE, THE MORE OF YOUR WHEAT I MUST BUY ANU THE MORE I MUST RUN i ' THIS MILL. THE BUSIER I GAN KEEP THIS MILL THE MORE I GAN BENEFIT YOU.

At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to be he|d. As a result bpt a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worthy 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. « THE BANNER'S METHOD of advertising Auction Sales has been endorsed ist*-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 nojv 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 sfele.

You simply "pay your money machinery stands IDLE 14 to 16'hours out of every 24, and is permitted to “cool off" before starting up again. and take your choice." There's the kind that's put up in a "pretty sack” that is made to "SELL" Then there's the BEST—French's White Lily. It isn't put up in any the BUYER. It wasn’t made to USE. If you buy that kind you are certain expensive, gaudy sack—just a neat, plain one. We don’t blow ourselves on to have failures on "baking days." "sacks" to attract customers. We DO spend every cent we possibly can, to make the FLOUR that goes into, our sacks, the vgry BEST it can possibly be made. Last year we spent thousands and thousands of dollars for a brand new equipment of the very latest models of machinery, NOT to makfe more _ Then there’s the flour that's simply "wheat ground up." There's no skill tn the manufacture; there's nothing back of it to commend it. to the continued use of the Housewife. It's made in mills where the manufacturers MUST shove through a certain number of bushels of wheat every 8 or 10 hours in , order that the manufacturer may pay rent and running expenses, and make a profit It’s the kind that’s made in ALL mills that run only 8 or to hours a day. Such flour isn't FINISHED, because the mills are lacking in up-to- flour, but to make BETTER flour. Therefore we clean our wheat BETTER, and we put our grain through MANY more processes than other mills do. It insures the users of French's White Lily a CLEANER. PURER, BETTER flour than ANY OTHER, but we DON'T CHARGE YOU ANY MORE. Why not try a sack and SEE to pay EXPENSES. And the flour made in such-mills is NOT of EVEN FOR YOURSELF. For more than 25 years the DEMAND for French's White Lily Flour has been so great that we have been compelled to run night and day, year in and year out. We feel that the “good will" of those who have so long demand­ ed French’s White Lily in preference to all others is OUR BEST ASSET, and that no expense on our part is too great to seek to MERIT their continued QUALITY. The quality simply can NOT be smooth and even where the confidence. date equipment. And even if they had the equipment, they could not afford to put the grain through all the processes it should be'put through and pay expenses.

That is to It takes courage make a declaration to break away from old forjns and old ways; to turn about and face the other way; to decide that wrongs have existed in old methods. The man who smokes to excess wakes up to the fact that it is working him an injury; it’s hurting his throat; destroy­ ing his appetitp, or affecting his entire nervous system; when this is’found‘out he at once goes into executive session with himself- and makes a declaration to quit. The quitter is right sometimes. He is right when he has been going wrong to re-form and endeavor to do better; to cut loose from that which is detrimental to health and purse and put the brace of right living and right doing into operation. The declaration we wish you to make is not that of the quit­ ter for accumulation but the beginner; the declaration that will lead to independence and to property; that will lead to pros­ perity and to wealth. To do this there must be some resolves; if your crop is spent before it is harvested; if your wages are . pledged before earned; if you are forever in the grip of the creditor, a/Geclaration of independence is necessary before you can ever win oul. „ Just take a day off and figure it out. That is, work for yourself one day and lay some plans for the future; there is an opportunity here for each and all; if you get into opportu­ nities band wagon you must make a littlg independent exertion on your own account. Cut your expense account. Why cut your expense account? Because the things that you can get along without will be your saving; will become your start; will become the nucleus from whiclv you will some day build a home, start a. business and make good in*life, which every one with healtk and strength should do in a land where there arc such opportunities offered as here. Chances are all gone we .hear you say? Just watch the stream of strangers th£t are pouring into this country from foreign lands, where there is some truth'to the assertion that "the chances are all gone," ‘‘Watch them accumulate; watch them buy and build and finally to own good homes and good farms; they made their declaration of independence to save and to have and their wisdom should be An inspiration to the native born who arc camped over a. mine of wealth and cannot see* it; who have acres of diamonds right at hand and do not realize it.

We are in constant touch with a large number of pros­ pective buyers, residing in other counties and other states, where land values are higher, and who are accustomed to “higher prices” per acre- That is ONE REASON why we can sell your land for MORE MONEY than you could sell it for your­ self. ■ If you sell your land yourself, it will probably be to some one in your own neighborhood, town­ ship, or county and you would only get the going prices. " We are now commencing to get a good many inquiries for farm land. People who want to buy are “looking around,” It may be that your farm will be just what some of our customers are look­ ing for.

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. z 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 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. THE BANNER'S METHOD of advertising Auction Salss has been endorsed 1st—By the State Association of Auctioneers. 2nd—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.

' * and brilliant v the polls Iou It takes courage to make a declaration. That is to make a declaration to break away from old forms and old ways; to turn about and face the'other way; to decide that wrongs have existed in old methods. The man who smokes to excess wakes up to the fact that it is working him an injury; it’o hurting his throat; destroy­ ing bis appetite or affecting bis entire nervous system; when this is found out he at once goes into executive session with himself and makes a declaration to quit. The quitter is right sometimes. He is right when he has been going wrong tO re-form and endeavor to' do better; to cut loose from that which is detrimental to health and purse and put the brace of right living and right doing into operation. The declaration wt wiah you to make is not that of the quit­ ter for accumulation but the beginner; the declaration that will lead to independence and to property; that will lead to pros­ perity and to wealth. To do this there qjust be some resolves; if your crop is spent before it is harvested; if your wages are pledged before, earned; if you are forever in the grip of the creditor, a declaration of independence is necesiary before you can ever win out. Just take a day off and figure it out. That Is, work for yourself one day and lay some plaqs for tlje future; there is an opportunity here for each and 'all; if you get into opportu­ nities band wagon you must make a little independent exertion on your own account. . . Cut your expense account. Why cat your expense account? Because the things that you can get along without will be your saving; will become your start; will become the nucleus from which you will some day build a home, start a business and make good in life, which every one with health and strength should do in a land where there are such opportunities offered'as here. * Chances are all gone we hear you say? Just watch the stream of strangers that are pouring into this country from foreign lands, where there is some truth to the assertion that "the chances are all gone,” Watch them accumulate; watch them buy and build and finally to own good homaa and good farms; they made their declaration of independence to save and to have and their wisdom should be an inspiration to the native born who arc camped over a mine of wealth and cannot see it; who have atres of diamonds right at hand and do not realize it Why don’t you place your order for coal now, don’t wait as it will be much harder to get coal this season than it was last season.

We are in constant touch with a large number of pros­ pective buyers, residing in other counties and other states, where land values are higher, and who are accustomed to "higher prices" per acre. That is ONE REASON why we can self your land for MORE MONEY than you could sell it for your self. If you sell your land yourself, it will probably be to some one in your own neighborhood, town­ ship, of county and you would only get the going prices.

( rie Whole Car Load Of The Famous “Gold Medal” Flour Was Received Friday. Friday_we received a shipment of ONE CAR LOAD of the famous “GOLD MEDAL” Flour, made by the great Wash­ burn-Crosby Mills in Minneapolis, Minm “Gold Medal” Flour is universally acknowledged to be the BEST FLOUR MADE" and usually commands from $1.00 to $1.25 MORE PER BARREL than winter flours, and from 15c to 40c more than any other spring wheat flour. • ' Without question this was the LARGEST SHIPMENT of flour ever made to any baking establishment in this City or Countv. vious shipment was on May 22nd. last, when we received a HALF C^AR LOAD of “GOLD MEDAL” Flour. This Car Load Of Flour Will Not Laat Ua Over 8 Wooka What We Are Doing We are now baking from 1,000 to 1,500 loaves of bread EVERY DAY, in addition to the great number of pies, cakes, doughnuts and other pastries we bake. People are rapidly re­ alizing that they can buy their BREAD and BAKED GOODS here for LESS MONEY than they could buy the materials and do their baking at home. Doubtless the largest ore- Here We Save Again v /-w bake bread we MIX the materials for 500 LOAVES. We put the materials in our Electric Mix­ ing Machine and mix it QUICKER, BETTER and CLEANER than the housewife could mix the dough for 4 or 9 loaves by hand. Therefore it costs us LESS MONEY per LOAF to mix. • We Bake 500 Loaves at Once We bake 500 LOAVES or more at- each baking, and bake from two to four times a day. It doesn't take us any longer, if as long, to bake 500 LOAVES as it docs the housewife to bake 4 or 5 loaves. So it costs us LESS MONEY PER LOAF to bake br.ead than it does the housewife. The “Reason Why” This Is So How It “Figures Out” When the housewife buys flour, she buys a 25 er 50 pound sack, and is charged the “long price." We buy in CARLOAD LOTS and get the VERY LOWEST. PRICE. We actually use a BETTER FLOUR than the housewife would use in her own home, end we get it for LESS MONEY PER SACK than the housewife would have to pay for a much poorer quality of flour. Identically the same thing is. true of Leaf Lard, Sugar and all other materials we use. We make a BIG SAVING by buying in LARGE QUANTITIES, which the housewife could not afford to do in bdking for her photograph of the Cm Load ot "Gold Medel" Flour received at this Bakery Friday. This row of flour wsi Bfl feet tong. There were 410 HALF BARREL SACKS in the Car Load, each sack containing W POUNDS of flour, not counting the weight of the tack. Each tack wet about J FEET LONG. If tbsse sacks were laid so that the ends would just touch, it would make a continuous line ALMOST A QUARTER OF A MILE LONG of Half Bar­ rel Sacks of "Gold Medal" Flour. When baked into loaves this Car-load will make a continuous line of breed OVER BIGHT MILB3 WNG. Thia Car Load of flour will nut Utt u» over BIGHT WBBKS. Thia meant that the people are EATING the equivalent of OVER ONE MILE OF HASTINGS POTATO BREAD BACH WEEK.

Thirty-five gilts were divided into seven lots of five each, nnd corn was made tbe basis of the various feeds fed to each lot. The lot which was fed corn alone produced the smallest num­ ber In Utters, the weakest pigs and tbe lightest weight per pig. The sows fed corn nnd alfplfa produced tbe largest and fattest pigs, though their number was a trifle smaller than those pro­ duced by sows fed on a radon consist­ ing of four pounds of meat meal to thirty pounds of ear corn, and another lot fed bn a mixture of corn, oats, bran, middlings snd oil meal.

There is no escape, no ap­ pealing iq. thg. msrey of tha court; no endorsed by th? people of Barry County and by those living in adjoining counties who know how thoroughly the BANNER covets BarryvCounty. We have testimonials from many of our patrons who realized from $100 to $700 more than they expected from their Auction Sales. " Large Crowdi Are Always Preset BIMeg ie Lively. WHY? 1st—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County. 2nd—Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their homes at times when they have the time and disposition to read* them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgbtten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and'the "irrepressible kid" soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place ^vhere 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. 1st—By the State Association of Auctioneers. .. - ' 2nd—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 papen having a large general circulation, such as the BANNER has can successfully advertise an auction sale that will bring resists. The BANNER is now printingj},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.

We are in constant touch with a large number of pros­ pective buyers, residing in other counties and other states, where land values are higher, and who are accustomed to "higher prices" per acre. That is ONE REASON why we can sell your land for MORE MONEY than you could sell it for your­ self. If you sell your land yourself, it will probably be to some one in your own neighborhood, town­ ship, or county and you would only get the going prices. Weare now commencing to get a good many inquiries for farm land. People who want to buy are “looking around.” It may be that your farm will be just what some of our customers are look­ ing for.

Lake shipments will be taken care of FIRST, and there will undoubtedly be some who can’t get hard coal at all when they want it. We have some hard coal on hand and several cars in transit. Many -dealers all over the country are now charging WINTER RATES for coal, but we are charging SUMMER RATES lor a short time, and advise our customers who qan do so, to place their orders with us NOW for their winter’s supply. And on account pi the increased price of hard coal, the min­ ers of Pocahontas coal have also increased their price. We will sell the Pocahontas coal for a short time at summer rates, or un­ til we have to pay more money, when we will have to.increase the price. >-■' YOU'LL SAVE MONEY BY ORDERING NOW EDMONDS BROS THE ELEVATOR MEN Hastings, Mich, Hastings, Mich soi-ni nt-n-axD.

Get The Fly Or He’ll “Get You There is no other known agency that spreads disease as rapidly as flies. Therefore it is up to you, if you wish to save yourself and family suffering and doctor's bills, TO GET THE FLY. I One of t)ie most effective ways is to get after the breeding places. Keep the vaults and places where slop water is thrown thoroughly cleansed with chloride of'lime, copperas, and Kreso Dip No. 1. The most proline source\>f flies in the counfry is the manure pile. ,We have a preparation selling at 50c per gallon that when sprinkled nv^rvthe manure pile will kill the millions of flics' eggs de­ posited therein. Use this dope on the manure pile, chloride of lime and Kreso Dipt in the vaults aqd where slop water is thrown and follow it up with an effective campaign in.. the house and you will have no flies, fresh from these places of filth walking over your butter and swimming in your soup, leaving behind them a trail of filth laden with disease germs. Tanglefoot—catches the germ as well as the fly. Poison Fly Paper. . Daisy Fly Killers.' Wonder Fly Killers. Dixie Fly Trap. Persian Insect Prowder. Fly Swatters.

In farming, just as in manufacturing-the one who succeeds is equipped with the BEST MACHINERY. So up-to-date manufacturer can AFFORD be without a machine that will SAVE TIME, or DO HIS WORK BETTER, no matter what the COST. The very same thing is true with the farmer. We handle a line of Farm Machines that are MONEY MAKERS FOR THE FARM­ ER because thev SAVE TIME and DO THE WORK BETTER. No farmer can afford to continue to use an old, out-of-date implement when he has a chance tovbuy one of our new and up-to-date ones.

WE PAY * A BONUS TO FARMERS WHOSE WHEAT TESTS OVER 60 POUNDS TO THE BUSHEL, AND WE PAY ENOUGH SO THAT IT “MAKES IT AN OBJECT" FOR THE FARMERS TO “GROW BETTER WHEAT." THERE ARE MANY FARMERS IN THIS SECTION WHO HAVE BEEN RAISING WHEAT ESPECIALLY FOR US FOR YEARS. if BY CAREFULLY SELECTING THEIR SEED, AND CARE IN THE PREPARATION OF THE LAND THEY RAISE WHEAT THAT IN­ VARIABLY TESTS OVER 60 POUNDS.

YOU HAVE TO "PAY THE FREIGHT" ON THAT WHEAT FROM MICHI­ GAN OUT TO WHEREVER IT GOES. THEN WHEN THE FLOUR COMES BACK YOU HAVE TO “PAY THE FREIGHT" ON THAT FLOUR FROM THE PLACE WHERE IT IS MADE, TO THE CITY OR TOWN WHERE YOU BUY IT. y ■___ . THAT IS WHY IT IS MORE ECONOMICAL FOR YOU TO BUY FRENCH’S WHITE LILY. WHEN YOU BUY FRENCH’S WHITE LILY, YOU GET A MUCH BETTER FLOUR BECAUSE IT’S MADE OUT OF THE BEST MICHIGAN WHEAT, AND YOU GET IT AT A LOWER PRICE. WE SAVE YOU THOSE FREIGHT CHARGES BOTH,GOING AND COMING, AND GIVE YOU A BETTER FLOUR. SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET THE IDEA THAT IF AN ARTICLE IS MADE IN A LARGE CITY THAT IT IS BETTER ON THAT AC­ COUNT. THAT IDEA IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG. WE GET THE BEST MICHIGAN WHEAT, AND THERE ISN’T A MILL IN THIS WHOLE COUNTRY THAT HAS A BETTER EQUIP­ MENT—AND VERY, VERY FEW HAVE AS GOOD.

Can he operated by a foot trip when riding or by a hand latch when walking. The operator’s work is diminished by at least one half, because of the case with which the plow's action can be controlled. A compression spring on the No. 26 also.makes it possible to plow sod with­ out breaking the sod on extremely uneven land.

If the dates are forgotten the BANNER cah be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the "irrepressible kid” soon put them out of business. At the small territory—and that usually right to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for leas than Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction 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. THE BANNER'S METHOD of advertising Auction Salos has boon endors'd X 1st—By the State Association of Auctioneers. and—By alt 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 5.300 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 ni fail to secure one of these booklets if you contemplate holding a sale. I suggestions will mean larger and better results from your sale.

Or if you want to COMPARE the real MERITS of flour, just buy a sack of French’s White Lily and a sack o£jmy other flour that is claimed to be “just as good.” Make a batch of bread from each kind. Put the loaves of bread in the oven right side by side and bake them at the same time. It will be an interesting experiment for you to try. You will fipd that French's White Lily Flour will solve your baking troubles for you. We GUAR­ ANTEE cvery^sack you buy to PLEASE YOU. You don’t run any risk whatever in buying 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 a wholesome food as French’s White Lily Flour. It is a perfectly “balanced” flour, due largely to the perfect con­ ditions under which it is made. French’s White Lily Flour is the result of the best wheat grown passing through the best, newest and most up»to-date flour making machinery that money can buy. More than this it is made in a mill that runs continuously DAY and NIGHT year in and year out. As our machinery is all operated by water power, you can see the perfect conditions under which French’s White Lily Flour is produced. None but the best of skilled help is employed in this mill. . With our brand new equipment of fnachinery 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 liked French’s White Lily Flour in the past, you’ll like it a great deal better now. The flour we are making.to-day is BETTER than it ever was before. • ' We give “S & H” Green Trading Stamps cottage at Baddiebag lake. Her father Cash, or easy payment plan.

Thousands of hard earned and slowly saved dollars have, in the past few years, by people of this city and county, been invested in fake mining schemes, fake progiotion schemes, and other devices conceived by smooth­ tongued promoters of get-rich-quick schemes to separate honest folks from their money.

Only by booking early were we able to secure such an absolutely unrivalled list of orators and lecturers. . Dr. Wirt Lowther Dr. Wirt Lowther will not only act as platform manager, and we all know his ability in this line, but he will also open the assemb­ ly on August first, with his splendid lecture on “Touching Life With the Upward Impulse.” In addition, every morning Dr. Lowther will give a literary lecture. These literary lectures are simply gems and to miss them will be an incalculable loss. Tahan “Things I Saw and Did While a Savage” is the topic of Tahan*s lecture. It is ope of the moat unique lectures on the' platform today. Given in Indian costume, it is a thrilling story of a most remarkable life. Tahan’s diction and style are fasci­ nating and we predict that he will be one of the most enjoyable speakers on the program. Hon. Geo. D. Alden “The Needs of the Hour,” is the subject of this speaker’s lecture. Judge Alden is said by those who have heard him to be a wonderful orator. At Ionia this year Judge Alden was easily the star of the entire assembly. —....... । . Thursday, Aojum Im. After Band Coneart. Strollers Quartette. . Dr. Wirt Lowther. Evrnlnc. Band Concert.

Its theme is the revolution of a selfish man. There arc fifteen different charac­ ters. The marvel of the artist’s work is that these fifteen char­ acters come and go with no apparent effort.

This feature of this year’s assembly is well worth noting.

Colby, The Cartoonist Senator Frank Cannon Too much can not be said in praise of this splendid enter­ tainer. Wherever he has appeared his audiences have been de­ lighted and there is no doubt but what he will be equally pleas­ ing here. Senator Cannon is a son of Apostle Cannon, and has fought polygamy with all his might. He was turned out of the Mormon church for his opposition to the seating of Reed Smoot. His ar­ ticles in Everybody’s Magazine exposing the Mormon hierarchy have attracted wider attention than perhaps any other in recent years. He will deliver his great lecture "The Modern Mormon Kingdom,” the afternoon of August 7th.

Set of Ware FREE If you call our store during our Majestic Demonstration Week and allow us to show you the many advantages and superior qualities o( the Great Majest' if Range, and will purchase one at the regular price we will give you Free the beautiful and useful Souvenir Set of Ware iUuatrated- in this advertisement. This ware is made to match the quality o( the Majestic Ranges, and we know all .ladies will see the beauty and utility of this set, especially thefirst three pieces, • which are entirely new and cannot be had alone by purchase, except at a very high price The prices of Majestic Ranges are the same, but we give the set FREE with each Majestic Range bought during the demonstration week only. Reasons Why The Great Majestic You Should Buy xst.—It-has the reputation of being the best range money can buy. 2nd.—It not only has tho reputation but IS the best range made, and we will prove this to you if you will let us. 3rd.—It is constructed of malleable iron, material you can t beat and of Char­ coal iron, material that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel, is riveted to­ gether air tight. No heat escapes or cold air enters the range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect work. 4th.—-The reservoir alone is worth the price of range over any other reservoir made. It boils 15 gallons of water; is heated like a tea kettle, with pocket against left hand lining, and it movable and sets on a frame, hence cannot wear out. When water gets too hot it can be moved away from fire. Majestic ranges use less; heat more water—and heat it hotter; cost pract­ ically nothing for repairs; lasts three times as lohg; bakes better; easier to keep clean and gives better satisfaction than any other range on the market. If you know positively that the above statements are true, woufdB’t you buy a Majest­ ic at once? Come in Demonstration Week and We'll Prove It to You. There are hundreds of people in Barry County who have used the Majestic Range for years. They are our best advertisers. Talk with them about the Majestic.

Miss Hewitt, of Plainwell, We Have a Large Line When you buy a Wagon or Buggy you want one that will last for years, one that has the “wear and tear” in it. We are highly pleased v^ith our line of Buggies and Wagons. We never tie ourselves to any one line, but when we can find anything that is BETTER, and the price is RIGHT, we ADD IT TO OUR LINE. That is one reason WHY you'always get the BEST ON THE MARKET at this store. That is why people find it to their advantage to come here from miles around and BUY OF US. We give them the BEST FOR THEIR MONEY. Our prices are LOWER than prevail elsewhere be­ cause the COST of doing business is MUCH LESS, our living expenses are MUCH LOWER. All of these items have to be ADDED to the COST and the CONSUM­ ER HAS TO PAY THEM. . By getting these costs down to the LOWEST POS­ SIBLE NOTCH we are able to MAKE THE LOWEST PRICES. BUGGIES We have the PAGE BROS., STUDEBAK­ ER LULL MICHIGAN DURANT DORT. These lines are STANDARD. There are no better made for the money.

BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY Wise investment of the money which one may have saved is a problem. Thousands of hard earned and slowly saved dollars have, in the past few years, by people of this . city and county, been invested in fake mining schemes, fake promotion schemes, and other devices conceived by smooth­ tongued promoters of get-rich-quick schemes to separate honest folks from their money. Many of your fellow citizens are poorer, and,, let us hope wiser, for their sorry experiences. But it ought not to be necessary for YOU to learn that way. And it is quite unnecessary for you to trouble yourself about the SAFE and WISE IN­ VESTMENT of your Savings. Bring them to this bank and deposit in our Savings Department. We will PAY, YOU 50 PER CENT HIGHER INTEREST THAN A GOVERNMENT BOND WOULD YIELD YOU, and compound the interest TWICE EACH YEAR.

More farmers are exchanging their wheat for a Winter’s sup­ ply of flour than ever before. They have learned that the older the flour gets the. BETTER it gets. It improves with aj*e. Now when you exchange, I cordially invite you to exchange your wheat for PURITY FLOUR. I feel justified in asking and expecting your patronage, because this mill was the FIRST one to give you 40 POUNDS of Flour in exchange for each bushel of good wheat. Y ou NEVER got but 30 to 35 POUNDS before I started here. ~ I have saved the farmers of Burry County thousands of dol­ lars on their exchanges of wheat for flour, and I have given them BETTER FLOUR |han they ever got before.

At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the ptace where the sate was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usually preset, attracted more by curidsity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale adver­ tisements dntw 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.

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 l6 pages of information and suggestions on conducting an Auction Sale.

The great majority of the people in this county would not all be using French’s White Lily Flour unless they KNEW that it was the BEST, would they? They are doing just what everyone else is seeking to do, and that is to get the BEST FOR THEIR MONEY. They have used French’s White Lily; they have tried other flours. But they all come back to French’s White Lily Flour because it is the BEST MADE FLOUR ON THE MARKET. It is also the CLEANEST* flour on the mar­ ket because all the grain is washed and pol­ ished; all cockle, broken kernels and foul stuff are taken out by special patented machines, which is not done in other mills. Therefore you get all this stuff in the flour those mills make. As the result of 38 years of successful ex­ perience and the most modern equipment of machinery, French’s White Lily Flour has a rich nutty flavor all its own. Try it the next time. .

Her FURNITURE Our big July Reduction Sale mpde room for our NEW GOODS, just aS we planned. We take tbis occasion to thank the people for their very generous patronage during our Reduction Sale. We are conscious of the (act that we. gave the people splendid bargains which they will always value. But we appre­ ciate just the same their response to our invitation to help us clear out our old stock in ordef to make room-for the new goods. Now let us tell you about our new goods and. how you can buy the BEST Furniture At Wholesale Prices We have been fortunate again in securing for our stores several lines of SAMPLE FURNITURE that were on exhibition at Grand Rapids last month. Every piece we bought had been made and finished especially (or this July Sale at Grand Rapids. No pains or expense were spared to make these lines of samples perfect. When the Sales were oyer the manufacturers did not wish to goto the trouble and expense of recrating these goods and returning them to the factory and there recrating them and .sending out on order. They made us tempting offers to save all this and we bought the entire lines and shipped them to our stores. Our BUYING POWER for our several stores enables us to handle these large sample lines. .And put us in a position to GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS A BIG BENEFIT in the way of buying'the BesQFurniturc Made at prices which the factories ordinarily ask at wholesale.

It is e only fair we know of in Michigan where the com­ petition is limited strictly to the people of the county yvhere the fair is held. ' The design is to stimulate competition in farm products and livestock among men who are in a situatiorrto know each other, and who can thus learn from one another as they could not expect to from strangers. The speial value of the fair, the bringing together of the people of the county is not the least to be con­ sidered.

Why not save her all that hard work by buying your baked goods here? A good many are doing so. Our baked goods are made ^trom “Gold Medal” flour, the BEST that any man's money can buy. By baking in such large quan­ tities as we do, we can furnish you bread and baked goods formless than you could buy the materials and do the baking yourself.

More than that you won’t have any spoiled bakings that will have to be thrown away, because every sack of French’s White Lily is just like every other sack. That is because the grain is always thorough­ ly cleaned and polished in the same way, and all “cockle” and broken kernels are taken out. It is made in the way that over 37 years, of successful manufacture have proven to us to be the BEST, and by the best and latest models of machinery that money can buy. We give you the FULL WEIGHT which is printed on each sack. More than that we GUARANTEE French’s White Lily Flour to PLEASE YOU, and we “make good” on that guarantee. If you ever get a sack of French’s White Lily Flour that does not please you, all you have to do is to return it to your Grocer and get your money back or a new sack of flour. If you are seeking to practice economy, why not try the- French's White Lily way? Thousands of families are finding it to be a MONEY-SA VING WAY So will yotf. MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS Middleville, R.

MICM .<= Good Plowing MEANS GOOD FARMING Agricultural experts say that a great deal of the erosion, or "washing," on farms comes from poor, shallow plow­ ing. Turning up a shallow furrow causes the rains to wash all the good substance of the soil down into the lower places, leaving the higher spots bare and un­ productive, and rendering it easier to “wash” out. We sell the famous Oliver plow, recognized all over the world. We have them for all kinds of uses. They do BETTER WORK, and do it EASIER than any plowmade. The great problem of the future is to grow food stuff for the world. ■ It Ayill ail be needed, and the farmer who provides himself with a good Oliver plow and the best of farm implements such as we sell, is sure to reap his share of the rich returns that follow. ’ If yo,u want a good plow, don't buy until you see the Oliver.

Blessed old days, and moat'wholesome to look back upon, are those when the hearty laugh of father would not split the lace cur­ tains. and when mother could have two big, healthy children upon her lap while she waa silting down, with safety to all parties, in her rocker.

It is more than a stimu­ lant to the land, and its benefits can be noticed for several years. That is WHY it is BET­ TER for your land than chemical fertilizers, which are-useful only for ONE YEAR. In our farming operations wc used a great deal of Homestead Fertilizers. They gave by far the best results of any of the many kinds we tried. That's why we secured the Agency for them when we went into the Elevator business. WE KNOW WHAT THEY WILL DO. We know that everyone who uses them will be pleased—and that's the kind of article we sell. . Now is the time to order your fertilizer and we will be glad to talk with Anyone thinking of buying. We know we can do you a lot of good. I (Irtu* the i aUMit Urrnj the eooslltutfoc uni awM luwork. The | ropriMoM I u IU evraUre Jo»rr» that tbr THE ELEVATOR MEN Phone 18 H. C.

You will appreciate the fact that there muat be a REASON—THEY COULD DO BETTER HERE; COULD GET MORE FURNITURE VALUES FOR THEIR MONEY. o Long experience in this business; buying in large quantities for our three stores; and close touch with the best makes and makers of furniture explain the preference given this store by the two families mentioned. We shall be glad to give you their pajnes if you are interested. It will occur to YOU that if these people could save money by buying their furniture of us instead of in the large cities where they live, it will pay you to see us when you need anything -in the line*of FURNITURE-CARPETS-RUGS-CURTAINS-PIANOS, ETC. Unless we can satisfy you that it is to your advantage to buy here, we would not expect you to deal with us. Miller & Harris Furniture Co The Practical Furniture People Hasting*.

If you know this bakery, you do not need to be told that we use only the highest grade of materials in the making ol Hastings Potato Bread: that it’s "Baked Clean. Made Clean and Sold Clean;' that we employ tbe best skilled labor; and leave nothing undone that can improve the quality or increase the deserved popularity of Hastings Potato Bread. On the score | of a wholesome, sanitary food product, it deserves a place at every family table in Barry County. But what about the price? That's the "clincher" of our argument lor Hastings Potato Bread. YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO BAKE BREAD FOR YOUR OWN USE. when you can buy our bread. We deliver to all parts of the city. The cost of tlie'aiaterials, the cost of the fuel, and the labor required to bake your own bread figured at half/price, would make Hastings Potato Bread an economy in your home. And you- get UNIFORMALLY GOOD BREAD without the discomfort of baking it yourself. Isn't that true economy? We would be glad to figure this with any housewife, and-can convince her that it is a real economy to buy Hastings Potato Bread instead of baking bread herself. . « A WORD ABOUT PASTRIES Wbat we have said about bread applies to pastries. We keep a large line of Pies, Cakes, Cookies, and Friedcakes, etc. As a proof that our trade in pastries is growing: Last week we baked and sold 3500 cookies.

RECIPROCITY This was the mill that first gave you 40 lbs. of flour in ex­ change for a bushel of wheat. ’ And we do that EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR. Before we came, farmers were getting from 30 to 35 lbs. of flour. Frequently the elevators decline to make the exchange, although they claim to follow our lead. And besides this we have made Hastings die best inland wheat market in Michigan. Isn’t Reciprocity the fair thing—to patronize the tnan who helps you? We leave that to your sense of justice. How else can you show your appreciation except by selling us your wheat, and also letting us do your feed grinding and by using Purity Flour, which has no superior? “Purity” is used in thousands* of homes not only in Barry County, buf in other parts of the state where the “prejudice” against some­ thing that “has been” is not so strong as it is here. We cannot help what was, but we do know by actual test of flours day by day from other mills, that there is none superior to “Purity.” We won’t ask you to use Purity through sympathy or friendship, but do ask you to use it bcc.ause we Know it is better than any flour in this market.

II you call at our. store during our Map-ntic Demonstration Week and allow us to show you the many advantages ant! 5interior qualities of the Great Majest­ ic Range, and will purchase one at the regular price we will give you Free the beautiful and-useful Souvenir Set of War® illustrated in this advertisement. This ware is made-to match the qiii\Jity of the Majestic Ranges, and we know all ladies will sec the beauty and utility of. this set, especially the first three pieces, which are entirely new and cannot Ik-had alone.by purchase, except at a very high-price. The prices of Majestic Ranges are the same, but we give the set FREE with each Majestic Range bought during the demonstration week only. MICH ist.—It has the reputatioa of being the best range money can buy. and.—It not only has the reputation but IS the best range made, and we will prove this to you if you will let us. 3rd.—It is constructed of malleable iron, material you can't beat and of Char­ coal iron.Tnaterial that resists rust 300 per cent greater than steel, is riveted to­ gether air tight. No heat escapes or cold air entera the range, thus uses very little fuel to do perfect work. 4th.—The reservoir alone is worth the price of range over any other reservoir made. It boils 15 gallons of Water; is he&ted like a tea kettle, with pocket against left hand lining, and is movable and sets on a trame, hence cannot wear out. When water gets'too hot it can be moved away from fire. Majestic ranges use less; heat more water—and heat it hotter; cost pract­ ically nothing for repairs; lasts three times as long; bakes better; easier to keep clean and gives better satisfaction than any other range on the market. If you know positively that the above statements are true, wouldn’t you buy a Majest­ ic at pnee? ** • Come in Demonstration Week and yVe'II Prove It to Ybu.

Why Farmer Jones Got Wise A solicitor for the Shultz Creamerv met him on the road and asked him this simple question. What are you getting for the cream you sell? He said he received 25c for butter fat and had to haul it to the'creamery which was eight miles awaj*The solicitor then asked the questions; did you ever figure up the time or the price it costs you to deliver jfour cream and then deduct it from what you really receive, then did you ever stop to consider that the other fellow is not doing busi­ ness for his health, but for profit? NOW WHY'NOT OWN A CREAMERY OF YOUR OWN and receive the PROF­ IT that the other fellow is taking out of your , pocket and placing in his own? Never thought of that did you? The olher fell(K>- says one over churn is too MUCH, who gets the OVER CHURN. YOU or the OTHER FELLOW? 'i ou do and that is where the shoe pinches. Here is whut we have to-oiler; for $10.00 investment in a stock which will make a creamery for you "all of your own. LtMcn just a minute Jicre it is in figures; farmer Jones sells 120 lbs. of 40' cream, 48 lbs. butter fat for the first week in July. Just another moment, look between the lines, says the solicitor, while I talk, and get it all. we would draw (he cream, make it inlo butter and sell it in the very best market, and pay you from one to two cents per pound higher than any one else. W hy can you do this asks the wise fanner, and it is a question I hope more of you will ask. Why can you do all this more (han any one else can? The answer is here, there is no one after any profits, no they arc all yours, every man is just alike, brotherly love aye! That is juy what it is.. You help me and I will help you and all profit by it. Your share in the Shultz Creamery* will d<» all I have said and more. Now here arc those figures 1 started to give you. You said you sold 120 lbs. of 40% cream, 48 lbs. butter fat at 25c net, making $12.00. I say NO not NET but GROSS. Why? Here it is you live eight miles from the creamery do you not? Yes, well then six times eight are 48 miles, and at four miles per hour it took you twelve hours to make tbe three trips with il# cream, and at those figures you and your team are worth to you $5.00 per ten hours, we will throw off the two hours as they amount to only $1.00. That will leave y®u only SEVEN ($7.00.) for that hard weeks work in July when the flics are so bad. Here is what the Shultz Creamery would have paid you for the same cream; 120 lbs. at 40% test, 48 lbs, butter fat at 27c net -$12.96 NET, yes I will re­ peat it net, for your hauling, making, profit and all has been taken out of this. You can^scc that you will have a net gain of $5.96. Is that worth (poking after? I think it is and I know it is. If. some one was reaching into your pocket'knd taking $5.96 1 think that they would hear from Jbnes, don’t you? And if it is taken from you in a nice smooth way it is just as bad as if some one put their hand in your pocket and took it out. So get wise and call us up and do as farmer Jones did, join the Shultz Creamery. It’s a paying investment. Y ours for a square deal Shultz Creamery Co.

With all the recent im provements in machinery, making the BEST product of any kind is largely a mat ter of equipment and help This is ESPECIALLY TRUE of .flour. The latest models of flour-making machinery get all of the flour-goodness out of the wheat that is .lost by any mill using old-style machinery. Unless a mill is fully equipped with the latest improved machinery, - that mill CAN NOT make the BEST QUALITY of flour. But the latest patented and improved ma­ chines cost money—just as all patented de­ vices do. To throw out an entire equipment of old machinery, and replace it all with new, requires a large expenditure of money, saying nothing of the temporary disorganization of business, and keeping things in a turmoil for months.

If a man Start With A Dollar You’ll Soon Save A Thousand Good Plowing MEANS GOOD FARMING Agricultural experts say that a great deal of the erosion, or “washing,” on farms comes from poor, shallow plow­ ing. Turning up a shallow furrow causes the rains to wash all the good substance of the soil down into the lower places, leaving the higher spots bare and un­ productive, and rendering it easier to "wash” out. We sell the famous Oliver plow, recognized all over the world. We have them for all kinds of uses. They do BETTER WORK, and do it EASIER than any plow made.' The great problem of the future is to grow food stuff for the world. It will all be* lic'eded, and the farmer who provides himself with a good Oliver plow and the best of. farm implements such as we sell, is sure to reap his share of the rich returns that follow. If you want a good plow, don’t buy until you see the Oliver. It has ail others “beaten by a mile.” Goodyear Brothers HARDWARE and IMPLEMENT DEALERS 1064-10 6<«t. 8«ml Hastings, Mich.

In that time we have tried a good many 'different concerns, gradually cutting out those who did not furnish COAL OF QUALITY and continuing with THOSE WHO DID. As a result we have built up an established trade with people, who appreciate the BEST QUALITY for their money. I am get­ ting in the best coal that is mined. You don’t have to pay me any more for it than you do for the POQRER QUALITY. You bet­ ter place your order NOW for TWO REASONS:- 1st. The price is lower;- 2nd. You may not be able to get it later on when you need it, because the coal strike greatly decreased production.

We have always used another flour but 1 told my wife that I’d like to have her TRY your Purity Flour, for I considered the benefit the mill is to the City; to the Community and it really was our duty to use it if we could.” The stequel was this way. This same gentleman again came to the writer and said: — ” ‘Purity,’ we got a sack of your Purity Flour, but are not going to use it again.” . In surprise I said to him, “Why?” He replied by saying it was too ex­ pensive. I replied by saying it didn’t COST any MORE than other flour. He says, "I dpn’t mean THAT way. I ipean we E.\T TOO MUCH of it. Why WE EAT A WHOLE BAKING AT A MEAL.” , Purity Flour is the best flour made for making Bread, Pies, Cakes, Pas­ tries, etc. Every PARTICLE of it is made from wheat grown right here in Barry County.

You can follow our plan for the “greatest efficiency” from the time the water enters our water wheels until the flour comes out all sacked and ready for shipment. Wherever we can LOWER THE COST of making flour we never letthe question of expense to us stand in' the way. How This Affects You. bVa“£ing yourself the question—“Well, how does that affect me? I am not interested in your mill.” If you use flour, you are Interested. Like everyone else, you want to cut down the “cost of living,” or in other words you want the BEST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY. If through owning our , own waiter power, mill, lighting plant, the best of new mach­ inery and the most efficient and economical arrangement for producing flour, we can put a MUCH BETTER product on the market, at the SAME PRICE charged for an inferior qual­ ity, then YOU ARE INTERESTED or at least YOU SHOULD BE. Well that’s JUST WHAT WE ARE DOING. One sack of French's White Lily Flour will convince you that it is the BEST, just as it has convinced thousands of others. MIDDLEVILLE ROLLER MILLS Middleville, R.

Meeting other people, getting other people’s ideas; seeing WHAT other people are doing, and HOW they arc doing it, are worth infinitely MORE to YOU than all the expense you’ll be to. This is a pretty rapid age in which we arc living. Things that are strictly up-to-date to-day are the cast-offs of tomorrow’, relatively speaking. And the man who isn’t up-to-date, be he merchant or farmer, soon lags behind in the race for SUCCESS. But of all improvements, none have been more marked than in the line of FARM MACHINERY.

DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE We love to talk of Independence, but can'a man be said to be Independent who has no money laid away for the inevitable rainy day; no means within his control that he may take advantage of Opportunity when she knocks at his door; who looks to the future with dread because he knows that if he loses his job or is ill or meets with some accident that he has no means to tide him over until he can square away again? We all know that such a man is NOT in­ dependent. In fact he is likely to become a dependent. And no man of thought or spirit can look with anything but distress upon anything of that kind. Now it is EASY to escape dependence and become really INDEPENDENT. It is the same • old way that has given to the world its successful men in every walk of life. It is no royal path; but an easy one for the ordinary everyday man in these dajls if he be determined. And here it is: LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS AND SAVE A PART OF YOUR EARNINGS. By Industry, Econ­ omy and Saving any man in America can become really independent, where he need not fear the'rainy day, nor the loss of a job, nor miss the chance when opportunity shall knock at his door. The first step is the RESOLUTION to do it. The next step is to REALLY DO IT. * And the next is easier yet. Bring your Savings to this Bank and deposit them in our Savings De­ partment, thereby your Savings become an INVESTMENT; for we pay 3 PER GENT INTEREST compounded every six months on your Savings Deposit and that is 50 per cent better interest than a Government Bond will pav and the security is just as ample.

Mulholland's From All Stations We have spent several years at the Business. We have sold Thousands of Acres of Real Estate. We are in touch with the Business. We know how to reach the BUYERS. That's our business. ■ That’s why we can do it better. We get in touch with buyers in other states through our outside advertising campaign, states where land is selling higher than in Barry County. Thus we reach people who are accustomed to and prepared to pay TOP NOTCH PRICES FOR LAND. But let us show you our System of handling real estate. If you want to sell, we can put you in . touch with the buyer. . And we always have some BARGAINS in Real-Estate. Some one wants to sell in a hurry, or to close up an estate or on account of poor health and is ready to sacrifice and so lists h’is farm with us. If a man wants to buy a farm, and buy it right we always have something for him. • In fact we are prepared to serve both buyer and seller and do full'justice to both.

Canning Supplies WE HAVE EVERYTHING This store makes a specialty of carrying EVERY­ THING in the line of Canning Supplies. Anything ‘ that you buy at this store will be FRESH and the very best of its kind. We don’t charge you anything extra for this high-grade service, but LESS than is usual with most stores. In preparing fruits and vegetables for canning, every housewife knows that good fresh spices, ex­ tracts, etc. have a lot to do with the proper flavor and quality of Canned goods. Spices are a most im­ portant addition to canned foods, to which they lend not only a pleasant flavor, but impart a distinct diet­ etic value. The strength^ flavor and taste of spices depend largely, in most cases wholly, upon the vola­ tile oil contained in them. Consequently if the oil be deficient in quality, or lacking entirely, the spice is proportionately inferior. Our spices are absolutely fresh and pure, and a great many people depend upon us every year for mem. ture tonight. Monday, st the church.

It will be a mistake for you to discard your old clothing because it may be greasy or dirty or out of shape and does not look fit to wear. Bring it here and let us dry-clean and press it and put it hr condition. We can make it look AS GOOD AS NEW. Our process of Dry-Cleaning restores the original lus­ ter of the cloth; thoroughly cleans the garment; and we can press it back into its original shape so it will look as good as new. And our charges for this vice are very reasonable. z Therefore do not be in a hurry to discard any garments because they look “seedy,” soiled or out of shape. Let us dry-clean -—■"them ------ for -you. Let us help you to “reduce the cost of living” by helping you to economize on your clothes and at the same time we will be making them “look just like new.” Our wagon will call for or deliver laundry or any garment* to be dry-cleaned anywhere in the city. j And by the way we also dry-dean rugs, curtains, draperies, etc. Another thing—Our process ot Dry-Cleaning effectually destroys moth eggs, so as to in­ sure your garments, rugs, curtains and drapes against the destructive work of moths.

President Adams of Fayette College says: “The average educated man receives a salary of $1,000 a year. He worked forty years, making a total of $40,000 in lifetime. The average laborer receives $1.50 a day. In forty years he earned $18,000. The difference is $22,000, the value of an education. For eight years of schooling a student puts in 1,440 days which pays $15 a day for each school day. Why put off receiving an education? CHOOSE YOUR COURSE Co Preparatory.

We all know that such a man is NOT in­ dependent. In fact he is likely to become a dependent. And no man of thought or spirit can. look with anything but distress upon anything of that kind.

At that time I said, "God bless ’em” and have been saying it ever since and have been making my prices accordingly. So please stick a pin here. I CAN, and I DO and I WILL sell the same grade of goods cheaper than any man that ever lent his aid in stealing binders or mowers or who sends out canvassers to drum up trade. First, I can afford to do it as I pay no rent or send out any canvassers, and then if it is true as one of the bunch says that I am the meanest man in Barry County, I will do it any way.

Those who market fruits or vegetables iu Hastings never come to this store when they have something inferior to sell. They know we won't buy it. They bring to ns tbe PERFECT fruit, the beat the market affords; and the vege­ tables that are clean, fresh end wholesome. They know we buy only that kind. We buy that kind, because we are catering to the trade that wants THE BEST; and it costa very little and in some instance* no more than others charge for inferior fruits and vegetables.

AUCTION SALE BnnnnnnBnnnnHnSnnnnHnBBBnBnBBB The BANNER’S method of advertising Auction Sales has been universally endorsed by the peo^ of Barry County and by those living in adjoining counties who know how thoroughly the BANNER covers Barry County.

Sweet Cha> tty* “lias It ever occurred to you that the more money n man haa tho more difficult It la for him to be charitable? WHT? Mt—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County. 2nd—Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their homes at times when they have the time and disposition to read them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the “irrepressible kid” soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to ba 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 worthy 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. THE lANNER-t METHOD ot MnrtWai Auction Salos has boas onfera* 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 5^00 papers each week and covers the County “like a blanket." We would be pleased to hear from anyone contemplating having an Auc­ tion Sale find 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 safe. Ifl suggestions will mean larger and better results frertn your sale. We have both the Bell and Citizens telephones.

Every Fur Coat, Scarf or Muff guaranteed to give Absolute Satisfaction. A Square Deal On Both Sides That's what we want. It has always been our endeavor to treat everyone fair and square and we like to get that kind of treatment in return. This mill was the first one to give you 40 Pounds of Purity Flour in exchange for a bushel of wheat. You never got but 30 to 35 pounds before we started. We have saved the farmers thousand; of dollars on this "exchange” proposition. Then if you’ve followed the market prices of wheat in Barry County you KNOW that we’ve paid frqpi 1 to 4 or 5c MORE per bushel for your wheat because we use nothing but Barry County wheat in making Purity. We’ve done the square thing by you. Have you done the square thing by Purity Flour by giving it a good fair trial? It’s the best flour made and every sack is GUARANTEED. T' ' over.

We fed Dr. Hess Stock Tonic, and only lost two head out of a herd of two hundred and ten.’’—Alex Nevins, Modesta, 111. ’ ALSO NOTE WRAT BULLETIN NO. 182 OF THE KANSAS STATE C0LLE6E SAYS ABOUT PREVENTING HOB CHOLERA: "When we recall the conditions which favor the disease and the. manner in which its infection takes pljice, it will be seen that feeding and caring of hogs has much to do with the prevention of the Cholera. Premises should be cleaned and dis­ infected regularly. The hogs themselves should be dipped, every few weeks. Main­ taining these conditions helps to keep up the vitality of the bog and in this way troubles of al) kinds are warded off. To aid digestion and circulation and to prevent worms, this bulletin recommends a formula of Wood Charcoal, Sulphur, Salt, Sodi­ um Bicarbonate, Sodium Sulphate, Sodium Hyposulpbate and Black Antimony.'* ■ This formul,, given In tsblsspoonful does, would undoubtedly be beneficial but would cut the hog relier about 10c per pound. How compere this with the formula for Dr. Heu Stock Tonic which Is vastly superior and has stood the test of 20 years. NUX VOMICA, Digestive and Nerve Tonic. QUASSIA, Digestive and General Tonic. Expels Worms. SULPHATE OF IRON, Blood Builder and Expels Worms. SULPHATE OF SODA,' Laxative and acts upon the Liver. COMMON SALT, Appetizer. Expels worms. EPSOM SALTS, Laxative. NITRATE OF POTASH. Acts upon the Kidneys. CHARCOAL, Prevents Noxious Gases. FENUGREEK, Tonic and Aromatic. This preparation is compounded by Dr. Hess, (M. D.. D. V. S.) and sold to you on a written guarantee and only costs 3c per month lor the average hog.

Isn’t it your idea, if you have a sale, to get the largest amount possible from the sale of your prop­ erty? You understand that KNOWLEDGE of the business and EXPERIENCE in the business of conducting auction sales are what count. ( Some one who doesn’t understand this business may offer to conduct your sale at a saving over what a successful auctioneer would charge you. And in selling a horse or a cow or ten sheep, such an auctioneer could lose you more than the differ­ ence between fits charges and those of the success­ ful and efficient auctioneer. It would be dear money you would pay for such an auctioneer. He would lose you many times what you paid him. What is a successful auctioneer. He is one who knows his iob; knows the value of property he offers to sell; who knows the crowd he’s trying to sell to} who KNOWS HOW to get them to bid, and to bid what the property is worth; who works all the time and ON THE SQUARE for the inter­ est of the seller, and to get him the most money for his property.

WHYT 1st—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County, and—Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their homes at times when they have the time and disposition to read them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the ’‘irrepressible kid" soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worth? Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale 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 bounty. They were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared to bid.

We have many car loads ordered but cannot seem to get any as yet. The railroads make promises of delivery soon. But we are abundantly supplied with all grades of SOFT COAL. Our special is the Massilon. You should try it to know how good it is. It burns to a clean ash—no waste. It is a free burning coal, of the best heat-producing quality. We will be glad to have you try it; and if you do you will say that it is the best soft coal you ever used. It is very hard, and as free from dust as hard coal. We thoroughly wet it down after it is weighed, and deliver it at your home without littering up your lawn or parking, and will save aqy dust from sifting up from the coal bin. The growth of our coal business has been phenomenal. We have four wagons now, so we can take care of orders promptly, and can give you excellent service. There seems to be a certainty of a coal shortage this year, and we advise everybody who can to prepare for it by laying in a supply of Coal EARLY. We expect the railroads will deliver us some hard coal later on. And we will be glad to book your orders now for whatever you may need. EDMONDS BROS THK ELEVATOR MEN Hartings, Mich. Timos.

Perfec* tion, as applied to a kitchen range, simply means that it meets every demand and leaves nothing to be desired in the perform­ ance of its mission—cooking and baking. You could not surest a sinfile change in the construction of the incomparable Round Oak Chief Steel Range, which would improve its efficiency in the least. Were any such improvements possible, they would have been made regardless of trouble and expense. As.it is, the Round Oak Chief is absolutely flawless in every'feature. You must see this grand range in order fully to appreciate its many advantages. We can show you to much better than we can here tell you about the Round Oak gray cast iron—the best material ever put into a range top or Are box; the one-piece, round-corner body of Wellsville steel; the duplex grates that permit the usp of any kind of fuel; the big arch topped oven with three times the usual thickness of asbestos l>oard insulation, assuring perfect linking with tbe least amount ol fuel; the per­ fect fit of doors and drafts; the big p-gallon contact reservoir, that permits heating water and baking at the same tjme—these, and other exclusive features of the Round Oak Chief, you cer­ tainly should know about before buying any kind of a kitchen range.

Don’t 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. You take two men who have, worked at the milling .business the same length of time. One of them will take your wheat and con­ vert it into a nice smooth, even quality of flour; the other man will only produce a POOR QUALITY. Why? He doesn’t KNOW HOW. You look at these two different kinds of flour, and you will find that they both look very much alike. In fact the POORER QUAL­ ITY of flour may even LOOK better than the other. Now WHERE is the difference in these two brands of flour? We will tell you. It is simply in the MAKING of the flour. We do KNOW HOW to make the BEST FLOUR. We’ve had 38 YEARS experience in making nothing but French’s White Lily Flour. We have learned a lot of things aboift making flour that you won’t find in books, but they all add to the QUALITY of French’s White Lily. We run day and night; we operate by water power; we have the BEST and NEWEST EQUIPMENT of machinery, to sup­ plement our 38 YEARS experience. Do you wonder, now, that French’s White Lily Flour is the BEST FLOUR made? • Every housewife KNOWS that there is a big difference in flour. She knows from experience that a certain brand of flour may produce good bread one time, the next sack may produce poor bread, and the next sack even worse bread. On the other hand, she knows that a certain other brand of flour always produces, the best kind of bread. She knows that if she uses the same amount of flour; prepares the dough in about the same way; and bakes with about the same degree of*heat; that she will ALWAYS have nice, white, delicious bread, that it is a def.ght to eat. Do you wonder that we like to have the housewives try this ■experiment:—Make a batch of bread from French’s White Lily Flour, and from any other flour you choose. Bake them side by side in the SAME OVEN, at the SAME TIME. We could tell you just what the result will be, but we’ll leave it for you to find out. You’ll think more of French’s White Lily afterwards.

You understand that KNOWLEDGE of the business and EXPERIENCE in the business of conducting auction sales are what count. Some one who doesn't understand this business may offer to conduct your sale at a saving over what a successful auctioneer would change you. And in sellings horse or a cow or ten sheep, such an auctioneer could lose you more than the differ­ ence between his charges and those of the success­ ful and efficient auctioneer. It wotild be dear money you would pay for such an auctioneer. He would lose you many times what you paid him. What ——is a successful -------------------------------auctioneer. He is one who knows his iob; knows the value of property he offers to sell; who knows the crowd he's trying to sell to; who KNOWS HOW to get them to bid, and to what the property is worth; who works all the time and ON THE SQUARE for the inter­ est of the seller, and to get him the most money for his property. I'm not going to make any claims in the auctioneer business. The people of Barry Coanty ought to know whether I am a successful auction­ eer or not for I have cried over 1800 auction sales in this ‘ territory in tbe 11,200,000 of property at auction. That's going some.

Fencing is sold by the manufacturer on short time, about 60 days This quite often makes it necessary for a deal er to go into his own pocket or to some bank for the money to pay for the fence when the bill becomes due. I hav£ taken the chance. I bought a carload of fence just before the advance of two dollars a ton on wire took effect.

With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the “irrepreasible kid” soon put them out of business. At the ver/Sest 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 usua'ly 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 Can Save You Hundreds of Dollars on Coal-Bills We can do it with a Fav­ orite Base Burner. The Favorite will save at least two tons of coal every year it is in use. Two tons of hard coal cost $14.00. If properly taken care of, the Favorite will last at least 25 years. Total saving, $350.00. Perfectly clear, isn’t it, and more than that, perfectly true. The Favorite has features that make it the most wonderful and economical "heating stove in ex­ istence—and these features are all patented. You may now have some other base burner in yourhome. Never mind that. Come to us, and we will exchange it for you, allow you a good price and put in one of the Favorites. You may as well save the priceof two tonsof coal this winter as not, and the Favorite will do it for you. It is the only base burner that will. We will back all of these state­ ments and claims with a person­ ally signed guarantee—put it in black and white if you want it. Place the Favorite in your home. Try it all winter if you want to. If you do not find it just what wa have represented it to be, and what others have found it to be—bring it back. We will refund your money. Ask any other dealer to put their stoves to such a test. They would not dare do it We can, becauseji e know what the Fav­ orite will do, and we know what it has done in scores of homes right here in this vicinity. That is why we can make such a lib­ eral offer and know positively the stove will make good. Come and see us and we wil^ talk it over. Remember, we are willing to let you have the use of the Favorite all winter for notiiing if you do not find every­ thing we have said about it to be true.

Millions of Dollars Are Lost Every Year Through Hog Cholera and Other Stock Diseases Hog Cholera is prevalent in Michigan and in many other states. It has inflicted serious losses in Barry County. Only last week one of the prominent farmers of this community buried 18 hogs, which died of hog cholera, and many other farmers have met with greater or lesser loss through this disease. The susceptibility of the animal to disease depends much upon its condition, general health and surroundings. Any influence, or condition that retards the development of the vital organs, muscular system, or bony structures, IMPAIRS the RESIST­ ING POWER of an animal, just as it does of a human being. On -the other hand anything that tones up the sys­ tem, or improves surrounding conditions,,enables an animal to better RESIST disease or to ward it off entirely. Right here is where DR. HESS' STOCK FOOD • will be of GREAT BENEFIT to every stock grower. Among stockmen throughout the country the virtues of these remedies are recognized as superior to all Others and are universally used. No matter whether your hogs have the cholera or not, as a precautionary measure, here are TWO THINGS that you can do that will either ward off the disease en­ tirely, or lessen its effects. . FIRST—DISINFECT YARDS AND PENS THOROUGHLY SECOND-Give Them DR. HESS' STOCK FOOD According to Directions The best time to fight Hog Cholera, and all 'other animal diseases is BEFORE your stock gets it, and not wait till afterwards.

These complaints concern the September biJis, which many consumers think are too large when compared with the JULY and AUGUST bills. The rates are the same, the meters are the same, the quality of the sprvice is the same—in brief, the Company has done nothing whatever to increase the size of the bills, except to increase the QUANTITY[Of service. But the bills are gener­ ally larger—this we are forced to admit. The Cause Simple Aftex^ Reflection. There is a reason for the higher bills—one over which we have no control—tjie change of season. No one needs to be told that the sun sets much earli­ er in the fall and winter than it does in the spring and summer, and we are not going to tire you with figures from the almanac. It is during September that the shortening of the hours of daylight and the coolness of the evenings, nights and mornings first become pronounced. It becomes necessary to turn on the lights during the evening meal. The family no longer sits out in the yard or on the front porch until near bedtime, The members spend their time indoors, and visitors are entertained indoor —all meaning additional lighting. The children have started to school and gather around the table under the light tostudy their lessons. Surprise Over Higher Bills Only Natural. ■ These are only a few of/ the most apparent reasons which make the September bills higher than the July and August bills. It is only natural that consumers should be surprised at the advance, but if they will think over the subject a few minutes they can easily trace the cause. / He do everything possible to make our bills absolutely accurate.

Telephone 2{2 Telephone 22 FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR IS MADE UNDER EVERY PERFECT CONDITION T HE greatest improvement we ever made was last year, when we ‘‘dumped out” all of our old ma­ chinery and put in a, brand new equipment off everything that is latest and best. The miller who has 20 YEAR OLD MACHINERINn hla mill simply CAN’T make flour ECONOMICALLY or in the BEST WAY, any more than a farmer can take a cradle and compete with a Self Binder. To be sure, it cost us thousands of dollars to make these im­ provements, but as a RESULT of them we are now making the BEST flour that is possible to be made. The improvement in the QUALTII of French’s White Lily has been so marked that agreat many of our patrons have spoken to us about it. But what speaks "louder than words" is the fact that lhe DEMAND for French’s White Lily Flour is GREATER today THAN IT EVER WAS BEFORE. i Our new equipment CLEANS THE WHEAT BETTER and more thoroughly. Our wheat goes through 17 Sets of Rolls, while the ordinary flour only passes through 6 or 8 sets. Each one of our 17 sets of rolls rolls the flour down finer and finer until at last every particle comes out in a perfectly even granu­ lated form. This flour ^bsorbs yeast and water evenly, and as a result your bread, cakes and pastries are baked just the same all the way through. If you haven’t used French’s White Lily within the last yeor' or two, you CANNOT know how good it is NOW, and how much SUPERIOR it is to any other grade of flour you can buy. Why not try a sack of French’s White Lily Flour with your • next order? . MIDDLEVILLE KOLLER. MILLS MIDDLEVILLE 1 j •'">■ —■— --------------— — ■ R. T.

Isn't it your idea, if you have a sale, to get the largest amount possible from the sale of your prop­ erty? You understand that KNOWLEDGE of the business and EXPERIENCE in the business of conducting auction sales arc what count. Some one who doesn’t understand this business 1 may offer, to conduct your sale at a saving over what a successful auctioneer would charge you. And in selling a horse or a cow or ten sheep, such an auctioneer could lose you more than the differ­ ence between his charges and those of the success­ ful and efficient auctioneer. It would be dear money you would pay fof such an auctioneer.' He would lose you many times what^ou paid him. What is a successful auctioneer. He is one who knows his iob; knows the value of property he offers to sell; Who knows the crowd he’s trying to sell to; who KNOWS HOW to get them to hid, ana to bid what the property is worth; who works ' all the time and ON THE SQUARE for the inter­ est of the seller, and to get him the most money for his property.

We know that during the first half of thia month we usually receive more com­ plaints about high bills than during the remaining eleven months of the year put to­ gether. These complaints concern the September bills, which many consumers think are too large when compared with the JULY and AUGUST bills. The rates are the same, the meters are the same, the quality of the’ service is the same—in brief, the Company has done nothing whatever to increase the size.of the bills, except to increase the QUANTITY of service. But the bills are gener- forced to admit. The Cause Sipple After Reflection. There is a reason for the higher bills--one over which we have no pontrol—the change of season. No one needs to be told that the sun sets much earli­ er in the fall and winter than it does in the spring end summer, and we are not going to tire you with figures from the almanac. It is during September that the shortening of the' hours of daylight and the coolnea? of the evenings, nights and mornings first become pronounced. It becomes necessary to turn on the lights during th© evening meal. The family no longer sits out in the yard or on the front porch until near bedtime, The members spend their time indoors, and visitors are entertained indoor —all meaning additional lighting. The children have started to school and gather around the table under the light to study their lessons. Surprise Over Higher Bills Only Natural. These are only a fee of the most apparent reasons vhioh make the September bills higher than the July and August bills. It is only natural that consumers should be surprised at the advance, but if they will think over the subjeot a few minutes they can easily trace the cause. We do everything possible to make our bills absolutely accurate.. An occasional mis­ take is impossible to avoid. db.li M.:. Tslsphons No. B.

It prov­ ed to bo a very enjoyable affair. These good people have won the love and re­ spect of our people during their short stay, and why they were not return­ ed here we do not know, however, as Why Dread The Dentist's Chair Any Longer? I have returned from an extended auto trip through the Eastern nnd Southern states, and you wUl find me again at the office in the Stebbins Block, prepared to do all my work in the dental line on my regular date each week. Are you one of those who DRAED the Dentist's Chair? Banish the thought. For if you will call and see me any Wednesday from »:10 u. m. to 4:00 o'clock p. m.. you will learn that your dread of the dentist's chair was wholly unnecessary. And you will be surprised and pleased at my reason­ able charges for dental work. The old idea of denttatty was to pull every tooth that ached. The up-todate method is to save every tooth that Is possible, tiecause no artificial teeth can be as satisfactory as those that nature has given. My special method is known as the Owens-otar method by which teeth are removed or treated without pain. The crude and painful methods of dental surgery In the past through generations has produced an Inborn dread of having any work done on one’s teeth. This dread is not dispell­ ed by some dentists even to-day. who seem to have little Idea what excru­ ciating pain they can and do cause by their crude and awkward work. But if you will let me do your work you will see how unnecessary It Is to con­ tinue to drend to have dental •work done when you can reach my office on the day when I am In Has­ tings. In SAVING your teeth, or tn ex­ tracting them. I follow the Owensotar method, which I discovered. My method (the Gwcnsotar method) does away with all PAIN. 1 do It by numb­ ing the alveolar process. No drug ta administered and you are perfectly conscious at all times. In short I rob dentistry of all the pain associated with a visit to the dentist's chair. I come to Hastings EVERY WEDNE8DAY. and can bs found in my of­ fices In the STEBBINS BLOCK from 8:88 A. M. to 4 P.M. I have been coming to Hastings one day each week for a long time. I have been kept busy' every minute from ths time I arrive until I leave. I have naturally done a lot of work for people from all parts of the county. If'you want to Inquire about me. and the QUALI­ TY of the work I do. Just ask any of those for whom I have done work.

They are a source of sure, steady and daily income. Good dairy cows are hard to buy but by intelligent selection you can raise them. Get a Babcock Tester and a scale and find out for sure which of your cows are the best. That is the only way. Don't guess at such an important matter. The cow that gives a big lot of milk may be a poor cow from a profit standpoint! It is butter fat not skim milk that MAKES YOU MONEY. Save the calves from the cows you have proven ' best, raise the calf, and build up a herd of profit* able cows. Remember—We are here with you to stay.

Were any such improvements possible, they would have been made regardless of trouble and expense. As it is, the Round Oak Chief is absolutely flawless in every feature. You must see this grand range in order fully to appreciate its many advantages. We can show you so much better than we can here tell you about the Round Oak gray cast iron—the best material ever put into a range top or fire box; the one-piece, round-comer body of Wellsville steel; the duplex grates that permit the use of any kind of fuel; the big arch topped oven with three times the usual thickness of asbestos board insulation, assuring perfect baking with the least amount of fuel; the per­ fect fit of doors and drafts; the big g-gallon contact reservoir that permits heating water and baking at the same timeJ-these, and other exclusive features of the Rouhd Oak Chief, you cer­ tainly should know about before buying any kind of a kitchen range.

It’s one product in which QUALITY is always a dom­ inating factor. In most other lines it’s a question of STYLES. Goods that may be up-to-date this year will be way out-of-date next. The making of flour differs from the making of these other lines in the fact that flour is made to eat, and is really the basis of all living.. The “Style” of flour - never changes and people don’t buy it on account of its looks. The one chief consideration 'of flour is QUALITY—will the flour alwavs make GOOD BREAD; is it ALWAYS THE SAME, and CAN YOU DEPEND UPON IT? Now there’s a big difference in the quality of shoes, cloth­ ing, furniture, etc. Some are better than others, though they may cost no more. Why is this so? ' 1st—It may be made under more favorable conditions. 2d—Through long experience, careful study and thought, or better equipment, aome manufacturer may have gotten onto some methods or knacks that he can make a better product than his competitors, and not have to charge a greater price. Now just stop and think of the extremely favorable Condi­ tions under which FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is made. 1st—It is made in a mill with a complete new equipment, of the latest and best MILLING machinery that money can buy. 2d—It is made in a mill that runs night and day, year in- and year out-insuring EVEN QUALITY. 3d—It is made in a mill that is run by water power, the BEST and steadiest power known. Running steadily, night and day bv water power makes French’s White Lily a flour of SMOOTH EVEN QUALITY. You can’t stop and start flour making machinery every day without LOWERING THE QUAL? ITY of the flour. < 4th—In our 38 years of manufacture of flour we have got­ ten onto many KNACKS that enable us to make the BEST FLOUR in the country for th6 money. When you buy flour, you don’t buy it for sentimental reasons, or because it’s in a pre Dy s&ck, or has a pretty name. YOU BUY IT FOR QUALITY. And that’s why, sooner or later, you are going to buy French’s White Lily Flour. It’s the BEST for the money, and Better right now than it ever has been before. Try it and be convinced.

They were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared to bid.

I have the acceptance of the largest hard coal mining company in the country for 12 cars of hard coal. They promise early deliveries, and I have reason to believe they will deliver for they have for­ warded one car on this order. I will’ fill orders for Hard Coal in the order 1 get them as fast as I can get the coal. tvs.-1 °rd" bst. ,um'ner wilh ,hc Virginia mine which produces the White Ash Soft Coal, which w so popular with my trade, the order covering my fall and winter jcqvirements for this grade. But now they have a strike on at the mine, and I can get no coal at present. The best I can do is to promise coal when I can get it. The large stocK I put in is about gone, owing to the big increase in my coal trade. As . soon as I can get more, 1 will make prompt deliveries. J am stating the situation frankly, because I feel that that is the only fair way to do with my customers. I expect the coal; but cannot promise it until I can get it. I will keep the people advised of what I can do. LUKE WATERS ■uoosssor to l». H. Bsrlow a Co. ,Haatlngs, Mich corner of Gregg ..nd Queen St*. re­ cently vacan-d of the Remington’*.

These complaints concern the September bills, which many consumers think are too large when compared with the JULY and AUGUST bills. The. rates are the same, the meters are the same, the quality of the service $s the same—in brief, the Company has done nothing whatever to increase the size of the 1 bills, except to increase the QUANTITY of eervioe. But the bills are gener­ ally larger—this we are forced to admit. The Cause Simple After Reflection. There is a reason for the higher bills—one over which we have no control—the change of geaeon. No one needs to be told that the sun sets much earli­ er in the fall* and winter than it does in the spring and summer, and we are not going to tire you with figures from the almanac. . It is during September that the shortening of the hours of daylight and the coolness of the evenings, nights and mornings first become pronounced. It becomes necessary to turn on tha lights during the evening meal. The family no longer sits out in the yard or on the front porch until near hedtime, The members spend their time indoors, and visitors are entertained indoor —all meaning additional . lighting. The children have started, to school and gather around the table under the light to study their lessons. Surprise Over Higher Bill. Only Natural. Thea, are only a tew ot the aoet apparent reasons which make the September bllle higher than the July and August bills. It la only natural that consumers should be surprises at the advance, but It they will think over the subject a tew minutes they can easllytraoe.the cause. We do everything poeeible to make our bills absolutely accurate. An occasional mis­ take is impossible to avoid.

Undoubtedly the Dr. thinks It was a bad mix-up. - The One Perfect Range When a thing is perfect it can't be improved upon. Perlee* tion, as applied to a kitchen range, simply means that it meets every demand and leaves nothing to be desiretV in the perform­ ance of it* mission—cooking and baking. You could not suggest a single change in the construction of the incomparable Round Oak Chief Steel Range, which would improve its efficiency in the feast. Were any such improvements possible, they would hav£ been made regardless of trouble and expense. As it is. the Round Oak Chief is absolutely flawless in every feature. You must see this grand range in order fully to appreciate its many advantages. We can show you so much better than we can here tell you about the Round Oak gray cast iron—the best material ever put into a range top or fire box; the one-piece, round-comer body of Wellsville steel; the duplex grates that permit the use of any kind of fuel; the big arch topped oven with three times the usual thickness of asbestos l>oard insulation, assuring perfect baking with the least amount of fuel; the rperfect fit of doors and drafts; the big p-gallon contact reservoir that permits heating water and baking at the same time—these, and other exclusive features ot the Round Oak Chief, you cer­ tainly should know about before buying any kind of a kitchen range. . Come in today—tomortow—any time—and letups give you a peraonal demonatration ot the incompa’able Round Oak Chief--THE RANGE THAT WAS FIRST PRIZE WINNER AT THE ALASKA-YUKONPACIFIC EXPOSITION.

While the men are debating how to “reduce the cost of living” a large proportion of the women of Barry county are actually doing the problem by applying the known facts of their house­ hold experience so as to stretch the family income and to meet the every day requirements of keeping house. These discerning women are not to be lured by pretense; they exercise judgment, and they are increasing the pur­ chasing power of the family income when applied to the things for the home. The steady running of this of mill, night and day, year in and year out, by the steadiest of all oower, water power; the complete new equipment of up-to-theminute milling machinery which we have; our 38 years of milling experience in THIS ONE MILL in the production of flours. All these have enabled us to pro­ duce a flour which, in quality, cannot be surpassed, and whose smooth and even granulation and fineness make a flour that will GO FARTHER, pound for pound, on baking days than other flours. Then there's no waste from bad bak­ ings for French’s White Lily Flour is ALWAYS THE SAME and ALWAYS THE BEST. Why not order a sack if you have not tried it ?

Gives the highest percentage of heat units for minimum amount of fuel. Gives steady, even temperature day or night. Cole’s Hot Blast Draft on top of the fire burns the gas, which is wasted in all other $toves. The down draft forces the heat to the base, which is made of steel and cannot burn out. And this warms the floor. It is so perfectly constructed and applies such scientific principles that fire and heat are readily maintained for all night EVEN WITH THE CHEAPEST SOFT COAL. And the even heat makes all the rooms in the house comfortable. We are prepar­ ed to make good on these strong claims for Cole’s Hot Blast Heater.

WHY! 1st—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County. 2nd—Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their homes at times when they have the time and disposition to read them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS ire saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten-the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. • With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the “irrepressible kid" soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sate was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire Jo 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. THE BANNER’S METHOD al advertising Auction Sales has been endorsed 1st—By the Stste Association of Auctioneers. 2nd—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.

This is the finest grade of soft coal you can get. It burns to a white ash. It is hard, nearly as hard as hard coal. It can be put in your cel­ lar, with our SYSTEM of handling coal with almost no dust, and it will give you MORE units of heat, pound for pound than hard coal. It will look good to you, when the weather tightens up, and you can't get hard coal, and now they have a strike in the West Virginia coal district so that soft coal will be hard to get.

The above and just such other complimentary remarks are being made every day over the high quality ot work that we are turning out in our Dry Dleaning and Pressing department. Ladies suits, coats, skirts ' etc., men’s apparel Jhflt have been discarded because of their soiled and grimed appearanqp can be made to look almost like new, in fact even like new in many cases by our cleaning methods. More wear with the appearance of new can always be secured from garments that are sent to us occasionally to be Dry Cleaned.

In some Instances u yield of :0 bushels to the acre was had. and In one case that we have learned the yield was 100 bushels lo the acre. The crop raised by William Mugridge on the Frank ttanlel* farm one mile from Irving station, resulted In a yield of 30 bushels to lhe acre.

Because II STAND right anil Cole’s Original Hot Blast Heater —by mean# of the patented Hot Blast Draft and other patented features which make it tight, doing away with the use of stove putty—requires less attention than any other heater made. All fuel—Soft Coal, Hard Coal, Lignite, Wood or Corn Cobs—contains a large amount of gas. Fully one-half of the heating power (carbon) in soft coal is gas. This • is the part of the fuel this wonderful heater saves, by burning it with the Top Hot Blast Dreft. This makes Coleys Hot Blast Heater the most satisfactory, the most economi­ cal, the most convenient heater you* can buy. Imitations and other styles of stoves allow this gas-half of the coal to pass up the chimney with the smoke, unborned. Thousands of these stoves are in use and the sale continues to increase year after year. This heater will give you more comfort than you ever thought possible by using any kind of a stove which uses soft coal for fuel. Right ncm is the time to decide and select the sue you should have.

We all want GOOD GOVE^NM^NT and JUST AND EFFICIENT SER­ VICE. There are just as good men in one party as there are in another. Every party has about the same measury of good and bad in its make-up, and do party has lioy monopoly of righteous­ ness. As advocates for parties we all have about the same measure of good and bad, no matter what ' party we belong to. Simply because we cannot see things alike is no reason why we should abuse one another, nor-resort to slander and vinification. It is the duty of every voter to post himielfon.tbe REAL ISSUES of the campaign, by impartial reading and study ol the issues, and then VOTE as he thinks BEST for the country and himself. ^The differences between parties are set forth in platforms. Those differences are important enough without drawing on the im­ agination. They can be discovered in facts, records and the les­ sons of experience, rather than in prejudice, abuse and virulence, which tend to destroy good, sound judgment. No matter what the result, we should accept the will of the majority, and there is no reason why members of all parlies should not be just as good friends, and just as patriotic citizens during the campaign and after election as we were before. lighting which there.

Mrs. Bernard Black entertained the Rick* Eckard! *n*nt frieod* In Maple Gove. Quality more than anything else is the keynote of our store policy. When you get quality, you get every thing else. We learned the lesson long ago that goods of inferior quality no matter how attractive and alluring price might be, were dear at any price. Many times we have been urged to consider the purchase of a lot of merchandise because the price was a little below the standard; invariably have we found that the goods, too, were below the standard. It has been our experience that quality merchandise sells at about the same price the world over, and that the person who is continually taking price into consideration to the exclusion of quality pays a very dear price. Standard marchandise at the standard price is always satisfactory, and should it noa be the buyer will always find the seller ready to make it so.

To many people a fur 4s JUST A FUR and all furs taken from the same kind.of animal look alike to them. Right there is where the biggest kind of a mistake can be and is made. THE CONDITION of a fur. is largely gov­ erned BY THE TIME WHEN IT IS TAKEN FROM THE ANIMAL. There’s a RIGHT TIME for the removing of the fur from an animal. And when it's taken at that time, the fur is WORTH TEN TIMES AS MUCH as if taken at any other time. THE FURRIER KNOWS the right 'time, and if he's a reliable manufacturer, he WILL NOT BUY aJur if it 1s taken out of Its proper season. Dealing as we do with the Largest Furriers in this country, people who cannot afford to send out goods that are not right, people who GUARANTEE their goods, we-are in position to serve all people who want furs and GUARANTEE THE FURS and make LOW PRICES for our Special Fur Sale. . , -J'll).

War: A TRUE STORY Everybody told me I had made a mistake when I sold out my formter business in which I had done well, and later cn purchased a Bakery and Restaurant in which there seemed to be little doing. But while thankful to my many friends for their interest in me, and I know they were entirely sincere, I felt quite sure that I knew what I was doing. I made no rash promises, but got busy at once. First, I built up the restaurant part of the business by supplying good, home cooking and plenty of it. The empty tables began to fill up with transients and boarders, and I have had a steady, excellent patronage right along, all I could get help and room to care for. The success gained in this department led to a determination to do the same in the Bak­ ery Department To be sure I was told repeat­ edly “You never can make a bakery that will have a large business in Hastings. Nobody ever Mid, dhd there's "no Use trying. Stick .to the restaurant and let the bakery go.” But I didn’t believe that the |>eople of Hastings were fo different from other folks that they would .not.liberally patronize a bakery if I produced the kind of baked goods they wanted. So I be­ gan to take a personal intent in the bakery. I made an exploring tour through the base­ ment wiiere the oven was located. I wouldn’t like to tell all. that I found. But when I got through with the hard work of piyself and sev­ eral men, I had a CLEAN bake shop. I repair- • ed the oven, and ppt it in a'Shape to do baking. Then I hired the BEST BAKER I could find. I bought the BEST flour, and materials of all kinds, and told him to shejw what he could do. And he did. I told him I wanted him to make the kind of bread that “mother used to make"— the good old POTATO BREAD. Well, he proved that he was “Johnny on the spot,” for he delivered the goods. Well, we have been adding and ADDING to our OVEN capacity ta meet the demand for HASTINGS POTATO BREAD. Our product­ ion of bread has doubled several times, till now we are up against the oven again. It'simply cannot turn put enough bread to meet my grow­ ing trade. And in the meantime I have added a large lipe of PASTRIES on which I have a growing trade. In other words, my business has outgrown _the capacity of.my bake shop. I had planned to do something next year. But ’ that isn’t soon enough. I must do something right NOW. And I’M DOING IT. It's too long a story for one time, but I’m telling you that I’m busy with changes in my bake shop that will permit me to DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY AND THEN SOME. Meantime, we are making Hastings Potato Bread of the same high quality as ever, and saving people the lime, the worry an^I the work of baking at homt. If you are not using Hastings Potato Bread now, you will be, so you had tetter begin NOW, for "It's made clean, baked clean and sold clean" haps unconsciously enjoyed. with Mrs. Myron Shorten Thursday.

This is a PERSONAL QUESTION While your vote affects the welfare of every man. woman and child in this land, yet the question for you to decide is, what is best for YOU? —Dki-you ever slop to think that if every voter in the United Stales selfishly cast his vote for the men and things which would bring him the greatest PERSONAL PROFIT, that the NET RESULT would be of greatest benefit to the MA­ JORITY? This is true, isn’t it? Then is to sit the most you will the thing for you to do right now down and figure out just what is profitable thing for YOU. Then have decided, indirectly, what is most profitable for the nation. You live in Michigan. For the past four years you have faced tonditions which are cither conducive to your PROSPER­ ITY and HAPPINESS or you have been confronted by conditions that beckon HARDSHIP and DISAPPOINT­ MENT. President TAFT has for over three years guided the ship of state over a course and according to charts accepted by Republicans as moyt likely to land the PEOPLE safely into the harbor of peace, contentment, material happiness and pros­ Although the day’s work is one hour LESS, the day’s wage is nearly ONE DOLLAR MORE.

The price of wheat in 1894 was ^53^ cents:'NOW it is $1.06. Com WAS 36 cents while PRESENT quotations are 66 cents per bushel. Oats, barley, rye. hay, butter, cbeese, eggs, and milk have nearly doubled in value. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine lave greatly increased—nearly doubled—in value. y\nd conditions throughout the entire country compare with those of Michigan. The amount of money in circulation has increased approximately $3 for every manj woman and child in the United States dur­ ing the Taft administration. < The total bank clearings increased from $138,823,000,000 during Roosevelt's ad­ ministration to $153,369,000,000 under Taft rule. . t The total amount deposited in banks under three years of Roosevelt was $11.­ 667,000,000. During three years of Taft’s occupancy of the White House they amounted to $14,531,000,000. Would you change? Let us determine just what progress has been made under a Republican adminis­ tration. not by rehearsing 'fulsome generali­ ties about shops running full time, mines operating all shifts, factories working to capacity, workingmen getting high wages and the fanner receiving higher prices, but by producing' FACTS and FIGURES.

In 1894' there were 2,325 factories in the state, employing 68,591 males and 11,­ 787 females. Now there are 9,456 fac­ tories in operation: employing 303,524 males and 52,777 females. This is a total of OVER A QUAR­ TER MILLION MORE people actually employed in Michigan now than in 1894. Wages? Do you know that those employes re­ ceived an average of $2.23 per day in 1911? And do you know that the aver­ age daily wage was $1.28 in the dark days of 1894? Do YOU want a change?

AUCTION SALE □nonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnHnnnnnn The BANNER'S method of advertising Auction Sales has been universally endorsed by the people of Barry County and by tho»e living in adjoining counties who know how thoroughly the BANNER covers Barry County. We have testimonials from many of our patrons who realized from $100 to $700 more than they expected from their Auctio^lales. Large Crowd* Are Always Present and Bidding Is Lively. WHY? 1st—Because the BANNER is read in nearly every home in Barry County. 2nd—Because the Auction Sale advertisements are read by the men in their homes at times when they have the time and disposition to read them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered.. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the “irrepressible kid” soon, put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to be held. As a result but a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less than they were worth. Bidding was slow and articles sold cheap. BANNER Auction Sale 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. THE BANNER'S METHOD of advertising Auction Sales has boon endorsed 1st—By the State Association of Auctioneers. • and—By aH 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 succeaafully 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 suggestion* will mean larger and better results from your sate.

He appears to have been an un­ usually Intelligent and conscien­ tious man, for a Spanish offi­ cial, and to havo been waranted in the delay. But the fiery Jackson waa not the waiting sort.

This will be from an economic standpoint, the most important election that has ever been held in this country. For that reason the need is very urgent for especial thoughtfulness and care RIGHT NOW in the decision which the voter willniakc as to how he shall fast his ballot.

They are intel­ ligent enough to reach their own concltudoi^s with their own reasoning powers. But We believe they will not take amiss some suggestions from dis as to what may be well for them to consider in reaching their conclusions as txa how they shall vote. (l) Barr)' Co. is)largely a farming countR-. Will the farmers of Barry Co. be helping their qwn intcrcsirby voting directly or indwectly to place in .power in this country a dem­ ocratic admfistraton, when that party in its platform in 1912 declares that a PROTEC­ TIVE TARIFF IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and uses almost the identical language, .in speaking of the tariff, which the same party‘s platform used in 1892? We all know what happened to- farm-product values in the four; years of democratic administration which followed. Think it over. . (2) There is considerable manufacturing done in Barry Co., andJat least I..000 hands are so employed, and iwany more arc employed outside of. factories. Will jobs become more plentiful, and wa£es‘’better? Or will the "change” to “tariff for revenue only" work disastrously as it did from 1893 to 1897, if the tariff-for-revenuc party shall succeed this year? Think it over. , ■' (3.) The American people have no right, and would show great unwisdom to hesitate about making a “change” in their government, or in its financial or industrial policies, IF in their deliberate judgment such a change will benefit the people. A change may-be for the better. If so it ought to be made. But a change may result in great danjage' to our in­ dustrial life. The CHANGE made in 1892, surely HARMED our people from 1893 to 1897, and a change MIGHT do so again. The PROPERTY LOSSES in that four years of dry rot and panic were LARGER THAN FOR THE FOUR YEARS OF OUR CIVIL WAR. And that was because the CHANGE IN 1892 made capital timid so that it re­ fused investment; made business men RETRENCH INSTEAD OF EXTENDING their enterprises; put LABOR OUT OF EMPLOYMENT and drove the laborer to the SOUP HOUSES; cut the values of farn> products and domestic animals from one-third to one-half of what they were in 1892; and depreciated all kinds of property. May the his­ tory of the four years that followed the election and prosperous times of 1892 repeat itself in the history of the four years that shall follow the election and prosperous times of* 1912? If it should, then it will be calamitous.’And those who voted for a “change” in 1912' would regret their action as keenly as those who in 1892 voted to make the "change" that turned prosperity into a wasteful four years of panic. Think it over. (4.) Many voters, particularly many laboring men, have been dis|x>sc«l to vote for, a CHANGE because of the HIGH COST OF LIVING. Would it not be well for such men to INVESTIGATE the high cost of living proposition. They will find that it is NOT an American problem aline but IS A WORLD PROBLEM, one that is more keenly felt in England, Germany and France than it is in the United States. That prob^in cannot be solved by'political action. And in any event. Isn't the man WITH A STEADY JOB AT GOOD WAGES in a better position to nieet that problem than he would be if dis­ turbed economic conditions hrougjit about a suspension of our industries' DID THE LOW COST OF LIVING FROM 18)3 TO j897 HELP THE LABORING MAN WHO COULD NOT GET A JOB. OR HELP tY<JE MAN WHO HAD TO WORK FOR SMALL WAGES AND ONLY A PART OF THE TIME? It is possible for the pc..pkto bring on a much worse condition by voti’flg for a change on account of the high com of living. Think it over. >. (5.) The important thing for every voter is to/THINK IT OVER before casting his vuti'. And when the majority Shall have registered its will next Tuesday, all good citi­ zens should ACCEPT THE RESULT IN GOOD FAITH and BE JUST AS GOOD FRIENDS AFTER THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER AS WE WERE BEFORE. If the de­ cree of the majority shall prove to be a mistaken action, as it was in 189J, we must all share the unfortunate conscquenjces. If a "change"^ shall be voted November 5, and it shall prove to be one that shall bring happy results, all will share in the benefits, whether they favored or opposed the change. So we had best all be good tempered, kindly and fair with one an­ other, and recognize our mutual right to such views of political action as may appeal'to our own convictions of right and duty. BUT ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE DUTY WE OWE EACH OTHER, OUB COUNTRY AND OURSELVES TO "THINK IT OVER." NOVEL HOME-TALENT ■.

Lulu CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY mean to YOU, Mr. Farmer? The theory,of Single Taxers is that the land should bear all^lie expenses of government; that buildings should not be taxed because that penalizes improvements. « ** This means that all the great buildings in the cities would be relieved from taxation and . that YOUR farm ami that of your comrade ag­ . riculturahsts would have to bear all the bur­ den of taxes. , . Do yon want.this -condition? -How about SOCIALISM ? . Do you believe in the socialist propaganda? Remember the experience of Flint, where two years ago a‘Socialisujvas elected Mayor , ' atf<l kiAcn other Socialist, aldermen. Last spring it was necessary for ALL other parties to combine in order to defeat the Socialists for. re-election. .The same was true in Milwaukee, where a Socialist was elected Mayor and a So­ cialist, congressman. The Socialists urge that all productive prop­ erty should be owned by the State and oper­ ated for the benefit of all the people. This means your, farm and the singje tax is a weap­ on by which the Socialists would so burden you as to force you to give up your farm to the State. , Socialism and Single tax need radical votes. Farmers arc not radicals, but sensible, think­ ing men. The Socalists must then turn to the cities''/or radical support. . Tljo'citics of Michigan now have as many voters as have the fanners. The Socialist's who thrive only in cities would more than double- tfteir vote by. woman’s suffrage, be­ cause they have large families and because their women folk are even more zealous for , Socialism than the male Socialists. They campaign on the streets with their men. ^Farmers, for your own sakes; beware how you double the votes of the cities and the So­ cialists. Beware^ Woman's Suffrage and .

Don’t tell the gro­ cer “Send up a sack ol flour” when your wife tells you to order flour. Flour Isn’t just flour. It’s the cornerstone of a happy home, or lhe rock that wrecks the happiness of a home. If you haven’t been particular about what flour then it’s unreasonable for you to complain if the bread is poor and the pastry is unpalat­ able. Be particular when you order flour. Be particular enough to order French’s White Lily Fl Mir. Youcannotdoa better thing for your home, nor a more helpful thing for your wife. French’s White Lily Flour is made from the best selected grain, in a mill that has WHITE a complete new equipment of the latest and best flour-making machinery; a mill that is operated night and day by water power, the steadiest power known. That insures a perfect flour. French’s White Lily Flour is another name for Flour Perfection. You insure good wholesome bread and pastry when you order French’s White Lily Flour. A Word to Wives There can be no doubt that it is discourag­ ing, gfter you have dbne "your very best, and done all that was necessary to, to have a batch of poor bread to show for your labor. • self, or put the blame on “Pool* Luck.’’ In all CRYSTAL CREAMERY COMPANY Flour probability It’s Poor Flour that’s made yap the trouble and disappointment. French’s White Lily Flour is a flour that puts luck out of business in bread making. It’s so perfectly milled and made from the best bread, with ordinary knowledge and skill in bread making. If you have Baking Troubles, the chances are that the ^cause is poor flour. You have no right to condemn yourself as a poor bread maker. Try French's White Lily Flour and you will be convinced that you have been unjust to yourself. There’s more of it used in Barry Go. that of all other flours com­ bined, and could you ask for better proof of its fondness when we’ve been making it right here or 38 years?

In practically every straw vote taken in every section of the nation, the race for the presidency is clearly shown to be between Roosevelt and Wilson. Taft is a poor third everywhere. To vote for Taft is to vote for Wilson. Do you want free trade? Wasn’t Roosevelt a great president? If not, why did the republican party, four years agb, endorse the administration of Theodore Roosevelt as marking the very highest point in efficiency, and prosperity since the civil war? Why was Roosevelt so good then and as the republicans say, not now? If Taft has made good why is there, such a de­ mand all over the country to have him removed? Don’t the people know whom they want? Or must they be madejo want whom the politicians say? The politicians may do the nominating, but the people do the voting. The men whose pictures are given below are entitled to every Roosevelt vote in this county. They are working and fighting for Roosevelt. Their opponents on the other tickets are working and fighting against Roosevelt. Stand squarely, Roosevelt men, and make it a new deal all through. . - Is It A Landslide For Roosevplt? ’ ^^Strsw vote at Seeger Machine Factory, Mnsing, Mich.: Roosevelt Taft... Debs. Wilson..

The treasures of that- day have been TRANSFORMED into USEFUL WEALTH by the tilling of lhe soil of many rich farms, the operation of mines, the building of factories and railroads. lhe best economic conditions in lhe indus­ trial world can possibly make farm produce VALUABLE. It is the protected work­ ingman's demand and his ABILITY TO PAY for the necessities of life that make the crops worth harvesting. . And the farmer in IS Michigan prosperous. The Protective policy of the REPUB­ LICAN PARTY (has made this trans­ formation of wealth possible. The protec­ tion afforded the farmer and the industries has kept the proud boast on lhe great seal. The aggregate wealth of the state today must be figured in billions. The assessed valuation, only a portion of the total actual wealth of the state, is nearly TWO BILLION DOLLARS. NoAr, it has never YET -been necessary to change Michigan's motto. But ONCE .in 50 years did it seem PROBABLE lhe words would turn to' empty jest. Thaiwas in the days of 1892-1896 under lhe tariff policy of the Democratic party. During the brief period following lhe rise of .lhe Democrats to power in national affairs, Prosperity was working on half time at about half pay. The value of farm property alone in Michigan dropped over FORTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. No trifling sum. But the people soon returned the Repub­ lican party to power. What effect did Protection have on farm values? According to the U. S. census of 1910, the value of ALL Michigan farm property increased, under Protection, in ten years FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. That's an increase of 57.7 per cent Due to other causes, you may say. Strange, is it not, that farm property values in this state should DROP front approximately $648,000,000 in'1890 to $603,000,000 immediately after the passage of the Democratic tariff? Then, is it not peculiar that, with the REPEAL of the measure, values should begin a STEADY RISE, increasing $86,000,000 in six years and $400,000,000' in the following ten years? ’ In 1909—Ran last census report avail­ able—-his corn crop was worth nearly thirty million dollars; hay, thirty-six millions; oats, eighteen millions; wheat, sixteen millions, and rye, four million dollars. Read those figures over again. astounding. They are The average value of farm land in this state, per acre, has increased $0.36 in the past -decade. * How closely the entire industrial life of lhe state responds to the changes in the welfare of the farmer is shown by the fact that now, under Republican rule, there are 7,000 MORE FACTORIES in Michi­ gan. employing a QUARTER MILLION MORE PEOPLE at a 40 per cent HIGHER WAGE than in 1894. These figures give some idea of the wealth YOU may see by simply "looking around.” Are YOU going to DISTURB this prosperity? Place Michigan's wealth in JEOPARDY? Do YOU want to lhe chance? take Would YOU vote deliberately to return to the conditions of 1896? Or will you vote the Republican ticket and LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE? Would you conserve and protect the \vealth of the great state of Michigan you see all around you—the wealth that is represented, not alone, in graniries and fac­ tories and mines and storehouses, but the wealth portrayed in the happy countenance of the children of well-paid workers and the wealth represented in comfortable homes and contented families?

EDWARDS, CJwk �Do You Want a Next Tuesday (Nov. 5) will occur one of the most important elections ever held in this country. Two great principles are at stake. The Republican Party believes in continuing the present policy of “Protection,” under which the country has prospered as never before. The Democratic Party believes in a “Tariff for Revenue Only,” which brought disaster to this country twenty years ago. ' " <•. i®_. * "Dinghy” Tariff Law, which was based on “Protection to American Industry.” Idle factories at once commenced to resume operations, la­ bor was re-employed, and from t8o,’ up V» the present hour good prices, prosperity and happiness have pre'ailed. Business was never better; wages never higher or in greater demand. Factories are running full time: railroads are Crowded with traffic: bank deposits arc rapidly in­ creasing: everybody is busy ami hopeful. L’p until 1892. under the Republican policy of Protection good wages,, farr prices, prosperity and happiness prevailed- in this country. Jn 1892. for the first time since the Civil war, the Democratic party e.rcted its President ami had control of lioth the United States Senate ami Confess. For the first time, it was able to absolutely CONTROL legislatiA. We herewith print the Tariff plank of the Democratic party ■ in 1892. That Tariff plank was enacted into law in the Wilson Bill ot 1893, which dosed down our factories, ruined bu'sTn’bss, and ‘depre^cd agriculture, until it was succeeded by the Dingley Bill, based on "Pro­ tection,*’ in 1897. ’ _ In a paralk-l column Uc give the Tariff plank of the Democratic platform of 1912.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM 1892. " DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM 1912. "We declare it to be the fun­ damental principle of the Demo­ cratic party that the Federal Government has no constitution­ al power to impose and collect tariff dutiaa, except for the pur­ pose of revenue only, and we de­ mand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the ne­ cessities of the Government when honestly and economically ad­ ministered." . “We declare it to be a funda­ mental principle of the Demo­ cratic party that the Federal Government under the constitu­ tion, has no right to collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of gov­ ernment honestly and economi-, cally administered.” Every voter who passed through the years 1893-1897 will recall the poverty, distress. Soup-houses aud Coxcy's Army. Industry was dead; commerce was at a stand-still, and the products',pf the farm sold for little, if any, above tljc cost to produce them. Banks were busted; THREE MILLIONS of men were idle: TEN MILLIONS of children were hungry. In the cities were "bread lines" a mile long, and Soup­ houses were everywhere. Homes were plastered with mortgages, apd no one was making any money. In 1892 there were THIRTEEN MILLIONS of voters m this country. In 1912 there will be over SIXTEEN MILLIONS of voters. This means that 20 PER CENT of the voters, eligible to vote this year, were too young in 1892 to rcjall that 4 YEAR period ol panic ami distress from i&JJ-ify/. only as they read about it. or are informed by others. For tliat reason, the young men who will cast their voles for .the first time this jyar. diould KNOW what it MEANS to overthrow the Tariff system of this country before they vote to do it. In 1897 the Republi'tin party was again placed in complete control outlie government, and at a special session of Congress enacted the Why Make a Change ?

I for the country and for himself, he should vote and work (or Prof., Wil­ son's election. . . On the other hand, if any voter,-Republican or Democrat, honest­ ly believes that a “Protective^ policy in necessary (or the prosperity of this country,lhe should vote for President^Taft, the nominee of the Re­ publican party. The isue is plainly drawn between the parties. ' With a split in the ranks of the Republican party this year, the only thing that can prevent the election of Prof. Wilson-and a free trade Congress throughout, is for republicans and ALL BELIEVERS IN A PROTECTIVE TARIFF, to "GET TOGETHER" and rally unit­ edly to the support of the-republican ticket. IT IS A QUESTION OR "PRINCIPLES" AND NOT MEN. Some people have criticised President Taft. It is easy.to criticise. Doubtless he has made mistakes as every President has. and as ever/ President will, but let tfs not overlook A SOME THNGS PRESIDENT TAFT HAS DONE. Abraham Lincoln made the BEST Tariff speech ever recorded when he summed up the whole proposition in these few words:— "I do not know much about'the Tariff, but I knoW thia much:— When we buy agricultural and manufactured goods abroad, we get the goods and the foreigner gets the money. When we buy agricultural and manufactured goods at home we get BOTH the goods and the money." . There is no “mystery” about politics. 'Politics is public business. If we want similar condition^, wages, and prices that prevailed in 1893­ 97. the success of the Democratic ticket, and the carrying out of the Democratic Tariff for Revenue glattorm will surely bring them, because "like causes produce like effect. We all want PROSPERITY and GOOD TIMES to continue. If any voter. Republican or Democrat, honestly believes that a "Tariff IX Revenue < Inly" jtolicy. which wc halt in 1893-97 is the best policy He has secured Postal Savings Banks. We have one in Hastings. He has secured a Parcels Post, and after January 1st, packages will be delivered to you by mail at' a greatly reduced cost. This raw is of more practical benefit to you than a hundred "promis­ es/ and destroys the monopoly of the Express Companies. He revised the tariff without interrupting business, and there are tpore people at work today than ever before in the history of our country. . He has prosecuted more Trusts in three years than his predeces­ sor did in seven and a half years. He secured laws to protect rail­ way men through compelling railroads to use safety appliances. He has secured increased pen­ sions for old soldiers. He ha| opposed child labor by creating a bureau to expose those who practice it. He has opposed Peonage, which is practical slavery, by prosecuting those responsible for it—the men "higher up." He advocated a Federal Work­ ing Men's Compensation Law, | but a democratic Congress de­ feated it. * L He has vetoed FOUR low Tar­ iff bills which put manufactured goods on the free list and kept the tariff on raw materials. Such laws would close our factories and open those of foreign countriea. He has been economical witl^F your money and has reduced the cost of government THIRTYFIVE MILLION DOLLARS. He found a DEFICIT of over FIFTY-EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS and has turned it in­ to a SURPLUS of over THIR­ TY-SIX MILLION DOLLARS. He appointed a Board of Ex­ perts to install a "Business Sys­ tem” in the Government Depart­ ments. It is estimated that this will save enough in a few years to pay the entire cost of the Pa­ nama Canal. Under his administration hun­ dreds of millions of dollars have been expended on the Panama Canal without a suspicion of fraud or graft. ’ Under previous administrations there .was an annual deficit of millions\pf dollars in the Postoffice Department.. It was found after investigation that the government was making great profit out of two cent and one cent stamps, but was losing millions on the train loads of magazines sent by mail on long hauls under a postal charge of one cent a pound, and which was costing several times that. President Taft proposed to make magazines pay their just share by increasing the rate. This brought upon him the disfaVor of the Magazine Trust, and magazines generally have opposed him bitterly. Frank Munsey, the refuted head of the magazine trust, who is said to control 25 magazines, admitted before the Senate Investigating Committee that he contributed upwards of $100,000 for lhe election of a rival candidate. Can you see WHY the magazines oppose Taft?

It must be made from grain and by milling machinery. Thia mill has lhe BEST milling machinery that is made. We buy the BUST GRAIN grown in this section. All my life-lias been spent in flour mills, and my father was a miller before me. When anyone says there’s a better winter wheat flodr he's saying what a test will show isn't true, and what your experience will show isn’t true. . There isn't a better winter wheat flour than PURITY flour, and the demand for it is growing. Order it of your grocer. We exchange 40 pounds of Purity Flour for a bushel of good wheat.

Jswalsr and Optician CRYSTAL CREAMERY COMPANY THE WOMEN F OLK KNOW THAT FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR IS THE BEST The proof of that statement is the fact that there is more French’s White Lily Flour sold in Barry Co. than of all other flours combined. The women folks have seen other brands of flours with attractive names and gaudy sacks flashed onto the market. They have come and done.

WILL YOU COMPARE FRENCH’S WHITE LILY WITH ANY OTHER We have invited and continue to invite the most thorough tests of French/s White Lily Flour by the housewives of Barry Co. Such tests are not needed in the homes when French’s White Lily is regularly used —and there is more French’s White Lily Flour used in Barry Co. than all other flouts combined, •» But if in YOUR HOME you are not using French’s White Lily Flour, we ask you to give it a thorough trial, and are satisfied that, if you will, you will become as strong in your friendship for it as are those who have used it for years. It wins its own way. .. Most any flour mill, equipped with flour making machinery can make the COMMON flour that you find on the market. But it takes a mill equipped with the BEST and MOST MODERN flour making ma­ chinery to make the "BEST FLOUR. That we have at this mill. Money cannot buy a better equipment, for it isn’t made. The conditions under which we produce flour are as nearly perfect as p ssible. We buy the BEST GRAIN, make it into flour with the BEST MACHINERY operated NIGHT AND DAY with WATER POWER the Steadiest Power known. These are conditions that pro­ duce a perfect flour. Perhaps you think you are using a good flour because you’ve been told that it is good, and possibly it may be a good flour. But why not try the BEST flour, a flour that is made under the conditions’we have "named; a flour that has 38 years of successful experience behind it; a flour that is the perfect product of the highest skill und best machinery in flour making?

The Alasonic lodge of Hastings had We have a PRIDE in our business. Our AIM from the very outset, was to give the people of Hastings and Barry County just as GOOD, and just as CLEAN, and SANITARY a Bakery, as any city of this size in Michigan could boast of. We have a Baking Department now, which we will be pleased to show anyone through at any time. Our aim is to keep our Baking Department just as CLEAN and SANITARY at ALL TIMES as the most careful housewife would keep her kitchen, and to prepare our bakings JUST AS CLEANLY as she could possibly do. Located in the basement, as we formerly were, this was IMPOSSIBLE to do, because the ah­ is always stifling in any basement; the ventilation of basements is always bad; the light always poor; and dust and dirt always the plentiest. It was to GET AWAY from these conditions that we decided to establish our Baking' Department in the SECOND STORY of our building where CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT. Among other things we have installed a BRAND NEW "Middleby”Oven, the BEST standard oven on the market which has a capacity of . . . 14003718 3000 PER DAY This practically DOUBLES our capacity and we can do the work BETTER'and QUICKER.

USE FRENCH’S FLOUR AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR FLOUR BILLS The BEST machinery and “KNOWING HOW” to use it are ABSOLUTELY neeessary for making the BEST product of any kind, no matter whether its furniture, wool boots, car-seals, flour or anything else. In this mill you will find a COMPLETE milling equipment. Every machine is here that is necessary in making the BEST FLOUR, and making it ECONOMICALLY. .And every machine is BRAND NEW, and of the latest and best model.* There is not a mill in Ulis country that has better or more modern machinery. With our equipment we make flour BETTER than other mills can do, and we make it at a LOWER COST. For that reason we are able to sell you French’s White Lily Flour at the same price you have to pay fur other flours of INFERIOR QUALITY. In other words we sell you flour of a FAR BETTER QUALITY at no increase of price to you. That means that you get BETTER VALUE for your money. And when it comes to “knowing how” to make the BEST FLOUR, our 38 years of experience in making nothing but French's White Lily Flour has taught us a great many “knacks*'that can be learned in no other way excepting by long Experience. We have the best of skilled employees; we carefully watch EVERY DETAIL-in the manufacture from the time the wheat enters the cleanersand polishers, until the manufactured product is placed in sacks, and is already to use. j Wi cannot afford to overlook any detail, because during the 38 yearTthat we have been making French’s White Lily Flour, it has won a reputation for its SUPERIOR QUALITY that is a valuable ASSET to this mill. If we attempted to lower the quality to cut down the cost, the reputation of French’s White Lily Flour, which has taken years of hard work to build up, would suffer, and WE WOULD BE THE LOSERS. We operate this mill under every favorable condition. By running 24 hours every day it enables us to produce flour at the lowest possible cost and at the same time guarantees ever}' user, the smoothest and most even quality that it is possible for any mill to make. Owning our own water power plant and lighting systems enable us to still further GUT DOWN THE COST. ' The savings that we make in manufacturing weuse m improving QUALITY. . That’s why French’s White Lily Flour is BETTER than any other you can buy, and why you are able to buy it at the same price you would have to pay for an inferior quality. Why not order a sack the next time you buy flour? Give it a fair trial. You will find it to be even better than the claims we make for it. Middleville Roller Mills MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN R. T.

The farm is aU gently rolling, the soil is a productive sand, gravel and muck loam, there are about 45 acres under cultivation including 10 acres of good clover, bal­ ance of the farm is excellent pasture and wood lot. A beautiful creek crosses the farm at a point that gives it great value for stock purposes. At present the farm is carrying about 13 head of cattle, in addition to much other stock and fertility is' being maintained. The place is well fenced, has plenty of all kinds of fruit, good well and cistern. The house has eight rooms in fine shape and could not b£ duplicated for $1300.

' | WHITE LILY Is The BEST Made=but costs you no more than the Poorer Kind There are TWO ways of cutting down the COST of manufacturing an ar­ ticle. 1st—By using CHEAPER materials, instead of (hose that COST MORE MONEY. , 2nd—The other way is to LOWE If the COST pf manUfacture*by putting in the best and most modem machinery—machinery that will do MORE work, and BETTER work in the same length of time. The concern that adopts the first method, and uses cheaper materials to cut down the cost MUST LOWER the “QUALITY” of its goods. We will never do this. In the manufacture of flour we adopted the 2nd plan. We have over­ looked nothing that would enable us to CUT DOWN THE COST in any one of the departments of making flour. Owing to the many improvements in flour­ making machinery within the past few years, we found that we could LOW­ ER THE COST of making flour, by dumping out all of the machinery in our mill and putting in the newest and latest improved models. The result was that we threw out EVERY MACHINE in our mill. The equipment that we threw out was better than you would find in nine out of ten mills in this country, but when it came to EFFICIENCY it was no comparison to what the most modern equipment would do. It cost us a good many thousands of dollars to make the change and prac­ tically re-build our mill. The new machinery that we put in does much MORE WORK and much BETTER WORK in the same length of time than the old machines, which we threw out, could possibly do. The result is that we have CUT DOWN the COST of making the BEST QUALITY of flour to the lowest possible notch. / . French’s White Lily Flour TO-DAY is of a much BETTER QUALITY than it ever was before, but owing to our economies in manufacture we have not increased the price to the consumer. You don’t have to pay any more money for French’s White Lily than you do for any ordinary brand of flour. The quality of your baking will be just in proportion to the quality of the flour you use. Now there are THREE kinds of flour—the FOOR flour; the MEDIUM or ordinary.flourf and the BEST floyr. These are the THREE kinds. Which kind are you using? If your bakings are poor, or if they vary m nxnJB,, ..r... U <* ♦ L* I r* rl fl/.iir VAII n ra nainnr • Why not cut out all doubt about it and use French’s White Lily Flour, the BEST flour made, and which will cost you no more than the poor, or the medium kind, r Every sack of French’s White Lily means BETTER VALUE for your money.

THANKSGIVING COFFEE There is no one thing about tour Thanksgiving dinner that is more important than to serve a choice cup ot col fee. The ROASTING and BLENDING of coffee is an —art—and the man who can do it RIGHT is an Artist. The big coffee houses pay a princely salary to the man who knows how to properly roast and blend coffee. And the roasted and blended product is put in sealed cans IMMEDIATELY, so that it retains the delicious coflee aroma and' flavor. We have COFFEES that represent tbe perfection of the coffee roasting and blending art. We call parti­ cular attention to our RICHELIEU coffee. We will let you judge of its merits. We urge ?ou to give it a trial. It goes farther, and so costs no more than in­ ferior blends. Baht.

About 1850 a Chinaman at Nanking named Hungsewtsluen founded a society which ho called "God-Worshipers," In op­ position to Confucianism, the state religion. It soon camo Into collision with the Imperial au­ thorities, and the uprising be­ came known as tho Talplng re­ bellion. Tho most peculiar thing about It was. tho women were as actlvo as tho men In the (nilItary operations. It Is said that a largo army of women was raised and formed Into bri­ gades of 13,000 women each, with female officers. Of each brigade 10,000 were picked Women and drilled In garrison duty. Tho root were compelled to do tho drudgery, as building breastworks, digging trenches, erecting batteries, etc. The reb­ els hold the city of Nanking till 1884. with Hungsewtsluen, called “the Heayenly King,** ae ruler.

The Holiday Spirit O'hat &)ill Appeal to Practical People We want to make December of this year, the banner month in the history of this store* We have enjoyed a good business, but we want to "clean tip” our stock thoroughly, turn the goods into money, and do it all before inventory time, which will soon be here. We bought heavily of suitable and practical things for gift-giving, making Christmas shopping at this store both easy and economical. Every department is imbued with the Christmas spirit, and our stock is larger end more varied than ever before. Nothipg else that comes within the range of gilt giving so univerM,ly pleases. • . . Nothing else is so generally given—nothing else so completely voices the spirit of Christmas, Of course there are many sorts of Jewelry displays. Some are more comprehensive than others. .Some show-'greater taste in designing than others. Some are more "Christmasy ' than others. We are not going to make any comparisons—except to say that we really believe that you givers of gifts will find, more of the real spirit of the season evidenced in OUR this years display than you will find within many miles of this' store. Giving Jewelry doesn t mean that there s a lot of money to pay.

We maintain that we will sell you a BETTER handkerchief than you can get ANYWHERE ELSE AT THE SAME PRICE. We know that this is a broad, statement to make, but we are here to "MAKE GOOD,*' A purchase of your handkerchiefs at our handkerchief booth means that you have bought a better gift.

CRYSTAL CREAMERY CO. mil S33 Haatinga, Mlok. DO YOU WANT CLEAN FLOUR? THEN BUY FRENCH’S WHITE LILY Most people think that all flour is clean just because it LOOKS clean. When wheat comes to the mill, the “crease” in the wheat kernel is FULL OF DIRT. Unless EVERY KERNEL is WASHED and SCOURED, and the flour thoroughly PURIFIED by the most modern machinery, the dirt is ground up with the wheat, remains in the flour and becomes a PART of the bread. You then pay for the DIRT in your flour at so much per pound, and of course DIRT has NO FOOD VALUE. Naturally bread made from such flour has LESS NOURISHMENT, gets stale quicker and COSTS MORE in the end thap bread made from PURE flour, like French’s White Lily. j EVERY KERNEL of wheat that goes ir.to French’s White Lily Flour is positively WASHED and SCOUREDby SPECIAL PATENTED MA­ CHINERY, and goes through more PURIFYING PROCESSES than any other flour you can buy. We CLEAN and SCOUR our wheat much more THOROUGHLY than other mills do. You would be SURPRIS­ ED to see the amount of DIRT we get from wheat that LOOKS CLEAN to the eye. # . Besides this extra cleanliness' we dse nothing but the best specially se­ lected wheat for making French’s White Lily.

CRYSTAL CREAMERY CO., Nmi 533 THE REASON WHY THIS MILL MAKES THE BEST FLOUR Every housewife KNOWS that there is a big difference in flour She knows from experience that a certain brand of flour may produce good bread one time, the next sack may produce poor bread, and the next sack even worse bread. • . that you won’t find in books, but they all add to the QUALITY of French’s White Lily. We run day snd night; we operate by water power; we have the BEST and NEWEST EQUIPMENT of machinery, to sup­ plement our 38 Y E Aits experience. Don’t get the idea that making flour is simply “grinding up wheat” If that were al! there is to it, then one man could make just as good flour as another, and experience wouldn’t be necessary. Do you wonder, now, that French's White Lily Flour is the BEST FLOUR made? On the other hand, she knows that a certain other brand of flour always produces the best kind of bread. She knows that ii she uses the same amount of flour; prepares the dough in about the same way; and bakes with about the same degree of heat; that she will ALWAYS have nice, white, delicious bread, that it is a delight to eat. Do you wonder that we like to have the housewives try this experiment:—Make a batch of bread from French’s White Lily Flour, and from any other flour you choose. Baks them side by side in the SAME OVEN, at the SAME TIME. We could tell fou just what the result will be, but well leave it for you to find out. You’ll think more of French’s White Lily afterwards. Why not try it? ' 5 on take two men who have worked at the milling business the same length of time. One of them will take your wheat and con­ vert it into a nice smooth, even qualify of flour; the other man will only produce a POOR QUALITY. Why? He doesn’t KNOW ■ HOW. You look at these two different kinds of flour, and you will find that they both look very much alike. In fact the POORER QUAL­ ITY of flour may even IXKIK better than the other. Now WHERE ia the difference in these two brands of flour? We will tell you. Il is simply in the MAKING of the flour. We do KNOW HOW to make the BEST FLOUR. We’ve had 18 YEARS experience in making nothing but French's White Illy Flour. We have learned a lot of things about making flour Middleville Roller Mills MICHIGAN . R. T.

AND THAT’S JUST THE KIND OF FLOUR YOU GET IN ANY MILL WITH AN OLD EQUIPMENT, OR IN ANY MILL THAT RUNS ONLY A FEW HOURS EACH DAY AND THEN STOPS. IN ABOUT NINE CASES OUT OF TEN THE WHOLE TROUBLE IS WITH THE FLOUR. IT ISN’T CLEANED THOROUGHLY, AND IT ISN’T ROLLED PROPERLY. / WE HAVE A BRAND NEW EQUIPMENT OF THE VERY LAT­ EST MODELS OF MACHINERY PUT IN NEW LAST YEAR.

WHY? 2nd—Because the Auction Sale adverti«ementa_are read by the men-in their homes at times when they have the time and disposition to. read them. 3rd—Because the BANNERS are saved and the dates remembered. If the dates are forgotten the BANNER can be readily secured and the dates remembered. • With the old-fashioned Auction Sale bill, rain, wind and the “irrepressible kid" soon put them out of business. At the very best they covered but a small territory—and that usually right around the place where the sale was to be held. As a result.but a few neighbors were usually present, attracted more by curiosity and a desire to buy articles for less thah tliby 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 thg county. They were present because articles were advertised that they wanted and they come prepared to bid.

WOMAN'S ADVANTAGE IN LIFE British Physicians of Prominent Give Some Figures That Explain Disparity Between tha Sexes. Though doctors have long realised that, thanks to s better knowledge ot sanitation and personal hygiene, people are living longer than formerly, the much greater relative longevity of women 4s shown tn the recently published British national debt offlee'e report on the mortality ot government Ilf# annuitants haa come as a general surprise. In a summary of thasa flguas It waa shown that the expectation of Ufa of a woman of fifty is now mote than whllo that of a man of tha same age ia only three months greater.

Supreme in Quality; Right in Price For more than 25 years th* DEMAND for French’s White Lily Flour has been so” great that we have been compelled to run night and day, year in and year out. We feel that the “good will'* of those who have so long demand­ ed French’s White Lily in preference to all others is OUR BEST ASSET, and that no expense on our part is too great to seek to MERIT their continued confidence. ■ There are flours and flours on the market. and take your choice." You simply "pay your money There’s the kind that’s put up in a “pretty sack” that is made to "SELL” Lhe BUYER. It wasn’t made to USE. If you buy that kind you are certain to.-have failures on “baking days.’’. Then there’s the flour that’* simply “wheat ground up.” There’s no skill in the manufacture; there’s nothing back of it to commend it to the continued use of the housewife. It’s made in-mills where the manufacturers MUST shove through a certain number of bushels of wheat every 8 or 10 hours in" order that the manufacturer may pay rent and running expenses, and make\ a profit It's the kind that’s made in ALL mills that run only 8, or xo hours a day. Such flour Isn’t FINISHED, because the mills are lacking in up-to-' date equipment. And even if they had the equipment, they could not afford to put the grain through all the processes It should be put through and pay expenses. It takes TIME to FINISH flour, and such mills are PUSHED for “TIME” to get out “PRODUCTION,” which they must have in order to pay EXPENSES. And the flour made in such mills is NOT of EVEN QUALITY. The quality simply can NOT be smooth and even where th* machinery stands IDLE 14 to 16 hours out of every 24, and is permitted to "cool off” before starting up again. Then there’s the BEST—French’s White Lily. It isn’t put up in any expensive, gaudy sack—just a neat, plain one. We don’t blow ourselves on "sacks” to attract customer*. We DO spend every cent we possibly can, to make the.FLOUR that goes into our sacks, the very BEST it can possibly be made. Last year we spent thousands and thousands of dollars for a brand new equipment of the very latest models of machinery, NOT to make more flour, but to make BETTER flour. Therefore we clean our wheat BETTER, and we put our grain through MANY more processes than other mill* do. It insures the users of French’* White Lily a CLEANER, PURER, BETTER flour than ANY OTHER, but we DON’T CHARGE YOU ANY MORE. Why not try a sack and SEE FOR YOURSELF. Middleville Roller Mills R. T.

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.
