Traveling men and people who ought to KNOW, tell me that I have the NEATEST, CLEAN­ EST and MOST SANITARY Bake Shop they know of anywhere in a city of this size. ' I More than that, they all tell me that they are surprised to see such a COMPLETE and UP-TO-DATE equipment in a city of the size of Hastings. I know that people generally often hesitate about visiting a pri­ vate business place unless they are invited, but I WANT YOU TO COME. ' iked Goods bove everyIDITIONS every cuslods he or ant to you •ce for reked Goods eat today? CONDI- That is my reason for inviting you to inspect my Bakery De­ partment Saturday afternoon, January 4. I want you to see for yourself. I want you to KNOW, when you get Bread or Baked Goods from this Bakery, just the conditions under which they were prepared. I want you to KNOW that my Bake Shop is just as CLEAN and SANITARY as the house-wife’s kitchen, and that it is just us well LIGHTED and VENTLIATED. In the past I know that many people have been prejudiced against buying Baked Goods, because they were baked in a basement, where VENTILATION is always bad, the light poor and where DIRT is always the plenties!. And it’s a peculiar thing, that yoit most al­ ways find Bake Shops located in JUST SUCH PLACES. It was to get away from just such conditions that prompted me to move my Bake Shop from the basement up into' the SECOND STORY of my building, where I have ample light, splendid ventilation for all of my rooms, and get away from all the dust and dirt, that is ALWAYS to be found in any basement. I haven’t got things arranged yet JUST as I want them, and expect to have them, but you will find everything CLEAN and SAN­ ITARY, and far above your conception of what a Bake Shop usually is. I am proud of my new shop and of tbe QUALITY of the Bread and Baked Goods we are making. I most pordially invite you to come and see it on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 4, beginning at 2 o’clock p. m. I will appreciate your compliments ands invite your CRITICISMS. My aim is to have a MODEL plant and your ideas may help me. /Light refreshments will be served and music furnished during the afternoon reception. . Hastings, Mich and Mrs. Frank Laubaugh Friday.

White Lily is MUCH BETTER than it ever wax be­ fore, on account of the brand new equipment of flour-making machinery that wr put in only » little over one year ago. We threw out every single one of our old machines, and replaced it all with the best and most modem that _ money could buy. Wje did all this, not to make more flour, but to make French’s White Lily a flour of BETTER QUALITY. .. 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 Lily Flour U the LOWEST PRICED flour on the market—QUALITY consider­ ed—«nd we GUARANTEE EVERY SACK OF IT. You may be able to buy other flours at as low a cost PER SACK, but you will And FrenWs White Lily to be far SUPERIOR in QUALITY. Peo­ ple have found this to be true by experience, and for that reason there is MORE French’s, White Lily sold and used in Barry County than of ALL OTHER FLOURS COMBINED. People KNOW that it ia the BEST VALUE for the money, and EVERY SACK is a BARGAIN at the price. Making all these improvements has g'uen us practically a new mill, but the wisdom of putting in ail these new machines has 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 a little BETTER than any other flour. Your money can’t buy aa GOOD a flour for the price. And when you buy it YOU RUN NO CHANCE. When you buy French’s White Lily you get a GUAR­ ANTEED flour. Every sack you buy is GUARANTEED to SATISFY YOU. In case it should not pleaxq you, aU you have to do is to return it to your Grocer, or elevator man, and GET YOUR MONEY BACK. It’s BEST friends are those who have used it for^be LONGEST TIME. Why not TRY IT the next time you order flour? Don't accept any substitute, nor anything claimed tube JUST AS GOOD, because it won’t be. Every grocer and elevator man in Barry County handles French’s White Lily. If you want to try an interesting experiment jusl to convince you of the superiority of French’s White Lily, just make a batch of bread from French’s White Lily, and a batchTrom any. other flour.claimed to bo ’’just m good.” Pul both in your oven-side by side and bake them at the same time.

For the one who does it not only has the satisfaction of knowing that he is accumulating some­ thing for the inevitable rainy day, or something that will be ready when the opportunity shall come for its profitable use but, he also acquires the^ saving habit which is the best thing after all. A little thoughtful consideration of the future and what it will mean without ready money, and what it may mean with money in the bank, will convince any one of the wisdom of acquiring the saving habit, and of accumulating some money for the future. youngest WhatThls Bank Will Do for You issued to Arion JI. lathrop. admlniaIrutor nt uulH family nnd Frank Cobb and family of tnd <>f tomua Ralph Totten of Hillsdale county and Miss Ants Uush of Charlotte pas- AocordlncH antly ape nt visiting nnd with furnished by Karl and slater with MiM Minnie Field at lh< -^■A'r. knd Mm.

The CORN this country which annually GOES TO WASTE is referred to as the “BILLION DOLLAR WASTE.” This WASTE can all be S use of the silo. Today there is NO SUBJECT receiving so much attention from prominent farmers, from farm papers, from farmers instil experiment stations, as the silo. All the great industries depending on live stock, such as the stock yards, creameries, packing houses and companies are advocating the use of the silo. WHAT JACOB NIEBB BAYB.OF THE LA| WHAT SUPERVISOR OTIS RISBRI06ER, OF JOHNSTOWN, SAYS OF THE tANSIHG SILO WHY THE “LANSING” SILO? Anticipating the great demand there would be for silos, we spent a good deal of time in examining into the merits of various silos. We decided in favor of the Lansing and we’ll tell you WHY? “I like the Lansing Silo, and do. not believe there is a BETTER one made. Money would not buy mine unless I could get another one.- I like the Lansing Silo much better than any cement or brick silo. I have never lost any Silage, in the Lansing Silo. It keeps perfectly and there is nb question but what my Silo has been a good ‘money maker* for me. I am sure that a Silo would pay on any farm in Barry County, no matter how large or how small the farm is, the size of the Silo, of course depending upon the size of the farm." Silo “satisfaction begins at the door.’* The Lansing Silo has some patented features on its hinge door con­ struction that will commend it to EVERY MAN who is thinking of buying a silo. . *■ OTIS RISBRIDGER. How do I like the Lansing Silo? If I efidn’t think that it was the BEST Silo made, I certainly wouldn’t have bought my second one. 1 have two Silos on my farm, and they arc both Lansing Silos. I regard them as about the best investments on my farm. I think that they PAY FOR THEM­ SELVES EVERY YEAR. Without them I coMjd not begin to keep as much stock as 1 do. They furnish my stock with the best of feed, and with the manure I am ‘‘building-up’’ my farm every year, rather than running it to death by taking off crops and returning nothing to the land. No farmer who wants to ketp stock, and keep up soil fertilities, can afford to be without a Silo.and I can most heartily recommend the “Lansing.” ” JACOB NIESS. LAIUI8 SUB ARE ALM MABE Will LOOSE MOB. Felt gaskets on the doors of Lansing Silos keep the doors "air tight” and keep the silage from spoiling. Among other prominent farmers who have Lansing Siloa, are the Feldpausch Bros, of Rutland, who have two Lan. The doors of the Lansing Silo are made so that they can NOT bind, sag, stick or freeze. The door frames are made of 1-4 inch steel plates that run around each door and riveted from top to bottom. The lug and hoop connections enable you to tighten the hoops of your silo when necessary. A few turns of the nut on either side of the lug does the work. The Lansing Silo Billet steel hoops are used. The top anchor attachment and the foundation anchor, make Lansing Silos as "solid as the hills.” Six kinds of lumber are used for Lansing Silos—Oregon Fir, Redwood, White Pine, Yellow Pine, Red Pine and Tamarack. No detail of construction is overlooked in building Lansing Silos. Call and let us talk it over with you, or fill out the coupon in this advertisement and we will mail you descriptive matter.

But the truth is not more plain in that couplet than in this statement to any good housewife: that IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR YOU HAVE MISSED THE BEST FOOD PRODUCT , THAT CAN COME INTO YOUR HOME. Bread is an 1NDISPENSIBLE necessity in every home. GOOD Bread is NOT A LUXURY, but it earn be EASILY assured in your ijnrne- it’s just a question of SMNCH'S WHITE LILY ch's White Lily Flour repreer 38 years of continuous iperience; it represents the ible selections of grain which experience has shown prp- duces the best product; it represents a product of the most complete flour-making machinery that money can buy, and all installed within recent months and now working at its best; it represents what the best grain, milled by the best machinery, run 24 hours a day by water power, can pro­ duce in die making of flour. Not one alone, but all of these factors enter into the making of French’s White Lily Flour what it is today—a recog­ nized standard of flour excellence. This continuous experience of 38 years has given .us several pointers on flour-making that are of value to the users of French’s White Lily Flour, because they have helped to improve the product. . But the greatest factors in making French’s White Lily Flour what it is ille Roller today are these: (1) A complete new equipment of the best milling machin­ ery that money can buy. (2) The run­ ning of our mill night and day by wa­ ter power, the steadiest power known, year after year, so that the machinery keep* at a steady temperature, and therefore does its best work. (3) Our system of PERFECT cleaning of the grain, so that it is impossible for any dirt or impurities to get into the flour. We have built up our big trade in French's White Lily by sparing neither expense nor labor to make it THE BEST. That we have succeeded is shown by the f«ct that we run our big mill night and day from one year's end to another. , ' But our special desire has always been to PLEASE THE HOME FOLKS. By that wjb mean particularly the people of Barry, Ea­ ton and Kent counties, who are close to this mill, with whom our relations are personal and in whom we have a neighborly interest. It. is a pleasure for us to realize that there is Mills more of French’s White Lily Flour used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. And there's a reason. That would not be the fact if long experience had not demonstrated xfhe merits of French’s White Lily Flour to the complete* satisfaction of the great majority of women in Barry county who are the mak­ ers of its homes. •But there are new families moving into the county, and we are desirous of reaching the home-maker in every one of them, and, ask merely that she givs French's White Lily Flour a fair trial. Test it with any other flour made, and you will be convinced of its super­ iority. A simple test is to take any other flour and French’s White Lily Flour. Make a batch of bread from each at the same time and bake them side by side. We will rest our claim for the superior quality of,French's White Lily Flour on that simfJle test.

In the past six years, over 750 Auction Sales have been advertised in the BANN ER to the mutual satisfaction of the sellers and buyers.. We have letters from many who have advertised their sales in the BANNER showing that on a single article they have realized enough-more than they expected to pay all the expenses of tbe auction. In all cases when results have beep com­ pared with expectations the Bales advertised in the BANNER have exceeded expectations, in some cases by several hundred dollars u we can show by let­ ters and personal references. , ND—BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO LOOK TO THH BAN­ FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS OF AUCTION SALES. The success 2of NER the BANNER'S plan of advertising sales has naturally led people to ex­ pect that an auction sale in Barry Co, will be advertised in the BANNER, just as they expect the letter carrier will deliver their mail. RD—BECAUSE OF ITS SMALL EXPENSE. We make a uniform •^charge for our service in reaching practically all the people of Barry Co. that is but little above what used to be charged for sale bills that were read by only a few of the people. A TH—BECAUSE IT PUTS THE SELLER IN TOUCH WITH HIS T BEST AVAILABLE CUSTOMER IN BARRY COUNTY. The BAN­ NER goes into practically every home in Barry Co. The people naturally look to the BANNER tojearn about Auction Sales. If a Barry Co. man wants for his own purposes any tool or live stock advertised in any sale, he knows just whe^e to go to find it. He will be prepared to bid what he be­ lieves ihe article or animal is worth, because he has'use for it There will be no eloment of speculation in his |>id. With'Hhe old plan, the people in the immediate neighborhood were the only ones who knew of the sale, and they would generally bid because they hoped to buy something cheap. C TH—BECAUSE IT AVOIDS HAYING TWO AUCTION SALES IN JTHE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE SAME DAY. The BAN­ NER makes dates for the auctipneers and practically all of them report the sales they book to this office, which is fhe recognized auction sale headquar­ ters. If we find that two sales are booked for the same locality we can and do at once take it up with the auctioneers, and arrange for a change of one of the sales, thereby avoiding Bpoiling both sales. This is rfn important con­ sideration. ' 7TH—BECAUSE THE BANNER CONTAINING THE AUCTION ' ADVERTISING IS LAID AWAY ANB PRESERVED IN THE HOME WHILE THE BILL IS SUBJECT TO THE WINDS AND RAINS AS IT ’ IS TACKED ON THE FENCES AND TREES. duced.

THE REASON WHY You Should Use PURITY FLOUR Batting Her Mind at Rm* Winter Visitor (la Florida)—"! should love realty, f ’ looks very da often got droi anybody drown. We would make it We could make it CHEAPER by mixing, or blending other wheat with it, that don’t cost as much as Michigan wheat. That would cheapen the cost of making Purity Flour. At the same time it would LOWER the “QUALITY,” and we would not consider doing that for a minute. Other mills do do it, but the bread made from those flours dries out quickly, and you are “eating crust*’’ in 24 hours. Users qf Purity Flour are all agreed that bread made from it “holds its moisture longer.” We have built up a reputation on the “QUA LITY” of Purity Flour, and we cannot afford to do anything that will tend to in­ jure, that reputation. We would make Purity Flour better—but we can’t. With the BEST wheat grown right here in Barry County; with the best machinery for making flour; and with the experience gained from a life-time spent in LEARNING “HOW”1 to make the BEST flour, PURITY stands today as the NET RESULT Purity Flour today is the BEST on the market. You can pay more for other (lours, but none of them have the “QUALITY” of Purity.

The BAN­ NER goes into practically every home in Barry Co. .The people naturally look to the BANNER to learn about Auction Saifs. If a Barry Co. man wants for his own purposes any tool or live stock advertised in any sale, he knows just where to go to find it. He will be prepared to bid what he be­ lieves the article or animal is worth, because he has use for it There will be no element of speculation in his bid. With the old plan, the people in the immediate neighborhood were th'e only ones who knew of the sale, and they would generally bid because they hoped to buy something cheap. . —BECAUSE IT AVOIDS HAVING TWO AUCTION SALES IN STH THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE SAME DAY. The BAN­ NER makes dates for the auctioneers and practically all of them report the sales they book to this office, which is the recognized auction sale headquar­ ters. If we find that two sales are booked for the same locality we can and do at once take it up with the auctioneers, and arrange for a change of one of thp sales, thereby avoiding spoiling both sales. This is an important con­ sideration. ‘ • - .■ —BECAUSE THE BANNER’S PLAN REACHES ALL THRPEO­ 6TH PLE OF BARRY COUNTY WHILE THE AUCTION BILL REACH­ ED ONLY A FEW IN THE IMMEDIATE LOCALITY OF THE SALE.

Sim­ ply because it is recognized as the BEST WHEAT for making flour. For in­ stance today (Jan. 28) No. 1 Northern /Wheat is quoted in Chicago at 91 1-4 cents a bushel; No. 2 Velvet 90 1-4 cents; while Red Wheat, which Purity Flour is made of ENTIRELY, sellsTor $1.10 3-4. The Prime Roasts. Mashed Potatoes and Brown Gravy along with the choice side dishes and delic­ ious Coffee, Tea and Pastries, all combine to make a complete and appetizing meal. And added to this is PROMPT and COURTEOUS service. Now if Red Wheat wasn’t the VERY BEST for making flour, it would not command such a premium. ° Fortunately we.are situated right here where we have ALWAYS been able to get more Red Wheat than we could use, and it is of the BEST QUALITY. We never use a KERNEL of any other kind than Red Wheat in making Pur­ Here is where you get the very t^g, best meal la the city for MUV . made «« of Red Wheat like Purity Flour, COSTS MORE k MONEY because the WHEAT COSTS MORE. Flour made from spring wheat doesn’t COST as much, because spring wheat is CHEAPER. ' Agood many mills either use spring wheat entirely in making flour, or mix it with Red Wheat in order to LOWER THE COST of flour. If your bread is dark colored, or if it dries out quickly, you can KNOW that its on account of the lbwer priced spring, or hard winter wheat being used. ‘ . Why not buy PURITY—the flour thats ALL pure flour and every particle of it made from Red Wheat grown right here in Barry County? STAR Bakery and Restaurant Phone 381 ’Mtmr Hastings, Mich.

Most of us, when we think of the meaning of “bargain,” think first—and maybe last—of the price. That’s why, so many times, when you see bargains mentioned, the price is strongly emphasized. . A good many people seem to be unable to get by this price fact; it fills the mind and the eye. But a moment's thought will tell you that the price fa only a relative thing; it may look like a very low price and still be high, according to what you get for the money. If you can buy $10 gold pieces at $9.75, buy all you can gthat's a bargain, because you know exactly the value of what you buy; it’s fixed and g anteed. But you -could, for in­ stance, buy a horse for $50 or another for $150, and th< ner might be a bargain, while the former might be dear at $40. Depends on the horse. Now that’s the way with clothes; whether a price fa high or low depends on the clothes, not the price. Hart, Schaffner & Marx and Clothcraft Clothes are $10 gold piece clothes; the value is guaranteed. Beginning Saturday, Feb. 1, I am going to sell these $10 gold piece Suits and Over­ coats (except blue serges, raincoats and fur coats) at to clear out my stock for Spring goods. {THIS MEANS Men's Men’s Men’s Men's Men’s Men's Men’s $25 $22 $20 $18 $16 $12 $10 Suits or Overcoats for Suits or Overcoats for Suits or Overcoats for Suits or Overcoats for Suits or Overcoats for Suits or Oyercoats for Suits or Overcoats for $18.75 16.50 15.00 1330 12.00 9.00 7.50 THIS MEANS $6.00 Boys' $8.00 Suits or Overcoats Boys' $7.00 Suits or Overcoats 4.50 3.75 3.00 2.25 Boys’ $6,00 Suits or Overcoats Boys’ $5.00 Suits or Overcoats Boys' $4.00 Suits or Overcoats Boys' $3.00 Suits or Overcoats (These prices are strictly cash) Also to celebrate my 19th year in the clothing business, which begins on this day, I will make a ber thia change of time of the evenla* service. • C.'

You take a sample of bach in your hand and you would say that one kind is just as good as the other. ' •. But you let your wife make several batches of bread from each one of these flours and you will find that there is a "big difference." That’s why we like to have the housewife bake a batch of bread from French’s White Lily Flour, and a batch made from ANY- other brand of flour that is CLAIMED to ba "just as good.’*.

The Importance of Good Bread and Tha importance of GOOD BREAD in any well-regulated home is too thoroughly understood to need comment. It is quite i*s well established, too, that flour will not make itself into bread without some human agency to put it into proper condi­ tion for bread making. But the methods that will produce good bread from good flour are too well known to require any explanation. Il is not difficult for any one who wishes to do so to learn how to task® good bread. . But • woman who may have a perfect mastery of the art of'making good breads will fail to have good bread if she has poor Such a woman can get only indifferent bread from an tndifferent quality of flour. READ CAN ONLY BE MADE WHEN THE USED. In other words, the question of making ttsr of using the best flour to make it with. The re so bound up together that it is impossible to housewife needs and must here if she aims to have good bread, good pies, good cakes, and good baking generally. And every housewife who is given poor or indifferent flour and is expected to turn out good bread from it isn't getting a square deal. Poor bread is a wholly unnecessary product in any home. With your, next order ask the groper w *«nd you a sack of French’s White Lily Flour. That flour will assure good gread and pastry, with just ordinary care in the mixing and baking. Expert knowledge isn’t necessary.. Thousands of liousaWives are putting on the table* of homes in this country bread that is fit for a King. And there’s no secret about how she does it. It’s a plain case o< French’s White Lily Flour. That’s reason enough; for French’s White LUy Flour represents the highest type of fipur excellence . It is not sn accident that French’s White LUy. Flour has attained * great reputation and uni excellence.

Excuaed Ria- A wonderful city, within a city, built for the comfort and convenience of the traveling public. The main Grand Central Ter­ minal Building in New York is now open to the public. This vast improvement is more than a great railway Terminal—it is a Terminal City, complete in itself, providing every detail essential to comfort and convenience. It will embrace convention, amusement and exhibition halls, hotels, clubs and restaurants; port office, express offices, modem apart­ ment and office buildings, and num-' erous stores and specialty shops. Grand Central Terminal is the Heart of /New York. At Fortysecond Street and Park •, Avenue (Fourth Avenue), one block from Fifth Avenue and convenient to Broadway. v i m -i ii It b the only Terminal on all lines of local traffic—subway, sur­ face and elevated. More than 7.000 cars pass its doors every day, afford­ ing easy transit facilities to any part of Greater New York. Around Underneath the Terminal City and its streets are 33 miles of rail­ way tracks on two separate levels, the upper for Through Service and lower for Suburban &rvice it, and within a radius of a few blocks, are forty-nine hotels, fifty­ eight clubs and thirty-five theatres. Both levels are reached by gently inclined walks. No stair climbing, and no confusion, since incoming and outgoing traffic is separated. Three newlines of underground transportation are now building to Grand Central Terming, and soon there will be six levels Tor human traffic in Forty-second Street. Each level forms a complete ter­ minal in itself, separate entrances and exits, with equal facilities for the comfort of passengers. Ticket, Pullman, Baggage and other facilities are progressively ar­ ranged from waiting room to train, no step need be retraced. •S?n y?Ur ViP Eas£ <)vcr the New York Central Lines; enjoy restful sleep on the W ater Level Route, ’ ’ three hours of picturesque grandeur along the historic Hudson and enter The Heart of New York City It YOUR SOLE TRIM? some rcATtnis or grand central ti THE LARGEST RAILWAY TERMINAL IN TH ’ �Hers Is ths reason: Owing to tbe scientific de­ sign, the washing water is driven bard through the skimmimg sections, carry* ing all the milk and dirt away with it and actually scrubbing all parts of the metal.

That’s why I ask you to investigate our claim on the “Birdsall” wagon and see if we can prove it ’ First. We claim the heaviest ironed wagon. Second. The strongest axle at the shoulder where it enters skein. Third- The beat sand-excluding akeiu. -Fourth. The largest hub, so the strongest. Fifth. The best painted wagon. Sixth. The heaviest wagon, both wagons having same . sized skeins. Seventh. The lowest price of any high grade wagon. This seventh claim is made because I am not in any trust. I don't pay rent. I don't have to divide my profit and so support three or four families. Heatings. Mich. GUESSING ‘IT BUTS 1 invite you to call at my store and prove these claims to be either true or false.

Alfalfa la no longer an experiment, it is positively known that it is a profitable and practical product of the Michigan farm. It has been proven that alfalfa can be successfully grown upon almost any soil found in Michigan and it not only can be grown but can be grown to profit.

A Few Points in Favor of Alfalfa. More nutriment for stock feeding than most any other hay. Yields far larger crop than best clover—often three cuts per season. Does not need to be reseeded for many years. Better feeder and enricher of soil than any clover. - We Have Best Quality Seed Obtainable. We have been successful in obtaining the very best grade of alfalfa seed that can be procured any where and better than the average.

You can’t make good flour by simply “mashing” it between clumsy stones, nor worn-out iron rolls. if you go into most of the mills, you will find that kind of an equipment.

Its one big feature Is perfect ' •*»> ' _The strongest point in the construction of the Car­ tercar is the patented Friction Transmission. This friction principle has eliminated all the worry and bother of gears. W You have any number of speeds—and the change from one speed to any other is made easily and noise­ lessly with a single movement of the control lever. This transmission is composed of only tyro unit parts —a friction disk running against a fiber faced wheel. The remarkable simplicity makes trouble a rare occurrence. When this transmission is at low speed, the power is tremendous. Such great power ratio will take the car over bad roads where others can not get through. Gin FEED STORE, Curt Imi.

Eieefric (tartar and light* optional Comfort that begins with the engineer’s design Ease of riding is considered a fundamcntai, in the Jackson plant, of a car of the highest class. In other words, the comfort that has so long been a leading feature of Jackson cars is not an after-thought. It has its place from the very first—the engineers, in making their designs, provide for it in the same way they provide for strength and soundness in every part of the car. More than that—they have been doing •- this for years; so they have had, doubtJcss, a wider experience in this direc­ tion than the designers of any other How this skill and experience unite in producing a car of superb riding ea>c -io well demonstrated in this year's Jackson. One of the features that contributes much to the passenger's comfort is the iotncli upholstery. This thick upholstery is supplemented by the tilt of the seat cushions toward the rear and the shoulder-high seat backs. But these alone cannot give maximum comfort. So ample room is provided in the tonneau and in front. , And between you and the road arc four full elliptic springs—full elliptic be­ cause that type is 33 to loo per cent easier riding than any other. The, Jackson is one of a very few cars that use full elliptic springs. With this increased spring action you have a long wheelbase in each model —and you know that the long wheel­ base is easier riding. So much for the comfort features you When you ride in the car. you will note its steadiness—due to the distribution of weight and the even balance that is maintained. Your first ride in the Jackson will reveal, too, a power plant that is silent in ac­ tion ; and plenty of power for the work you’ll want the car to do.

She has decreed that all animal and vegetable mat­ ter must perish as soon as life is extinct. The minute you place a wood post in the ground, you defy thia law. You put it there for the purpose of lasting, but on the contrary decay begins at once, and each year the post is weaker and of less value. You can follow Na­ ture’s guidance by using the American Steel Fence Poet. She says minerals are not to perish. We merely follow this law and transform a mineral, namely, iron ore, into the form of a steel post. When this goes into the ground, Nature preserves it. Each post is really a lightning rod. carrying the electricity from the air. This fact also elds in prevent­ ing corrosion and explains why posts have been in the ground fifteen years without rusting. This quality of the post also protects your stock from lightning. Steel posts will not burn, so -you oaa clean your fence line each year, getting sad of vermin and weed seed which destroy crops. In ordinary soil, steel posts can be driven, saving valuable time and also money. Hardware and Implaments - - Heelings, Mleh.

MICHIGAN How Michigan Farmers Are Successfully Fighting Live Stock Diseases If you are not doing something to rid your farm animals of the deadly stomach and intestinal worms you arc simply Letting Down the Ban to bog cholera and all the other fatal diseases which have cost the farmers of thia country over fifty millions of dollars the past year. YOU can’t afford to run thia risk. YOU can't afford not to take preventive measures. The best way of preventing these deadly plagues from getting a foothold among your stock is to keep every animal worm tree and in tha best posrible condition. Worms are the cau^e of 90 per cent of live stock losses. Thousands of Michigan farmers have learned this fact and by effectually striking at the cause have successfully won their fight.

This mammoth factory employs over 14,000 men which is about 60 per cent of the working male population of Grand Rapids. How would you like to pay this army for a day's work? Illuminating gas is a small element in automobile construction, yef’f’ord uses over 2,000,000 cubic feet per day or twice as much aa is consumed by the entire city of Grand Rapids. And remember he is not lighting and heating cities but merely building automobiles. The Packard Motor Co., NEXT TO FORD, is the largest automobile factory in Detroit, yet Ford’s profits alone last year amounted to more than the entire Packard volume of business. Ths Ford repair parts business alone last year was greater than the entire Packard business and four times the Lozier business. For 1913 Ford purchases 800,000 tires. If he made but $1.00 apiece the Ford Motor Co. could pay a dividend of 40 per cent on their entire capitalization. Think of the low price he gets when he places an order for one million lamps, 200,000 speedometers and W0,000 wheels. Do you wonder that he can build a car at the price he does? Think of the number of animals that will give up their Uvea this year to upholster Ford care. Four hundred thousand complete skins being required and 6,000,0Hi pounds of hair. ■ F* While I do not i>a** as authority on l WILLISON, D. D. S. Hasting*. Mich ... .... .....

Certainly the wrinkles *nd mistakes ought to be ironed out by this time. Then think of the other concerns that bring out a new model each year. Ever atop to think of the expense it takes to bring out this new model because of the necessity of new machinery, jigs, dies, patterns, tools, etc. The first model T. Ford coat $350,0<H> for experimental work alone yet we are selling them today for $600. Ford has a tool and machine equipment that represents millions of dollars which would be worth practically nothing should he bring out a new model. This equipment was paid for out of the first years business. Its entire expense has been charged off the books. It costa him nothing to use it now except for Kiwer. < onsequently he reduced the price while you reap the benefits. Can you do this by purchasg any other car? Ever stop to think that you are paying this first cost in most cases? Some advocate dropping the licking RO acres, fair building Very few persons have any idea of the enormous size of the Ford Motor Co. Do you know that there isn't a tire company in the world large enough to supply the tires for this wonderful concern? This plant alone exported twice as many cars to England last year as England heraelf produced. Germany and France are using more Ford cars than they are of their own manufacture, and in Italy, well, there are hardly anything but Fords. The Ford catalog was printed in seven different languages last year and no one pretends to state how many tongues it will be printed in this year. And now for the financial side. Can you appreciate that it require* an $8,000,000 stock of raw material and supplies before it pays to start manufacturing. This does not include machinery, equipment, or anything of the kind but simply raw material. The machinery equipment will amount to several times this figure and buildings, real estate, etc., more yet. Can you grasp these figures ? Then consider that the company is capitalized at only $2,000,000. A profit of only $1.00 per car on their 200,000 car production would pay a dividend of 10 per cent and a profit of only $10 per car would allow a 100 per cent dividend. Just stop now and consider the profit per car that the overage automobile manufacturer must make to declare a 100 per cent dividend on their capitalization. Very few - of them will build over 5,000 cars. Most of them are capitalized forasmuch or more than Fond. Topay 100 per cent dividends they would therefore require a net profit of $400.00 per car as against a Ford " profit of $10.00 per car. Can you see now why other care sell for $300 to $500 more than the Ford Price? Do you get all this? Do you want to pay this difference? Can you afford to pay this difference because of their small production? We will admit that they need the money, but are you going to furnish it? If not, then place your order now through your nearest Ford dealer, or you will probably be compelled to pay this tribute or walk. l#0 acre*, building* Aldrich-Wertman Co STEBBINS AUTO CO Hickory Corners Hastings Caritas.

Phone 381 Every Farmer Should Know How the U. S. CREAM SEPARATOR Is Easiest Washed \ • • Any man or woman can wash a United Sts toe Cream Sep­ arator In HALF tho time needed to clean other separators. Some users have told a* that appearances are against the easy washing of Hie United States Cream Separator. They say that at firSV sight they wen prejudiced against it. The object of this advertisement ia to tell you why the U. S. ia easiest to dean and how it will save you half your time. The skimming sections are made up of narrow vertical channels, which are en­ tirely open fron/end to end. When they an whirled in waler the water ia driven with gnat speed and force through these Channels, carrying off all the milk and dirt with it. This whirling process is more effective on the United States'Cream Separator than on other separators^for four reasons’- First—There are no obstructions in which, or behind which, dirt can lodge. Second—The arrangement of the soctions which make up the skimming device enables water to bo driven hard through them and In its passage to scrub off and carry away all Impurities. Third—The use ot nickel silver In the sections, a non-adheslve antl-rust metal to which dirt and milk stick leca'than to tin or steel. Fourth—Ths.

Illuminating gas is a small element in automobile construction, yet Ford uses over 2,000,000 cubic feet per day or twice as much as is consumed by the entire city of Grand Rapids. And remember he is not lighting and heating cities but merely building automobiles. The Packard Motor Co., NEXT TO FORD, Is the largest automode factory in Detroit, yet Ford’s profits alone last year amounted to more than the entire Packard volume of business. The Ford repair parts business alone last year was greater than the entire Packard business and four times the Lozier business. For 1913 Ford purchases 800.000 tiree. If he made but $1.00 ariece the Fond Motor Co. could pay a dividend of 40 per cent on their entire capitalization. Think of the low price he gets when he places an order for one million lamps, 200,000 speedometers and 800,000 wheels. Do you wonder that he can build a car at th(/price he does? Think of the number of animals that will giye up their lives this year to upholster Ford cars. Four hundred thousand complete skins being required and 6,000,000 pounds of hair.

And now for the financial side. Can you appreciate that it requires an $8,000,000 stock of raw material and supplies before it pays to start manufacturing. This does not include machinery, • equipment, or anything of the kind but simply raw material The machinery equipment will amount to several times this figure and buildings, rtal eetato eto,yet Can you grasp these figures? Then consider that the company is capitalized at only $2,000,000. A profit of only $1.00 per caf on their 200,000 car production would pay a dividend of 10 per cent and a profit of only $10 per car would allow a 100 per cent dividend. Just stop now and consider the profit per car that the overage automobile manufacturer must make to declare a 100 per cent dividend on their capitalization. Very few of them will build over 5,000 care. Most of them are capitalized for aa much or more than Ford. To pay 100 per cent dividends they would therefore require a net profit of $400.00 per car as against a Ford profit of $10.00 per car. ' ‘ ‘ Can you see now why other care sell for $800 to $500 more than the Ford Price? Do you get all this! Do you want to pay this difference? Can you afford to pay this difference because are — you ~ going to *furnish of their small production? We will admit that they need the money, but — 7^ ay thia this tribute tribute or walk. it?

Certainly the wrinkles and mistakes ought to be ironed out by this time. Then think of the other concerns that bring out a new , / model each year. Ever stop to think of the expense it takes to bring out thia new model because of the necessity of new machinery, jigs, dies, patterns, tools, etc. The first model T. Ford cost $350,000 for experimental work alone yet we are selling them today for $600. Ford has a tool and machine equipment that represents millions of dollars which would be worth practically nothing should he bring out a new model This equipment was paid for out of the first years business. Its entire expense has been charged off the books. It costs him nothing to use it now except for power. Consequently he reduced the price while you reap the benefits. Can you do thia by purchas­ ing any other car? Ever stop to think that you are paying this first cost in most cases? We can usually do better by those having grain and produce to sell, and why we can give a customer a little better deal on what he buya at We invite you to pat ua lo the test, and to do so, it will not be fair to judge by a single transaction, but by ayear’a deal. . wci. Providing every automobile factory builds as many cars for 1913 as they claim they will, there > Of this quantity Ford alone will build 200,000 or 58 per cent The next largest plant in the world claim they will produce but 40,000 care and they are far behind their schedule today. Compare this to Ford who is 10,000 care ahead of schedule on a 200,000 car production. — will be a combined production of 875,000 cars.

In this advertisement we reproduce pictures of some of the damage done by the cyclones that only recently visited this section. Two of the losses were insured, the outers were not We wish that all of them had been. Those who were insured will get full pay for their losses up to the amount of their policies. In BOTH CASES the insured had PAID BUT A FEW DOLLARS, and as a result their ACTUAL LOSS will be SMALL. r The two whit were unfortunately NOT INSURED will therefore have to stand their own losses, and see the result of a lot of hard labor completely wiped out We mention this, by no means to dwell upon their misfortune, but to emphasize the WISDOM and NECESSITY of protection against cyclones, tornadoes and windstorms. We understand that both of those who were not inrnred, In­ tended to take out policies, but PUT IT OFF, just aa too many others have done, and are doing. All of which goes to prove that delays are expensive, as well as dangerous.

The Michigan Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Windstorm Insurance Company is a MUTUAL Com­ pany. It is one ot the largest Companies of its kind in the world and one of the most economically and conservatively hdministered. All it costs you is a small Policy Fee of 11.00 and 20 cents on each 2100 insured. A policy for 21000 would therefore cost you only $3.00, and if you meet with a loss YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY, up to the face of your policy. Report of Convention.

How This Company is Growing. : a . IMM . . • ktn.ai.uwv.iM, Since this company was organized almost 30 years ago, it has never levied but 4 assessments, each of 10 eenta on each 2100 Insured. This is a record that we believe is unparallelled In the insur­ ance worldt This means that the man who took out a 21000 policy with us in 1885, when the company nized, has only paid $7.00 to carry his policy up to this minute—almost SO year*. wonderful record has been made possible only by the rapid growth of the Company, which T1 today has upwards of 50,000 members and an assessable capital of over ONE.HUNDRED MILLIONS of HOLLARS. Each member joining this company pays an ADVANCE ASSESSMENT of OT cents on each 2100 insured. So rapid has been the GROWTH of the Company that this ADVANCE ASSESS­ MENT haa gone a long ways towards paying ALL LOSSES-and the expense of management So if you have a Policy in this Company and meet with LOSS, oyer 50,000 others will each chip in a little and PAY YOUR LOSS in full up to the amount of your policy. . a I luring the past two weeks the growth of this company has ECLIPSED ALL RECORDS, haying written over TWO MILLIONS in those TWO WEEKS. Only a few years ago we were pleased when the Cumpany could show a growth of a MILLION DOLLARS in one WHOLE YEAR.

You may save a dollar on one purchase but you will lose it in,wear and satisfaction. It costs more money every year to make good shoe*. Leather ta becoming scarcer every day and the price advances steadily. 'Hie growth of the automobile industry has been phenomenal and the automobile manufacturer gets first call on hi^h grade leather which alone creates a scarcity and raises the price. Every item of material that goes of a shoe is higher and higher in price. ►The great increase of population in America de­ mands more shoes daily. The men and women who work in the shoe factories are compelled to pav more and more for everything they eat and wear. The cost of living necessarily means that their daily wages must advance in keeping with their living expenses. So you can readily see that the cost ni producing the right kind of footwear is high and will be higher. . Cheap shoes arc a pour investment. Say you pay $2.00 for a pair of shoes that will only last you two months. This means that you will pay out in one yehr $12.00 for cheap shoes. But, on the other hand, say you pay $4 00 for a pair of good shoes and they last you four months. You have paid out in one year $12.00 for satiafactory shoes and invested exactly the same amount of money you spent for the cheap, unsatisfactory kind. Now isn't that a sim­ ple and convincing illustration? Add to this the com- T fort, the satisfaction and the enjoynn had shoes that fit, that wear and that lot But when you take into consider the amount of thought, care, labor and money it n to produce a shoe, so-called high priced shoct 1 There is no other article of general w it demant as much careful attention in its prodtk :a shoe. A milliner takes a piece of ribbons and flowers on it, calls it a “creation" and gets from $10 to $25 for it, (sometimes twice that amount.) A belt maker takes a strip of leather, punches a few 'holes in it. sews on a buckle and you pay from $1.00 to $3 for it. But look what is required to produce Kahoc. First there are over 161 items of miterial that must be pur­ chased and assembled before the shoe JKgven started into the factory. Every item must 4>e lAMBd with care and inspected rigidly. When the shoe ESfltuallv put in process of making it must pass through (he hands < i over 150 people before it is finally finished aad,readv tor you to wear. Just think of that.

THE JOHNSTON BINDER CASE I was PERFECTLY SATISFIED with the PROFIT I was making, and did not propose that the Johnston Company, which I understand is a part of the Trust, should RUN MY BUSINESS. I propose to BE MY OWN “BOSS.” I could afford to sell my goods at a LOWER PRICE than any concern employing canvassers, for reasons stated further on in this advertisement. That was the way 1 wanted to run my business. I’M GOING TO CONTINUE. Now I AM OOING'TO HANDLE SOME PLOWS AND HARROWS. There are plenty of others just as good, and ANY­ THING I handle will.be RIGHT, sold at the RlCHT PRICE, and will be just as good as anything on the market for the money, In fact I am going to continue my policy, which the Trusts DON’T LIKE, of selling goods at a LOW PRICE, and which at the same time will afford me a LIVING PROFIT—that’s ALL THE GALE CASE plea* church Sunday April 20. ins to Irving twp..

Only a few days ago along came the makers of Syracuse Plows and Harrows, telling me that they had taken the Agency from me and placed it with another dealer. This was done in such an underhanded way that it looks as if some of those big companies were really after a piece of my “goat” I have sold Syracuse t*lows and Harrows in Barry County for 15 years. In fact I introduced them here and worked up the trade on them. Last winter the company’s agent called on me as usual and took my order. I naturally expected they would be delivered as they always had been. A few days ago I notified the company to send on the goods, as plowing time would soon be here, and was then informed that the agency had been taken from me and placed elsewhere. Why did they keep me “in the dark” about it until the plowing season opened? It looks to me like a deliberate at­ tempt to leave me without any line of Plows when the plowing season opened, to cripple my business. . With none of these Companies was there any complaint about my ability and disposition to PAY. There couldn’t be, because I paid when I agreed to.

Now, Mr. Farmer, this is a question that INTERESTS YOU A good many have asked me “What are you going to do about it?” That isn’t for me to answer. Oh the other hand I should ask “MR. FARMER, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT,?” I don’t claim to be big enough to stand against every Trust in the country. Possibly they can put me “Out of Business/’ possibly drive me across the last ditch. If they do, I’ll come up on the other side smiling, but slil “facing them.” This proposition has become a menace to every good citizen.

PH continue selling goods, and at the same LOW PRICES. Come and see. TRUSTS DON’T LIKE IT. This is only another proof that the “big fellowa” don’t look with favor upon the fellows who “SELL GOODS TOO CHEAP.” And possibly you have noticed that you CAN’T buy Johnston Binders and Gale goods at as LOW A PRICE now as you could WHEN I HANDLED THEM and SOLD THEM/TO YOU. The SAME THING will be true of SYRACUSE goods. In tour qualities of personality are: Beauty, grace, Intelligence, radi- WHY I CAN AND DO SELL CHEAPER. I ASK. If I employed HIGH PRICED CANVASSERS to go out among the farmers, and take up their valuable time, and „ “POUND THEM ON THE BACK" to sell gobCs, I COULD N SELL MY GOODS at as LOW A PRICE as I DO. Their SAL­ ARIES and EXPENSES have to be ADDED to the COST of the goods, apd YOU CAN’T GfcT AROUND IT. In other words you farmers have to PAY their salaries and expenses. I DO NOT EMPLOY CANVASSERS, and by dotting out that BIG EXPENSE, I CAN and DO SAVE YOU MONEY on every article you buy here, and at the same time make a SATISFAC­ TORY PROFIT for.myself. My policy of selling goods for LESS MONEY is the magnet that has DRAWN TRADE here.

Financial success is not the only success but it is the success which makes all other successes easy. Work and careful saving of one’s income are some of the essentials to financial success and today nearly every man and woman can save a portion of his or her income if they wish to do so. One trouble today is that many men and women do not know how to save. Some try saving by carrying money in their pockets or pocketbooks, but to little purpose, for the jingle of money in one’s pocket is a temptation to spend which few resist Some try putting a few cents or dollars away in The home only to use it at some later time when the temptation is strong—and their savings are soon gone. • • The safe and eure way to get ahead and take a step on the stairway) of success is to open a savings account with us today. Our careful management and years of successful experience in banking, the courteous treatment we always extend our patrons and the careful attention we give to their accounts are a few of the reasons why. , "Character,” "Industry" and “Economy” are the stairways to “Success," and there is no better pass for admission up this stairway than a Certificate of Deposit or a Bank Book from us.

From the time the raw materials reach the warehouse until they leave the plant in the finished product they are under the scrutiny of a corps of experts trained in accordance with the standards of the Cadillac organization. This inspection extends to4he smallest pieces, including nuts, bolts and screws. , . Cadillac standardization means the absolute interchangeability ot parts. It means that when it is desired to replace a part, the new one will fit and fit correctly without alteration in the slightest degree. No Cadillac user was ever'obliged to discard his car because he was unable to obtain some' needed part. No Cadillac user waa ever compelled to un­ dergo the annoyance and expense of having some needed part made to order because the maker Had gone out of business, had discontinued making parte for old models, or had to depend upoh some outside parts maker to supply them- 7/r Better to Buy a Cadillac Than to Wish You Had' CE.NTRAL AUTO CO. 220.222 Ionia SL, N.

It is an important matter and means many dollars to you in the purchase of your season's fuel. We are now in position to offer to you the very lowest possible retail price for what coal you may want. From year to year our coal business has increased until it has grown to very large dimensions and it is owing to the fact that we always protect our customers. Every one who has ever purchased from us knows they get prompt service and perfectly hon­ est weight We use care in delivery and do not litter up your yard when unloading. These things are not very much but when you take them in addition to the su­ perior quality of coal we always handle and consider the remarkably low price we are enabled to quote you at this time of year you can plainly see there is no possible reason why you should hesitate to buy NOW all the coal you expect to need next winter. A few dollars saved here and there will greatly reduce the high cost of living and why not begin that saving by ordering your coal from us now. .1■.■» After Olivet < Wanted! a young Battle Cr.

Opportunity for success was never greater among young men and young women than at the pres­ ent time. This is true because the opportunity is usually made and the present is the time to spake it. “Opportunity” seldom comes strolling along rapping upon doors promiscuously—it must be sought, fol­ lowed and seized by those who would possess it “Success” will be attained only by those who sieze “Opportunity” and then by carefully directed lives lay the foundation for characters of industry, self­ denial and economy. All too many times success is estimated from a purely financial point of view. Financial success is not the only success but it is the success which makes all other successes easy. Work and careful saving of one's income are some of the essentials to financial success and today nearly every man and-woman can save a portion of his or her income if they wish to do so. • One trouble today is that many men and women do not know how to save.' Some try saving by carrying money in their pockets or pocketbooks, but to little purpose, for the jingle of money in one's pocket is a temptation to spend which few resist Some try putting a few cents or dollars away in the home only to use it at some later time when the temptation is strong—and their savings are soon gone. .. , The safe and sure way to get ahead and take a step on the stairwayi of success is to oi account with up today. Our careful management and years of successful experience in courteous treatment we always extend our patrons and the careful attention we give to t are a few of the reasons why. ■ • a savings king, the accounts “Character,” “Industry" and “Economy” are the stairways to “Success,” and there is no better pass for admission up this stairway than a Certificate of Deposit or a Bank Book from us.

That MchUy giving you the best obtainable for t stoney, Our goods are all fresh and new rantee to phase you. When in need of any- TEETH— SOMETHING NEW In every sack of French’* White Lily Flour you buy you get the benefit of our 39 Year* of experience, beside* getting a flour made by the beat and most modern equip­ ment that money can buy. In our long and close study of the flour-making business, naturally we have discover­ ed a good many little "knacks'* that you don’t find in the book*. In fact our most valuable knowledge as to how to make the BEST FLOUR has come from that good old school ot "EXPERIENCE. ” We have never tried to see HOW MUCH flour we could crowd through thia mill every day, but have al­ ways aimed td see HOW GOOD a flour we could make. This ha* been our policy from the start.' Aa a result French’s White Lily Flour won a reputation for QUAL­ ITY. The demand foe it Continued to increase, until we were compelled to run this mill night and day year in and year out. y , Making the BEST flour is our exclusive business. We have no other business. We've been making French’s White Lily Flour for 39 year*. Our whole thought, time and energy have been centered on that ONE THING. We have provided ourselves with a mill that for up-todate equipment, labor-saving devices, cannot be aurpass- ed in this whole country. Not one single thing that would improve the quality of Freach's White Lily has been overlooked. Every modern device that “prove* it­ self’ worthy we adopt. , There 1* nothing that you can eat that wUl.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 1* plenty of good bread consumed, and you will find a healthy, happy family. \ Good bread can only be made from GOOD flour. It om’t be made from poor flour, though a good many peo­ ple persistently try to do it. and then wonder why their bakings are poor. The QUALITY of your bread must dtepend very largely upon the quality of the flour you use. You can't get away from that fact. There 1* MORE French'* White Lily F|our used In Barry County then of all other flours combined. If the people hadn't TRIED it, and found It to be the BEST, they certainly would not buy so much of it.

The BAN­ NER goes into practically every home in Barry Co. The people naturally look to the B/\NNER*to learn about Auction Sales. If a Barry Co. man wants for his own purposes any. tool or live stock advertised in any safe, be knows just where to go to find it. He will be prepared to bid what he be­ lieves the article or animal is worth, because he has use for it. There will be no element of speculation in his bid. With the old plan; the people in the immediate neighborhood were the only ones who knew of the sale, and they would generally bid because they hoped to buy something cheap. CTH—BECAUSE IT AVOIDS HAVING TWO AUCTION SALES IN ^THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE SAME DAY. The BAN­ NER makes dates for the auctioneers and practically all of them report the sales they book to this office, which is the recognized auction sale headquar­ ters. If we find that two sales are booked for the same locality we can and do at once take it up with the auctioneers, and arrange for a change of one of the saty, thereby avoiding spoiling both sates. This is an important con­ sideration. £ TH—BECAUSE THE BANNERS PLAN REACHES ALL THE PEOUPLE GT BARRY COUNTY WHILE THE AUCTION BILL REACH­ ED ONLY A FEW LN THE IMMEDIATE LOCALITY OF THE SALE.

WHY The BANNER’S Plan of Handling Auction Sales Ought to Be Favored by Every One Who Contomplatee Having a Sale In Barry County: 1 ST1—BECAUSE IT IS A DEMONSTRATED SUCCESS.. In the past A six years, over 750 Auction Sales have been advertbed in the BANNER to the mutual satisfaction of the sellers and buyers.. We have letters from many who have advertised their sales in the BANNER showing that on a single article they have realized enough more than they expected to pay all the, expenses of the auction. In all cases when results have been com­ pared with expectations the sales advertbed in the BANNER have exceeded expectations, in some cases by several hundred dollars as we can show by let­ ters and personal references. ND—BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO LOOK TO THE BAN­ FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS OF AUCTION SALES. The success 2of NER the BANNER'S plan of advertising sales has naturally led people to ex­ pect that an auction sale in Barry Co. will be advertised in the BANNER, just as they expect the letter carrier will deliver their mail. RD—BECAUSE OF ITS SMALL EXPENSE. We make a uniform charge for our service in reaching practically all the people of Barry Co. 3 that is but little above what used to be charged for sale bills that were read Mulholland’s Drug Store Is the place to go to get Pure Linseed Oil at low prices. ..

' I— ' . A TH—BECAUSE IT PUTS THE SELLER IN TOUCH WITH HIS “BEST AVAILABLE CUSTOMER IN BARRY COUNTY. The BAN­ NER goes into practically every home in Barry Co. The people naturally look to the BANNER to learn about Auction Sales. If a Barry Co. man wants for his own purposes any tool or Hve stock advertised in any sale, he knows just where to go to find it. He wHI be prepared to bid what he be­ lieves the article or animal is worth,-because he has use for it. There will be no element of speculation in hb bid. With the old.plan, the people in the immediate neighborhood were the only ones who knew of fhe sale, and they would generally bid because they hoped to buy something cheap. E TH—BECAUSE IT AVOIDS HAVING TWO AUCTION SALES TN °THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE SAME DAY. The BAN­ NER makes dates for the auctioneers and practically all of them report the sales they book to thb office, which is the recognized auction sale headquar­ ters. If we find that two sales are booked for the same locality we can and do at once take it up with the auctioneers, and arrange for a change of one 'of the sales, thereby avoiding spoiling both sales. Thb is an important con­ sideration. TH-BECAUSE THE BANNER’S PLAN REACHES ALL THE PEO­ OF BARRY COUNTY WHILE THE AUCTION BILL REACH­ 6EDPLE ONLY A FEW IN THE IMMEDIATE LOCALITY OF THE SALE. Thia is so evident that any elaboration of. this point is quite unnecesaary. 7TH—BECAUSE THE BANNER* CONTAINING THE AUCTION Z ADVERTISING IS LAID AWAY AND PRESERVED IN THE HOME WHILE THE BILL IS SUBJECTTO THE WINDS AND RAINS AS IT IS TACKED ON THE FENCES AND TREES.

There should be but one course for you to take—you should seek the common sense advice and the treat­ ment of a Specialist in all such ailments.

' The item of “GENERAL EXPENSE” keeps right on “running,” no matter whether the mill stops or not. “General expense' ’ includes all such items as taxes, rents, insurance, lights, interest 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 hours each 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 iust 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 six hours that it runs, because the MORE BARRELS of flour it produces m those 6 hours the LESS its general expense will be PER BARREL. y For instance, if! the general expense PER MONTH was $500, and barrels of flour were made in that month, the “general expense” would be 50 CENTS PER BARREL. But if only 500 barrels were produced, the “g?nerul expense would be >1.00 PER BAR­ REL. So with the mill that runs only a few hours each day, the aim must be PRO­ DUCTION and not QUAUTY. , , u j ' XZa11i«as*s>Q Beautiful and valuable—set with V milClCa diamonds and real pearls and cameos GEORGEJM.

They v In taking care of any Hay Crop, time is one of the controlling factors, and if the acreage is large it may be found advisable to begin a few days earlier than would otherwise seem necessary. Then with good and proper machinery the “haying time” becomes not only profitable but an absolute pleasure. The best time to cut Alfalfa is when new shoots are making their \ appearance. Then with a new \ EASY DRAUGHT DEERING MOWER / with all the very newest conveniences for making it the most desirable 8^ machine to be found you should start the mowing as soon as the dew is off in the morning and prospects for 2 or 3 days of good weather appear. Alfalfa is much easier to handle as a hay crop than other kinds of hay and more than that the yield of hay from Alfalfa is so heavy, if properly handled, that it will increase the farm values to the highest point. * After the mowing has begun the hay that was cut in the morning should be gone over in the afternoon with one of our John Deere or Thomas Tedders so it will dry out underneath.

Beginning on the outside of the field the hay is carried furSfc* ther out leaving an open space which will be dried some by the sun before the next round is made. The next morning the same jge- rake is used again and the hay is sufficiently cured. Those who do not care to use our Dane Side Delivery Rake can find in a DEERING RAKE the very best thing in the regular dump rake. As soon as the hay is cured it is ready for the stack or mow and here again is the necessity for haste and a saving of , time. Here is where the John Deere Hay Loader becomes almost a necessity to every farmer in securing his hay crop. Both time and help are saved by use of. the John Deere Loader. I The value of these machines in caring for the Alfalfa Crop-cannot be over-estim­ ated. Their greater value in the Alfalfa field is self evident as this variety of hay yields several crops per seasoned the up-to-the-minute farmer cannot well be assured of suc­ cessfully obtaining their whole crop without our time and help saving machines. �ON DRY FARM and Strength Win Give Varied and ilthful Diet ;E ONE REMEDY” • Because tha joint* to “Pittaburgh Perfect are welded by electricity, you can pick it cut first pop.

O ND—BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO LOOK TO TH ESH AN­ KNER FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS OF AUCTION SALES. The *ucce»* of the BANNER’S plan of advertising sales has naturally led people to ex­ pect that an auction sale in Barry Co. will be advertised in the BANNER, just as they expect the letter carrier will deliver their mail. , •' Q RD—BECAUSE OF ITS SMALL EXPENSE.

The BAN­ NER goes into practically every home In Barry Co. The people naturally look to the BANNER to learn about Auction Sales. If a Barry Co. man wants for his own purposes any tool or live stock advertised in any sale, he knows just where to go to find it. He will be prepared to |>id what he be­ lieves the article or animal is worth, because he has use for it; There will be no clement of speculation in his bid. With the old plan, the people in the immediate neighborhood were the only ontfa who knew of the sale, and they would generally bid because they hoped to buy something cheap.

The BAN­ NER make* dateh for the auctioneers and practically all of them report the sales they Kook lo this office, which is the recognized auction sale headquar­ ters. If we find that two sales are booked for the same locality we can and do at once take it up with the auctioneers, and arrange for a change of one of the sales, thereby avoiding spoiling both sales. This is an important con­ sideration. • f.TH—BECAUSE THE BANNER’S PLAN REACHES ALL THE PEOUPLE OF BARRY COUNTY WHILE THE AUCTION BILL REACH­ ED ONLY A’FEW IN THE IMMEDIATE LOCALITY OF THE SALE.

Good Quality Seed Needed To successfully grow Alfalfa the best quality of seed is necessary and can only be had by buying the supply you need from a firm whose reputation for handling the best grades in every line is well established. It has been our policy since our first starting in business to pay the price necessary to secure the HIGHEST GRADE SEED. Our knowledge of good seed and the firms from whom we buy are safeguards to quality. And we have Alfalfa Seed that tests almost 100 per cent pure. Every pound of seed we sell has stood this test and—that is not all—it is backed by our own personal guarantee. Most Nutritious of Feeds Alfalfa is proven to be the most nutritious of feeds for dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, hogs, horses, poultry and the blossoms aid the • bees in making heavy yields of rich, excellent honey. Alfalfa increases the yield of succeeding crops—it nearly doub­ les the yield of grain and increases the value of potatoes per acre $20, oatsl$20.

The average person’* comfort is secured only by living within ene’s income and laying by something reg­ ularly before spending, not simply deposit­ ing what is left after spending. It may be necessary to practice a little self denial to lay by money from a moderate income, but after all is it self denial when the result is a personal benefit, independence and fu­ ture comfort?

Per Bushel For Your Wheat ■ 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 1 to 12 CENTS MORE PER BUSHEL. Now these are the FACTS:-- We oftenpay 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 towns with the prices PAID BY US.

A SECRE.T The secret of life from a business point of view is to spend less than you earn and dc> posit the difference. The average person's comfort is secured only by living within one's income and laying by something reg­ ularly before spending, not simply deposit* ing what is left after spending. It may be necessary to practice a little self denial to lay by money from a moderate income, but after all is.it self denial when the result is a personal benefit, independence and fu­ ture comfort?

Tn lb. post six years, over 750 Auction Sales have been advertised in the BANNER to the mutual satisfaction of the sellers and buyers.. We have letters from many who have advertised their sales in the BANNER showing that on a single article they have realized enough more than they expected to pay all the expenses of the auction. In all cases when results have been com.pared with expectations the sales advertised in the BANNER have exceeded expectations, in some cases by several hundred dollars as we can show by let­ ters and personal references. • ND—BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO LOOK TO THE BAN­ The succes. ot the BANNER'S plan ol advertising sales has naturally led people to ex­ pect that an auction sale in Barry Co. will be advertised in the BANNER^, just as tl^ey expect the letter carrier will deliver their mail. 2NER FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS OF AUCTION SALES. *5 RD—BECAUSE OF ITS SMALL EXPENSE. We make a uniform '-’charge for our service in reaching practically all the people of Barry Co. that is but little above what used to be charged for sale bills that were read.by on’y a few of the people. 4 TH—BECAUSE IT PUTS THE SELLER IN TOUCR1 WITH HI^ ’BEST AVAILABLE CUSTOMER IN BARRY COUNTY. The BAN­ NER goes into practically every home in Barry Co. The people- naturallv look to the BANNER to learn about ^Auction Sales. If a Barry Co. man« wants for his own purposes any tool or live stock advertised in any sale hec knows just where to go to find it. He will be prepared to bid. what-he ’bte* lieves the article or animal is worth, because he has use for it. There will” be no element of speculation in his bid. With the old plan, the- people h<> the immediate neighborhood were the only ones who knew of the salt they would generally bid because they hoped to buy something cheap. . C TH—BECAUSE IT AVOIDS HAVING TWO AUCTION SALES IN' NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE SAME DA?, lie^AN N ER mak« dates for the auctioneers and practically all of them report the sales they book to this office, which is the recognized auction sale headquar­ ter. If we find that two sales are booked for the same locality we can and do at once take it up with the auctioneers, and arrange for a change of one of the Mies, thereby avoiding spoiling both sales. This is an important con­ sideration. r StHE same 6I!I^R?CAL™,THE BANNER-S PLAN REACHES ALL THE FEO.S?iSTY WHILE THE AUCTION BILL REACH­ ED ONLY A FEW IN THE IMMEDIATE LOCALITY OF THE SALE. 1 Ins is to evident that any elaboration of this point is quite unnecessary. 7TH—BECAUSE THE BANNER CONTAINING .THE AUCTION ADVERTIStNG IS LAID AWAY AND PRESERVED IN THE HOME le’i LX-T*XE BILL IS SUBJECT TO THE WINDS AND RAINS AS IT IS TACKED ON THE FENCES AND TREES. THE BANNER'S METHOD ol advartlilnj Auction Silos has bsse stidoessd mt—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 haa 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” y 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 ot information and suggestions on conducting an Auction Sale. You should not ^ail to secure one of these booklets if you contemplate holding a sale. Its suggestions will mean larger and better results from your sale.

Michigan - A feyr lines of explanation are here necessary, so all will know and appreciate the importance of this sale. Confronted with the most ser­ ious business problem, being overstocked, conditions compel us to try and reduce same. For this reason we are offering at retail sale to the people of this and adjacent counties, our $30,000 stock of high class and dependable Merchandise for men, women, and children. We fully re­ alize that in order to get our stock down to what we want it, that only the most drastic reductions, such as have never been presented to the public, can accomplish this for us. Having been established for years the people well know the high line of Merchandise handled by us, well know our conservative methods. We have never inaugurated a sale, never made any assertions, without strictly stating the truth, in the deepest sense of the word, and during this sale we will, as heretofore, zealously live up to our repu­ tation, for our reputation is at stake. Time is limited, and it cannot be our concern of how much this merchandise will realize, the task before us means the utter disposal of this $30,000 stock.

GIam Get OUR Prices I have'one thing that is absolutely safe even in Hastings, and that is my Reputation. I have a reputation for selling Standard Goods, such as Wagons, Plows, Harrows, Binders, Mowers, Wind­ mills, Twine, Harness, Buggies, Ladders, Screen Doors, Wire Fence and so on, at a very low price. It has been demonstrated time and again that these goods are Standard from the very fact that Certain Dealers have availed themselves when an oppor­ tunity afforded to get as many of these goods as possible, but the Reputation they have always shunned. As, after they get the goods, the Price has invariably gone up not Down so we readily see it was the Goods and not the Reputation that they were after. Now I am truly thankful that thev have left the reputation unmolested and I shall use it as in the past, so if you are in need of any of the above goods call at my store being fully assured that I still hold the reputation and sell these goods at what they are worth and leave the 8 per cent that they are after in your pocket.

The School That Gets Results’ MOTHERS OF MEN READ THISl The principal difficulty with the whole public school system is the ab­ sence of individual responsibility. The teacher has grown to feel that he is individually responsible only for the proper hearing of his classes. He is not to blame. He is the victim of circumstances over which he has no control. / Our boys and girls are brought up and encouraged to feel that their individual responsibility ceases immediately that they have passed a gradeThey are not to blame. They, like the teacher, are victims of circumstance. All of which is wrong. . _ Any school that is worthy of the name of school should teach young people now to live as well as how to read and how to write. It should teach personal, individual responsibility. It should teach manhood. It should teach womanhood. It should teach character. It should be a process of development. The Development of Esch Individual Student Should fee Brought Out According to the Individual C. J. Anabrilht, Bntlnw Expert Needs of That Boy or Girl. • , The class system of instruction never did and never will develop men and women. ’ Young men and young women from sixteen to twenty year* of age are in the most formative period of their ives. They need constant direction. They need personal supervision. They need to have an ambition to be some­ body in the world so developed FROM WITHIN that no power on earth can stop them from reaching the high­ point to which they are mentally, and physically capable of climbing. And that brings me to the work of this school. This is what this institution does. develops manhood. It develops womanhood. It trains those young people who come within its re ambitious—so that they are in earnest—so that they recognize and appreciate their personal el personally and individually responsible for the welfare and development of every student in I hold every teacher personally and individually responsible for the development fend advancement of every student. I hold every student personally and individually responsible for the outcome of his own work. This school teaches truth. It teaches honesty. It instills and encourages ambition. It develops—it makes men—it makes women. ° ' And that is not all. S.CH°OL HELPS young people to help thembELVEb. It teaches the fundamentals of business. It develops them along the lines for which they have the most natural talent. It doubles their earning capacities. It start* them out in life with that which thev \mpst need-A TECHNICAL BUSINESS TRAINING backed by chaZ . acter. And then— Our “SERVICE DEPARTMENT” places them in high grade buak ness openings where advancement and salary and success are the final re­ sults. This “Service Department” advises with our students “for life.” It helps them out on all their difficult problems. It encourages them. It advances them to greater and better field* of endeavor. ■ NOW MOTHERS OF MEN—HEED THIS I want to talk with you. I want to meet you personally, face to lace, in my office. I want to explain to you the great work that this school ia doing. I want to tell you the need* of your boys and girls. I wot to explain to you why I can develop them into the kind of men and women that you want them to be. Into the kind of men that will be good citi­ zens, good husband*, good father* and successes in life. Into the kind of women who are independent, forceful, energetic, successful. I am at my office each day, and I have time to see you and help you solve your problems. My business is SUCCESS BI III.DING— Riiading for LIFE, and I want your co-operation.

Lelan Dickerson “If It*Had Not Been For Mr. Argubright’s School, I Hate to |.Think THE SCHOOL THJ!TGETS RESULTS Where 1 Would Be To'Day” “The Business Discipline you get at the Michigan Business and Normal College is worth as much the knowledge they give you. The way they take hold of young men and women, and teach them what is the right thingdOydo and what is not, and then make theip.do the right things m the right way is invaluable to every young man or woman who plan# to enter the world of busi­ ness.” CHARLES MARBLE, Purchasing Agent Toasted Corn Hake Co. Mr. Marble is a former graduate of this school. He said furth­ er: “We have relatives in the business college business, and before I entered Mr. Argubright’s school, my. mother made a thorough * investigation of both the Michigan Business and Normal College - and tire one operated by our relatives, and decided that Mr. Argu. bright’s school was the one for me to attend. Motor Car Co., says this: to the Buick “Mr. Kilpatrick says that he has had several young men from your school apd that they all made good.” “Seventeen of the office employes of this company are former graduates oj his school," said Mr. Kellogg after making the above statement, and then he continued: “It is surprising how much his schooling docs for them. My boys are going to business school when they get old enough. I would rather they had a business edu­ cation than a college education, because the public schools do not give young people a training that in any way fits them for business —for money-making, and that is what young people need." “We have employed a number of students rom this school (Michigan Business and Nor­ mal College) and have had opportunity to per­ sonally know their work. We are pleased to say that students from this school are better prepared for office portions .than from the average commercial school or the commercial department of a high school.” . J. C« WALKER, Manager, Division of Schools and Colleges Burroughs Adding Machine Co, . “I assure you that I will do everything possible to try to make it plain to them that an -education, such as is dealt out to them by your college, is the most essential thing in a young man’s life/ Manuel Hays, in reporting back on a po­ sition to which we sent him I never paid any attention to any school until I went there. Many of the students have felt that Mr. Argubright was unkind \Vhen he talked severely to-them, but that is just what they get in the business world if they do not do things right. His lectures on. business topics, I consider many times what tbe business course ^osts. ** * ’ . JOHN L. KELLOGG, Secretary • ' >. Toasted Corn Hake Co. ' A.S. HERRMANN, Office Manager, Burroughs Adding Machine Company. "If they had charged me five times what they did charge I would consider that I was not then paying for the good I received. .... and when I have come in contact 'with graduates from other business colleges I have noted more than ever thq superior training of the Michigan Normal and Business College students over those of other schools.” \ , < F. C. EDDY, With the United States Register Co. "I admire your honesty. You are doing what every other man ought to do, for he knows deep down in his heart that it is true that it does not take from seven.to' twelve months to prepare stenographers and a good business course requires from V .on9,.to two ycars......................... We have no right to quote to the public time that applies to only the exceptional student, the one out of fifty." . . J- E. GILL, General Manager, Rider-Moore-Stewart Schools, Trenton, N. J. The Above Facts Prove Two Things Plainly FIRST, That a business education is an investment that is both. wise and profitable for all young men and women who must work for their living. * » S&ond, That the Michigan Business and Normal College is the onp best school to attend. The Thirty-secotZf Annual Fall Term starts next September, and it is going to be the beginning of successful careers for many young people. It is going to turn the (tide of affairs in the lives of those who are willing to apply themselves to learning the Science of Business and the-rudiments of- business, such as bookkeeping, typewriting, shorthand, cor­ respondence, business law, penmanship, spelling, etc. Are you going to be one of the successful graduates of this successful school, or are you going to drift through life, on the hit or miss plan? Are you going to make your way in the world, or mal^e room for others? Have you the energy, the grit, the sand, the backbone, to do things for yourself, or are ydtrthe weakling thjjt the world uses to its own advantage? ‘ ' - , This is Certain, Now Mark This Well The young man or young woman, who his not the courage to try, who has not the judgment to decide, who his not thc.braia to see the advantages of this business course, is dooij^l to be one of the masses of humans who never get any where. That’s astrong statement—some will think it uncharitable—but it is a fact. And those who realize it will be successful in life. They arc the people I wantjto meet and talk with, and , to them these words are a kindness. The number of students that we can accommodate is limited to 180, and reservations arc being made rapidly thcsqflast few days. If yoo have not yet made your decision,, come to sec me and talk it over. You win see clearly after fifteen minutes in my office why this school is a success, why it pays yon big returns and why our graduates attain such high positions. If you cannot call, write me today.

MICHIGAN BUSINESS and NORMAL COLLEGE TRAINING ^The Ladder to Success Whether you wish t<$ be a lawyer, doctor, an electrical engineer, civil engineer^or whatever you raoit wish to do in life, MICHIGAN BUSINESS time off for her musical studies. She graduated at the Detroit Conservatory of Music. Miss Seeley is one of the best friends of the Michigan Business & Normal College, she feels grateful for what we did for her. AND NORMAL COLLEGE TRAINING POINTS THE WAY UP. Whatever you do in life, whatever special, tech­ nical training you may get, it will be of little value io you without the ability to “CASH IN.” That is the one great beauty of Michigan Busi­ ness & Normal College training,—you can always -CASH IN” on it. • I Alden C. Bailey a “Cash In” education wanted to study law. He wanted to earn his own way. He took the full Business Administration course at* this institution, supplementing the same with Shorthand and Typewriting. He worked for a time in a business office! -to get a “reserve-fundahead, then he went to the University of Tennessee. Michigan Business & Normal College training saved him a year's time there; it enabled him to EARN ALL OF I(IS EXPENSES and to graduate with honors. Mr. Bailey iataow a successful attorney -at Seattle, Washington, iff the employ of the United States Government doing special research work for the Land Department. Raymond E. Morford , catered the Michigan Business & Normal College with no particular thought of his future. Mr. Argux Kght advised him to take the full Business Admin•ation course with Shorthand and Typewriting, the completion of his work, Mr. Morford was advised to go to Chicago and study law. A position was secured for him where he could earn more his necessary expenscs and also pursue a.course study at Northwestern University. Michigan liness & Normal College training saved Mr. Mormore than a year’s time. He completed his law at the head of his class and had money gh left to start a law practice. Mr. Morford **“ can 'cash in’ on Michigan Business & _ lege training every day of the year and hour of the day?’ Mr. Morford is now lo­ st Bremerton, Washington. His law practice him more than $3,500 a year. has neither father, mother, nor friends to help her. Her all-consuming ambition is to get a University training along special lines. Mr. Argubright first » advised a Business Course with Shorthand and Typewriting, . G X ArgvMght, dmImm Expvt Ada V. Sealey dcgiretl-to study mutic. She took Michigan Busines» & Normal College training u a Udder to he^musi- / cal education. She finished the course here with credit to herself. Sh$ secured first a fine position with the Postum Cereal Company, paid up Ker debts and got a bank account. We then located her with a Detroit concern where she earned $15 a week and She took Mr. Argubrfght’s advise and did the work exceedingly well. She was in debt when her course was completed. In two years' time she had paid all her debts and saved enough money to go one year to a college preparatory school, which she did last year. . At lhe close of the college year the ‘‘Service Department” imediately placed her in a position for the summer months, and HAS JUST COMPLET­ ED ARRANGEMENTS WHEREBY SHE WILL WORK THIS YEAR AT A NEAR-BY LITER­ ARY COLLEGE DOING THE BOOKKEEPING AND SHORTHAND WORK IN THE COLLEGE OFFICE. FOR THIS SHE GETS $40 A MONTH WITH THE PRIVILEGE OF TAKING SUCH COLfcCGE STUDIES AS SHE CAN CARRY? THIS, GIRL GETS A UNIVERSITY TRAIN­ ING AND EARNS $40 A MONTH WHILE DO­ ING IT. . Surely Michigan Business & Normal College points “THIS WAY UP.” A young man recently came tq us who desired . to be an electrical engineer. We advised the full Business and Shorthand course which he ought to take in a reasonable length of time. We told him that when our course of study was completed we '.would arrange for him a position in Chicago where he may earn from $50 to $60 (or possibly $75 a month, and have time to atteftd the Armour Institqyorr of Technology for a special electrical engi­ neering training. If this young man will fojlow our advice he will accomplish two things:— ' ’ First. He will get a THOROUGH BUSINESS Business and Normal C "T/u School Thai Geis Results" Creek, Michigan. TRAINING that will enable him to "CASH IN" on his technical, electrical training, as nothing else can do, and he will be able to Earn for Himself ail the money necessary to get the technical training. And besides that, he will not spend any more time in getting this and his electrical training than ' he will if he gets just the electrical^ because Michi­ gan Business & Normal College training has always saved one to two years’ University work for every graduate. WE HAVE ONE YOUlfc MAN WITH VS NOW WHO IS PLANNING ON THE LAW. He will complete his work here in September. Ar­ rangements are already practically completed for -him to take a position with a Chicago law office where he will get $50 a month. He will have time from his office work for Northwestern University work. Does it require any very hard thinking to see that when his law course is completed he will be a much better lawyer and much better prepared to go out and fight his battles in the world than he would be without this special education? If you have an ambition in the more than the ordinary and don’t * just how to do what you moot do, call at the College Office for a 15 utes interview with Mr. Argu will point “the way up” and as probably no one else is capable Mr. Argub'right is always glad ambitious young man or woman, ness is building for success •nd Ms ested in you. �■me. »WCWI Work* In my hou r.

But so many have asked us whether we are not going to give away any more dishes, that we have again con­ cluded to offer them as a premium with “Purity Flour-” The Dishes We Give You The dishes that we give you are not the cheap, heavy, clumsy patterns. They are dishes that will ornament any home and will give you excellent service. The Dinner Sets we give you consist of 42 PIECES made of HIGH GRADE SEMI-VITREOUS hand decorated porcelain ware of the BEST QUALITY made in the United States. The dishes, as you know, are quite similar to Havi­ land China. They are of neat, pretty pattern with a plain gold band around. The decorations are BURNED IN and will NOT FADE or WASH OFF. Every piece is perfect in shape and burned to a very ifglaze, therefore, will not chip, or break, as easily lost wares do. Why We Are Doing It We are giving you these dishes just because WE WANT YOU . „ _________________ TO USE PURITY FLOUR. .. We want to demonstrate to EVERY HOUSEWIFE that PURITY FLOUR IS THE BEST FLOUR MADE; and WHY shouldn’t it be? Every PARTICLE of it is MADE from wheat GROWN RIGHT HERE IN BARRY CO., and there’s NO BETTER flour-making wheat grown any­ where. Bread, cakes, pastries, etc. made from the flour of Michigan wheat holds its moisture longer. That’s the reason why you are not “eating crusts” in 24 hours when you use PUIUTY FLOUR.

There were Five Hundred Stockholder* on the books of z I The courses of study are too arranged as to give each pupil a thorough, practical education, best suited to make intelligent, useful citizens. | ’ THE HIGH SCHOOL OFFERS THE FOLLOWING COURSES: COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE:—This course is intended to meet the needs of students who are planning to continue their school work beyohd the high school. Graduates from this course are qualified to enter, with- I out examination, any state normal school, college or university of the North Central Associajon, which ineludes Michigan and ) eighteen other states. 4.V ! GENERAL COURSE:—This course is offered to students who wish to • attend high school for the cultural value and who have not fully decided aw to the kind of work they wish to pursue after graduating from high I | sdiool. The studies of this edurse are largely elective and may be so selected as to permit students ttf change to the College Preparatory Course or to the— County Normal. % COMMERCIAL7DEPARTMENT:—The aim of this department is to pre1 pare young men and young women for actual business life. The latest and 1 most approved othnmericial forms and methods are used in-all classes includ­ ing aritametid^ penmanship, business forms, book-keeping, commercial law; ' ' stenography--and type-writing. Students who have successfully completed this course are in great demand. The call for those who are thoroughly pre1 pared in book-keeping or in stenography and type-writing is greater than the stehool has been able to supply. Those who have been out of school for some time and wish to enter special or short courses to prepare themselves for po­ sitions with good salaries should consult the superintendent, the principal or . Miss Grace N. Bowman, supervisor of this department BARRY COUNTY NORMAL:—No person ought to attempt to teach in | any school, rural or graded, without special preparation. School boards and ithe general public are coming to realize this fact more and more and are de­ manding trained teachers for all positions. The course leads to a teacher’s certificate good for three years in any ‘ jot of the county having not more than two teachers. The certificate is ewable for an additional three years in case of successful experience in :hing. Students at least seventeen years of age who wish to prepare for jhing and have earned twelve credits ih high school approved by the nty Normal Board are qualified to enter the normal, and the- work of the mal may be substituted for the senior year of the General Course in the h school provided four of the twelve Credits have been earned in the Hasfs school. AGRICULTURAL COURSE:—T6 meet the growing demands for the idling of the science and art of agriculture in the public schools, a short roe was given last year in the high school as a subetitute for some of the ular science work. This proved to. be especially practical and very popu;with the students. Those who desire to pursue agriculture during the king'school year will be permitted to choose their studies from the/ KU* in Agriculture for High Schools of Michigan” recently issued by the ■Ogtimud Department of the Michigan Agricultural College. lir.

A Good Product is Result of ELquipmerit and Help With all the recent improvements in machinery, making the best product of any kind is largely a matter 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 equipped with the latest improved machinery that mill CANNOT make the BEST QUALITY flour. The French’s White Lily Flour that we are now making with.our brand new equipment of machinery, is. so far SUPERIOR to anything that we cpyld makl with our old machines thai there b NO COMPARISON. We don’t charge any more for it than before, but our customers are so much better pleased, with the QUALITY of the flour we are now making, that we feel well repaid for making1 the changes.

ARGUBRIGHT HAS BEEN TWENTY YEARS PERFECTING, ANU THAT IS NOW 100* EFFICIENT; THIS MAKES YOU 100% EFFICIENT WHEN YOU GRADUATE ’ The Managers and Department Managers of practically all mf.'Xtic biggest industrial concerns in Southern^! ichigan are MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NORMAL COLLEGE graduates. These men earn more money each year than professional men of any kind. They earn far-more than small tradesmen or shopkeepers. They earn double, treble, quadru­ ple, yes, ten times the salary paid to the man who works with his hands. ~ If you will look over the college register and see the names of those who graduated ten years ago, and then look where they are today, you will be satisfied that MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NOR-, MAL COLLEGE Training pays back thousands of dollars for every dollar invested in it. The records show more than four thousand successful gradu­ ates. Some of them own great business indus­ tries—they are general managers, they are sales managers, purchasing agents, office managers, chief accountants, private secretaries, cashiers, auditors, credit men, etc. We teach the most practical shorthand in ex­ istence, the "PERNIN” and the "SUCCESS.” "PERNIN” is the cream of the light-line, connect­ ed vowel systems. "SUCCESS" is the acme of perfection in Pitmanic Shorthand. -No*, only do you learn shorthand1 here, but you learn everything else that is necessary for you to go out into the business world and become a first-class private secretary, with all the opportunitieyahead of you that such a training means. / Michigan Business ng Normal College Training Means Success in Life visiting Mra.

' ' “SUCCESS" Shorthand is the result of the combined experience, of mor than twnty of the world’s greatest reporters. It is based on the pure Pitmanic System. There is only one shaded, dis­ joined vowel system of shorthand, and that is Pitmanic Shorthand. Munson Shorthand is Munson’s text-book on Pitman Shorthand. Graham Short­ hand is Graham’s text-book on Pitman Shorthand, and so on down the line. But here is one point worth thinking about—most <?f these men'have been dead for from twenty-five to, fifty years, and the text-books have not been revised since. "SUC­ CESS" Shorthand is a modern presentation of the Pitmanic Alphabet and it is taught exclusively at the MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NORMAL COL­ LEGE under Mr. Argubright’s personal supervis­ ion. Success Shorthand is good shorthand. You learn shorthand quickly under the direc—dion of Mr. Sillers and Mr. Argubright, who for years and years have taught young people practical, workable shorthand, typewriting, and all the thousand-and-one details that enter into a stenograph­ er's course. The best evidence of the superiority of the teaching of this school is the fact that M. B. & N. C. graduates norbnly occupy the best positions in th? business world, but they secure the biggest salaries, and are in constant demand. Not a week passes that we do not receive more calls for efficient workers tfian we are able to supply. Our graduates are usually spoken for long before they have fin­ ished the course. , The Truth About Shorthand “PERNIN" Shorthand and “SUCCESS" Short­ hand are 100% efficient. They are radically differ­ ent. “PERNIN" Shorthand is pure Duployan Short­ hand. Every basic sound in the English language is represented by a basic character. Vowels are ail indicated by circles or half circles. It is capable of being written at the highest possible rate of speed. It is conceded by even its enemies to be the easiest system extant to read. Every word written by a Pernin writer can be read by every other writer of the same system. Pernin Shorthand is the best connected vowel, light-line system known today. ''The School Thai Gets Results' West Main Street Battle Cre< Througt^all of this training is interwoven spe­ cial, lectures along different lines by Mr. Argubrigjil and other Business Experts. Many graduates have said that the lectures alone are worth ten tifaes the price of tuition. The only way you can appreciate the value of M. B. & N. C.'Training Is to get it for YOURSELF, and use it as YOUR LADDER TO SUCCESS. It is a strong and sturdy ladder. It will not bend. It will not break. It will stand the strain of all life’s winds and storms, and pt y— • safe as high as you can climb. We offer a special saving in M» those we start now.

PEOPLE HAVE COME TO LOOK TO THE BAN­ 2ND-BECAUSE NER FOB ANNOUNCEMENTS OF AUCTION SALES. The success of the BANNER'S plan of advertising sales has naturally led people to ex­ pect that an auction sale in Barry Co. will be advertised in the BANNER, just as they expect the letter carrier will deliver their mail. , a RD—BECAUSE OF ITS SMALL EXPENSE. W« make a uniform ^charge for our service in reaching practically all the people of Barry Co. that is but little above what used .to be charged for sale bills that were read by only a few of the people. 4 TH—BECAUSE IT PUTS THE SELLER IN TOUCH WITH HIS ^BEST AVAILABLE CUSTOMER IN BARRY COUNTY. The BAN­ NER goes into practically every home in Barry Co. The people naturally look to the BANNER to learn about Auction Sales. If a Barry Co. man want, for his own purposes any tool or live stock-advertised in any sale, he knows just where to go to find it. He will be prepared to bid what he be­ lieves the article or animal is worth, because he has use for it.' There will be no element of speculation in his bid. With the old plan, the people in the immediate neighborhood were the’only ones who knew of the sale, and they would generally bid because they hoped to buy something cheap. C TH—BECAUSE flT AVOIDS HAVING TWO AUCTION SALES IN dTHE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE SAME DAY. The BAN­ NER makes dates for the' auctioneers and practically al! of them report the sales they book to this office, which is the recognized auction sale hcadquirters. If we find that two sales are booked for the iume locality we can and do at once take it up with the auctioneers, and arrange for a change of one of the sales, thereby avoiding spoiling both sales. This ia an important con­ sideration. '< > ’ ’ ■’ /’ A TH—BECAUSE THE BANNER’S PLAN REACHES ALL THE PEOUPLE OF BARRY COUNTY WHILE THE AUCTION BILL REACH­ ED ONLY A FEW IN THE IMMEDIATE LOCALITY OF THE SALE. This is^so evident that any elaboration of this point is quite unnecessary. 7TH—BECAUSE THE BANNER CONTAINING THE AUCTION 1 ADVERTISING IS LAID AWAY AND PRESERVED IN THE HOME WHILE THE BILL IS SUBJECT TO THE WINDS AND RAINS AS IT IS TACKED ON THE FENCES AND TREES. ~Ahy printing ol large general circuit an auction cal: that papers each week ai .

Io the past six years, over 750 Auction Sales have been advertised in the BANNER to tlie multini satisfaction of the sellers and buyers.. We hava letters from many who hive advertised their sales' in the BANNER showing that on a single article they have realized enough more than they expected to pay all the expenses of the auction. In all cases when results have been com­ pared with expectations the sales advertised ia the BANNER have exceeded expectations, in some cases by several hundred dollars as we can show by let­ ters and personal references.

Every BUSHEL of grain that you raise, and sell from your farm TAKES AWAY just so much fertility. Some lands cabstand "cropping" better than others, but in a few years the BEST of land in this county, or state will decrease in fertility and eventually become "worthless” from a producing standpoint. How Io Be Good Io Your Land There’s c^ne sure way—USE HOMESTEAD FERTILIZERS. They "put back” in to the land the very dement you "draw out” when you take off a crop of grain. Homestead Bone Black Fertilizer is made chiefly 6f BONE and BLOOD. In each ton of it there is a FULL^po POUNDS OF PURE GROUND BONE. It is more than a stimulant to the land, and its benefits can be noticed for several years. That is WHY it is BETTER for your land Than chemical fertilizers, which are useful only for ONE YEAR. In oOr farming operations we 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 busi­ ness. WE KNOW WHAT THEY WILL DO.

The courses of study are so arranged as to give each pupil a thorough, : practical education, best suited to make intelligeht, useful citizens. THE HIGH SCHOOL OFFERS THE FOLLOWING COURSES: COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE:—This course is intended to meet the needs of students who ate planning to*continue their school work be­ yond the high school. Graduates from this course are qualified to enter, with­ out examination, any state normal school, college or university of the North Central Association, which includes Michigan and eighteen other states. • * * GENERAL COURSE:—This course is offered to/students who wish to attend high school for the cultural value and who have not fully decided as to the kind of work they wish to pursue after graduating from high school. The studies of this course are largely elective and may be so selected as to permit students to change to the College Preparatory Course or to the County Normal COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT:—The aim of this department is to pre­ pare young men and young women for actual business life. The latest and most approved commericial forms and methods are used in all classes'includ­ ing arithmetic, penmanship, business forms, book-keeping, commercial law,, stenography and type-writing. Students who have successfully completed this course are in great demand. The call for those who are thoroughly pre­ pared in book-keeping or in stenography and type-writing is greater than the School has been able to supply. Those who have been out of school for some time and wish to enter special or'short courses to prepare themselves for po­ sitions with good salaries should consult the superintendent, the principal or Miss Grace N. Bowman, supervisor of this department. BARRY COUNTY NORMAL:—No person ought to attempt to teach in any school, rural or graded, without special preparation. School boards and the general public are coming to realize this fact more and more and are de­ manding trained teachers for all positions. The course leads to a teacher’s certificate good for three’years in any school of the county having not more than two teachers. The certificate is renewable for an. additional three years in case of successful experience in teaching. Students at least seventeen years of age who wish to-prepare for teaching and have earned twelve credits in high school approved by the county NormaVBoard are qualified to enter the normal, and the work of the normal may be substituted for the senior year of the General Course in the high school provided four of the twelve credits have been earned in the Has­ tings school. AGRICULTURAL COURSE:—To meet the growing demands for the teaching of the science and art of agriculture in the public schools, a short course was given last year in the high school as a substitute for some of the regular science work. This proved to be especially practical and very popu­ lar with the students. Those who desire to pursue agriculture during the , joining school year will be permitted to choose their studies from the “Course in Agriculture for High Schools of Michigan” recently issued by the - Educational Department of the Michi gan Agricultural College. Mr. Leland Markley, a graduate from the Agricultural College of the Illi­ nois University, has been employed to take charge of thi? department and L. to teach natural science classes in the high school. Mr. Markley, who is a ! Michigan man, completed three years of the Michigan Agricultural College and is most highly recommended by that institution. L Superintendent W. E. Conkling will be in Hastings next week and will be pleased to answer school inquiries and communications, also to meet stu­ dents and parents who wish to consult with him concerning school matters. hersesboers, but historians. declare1 that tho Gauls before the Christian era ' were the first to apply artificial pro-j tection of tha hoof.

Why Not Acquire the Habitof Saving? Why not acquire the HABIT OF SAVING? You can acquire it just as easily as you can the habit of spend­ ing all that you earn. There are a good many young men in this city and vicinity who could easily become “inde­ pendent” in a very few years if they would only acquire the “HABIT OF SAVING.” They would be ranked among thp “successful” men. They would derive a nice income from their deposits, and .would have the “ready money” to take advantage.of any “opportunity” that comes along for safe and profitable investment. , Young men especially should learn that NOW is the time to acquire the habit of saving. They cannot learn any younger.

Every BUSHEL of grain that you raise, and sell from your farm TAKES AWAY juat so much fertility. Some lands can stand “cropping” better than others, but in a few years the BEST of land in this county, or state will 'decrease in fertility and eventually become "worthless" from a producing standpoint. How to Bo Good to Your Land There’s one sure way-USE HOMESTEAD FERTILIZERS. They “put back" in to die land the very element you “draw out” when you take off a crop of grain. Iloniestcad Bone Black Fertilizer is made chiefly of BONE and BLOOD. Jn each ton of it there is a FULL 900 POUNDS OF PURE GROUND BONE. It is more than a stimulant to the land, and its benefits can be noticed for several year^. That is WHY jt is BETTER for your land' than chemical fertilizers, which are useful only for ONE YEAR. In our farming operations wc used a great deal of Homestead F(;rti|iz«rs. They gave by far the best fcsults of any of the many kinds we tried. That’s why we secured the Agency for them when we went into the Elevator busi­ ness. WE KNOW WH^T THEY WILL DO. Wcknow that everyone who uses them will be pleased—and that’s the kind of article we sell. hfow 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. “The Count of Lwxctnbonrg.* Calvary by keeping th* command­ ment* Remember the plain words of Rom. 711-S; Ivtl; S Cor. 1:7-11.

They tell young peo­ ple all sorts of things—most of them untrue— about the “best” systems of Shorthand, the "most rapid” systems of Shorthand, the "quickest to learn," the "easiest to write," etc., etc. As a mat­ ter of fact, most of these people, in fact all of them, know absolutely nothing about Shorthand that Shorthand. “Munson" Shorthand is “Munson’s” text-book on Pitman Shprthand. Some are ardentdevotees of "Dement.” Dement wrote a book on Pitman Shorthand. He claimed to be an inven­ tor, but he wasn’t. Some talk about “Gregg Shorthand.” Gregg, like Dement, claims to be an inventor, but he is not an inventor. Gregg Shorthand Is Gregg’s text­ book on Duployan Shorthand, with about one-half of the best part of the system left out. “Pemin” Shorthand, is Pernin's presentation of Duployan Shorthand.

Michigan Business and Normal College Graduate Wins World’s Championship. "SUCCESS Shorthand is standard Pitmanic Shorthand in its-most improved state, -it has in­ corporated in it all the improvements which prac­ tical followers: of the profession have-made. It is fotHjdcd on the standard principles which arc used in all Pitmanic systems. It is the. combined experience of more than twenty of as successful shorthand writers as have ever been produced. •The last revision of “SUCCESS" .Shorthand Les­ sons was done by Mr. Frank R. Hanna, who for many years was a reporter iff Washington, D. C. There assisted also in. the preparation of these lessons Mr. Howard H. Edwards, for more than •thirty-years an expert. Shorthand writer in Chi­ cago. “SUCCESS" Shorthand is the Shorthand < that Mr. Argubright has always taught at the MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NORMAL COL­ LEGE. ’ Shorthand, like every other science in the world, will continue to lie improved so long as meh and women write it. “SUCCESS" Shorthand is the most up-tohbtc and- the nearest to a perfect Pitmanic System which has tints far been pro­ duced. The compilers of . “SUCCESS" Shorthand Lessons-have drawn upon the.combined experi­ ences of hundreds cd- Shorthand reporters in sim­ plifying the bhslc rules of . Shorthand and have adopted all the expedients and shortcuts which qual­ ify Shorthand,reporters for expert work. ’'SUCCESS" Shorthand is the Shorthand writ­ ten by Clyde H. Marshall, who made the highest . record for. speed and accuracy ever made for steno­ graphers of less than ten.’years’ experience, in 1908. Mr. Marshall's rcrord for 1908 was 242 words a' minute. In 1910, Mr, Marshall won the champion­ ship of lhe world. The higheat record for accur­ acy made-on solid matter, dictated at 240 words a . minute, was made by Mr. Marshall in 1911, with a record of 338 words a minute, 99.2 per cent accu­ rate, Mr. Marshall also holds the highest record ever made on solid, non-lcgal matter dictated at 200 words a minute. Mr. Marshall made a record > on this claps of work in 1911 of 98.2 per cent ac­ curacy. Mr. Marshall's record has never been sur­ passed by any Shorthand writer of aiiy system un earth. It can be truthfully said that Graham, Ben Pitman, Pitman-Howard, Day, Barnes, Moran. Munson, Osgoodby, Gallagher, Marsh (and per­ haps half a dozen more not so' generally known "systems”) are4in reality different author’s ver­ sions of one system. Wc arc willing to concede that they are'all good. "SUCCESS" Shorthand has the great advantage over the text-books on Pit­ man Shorthand in that it gives the benefit of the most recent improvement* down to the year 1913, while all the other "systems" enumerated above arc dated back many years. Either they arc reprints (with recent copyright dates) of matter which was compiled years ago, or they arc but slightly im­ proved. Tor instance, Andrew J.) Graham has been ' dead for about thirty years. Mr. Dement has not been engaged in Shorthand work for twenty years. Ben Pitman, while being probably the most vener­ ated Shorthand writer now living, has probably done no Shorthand work since cither you or I were born. Isaac Pitman still clings to the awkward word-signs and outlines which were printed in a 4 text-book of fifty years ago. And so on, with all the other Pitmanic Systems that you can mention. They do not bring Shorthand down-to-dalc. nor give the studerit the benefit of decent improve­ ments which arc made at the very source of all stenographic advancement—the Shorthand rci»ortcr's. table. No Business Man Can Afford to or Will Take You Into His Office Without the Right Preparation 1 If he is the Hind of business man that will offer you an opportunity for advancement, he cannot take the-thpe'to correct' yoyr: crro^, ' T will* and‘ * he he makes a SUCCESS, he must attend to his busi­ ness, and not assume the duties of a teacher. not accept your in­ different word in or- ‘ <|er to edpcatq you for business. His duties arc top’ great for him ’ td take the time his office to turn into a. school, even though he were inclin­ ed to do so “PERNIN" Shorthand and “SUCCESS" Short­ ' hand are radically different. "PERNIN” Short­ hand is taught by Mr. Sillers at the MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NORMAL COLLEGE. Mr. Sillers is a reporter of wide and varied experience, a Shorthand writer of the very highest possible de­ gree of efficiency. He knows Shorthand all the way through. "PERNIN" Shorthand is the product erf a scientific brain. "PERNIN" Short­ band id pure "Duplpyan" Shorthand with all modern improvements. “PERNIN" Shorthand is just as near perfection as it is possible for the human mind to conceive. To repeat—there is no similarity between the (ight-lmc, connected-vowel "PERNIN" and the light anil shaded Pitmanic. The average speed capabilities of "PERNIN" Shorthand are without doubt fully as great as was ever attained by any Pitmanic System. "PER­ NIN" Shorthand is easy to read because everything is written out just as it would be in loijghand. Every word is written directly ahead as it is pro­ nounced, not backward and it is read in the same way that it is written. Every Shorthand expedient, every shortcut, every device known to the rapid rc|>ortcr is embodied in our teaching of "PERNIN” Shorthand. "Pernin-Duployan". Shorthand is most com- prchcnsivc. It is simplified to the last degree. It is practical. Many of the post rapid Shorthand writers of this section .of the country, court report­ ers holding official position^ throughout the United States at salaries In "Pernin" Shorthand there is a definite basic character for every basic sound in the English language. The entire word is written complete, and ca'n be read- like print Writers of "Pentin" Shorthand have no difficulty in taking-legal, techni­ cal, medical or any other kind of dictation and read­ ing the same just as though it-were written in long­ hand. Another point of advantage for “Hemin” Shorthand is that it can be adapted to the mental requirements of the learner. That is, “Pernin” Shorthand is more flexible,than Pitman Shorthand. There is less memorizing to do.- For that reason it is an easier system to learn. Wc have taught "Pernin" Shorthand for thirty-one years and know what it will do.

That means you’ll need lots of coal to keep your home warm and comfortable. How’re you fixed? Got yours yet? or are you waiting for a sharp north-wester to drive you to the coal office where you’re likely to find a hundred others all clamoring for their coal at the same time, with half of them due to be disappointed. . Better not wait too long. Procrastination never got a man anything yet, and with cold weather coming as sure as shooting, you can’t get your coal orders in any too soon.

Anything that separates you from The Ten Commandments, 1. consuming public from being defrauded; to give labor fair wages and good working condhiottt; to give capital a fair return on actual­ investments, and to give special ability in management or in mastery of a business adequate compensation. All this can be and should be attained as far as legislation can be effective to that end. But the tendency is to expect too lAuch of legislation. Not until recent years did.it occur to the American people that it might be well to regulate business at all. When it was measur­ ably accomplished by the inter-state commerce commission, in cotn■pelling the railroads to deal equitably with all classes of shippers, then- a mania to lambast business, particularly corporate business, seemed to seize the American people; and the number and character <?( laws designed in the various states and in the natibii to hamper and restrict the industrial life of this country, have been little short of appalling. Much of this proposed legislation was plainly ticsigned not to regulate but to punish in the spirit of "getting even” with corporations for their pa.-t shortcomings, real or fancied. There' could Ire just one effect of all these crude and in many instances tihfair attenipts to deal with our business problems. Capi­ tal is always timid.' And plainly, in these days, especially in pend­ ing and prospective national laws, capital scents danger to safe investments. The result is hesitancy, a slowing-down process in iotir imlustrial life that may become very serious if uncertainty shalf Work <3.00 New System Ashe) Olar Smith and wl particularly the broad-minded managers of such institutions as the International Harvester Co., the U. S. Steel Co., the General Elec­ . tnc Co., and many others, have come to sec that any business in which the public is or may be conocrned as a consumer, or even when the public interest is solely that of the human side of the relationship between those employing and those employed in any business, that the public interest must lie recognized as a part of that -business, and that the public have rights in such business which cannot be ignored by those whose money or business ability or labof- arc tjirectly concerned therein. The necessity for sane regulation of business by law is a princi­ ple now too well recognized to need argument. And such regula­ tion must be national in its scope and .reasonable in its provisions to Ire fair or effective. But the aim of regulation should be the en­ couragement of all legitimate business; and. sp far as such worthy objects can Ire attained, the ptyjxisc in it should be to protect the | A bigot la a man of setnsthlsg that i unto lilmseli , HRYTH1NG Avoid The Temptation • Money in the “pocket” is too often spent for things you CANNOT AFFORD and could well DO WITH­ OUT. How much BETTER OFF you would be if you had forgotten to carry it with you. The BEST WAY to avoid the temptation of spending it is to place it on de­ posit in our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT where it will draw 3 per cent interest and^ we compound the Interest twice each year. Why NotAcquire the Habitof Saving? Why not acquire the HABIT OF SAVING? You can acquire it just as easily as you can the habit of spend­ ing all that you earn. There are a good many young men in this city and vicinity who could easily become “inde­ pendent” in a very few y.ears if they would only acquire the "HABIT OF SAVING.’^ They would be ranked among the .‘‘successful” men. They would derive a nice income from their deposits and would have the "ready money” to take advantage of any “opportunity” that comes along for sale and profitable investment.

WHY? Because it has, on several occasions, been the cause of flour being sold at RIDICULOUSLY LOW PRICES by competition, in its FRANTIC ENDEAVOR TO HOLD BUSINESS. Purity Flour bus also been the cause of the price of wheat being RAISED, which HELPS THE FARMER, and in consequence both producer and consumer liave been bene­ fited.

Lost Motion Device. Deep Crown Sounding Board. Best Quality Fell Hammers. Highest Grade Perfect Gauged Strings. Ivory Keys. Light Responsive Action. Friedrich Scale, Best Grade Full Iron Frame. Built-up Pin Block and Back; in fact ever/* thing that should be part of a High Grade Piano, is encom­ passed in the FRIEDRICH. • Elegant in appearance, with a wonderful tone that is of a sweet singing quality and with a volume of tone coloring that has caused, many to say: "it has the tone of a Grand." The beautiful sympathetic tone of the FRIEDRICH appeals to all who have heard it and especially to the true musician; its sweetness throughout the scale, its evenness everywhere as­ tonishes all who hear it and its great volume of pure tone has no superior in an upright piano. The FRIEDRICH is not only the musician’s piano, but the Ideal Home Piano. Its adjustment is perfect to the great­ est degree and guaranteed to remain so. In fact everything that enters into the construction of a FRIEDRICH is guaranteed and finally the whole Piano—Everything—is guaranteed and that guarantee is backed by our forty-year-old reputation in Grand Rapids. All FRIEDRICH Pianos are shipped on approval and are retnra* able ehour expense if they do not prove, oo examination, to be the ideal prwios for whatever service is required ol them.

Oopoifto, Nwly $$$0,0004)0 DIRECTORS That President Wilson is a patriot, well-meaning and sincere, is not doubted even by those who do not sympathize with his pol­ icies or belong to his party.. But wc believe the nation is begin­ ning to realize that the President is too much disposed to determine things from the academic instead of the practical standpoint, and to reach haAty conclusions that have to be reconsidered. For instance, the President as a candidate was in haste to de­ clare that, as it was unfair to govern a people without their congent, and as the Filipinos had not given their consent to our govern­ ment of the. islands, therefore, as if demonstrating a problem in Algebra, the solution of the whole matter must be: "Give the Fili­ pinos their independence and do it soon.” So, in effect, said Mr. Wilson last year. ’• Now that sounds very well, and would appeal to the school man. But to a practical man who knows the conditions in the Philippines such a solution is nothing less than the veriest non­ sense. And President Wilson is now so convinced of the error of his former views, and of the error of his party, that it is authorita­ tively reported that.he has given it out in Washington that no effort will be made during his administration to sever the ties that bind our Malay subjects to this government. . What is the reason for this change in the views of our Presi­ dent? Merely this: He has found that dealing with such a matter as our responsibility to the Filiponos cannot be settled off-hand by scholastic methods. It is a human problem: and statesmanship, patience, and most of all clear knowledge of the situation, are first of all necessary. Dean Worcester, formerly connected with the University of’ Michigan, but for many years a member of the commission for the government of the Philippines, has sent to President Wilson a very lucitl report with reference to conditions in'the islands. According to Dean Worcester this government cannot confer freedom upon the islanders in less than a generation, and possibly.not then. To attempt to do so in even the near future would be equivalent to turning a helpless people into the hand.^ of- a designing few, who would-exploit them fo^their own personal benefit. In other words, Philippine independence within many years is an idle dream: a thing impossible to attain until intelligent men and women shall people those islands. And not until American schools can efficiently train the native children for intelligent service will there be even a prospect fora generation of Filipinos capable of self-government. Dean Worcester's re|xjrt furnishes the most absolute proof that slavery exists among the Moros, the Mohammedans of Mindiano. and some of the other southern islands: that peonage, which is a gross form of slavery, exists even on the island of Luzon, where Manila is situated. This horrible condition cannot bq wiped out .because the native legislative body refuses to deal'with it, and that refusal results from the fact that a large number of the native mem­ bers of the Philippine^ssembly are themselves guilty of this crime against humanity, and enough others arc'under such obligations to Wealthy Tagalogs who hold ignorant natives in a system of invqlpntary servitude, that the legislative Itody refuses to act. So men anil women are enslaved, and even children arc sold for debts, in the Philippines, Recording to Dean Worcester's report. • What a farce it would be to attempt, as the democratic plat­ form demanded, and as President'Wilson pledged himself to do, to give independence to a people who arc totally unfit for self- govern­ ment, and where such independence would mean the practical enslavement of the ignorant, poverty-stricken many by the powerful, , intelligent anil wealthy few. < , We arc glad to note that president Wilson now sees the situa­ tion, and will abandon the impossible anti, under the circumstances, cowardly plan of turning the great body of these defenseless, ignor­ ant islanders over to lhe tenderf?) mercies of those who would practically enslave them. And that is what “the freedom of the Filipinos'* would mean. • When the natives are intelligent. <and know the meaning of | American liberty, such enslavement will be impossible. But that is at least a generation removed from the present day. The only hope the Filipinos have of ever becoming capable of self-government is -for the L’njtcd Stale* to continue to rule them until American schools and contact with mir civilization shriTl develop them to such a degree that they can safely be left to themselves.

Id WHY OUR PRICES ARE LOWEST DON’T THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY! Paying more (or an article at one place than you would have to elsewhere is nothing more nor less than throwing money?away. Especially is this true in those cases in which you pay more for an article at one place than you would need’ to pay for a better article at another. The Rexall Store docs most of'its buying in combination with more than 5,000 other leading retail druggists of the United States. These combined purchases, tremendous in­ deed-representing many tens of millions dollars annually—secure for us the best prices on the best goods in the best markets of the world. Evqry patron of The Rcxall Store gets the .benefit of this buying power on every.article he—or shc-^buys. No drug store other than The Rcxall Store has these buying advantages. > That is why you can almost always get lower prices, quality considered, at The Rexall Store than elsewhere. It you buy’all of your drugs, stationery, toilet goods and other drug store supplies at The Rexall Store, you will, we promise you, save many dollars annually. Carveth 8 Stebbins PhonaSI.

Edmonds Eelevator Encourages Economizing During our management of the Edmonds Elevator we have saved thous­ ands of dollars to the people of Hastings and Barry county in one way and an­ other. We believe there is not a;firm in this section that has offered to its pa­ trons greater opportunities to enonomize and save than we have offered' to ours. •Scarcely a week goes by that we do not have something to say which if followed wijl mean a saving to the one who takes advantage of the offer or the advice. Buy Your Winter Coal Now Evety summer we are making special efforts to get people to save money on their coal by buying from US and BUYING EARLY. The coal we sell has the GREATEST HEAT PRODUCING ENERGIES of any coal that can be bought. It is absolutely free from any foreign substances. When you buy our coal you get your value in weight in coal and when you burn it you get just the ashes left—no clinkers, no ^lag—it burns up clean. We offer you a BIG SAVING if you BUY NOW. So, just on coal alone we save money for you in two ways—on price and on quality—for when you buy from us you get more heat than when you buy some poorer grade of coal. We have car loads of good coal now and are offering it at big savings to our customers. Place your order at once and save the advance in price that must come with later months. A Word About Fertilizers Another saving we have made to the people of Barry county, especially the farmers, is in the matter of land fertilizer. We sell the best fertilizer that can be used and that in itself saves money to the user. Our prices for fertilizer, are reasonable. We have spent dollars in telling the farmers about this fertilizer and how to use it and the saving it means to them. Every farmer and farm owner who had 'purchased and used this fertilizer on his land has greatly increased the value of his property. This is another way in which we preach ‘‘economizing." We keep fertilizer in stock in quantities sufficient to meet any reasonable demand. We Pay Highest Market Prices For Produce.

WATERMAN, Prop HASTINGS, MICHIGAN �THE HASTINGS BANNER UNIFORM MOTOR LAWSJOSSIRLE ■ tanwoim APfoivK- mkmueiim MANY TRAFFIC ANO SPEED LAWS UNFAIR TO MOTORISTS Reasons Why You Should BUY THE CADILLAC That the Cadillac leads in scientific motor car development is strikingly demonstrated. CADILLAC ipi4=New QUALITY OF LUXURY ELEMENT OF EFFICIENCY SOURCE OF ECONOMY From year to year THE CADILLAC has been the first to perfect and introduce to the public com­ fortable, efficient, practical and economical improvements in motor car construction. The public is more or less acquainted with this fact. , THE 1914 CADILLAC is the most efficient and perfect motor car yet constructed. Its long graceful body and perfect delineation in every part makes it beautiful to the eye. Its fine- upholstering, perfectly designed .seats, spacious capacity above long, graceful and responsive springs makes THE CADILLAC luxurious. • These and many other refinements of essential details make for a greater and better CADILLAC than ever and serve to niore firmly establish its position as AMERICA’S LEADING MO 1 OR CAR. CADILLAC Two=Speed Direct Drive Axle v In this new axle the CADILLAC Company once more gives evidence of its leadership ® motor car development and motor car progress. ' In place of single bevel pinion and single beycl driving gear common to ordinary construction, there are two bevel pinions and two bevel driving gears. This«gbrds two dilierent gear ratios, each driving direct from the cn/’•1 gine to the axle without intermediate gearing. No one single gear ratio can possibly be just right for all speeds and all conditions. But by using two direct g?ar ratios we have exactly doubled the means for promoting the economical and efficient application of power de­ ’ -■ veloped by the engine to the driving of the car. The change from one gear ratio to the other is made by means of a simple, convenient electric switch. The advantages of the high direct drive gear ratio lie primarily in the fact that with it, any given speed of the engine produces an increase of about 42 per cent in the speed of the car. This great increase in car speed in its relation to engine speed accomplishes a number of. desirable things. Among these is a decrease in gasoline consumption for a given mileage. • Friction also is materially reduced by reason of the parts operating more slowly, and this, too, is a factor in reducing gasoline consumption when driving on the high gear. Another great advantage is that with this direct drive high gear ratio, there is obtained an extraordinary luxurious smoothness in running, together with a marked quietness and a comparative freedom from the vibration which, tu a greater or less extent, is ever present when travelling at a high speed with a low gear ratio. > -.rif . "' J Either-Side Entrance to Front Seat The new 1914 CADILLAC has added a hinged steering wheel and a hinged front seat cushion permitting easy entrance and exit for front seat passengers at either side of the car.

The route took in (he worst hills that can be found within a few hundred miles of the National Capitol. For the entire four days tbe route wound through the mountains and valleys of Maryland and Pennsylvania, over rough roads and good roads, up and down steep hills. No better course could have been selected for the run, as it covered a variety of road conditions that would test any truck. The value of the Motor Truck is becoming well known. MORE, BETTER and QUICKER service is being rendered by Motor Trucks than can be rendered in any other way. Those who arc letting the International Motor Truck do their truck work have an advantage over all others. Another satisfactory thing about the International Motor Truck is that extra seats can be put on and used for a pleasure car. It's easy riding and can make 20 miles per hour.

The design of the Studebaker motor can be compared in excellence only with one or two of the most famous foreign cars. The sides of the bloc-cast cylinders are clean and the enclosed valves quickly accessible. There are over 225 drop forged parts in the Studebaker and every one of these light, strong forgings is heat tested in our own huge ovens from three to six times. The Studebaker has become known as a glutton for work. It is powerful in that high degree which renders it capable of accomplishing every motoring task you set before it, With a rush which is as easy as it is successful. It will thread in and out of traffic on high gear without laboring, and across country will take the hills with­ out trouble or hesitation. Not the least satisfying feature of tbe Studebaker is its quiet and full response to the throttle. The long resileint springs, cushions any road motion and the deep upholstering adds full comfort to the admitted driving power of the car. The Studebaker Jiffy curtains can be put in place quickly FROM INSIDE THE CAR. The throttle and spark levers are where they belong, above the steering wheel. ‘ Dau’S lake me back to Shelbyville.

The STUDEBAKER has the poise and balance in build—the long smooth resiliant spring—lhe low per cent of engine vibration—the deep upholstered cushion—the commodious room that brings to the rider all the de­ lights that motoring affords. These are but parts of its EFFICIENCY. The STUDEBAKER is a RELIABLE car. No task too hard for it; no road too steep. It is easy to operate, being responsive to the slightest touch—can start slowly and does not give the sudden jerk that many lighter, cheaper cars give when starting. It carries its load gracefully and well. The STUDEBAKER has the required DURABILITY. It is made for use and for service. You do not have to “baby” a STUDEBAKER, just treat it fair. Its parts are all tested and perfected and the Studebakbr Company stands back of their car. The STUDEBAKER is not the highest priced car, neither is it the fewest priced car on the market—BUT IT IS THE CHEAPEST CAR TO BUY. It’s Satisfaction the Motorist Wants The Studebaker Gives Satisfaction The STUDEBAKER combines quality, service and price in a way to give pleasure to every one ol its users.

Your druggist A serious mistake that many people; both married and single, are making and always have made, is that they are not looking ahead. The state­ ment that “sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" was not intended to be taken too literally. Probably never in the history of the world has there been so much money spent for pure amusement and pleasure and -entertainment as is being spent at the present time. Probably never be­ fore in-this country has there been such reckless extravagance indulged in as is being indulged in at the present time. Amusement and pleasure are alright in their place—but like all other things, when carried to excess bring want and regret in the end. Amuse­ ments when educational and not too expensive, help build up a strong, contented and sturdy people. Pleasure when harmless and within one’s means gives rest to tired body and mind and helps make people independ­ • ent and self supporting. A look into the future by those who are inclined to “take no thought of the morrow" will reveal days, months and years of probable inactivity as far as money producing powers are concerned. The average person spends unnecessarily enough from their income yearly which if placed at a fair rate of interest, would insure them an income thru the non-producing years of their life sufficient to afford them many enjoyments that they are unable to partake of during their earning period. The trouble is they are not looking ahead, or if they are, they are pro­ crastinating. We wish to urge you to STOP! Take one good long look ahead! If you are not saving some of your income every week, month or year start doing so at once. Many people die every year, DEPEND­ ENT, simply because they were never looking ahead, and during their producing period their income was all spent from month to month.

But more than anything else it depends upon proper MILL­ ING. That’s where KNOWING HOW comes in. With our unbroken record of more than 39 years of successful manufacture of French’s White Lily Flour,_ we have gained a lot of knowledge that you can't find in books. Every time that you buy a sack of French’s White Lily Flour you ?et the Benefit of that experience—and it all counts in improving the quality, ou have to pay for that EXPERIENCE when you buy other brands of flour. You may not hive to pay for it in dollar* and cent*, but you DO have to pay for it in INFERIOR QUALITY. What kind of flour are you using? I* it the kind that make* baking day a dread, or is it French’s White Lily, .the flour ths best cooks use? Does ft pay you to EXPERIMENT with flours when you can buy French’* White Lily for the same price you have to pay for the inferior kind*? Think it over.

Edmonds Elevator Encourages Economizing During our management of the Edmonds Elevator we have saved thous­ ands of dollars to the people of Hastings and Barry county in one way and an­ other. We believe there is not a firm in this section that has offered to its pa­ . trons greater opportunities to enonomize and save than we have offered to ours. Scarcely a week goes by that we do not have something to say which if followed will mean a saving to the one who takes advantage of the offer or the advice. ■ Buy Your Winter Coal Now Every summer we are making special efforts to get people to save money on their coal by buying from US and BUYING EARLY. The coal we sell has the GREATEST HEAT PRODUCING ENERGIES of any coal that can be bought. It is absolutely free from any foreign substances. When you buy our coal you get your value in weight in coal and when you burn it you get just the ashes left—no clinkers, no slag—it bums up clean. We offer you a BIG SAVING if you BUY NOW. So, just on coal alone we save money for you in two ways—on price and on quality—for when you buy from us you get more heat than when you buy some poorer grade- ot coal. We have car loads of good coal now and are offering it at big savings to our customers. Place your order at once and save the advance in price that must come with later months. A Word About Fertilizers Another saving we have made to the people of-- Barry county, especially the farmers, is in the matter of land fertilizer. We sell the best fertilizer that can be used and that in itself saves money to the user. Our prices for fertilizer are reasonable. We have spent dollars in telling the farmers about this fertilizer and how to use it and the saving it means to them. Every farmer and farm owner who has purchased and used this fertilizer on his land has greatly increased the value of his property. This is another way in which we preach "economizing.” We keep fertilizer in stock in quantities sufficient to meet any reasonable demand. We Pay Highest Market Prices For Produce.

WHY We.au usually do better by those having grain and produce to sell, and why we can give a customer a little better deal on wbat he buy* at an elevator, nn be easily learned. For we buy and sell for FIVE eleva­ tors and buying and selling in so large a volume, we cm get a little advantage which we in turn pass on ango i>ortugalll because they had thia fruit lint from Portugal.

One of them will take your wheat and convert 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 IO3RER QUALITY 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. 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 delight to eat. Do you wonder thaf-wt like to have the house* wives try this experiment:—Make a batch of bread froo) French’s White Lily Flour, and from any other flour vou 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.

Five Solid Reasons IVE solid reasons why each farm needs a manure spreader are these, in the words of a fanner who has devoted much time to correct soil­ feeding. 1. It saves disagreeable and hard work. X It pulverizes and mixes tho manure mass. 3. It distributes manure evenly over the field, insuring a good, even stand of grain. 4._ It prevents loss of nitrogen through fermentation or leaching in the pile when manure is hauled directly from the stable. 5. Indirectly, the ease with which it can be handled encourages the owner to care'for the manure and distribute it on the fields caroiully instead of wasting it. f tMohl, Increase during th. past half decade In production of - per cent, agalnat a population Increase of 3 per cent, x The people of thta Nation should address themselves to the supject of improved fsciUtles for distribution. in th? Germ-alt markets the farmera receive from 2k to 40 per cent more for many of their products, and the consumer pays Ims than In I markets where American methods prevail.

You will find them all styles and sizesj high and low, endless apron IHC manure spreaders are exceedingly durable, strong, correctly built to stand all con­ ditions and all strains they may meet. Eith feature has its purpose. Up hill or down or cutting corners, they spread all kinds of manure evenly, io a light or heavy coat at the will of the driver. The beater drive is strong and simple, beater teeth are square and chisel pointed to pulverize the manure, and the largo diameter of tho beater prevents wind­ ing. The rear axle, carrying a large percent­ age of the load, insures ample tractive power. Bat see all these things yourself at your local dealer's. Find your choice in the I H C line.

The route took in the worst hills that can be found within a few hundred miles of the National Capitol. For the entire four days the route wound through the mountains and valleys of Maryland and Pennsylvania, over rough roads and good roads, up and down steep hills. No better course could have been selected for the run, as it covered a variety of road conditions that would test any truck. The value of the Motor Truck is becoming well known. -MORE, BETTER AND QUICKER Service is being rendered by.Msttr Trucks than can be rendered in any other way. Those who arc letting the International Motor Truck do their truck work have an advantage over all others. Another satisfactory thing about the International Motor Truck is that extra scats can be put on and used for a pleasure car.

Don’t you think it would be a good idea to buy a First Class Favorite Base Bur­ ner, with Triple Exposed Flues, and save enough on your coal bills this winter to buy a new dress in the spring? It is a positive fact —the Favorite does bum less coal and throws out more heat than any other base burner made. J had a poet on our side and a milllonalrv on the Other." "What did you talk about?"

Frank Overamlth'i E. Court St. Yards Phone 254 Ever since last Fall when wc began a <lctcrn\incd fight against all forms of "Fake Ads.” “Puzzle Schemes,” “Special Sales.” “Was—Now” and many other tricks to snare the public into buying Pianos, these Jack-in-the-box schemes have gradually MISCELLANEOUS gone down under the heavy bombarding of Truth in the Friedrich ads until it seemed that Grand Rapids had grown to be one of the few cities in the country that had rid itself of this per­ nicious practice where the innocent public alw.ays loses. • . ' Comes there now a new form of the Fake piano Ad anti while thedisguise is' DAUllAISgood, we recognize it al once th** hill and practicing an old habit of ours in treating Fake Ads, wc "Turn on the light" and expose it. Read the "ads" shown ip this advertisement ; every one of them is a sample of an absolute fake with the intention of preying upon an innqccnt and unsuspecting public. Like the sccond-story man who creeps in upon his defenseless prey, these “ads,” innocent in appearance and placet! among honest "ads" in the For Sale columns defy detection even by the newspaper that prints them. Read them over again. Could you detect the false from the true? Could you tell that these arc new Pianos that have been "Planted." just to fool you? Well, they were I There is a way to detect the fraud and very simple. Listen: If you answer one of these "ads.” inquire in the neighborhood if pianos have been seen moving in and out of the address given. Find out how long the party has lived there. Look inside of the piano for wear on the ham­ mers and then ask to sec the receipt arid note the date it was purchased. Perhaps the receipt will be lost (?) Wc expose this scheme in the interest of clean adver­ tising and honest methods in the Piano business and not for the purpose df advertising our own house. ’ There are many honest "ads" of Pianos in the classified columns that read like the fake ads shown here, but those who insert the honest "ads" will welcome any form of in­ vestigation before they take your money. • FOREWARNED IS A GOOD WORD.

FIRST: Because of the hundreds of smart conceits that exploit the very latest from Paris, gathered especially to build up a reputation for showing the world's most exclusive millinery for woman and children. A particularly striking and effective hat from Madam La Brotte will give you a correct idea of what Paris women are wearing today. A rich and charming hat in black velvet that sets on the head in a captivating way is another authentic ex­ pression of smart millinery—medium size with handsome soft tarn crown—the style beauty being enhanced by one of the new lace fancies. The Second and equally important feature of this exhibit is the price consideration. 'Every one of our 250 hats is priced for our opening exhibit and sale at almosf half price and that is not a bit exaggerated. - * This means that you can purchase for $2.50 or $2.75 a hat worth $5 retail, and so on up in proportion. • beautiful $10.00 flats for $5.00 to $6.00 Jhe Most Exclusive flats. $20.00 Models, at $10.75 Now these prices would be remarkable at the end of a season, or after a stock had been pretty well picked over, but now at this time with the fall season just opening and the stock comprising as fine and complete a display as you will find in Grand Rapids or Detroit, you will admit the opportunity is phenomenal. We can only advise you to protect your own interest by visiting our store at your earliest convenience. Special Style Exhibit this week of the latest models in Coats.

MICIOO.H The greatest improvement we ever made was 2 years ago when we “dumped out’’ all of our old ma­ chinery and put in a brand new equipment of every­ thing that is latest and best. To be sure, it cost us thousands of dollars to make these improvements, but as a RESTLT of them we are now making the BEST flour that is possible to be made. * The improvement in the QUALITY of French’s* White Lily has been so marked that a great many of our patrons have spoken to us about it. But what speaks “louder than words” is the fact that the DEMAND for French’s White Lily Flour is GREATER TODAY THAN IT ever was Before. If you haven’t used French’s White ply within the last year 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. The miller who has 20 YEAR OLD MA­ CHINERY in his 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. Why not try a sack of French’s White Lily Flour with your next order? Middleville Roller Mills Middleville, - Our new equipment CLEANS THE WHEAT BETTER and more thoroughly. Our wheat goes through 17 Sets of Rolls, while .the ordinary flour passes through 6 or ,8 sets. Each one of our 17 sets of rolls, roll the flour down finer and finer until at last every particle comes out in a perfectly even granulated form. This flour absorbs yeast and water evenly, and as a result your bread, cakes and pastries are baked the same all the way through. �BANNER Hour = The Place 2 P. M.

EXPERIENCE THE PINAL PROOF. ; What the Witoon-Umlcrwootl bill may mean to the farmers j? ni this country was well illustrated in New York recently when a ’’ hig ship load of dressed beef from Argentine Republic was sold to the butchers of that city for a net of 1|J4 cents a |x»tind. Generally K. speaking the dressed Iwef is supposed to commond better than twice J 4 the price of the live weight cattle from* which it is made. The price, Mr therefore, at which this Argentine meat sold would indicate- a 5 I cent price, (or the live fat steer that made the beef. 4 jt is already certain th.it mutton, at much lower prices than J. prevail here, can be purchased by the ship-load from Australia, anil. I with the completion of the Panama canal, can readily reach the Alfi lantic as well as the Pacific markets. Ibis rtnmtry. flp .The experience of the farmers and business interests of this ■P country under the Wilson-L'ndcrwcxxl bill will be the final proof of whether the free tradey* the protectionist is wrong. PITIABLE PLIGHT OP BULGARIA. "V** notable example in modern times of a nation over­ reaching itself is that of Bulgaria. At the end of the first Balkan war, there were nothing but praises for this plucky country, and its splendid and successful strateg)' in the war of the allies against lhe Turks. This universal comotcndatiQn seems to have tuqicd the heads of the Bulgarian statesmen, for ti|xm the conclusion of the succtnwful war with Turkey, Bulgaria began a war upon her former allies, Greece and Scrvia. They did not appreciate the folly of this move until they attempted to borrow money to carry on that second war. They were turned down. Then her <|ispiritc<l troops were thoroughly whipiwd by the Greeks and Servians. 'The ancient enemy of Bulgaria.. Roumania, thought this a good time to pen «.hl scores, and so secured a good slice of Bulgarian territory, l^st-of all Turkey raided the country the Bulgarians had seized S from her. and gow has Adrianople, whose capture last spring won the Bulgarians such renown. Xow with a staggering load of debt, anti robbed of nearly all the territory she conquered from Turkey. Bulgaria to in a pitiable plight tndeetl. And it all.gues to show the wisdom, to a nation as well as an individual, of not losing one's head. - NOHTHEANT CANTLETOX. Mr. and Mra. HMrl.-r Hayman and Hr*.

The merits of PURITY FLOUR are known and recognized all over Barry County. Farmers are coming here from miles around and from all parts of the county to exchange their good wheat for PURITY FLOUR. Many of them acknowledge their indebtedness to the Hast­ ings Milling Co., for first giving them 40 lbs. of flour in exchange for a bushel of good wheat, and all of them admit that it saves the farmers of this county THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR. I’hcsc farmers had nothing hut PURITY FLOUR last year and year before. They have taken away thousands of pounds of il this yeAr. They all speak of it in highest terms. That is the best evidence that they like it. Why not bring your wheat in and exchange it for Purity?

Misleading Piano “Ads” The Scheme-Exposed Ever since last Tall when wc began a determined figlitagainst all ^ornis Joi ‘’Fake Ads,” “Puzzle Schemes,” "Special Sales,1' 'nVas—Now" and many other tricks to' snare the public into buying'Pianos, these Jack-in-the-box schemes have gradually gone down under the heavy bombarding of Truth in the Friedrich ads until it seemed that Grand* Rapids had grown to be one the few cities in the country’ that had rid itself of this per­ nicious practice where the innocent public always loses. Comes there now a“new form of- the Fake Piano Ad . anti , while the disguise its DAH<;AIN-Spl«»u.l »*i» ptaao lor lew goo<f, wc recognize it at once u tha* hall. I'arty ramprlkd to mon out ol city tor buaincaa reasoaa. Addict*— and practicing an old habit odours in treating Fake Ads, wc "Turn on the light" and expose it. Read the "ads" shown in this advertisement; every one dfHh'cni is a sample of an absolute fake with the intention of preying upon an innocent and unsuspecting public. Like the second-story man who creeps in upon his defenseless prey, these-“ads," ignoccnt in appearance and placed among honest "ads" in the FoY Sale columns defy detection even by the newspaper that prints them. Read them over again. Could you detect the false from tiie true? Could you tell that the.* are new Pianos that have been "Planted," just to fbol you? Well, they were! There is a way to detect the fraud and very simple. Listen: If you answer one of these “ads," inquire'in the neighborhood if pianos have been seen moving in and out of the address given.' Find out how long the party has lived there. Look insulc of the piano for wear on the ham­ mers and then ask to scc'tlic receipt and note the date it was purchased.’ Perhaps the receipt will be lost (?) Wc expose this scjicmc in the interest of clean adver­ tising and honest methods in the Piano business anti not for the purpose of advertising our own house. There areinany honest "ads” of Pianos in the classified ; columns tjjat read like the fake ads shown here, but ’ ’ who insert the honest "ads" will welcome any form; vestigation before they take your money.

We thought we could SOI gel It. but four out of seven pupils N the gpresderless farm the thought of the great heaps of manure piling / up constantly in bam yards, stables, a9d6^ls» is n gloomy one. Those m-J" - piles meah much disagreeable and bard work. It must all be loaded on high wagons. It must be raked off in piles in the fields. Then every forkful must be' shaken apart and spread. Compare that old-fashioned method with the I H C spreader wav. You pitch the manure into the spreader box, only waist high, drive out and—the machine docs all tho rest. And it spreads evenly and far less wastcfuliy. I H C Manure Spreaders are farm necessities. The man who uses one will Set the price of it back in increased crops before its newness has worn off. Every detail and feature counts. They do best work always and stand every strain for years. They arc made in all styles and sizes, for small farms and large. low and high ma­ chines, frames of braced and trussed steel. Uphill or down, or on the level, the apron xdnve assures even spreading, and the covering of corners is assured by rear axle differentials. In all styles the rear axis is placed so that it carries near three-fourths of the load. This, Sith the wide-rimmed wheels with Z-sha|>ed «ts, makes for plenty of tractive power.

POTATOES The making of flour differs from the making of 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 be­ cause of its looks. The one chief consideration of flour is QUALITY—will the flour always make good bread; is it ALWAYS THE SAME, und CAN YOU DEPEND UPON IT? Now there’s a big difference in the quality of shoes, clothing, 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, some' manufac­ turer may have gotten onto some methods or knacks that he can make a better product than his com­ petitors and not have to charges greater price. Now let us stop and think of the extremely favorable conditions 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 ma­ chinery that money can buy. 2d—It is made in a mill that runs night and day, year in and year out—insuring^ven 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 by 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 LOW­ ERING THE QUALITY of the floor. 4th—In our 39 years of manufacture of flour we have gotten onto manyr KNACKS that enable ui to make the BEST FLOUR in tha country for tho money. When you buy flour, you don’t buy it for sentimental reaaona, or became it ia in a pretty aack or haa a pretty name. YOU BUY IT FOR QUALITY And that’, why wooer or Uter,, you are going to It’! the BEST buy French’! While Lily Fouir. lor the money, and better right now than ithaicver been before.

It does not seem possible that any man ’who lias denounced the republican party as has Mr. Roosevelt tould consistently geek a nomination from that party I'or that reason too it seems just as improbable that it would be given hiqi if he sfiould seek it. The former President is generally credited with being a very shrewd politician. Therefore he must ralize that the progressive element in the democratic jiarty, who arc quite well pleased with President Wilson, would not desert him. While the republican conservatives, as between-two progressives like Wilson and Roosevelt, would quite certainly support Wilson, be-. • cause of their intense dislike of the “strenuous one.” Wc hardly look for Mr. Roosevelt to seek or the republican party to give him the . nomination. * Ing. returned home Saturday.

Comes there now a new form of the Fake Piano Ad and while the disguise is good, wc recognize it at once and practicing an old habit of ours in treating Fake Ads, we “Turn on the light” and expose it. Read the "ads” shown in this advertisement; every one - of Hi cm is a sample of an absolute fake with the intention of praying upon an innocent and unsuspecting public. Like the second-story man who creeps in upon his defenseless prey, these “ads,” innocent in appearance and placed among honest “ads” in the For Sale columns defy detection even by the newspaper that prints them. Read them over again. Could you detect the false from the true? Could you tell that these are new Pianos that have been “Planted,” just to fool you? Well, they were! . There is a way to.detect the fraud and very simple. Listen: If you answer one of these “ads," inquire in the neighborhood if pianos have been seen moving in and out of the address given. Find out how long the party has lived there. Look inside of the piano for wear on the ham­ mers and then ask to'sec the receipt and note the date it was purchased. Perhaps the receipt will be lost (?) We expose this scheme in the interest of clean adver. tising and honest methods in the Piano business and not for the purpose of advertising otir own house. There are many honest "ads” of Pianos in the classified coltrtnns that read like the fake ads shown here, but those who ipsert the honest “ads” will welcome any form of in­ vestigation before they take your money. ■a forewarned is a good word.

While the men are debating now 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 purchasing power of the family income when applied to the things for the home. The steady running of this mill, night and day, year in and year Out, by the steadiest of all power, water power; the complete new equipment of up-to-the minute milling machinery which we have; our 39 years of milling experience in THIS ONE MILL in the production of flours. All these have enabled us to produce 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.

The Inter-State ’ ' Commerce Commission also made a' thorough investigation, and from that rc|>ort the engineer has plenty of company in the censure given. The report declares the collision due to “man-failure,” and that this man-failurt began high up in official authority; that disci­ pline was weak and'ineffective; that rules were insufficient, a fault of the higher officials: that rules were inadequately enforced; and • that while all these things were true, high speed was demanded, and that without a* proper signaling system fi raijroad against whose officials such an indictment can be made, is hardly in position to put much of a dcfen«agaiqst damage suits.

Surely the importers will have .no good reason to com|dain of the greatly reduced duties.; purely the foreign manu­ facturers, so long denied access to our markets, will be hapjiy over the greatly reduced duties, and their governments must be surprised as well as delighted-to have our bars down and no demand made for better markets abroad for our products. But the question is: Will the ultimate consumer be the gainer, and' will the country prosper under an admittedly tariff-for-revenue bill? We do not believe it can prosper as it has. Lui wc may be mistaken. Time and that alone can tell whether it was wise or otherwise to open our markets as wc have,to foreigners on such advantageous terms to them.

The ability of the bank to properly and promptly handle all your business. . t To those wishing desirable banking relations, we offer our services as an old established, permanent, conservative and ac­ commodating bank, promising - courteous treatment and careful attention to all business entrusted to our, care.

You sec he owns his store, so don't have to pay rent. Then he don’t canvas and drum you fellows on the back all the time and try to sell you some­ thing you don’t need. Then again he does his own work, sweeps his store, makes his own fires, and sets up all of his goods himself, and of course by doing all this he can and is sav­ ing’you a lot of money, but we won't stand for it. So as wc have said we have gone back on ouirword and have placed the goods with men that will ask you more money for them and get it too. Well, well, well anil wouldn’t that take away your breath, but Jesse Town­ send still survives the shock and is'still.sweeping his own store, building his own fire, and selling at the same low prices. s.i. .lu, . ... was discovered about die time the Pilgrims landed upon our * NEED shores and a casual census right here in our town will prove that the big'majority of the homes are still built of wood. The reasons for this are many, and what were good reasons in the days of our ancestors are doubly good today because lumber has been improved. The stock we handle today can be put into a house with a saving of from 15% to 25% over the lumber we* sold years ago. It comes nicely dressed, uniform in size and quality, and ready to be nailed right on. Saves hand labor for the carpenter, Which is money for the builder. We’re extremely careful, too. about the seasoning of our stock and when our quality is considered we are sure you'll say we offer more for your money than you chn get elsewhere. Let us prove it.

Mr. Miller, ot Johnstown Is quite sick at the home of hla daughter here. Buying coal is an art by itself. To the in-ex' perienced, a pile of coal looks much like another pile of coal. Then, too, some piles of coal all look alike, and only the experienced buyer knows that one pile is GOOD coal and the other poor. A man buys two loads of coal, one from one yard and the other load from another yard. They both look alike and both cost the same; but one has 25% greater heating qualities than the other—that is because the dealer knows GOOD COAL. Mra.

Ever since last Fall when we began/a determined fight against all forms of "Fake Ads,” “Puzzle Schemes,” "Special, Sales.” "Was—Now" and many other tricks to snare the public into buying Pianos, these Jack-in-the-box schemes have gradually gone down under the he bombarding of Truth in the Friedrich ads until it seemed that Grand Rapids had grown to be one of the few cities in the country that had rid'St^clf j of this per­ nicious pratlicc where the innocent public always loses. Comes there now a new form of the Fake Piano Ad and while the disguise is good, we recognize it at once CLOSE OUT THEIR SHOE STOCK were Rev. and Mrs. Stone of Wood­ bury. Mrs. Vangie Millet and daugh- tlkln* of Quimby Tueaday. The Scheme Exposed Mr and Mr*. Emmett Falghner were at Hastings Monday of ours in treating Fake Ads, we “Turn on the light” and expose it. Read the "ads” shown in this advertisement; every one of them is a sample of an absolute fake with the intention of preying upon an innocent and unsuspecting public. Like the second-story man who creeps in upon his defenseless prey, these “ads," innocent in appearance and placed among honest “ads" in the For Sale columns defy detection even by the newspaper that prints them. Read them over again. Could you detect the false from the true? Could you tell that these arc new Pianos tliat have been “Planted,” just to fool you? Well, they were! There is a way to detect the fraud and very simple. Listen: If you answer one of these "ads,” inquire in the neighborhood if pianos have been seen moving in and out of the address given.. Find out how long th<f party has lived there. Look inside of the piand for wear on the ham­ mers and then ask to sqe the receipt and note the date it was purchased. Perhaps the receipt will be lost (?) Wc expose this scheme in the interest of clean adver­ tising and honest methods in the Piano business and not for the purpose of advertising otir own house. . There arc many honcit “ads’* of. Pianos in the classified columns that read like the fake ads shown here, but those .who insert the honest “ads” will welcome any form of in­ vestigation before they take your money.

This is a very re­ markable example of motor car operation and is a fair example of the econ­ omy of THE BUICK. The Buick overhead valve motor ia guaran­ teed to develop more power and to give more mileage per gallon of gasoline than any other motor of its aizeK either American or foreign make. **• The run was made to South Bend, Ind. and vicinity via. St. Joe on an average consumption of 1 gallon of gasoline to each 24 miles. ANNOUNCEMENT We believed lie present to be the psychological time for the introduction of a MODERATE PRICED, HIGH GRADE motor car to the people of Hastings and vicinity. We have accordingly taken the agency for THE BUICK MOTOR CAR, the most powerful and efficient medium priced car manufactured/m American or foreign fields. That we wfere correct in our estimates is proven by the most gratifying success .with which we have been favored. Not only have we sold several cars at this early date, but many mbtor enthusiasts have expressed’their deep interest in the BUICK, The car we have to sell needs no Apology! It is a car, back of which stands not only our reputation, but that of one of the greatest and, most responsible . automobile manufacturing firms of the world, the Buick Motor Company of Flint, Michigan. We are.here on the ground with the newest thing in motor car construction. We are responsible/ having been here for a number of years and established our responsibility. What we tell you, you may depend upon. We back every car we hope to sell with our personal guarantee. You can’t go wrong if you buy a BUICK. We will give yod below a few facts concerning this splendid car. / The Buick Creed. The Reason Why of Buick's Greater Speed and Power The nmtjtor is the most intricate and expensive single factor in the: construction of an automobile, representing in. round of the cost of the finished product.

Grosbcck, o( Detroit, has announced himself as a can­ didate for the nomination for the governorship by the republicans of Michigan. Mr. Grosbcck's qualifications for the governorship may be all that his closest friends believe, but his selection as a can­ didate would be nothing short of monumental folly if the republicans <4 this state have cither hope or desire to carry Michigan! Mr. tiroabcck » part in the famous convention at bay City so angered those who did not wish Mr. Taft renominated that they would like . ■ nothing letter than a chance toeven up scores with him in the cam­ paign next year. We arc not pretending the pass upon the justice or injustice of Mr. Grosbeck'b actions in that Bay City convention of unsavory memory. We do not know the merits of the matter as they apply to - his part jn the unhappy |>crfurinanccs of that convention. But we do know that his nomination would be considered as an affront by . the then members of the party who did not wish to see Mr. Taft chosen. The republican |>arty can only hope to win in this state by having harmony within its ranks. To select a man whose nominati6n would lie the signal for digging up buried tomahawks would ?•••• teem to be about as wise as to attempt to pacify an angry bull by E waving a rc4 rag in front of him. It is not necessary for the repub­ lican party to name as a candidate for the governorship a man whose ^election would revives rtrifc that ought to be buried. There must | surely hr other republicans available for the governorship whose r.omination would not be considered as an effront to those who were . indignant over what the Bay City convention did. , tk-bool Report. .

We've spent a lot of money trying to keep the piano business upon the clean plane where it belongs and the best music trade papers of the country are loud in their praise of the honest methods used by “Friedrich of Grand Rapids." BING I I Comes there now more Splash Adver­ tising, again trying to belittle the honored name of pianos we handle, with the vain hope of attracting attention to places where it seems that pianos can be bought for “packing box” prices.

They Somebody is going to get caught on that bait; not you who read this, but your friends and neighbors and you can save their money by this little piece of advice:. “TALK TO FRIEDRICH." Nobody sells good pianos at a lower price than we. You can see them here any time you call. Besides—While we have in stock second-hand pianos that are handled by the very bouses who practice the “Sale (?)” scheme, we do not advertise them out of courtesy to Grand Rapids dealers. We have no sales, schemes, tricks, snares or any other inducement to invite you into our stores, except honorable business methods and a forty-year repu­ tation as a guarantee that you will get a square deal. WE KNOW THE OLD TRICKS, but it is im­ possible to stand on the highways and byways shouting out warnings and consequently we havs to depend upon the intelligent buyer who will investi­ gate aril sale schemes and then come to us and per­ mit us to tell him the Truth about Pianos. We never criticise an honest dealer or his goods. We believe in honest competition, but we're after those who strike in the dark and call upon you as a good, dean citizen to back our fight for clean piano business in this dty. No matter what kind of a deal is offered you or your friends on Pianos— TALK IT OVER WITH FRIEDRICH. ' Friedrich Music House, TWO STORES ' 206 Monroe Ave. 3 N.

' asked in this nation’s history except when our country was at war. -Mauries Anson to Frank A. dunnatt • After charging the republicans with all kinds of extravagance ISIT?#*' MC" Pr“lrt®*u,t’ because the appropriations madefy congress for the support of the government had under. McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, exceeded the t $1,000,000,000 mark, and after making vociferous claims as to the economies they would effect, it is anything but pleasant for the I democratic majority in congress and the democratic administration to be confronted with the prospect of appropriations far beyond those made during preceding administrations. • And what is peculiarly embarassing to the democrats is the illconsidered action taken by the democratic majority in-congress, which refused to make an appropriation for a promising effort to cut down government expenses which effort was made by President Taft. 1 . President Taft had noticed! with much concern, the growing ex­ penses of the government, and the tendency for their continued in­ crease. In a message to congress he called attention to this matter, and suggested tint congress do what a board of directors of a busi­ ness corporation would do under like circumstances—employ expert cost men to investigate government expenditures in various' depart­ ments. and see if the inaugurating of. up-to-date business methods would not greatly reduce the cost of government by cutting otJt the . red tape, and abandoning expensive, antiquated business methods which had been discarded in all the up-to-date business concerns years ago. In urging this matter in the U. S. senate at that time Senator Aldrich, whom all will admit to be qualified to speak on that Subject, made the statement that if the business of. the United States, were conducted with the same care and efficiency that rule . In the big business corporations of this nation, the government could easily save $300,000,000 yearly in its expenditures. AH who know the red-tape practices and the loose and antiquated methods in vogue in the official activities, of our government believe Senator Aldrich was entirely within bounds in making the statement he did. .. As a result of President-Tallis urging, an appropriation was made by the republican congress fbr an economy commission, to be composed of experts, who would devise efficient methods of con­ ducting the business of this country. These experts were employed, • were making a thorough study of the present very expensive and in­ efficient methods of doing Ugric Sam’s business. In some of the • smaller activities of the government this commission hail already completed their work and had tried out new methods with results that were most gratifying, andsuch largc«cconomies were effected is gave promise of a great saving in all government expenditures* They also had plans under way for other and larger departments Which it was confidently believed would save well toward the amount aimed by Senator Aldrich; and that too without crippling tbe service in any department ofthe government. For what reason it would be difficult to guess, certainly for no sufficient reason, the democrats in congress refused an .appropriation for Mr. Taft to continue this commission, so its work had to be abandoned, because of this democratic action. The result of such folly is shown in the increased appropriations asked uf congress by the heads of departments in President Wilson’s cabinets. The vari­ ous secretaries arc said to have pruned their askirigs to the lowest limits before "handing them in, and the total reaches the $1,250,000,• 000 mark, and the reduced duties in President Wilson’s tariff bill will not help to make up the deficit. No wonder the President and his advisors arc worried. WAIL TRAP CORKERS. Andrus. Sam Gutche** and family moved test week on their farm In Castleton. ---- ...... nin n.

GRANGE PAPER SAYS NEW TARIFF BILL DISCRIMIN­ ATES UNFAIRLY AGAINST THE FARMERS OF THE UNITED STATES The Grange Forum pays its respects . to the new tariff bill in language that is not al all uncertain, and speaks of it as discriminating seriously against • farmers and the farmipg interests of the United ' States. The Forum says: . The Underwood bill discriminates very unjustly against the ' fanner. The farmers seem to have been picked by the fanners of the bill as the particular "goat." While this bill was pending the Leg­ islative Committee of the National Grange and representatives of ' various organizations of agriculturists protested strongly against the placing of the products of the farm on the free list and retaining the tariff on practically even-thing that the farmer has to buy, as a very unfair discrimination against the farmer. This bill puts the farmer in practically, the same shape he would have been had President Taft’s reciprocity treaty been confirmed, except that it puts the American farmer in competition with the peasant labor and the OMr.aM i for on* are k or disordered kidney*, ■hating* evidence to prove Hinson, 114 N.

Pike & Damon Jewelers and Opticians .Third Door East of Post Office get about 60 per-cent. of what the consumers pay for what the farm• ers raise. There can be no <|i|estion but what this bill will materially affect the Michigan farmer. To illustrate:—one of Michigan's . principal cash cro]ie> is |x>tatoes and the tariff of twenty-live cents a bushel has been removed. In the year 191a. notwithstanding the duty above mentioned, there was imported into the United States from the British Isles alone potatoes valued at $6,000,000.00. The extremely heavy importation of potatoes from England, Scotland and Ireland is accounted for by the fact that they arc used as ballast, the freight from London to New York being about ten cents per bushel. The cost df shipping potatoes from Michigan to "New York is Seventeen cents |>cr bushel, it is evident, therefore, that with no.tariff on polatorii they would net the foreign grower seven cents a bushel more than they would the Michigan grower, anil he can and will control the New York market and the market of all seaboard towns. The Canadian grower will compete with -the Michigan farmer in all liordcr towns aud all towns on the Great . Lakes. .• . Fresh btef, veal, miittiai, lamb and |>ork have been placed on the free list, and the United States Department of Agriculture lias already sent expert* to South America to inquire intoUbc sanitary conditions of the slaughter houses ^f those countries, anticipating - large importations of fresh meat. Grazing is cheap in South Ameri­ can countries and the American packer will transfer his base of u|»crations to a country where he can buy his animals cheaper. The vast prairies of the Canadian Northwest arc put on an equal foot­ ing with the agricultural lands of this epuntry. While the large packers will buy cheaper and the farmer suffer thereby, it is doubt­ ful whether they will sell cheaper and thereby trailer the bcnetit of the Igwer prices to the consumer. Wool has been placed on the free list, thereby putting wool growers of America on the- same footing as the wool growers of I Xustralia, where grazing lands, arc cheap. tion and a rank injustice and it w>>pld seem that anyone else ought to be able to sec it in that light. The cry of the American people for a lower cost of living should not blind them to the in­ terests of the agriculturist. ' CHRISTMAS BARGAINS No. i The Press one year............................

HE greatest “TIME and LABOR SAVER" that any farmer can install on his farm is a good GASOLINE ENGINE. In these days of scarcity of help, T and high price of labor, a gasoline engine will soon pay for itself by doing the work of several men and doing the work BETTER, within the last few years we have sold a great many gasoline engines, and you will find one or more of them on a good many farms in this county. They rob farm work of most of its "drudg­ ery" in the pumping of water, sawing wdod, grinding feed, churning, and a hun­ dred and one different things. . We have taken especial pains in securing the agency for the very best makse, and offer you a wide range of selections in OLDS GASOLINE ENGINES, M. W. A.

Dairy butter, on account o( the size of the package and amount manufactured, must reljT almost entirely on local trade for market, while the creamery is in a position to ship everywhere and in a variety of packages to suit all trade. Sell us your milk and cream. Our prices are always in line with lhe great butter mar­ kets and you will make money by selling to us each and every month in the year. Remember that we weigh accurately, test correctly and pay cash for every can of cream received. It takes consider­ able cash to do this, but we believe it the best method, saves errors and misunderstandings of all kinds. Our market is never overloaded as the tlairy butter mar­ ket often is, but wb are always anxious to buy your cream at the top price. Our price is always as high as a creamery can pay and do an honest business. Our firm is not here to work anv get rich quick schemes. We have made our homes here and want your confidence and patronage. Understanding the business as we do. we believe it to every farmer’s interest'to milk cows, and for those who have milk and cream to sell, we offer the best possible market. Begin selling to us at once and the longer you are with u* the better you will like our marx-t.

There are TWO ways of cutting down the COST L] of manufacturing an article. 1 ’ 1st—By using CHEAPER materials, instead of those that GOST MORE MONEY. 2nd—The other way is to LOWER the COST of manufacture by putting in the best and most modern 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 tho “QUALITY” of its goods. We will never do this. 'In the manufacture of flour we adopted the 2nd plan/ We have overlooked nothing that would enable us to CUT DOWN THE COST in any one of the departments of makiAg flour. Owing to the many improvements in. flour making < ■ । | machinery within the past few years, we found that we could LOWER THE COST of mak­ ing 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. It cost us a good many thousands of dollars to make the change and practically 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 possi­ bly do. The result is that we have CUT DOWN the COST of making the BEST • QUALITY of flour to the lowest possible notch. Every sack of French’s White Lily means BET­ TER VALUE for your money.

One of the saddest things which history will ever record is the .Balkan war which recently followed the successful struggle of the combined Greeks, Serbs and Bufgars to drive the unspeakable Turk . out of Europe. In that struggle.the allies had the symjiatliy of the , . civilized world. But after their victorious efforts to destroy the power of the Sultan in the Baikal)-states which he had dominated for six centuries, Greece Bulgaria and Servia could not agree on the division of the territory they had jointly conquered from the Turks. Then began a war in which Servians, Greeks and Roumanians were on one side and Bulgaria on the other; a war whose atrocities have not been matched since the middle ages. These supposedly Chris­ tian peoples—for they all arc members of the Greek church—fell upon each other and all of them were guilty of such inhumanity as would make savages blush even at their mention. A commission composed of disinterested men selected from the United States, England ’ and Germany have recently completed a thorough investigation of the alleged atrocities committed by Bul­ gars, Greeks and Serbs in their warfare with each other, atrocities such as the ruthless mtfrder of women and children, the murder of .wounded mtn on battle fields, all committed by soldiers wearing the uniforms of these three nations. This commission will soon deliver its formal report. It would be manifestly unpro|>cr for its Quit Claim Deeds. members to go into details, but one of them has declared that the outrages committed by the Balkan soldiety were unspeakably inhu­ man, and Unbelievably atrocious.

The fire proof safety deposit vaults were given especial attention and much favorable comment was made upon the great advantage they will be to the patrons of the institution, enabling them to keep all valuable papers and documents in abso­ lute safety. All in all, the opening reception given by the Hastings Gty Bank last week Thursday was the biggest success in the social-commercial activities ever staged in Barry county. ' The Officers, Directors and Clerks appreciate the many expressions of regard that have been extended, and they wish for the long and continued prosperity of the people who have aided in making this bank the broad, reliable, financial structure that it is to-day.

Santa Claus is the visible, the tangible expression of that spirit of love without which there would be but lit­ tle to live for here and still less to hope for in that some­ what unexplored future. Rob no man of an honest hope, neither take from a child that which cannot harm but docs materially add to the sum total of his happi­ ness.

' A caller that will rc'ach yon no matter where you roam, That’s your good old annual visitor—the Christmas box from home! His brow is almoft dripping and his cheeks are fiery red. "By jinks, it must be books, sir! It has the weight of lead!” And you look the address over and you find it's here at last. With half a dozen labels and a rope to hold it fast; And it brings the breath of country to the busy, throb­ bing town, With its crowning wreath of holly and its walnuts rich and brown. And its little jars of honey all dripping in the comb— A storehouse full of good things is .the Christmas box from home! • Oh. travel-stained ami homely is the country Christmas Ikjx. WHEN DADDY LIGHTS THE TREE. As it’s pushed from post to corner by the rude express­ man’s knocks: But there's something sort of homelike in the little things it holds— The •golden-yellow heart cakes baked in good old-fash­ ioned molds, The jars of quince and apple—and von set them on the shelf, And a little note comes fluttering, herself. Jenny sends the citron: and wear these mittens, do. For granny sat up late at night to knit them just for you!” Uy jinks! it sort of gets you, that box of little things. We have our share of-ups and downs Our cares like other folk; The pocketbook is sometimes full, We’re sometimes nigh dead broke; But once a year, at Christmas time, ttuThearth is brighrto see; The baby's hand just touches heaven When Daddy lights the tree. For weeks and weeks the little ones Have plotted on this hour; And mother, she has planned for it Since summer's sun and show.cr, With here a nickel, there a dime, . rut by where none should sec, A Invlltglnwird against the night When Daddy lights the tree. The tiny tapers glow like stars; They ’mind us of the flame That rifted once the steel-blue sky The morn the Christ-child came. The blessed angels sang to earth Above that fair country, We think they sing above our hearth When Daddy lights the tree. The weest child in mother’s arms Laughs out and claps her hands; Thcgrown-tlp brother stands Where he can reach the topmost branch, Our Santa Claus to be, In that sweet hour ol breathless joy 'When Daddy lights the tree. Our grandpa says 'twas just as fine , In days when he was young; > For every Christmas ages through The happy bells have rung. • . And grandpa’s head is growing gray, And yet a boy is he. As merry as the rest of us When Daddy lights the tree. .'Tis love that makes the world go around; ’Tis love that lightens toil; ’Tis love that lays up treasures which Nor moth nor rust can spoil; And love is in our humble home. In largesse full and free; We all arc very close to heaven Whbn Daddy lights the tree. Margaret E. Sangstcr. CHRISTMAS. This is Christmas. Not merely the time to exchange gifts, light the Christmas candles, and sing carols, but Christinas, the time of peace and good will toward men. We need Christmas. It is tnc one season of the year when we rise above our cares and worries and live in a higher, holier atmosphere. When gratitude and love and good fellowship reign. When bells peal, and children laugh, and everyone is glad. When every snowflake that falls seems to speak of purity, peace, and good cheer. • Christmas. The whole world pins its faith to Christmas. The whole world feels its pulse quicken, its heart beat faster, and its entire soul buoyed up with that feeling of inef­ fable peace that Christmas brings. This is Christmas. Smile, spread the good cheer, for­ give, be grateful, and give. Give of the bounties that have been bestowed upon you» Give of your friendship, of your affections. Give, if you can give nothing elfc, a smile, a word of cheer. But give. In no other way can you enjoy the true Christmas spirit. In no other way can you fittingly pay tribute to Him whose birthday this indeed is. And a. Merry, Merry Christmas* is th£ iji cssage that it And no mailer where you’ve wandered, from New York clear to Nome. There is nothing so inviting as the Christmas hox from home! A CHRISTMAS MEDITATION. The Christ Child Over “the crowded Judean town. The shadows of night gloomed darkly down; "No roOni in “the inn,’ the only place For the weary girl with fair, young face. Was a bed of straw ’mid wond’ring kine, Where was born, that day your Lord and mine. We have in our midst the little child, We have‘the poor ami sin-defiled . The wretched, the sick, and the lonely ones. Who have known the rise of brighter suns; Comfort and cheer will come to your heart If of your Christmas these hftvc a part. No sheltered spot, but a stable bare, Yet the Lord-of LightWas cradled there; While a mother, with all a mother’s charms. Enfolded him close in loving arms. And the days that came were passing sweet For the halting tread of her baby's feet. With gladness we welcome Christmas Day We give our gifts and our hearts arc gay. But ever there comes the lender thought Of Him by whom all good is wrought. Old Israel's God the Holy One. Who gave to the world His Only Son. I think of the wondrous, shining star, I thing of the Magi from.afar,Adoring shepherds the Angel Host— Thoughts blessed arc these, but always i With willing heart, I think of the Child And hail my Lord in the LJndcfiled. • And ever there comes amid the cheer, Dear thoughts of those no longer here— “Gone on before "—and a minor strain Strikes chill on the heart with a dull refrain But the Christ-Child wipes all tears away Nor sorrow nor sighing on Christmas Day Oh, my soul grows warm for His dear sak< And hope burns high,"and I bid him make Of me His herald, to boar His Word ’Till all men everywhere have heard; For now the Hcav’nly Host again Sings, "Peace on earth; good will to men.” So the children play with fitting glee fXot yet the thought of Calvary); Earth shows her wrinkled old face aglow, And\hc sunbeams dance across the snow 1 want God's peace for the troubled heart. I want God’s will in the busy man. I want God’s love to girdle the earth. For.'tis the time of the Christ-Child's birth And the olive branch in His baby hand He raises to bless a waiting land. And I hear afar a joyful sound. And I sec a great light shine around. While a woman young and fair of face, Enfolds her Son in a fast embrace; In a stable bare, ’mid wond’ring kine. Is born this day your Lord and mine. * Cora Walker Hayes.

And an angel of the-Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them: and they were sore afraid. And the the angel said unto them. Be not afraid; for behold. 1 bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to­ you this day iq the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you: Yc shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. Ami suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of t he heavenly host’praising God. and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased. And it came to pass, ■ when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another. Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this tiring that is come to p^ss, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And thev came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger: And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. And all that heard it .wondered at the things Which were -spoken unto them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these Sayings, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned* glorifving and praising God for all lhe things that the, had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them. �The Christmas Footwear Store If in former years you have frittered away your Christmas money on impractical gifts, that are soon forgotten by the recipient, turn over a new leaf this year and let your gifts be of the sensible, practical sort of lasting appreciation—footwear.

BANNER N ANY manufacturing business the item of GENERAL EXPENSE is invariably the MOST IMPORTANT. “General Expense” includes Taxes, Insurance, Interest on Invest* meat, Interest on Indebtedness, Power, Light, Bopk-keeping and many other items of Perma­ nent Expense incident to manufacture that you CAN’T GET AWAY FROM. I One peculiar thing about "General Expense" is that it GOES RIGHT ON whether the mill is running, or whether it stands still. The FIRST thing that every manufacturer TRIES to do is to CUT DOWN his General Expense to the VERY LOWEST POSSIBLE NOTCH. By running our mill NIGHT and DAY, year in and year out, we have cut our "General Expense” account to tne LOWEST passible limit. By running night and day as we do, opr taxes, insurance, interest on investment, book­ keeping and hundreds of minor expenses are NO MORE than they would be for 10 HOURS, or ONE HOUR. By hiring an extra man or two at NIGHT we get a 24-HOUR OUTPUT ot a 10-HOUR COST. That MORE than CUTS our "General Expense” account IN TWO. In other words we get a 14-HOUR OUTPUT FOR NOTHINQ, save the bare cost of the grain. We put a lot of- opr saving on "General Ex­ pense” back into the Quality of the flour. It en­ ables us to sell Frencn’s White Lily Flour at the Same Price charged for flour of inferior grade. French’s White Lily Flour Don’t Cost You Any More than is charged for flour oHnferior Quality.

An epoch-making meeting of the republican national committee was held in tlic city of Washington last week.

If nolliingMelsc. the recent action of the national committee will afford an illuminat­ ing example of the fact that even such a round-head as Barnes of New York can’be made to see some things after his head has been bumped good anil hard. The pity of it is that such obstinate char­ acters-as Barnes and Penrose were in a position to make the party and the whole country suffer because of their folly, instead of them-1 * 'Selves having to epdure the punishment. But at last the standpatters on the committee, surveying the wreck of their own and the party’s fortunes, seem to have seen a great light; for the action of the commltce was unanimous.- In future republican conventions representation will be upon an alto­ gether different status. • I1 First—Pelcgates chosen in districts or states In- the primary ‘methods in states having primary laws will be given seats in the future Republican conventions and placed upon the roll upon the certificate of their selection by the proper state officers. This was not done in the last national convention. • Second—It was unanimously voted that, to give over 11.000 ■ republicans in a. northern state no greater representation than that given to 400 to 1,000 republicans in a southern stale, which never will be republican, is such a monstrous injustice as to be no longer F tolerated in republican national conventions. A subcommittee was ■ therefore chosen,by the national committee, and was instructed to report as soon as possible to' the whole committee a plan for reprencnlation in future republican national conventions, the same to be based upon the republican vote. That is the only fair method.

I have obserwd very closely the manner and method in which property is handled and sold, nnd the publicity used in different localities from Michigan to Wyoming, from Chicago to New Orleans nnd to Brownsville, Texas. I have found everywhere the LACK OF CO-OPERATION of the OWNERS of prop­ erty with the real estate brokers. The reason for this I ascertained’was because the brokers had not adopted the proper method of pub­ licity to secure purchasers for a QUICK SALE of their listed property. * Now, if o'real estate agent depends on LOCAL BUYERS ONLY for the sale of his listed property, nnd only advertises locally, he does NOT secure buyers who pay advanced prices and therefore does not enhance the value erf properly generally. And not only that, if the real estate agent advertises only locally and depends on local buyers for the sale of their listed property, why! the owner could do that just as effectively at only a few dollars expense. In the four years I was in business I ex­ pended thousands of dollars in foreign adver­ tising of Barry County property. I brought hundreds of prospective buyers here, and EVERY FARMED and BUSINESS MAN in Barry Courf(y KNOWS and appreciates the results my efforts brought. 1 will venture the assertion that since 1 sold my business four years ago. the real estate men of Barry County have not expended enough money in Foreign advertising to buy a boy a good Dog­ cart far a Christmas present. The results they have obtained are very evident of this fact. Now what am I goi^ig 10 do? Well, I will tell you. Not only* am I going to use foreign advertising in Farm and Sunday pa­ pers of large circulation, but I will also co­ operate with real estate men everywhere as formerly. 1 have devised a verv unique plan, wherebv I will be able to -place voltr property before TEN THOUSAND PROSPECTIVE BUYERS within THIRTY DAYS after you have listed your property with me. /There is no money-for me. or satisfaction to my client, when property ..tetumns^oft my - list UNSOLD indefinitely. ■ , So get buar. and list youj faim/city and summer resort property with- me now. DO IT TO-DAY. Call and see me when in town if you know me. If you don’t know me you ought to; so come In and let’s get ac­ quainted. Who am I? I am lhe guy that put the value in Barry County real estate. I am the guy that put the flour in the wheat. I am the guy they counted .as .good as dead. But I’ll always live— I’ll never die.

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.
