THE UNIVERSAL CAR INTERESTING FACTS ‘fr 106,327 Ford Cars and Trucks Retailed in November Approximately the same number scheduled for delivery this month .L, t * What Does This Mean? This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely un precedented for this time of the year— Ii It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford plants working at f ull capacity— It indicates a volume of business during the rapidly approach­ ing months of “heavy demand” which will befarpevond the maximum production schedule which the'Ford Motor Company has set—. " • C And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which existed last Spring and Summer. Dealers’ stocks all over the country are low—there are no re serves to draw upon to meet the demands for delivery— There is no way in which dealer Reserves can be built up, as deliveries have been made to customers as fast as Cars could be manufactured since last April. The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately. - • This emphasizes more strongly than anything we could possibly say the necessity of your making prompt arrangements with a Ford Dealer for the listing of your order, particularly if you are contemplating the purchase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer. 4 t 1 t A- We believe you are entitled to know these facts as they actually exist.

Th* greatest toll of life was taken by hurricane-' and tornado, while the overflowing of rivers, the brenking of dams aod torrential rains drove the greatest number of people from their homes. The property loss was estimated at mor* than *30.000.000. The year's disasters reported In­ eluded twenty-six floods, nineteen tor. nadoes, fifteen fires, four epidemics, two theatre collapses, two shipwrecks (one an airship), and a bridge col­ lapse, mine . explosion, railway collirion, and a drought. Of the floods In the Unlttd State* that at Ban An­ tonin.

A National Calamity Tn the Red Cross disaster relief records there will probably remain for many years one calamity which touched nearly every state with a sense of horrpr and of losa. This was the distressing collapse of the roof of the Knickerbocker Theatre In Washington, D. C-. resulting In nlnety-rix deaths and 125 persons Injured. Situated In the center of the beauti­ ful Nortlwest residential section, this motion pldtur* thestre was patronized by many pereons of prominence both In the official and plvll life of the Na­ tional Capital, whose family and per­ sonal connections radiated out over the entire country. The horror was Intensified by a terrific *nowstorm which, though It retarded, did not block Red Cross relief. Airship Crash Finds Aid at Hand The crash and destruction of the U. 8. Army's large Blrsblp Roma In Vir­ ginia last February with the loss of 34 officers aqd men Wrid H Injured was the first disaster Of Its kind to call for Red Cross relief In this country.

In medical relief that was quick and effective the smallpox epidemic in San Domingo, which had a total of 22,000 eases with 225 deaths In a slngle^luy. tested the readintea of the lied Cross for action, and the same can be said of the San Domingo hurricane, which killed 12 persons aqd reduced the homes of 182 persons to wreckage. A flood In Ban Salvador, with a death toll of 50 and 2.000 refugees, was also effectually handled by the local Chap­ ter of the American Red Cross.

You will try and figure out ways whereby you can “cut the corners” on OIDn FOB PVBLICATIOX. Anyone can make their money go farther by paying close atten­ tion to buying. The question of ‘‘PRICE’’ alone isn’t always a de­ termining factor. “QUALITY” should always be given careful con­ sideration. For instance, you might buy a bushel of apples that would be a bargain at $3.00, while another bushel would be dear at $1.50. In that case you would be making money by paying twice aa much for the same quantity. In a good many articles, even where the price is the same, or about the same, very often you will find that one is really worth far more than any of the others, because it will have BETTER QUALITY be­ hind it That is the way with FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR—it doesn’t cost you any more than any other flour, but it is a BETTER VALUE because it is MADE better.

You pay the same price for other flours that you do for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR, but YOU DO NOT GET THELSAME VALUE. Some times your bread is heavy and soggy; sometimes you have to throw it away.

Remarks made from men RMERSON EDGEK can recall Judge Sherman O. Prlndlo, who was for 16 years probate judge of Barry county, being succeeded in that office by Judge Clement Smith, who was first elected in the fall of 1876. Shortly after this, Judge Prindlo re­ moved to Grand Rapids, whore hb three sons. Dr. Clarence, Prank and Henry bad located, and there he died a few yean ago. / In 1897 Judge Prindlo was asked to write for tho Barry County Pioneer Bocjcty a history of Rutland township, where he settled in 1847, and where ho lived until he took his office as. probate judge of Barry county. The BANNER believes our readers, particularly those of Rutland, will be interested in this pioneer history of that township. To The Pioneer Society of Barry Co. Tho writer having been one of the earlier settlero of Rutland, and being ■early the only surviving one, has boon requested to writ* up an account of it* early history. He has done so as best he could from his best recollections. I was born in Hopewell, Ontario Co., N. Y., J«iy 4, 1825. Came with my parents to Michigan in May, 1836, stop­ ping near Aon Arbor until tho follow­ ing March when wo settled in Sharon, Washtenaw Co.

We reached Sandstone tho first day. Stopping there over night and the next day arrived at Battle Creek, putting up a with a brother-in-law, E. Dorrand.

THE WORLDS GREATEST NEWSPAPER^ Q/frinounces A BIG REDUCTION IN SUBSCRIPTION RATES For the ‘Benefit of Readers Receiving The Tribune By zMail ° /HE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, realizing that its phenomenal success is due in a large measure to the fact that for seventy-five years it has numbered among its readers a large proportion of the residents of farms and smalt cities who receive The Tribune by mail, announces for their benefit a big reduction in subscrip­ tion rates effective January 15th, 1923. Therefore, without waiting further for Congress to act, The Tribune announces a reduction in sub­ scription rates ranging from ft to ft. This cut in rates will cost The Tribune approximately $200,000.00 each year, but The Tribune will pay the bill in the interest of its many country readers. New subscription* to The Chit starting on and after January 1 accepted at the following rates: THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE [By Mail. Six Days a Wrefc] The reduction ranges from >/3 to % below former rates In 1917, as a war measure. Congress passed a bill providing tor four annual ruses in Postal Rates for newspaper subscriptions. As The Tribune had, for many years before, sold its paper to out-of-town readers at less than cost, it felt compelled to add a por­ tion of these postage increases to its subscription rates. 3 Month*.. 6 Month*12 Months.. $1.00. _ 2.50 .. 3.75 7.50. I .50 125 2.50 5.00 For the past three years The Chicago Tribune has been leading the fight to obtain a reduction in second-class postage rates so that it could reduce to pre-war prices its subscription rates to residents of farms and small cities. The Chicago Daily Tribune today enjoys the largest circulation in its history and the largest morning circu­ lation in America—averagingover530,OOO copiesdaily. It will readily be seen, therefore, that the reduction is not made primarily to secure more circulation. Although every one of the other ten taxes estab­ lished by the war revenue act of 1917 has been reduced, Congress has not seen fit as yet to reduce the tax on second-class postage. If you wish to receive The Chicago Daily Tribune —with its many wondeyful features—regularly, take advantage ot these new, low rates now. Mail luoicription coupon below. Note that $2J0 will now bring you The Chicago Daily Tribune by mail tor six months, or $5.00 for a whole year. At the present Postal Rates it costs The Tribune from $3.20 to $6.79 a year for Postage alone to send the paper to each subscriber in the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. In many instance* this is more than The Tribune’s entire subscription price—without considering the coat of the product For the benefit of ita country readers The Tribune will continue its fight tor fairer pottage rates.

A Little Talk About FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR We believe in pushing a good thing along and as long as it IS good, people do not object to reading about it re­ gardless of how many times we may mention it.

Wa extend our sympathy to Mral Moeaenger, also to Alonso Hilton's family during their time of sorrow. Mr. MoMeuger’s funeral was held Sun- There’s a Reason Don’t Experiment for our wanting to impress it upon your mind that FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is different than a great many other brand* of flour. From experience we have found out that people who have never used this flour before and have purchased a trial sack, have been so well satisfied with the baking result* they obtained, they could not be in­ duced to change back to any other brand of flour. Thi* came thing happened to a great many people year* ago and they are still using FRENCH’S WHITE ULY FLOUR and are well satisfied with it. The reason itsatisfies is because of it* superior quality. It is made better than other brand* of flour but cell* for the same low price that inferior brands sell for. If you are interested in saving time and money, don’t experiment wilh other brand* of flour, when you can get FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR that is guaranteed to ghre satisfaction. Ask almost any hou»<^ wife and she will tell you she is either using or going to use FRENCH S WHITE LILY FLOUR because she is tired of the costly experiences at­ tached to using brand* of flour she know* nothing about We are just a* anxious to have you satisfied with FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as ^e are to have you try it and wa have spared no expense in making it a* good a* it .could be made and wa are glad to back it up with our guarantee.

Wo notice that "Good Roads Earl" has appeared at Lansing, and has open Iv charged that tho proposed tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline, and the pro posal that auto trucks and auto stages pay a higher tax, is an iniquitous plan of the farmers of Michigan to relieve themselves of their own just burdens nnd put them upon tho residents of cities! In making such a foolish state­ ment Mr. Earl convicts himself of be­ ing a special pleader for selfish in­ terests who want to use the improved highways of Michigan for their own pleasure or prdfit and desire to have tho farmers keep them up so the trucks and busses may successfully carry on their freight and passenger traffic on the public highways, with the maximum of damage to the improved roods and with almost no contribution toward their maintenance. You would not have to guiws that Mr. Earl lives in Detroit. Strange logic that, that tho people of this state ought to require the railroads to bear all the expense of the rnainte nance of their own roadbeds, ties and tracks, an$ that tho taxpayers should be forced to maintain highways for tbe operation of the profit-seeking autd trucks end auto busses! If there is any fairness in that proposition wo fail to see it. In our judgment it is most un­ fair competition for the railroads and equally unfair to the taxpayers. The taxable property of this state, about 85 per cent of whieh is real os Ute, has been called upon to bear all tho expense of tho construction of the improved roads. That may not be un fair, for they largely benefit such tax­ payers. Evon in the rural districts there would not be serious complaint about it if it were understood that their maintenance would bo provided for in Closing Out All Coats Inventory Specials Women’s fleeced vest, Dutch neck, elbow sleeve, in all sizes, at 89c.

York Times adys: Radio has been of great value aa a medium -at disseminating weather fdreeaata, atornr warnings, market reports and agricultural statistics during the last year, aedbrding to Weather Bureau officials. In July, 1922, there wore nine­ ty-eight stations in tho thirty-five States broadcasting information to the fann­ ers. Thousands of farmhouses are now equipped with radio-receiving instru­ ments. Exchange of woather reports from all sections of the wdrld is neces­ sary for accurate weather forecasting. Radio, with its speed of 180,000 mila* a second, collects the reports quickly from all over the earth, and makes a report from London just aa up to date in Washington aa a report from New York. Arrangements have been made for ex­ changing weather observations between twenty-two countries in Europe, Canada, America, tho Pacific Islands and the Far East. , The French meteorological bureau broadcasts daily from Eiffel Tower. Arlington, Va., is tho main station In the United Btatcs for broad eAstiog daily weather •forecasts.

OXO=GAS MADE FROM KEROSENE (COAL OIL) AND AIR THE CHEAPEST AND MOST EFFICIENT GAS KNOWN TO SCIENCE i ; Science has demonstrated that the consumption of coal under present concntions is a very uneconomical method of producing heat In the ordinary stove only 2&% to 80% of the heat is utilized. . OXO-GAS produced from common coal oil (kerosene), particularly when mixed with 96% of atmospheric air (oxygen), is the utilization of every heat unit of the fuel. It produces a larger amount of heat with the smallest possible amount of loss. In addition to the advantage of the large proportion of heat thus cheaply cre­ ated and the quickness with which it can be obtained, OXOrGAS is the most perfect form of combustion, there being no smoke, ashes or soot A more ideal gas for household use could not be conceived. * ■ We Have Taken the Agency for Barry Co. and Will Have One On Demonstration At All Times Henry Kuempel will have charge of all outside work. about OXO-GAS, ask Heery.

Pottum FOR health "There’s a Reason’’ BANNER WANT ADVB. PAT. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR The Flour That Makes the Best Bread You can't make good bread from poor flour, so your bread can never be any better than the flour from which it is made.. If you are using flour that is only run through three or four sets of rolls, such as is made in ordinary mills, you are not getting tho best flour for your money. Such flour is not made right, because it is rushed through the rolls so rapidly that it is impossible to bring it down to a smooth even granulation. There will be large “chunks" and small particles; it will not absorb the yeast and liquid evenly and it cannot bake evenly. • The result is a “poor baking." Perhaps you will have to throw some of it away, which of course ADDS to the COST of the flour. There is nothing that is more indigestible than poor, heavy bread. There is nothing more healthful and appetizing than GOOD BREAD. . You can be assured of good bakings every time you use FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR. It is not like ordinary flour. We clean our grain better, and we put it through 17 sets of rolls before it ia finished and sacked. You pay no more for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR than you do for ordinary flour. By owning our own mill, water power and lighting plant; by running 24 hours a day, year in and year out, thereby cutting our “general expense" in two; by hawing the latest and best equipment in flour making machinery, we are able to clean our grain better, put it through 17 sets of rolls, and sell it to you at the same price aa ordinary flour, which is only put through from three to five sets of rolls. ' You have probably made up your mind .that “some time" you are going to try FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR, if you are not now WHY NOT ORDER A SACK TODAY?

Ken­ drick of Grand Rapids and the pas­ tors of what is known os the “Hos­ tings Group’’ of that district, met hero on Thursday to consider plans for group action in the campaign to raise 72,200,000 in the Michigan and De­ troit conferences of the Methodist Siiscopal church for a big forward ucationol movement. Of thia sum, 71,700,000 is to be. for Albion college —71,000,000 for permanent endowment and 7700,000 for new buildings. That college has completely outgrown its present equipment in buildings, and neAls the income from the increased endowment to carry on its splendid work. The college has a wide repu­ tation for the excellency of its work, and this campaign will equip it for the larger stuflent body and to maintain its position as one of the beat of the smaller colleges. The ehureh and the state both need this fine Institution and the larger, work it will h« sable to do with its larger equipment and osdowment made possible by the raising of the 71,706/)00. , The remaining 7500,000 asked for u to build a large guild or headquarters for the 1,106 Methodist students at Ann Arbor, at a cost of 7350,000, also a headquarters for Methodist students at the M. A. C. at a cost of 750,000, also at each of the four normal col­ leges, at an expense of 725,000 each. The campaign .will start hero on Tbtirs dar. February’!.

An education limited to the development of the mind is a one sided development. Character is of even greeter importance, and for that re­ ligious instruction is necessary.

The essential things this denionstrabo interested will bo: (1) How and under what conditions to use lime and what fertilixere will insure a profitable return for their use, and result in improving tho fertility of land! (2) What rotation of crops will give the best results on particular types of soils; and what crops are best adapted to each type of soil. Any farmer in any township in Bar­ ry county, not omitting Woodland, must be able to see at least a few, and in some township* very many, and in oth­ ers a large majority of farms where soil depletion is evident, so that it i* no longer possible to raise profitable crops on such farms. In the western half and toe southern half of Barry county there are few school district* that do not have from one to a half a dozen abandoned farms. Tho reason: Continued cropping has robbed tho soil of it* fertility. It is a matter of time, study, and industry to bring those farms back to a profitable basis. It has boon repeatedly demon­ strated that it can bo done. Experts with knowledge of soils and efops must lead the way. It ia an opportunity that Barry coun­ ty eannot afford to pass by to get a state demonstration farm, located in this county, where Barry county farm­ ers ean get first hand results. County Agent Bennett has been seek­ ing to get one of tho six demonstration farms for Barry eounty, and is entitled to great credit for-having tha offer definitely made to locate one of them in this eounty. At the meeting hold in his offieo Baturday afternoon, where there were 30 . /representative* present of tho various \ JitereeU we have mentioned, there was the finest kind of a spirit shown, ovary one agreeing that Barry eounty must never miss this opportunity to serve and aid its fanning industry, which ba* been such bard lines in recent The following resolution wii unani­ mously passed at this meeting: “We unqualifiedly endorse, and put ourselves on record individually and collectively aa heartily in favor of se­ curing a state experiment and dotnou­ st rat ion farm in Barry county, prefer­ ably by taxation, believing that is tho only equitable manner in which it ean done, sineo all our people would de­ rive great benefit front such an enter­ prise.1’ It need* bo argument to prove that whatever wiU benefit the farm- expressed their hearty approval, County Agent Bennett was instructed to choose a committee of five to work out the plan.

No matter what the trouble is, all you have to do is to say those 12 words rapidly, and your ail­ ment will disappear like a mist before a summer sun. Tho imrao day that Couo arrived, Carveth 4 Stebbins received a letter from a fellow way down in Norfolk, Vir­ ginia. which reads ns follows: "I have found through years of use of yocr Peckham's Remedy for Chil­ dren's Coughs and Colds an nlmost in­ valuable service.

ING TIME ROGERS SPOKE HERE ANNUAL MEETING Large Increase In Business for Year 1922 very highly of the co-operation thnt they received from the office and officers and predicted a successful year for 1923. Seymour Person of Lansing said-that the Lansing business men were well pleased wiih the < service of the company nnd it had tho reputation of being fair and honorable in its Mttlcmnnti. He knew of no other company in the state ' that used as much eare in Mottling its claims. He had been n member pared at all times to meet its obligations and to protect its policy hold­ ers. Geo. J. Berko of the law firm of Cavanaugh k Burke of Ann Arbor emphasized the need of carrying liability insurance and felt that the company with ila experience was able to give the best |K>raible pro­ jection. In fact, many people carrying the regular policy did not under­ gland' that in connection with fire ami theft there was 95,000 of lia­ bility protection so that in case any claim was made against tho policy holder or a law-suit started, the policy holder would be protected. Don W. Van Winkle of Howell aajd thnt ho had given quite a lot of atten­ tion :o automobile insurance claims during tho past few yearn and felt thaj every automobile owner noir realized tho necessity' of carry­ ing autolnobile insnrancc nnd from the experience of the company . they were well prepared to take earc of every claim nnd to handle every kind of adjustment. He xni<J that uo other kind of insurance was so complicated and the value of an insurance policy' depended largely upon the service given by tho company and the feet that tho Citizen's Mutual had settled 10,9G9 claims proved that the organiza­ tion had grown and kept pace with the volume of business. The compnny ia starting the year 1923 with every promise of con­ ' tihued success. It haa prartically the name officers nnd ngeney force with the exception that each year new agents have been nddeil n» well as adjusters to keep pace with the rapid growth of the company.

H. 8. last week over affairs of state. Congressmen Walton and Butler strove to look pompous and talked of law, witnesses, and courts, until everyone was mystified. It was also observed that Joe Kidder looked" rather thin and pale, although he tried to appear con­ fident and cheerful. Joo had a right tq be worried, however, for to be charged by a fellow congressman of treachery and the destroying of pub­ lic property ia enough to "reduce al­ most any qnc” to a state of fear. For Mr. Kidder was tried at the meeting Friday to ascertain whether or not he was built by nature to bo a member of eoagreee. The meeting eame to order in the regular way and as soon u possi­ ble the trial was started. Congressman Richardsoh acted as clerk, while Wai having a banquet there for the members of tho club. Charles McIntyre waa appointed as a committee to in­ vestigate, and it is possible thnt some­ thing of this sort may be dono in the near future. Jarnos Wallace, Wayno Hershberger, Harris Woodburno and Clarence Pren­ tice, os candidates for admission, gave (DMChM on why they desired to join ■tno elub, so that members could got a lj.no up on their desirability. Wood­ burno drew npplnuso by saying thnt he wanted to join tho club because he knew that it was all bays and that he could argue without having always to let some lady have the last word.

WHOLESOME BREAD” TO TAKE THE PLACE OF “WHEATHEART” For a long time we have been putting out our bread under the name of "Wheatheart," and it has enjoyed the greatest reputation for QUALITY in this city and surrounding territory, of any bread ever sold here. Of course, everyone understands that the NAME of a bread has absolutely nothing whatever to do with its QUALITY. It is WHAT YOU PUT INTO THE BREAD, and the way it is prepared and baked that COUNTS. , . When we selected the word “Wheatheart" as the name for our bread, we supposed that no other concern was using it. It seems, however, that the Ward Bakery Co., of New York City, copyrighted the name “Wheatheart” before we did, and are therefore rightfully entitled to use it as applied to the manufacture of bread. The Ward Bakery Co. has asked us to discontinue using the name “Wheat­ heart,” which of course we will do. This we regret very much, even though the name absolutely in no way has anything to do with the QUALITY of the bread we make. • Hereafter our bread will go out under the name — “J. & K. WHOLESOME BREAD.” It will be our old Wheatheart Bread un- der a new name, and will be sold for 12 CENTS PER LOAF. All food products will soon come under state law control. Bread will be STANDARDIZED, as well as other package goods. One of the units on bread will be that it shall weigh 1 4 pounds per loaf. * “J. & K. Wholesome Bread” will be made FULL WEIGHT, just as we have always'given FULL VALUE for every penny spent with ' •' us. , As you have always found Wheatheart Bread, just so will you find “J. & K. Wholesome Bread” a BETTER loaf than ever, honest in WEIGHT, attractive in APPEARANCE, GOOD COLOR, fine texture, good-keeping QUALITY, and ALWAYS FRESH. In the manufacture of <4J. & K. WHOLE BREAD” we will use nothing but the very BEST of materials, and everything will be pre­ pared under the most wholesome and SANITARY surroundings. Nd detail will be overlooked to make “J. & K.” just as good a loaf as can possibly be made, and our aim will be to give you the BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE. Ask Your Grocer for “J, & K. WHOLESOME BREAD” and Accept No Other.

Mr. Lennon believes that these bond bolding* and contract* eaa be brought to light for purposes of taxa­ tion by the same process now used by th* federal government in th* making of income tax reports. Representative Jay Town* of Jaekson county haa in­ troduced th* identical bill except that th* Town measure levin* the same an­ nual tax on bonds issued by the state, •onnty, eity, village, township, school district or road district. If tho Genosce member i* not very enthusiastic for tho bill he sponsors In the program it can bo charged to hi* affection for th* income tax plan. Representative, Len­ non la very frank in his opposition to tho thro* mills annual tax on mort gages, an outstanding feature of the Lord report, in fact ho doo* not antinipal* thi* feature will pern, “a* a great bulk of this tax,” he says, "wfll be passed on to the borrower. Just anoth­ er slap at th* man who ean leart afford to stand tho expense.*' He say* the suggestion to divert the primary echool money to the general fund is positively ridiculous and hat no chance whatever, just aa much a* to say the whole fax program as proposed in the special committee report is crippled by such an absurd suggestion. "In tho first place” declared Rep. Lennon, ‘bWayno coun ty would not bole for »ueh a proposi tion and of couro* no rural section of the state would think of aueh a thing. The school tax question is another growing difficulty in out tax problems. There U a district over in my county where the rote is >33 a thousand. This consolidated echool plan is qnfortunat* in most instances be cause the valuation of the combined district* is not sufficient to provide the extra operating eorta. Yhb'.tax bunion on the land is actually so high ia some of the»« district* that tho fanner can’t oven sell out.” Two year* ago the legislature, aecording to Representative Lennon, wip given to understand the only hope to legalize a corporation tax wa* to fix n reasonable maximum fee. “Last year," he said, “only ninety-five concern* in the state paid the maximum and the proposition to make all concern* pay a rertain mill tax on thejr surplus and paid in capital stock would in the tiggregale aetuxliy cut down the rove uue frtm thnt *ourt*o. B/-wiping out the maximum, the Ford Motor Com­ pany, for example, would pay >674,000. the General Motor* Company >471,000. Of course thi* isn’t *o serious in peak times, on the other hand. *ueh a tax in,a big slump year might ruin some corporations. 8o you can readily see that thi* proposal might easily kill tho goose that lays the golden tax egg* to ■ay nothing of the hazard in having the supreme court declare the whole aet void for failure to provide a “rea •enable ” maximum. Here is another place where the income tax would be the fairest. If the corporation didn't make any profit it would not have to pay. I make the prediction that the manufaetuesrs of tno state will rue the day they opposed the income tax amendment. A* a matter of fact the amendment a* finally drafted at four per cent bad, as we supposed, their approval. Their subsequent opposition was quite a surprise to the friends of the bill. Still I don’t know as there is any use of complaining.

The Economical Housewife Bakes With Flour That Gives Best Results FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT IT IS THE MOST ECONOMICAL FLOUR TO USE. If you ever get the idea that you are cutting down your living ex­ penses by using flour that perhaps may cost you a few cents less per sack than FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR then you’ve got “another guess coming.” You may be thinking all the while about tho few pennies that you THINK you saved on the purchase of that sack of flour. Now did you REALLY save even those few pennies? You haven’t thought about that baking you had to throw away. You hadn't thought about that batch of bread that was so soggy that the most of it had to go to the chickens, or the pigs. You haven’t thought about the hard work you had to put in to prepare and bake that bread. You had to throw away not only the bread but YOUR TIME as well. Don’t you count your time WORTH ANYTHING? You surely ought to. It would COST MONEY to get anyone to do the work you are doing. . The real fact is that the actual cost of the flour and the time you THREW AWAY on one baking, would MORE than make up the dif­ ference between the cost of the sack of poor flour you bought, and a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY—tho best flour your money can buy. • No doubt when you threw away your baking you dismissed the sub­ ject from your mind with the thought that it was only another case of “bad luck.” But the real fact is that it was NOT a case of bad luck— it was a case of “poor flour.” . . You can’t have good bakings from poorly milled flour. Where tho grain haa to be “RUSHED” through throe or four sets of rolls in order to get a PRODUCTION that will be PROFITABLE, you cannot expect to get a good, smooth, even QUALITY of flour. You certainly would not expect a good batch of bread from dough that had been “kneaded” only about a quarter as much as it should have been. Then whe. expect to make good bread from flour that has been rushed through. a mill, and is really only about one-quarter manufactured? FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR goes through 17 seta of rolls, every particle of flour going through the same process until it finally comes out a perfectly smooth, oven granulation. . If you have been using an ordinary flour and will try a sack of • FRENCH’S WHITE LILY you will readily see tha difference between it and thu ordinary flour.

The other alternative, if not a gasoline tax, must bo a continuation of n property tax. Tbe Btatc is groaning under the present property tax and al­ most demands a shifting of th* burden. There are some thirteen states now op­ erating under a gasoline tax and they nre thoroughly satisfied with it, and have no intention of reverting to n property tax for highway expenses. The advantage* of a gasoline tax over a fixed license fee on motor vehicle* is that tho vehicles pay, through a gaso­ line tax, in exact proportion to its wear and tear on tho highways." "It i* true that a largo number of motor vehicles aro ofcierating largely within city limits, but it is also true much city property is now taxed fdr highway purposes that has practically no interest in the highway* outside of the eitie*. On the other hand, about ninety per cent of all the traffic on the rural highway* is traffic emanating from -the citivw.

MUSCALLONGE Mitred himself Io bait a big heavy lino with a choice morsel and dropped it into the water. Almost immediately there was a swish through the water, which was lashed almost to a foam. Joel tried to hang onto tho line, bqt tbe fish palled it through hi* hand* so rapidly that tho speeding Hue was literally burned into the flesh. But finally the fi*h wa* tired out, wo* gradually ^ille>i toward* the hole, and in time pulled out. It was a beautiful specimen of a lauseallonge, 4 feet. 2 inches long. -Al­ most as soon as this old boy .wa* safe­ ly landed, tho honnd struck another point, but Joel wa* so tickled with what he had already caught that he gathered up tbe fish and 'the dog and made a bee line for Hasting*. Tho “uuwkic” weighed <0 pounds. It was the ceatcr of an admiring crowd of tin can sports, whose catches nre usually limited to sardine* nt 25 cent* per. Several of the *[>ectator* had stories to tell of thn “big onea” they caught, nnno of them smaller than the one on display, and increasing in size ac­ cording to who had the nerve to tell tho last story. It is really quite un explainable why the statements of really good, reliable people, whose word you would accept without reserve on any other subject, are invariably ques­ tioned whan it come* to relating a fish story. In the matter of fl*hing, people produced in tho form of a fish that they can see with their owa eyes, handle with their own hands, nnd give their own opinion about it* weight, rather than accept any mere statement you may I make about the size and weight of the “big one” Jrou claim you caught, but which no one ever saw—perhap* including yourself. Funny i*n’t ilt But it’s true. It goes without saying that Joel is now a confirmed believer in the effi­ ciency of a Fish Hound, and since his experience the prospects of the Pod Augur Fish Corporation have taken on MIDDLEVILLE - Miss Esther-M.

This assures the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE, for it doubles our output, and we own our own plant and water power. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR reduces living expenses, and is the most ECONOMICAL for the house­ wife, because of the best quality of wheat and the best processing known to the flouring business. When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR you not only get all the flour goodness of the best Michigan winter wheat, but you get such an even, perfect granulation as will enable the housewife to get more loaves of bread and better bread from a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE,LILY FLOUR than from any other flour. And it will also hpld moisture better. If you aie not now using it, we invite you to make the test, if you are, you know all we have said is so.

Their financial condition was such that they needed to talk the matter over with their banker. It appeared that this banker coujd appreciate the value of a good bull and told the brothers to go ahead. They planned to spend about $1500' for the bull, but after inspecting several of the best herds of the'country they decided they wanted a bull that would cost them $6000 instead of $1500. They again consulted their banker and obtained his approval of'their plan. ■ Upon delivery of their $6000 .bull a previous owner offered then! $6500. One year later this same man offered them $10,000. Later they received an offer of $15,000 from another party. They again consulted their banker and he advised them that this bull was not too good for them or their community. This bull has been exhib­ ited at many fairs and stock shows about the country.. Something Over One Year Ago the Brothers Refused Offer of $25,000 for This Bull All this is only a port of the story. Every dairyman can greatly increase the worth of his herd and put money in his pocket by working along the line suggested by this story. During the period since the brothers purchased this $6000 bull they have sold 15 to 20 calves at $1500 each. �This a Few ing in the (tore, action, on just .the things you need.

WWM Eco "tomicai �>k for Every Purpose ■very Station In Life Buicks lhave given exceptional service to hundreds of thousands of owners for twenty years past and are today the, T • Standard of Comparison in Automobiles Built —living up to the slogan, “When Better.. Automobiles Buick will Build Them.” No single season in recent years has seen so many imi irovements in Buick cars as the present one; and never has the Buie] : line been so complete. Here is a double advantage for the purchaser of a motor car. Among the fifteen fine vehicles that bear the Buick nameplate for the season of 1923, there is a range of selection and a mechanical ex­ cellence that insures the utmost satisfaction. Buick has long stood apart among motor cars. For twenty years and more Buick has been the world’s leading exponent of Valve-inHead principle of motor design, and Buick cars have been every­ where respected for their marked power, endurance, long life and econojny. The present season is one of exceptional progress, for it brings with it changes so general that they improve the operation, or the comfort, or the convenience of every unit in the car, from the engine to the smallest details. All of these changes are well-considered and have their origin in sound engineering. The engine, for example, is fitted with longer pistons and connecting rods, adding to the smoothness and long wear for which the Buick engine has always been noted. A new rear spring suspension has been devised which is undoubtedly the highest development of the cantilever type yet ' achieved. The frame, the transmission, the rear axle, the brakes, the bodies and their equipment, each shows the hand of the skilled designer by some new and valuable features. . , The insurance companies have rated all fifteen models as Class A fire risks, because of the safety of their electrical and gasoline systems. The theft rate has been materially reduced because of the protection afforded by the stout transmission lock. This means a big saving in insurance premiums,over cars not so rated: it also in­ dicates the close attention to detail that has been paid these Buick cars for the season of 1923. THE BUICK CREED A Buick automobile must be ao built that it will, at all times and under all circumstances, give the owner uninterrupted use of his in­ vestment. Every Buick owner is entitled to, and will receive prompt and efficient service—the kind that will insure him the motoring pleasure he expects. . . Buick reputation so pre-eminently firm and fair, was not won by chance, but is due to the policy established with the production of the first Buick car and so consistently adhered to ever since—(bat of giv­ ing the owner the maximum of service for the minimum of cost. No matter what its price, a Buick car must and will give the max­ imum of that service for which it was intended, and must bear its proportion of the responsibility of maintaining the high prestige which Buick cars have attained. l' The Guarantee Back of Buick With every sale of a new Buick-Car—Four or Six—there ia a written guarantee which promises replacement of any part that "7 proves ‘ ‘to be defective from '----- 2the-------manufacturing ______________ stand1point.

This splendid result has been brought about through intelligent co-operation of cm? ployes. The saving ip life, efficiency, and money cannot be computed. The fact that the Company has been able to secure \Vhole-hearted co-operation is -the reason for the complete success of the safety plan, and is a very jrignificant fact in connection with all this Company’s enterprises. During the first year after the plan was adopted, over 97% of die safety sugges-' tions made by employees were adopted. Mechanical safeguards were greatly ex­ tended, and a system of education was carried on whereby in numerous instances the habits of the employees were changed. Thoughtfulness was substituted for thoughtlessness. This cafnpaign with its remarkable achieve­ ment of 80% decrease in accidents i« of, definite interest to 30 million people in 10 Middle Western Slates. v Safety in occupation promotes efficiency of the worker at his task, and makes him a better citizen. The employee who realizes’the fact that his safety is being looked after at every turn is free to give his entire attention to his duties. In any industty the human factor is the'key ' to efficiency. The man who is content, well paid, assured of his future, and safe from in.]ury, may be depended upon to give his best effort ttrhis work. He is more productive; he is more content; he is prouder of his work. Thus by safeguarding the welfare of the worker, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) takes the initial step towards harmony within the organization, which enables the Company to produce annually a tremendous volume of petroleunf products of uniform quality, which are such essential factors in promoting commer­ cial progress and domestic happiness. .

Requirements for February, the month when preparations are already under way for Spring business, called for 148,407 Cars and Trucks—more than 24,000 in excess of the number we can possi­ bly produce. - ■ Ford dealers in many parts of the country are already finding it necessary to specify future delivery dates on Ford Products be­ cause there are no reserve stocks to draw from.

When all is said, strikes are but the symptoms | of an industrial disease, which is not eradicated = when the strike is settled. If those engaged in I tike conduct of a business, whether they be em- 1 ployer or employe, will approach a controverted I point in a spirit of justice, the differences can be 4 adjusted satisfactorily and the strike made an j unnecessary extravagance. . The record of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) | . is a record of industrial peace. Employes of the ; organization always have had ample opportunity ; for bringing their grievances to the attention of . the management, and during the past few years i .ways have been provided whereby these com- .• . plaints can be adjusted with promptness and I finality. This ia called the Department of In- t dustrial Relations. Its function is to substitute evolution for revolu- j tion; to avert discontent; to prevent conditions which give nse to disorder and strikes. Since inaugurating this Department of Industrial Relations we have had little or no labor troubles | and these have been adjusted as soon as the facts | could be set forth, and Opportunitygiven to demon- ' atrate the justice of each aide to the controversy. | Team-work is the fundamental base upon which ' the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) efficiency is J built. To calculate the value of this efficiency in . terms of money one has but to figure the cost of ’ disorganization, discomfort and expense which : the people in the Middle western States have : suffered through industrial strife. As petroleum . products- enter into every phase of life to an extent which appears incredible to the layety, uncertainty or scarcity in the supplying of these ■ products would affect the daily hte of the indivi­ dual definitely, unfavorably, disastrously. Both the management and the employes of tbe Standard Oil Company (Indiana) recognize team­ work as a definite necessary part of this organ­ ization.

OIL It outstrips any lubricant on the market in maintaining its body through any extreme of temperature. Its elasticity and adhesiveness cause a perfect seal and complete lubri­ cation at all motor speeds and temperatures. Don’t fool yourself into fancied security, by thinking, “Oh, the oil I’m using works all right— why bother to change I It’s just as good I” There is no "just as good”, or even “second best” lubrication. There is one right lubri­ cant for your car. It is specified in the Chart. When you do not use this lubricant, you fail to get the maxi­ mum of economy, efficiency and saving of wear on your engine. Change your motor oil every 500 miles—it is the essence of economy. Remember the resources — the experience — the scientific experts of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are behind every gallon of Polarine sold.

The LaFollettc investigating committee in Wash­ ington brought out facts which proved the same thing. The investigation of this Committee developed, we believe, just why the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been uniformly successful, and why it has within the comparatively few years of its existence contributed so materially to our na­ tional prosperity—more particularly the prosper­ ity in the Middle West. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) attributes its success primarily to the fact that it earnestly desires to render the public a complete cycle of essential service, from oil well to refinery, to the consumer. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a large retailer of its own products. It maintains for thi* purpose a distribution system which for size, thoroughness, juidefficiency is unequalled in the world. It maintains and expands its business solely on a basis of quality and service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has stead­ fastly maintained the policy of minimizing the spread between manufacturing costs and retail selling prices. This has meant, and means today a low price for gasoline and other petroleum products as compared with other essential com­ modities. A glance through any Department of Labor Bulletin featuring comparative prices for necessities will demonstrate this fact. . The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its success. It believes that its methods arc exceptionally efficient. It believes that in many instances they have been a valuable contribution to the country’s economic progress. It believes that the Company’s activities redound to tha advantage of the consumer and the public. Standard Oil Company 910 S. Michigan Ave., C ‘ ________ -__ __ _. । �LEGIS!

In other words it would penalize a progressive organization and force it to divide its means of service with inefficient organizations. That sort of tyranny over business r-'nnot go on. Human beings will.not work without reward. They will not improve sendee or cheapen pro­ duction and distribution if the profit of such improvements is to be legislated away from them by socialistic demagogues. If this re­ port became the basis of the legislation it seeks it'would destroy the incentive for im^^€10801 and energy in the oil business, and t business would lapse into a condition where we would pay many times the price we • now pay for its products. “Such thinking and such attacks upon suc­ cessful business of any kind threatens the same disaster.- It means demoralization of industry and energy and threatens an end to . all improvement; “The writer of this editorial does not now own, and never has owned, nor expects to • own, one share of Standard or any other oil stock. He has, however, owned flivvers, which consume oil products. He can understand how owners of automobiles would like to see the price of gasoline and oil come down. He can understand how a man like La Follette would seek the approval of tlie millions of automobile owners in this country by shout­ ing that they are being robbed, and promising to stop it. But he believes too much in the intelligence of automobile owners to think they will seek lower prices of gasoline by , destroying the most efficient producer and distributor of gasoline. “It would not only be folly to bring that about because of its immediate effect, but be­ cause of its future effect. The Standard Oil companies are doing more to establish new sources of supply outside this country for American consumption than any other busi­ ness we know.

The action emphasizes a growing tendency in this coun­ try to break down anything which is a success. “We quote one paragraph as illustrative of the thought or lack of thought which produced the whole: ‘While it may oe that a Standard Company in a particular territory does only about half the business in that territory—, knd some of the Standards do more than half and some less—yet in alh territory some Standard company is so much larger than any single competitor that it has come to be almost universally accepted that the tank tvagon price in any territory is controlled absolutely by the Standard marketing com­ pany for that territory.’ '•“In words not arranged by Senator La Follette, tliat can - mean only one thing, tHpnely, that there is competition, and that prices are determined by the most efficient Organization., If not, it is clear (hat a smallej} tompany would undersell the Standard, and so bring prices down. The purpose of the report uhto break up and destroy the more imcient organization for production and de­ livery of oil and oil products. What would it leave as a substitute? Numberless small -concerns, doing business inefficiently and with high overhead costs, which without the com­ petition of the Standard would immediately force prices up, not down. Incidentally it would stimulate promotion of all sorts of wildcat oil companies which would dupe In­ vestors or speculators and help raise the price of oil products. ' . •• . • ■ . *5In more detail, the report complains of the private use of Standard pipe lines, and wants to make them common carriers. In other words it would penalize a progressive organization and force it to divide its means of service with inefficient organizations. That sort of tyranny over business r-nnot go on. Human beings will.not work without reward. They will not improve sei^ce or cheapen pro­ duction and distribution if the profit of such improvements is to be legislated away from them by socialistic demagogues. If this re­ port became the basis of the legislation it seeks it would destroy the incentive for im­ provement and energy in the oil business, and that business would lapse into a condition where we would pay many times the price we now pay for its products. “Buch thinking and such attacks upon suc­ cessful business of any kind threatens the same disaster.' It means demoralization of industry and energy and threatens an end to . all improvement. “The writer of this editorial does not now own, and never has owned, nor expects to • own, one slftNe of Standard or any other oil stock. He has, however, owned flivvers, which consume oil products. He can understand how owners of automobiles would like to see the price of gasoline and oil come down. He can understand how a man like La Follette would seek the approval of the millions of automobile owners in thia country by shout­ ing that they are being robbed, and promising to stop it But he believes too much in the intelligence of automobile owners to think they will seek lower prices of gasoline by . destroying the most efficient producer and distributor of gasoline. “It would not only be folly to bring that about because of its immediate effect, but be­ cause of its future effect. The Standard Oil , companies are doing more to establish new sources of supply outside this country for American consumption than any other busi­ ness we know. They have prospectors and engineers and financiers working throughout the world to obtain wells. Are we bo lacking in intelligence that we would destroy a con­ cern which is seeking to provide for our needs after our domestic supplies are exhausted? ■ nThere is but ope suggestion in the entire report that appears sane and reaaonable. That is the one for prohibition or regulation of export. That is worthy of consideration and study.' It might be advisable, though even then we would have to consider possible retaliations and the question of whetlier it Would lie wise to cut off such a portion of bur foreign trade.

BESSMER NUMBER TWENTY THREE OF THE BER1EB. . Optometry in its full significance is a com­ bination of business and profession. The pro­ fessional duties determine what, if any, glasses are required. The non-professional duties, which are almost aa important, are devoted to producing the necessary corrective lenses, rt<£ Every profession has ita ethics, or behavior of its members toward ita professional status. Op­ tometry ha* suffered from, and ia being re­ tarded in ita progress by, the adherence of many Optometrists to a mercantile standard. An Optometrist, being a graduate of an Op­ tical college or of a university conferring an Optometrical degree, is justified in aMuming aa high an ethical standard aa a graduate in any other profession. The purpose of thia series of articles has been to make an attempt to familiarise the public in this locality with the scope, educational re­ quirements and benefits of Optometry to the public.

We began by having only the best workers in our ranks. We tanned our own leather. We made good shoes.- The price took care of itself. These shoes were ao good, such great values that everybody, everywhere wanted them. We made more and mnro until now we are making 32,500,000 pairs a year. With quantity produc­ tion manufacturing costs went down and with them prices to dealers and to you. Quality stayed up! And it stays up. We keep it there. We do ever better and better work because we like our work. People call us ‘‘the smiling shoemakers.” Why?—our factories are modem, light, airy; our homes attractive. We have libraries, play­ grounds, athletic fields, everything to make us happy. When we’re sick—medical attention without charge is at our disposal. We all share in the profits of the business. Isn’t it natural we should smile? And isn’t it natural our work should be better for it? We think so. We are sure your children will too, with their first E-J's.

Polarine gets into action the moment the engine starts, because its viscosity is scientifically correct—its body stable, without being heavy. Its consistency, even in the coldest weather, is such that it spreads quickly, forming a perfect film between all the moving metal surfaces. Polarine is scientifically adapted to develop the full efficiency of your engine. The grade of Polarine specified in the chart is specified by our Board of Lubricating Engineers, who know the design and construction of your car.

Put sugar, lard and salt in a mixing bowl, put the cooked mealy potatoes in hot and mash all together; stir in flour and add the quart of boiling water slowly, stirring until smooth; when cool or lukewarm add 1-2 cake of Yeast Foam. This is sufficient yeast for warm weather. In cold weather use a whole yeast cake. Make this at noon and let stand until morning. Then stir thick with flour, let get light, and then stir stiff with flour and knead well for ten or fifteen minutes, or until the dough does not stick to the board. Let rise again, then make into four bar loaves, let rise again until double in size; put in hot oven to bake, bake one hour, reducing heat of oven to finish baking. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

These organizations are now quite generally known as Credit Service Exchanges. Credit Exchanges are formed so that the Credit Grantor* may have a central fountain or clearing house from which to secure information on prospective customers. As Credit is the Foundation of Business So is Character the Foundation of Credit A man’s credit is his greatest asset. His very standing in his com­ munity as a citizen, and^hat of his wife and children in their circle of friends, is affected by theTfianner in which he pays his bills. . What is meant by the term "credit?” It means goods sold to or serv­ ice rendered to a customer with the understanding that payment is to be made within thirty days. ’ i The retail merchants and professional men are not in the banking business. When they give a customer credit, they are in fact lending him just so much capital. They do not expect to have the account carried too long, and do not want to charge interest. If they depended on the interest they would be bankers, and not merchants or profession­ al men. Commercial Credit is the name of that trust which is reposed in men because of their’character and resources. Credit is based on char­ acter, and this was practiced thousands of years ago by the Chinese. In business it is an accommodation, a privilege extended ohly to those who are entitled to it. "One of the most valuable services to modern buainew is that ren­ dered by credit men’s associations. It is their primary purpose to re­ duce as far as possible business losses due to dishonesty, to see that con­ fidence is placed with those who deserve it and that it ia not placed with those who for good reasons {io not deserve it.” "It is important not only to the parties directly concerned, but io business at large that credit be withheld from those who do not deserve it. But it is equally important that it be granted where it is requested fairly and with honest intentions.” The young couple starting a home of their own, the parents who Wish to cultivate a love of beautiful things in their children—all these are indebted to the credit account, for in many cases, they would lose courage before attaining their desires, if it were not for the immeasureable advantage that credit gives them. This record is not only spread before the eyes of all business men of your home city; but should you take up your abode in another city and apply for credit there, you will find that your record has preceded you, as this exchange is affiliated, with the Retail Credit Men’s National Association. The Desire of the 83 Members of Hastings Credit Exchange whose names appear below Is not to make credit harder for the honest man, but to protect him against the burden of those who seek to impose on or defraud the business men.

Most of u* are familiar with the prosperous appearance of the well man­ aged farm, and the value of farm land and the kind of farm building* found in localities where dairying is firmly eitablithed, furnishes conclusive proof. A financial survey wa* recently made of six towns, ranging in population from 350 to 5,000, located in Motion* where dairying is well developed. Bank deposit* totaled $17,325,140 or $1,288.78 per capita. A similar survey made in a group of six town* of about the same popula­ tion, in a locality where dairying was considered of 'little importance, but where soil and climate conditions were equally good, found bank deposit* totaling $10,360,280 or $478.09 per capita. Bank deposits constitute positive evidence of prosperity. The dairy farmer is not dependent upon revenue received once a year when different crop* are harvested and sold, but has a steady, permanent, monthly income, dependent upon the number of cow* he keep*,.the quality of these cows, the care theM cows get, and the market value of the product. The most important factor* affecting the size of thi* monthly income, are entirely within his control.

We say that Union Bonds are 100 per cent safe, because that is literally true. Such safety means that you can put your surplus funds into Union Bonds, and then cease to trouble your mind about them. It means that your money is safe,—that you know it is safe,—and that you need never have a moment’s worry about that safety. It means that every six months, the sub­ stantial return which your money earns, ia paid to you promptly and conveniently. It means that your principal is paid on the day it is due. Furthermore, you can select a bond that falls due at the time best suited to your requirements. Learn all the facta about Union Bonds, and Union's 100 per cent safety.

The; Provision for the establishment of the Federal government supplies each of so-ealled permanent organisation of the these intermediate credit banka with1 twelve Federal land banka is made by a capital of not to exceed *5,000,000.■ providing that three out of tho seven These intermediate credit banka aro directors for each bank are to be elect1 cd by tho borrowers from the bank and other .financial institutions, and then fops director, who will bo tho president of lhe board, will bo chosen from three persons who have received tho highest under conditions nomination vote for this position by These intermediate credit banks may issue debentures which will have back of them the farmers' notes which the banks have taken. The idea is that those debentures may be sold to people who wish a safe investment. They are exempt from taxation, just as the bonds issued by the Federal land banks aro exempt. The interest charged by the intermediate credit banks may not ex­ ceed by more than one per cent tho in­ terest paid or the debentures iscued, Heretofore lhe maximum amount which might be loaned to any individ­ ual by tho Federal land banks has boon *10,000. This has boon increased to *25,000. Also tho purpose for whleh mortgage loans mar be made has 'been broadened to ineludo the repayment of any existing indebtedness. The Federal Rcservo Aet is amended by broadening the definition of what is called agricultural paper, making it in­ clude the grading nnd processing of agricultural products by co-operative marketing associations. Heretofore the Federal Reserve Banks have not been permitted to discount agricultural pa-! per for a longer period than six months.; Tliis period has boon increuod to nine months. A large number of state banks aro not now members of tho Federal Re­ serve System, somo of them because their capital is not largo enough to meet the requirements of the law. An amendment to the Federal Reserve Act is carried in this bill designed to en­ courage small banks to join the system. A bank which has captal equal only to sixty per cent of tho capital required of national banks may now bo admit­ ted, if within a reasonable time the capital will ho increased to correspond with the capital required of national lutuks. The life of the War Finance Corpo­ ration is extended up to February 29, 1924, the expectation being that by that dnto tho new credit facilities pro­ vided for under thia agricultural cred­ its act wiU bo sufficient to meet the needs. This Agricultural Credits Act of 1923 is one of the most Important acts passed by tho last Congress. It marks an •arncst effort to provide tho farmer with the sort of credit ho must have o carry on efficiently. It is not class cgislntion. Tho results will bo helpid to business in general, because tho -•ffoet will bo to stabilize agricultural >roduetion and marketing.

Local friends of the Salvation Army plan to raise *l.'mo in this county a< their part toward the general relief and institutional work in the state. Their plan ought to sueeceil. Tho Salvation Army docs n very real nnd tangible good work. It reaehca down io thtw who nro not rem-hed, as n rule, by any other agency. It brings to those who have fallen by life's wayside a word nt cheer nnd hope and helping hand. It believes that n " Man may be down but that he ia never Out." It get* a long way toward proving the substance of that lalii-f by making it good. • Thousands of men und women have born caught from the very verge of the abyss of huprlcMnr** and snatched book to lives of self-respect ami hope and hpppiness by the agency of the Salvation Army. No agency in all the world ia more micee.«i>ful in its great mission of reclaiming human callage. That is work worth while, h i> work such as the Master did while ho was on earth showing by His example, how man ean, if hv will, find peace and a new nnd better life. It is worth our support. Perhaps the average fuiri feels he can’t do very much directly. At least he can chip in generously to help those who nro doing it, and thus In­ can help make their work easier nnd more successful. To Ihnt small extent, surely, he can hnve u part in it. This is the appeal of tho Salvation Army to those of all creeds who believe that tho Army in lining good work that needs to Ire done nnd who are in n jafsition to help finance that work if they foci they can’t otherwise share in it. Economically we know that the ’ more the Salvation Army docs,'' the less taxes we pay.

How?—Waterpower! 9 For most of Michigan’s cities and towns, there is not enough waterpower within close reach to care for their local needs. Consumers Power Company has harnessed the w aterpow er of Michigan’■ eleven mightiest rivers—connected them all into a 1300-mile super­ power ey*em reaching 125 cities and towns served—and is backing every community with a statewide power supply. During this winter—when coal supplies have been low over the nation—these mighty power plants have heen bringing the power of northern rivers to you—day and night without fail. 4 In 1922 alone—these waterpower plants saved for Michigan the equivalent of 700,000 tons ci coal, which would have been required to produce the same power in private plants. Thar is lour and onehalf tons saved for every heme we serve! And 14j000 railroad cars released for ocher needs of the people by this saving of cool! Work is now under way on the new 12,­ 000 horsepower Alcona Dam on the Au Sable river —and plans are going forward for another 18,000 ‘ horse-power dam on the Manistee river. These develop, menu are made necessary by the prosperous growth of yow community and your state—and when completed, will ' an additional saving ol 175,000 tons of coal for Michigan. That is Consumers Power service—saving coal for you and assuring you of dependable, con­ tinuous power and light to back your town—your home—your job—summer and winter.

More than this, it is made in a mill that runs continuously, day and night, year after year. As our her children in Flint machinery is all operated by water power, you can readily see the per* feet conditions under which FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR is pro­ duced. It is reasonable to suppose that after having made this high grade product for about 45 years and always kept improving it and adding to it with experience that we are able to furnish you a flour that is superior in every way to other flours that claim to be just as good. Do not be deceived—there are none so good as FRENCH'S WHITE bake with it one time you find it just like other times. Nearly every* • body is using it.

I]lDUT]T)n| Raise a Crop in 1923 on I* H K III I K \ l which you can have a guarJ JlllllllIllDl onteed price and market We wish to thank our farmer friends for the large acreage of pickles raised in Barry Co. in the past two seasons and for the nice acreage secured so far. This year we are contracting with the farmers in the vicinity of Nash­ ville, Delton, Freeport and Hastings for pickles, cauliflower, dill weed, cab­ bage and pickling onions. We are taking on a limited acreage at each salting station for 1923 sea­ son. The aim of every farmer should be to get as large a yield of whatever crop he raises as possible, be it cprn, potatoes or one of our crops, the larger the yield the less the cost unit per bushel in producing the crop. Then, after your crop is raised your worry is: What shall we receive or where will our market be, in order to sell to raise montey for running expenses which we all have? By putting out a patch of ground to pickles you can have a guaranteed price and market and have your cash in nearly twelve weeks from the time you plant with seed furnished free. While we have paid some of our growers over $300 per acre in the past, your yields will depend largely on the amount of plant food in your soil and the methods which you use in pro­ ducing the crop. Our representative, S. W. Vollink, who is soliciting acreage, will gladly jive you any mroi information desired. Contracts can also be secured at the folmve lowing places: — Delton—Delton State Bank.

At thin season when the frost has left the soil there is considerable heaving of the stools of wheat caused by the frost, and as the moisture leaves the soil cracks carying from 1-4 to 1-2 inches in width and often several inches deep, and many of the wheat roots are exposed in these cracks. Theq comes the drying winds and heat of spring days and the soil about these cracks is rapidly dried out and the wheat roots suffer accordingly. The use of the Oliver Dunham Culti-Packer packs the soil down around these exposed roots and holds the moist­ ure in the soil for a much longer period—^hus increasing the wheat yield. ; ' Special and Important Features of the Oliver Dunham Culti-Packer • Among the many special and important features of our Culti-Packer these below ars-a few of the most noteworthy and feature^ that belong exclusively to the Oliver-Dunham. ONE-PIECE WHEELS The wheels are 4 inches wide. All except the quick detachable wheels are cast in one piece of semi-steel with no seems or joints. 21 fifteen-inch wheels on the front gang, 22 twelve-inch wheels on the Year. ' QUICK DETACHABLE WHEELS For straddling corn or other rowed crops there are wheels specially made for quick re­ moval from the axle by loosening two bolts. The remaining wheels can then be spread, mak­ ing a gap in the center. Bronze Bearings—The bearing in Oliver machines is solid bronce like that used in high grade machinery. The end of the axle is lathe-turned perfectly round, and grease is sup­ plied to the axle bearing through grease cup. . Oliver machines have exceptionally'easy draft, because of these bearings. To insure a continued supply of lubricant the Oliver rollers are fitted with hard grease cups on the bearings. Bearings should be kept free from dust and sand, and well'lubricated. To protect the bearings against dirt a cast iron cap is fastened over the outer end of each axle, protecting the entire bearing. , . Goodyear Bros. Hardware Company HASTINGS. MICH.

GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM:— Whosoever therefore diall humble him- QUESTIONS — SAVE FOR YOUR KIDDIES Teach your children from the start that “Saving" means “Thrift,’’ and “Success,’* and "Plenty,” Such a habit formed in childhood brings satisfac­ tion and comfort, not only in old age but all through life. Leading educators tell ub that as you train children during the first six years of their lives so they will be through life. If this is true, and we believe it is, then how important it is that our children—the men and women of “To­ morrow”—are taught the great habit of "Thrift” and "Saving" so that later in life when they shall be left upon their own resources they will KNOW HOW to economize, KNOW HOW to lay away a few dollars, KNOW HOW to take care of themselves and not come to want. Hundreds of young men and women are having a hard time to get “Anywh*eres,“ because they do not KNOW HOW to lay away part of what they earn each week.

Choose Your Gasoline with Great Care You can influence the deprecia­ tion of your car investment by using right or wrong gasoline. You m<y point with pride to a speedometer that shows 80, 40 or 50 thousand miles or you may wear out a car every year. You may have a smooth purring motor or a rattle - trap ready for the scrap heap. The influencing factor is the gasoline. Buy Red Crown TheHlgh-Grade Gasoline made, sold and guaranteed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Red Crown is made to fit .your car. It has a perfect chain of boiling point fractions—adjusted so as to produce instant starting Winter or Summer. A quick, snappy pickup.

VICKERY, & Ford Cars Are Selling Fast During the past several months we have been advis­ ing the early placing of orders for Ford Cars—and it has been good advice. Every month (Juring the winter (quiet) season, we have sold more than our allotment of cars and had it not been that we had opportunity to secure a few cars from other dealers we could not have filled our orders. We no longer look for spring—it is here, and in a few days you will want to drive—and with every car taken almost as soon as it arrives some one is sure to have to wait when the usual spring rush for cars gets fully under way. 1 . We receive only a limited number each month and no chance of getting any extras at this time of year, so if you have any desire to have a new Ford this spring we urge you to place your order now or else prepare to be a long time on the "waiting list."

This means minimum resistance to motion, a cool motor and maximum power. Polarine spreads quickly over the bearing surfaces. It leaves no dry spots.

That, in terse simple terms, expresses the ideals which have made the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) big. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is big because it is called upon to render a big service. Its financial statement deals in big figures because, it does an enor­ mous volume of business in a multipli­ city of products entering innumerable fields of industry. Because the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) manufactures a great number of useful products from a single basic material, it is able to cut the manufactur­ ing cost of each item in a way that accrues to the benefit and financial advantage of the consumer whether he buys a quart or a carload. o need to say I wish I dared How often have you heard the expression, "I can’t drink,coffee; it doesn't agree with tnel” Yet there is en undeniable satisfaction in having a hot drink with meals.

FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR The Flour That Makes the Best Bread You can’t make good bread from poor flour, so your bread can never be any better than the flour from which it ia made. If you are using flour that b only run through three or four sets of rolls, such aa is made in ordinary mills, you are not getting the best flour for your money. Such flour is not made right, because it is rushed through the rolls so rapidly that it ia impossible to bring it down to a smooth even granulation. There will be large “chunks” and small particles; it will not absorb the yeast and liquid evenly and it cannot bake evenly. There is nothing that is more indigestible than poor, heavy bread. There is nothing more healthful and appetising than GOOD BREAD. You can be assured of good bakings every time you use FRENCH'S You pay no more for FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR than you do for ordinary flour. By owning our own mill, water power a_a. lighting plant; by running 24 hour* a day, year in and year out, thereby cutting our “general expense” in two; by having the latest and best better, put it through 17 sets of rolls, and sell it to you at the same price as ordinary flour; which is only put through from three to five sets of rolls. You have probably made up your mind that “soma time” you are going to try FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR, if you ire not now using it Why not commence Now? WHY NOT ORDER A SACK TODAY?

We dean our grain better, and we put it through 17 sets of roll* before it ia finished and sacked. � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/19/450/HastingsBanner_1923-04-18.pdf e68ab4ce8c0568712209fd46210b4d08 PDF Text Text THE HASTINGS BANNER ’-SEVENTH YEAR ' COMMITTEE NAMED TO PUR OHASE THE DEMONSTEA­ .

It Pays to Play Fair with Your Home Town Some merchants think that the leu said about mail order buying the better. “Jugt ignore it,” they say; “act as if there were no such thing.'* That seems about as foolish to us as the story that the ostrich buries its head in the sand when frightened and no longer seeing its enemy, considers itself safe. We don't intend to play ostrich. Our .eyes are wide open. A wrong exists and we feel it is up to us to face it. Playing fair is merely giving a square deal all around, playing fair is living up to the golden rule. If a business man plays fair with his trade, if he truly lives up to his responsibilities and gives the best service he knows how, play­ ing fair with him in return means giving him an equal chance—and it isn’t always done. Going into a local store for goods wanted right away and charging them and at the same time sending away a money order to a mail or­ der house as cash in advance on other goods isn’t playing fair; it is giving the home town a stab in the back. Honest competition is a mighty good thing; the more the merrier. But we object when hav­ ing done our part we don’t get a chance to com­ pete, to show what we can do. Every buyer owes hia local tradesman a square chance to make good, no more, no less. It is up to the dealers after that chance has been given. All we ask of those who read this is that they see both sides of the case. We are here to give a service no outsider can possibly render. We are here to make good by pleasing. We ask no special favors. We will stand *r fall on our merits.

East Side Grocery WALLACE PHONE *144 ’ BUMFORD Union Bonds a Business Necessity Union first mortgage real estate bonds' are a necessity of modern business. Many mortgages now-a-days run to more than $100,000-. Mortgages of millions of dollars on a single piece of real estate, such as mam­ moth office building, or great apartment building are not un­ common. There are very few people, or finan­ cial institutions, in a position to purchase one of these large mortgages in its entirety. This makes tho first mortgage bond a modern business necessity. In the case of the Union Mortgage Company, these bonds are issued into denominations of $100, $500, and $1,000. Union Bonds are safeguarded so completely that they are said with literal truth to be 100% safe. Thd coupon wilf bring you full informa­ tion. Please send it today. Open Monday evenings, 6 to 8 p. m.

It is a conveni­ ence. As a convenience it is comparable to a checking ac­ count at the bank, it enables one to keep an account of ex­ penditures; it enables one to shop without carrying around a large sum of money; it enables one to take advantage of special offerings which one would oftentimes have toforego if it were necessary to pay cash, and it affords one a cer­ tain prestige not otherwise to be had.

Mra E WEEKS TO DECORATION DAY The greatest of your assets, business or personal, is your credit, yet you cannot lock it in a vault nor insure it against loss. It is part of you. You created it and you may destroy it. One obligation wantonly disregarded; one statement proven false, and the fabric crumbles. Built in a lifetime, it may vanish in a day. The most valuable of your assets, it is yours only so long as you carefully con­ serve it. How Is Your Credit? This is the first question which comes into the mind of any merchant when you buy goods and say, “Charge it.” Your reputation as a man and citizen depends upon the an­ swer. Your banker, your grocer, your employer, your lodge, your business associates and your friends—every one with whom you come in contact, accept or reject you largely as you pay your bills. For the purpose of answering this question Eighty-four merchants and professional men of Hastings have formed and are maintaining the Hastings Credit Exchange. To this Bureau each month is reported the pacing habits of all the accounts the various members have on their books. ESSSSESS ful MONUMENT or Marker IRONSIDE,.BROS, oranw (ppi, . Pay as Agreed If you are paying as agreed, your record is there for your benefit, and the information of all members. If you are delinquent, slow pay, or an undesirable cus­ tomer for other reasons, your record is there just the same FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MERCHANTS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN OF THIS CITY, AND ANY OTHER CITY TO WHICH YOU MAY. MOVE. Every month your credit standing is revised. If you are not keeping your bills paid up as agreed, your record reflects this condition immediately and you are jeopardiz­ ing your reputation for integrity and fair dealing.

Cutting the Costs HE FARMERS of the 10 Middle Western States served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are fast becoming the most import­ ant consumers of gasoline. * T The gasoline tractor ban vastly lowered the coat of crop production and the motor truck ha* come to render a similar service by lowering the coat of de­ livery. It enables the fanner to deliver bis products to nearby cities when the market is advantageous. To Indicate how motor truck farm haulage Is in­ creasing, It is Interesting to note that — Farm products hauled by motor transport in 1921 equaled 134,400,000 tons. Sixty-eight hundred bead of bog* — valued at H00,000 — were delivered in one day from 500 ' motor truck* to tbe Stock Yards at Indianapolis, Indiana. St. Joseph, Missouri — receives about 8500 bead of cattle daily by motor truck. • Detroit, Michigan—ia supplied daily with 1>,57O gal­ lons of milk by the same method of transportation, The figures above art just a few high spots picked at random from an analysis of C|cta published by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce.. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has long realised that motor power meant increased produc­ tion of foods, greater profit to the farmer and lower living costs to the consumer. Therefore, lo building up it* vast network of dis­ tribution this Company ba* kept constantly' in mind tbe public demands from-farming centers jn locating its bulk storage depots for gasoline and lubricating oils. In thia way the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been able to anticipate the farmers* need* ia marketing hi* products from farm to city. the motor truck driver always facia a dependable supply of fuel aad lubricants convenient to his need. 10 Middle Western states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).

Mis* Alien Whetstone Firestone Will Not Increase Prices on Solid and Pneumatic Truck Tires Until May 1st Never has Firestone been so well situated to give operators the greatest measure of Cushion, Traction and Mile­ age at the lowest cost. Today, economical manufacturing and distribution are showing the fullest re­ sults. Our favorable purchases of rubber, in advance of the 160% increase brought about by the British Crude Rubber Re­ striction Act, aid further in maintaining the old price levels. Whatever the Truck Service—the Firestone Dealer Has the Right Tire Firestone developments of the past tw o years have made pace for the industry and set new records in sure, economical performance. Five tires—the Heavy Duty Cushion, the Truck Type Cord, the Maxi-Cushion, the Giant Solid and the High Type—cover the deeds of motor haulage in all its forms. Each has a distinct work which it does best. Each possesses a definite and special value for the operator. Truck owners, using pneumatic tires, will find the answer to every demand of rapid, economical transportation in the Firestone' Truck Type Cords with the tread that increases carrying capacity and improves traction, and the powerful gum-dipped carcass construction. £<f the Firestone Service Dealers Keep Your Tracks Moving There are 800 Firestone Service Deal­ ers, located in the principal trucking centers, fitted by natural ability and a thorough knowledge of trucking, to help you choose the right tira for-your roads, loads and service.

Put sugar, lard and salt in a mixing bowl, put the cooked mealy potatoes In hot and mash all together ; stir in flour and add the quart pf boiling water slowly, stirring until smooth; when cool or lukewarm add 1-2 cake of Yeast Foam. This is sufficient yeast for warm weather. In cold weather use a whole yeast cake. Make this at noon and let stand until morning. Then stir thick with flour, let get light, and then stir stiff with flour and knead well for ten or fifteen minutes, or until the dough does not stick to the board. Let rise again, then make into four bar loaves, let rise again until double in size; put in hot oven to bake, bake one hour, reducing heat of oven to finish baking. ’ PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

The Moat Important Feature of the Home Frankly speaking, the heating plant is the most important feature of the home. Without it home ia not “Jfome Sweet Home,” which prompts us to say, “What’s home without a Homer." The Warm Air Furnace is perhaps the most talked-of system of heating. Circulating warm air is by far the healthiest mode of heating that can be installed in any home or building. However, a Warm Air Furnace must be in­ stalled properly if it is to give efficient service. Many things enter into the proper installation of a heating plant. The most important ia the main unit or furnace itself, which should be located centrally in the basement Ample elevation for the warm air pipes will warrant econpmical operation an'd free air passage. Warm air has a hatuTal tendency to rise and does not lbw freely in horizontal pipes. This depends, of course, upon the height of the basement The warm air pipes should be as short as possible, which tends to deliver the warm air to the living rooms immediately, thereby eliminating any excess amount of heat which might radiate into the basement. Your greatest assurance when purchasing a Warm Air Furnace Should lie in the ability to properly install.

The company has Increased its cash surplus at the end of each year, having total as­ sets April 22 of over $258,000. In 1922 the company made a state record, handling automobile insurance to the extent of >671,227.09. The company has paid since organization over 12,000 claims, amounting to over $1,325,000. The liability claims of the company are looked after by an experienced attorney at the home office and experi­ enced investigators ^ook after the policy holders* wel­ fare. An agent or attorney is employed in practically every county seat in the state. For eight seasons we have given our policy holders protection, no liability claim exceeding the size of the policy. When such men as ex-Governor Rich, the late Gov­ ernor Warner and many of the leading circuit judges, merchapts, bankers and farmers of the state keep in­ sured with this company, would it not be well for you to insure before it is too late? The cost for fire, theft and liability on a Buick car is only $11.10, and collision . is written for a. small additional cost. - SEE OUR LOCAL AGENT, GEO. E.

When you buy 10 gallons of gasoline, in reality you are buying 150 miles of ser­ vice, if you get 15 miles to the gallon. Gasoline becomes a propelling force only when you cause it to vaporize and mix it with air. The service which you receive is in exact ratio to the manner in which the gasoline vaporizes.

Grape-Nuts is a highly nutritious food in the form of crisp, golden granules. It contains the full nutri­ ment of wheat and barley, including vitamin-B and mineral elements re­ quired for building sturdy health. These elements are often lacking in the ordinary diet, chiefly through “over-refinement” in the prepara­ tion of food. No other food is so thoroughly baked as Grape-Nuts. More than 20hours are consumed in the baking process which makes Grape-Nuts easy to digest, and also develops a natural sweetness from the grains themselves. The form and crispness of Grape­ Nuts invite thorough mastication—a decided advantage because this not onlyprovidcspropcr exercise for the teeth, but makes for good digestion. Every housewife in the Land should take advantage of this extra­ ordinary opportunity to earn the tidy sum of $50.00 by a little pleas­ ant and educational effort in her own home. Also the fair and equal chance to secure one of the liberal awards to be made by Good House­ keeping Institute. Moreover, there’s the greater knowledge of the value of Grape­ Nuts, not only as a delicious break­ fast cereal, but in the preparation of a variety of appetizing dishes that add to the health and pleasure of the whole family.

' From the letter of Mr. Glen P. Cowan, Vice-President, and the audits and appraisals, we summarize us follows: The Arctic Ice Cream Company was incorporated ***** a capital of J25.OOO. It now has outstanding 3500,000 Preferred Stock (this issue) and 3844,250 Com­ mon Stock. The Company has paid dividends regularly on ita Common Stock since 1915. Through its condensing plants its supply of raw materials is assured and its manu. factoring plants are equipped to produce and deliver ice cream at minimum cost. BlGtotyr Equity: I he net assets of the Company as shown by the books, show a value of $304.26 for each share of Pre*•%®u Stock outstanding. Using the appraisal figures of the land, buildings and equipment, the net assets indi­ cate a value of over 3433 per share. Earnings: For three years ending December 31, 1922, net earnings, after deducting taxes and heavy depreciation charges, have averaged over2?j' times the dividend requirements. It is expected that the use of the capital 'from the sale of this additional stock, will increase,the earnings materially. Restrictions: This issue is amply protected by requiring the Company to maintain ample net assets and net quick assets and by restricting the issuance of additional Pre­ ferred Stock and by restricting the payment of dividends to holders of Common Stock. Retirement Fund: The Company is required to re­ tire not less than $30,000 of the outstanding Preferred Stock annually and must deposit with the Registrar, one-twelfth of this amount each month, as a sinking fund for the purchase and redemption of stock at a price not to exceed 3110 and accrued dividends.

Ordi­ nary grain feeds and home mixed rations kill countless chicks every year. How often you hear the expression "I had bad luck with my chicks. So many of them died.” In most cases the trouble is in the starting feed. Make up your mind to save more baby chicks. Purina Chicken Chowder and Purina Baby Chick Chow fill every requirement of a perfect feed for baby chicks. With Purina Poultry Chows you can.give your chicks a double start. Double development or money back is the guarantee if, when fed as directed, these two Chows do not produce double growth over ordinary grain feeds the first six weeks. Order these Chows now before your chicks become stunted for lack of proper nourishment. McLRAVY & SON tj--of- __ «<■« naaungfi, mien. PURINA BAIY �trust ate* in kin; and ha shall bring W18DAY.

But an.hour at the wheel in traffic and on rough roads, through heavy going and up hills, will open your eyes. First you’ll sense the ease with which the steering wheel answers your touch.. The new steering mechanism does that. Then you’ll note a hair-trigger response to the throttle that, while instant, is also per­ fectly smooth. The motor and carburetor improvements account for that. , And you’ll find, too, a great wealth of vig­ orous power that swings you easily and bouyantly up stiff gradients. Beside, these features there are such bet­ terments as the tubular-type, cross-member frame construction; the new clutch; the great brakes; and a score of others you must be sure to inspect.

No S House-Cleaning Necessities JUST SUPPOSE That you arc like the man who said, "I do not need a Will.” He had sons and daughters just grown up, making their peak demands on his bounty. ’ When he died the estate was distributed in a • year, as required by law. . In order to make the division, property was sacrificed. Provision might have been made, by will, avoiding sacri­ fice and keeping it intact, with income to the widow for life. But no, the daughters claimed their share forth­ with as often happens. They had the law on their side. Everybody was made unhappy. The written instruction in a Will can harmonize all such differences.

The Most Important Feature of the Home z Frankly speaking, the heating plant is the mbit important feature of tbe home. Without it home la not "Home Sweat Some," which prompts ua to say, ' TV hat’s home without a Homer.” The Warm Air Furnace is perhaps the most talked-of system of heating. Circulating warm air ia by far the healthiest mode of heating that can be installed in any home or building. However, a Warm Air Furnace must be in­ stalled properly if it is to giv^ efficient service. Many things enter into the proper installation of a beating plant. The moat important la the main unit or furnace itself, which should be located centrally In the basement. Ample elevation for the warm air pipes will warrant economical operation and free air passage. Wann air has a natural tendency to rise and does not flow freely in horiaohul pipes. This depends, of course, upon the height of the basement The warm air pipes should be as short as possible,'which tends to deliver the warm air to the living rooms immediately, thereby eliminating any excess amount of heat which might radiate into tbe basement Your greatest assurance when purchasing a Warm Air Furnace should lie in the abiiity*to properly install. Homer Engineers aje all the very best You will make no mistake in calling on our representative in ypw town.

This is partic­ ularly true of the people who have constantly increasing bank balances. A dependable bank is a necessity in every growing center, because it pro­ vides a clearing house for funds which are put to work in the interests of local business and farming enterprises. There is no one worth while in this community who does not want to add both to his own prosperity and to,the public good. Therefore every pro­ gressive person should have a bank account? for this is the first thing to do to accomplish these, ends. We are anxious to see this city and surrounding community prosper. We are anxious to see each individual in it prosper. Building up a good bank balance and wisely investing that money means future prosperity for you and this community.

The Value of Personal Contact PERSONAL contact is essential to the ■3 growth ot complete understanding. When business operation's 'and business organ irations were small the employer could know his employees personally snd the merchant could know his customers. All had the advantage . that comes from the intimacy of close, personal acquaintanceship. Misunderstandings were easily adjusted. Every man knew every other man as a citizen and aa a friend, and there was no sus­ picion of motives. • r>H Today, when big enterprise is the order of business; when large accumulations of capital are essential to the accompliahment of under­ takings of real value to the public, the several groups are denied the advantage of thia per­ sonal contact. Recognizing this handicap, the management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has es­ tablished a system of direct personal contact with the great body of employees and through them, with the public. • The management maintains dose, personal rela­ tions with the employees through the Depart­ ment of Industrial Relation*, where the cmployer and employee get together on common ground to discuss and settle, in friendly confer­ ence, questions of mutual interest. To promote still closer rdstionship, the Board of Directors, as a body, make frequent visits to refineries and to the field, where tncy meet and confer with the great body of employees. The value of this personal contact is reflected in the hartoonious relations which exist between the Company and the earnest, loy-M, hard­ working employees, who thriftily invest their savings in the Company’s business 'and who have added intereat in seeing that the Com­ pany’s customers get efficient service.

Just plain ig­ norance and neglect is the cause of the loss of so much fruit. There are many who doubtless do not know why their fruit trees, vinca and bushes do not produce. There are others who do know and take no steps to improve the conditions. The season of fruit bloom is at hand and in a few tjsys the trees will be a' mass of beauty.-r-Than is the vita! period.—Millions of buds Mid blossoms will be destroyed by destructive little IniecU and the fruit crop lost or badly damaged unless these insects are killed; Read the next column of this ad and learn how to do it. ‘J The insects that do the great damage to fruit during the blooming period are the "eating” insect., and scientists tell u.—and experience has proven—that SOLUABLE SULPHUR COMPOUND POWDERED ARSENATE OF LEAD PARIS GREEN AND BORDEAUX MIXTURE WILL EFFECTUALLY DESTROY THESE PESTS AND SAVE THE FRUIT Just a Word About These Spraying Materials Barry county people, and especially our regular customers, will appreciate the fact that this store haa been the leading and most progressive drug store in Barry county and when spraying materials were first advocated by agriculturists we informed ourselves and placed a stock of the best spray­ ing solutions and powder that could be obtained.

They do not charge against the motor oil such matters as scored cylinders—overheating—noisy gears— too much carbon—too much exhaust smoke—too high consumption of gas. Yet the right grade of Polarine—indicated in the chart—frequently corrects all these troubles. Polarine means economy in operation,' as well as added flexibility and powfel. . The reason why Polarine is good, begins with fundamentals. Polarine is made from selected crudes—high in lubricating value. Polarine is manufactured in modem refineries.

There­ fore we are urging everyone to give us an idea of their requirements so that we can as­ sure them prompt harvest-time delivery. Don’t take a chance and wait until the last min­ ute to get your twine. You may be forced to buy some low-grade twine that will result in loss of time and grain. There is very little difference in price between the best and the poorest twine — but don’t you forget it, the difference in qualify is just as great as it ever was. The twines we carry are abTree of lumps and thin spots as they can be. Poor twine has its usual irregulaxt ties. The,'only kind of twine that pays is the one that binds the grain securely, and is free frbm breakage, snarling and slippage. ■ Come over to the elevator n^xt time you are in town.

It is the point of contact between the Com­ pany and the motoring public. In locating these stations, extreme care is taken to see that they are so placed as to meet the convenience of the motorist. That tliis care is appreciated is made manifest by the increasing demand for extension of these facilities. to Grand Rapid* Sunday and brought Mr*.

Like Mother Used to Make, After a Little Practice You Will Be Able To Make Better Bread POTATO YEAST BREAD—Three medium alaed potatoes, 2 table­ spoons flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon lard, 1 tabfeapoon salt, 1 <| uart boiling water. Put sugar, lard and salt in a mixing bowl, put the cooked mealy potatoes in hot ^nd mash all together; stir in flour and add the quart of boiling water slowly, stirring until smooth; when cool or lukewarm add 1-2 cake of Yeast Foam. This is sufficient yeast for warm weather. In cold weather use a whole yeast cake. Make this at noon* and let stand until morning. Then stir thick with flour, let get light, and then stir stiff with flour and knead well-for ten or fifteen minutes, or until the dough does not stick to the board. ■ Let rise again, then make into four bar loaves, let rise again until double in size; put in hot oven to bake, bake one hour, reducing heat( of oven to finish baking. • PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. , ■ .

Toss on a floured board, pat and roll lightly to one-half inch in thickness. Shape with a biscuit cutter. Place on a buttered pan and bake in hot oven twelve to fifteen minutes. If baked in too slow an oven the gas will escape before it has done its work. FRENCH’S FLOUR “MAKES GOOD COOKS”.

Chemicals are faster than water, ajid do not damage household goods. Thia new modern method eliminates the old water bucket brigade which at its best was not very effective.

For many years visitors from other cities have been remarking upon the spirit of Detroit,—the thing which underlies the tremendous driving force, the inexhaust­ ible energy, so characteristic of the men who are making this dty ever greater. There is today no lessening of that pace, —no weakening of the spirit of Ruccesi which is Detroit’s. There'is, if anything, a quickening noticeable in the city’s advancing strides. There ia%’ too, a solidifying of Detroit's prosperity. More and more, Detroit men and women are putting their money into bonds safeguarded by business and apart­ ment properties,—such as Union Bonds. Not only are Union Bonds notable far safety; they are equally noteworthy because they pay the investor a very worth-while return. Help to make Detroit still greater by putting your sur­ plus funds to work at higher intereat rates, in Union Bonds. .

Thestfoneand one-tudf billion miles of satisfactory service prove positively the outstanding merit of the Special-Six. ■ It is the strongest recommendation possible for dependable performance, economical maintenance andlonglife. It is strikingevidence of the high quality that is responsible for Studebaker Special-Six leadership in fine car sales. To call a car ‘‘special" doesn't make it special unless there is special merit to back up the name. The Studebaker Special-Six is special not only in name but in performance. One and one-half billion miles to its credit are pre of positive that it lives .up to its name. The name Studebaker is assurance of satisfaction.

FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR Is the Most Economical Flour the Housewife Can Use : It Stands Without An Equal for Quality j and J - “ b * • The Beat wheat for making flour is grown right here in Michigan. You can look the whole state over and you will not find another mill as fortunate­ ly situated as this toproduce the BEST FLOUR ECONOMICALLY and in LARGE QUANTITY. . . . / A large part of the wheat we use is grown in the vicinity of our mill. It is delivered to us WITHOUT ANY FREIGHT CHARGES, or extra , expense of any kind. We pay a BONUS for good wheat that tests over 60 lbs. to the bushel, and there are a great many farmers who have grown wheat especially for us for a good many years. Sb we get our raw material (good Michigan winter wheat) at a lower coat than do outside flouring mills '■ t who have to add freight charges on the wheat and on shipping flour back to the local markets to the cost of making flour. it coats practically aa much to run a mill 6 to 10 hours a day as it does to run 24 hours. In order to supply the demand for FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR we have to run obr big mill DAY AND NIGHT. This cuts our manufacturing costs to a minimum; guarantee the SMOOTHEST and most even QUALITY.,- arid enables you to buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY at the same price you have to pay for fldur of inferior quality.

Hoffman pf Baaflcld officiating. , And the tragedy of this is that a lot of good folks own these le**-th*n-average cown, and are trying to pay taxefe and live on the profits that their worse than worthless cows can never Make. Careless indifference on the part of the owner is the only reason why so many of these penalty exacting cows continue to exist. Hundreds of our patrons own this kind of cows. You doubtless own some unless yoil are absolutely sure that you don't. There was never a better time to sthrt replacing them. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN BANNBB WANT ADVB. PAY.

Wash fifty pounds of ordinary* family clothes per hour, the great­ est hourly capacity of any family washing machine in the world. I can save you more than half your time in the laundry if you en' gage me to do your washing. I wash so quickly that I eliminate the objectionable features of all other washers of having to fill in with other work (many tinies climbing the stairs) while wait­ ing for the. washer to clean your clothes. I wash your clothes in half the time. I handle your clothes .with double care. In dem­ onstrations every time ladies marvel at my speed and thorough­ ness, the like of which they have never seen before. Do not make the mistake arid pay money on a washer until you have me dem­ onstrate in your own home, thc privilege for'which I will be more than thankful. I am self-cleaning. I do not corrode.

As there appears to be a considerable rivalry and some misrepresentation among some of thc Washing-Machine men, I suggest we all-get together and make arrange­ ment! to hold a FREE PUBLIC CONTEST in which each and every Electric Family Washing .M aching'is pllowod to compete—None Barred—where each and every Machine is allowed to stand- upon‘its Merits and not upon misrepresentations of the other fellow. I am so confident as to my superiority from each and every angle of the washing game that I will guarantee to give $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) to some worthy charitable Institution or cause if such a con­ test can be arranged and held within the next sixty days. i If any washing machine men anywhere dispute my claims let them accept this challenge. .

The Planter of Many Purposes It t* like discussing the merits of a trusted friend to get experienced corn grower* talking about IN­ TERNATIONAL CORN PLANTERS. The accuracy with which they drop 2, 3 or 4 kernels to the hill, as desired, is only one of their commending features. The planter can be quickly adjusted to keep the boots level so that hills are evenly checked for cross cultivation. It can be used as a straight drill simply by pressing down a small foot pedal, or it can be set to drop full hills without the use of a check wire, by the addition of a simple power drop attachment. 4 No matter what kind of seed you want to plant, there is an International that will ’rio it the best way. For instance, the International No. 2 has been designed for the man who plants a variety of crops. Its range of widths and Mill distances makes No. 2 especially valuable to the truck farmer. There are other styles, suited to various planting purposes, ail giving unvarying satisfaction. With International corn planters goes a quick, responsive service equal to any emergency. We will gladly explain fully the different International com planters and the uses to which they are especially adapted. Come in and see us. EDMONDS ELEVATOR & IMPLEMENT CO. R.

Instead, Red Crown imparts a steady, steam-en­ gine-like pressure to the piston that sustains and follows through the length of the stroke. That explains both the smooth flow of rhythmic power and the abundance of sus­ tained pulling power. Red Crown often to the motorist The Utmost of Service It has all the intrinsic merit that science has been able to put into any gasoline. It is manufactured so that it will vaporize at just-the correct temperatures, to cause in­ stant starting — az quick, snappy get-away — a smooth, gliding ac­ celeration—tremendous power — racing speed if you want it — and most miles per gallon.

Your grocer is authorized by us to replace it if for any reason it fails to please you. No housewife can spend her time or labor to bet­ ter advantage than providing the family with good, wholesome, “home-made" bread, cakes, rolls, cookiesand pastries. She can in no other way provide such health­ ful, wholesome food for such small cost as she can from FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. There is nothing in the way of food that means so much to the family health as good, light, welt baked bread, rolls and biscuits. When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY you get a flour that is not made like other flours. We use the long system" of milling, other mills use the "short system. The "short system" is really just a "short cut” way of . making flour, the idea being to make it in the shortest pos­ sible time and without the more expensive equipment. It means crowding the grain through in the shortest possi­ ble time, which takes the life out of the wheat and affects the quality of the flour. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR IS THE BEST FLOUR MADE, AND THE BEST IS NONE TOO GOOD FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. ORDER A SACK TODAY FROM YOUR GROCER OR ELEVATOR MAN.

It has no desire to achieve a monop­ oly. believing that, because of its carefully worked out plan of organization, its admitted efficiency in every department and its carefully trained, hard­ working, loyal body of employees, it has no need for arbitrary control to meet any competitive con­ dition which may arise.

The source of supply of raw material is too scattered and it^ value is too great for any one company to get on effective control. Without such control jnonopoly is impoesible. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is the largest single factor in |he oil business of the Middle Wfest Yet, the principal source of its crude oil supply is in the hands of others. Its competitors have twice as many service stations as it has, and about an equal number of bulk stations, while their combined refining capacity ia more than five times that of tbo Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana). To indicate the futility of attempting to monopolize the oil industry it is only necessary to quote the following paragraphs from tho New York journal of Commerce: ■ During 1921 there were organized 936 ■ new oil companies, with a total capital­ ization of $1,255,675,000 and During 1922, 784 new oil companies were organized with a capitalization of $1, 639,693,000. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is growing as. the need for its products and service grows. It is ambitious, not to secure a monopoly of the oil busi­ ness, but, to maintain a steady, healthy growth, by rendering the greatest service possible lo thirty million people in tho Middle West.

Change your motor oil every 500 miles for greater economy. Because Polarine is perfect in body it maintains tbe piston seal per­ fectly. This means that the grade of Polarine which our engineering staff has recommended for your truck will correctly lubricate your machine, insure its satisfactory performance under all working mn. ditions, prevent overheating of cylinders with the resulting radiator troubles.

Millions have learned by experience that to own and operate a Ford is not an extravagance; they have learned that the many pleasures derived from a Ford takes the place of other pleasures, and the saving thus made often pays for the car and its maintenance. ’ It waa at the New York automobile show, January 1822, that tho first Gray ear waa displayed at tho Hotel Com­ modore. Il waa a fiend made job, and was cagvsiy-iooked over by the public bccaneebf the interest in what Freak . fopacfiy of tho Ford E, intendod to produee; .then, January 1W3, to to Mr. Klingensmith and I allow a Gray ear to go .«>» They demanded that the car be a finished product before it got into tho hands of the public. They made it an inviolable rule that they nnd uot the public ahouldmakc the ex[x-ritnent with the new rar. Bo over a period of three or four months, three Gray cars were run continuously twen­ ty-four hours a day, with three sets of drivers working lit three shifts of eight hours each. By Jtino they were satis­ fied that the ear met nil expectations and would perform aatisfactorily in the hands of tho puHie, nnd production was begun. The Gray haa just celebrated its first anniversary, and la thousands of orders behind, and probably, will not bo able to fill nnrwhcra near all the orders .that will bo placed for Grey cars this year through their dealer organization. The reason for this tremendous sueeoea of Gray is that the car-has come into a Hold hitherto untood.cd by giving the public what it has wanted, and long waited for, a light weight,' quality automobile at a very moderate price. This feat was poaaiblo through thc^fortunate combination of two men arthe head of Gray who represented both quantity and quality production. Children'll Day at the Barr ch u reh Bunday.

Special classes are being organized every week and if you can not arrange to come July 2nd, make it a week later, July 9th, or even July 16th, but at any rate, do not let the next two or three months of your time be wasted when there are so many opportunities to profit.

Every year we receive hundreds of calls for graduates from our college •which we are un­ able to fill because not enough young men and young women of ability are willing to fit them­ selves with one of our courses of training.

The other day the cashier asked him why he did so, and he answered, “I have three good reasons. First, be-, cause it provides me with capital for emergencies or op­ portunities. Second, because it enables me to get com­ pound interest to work for me. Third, because it gives me the habit of thrift.” And, as he walked away, he kind of smiled and said that he had three other reasons for this account—his wife and two children.

Today’s Overland and WillysKnight cars are the best automobiles Willys-Overland ever built—and are sold at the lowest price. All past achievements are excelled in beauty, comfort and performance— in the giving of real value. Reflecting such quality, sales this season are the greatest in our his­ tory. The public has registered its appreciation of great value. OUR enthuriasm over “USCO” perform­ ance won't surprise the motorist who knows Y the fabric tire field. Every 30 x 3kJ tire user recognises "USCO” as a value to be respected and to be investigated. The users of “USCO," know it as a money’s worth that' cime before the public as a leader and that has maintained its leadership, "USCO” is made by the same people who make Royal Cords.

Business is part of the social fabric where every individual Is, directly or indirectly, dependent upon every other individual. The stockholder is dependent upon the employe, and the em­ ploye on the stockholder, while both are dependent upon the public who buy and ' consume the products they manufacture. Stockholders and employes also are consumers. In the case of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) more than eight thousand of the employes are part owners in the business. I With a keen realization of this inter­ dependence, the company, the management and the employes practice that sound Yankee fairness m dealing with one another, which makes for better understanding and industrial harmony. . The individual employe is a citizen just as the individual stockholder is a citizen. Whether or not he is a good citizen often depends upon whether he is busy, happy and successful in the business which en­ gages his attention. provea mat mis type oi citizen makes the l>est employe. The employe who is zealous in the performance of his duty who strives to give the public as well as the Company good service, is a citizen worthy of the name.

The Corporation’s resources, consisting of $85,000,000 of actual net assets, including $45,000,­ 000 of plants, make it possible for Studebaker to offer a six-cylinder car, at less than $1,000. that is emphatically superior in design, construction, per­ formance, comfort and dependability, to any- car within hundreds of dollars of its price. By complete manufacture, Studebaker not only guards the quality of clch part, but saves the mid­ dlemen's profits, with the result that no other make of car eVer built, by anyone, atony price, represents so great a dollar-for-dollar value as the Light-Six. Evidenccof its mechanical superiority is found in its practical freedom from vibration. This is accom­ plished by the perfect balance of the motor. Perfect balance is obtained largely through the complete machining of all surfaces of the crankshaft and connecting rods. This requires 61 precision oper­ ations. This method is followed exclusively by Studebaker on cars at this price. In fact, very few other cars have this feature, and their prices arc "from three to ten times as great as that of tly: Light-Six. It is significant, therefore, that the sale of more than 80,000 Studebaker cars during the first six months of this year broke all regords. Buyers are justified in expecting more for their monsy in a Studebaker than in any other car. Power to Satisfy the Most Exacting Owner SPXCIALAtX J-ffaM.. nrw B. SOH P.

You cannot get the full benefit of your out­ ing unless you can enjoy good sleep and have a good rest.

T The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an organization of 27,000 workers — a shirt sleeved organization — from the top to the bottom. in thii Company aristocncy is unknown. Instead there exists the true type of indus­ trial democracy. The department head and the employee work in full sympathy and understanding, shoulder to shoulder, for the common good. Thq office boy of today is the chief clerk of tomorrow; the district manager of today is the general manager of tomorrow. On the Board of Directors of this Company is one man who started as a common, laborer and truck driver; another who began as a mechanic’s helper; two who started as office boys, and another vyho be­ gan as timekeeper — in fact, even? man on the Board began in a comparatively humble capacity and earned his place by hard work and sheer ability.

President Harding has ashed his sabordinates to do no more than he'has shown himself willing to do. He began His economy campaign by tnak.Jg great reductions in tho expense of the oper­ ation of tho White House." His earnest­ ness in tho juattpr is also demonstra­ ted by the fact that if hq considered his own political interests, he would permit continued largo governmental expenditures by means of which ho could build up and maintain a great political machine which could be used in the neat'campaign to help secure his nomination and election. Instead of doing, that, ho haa incited the aatag onisin of govcrmnent cmpkiyccs by cur­ tailing their expenditures. Ho must look, therefore, not to a government machine- for his supixirt in tho next campaign but to the people of the country ia general who are the lieneflclaries of his economical methods and hia guveriinientnl policies. President Harding looks upon tho budget system not as a mere scrap of paper, not as a camouflage for govern meet extravagance, but as a means to an important and definite end. The Budget Bureau was designed by< Con­ Eus an agency to give tho Prcsian effective control over life cu­ es for public cx)>enditurvs. Tho details of making up tho estimates aro left to the Director uf tho Budget nnd is thsil of tho President himself.

He reminded government employ­ es that he is rcs|M>nsiblc for tho budget estimates and that an effort on tho part of the subordinate to secure an appro­ priation in excess of that for which ho 1 has made ad estimate through tho Di­ rector of the Budget will be considered an offentc serious enough to call for dismissal.

Chats With Your Gas Man .GAS SERVICE, and the modern gas water heater and gas range, are marvels of the age that nobody reepgnizes as such because they are so easy to get and so generally used. It’s a wonderful thing to have fire at the turn of a valve, and heat under con­ trol to the fraction of a degree of temperature. Just turn the flame on and the job is done. And when you’re through you can turn it off. It doesn’t continue to consume fuel and funds after the need for it has passed. And it doesn’t overheat when you have heat enough. No ashes, no smoke, no soot, no storage space. Wo could enumerate hundreds of selling points to con­ vince you that if it is done with heat, you can do it better with gas.

HASTINGS, MICH. Phone 2118 Dependability and Quality Account for the Popularity of White Lily Flour FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR is always de­ pendable because it is always the same. The sack you buy today is just like the sack you bought last week or last month. That’s because the contents of every sack are made in IDENTICALLY the same way as the contents of every other sack. . No Other Flour Can Compare With it for QUALITY and DEPENDABILITY When you buy flour for your family you want the BEST that your money can buy, and you are entitled to it. No other article of food in the home is AS IMPORTANT as flour because it is the very BASIS of all livinff. Poor flour is a poor investment, because you can’t make light, wholesome bread out of it—and BREAD IS STAFF OF LIFE. The grain that is used in FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is thoroughly cleaned and polished, and you would be surprised at the amount of dirt, dust and “fuzz’’ that comes from wheat that looks clean. In mills that are not as particular as we are, and do not have the equip­ ment for cleaning, all of that dirt goes into the flour and IUU HAVE 1U BUY 11 at so much per pound. In FRENCH’S WHITE LILY you get nothing but PURE FLOUR. Here are some of the reasons why FRENCH'S WHITE LILY is always tlie same:— 1st. We run this mill night and day, and it is a well known fact that a good even grade of flour cannot be made in any mill that remains idle 10 or 15 hours each day —The STOPPING and STARTING AFFECTS 2nd.- We put our grain through 17 sets of rolls. The ordinary mill has only 6 or 8 ■ sets. That’s why FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is of such even gran­ ulation that the -water and yeast work through it perfectly.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is doing its utmost to promote the use of motorized machin­ ery on the farm. Throughout ten middle western states this Company maintains a system of dis­ tribution which insures the farmer a dependable apply of gasoline, kerosene, lubricants and tner products of petroleum at all times. The aervice performed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a factor of impor­ tance in making thu increase ponible. Standard Oil Company (fo*-e) GOOOWtAR I' 'I II It ia obvious, therefore, that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) can turn its facilities and talents to no more important task than that of asaiating the farmer to secure a greater crop return per acre. To emphasize the far reaching benefits of motor­ izing farm equipment, it. b only necessary to state that fvm property values in the United States have increased from forty billions of dollars in 1910 to eighty-five billions in 1920—an advance of 1079k for a ten-year period.

Thursday, July 26 Thu invitation include* not only the farmer*, merchant*, profe**ional men and all other* living in the Town*hip>, but al*o ALL the peo­ ple of Halting*, young and old, tall and *hort, fat and *lim—in fact EVERYBODY living in Barry County i* included in thi* invitation. We do not care whether you ever (pent a cent in Halting*, or whether you will ever *pend a cent in Halting*—that doe* not make one iota of differ­ ence. For thi* one day let’* ALL lay aiide every comideration of buiinei* and give ourtelve* over to the thought that “we ought to be thank­ ful that we are alive” in thi* wonderful age, and devote our whole attention to the ONE IDEA of having a good, clean, wholeiome, enjoyable day. Get Acquainted The object of this Picnic is to supply an opportu­ nity for the residents of Barry County for a most en­ joyable day and to renew and enlarge their acquaint­ anceship. There are lots of good people in the world, and lots of them right here in Barry County. But if we don’t KNOW THEM WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO US? It is the sincere desire of the Committee that EACH PERSON wear a card with his or her name and address plainly written or printed thereon. We have only one life to live on this old earth. But here we are passing the short span of our years within just a few miles of one another, but with the great ma­ jority of us just as complete STRANGERS as though we lived on the other side of the earth. IS IT WORTH WHILE? Shouldn’t life mean MORE to us than that,' and are we not ALL missing out on one of the BIG­ GEST and BEST things of life—FRIENDSHIP? Think it over. An Ideal Time There could be no better or more ideal time to hold such a get-together picnic than right NOW. Work on the farm will be well along and a brief respite from the ordinary every-day duties of life will do us all GOOD—farmers, laboring men, clerks, factory em­ ployees—in fact everyone—because we all have our duties. Therefore let us hail with delight this happy and romantic season of picnics and outings, and we ask YOU to meet our preparations for your enjoyment with the same enthusiasm and kindly spirit that have marked our desire to ADD TO YOUR PLEASURE. Our aim is that, when this big Picnic is over, you can truthfully say that it was the BEST and MOST EN­ JOYABLE DAY you ever spent. Of course you cannot say that if you do not attend and that is WHY we are URGING YOU TO COME. We have done a lot of hard work, a lot of planning, spent a lot of time and a PROGRAM OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR MERCHANTS.

Yonkers11 fnrm near Orand Rapids. When tho name of the new poison Was told to crop specialists from tho Michigan Agricultural college this week by the men who discovered its new u»e, they refused to believe them. The now “poison” is bone flour or commercially known as dissolved phos­ phate flour containing 24 per cent pho* phuric arid and 52 per cent liono phos­ phate of lime. Just what is in this fertilizer to kill potato bog* has not been determined but the men declare it give* perfect control. Tho discovery was made accidentally. Mr. Yonkers told bi* men to take some pari* green nnd lime to the field with them nml dust tho potato vinca, which were being eaten up by young nnd old bug*. By mistake the men took bone flour instead of lime and before the1 error wa* discovered one whole field had been dusted. Bone flour sell* around 150 a Ion or 2’4 cent* a pound as compared with 35c to 50c a pound for pari* green. According to experiments conducted by Mr. Yonkers’ men, bone flour will' not kill striked cucumber beetles bjit it doe* have a deterrent effect on them the same a* lime. Prof. G. H. Coons of M. A.

Want you to emmin. it—and to drive it. Stop in and let us prove what a vast difference there ia between the Light-Six and other can at about the same price—or between the LightSix and can of other makca coating several hundred dollars more. To be able to buy a Six, practically free from vibration, for less than $1,000 ia an opportunity not dupli­ cated anywhere in the world. Elim­ ination of vibration adds immeasur­ ably to the life of the motor. It ia one of the reasons for the universe* high resale value of the Light-Six. The Touring Car body is all-steel —even to its framework. Seat cush­ ions—of genuine leather—are ten inches, deep and arc placed at the moat restful angle. The one-piece windshield is hand­ some and practical because it gives unobstructed view of the road ahead and is rain-proof. The quick-action cowl ventilator and the parkinglights are but indications of the quality and completeness of the appointments. No other make of car ever built, by anyone, at any price, represents •o great a dollar-for-dollar value as the Light-Six Touring Car. The sav­ ing! resulting from large volume, complete manufacture and the fact that Studebaker's overhead is shared by three distinct models make pos­ sible its low price and high value.

Your grocer is authorized by us to replace it if for any reason it fails to please you. No housewife can spend her time or labor to bet­ ter advantage than providing the family with good, wholesome, ‘‘home-made’’ bread, cakes, rolls, cookiesand pastries. She can in no other way provide such health­ ful, wholesome food for such small cost as she can from FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. There is nothing in the way of food that means so much to the family health as good, light, well baked bread, rolls and biscuits. When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY you get a flour that is not made like other flours. We use the ‘long i«= suit system” of milling, other mills use the “short system.” The “short system" is really just a "short cut" way of making flour, the idea being to make it in the shortest pos­ sible time and without the more expensive equipment. It means crowding the grain through in the shortest possi­ ble time, which takes the life out of the wheat and affects the quality of the flour.

The following Is possibly the, opv standing information received: Begin­ ning in. the spring, one should encour­ age as vigorous growth ns possible by early and thorough cultivation and by feeding of plants with well rotted ma­ nure worked well into the soil, and by the application of ammonia sulphate or nitrate of soda nt the rate of 100 lbs. per acre, broad-casted nnd worked into tho soil, or from two \o four ozs. per plant applied around the plant. Cultivation should ecaze about Aug. 15,, when one ihotild sow some cover cron, preferably oats, which will ab­ sorb moisture and slacken growth in time for winter freezing. This, with its root system, prevents washing or erosion. It wise prefects and retains fertility which is so much needed by the plant next spring. Pruning should bo done during tho dormant season to March 15th. EL8IE BAKER. COATS GROVE. Our minister and family expect to move into the parsonage Monday or J*ue»day of this week. M>». R.

WAS IT “LUCK?” Every-once in a while you will see some young, or middle-aged fellow, start out and make a very rapid climb upward in the business world. A lot of people will say: • a "Oh, he’s lucky." The fact is that it is not "LUCK’^tn the great majority of cases. If the real truth were known it would be found that that young man had simply solved the problem of "SAVING HIS MONEY." When opportunity came he was ready. _ . There is no royal road to wealth, nt>r is the secret of Success tied up in the Sphinx. It’s an "open way" to any careful observer. You take any of the great financiers of today, or of an y time in our past, they ALL started in by SAVING. That’s the first necessary step toward "Success." SAVING money isn’t always an EASY thing to do, but it IS a SIMPLE thing to do. It demands just ONE thing—and that is to spend less than you earn, and make your money WORK FOR YOU. That’s all there is to it. I If j>ou’ll watch closely you’ll find there is more SAVINGS BANK "LUCK" than any other. You can become one of the "LUCKV’’ones your« self by opening an account here. Why not try it? The Merchant*, Manufacturer* and Professional Men of Hastings all most cordially invite you to attend the Big Picnic Thursday, July 26. You should plan to attend.

LIFE IS SERVICE _______ URGES PATRONAGE OF HOME MERCHANTS Every Citizen Should Realize Partnership and Respons­ ibility In a recent issue of the Royal Oak Tribune appeared a splendid article on the subject “Owe Obligations To Com­ monwealth,'' nnd we are sure our read­ er* w ill be glad to road it and will heart­ ily approve of it also. What do you owe your home town! Whatever tho bill is, none will be pre­ sented for payment. The debt is an in­ tangible one, no matter how large it is. If you do not realize the size of it, no­ body will try to tell you. You know what tbo town has done for you,' and you know better than anybody else what you ought Io do for the town. Two questions may serve to bring the issue home to you: When your wife and children wore critically ill, wns it the doctor from the city who nulled them through! You didn't eyen think of calling him. Your first thought wns of the home town doctor, and ho saved the lives of your dear ones. When yog lost your job, who gave you credit and tided you over the winter! It certainly wasn't the s(oro in the eity that advertises “bargain*’’ for the country chopper. The merchant on ' * Front street' ’ or “ Main Street'' stood by you then, as he has for others, and ns he will again some time when the emergency arises. If these things have not happened to you they have happened to your neigh­ bors, and you know about them. Mere money cannot pay for disinterested ser­ vice such as the doctor and th; mer­ chant render under the circumstances. And they arc not cited with the idea of wakening a feeling of obligation toward those individuals who render us signal service on extraordinary occasions. They nro brought up, rather, with the view to making every loan, woman and child realize his partnership in the com­ munity and his responsibility in that partnership which means so much to him. , . The doctor and the merchant are not the only men toward whom other* in the community owe this obligation to main­ tain .the community as a self-sustaining entity. They are simply given u ex­ amples of how the proposition works out eonerelply. They are among the leaders who have consecrates) what they are and what they possess to the service of the town in Shich they live, and nil for the well-being of ita people and their future aa a community. On tho bail* of tho law of compcnaation alone they ought to receive some form of nay for their effort, beeauac even the Bible con­ cedes that tho worker is always worthy of hia hire. The cure effected by the doctor and thn credit extended by the merchant are two specific instances of benefits coming to the resident of tho small town. Th?sc are not all tho benefits, for their number is legion. In good times oa well as hard limes they come, because they arc not restricted by the senaon of tho year or limited to periods of necessity. Like “the gentle rain from heaven’’about which Portia speaks so benignly in her famous courtroom speech to Shylock in “The Merchant of Venice,” Shakespeare's masterpiece, three benefits fall upon “just” and “unjust” alike. Nobody ia shut out from their enjoyment. For instance, there arc tho schools: Everybody pays toward their support in proportion to hia ability to pay. They arc open to all children, *nd by their prceept and example they are helping your boys and girls to their place “in tho sun.” Schools bring to the young a bigger share in life, and set before them tho high ideals of our democracy. They show tho son of tho rail-splitter the road to tho president's chair. The church is another institution that makes community life pleasant for every member of the family. It stands for • better community all around. Aa tho word is used here it refers to all creeds, and is in no sense to bo consider­ ed in its sectarian or denominational significance. Pastors are loaders in all good causes, and they rally their congre­ gations to civic wholcsonieness in the life of the community. Happiness and contentment bring about, also a rich social life. You get together with your neighbors in mo­ ments of relaxation from your day's toil and enjoy intercourse with them. Clubs and organizations unite you in bonds that hold you together for one purpose or another. A score of other things might bo men­ tioned, but space forbids. For instance, there is the library, with its rich store­ house of tho world's literature. Also, there are tho material things that min­ ister to'the eomforf and well being of the people. Among them arc paved or macadamized streets, concrete sidewalks corner lights, police protection and a fire department: electric or some other system of lighting for the home, gas to make the kitchen work easier, water, sewer and similar improvements nnd convenience*. Tho stronger tho community spirit tho more of these there are. The taxes you pay settles tho bills for the things ac­ quired; the weight of your co-operation with the progressive leaden ass*roe others in the future. Be a home-town man all along tho line—patronize home­ town merchant* exclusively. Phone 2217 Hastings, Mich. I'cOURT HOUSE NEWS^ PROBATE COURT. E. tate of Frank F. Hero.

Maus, Phene 2450, Hastings Burchett, Doster H. J. Chapman, Middleville The Fourth Essential After food, clothing and shelter, the most imperative need of civilized society is trans­ portation-quick, dependable, efficient trans­ portation of persons and products. After the railroad, whose sphere of activities is circumscribed by the location of tracks and terminals, the most important transportation unit is the automobile, truck or otner auto* motive conveyances. These machines know no limitations. They can go wherever the need for transportation exists. To keep them in action; to make it possible for them to operate under all and every con­ dition, two things are necessary—fuel and lubricating oil. Sensing thia need, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) long ago began building distribu­ tion depots and service stations, at convenient intervals, throughout ten Middle Western states, from which the car owner.could secure his requirements of gasoline and lubricants in such quantities as serve him best.

Th* difference shown in the Goodyear's lower cont per mile. To supply these outlets, enormous investments have been made enlarging the refining facil­ ities of the Company and millions more have been spent getting the refined products to points where effective, economical distribution can be made. Throughout •the ten states where Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service ia organized and in operation, the motorist will find a station eveij few miles in the country; every few blocks in the city. At these stations he can secure his gasoline and lubricants of highest quality at the lowest market prices and he has at his command free air, free water, rest rooms and comfort stations. Conveniently located throughout the territory served, these stations arc practical symbols of the effort this Company is making to ade­ quately serve a community of thirty million people.

In our judgment, it stands out as the greatest value and the closest approach to mechanical perfection in moderate priced can yet produced. THE REASONS WHY , With $90,000,000 of actual net assets and $45,000,000 invested in plants. Studebaker has ample physical facilities to manufac­ ture most economically. Studebaker's oiganization of manufacturing executives, en­ gine* r»,me tallurguts.chemiats, inspectors, and skilled mechanics is second to none in the industry. The design of Studebaker cars and the workmanship upon them conform to the highest principles of engineering standards and mechanical practice known to the industry. Beat of Materials Uaed Studebaker cars contain the final known grada of Iron, steel, aluminum, tires, electrical equipment, glass, bearings, etc. No better materials for automobile manufacture exist. Sheet aluminum has but one-third the tensile strength of sheet steel, and consequently. Studebaker use? sheet steel for its bodies. By the manufacture of drop forgings, castings, stampings and the machining, assembling and finishing of motors, axles, frames, transmissions, bodies, tops, etc., and the consequent elimination of middlemen's profits, coupled with lower over­ head factory costs per ear arising from quantity production and low commercial expenses.

BALL “MADE" VANDERBILTS Glenn Dolph home near Welcome Cor­ Magnificent Entertainment Gained ners, Friday and Saturday. Family Formal Recognition by Rec­ ognised New York “Society." When' you buy meat from your butcher he charges you so much a pound—the unit of meat measurement. He weighs your meat on his scales and once a month sends you a bill for all your pur­ chases. ♦ Thia company charges you so much per one thou­ sand cubic feet—the unit of gas measurement—for gas* to cook the butcher’s meat. The gas meter ac­ curately fneasures the amount you have used during the month and a bill for just that amount is sent to you.

No matter how good a mechanical equipment you may have, if your machines are not operated in the RIGHT way the RESULTS will not be right. It’s just the same in making flour. Some millers could have the best wheat grown, and the best mechanical equipment made and yet be unable to make a good grade of flour, BECAUSE they would not use the machinery in the RIGHT WAY to get the BEST results. “FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR” has been successfully msde for a half a century, and has become a household word, not only in Barry county, but throughout the state and even in adjoining states. Our big mill has been.run to capacity day and night, year in and year out, most of the time, to supply the demand. There’s a reason for it, and it is this: During our long experience we have found out many things about making flour that can not be "found in books.” r When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR you get ALL the "flour goodness” of the wheat,. You get MORI? BREAD and BETTER BREAD than you can from any other flour. It’s the MOST ECONOMI­ CAL flour for the money, because you get a BETTER flour.

Red Crown The High-Grade Gasoline J Adds to the Joy of Motoring T Hard roads and automobiles have made it possible for one to do all of these things in the companionship of his family. The chief contributing factor to motoring is gasoline —the chief joy of motoring is to know you have a dependable gasoline in the tank. Red Crown, the High-Grade Gasoline, is dependable. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) guarantees the uni­ formity of Red Crown. With Red Crown in your tank your motor sings along the road; eager, purring, at a snail’s pace or at high speed, as you please. Red Crown is always the same, no matter where you get it, and you can get it everywhere—every few blocks in the city; every few miles in the country.

HASTINGS FRED ROGERS . - .....................-<>, ■ ■ MICHIGAN .............................................. r, . . *****♦♦*****************************'*'*** �part two ~| THE HASTINGS BANNER WAS IT “LUCK?” Every once in a while you will see some young, or middle-aged fellow, start out and make a very rapid climb upward in the business world. A lot of people will say: • "Oh, he’s lucky." The fact is that it is not *‘LUCK’’in the great majority of cases. If the real truth were known it would be found that that young man had simply solved the problem of “SAVING HIS MONEY." When opportunity came he was ready. There is no royal road to wealth, nor is the secret of Success tied up in the Sphinx. It’s an "open way" to any careful observer. You take any of the great financiers of today, or of any time in our past, they ALL started in by SAVING. That’s the first necessary step, toward "Success." SAVING money isn’t always an EASY thing to do, but it IS a SIMPLE thing to do. It demands just ONE thing—and that is to spend less than you earn, and make your money WORK FOR YOU. That’s all there is to it. If you’ll watch closely you’ll find there is more SAVINGS BANK "LUCK" than any other. You can become one of the "LUCKY" ones your­ self by opening an account here.

Tuesday morning tho Water Carni­ val took place which consisted of swimming, rowing, egg nnd spoon, aud eork races. Each tribe was allowed three contestants for each event—re­ sults will be reported later. Good Turns. ' Saturday morning at assembly the girls drew each other* names and wore told to do a good turn during the next two days to the person whose name they drew. The names drawn were to be 'kept secret nnd it look much care and caution on the part of each to do the turn unnoticed. Tribes. The camp, which is composed cf old­ er nnd younger jjirls, has been divided into tribes, with a tent of older girls and younger girls in cash tribe. A chief ia elecjot a» leader of each tribo with an Indian name and-appropriate meaning for the entire tribo. Hikes are taken, stunts given, and nil activities participated in, entirely by tribes.

Then as the night goes on we all join hands around the camp fire and sing a hymn and our goodnight songs and reluctant­ ly make our way to our toots for a pleasant night under a bright moon nnd shading trees. Lessons st Assembly. At nine o'clock the girls all gather for assembly when we ring camp songs and listen to short inspirational talks given by the counsellors. Each tent has given a lesson in eti­ quette by acting out the correct way to give invitations and introductions; how to behave at parties and danecs, ete. Perhaps these will not bo long remembered but the girls all listened eagerly. ’ SPECIAL SUMMER FEEDING NOTICE The proper proportion for summer feed­ ing is twice as much Chowder as Hen Chow by weight.

Nearly a Billion Dollars Loss gTATlSTICS show that almost a billion dollars were lost to the public through the purchase of worthless stocks during the past year. That's a tremendous amount of money, and it seems so foolish when this loss could have been easily prevented. The old saying “investigate before you invest” invariably leads to the door of a bank, and if the banker’s advice were followed on all investments, the losses now so stag­ gering would be practically nil.

Chapman, MldfiJovlllo S.O.S Standard Oil Service HE Standard Oil Company Indiana is doing much to solve a problem of intense and vital interest to you. With its mammoth central refineries and its /ar-reaching distributing system—operating with machine-like precision — it is exerting • direct influence on the labor problems of the fanner. That the farmer is coming to a realization of the benefits of motorizing his equipment is shown by the fact that one tractor manufacturer reports the sale of 20,000 of his machines during the first three months of 1923 as compared with 8,000 of the same mach>ne* >old during the same period in 1922. This increase in the use of mechanical power in genera] farm practice means a distinct saving in time, and, eventually, will mean' greater crops and greater general prosperity. While the efficient harnessing of petroleum with farming, and the production of food, is an achievement of signal importance, it is but one instance of how Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service dovetails with every other Jnistnesa. It dovetails with industry by furnishing special­ ized lubricants for apecial machinery. It promotes health by taking from petroleum those ingredients which are used medicinally. It makes it possible for thb doctor to cover a much greater territory in pursuing his practice. It dovetails with the railroads through lubrica­ ting much of their intricate equipment, and makes night travel safe by reason of a depend­ able signal system. It meets the housewife by furnishing her a wax which safeguards her preserves, jellies, and con­ diments against spoilage. It reaches directly, or indirectly, every man in the Middle West at some point which is csscntial to his prosperity or happiness with a service which Is occupying the entire time and attention of 27,000 Joyal, efficient, hard-working men and women. .

People have recognized for years the great value of a thorough training at the Michigan Busi­ ness and Normal College. We prepare you for success in business. Our courses of study and training are for use. not for ornament. They spread before you hundreds of vivid examples of the actual way and manner by which business today is carried on. They bring to your mind the best methods of thousands of successful business men—ar­ ranged and tabulated into a definite science—so as to form a most thorough, complete and practical course. Think of the great number of business pointers and money-making ideas in our courses of training—not merely generalizations, vague, untried, guesswork theories—but definite, specific methods and plans —every one repeatedly tried and tested in the crucible of daily ex­ perience, every one the valuable product of costly experiment, every one with a definite dollar-and-cent value to you as long as you live. Imagine the gist of the experience of all the mighty men of business brought into compact, tangible form for your benefit—imagine the ideas, the methods, the very same plans used in the factories, the work shops, the offices, the executive roortis being transferred and arranged for your study and application, yet placed before you easy to under­ stand and intensely interesting. Here Are a Few Other Reasons Why You Should Attend the Michigan Business and Normal College Eanl R. Finlay, Manager for the Studebaker Company at Spokane, Washington, says that his personal efficiency and ability as a. manager is the direct result of his course of training at the M. B. & N. C. He also says that Mr. Argubright’s lectures on Salesmanship and Personal Efficiency have enabled him to handle his own salesmen with a far greater degree of success than he could otherwise have done. Walter Haughey was earning something like %40.00 a month prior to his attendance at "The School That Gets Results." Today he is Sales Manager for the McFarland Auto Company at Denver, Colorado. Mr. Haughey says that any young man or young woman who wishes to succeed "big” in the world of business should acquire the training offered at the Michigan Business and Normal College at the earliest possible moment. He emphasizes the personal supervision and indi­ vidual direction that each student will receive while a student of this school. His phenomenal advancement in the world of business is a di­ rect result of the personal supervision and guidance that he received while a student here and after graduation. Miss Nettie Camamile, private secretary to the Chief of the Di­ vision of Schools and Colleges for the Burroughs Adding Machine Com­ pany of Detroit, has more than trebled her salary as a public school teacher by and through her training with us. One of the Greatest Reasons for the Success of Our Graduates Lies in the Correct Vocational Guid­ ance Given Every Student Who Attends the M ichigan Business and Normal College A young man came to this school and said he wanted to be a book­ keeper, but during the first few weeks of his training, we discovered that he possessed all the characteristics of a high grade salesman. Act­ ing on our advice after graduation he toojc a position not as bookkeeper but as a salesman, and the first six months his salary and commissions totaled $4,800.00. Today he is a field manager for a large manufac­ turing corporation, a position he secured because of his exceptional ability in salesmanship and the training he received at the Michigan Business and Normal College. Why not capitalize your natural ability by taking advantage of the training offered by the Michigan Business and Normal College? Why not take advantage of our correct Vocational Guidance? Millions of young men and young women start out in early life to find some occupation. They straggle here and there trying to find the particular place in the world occupation for which they are best fitted. Many of them go it blind, without any direction whatever, with­ out any attention being given to that most important condition of real efficiency—personal fitness of the worker for his task. Vocational guidance is relatively a new science to many. It has been Mr. Argubright’s hobby for many years and he is an expert in this line as well as that of business. The importance of proper vocational guidance has received a wonderful impetus in^fche last-few. years. Tht 'greatest successes in'"business' are made by round pegs in round holes and square pegs in square holes. There is a place for every young man, a place for every young woman, a place where every one of us may..obtain the greatest success with the least effort. It is our business to find the place which every graduate of this school is best fitted to fill. And bear this in mind—THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE IS ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY SCHOOL ANYWHERE IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY GIVING REAL ASSISTANCE OF THIS KIND TO ITS GRADUATES. Will You Follow in Their Footsteps? What We Did for Them We Can Do for You Clyde L. Bush enrolled at the Michigan Business and Normal Col­ lege for the Special Course in the School of Accounting and Business Administration immediately after completing his High school training in the Battle Creek public schools. Mr. Bush is the son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Bush, 165 Maple street. In connection with his studies in the School of Accounting and Business Administration he carried the full Secretarial Course, and immediately upon graduation was placed in an excellent position as Personal Secretary and Assistant to Mr. A. N. Snyder, Branch Accountant and Auditor for the Republic Motor Truck Company. Mr. Bush now holds an important executive position with the Du­ rant Corporation, Lansing. And thus does M. B. & N. C. training pave the way for hundreds of young people. « Gertrude Wilkins, 121 South Hudson street, Coldwater, enrolled at the Michigan Business and Normal College for the Combined Busi­ ness and Shorthand Course immediately after completing her work in the Coldwater High School. She is now employed as a Secretary in the office of one of Coldwater’s manufacturing industries and is get­ ting along splendidly. In a recent letter to Mr. Argubrtght, she said: “I certainly can appreciate more and more the fact that I attended the Michigan Business and Normal College. No real business office has room for the untrained, and they will not make room to conveni­ ence you, no matter who you are. Your pay is based on what you KNOW. “Three of my cousins attended ‘The School that Gets Results,' and all are holding splendid positions and are on their way to better ones.” Lewis Van Arman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Van Arman, Mar­ shall, graduated from the Marshall High school and immediately en­ rolled at the Michigan Business and Normal College for the Special Secretarial Course. He graduated December 10, 1921, and took a positioh on the morn­ ing of December 12 as Personal Secretary to Mr. Beitler, General Man­ ager of the Republic Motortruck Company of Alma. Mr. Van Arman’s position is another one of those places directly at the elbow’of the man who has the power of promotion within his hands. Practically all instruction to the various departments of that great institution are dictated to Mr. Van Arman. Taking dictation re­ garding every phase of the business, he has a wonderful opportunity to learn the routine of the oi^anization and some day take over im­ portant executive responsibilities of his own. Just out of school—and able to step into a position like this and make good! Isn’t that about as fine a recommendation as you could ask for his training? Doesn't this bear out everything that has been said about thoroughness of courses and about the confidence employers have in young people who have had the Argubrtght stamp of approval placed upon them? How about your own future, young man, young woman? Can you hope to find an opportunity like this without getting the training business regards as so essential before they will even put you on the office payroll?

All the former fatigue and labor . -L early are done away with and electric power performs the task smoothly, rppidly and economically. The clothes—whether the finest laces or the heaviest blankets—are placed in the washer which has been filled with hot,. soapy .. water. A button is .pressed to start the motor, the machine is started by turning a handle and fleets no further attention until the washing of the first batch of clothes is complete. The Apex Ironer is a fit team mate for the Washer and completes the ironing in an hour or two that, by the hand iron, requires a day or ipore: Not only flat work, but petticoats, house dresses, children's dresses and even Hounded pieces can be put through the ironer, leaving the more.elab­ orate ruffles to be finished by hand. In fact, most of the wash cjn be handled on this ironer with astonishing ease and speed, from the smallest handkerchiefs to the largest tablecloths and bed spreads, including the finest underwear, shirts and apparel. The Apex is most easily operated. Il is the only machine of its kind to have doiible control— by either hand or foot. The ironing surface is very finely . polished and gives an even uniform pressure.

One of our cus-. tomcrs suggested the oth­ er day that his bill for last month should have men­ tioned the following items: “To carrying out ashes for one month. "To carrying in coal and kindling for one month. "To curtain washing, cleaning of woodwork and upholstery for one month. "To eliminating several thousand useless steps in the kitchen. "To saving baby's life when she became sud­ denly ill in the night and it was necessary to heat water quickly. “To all services rendered as above, $3.00."

Before you buy any car, see the STUDEBAKER 19X4 MODELS Studebaker prevents its complete line of 1924 model*, announced a week ago, with the conviction that they will increase the prestige of the name Studebaker which, for 71 yean, has stood for the beat in transportation, quality and value of product. Into these 1924 can arc built every proved feature in design that makes for the comfort, convenience and safety of passengers, and many refinements that further enhance the’ value of a line of can already highly perfected. It is common knowledge In the steel industry that Studebaker uses only the highest grades of the finest steels. And the same ia true of the electrical equipment, Instruments, bearings, bat­ teries, upholstery, finishing paints, tires and accessories used in Stude­ baker can. It is equally well known that Stude­ baker, with $90,000,000 of actual net assets, including $45,000,000 of plant facilities, is unsurpassed in ability and resources to manufacture economi­ cally and give maximum intrinsic value for a given price. Produced under these favorable con­ ditions, the 1924 Studebakers are dis­ tinctly the finest cars and greatest values Studebaker ever offered. These are not careless statements. They are facts that reflect the honesty and integrity of the manufacturer and its product just as they do the truth of Studebaker advertising. Thp public has placed its confidence in Studebaker by accepting these facts, supported... by the performance of Studebaker cars in owners* use. That's . why Studebaker aa/es for the past air years have increased protreaaively each year and sales for the first six months of 1923 of 81,880 cars broke all six months’ records. Studebaker never cheapens qual­ ity to meet competition. The name Studebaker stands for satisfaction and service.

EDMONDS, Mgr. HASTINGS. MICH. Phone 2118 {^Dependability and Quality Account for the Popularity of White Lily Flour FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is always de­ pendable because it is always the same. The sack you buy today is just like the sack you bought last week or last month. That’s because the contents of every sack are made in IDENTICALLY the same way as the contentfiW every other sack. No Other Flour Can Compare With it for QUALITY and DEPENDABILITY When you buy flour for your family you want the BEST that your money can buy, and you are entitled to it. No other article of food in the home is AS IMPORTANT as flour because it is the very BASIS of all living. Poor flour is a poor investment, because you can’t make good, light, wholesome bread out of it—and BREAD IS THE STAFF OF LIFE. The grain that is used in FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is thoroughly cleaned and polished, and you would be surprised at the amount of dirt, dust and “fuzz” that comes from wheat that looks clean. In mills that HOLME* CHURCH. are not as particular as we are, and do not have the equip­ ment for cleaning, all of that dirt goes into the flour and YOU HAVE TO BUY IT at so much per pound. In FRENCH’S WHITE' LILY you get nothing but PURE FLOUR. Here are some of the reasons why FRENCH'S WHITE LILY is always the same:— 1st. We run this mill night and day, and it is a well known fact that a good even grade of flour cannot be made in any mill that remains idle 10 or 15 hours each day. — The STOPPING and STARTING AFFECT THE QUALITY. 2nd. We put our grain through 1 7 sets of rolls. The ordinary mill has only 6 or 8 sets. That’s why FRENCH’S WHITE LfLY FLOUR is of such even gran­ ulation that the water and yeast work through it perfectly. FRENCH’S 'WHITE LILY has “grown-up” with Barry county. For nearly 50 years it has been a house­ hold word in hundreds of homes in this county. “French’s Flour Makes Good Cooks ilertained Mr. and Mrs. Charley Ken- ill and Max, of Coats Grove. and Mra.

And tho Governor is rcponsible for not hav­ ing a Gasoline tax. It seems to us that Maryland Ims blazed tho way for other states to follow. TJioro a nominal fee is charged on cnch automobile. Wo would favor n larger fee; or it would seem that a small weight tax might bo levied, say ono that would cost 04.00 for a Ford touring ear, about 38.00 for a Studc brfkcr, nnd about 118.00 for a big truck —say 40 cents on a 100 lbs. Then Maryland pays nil other eosla- of her good’ road’, including paving, by n 3 cent gasoline tax, or 1 cent more than was proposed in Michigan. Buch apian yields enough in Maryland so that all her roads, trunk lines and connecting ones, havo been improved, nnd nro now patrolled and maintained in tho very best possible condition, so that Mary­ land is considered ns having the best system of highways of any stnto in tho Union. Under the plan outlined, with a small weight tax and with n 3 cent Gasoline tax, Michigan could rcnlizq ' probnblv 314,000.000 to 310,000,000 njehr, which would build and maintain tho improved highways of this state, pay interest on tho road bonds nnd lay aside a sinking fund for tho payment of those bonds.

Think about it a* you may, and you havo indicated that by what you have said, tho real thought behind the whole enterprise is to get the people of thi* community together and provide tho best enter­ tainment possible. You ean’t got th* people of any community together with­ out it* doing a lot of good. But you ean’t see it that way, because all you Si see i* yourself. You will see ny of the men responsible for tho success of thia pienic serving on Com­ mittee*, and absolutely without pay. Personally, leamc here at six o’clock this morning and have been pn the job ever aince. My part of tho work ia to help get the coffee ready. If the committee had aelcetcd mo to take a broom anti keep a certain path, clean all day long, I would havn done that work just as ehMrfully. Now you do not realise it, Mr. Man, but it takes hours of planning and working to pre­ pare and plan the program for a day’s entertainment, and besides this is the timo wo aro giving here todav, saying nothing of the money that ha* been donated for thi* community picnic. And now, on top of all that, such fel­ lows aa you, aro calling us grafters and dollar chaser* A picnic like thia is intended more especially for those who enjoy a good time, and enjoy helping others have a good time. But holding tho view* you do, I cannot see how you ean enjoy yourself, why you want­ ed to come, nqr how you can accept the hospitality of those responsible for thia picnic. There is misunderstanding enough nnd poaaimism cr.ju^h in the world right now. You will find a lot more of satisfaction in life, and get a whole lot more enjoyment-out of liv­ ing, if you’ll change your critical way of looking at thing* and do what you ean to add to the enjoyment of others.’’ Bat every.community has ita kickers, and it is a pcJtriiar fact that they tire usually the first ones on hand at any gathering—especially if it’s free. 20% REDUCTION!

The fact is that it ia not ”LUCK”in the great majority of cases. If the real truth were known it would be found that that young man had simply solved the problem of “SAVING HIS MONEY." When opportunity came he waa ready. There ia no royal road to wealth, nor is the secret of Success tied up in the Sphinx. It’s an “open way” to any careful observer.

Rich or poor, young man or young woman, business is easily the richest field in the world for you. Business offera you more, and bigger opportunities to get ahead—to earn a big income—than all the trades and professions combined. Young people in business, with less than five years’ experience, often earn more than college professors, lawyers, doctors, teachers and skilled tradesmen with twenty years’ experience. And five years in business is just a start. It is in business where men and women quickly rise to high-salaried executive positions. It is in business where great fortunes are made. It is in business where men and women rise to power, influence and fame. Business is the one field of endeavor which is not—and cannot be­ come—overcrowded. Business is bigger--r-much bigger—than any one trade or profession. And business is growing faster than any. Which means that the demands of business are growing greater. And greater opportunities always come with greater demands. Business is a game of wits—of highly developed brains. There never can be such a thing as too much brain power. So,.this is another reason why there can never be a surplus of trailed brain workers in business. Also it is one reason why there is no limit to the incomes business workers may earn. Business is one of the most democratic fields in the world. Your social position, your family ties, your financial circumstances, are of no o. s. As.QXJvuam President and Business Manager Michigan's Leading Business Training School for Forty-One Years THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE TRAINS THOROUGHLY FOR BUS­ INESS AND OBTAINS EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL GRADUATES. THE MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE ia composed of five distinct schools: The School of Buxines* and Bookkeeping. The School of Shorthand and Typewriting. The School of Secretarial Science. Tho School of Accounting and Business Ad­ ministration.^ consequence. Business is cold blooded. But business is fair. Are you,,a producer? This is all business wants to know. If you are—and if you can prove that you are—business offers its richest opportunities to you. Business does not ask your sex. Business offers equal opportuni­ ties to men and womerT. If you can get results, regardless of your sex, your independence is assured, as millions of men and women have proved. Business does not ask your age. If at twenty-three, twenty-eight or thirty, you are capable of greater responsibility, greater responsi­ bility is literally thrust upon your shoulders. And with greater respon­ sibility comes greater opportunity and greater earning power. Your progress—your success—is determined solely by your ability and not by your age. This is why you find so many young men and young wom­ en holding high positions in business. • Business offers clean, healthy surroundings. Business offers digni­ fied employment—permanent employment. There are no strikes, Jockouts or labor troubles in business. Business puts you in contact with big-brained men and women—men and women from whom you can learn the secrets of success. These are just a few of the reasona -there are many others—why business is easily the richest field of opportunity for young men and young women, whether they come from the homes of the rich or the poor. Will You Be One of the High Salaried Executives of Tomorrow? Every office is divided into two groups—those who direct the busi­ ness—the sales and the accounting—and those who carry out these directions. Those who direct are the higher salaried, department heads and managers. Those who carry out the directions axe assistant execu­ tives—stenographers, secretaries, accountants, bubKkeepera, confiden­ tial assistants. As changes take place or as the business expands, The OommercUl Ntrmal Training School. The courses offered in tho School of Account­ ing and Busina** Administration, the School of Secretarial Science, and the Commercial Normal Training School are courses of full collegiate grade. these assistant executives inherit or grow into higher executive and ad­ ministrative positions. This is the history of practically every big organization. The ex­ ecutives of today are the assistant executives of yesterday—the stenog­ raphers, bookkeepers, etc. And the executives of today ‘are the own­ ers of tomorrow. At 19 These Two Young Men Are Occupying Executive Positions—They Lost No Time Between High School and M. B. & N. C. Training Persons desirous of becoming successful Ac­ countants, Bookkeepers, Correspondents, Secre­ taries.- Advertisement Writers, Salesmen, Busi­ ness Managers, Court Reporters, General Re­ porters, Stenographers, or Teachers of tho Com­ mercial Branches will find at the MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE a most attractive portunity for study, instruction and practice. little opportunity to develop into an executive. , Their son was ambitious and wanted to get some place, so his views accorded wtih those of hi* parent*.

Ho and hl* people had boon watching tho suecea* of M. B. A N. C. graduates and they rcalited that tho best time to take up this work is immediately following High School. September, 1921, found young Hart hard at his studies at LeRoy Hart, 19, In high grade secretarial-accounting poslsltlon with Transport Truck Company. Here la living, breathing proof: Ftrat: That M.

Fourth: That well meaning friend*, misinformed, may cost yon a big future if you follow their advice. Fifth: That without special, high grade training you are "The School That Get* Result*.” He completed the training with splendid credit to himself nnd the school an<l was immediately sent to a most attractive position along Sec­ retarial and Accounting lines with the Transport Truck Company at Mount Pleasant, lie, too, will Ira far up the ladder-in a few years. Howard Norton, as he says, "made the same mistake that is made by so many others—tried to succeed through experience and not through training.” . ”1 listened to friends, who told me that, since all businesses aro conducted, differently, the only way to get ahead' was to get a position and work my way up by experience. That might have been good advice fifty years ago, but I found that to­ day it leads only to disappointment and failure,” he continue*. "After I left Bronson High, three valuable years slipped away from mo, and I found myself no higher up tho Udder than the day I started. I lacked the knowledge of business procedure that would place me in line for greater re»pon*ibilitie«. fitted only for a routine job—a routine pay envelope—and a routine future, Sixth: That with Michigan Business and Normal College training you can gain five or ten years' promotion In one.

When you buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY you not only get all the flour goodness of the best Michigan winter wheat, but you get such an even, perfect granulation as will enable the housewife to get MORE loaves of bread and BETTER bread from a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY than from any other flours.

Taking tho 110 volt alter­ nating current regularly used by the Consumore Power Co. for lighting, he sent that current through apparatus that stopped it up to 1,000,000 volts, a tre­ mendous voltage.

The lecturer displayed-a wonderful, new apparatus for breaking up all kindk of different substances, such as lead, gold, silver, oxvgen, etc., into electric ions. A remarkable thing about this mechanism was that no matter what the substance need for tho purpose of being dissolved the eloetrie ion* into which thr material was dissolved were of exact!? the same character, and each of tho so, called different euostancea was trans' formed into a stream of ions of exactly the same nature and substance.

However, a few figures may serve to give some idea as to the extent and the value of this work. Last y<*» 18,050 boys end girls were members of elubs in Michigan. Prod­ ucts valued at $18731144 were pro­ duced by club members, with a net profit of ^BO,422.00. Club work has been in progress long enough so that its accumulated results are becoming evident As Secretary of Agriculture Wallaee expresses it: “The club movement has already boose suffi­ cient fruit to show that generally the farmer who was a elub boy will have a bettor managed farm than tho one who did not have the advantage of club training.’* , . . The remarkable results being achieved through elub work are probably due to the fact that the influence which is brought to boar is exerted during the impressionable and formative yean of life. ______________ NOBTHBABT butland.

For the past forty years we have been deluged with requests from big business men who want young men and women to come into their organizations and grow into executive positions paying from $3,000 to $5,000 a year—and sometimes more. These employers do NOT want mere stenographers and bookkeepers. They want FUTURE EXECUTIVES —young people who already know the fundamentals of business, who have been trained to render real service and who have the ambition, to grow. We have been able to fill only about one-fifth of the calls of this sort that have come to us. If we could get more young men and young women to take our course of \ training and prepare themselves for these high-salaried positions it would be a great help to the big business in­ terests who are looking to Michigan Business and Normal College, for their supply of skilled office help who are cap­ able of filling executive positions later.

The Schoo! of Accounting and Busln?ss Ad­ ministration. “Out of one hundred average healthy men at twentyfive, thirty-six of them will be dead before they reach sixty-five; five will be wealthy, five will still be supporting themselves by work, and fifty-four or eighty-four per cent of those still alive will be dependent upon fridnds, rela­ tives or charity.” Tho Commercial Normal Training School The courses offered In the School of Account­ ing and Business Administration, tho School of Secretarial Science, and the Commercial Normal Training School are courses of full collegiate grade. Where will you stand financially at that age? Will you be among the five wealthy men or the five supporting themselves by work; or will you be one of the fifty-four dependent upon friends or charity?. Persons desirous of becoming successful Ac­ countants, Bookkeepers, Correspondents, Secre­ taries, Advertisement Writers, Salesmen, Busi­ ness Managers, Court Reporter*, General Re­ porters, Stenographers, or Teachers of the Com­ mercial Branches will find at the MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE a moet attractive opportunity for study, instruction and practice. Sixty-five may seem a long way off, but now is the time to think about it—now is the time to lay your plans for the future. And the only way you can beat these statistics is to make yourself personally efficient. It is the only way you MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COL­ LEGE graduates are tn demand. The calls for our students always far exceed the supply. Many business firms rely upon tu ont'roly for all additional workers. The great crime of today is personal inefficiency, and ninety-five men out of every hundred are paying the price. The last hundred years have seen the most tremendous de­ velopments along mechanical lines in the history of man­ kind—the last ten years have seen the beginning of an equally great upheaval in the efficiency of man himself. And a few years hence, the ordinary man of today-will be as much out of date without Personal Efficiency as Fulton’s steamboat. GET THE RIGHT START. The man or woman who has been directed into the right vocation and has attained efficiency by training in such a college as M. B. & N.

BE CONVINCED OF THE SUPERIOR QUALITY By Trying a Sack of OBDEB FOB FUBUOATIOW. White Lily Flour Just a trial sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR u all we ask you to buy, if you are not familiar with it Thousands of its very best friends began using it in just that way. They were so well pleased with the UNIFORM QUALITY of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY that they have never found anything to take its place. To be sure many of them have tried other brands of flour but they always come back to the old reliable FRENCH’S WHITE LILY that they KNOW and have tried out. We are now almost up to the half century mark in making FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. We supplied the old pioneers of Barry County with their flour and we are now supplying their chil­ dren and their children’s children. In thousands of homes the name of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY u a household word, endeared to them through years that have passed, and likewise prized by us. If you have trouble “bake days" don’t doubt your ability as a good cook until you have given FRENCH’S WHITE LILY a good, thorough trial. Its quality is sdways uniform because this mill runs night and day, year in and year out, by water power, the best and most even power known. That is what helps to give FRENCH’S WHITE LILY iU even, smooth quality, and it’s the even quality that makes “BAKING DAYS" really a pleasure instead of a dread, wllen FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR is used. If you have never used FRENCH’S WHITE LILY, why not begin NOW? One trial will convince you of its superior quality, and that it is just the flour you have been looking for.

Announces New Models FOURS and SIXES These new Nash conceptions in open and en­ closed car types are now placed on display with a quiet surety that they will exceed the expectations even of those who look for Nash to lead the way and who consequently set their hopes highest. With traditional progressiveness Nash has developed a number of bodies and other out­ standing improvements whose artistry and execution are as certain to command the pro fessional concern of coachwork craftsmen and engineers as well as the admiration of the public at large. With no justification in the way of increased manufacturing costs for a price advance Nash stands firm on current prices so that the important and expensive new car ad vancements relating both to engineering and equipment in reality constitute a price reduction.

As this line of service is one in which there is an inevitable tendency toward monopoly, this eonsolidntion is to bo regarded ns a natural result of economic causes, and i* not surprising, and should mean tho good of the public.

HENRY COUNT VICTIM ‘ OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT Leg Onuhed When Ford Car Crashes Into Him as He Stands by Car Our Middleville correspondent sends ua the following details of a distressing accident that occurred in their village, Monday afternoon by which Henry Count, aged 71 year*, of Orangeville township, sustained a compound frac­ ture of the right leg. Mr. Count was standing by hl* Ford with hi* foot on the running board while hi* car was being supplied with gasoline from the filling station at Ben­ nett’* garage, when a Ford driven by Clifford Ford, aged 16, and another boy of Rockland, swerved into him a* it passed, pinning him to tho running board. He waa carried into Dr. Han• Ion’s office nearby and an examination of his injuries showed them to bo of so serious a nature, Miller’s ambulance from this city waa summoned and Mr. Count waa brought to Pennock hos­ pital. Dr*. Woodburne aud McIntyre were called on the case and found the leg in such £ condition it was feared amputation might have to be under­ gone, but owing to the patient’s age and the shock from the accident they feared it might prove fatal, so set the leg and fixed it aa skillfully as the nature of tho accident would permit and arc trusting for a favorable out­ come. The boys were driving at a moderate speed bqt after coming across the bridge lost control of the car, an ex­ amination showing tho steering gear was defective, which had a tendency to lessen the first indignation felt against the boys. Later—Mr. Count passed away on Tuesday about noon. TO DRIVERS OF AUTOS AND TRUCKS. Why not give your beat co-op­ eration to the state and county officials by— 1.

It surely speaks for itself. The Citizens Co. has developed in .the people here an appre­ ciation of telephone aervice, and have given them the very best, and at reas­ onable, fair rates. J.'E. MeElwaia is to be continued as not only the manager of the local ex­ change, but also group manager of the group of exchanges Including Hastings, Caledonia, Middleville, Freeport, Lake Odessa and Nashville. Manager Mc­ Elwain managed tho local exchange when it was first established as an in­ dependent company, from 1896 to 1899. He has managed it over since it has been owned by tho Citizens Co., and has been in the employ of that com­ pany longer than any other person as nn exchange manager. Ho has taken pride in the growth of the local ex­ change and business, and in the marked improvement in its service since the automatic phones wore installed. It may surprise you to learn that be­ ing manager of a telephone exchange is no snap and no bod of roses. And yot all through tho years he has filled the place to the satisfaction of the people here, treating everybody courteously, nnd bringing credit also to his em­ ployers. Every patron of the exchange in Hastings is glad that Mr. McElwain is to continue as manager, and his ter, Miss Mary MeElwnin, will be tho eoshier after the transfer is made.

A daughter, Ruth, was born on Satur­ day, Aug. 18, to Mr. nnd Mrs. James MacGregor. Mrs. Stanley Mix of Nashville under­ went an operation for goiter on Tues­ day. f A baby born to Mr. and Mrs. Morris Sutton (Edith Hall) of Grand Rapids died on Sunday. A number of tonsil operations have been performed during the past week, ail tho patients making fine recoveries. Mrs. Henry Bidelman, who under­ went a major operation on Thursday, is recovering splendidly. Mrs. Mary Dahlstrom of ’ . Nashville had a major operation last week and is convalescing. Twelve patients and three babies are receiving care at tho hospital this week. . A minor operation was performed on Mrs. Fred Fisher of Nashville Thurs­ day and she ia remaining at the hospi­ tal for treatment. When Manager Goshorn sent out some recent advertising for “Minnie,” the show at the Strand Sunday and Monday, he didn’t have any idea that it might create any domestic agitation, but that’s what it did—and perhaps quite naturally, too. The cards were addressed to the men and were signed “Minn”, inviting the recipients to meet her at the Strand at 7:00 o’clock Sunday evening. It happened that one of these cards, in a sealed envelope, was sent to a well known man in the city, and was de­ livered at his home. He wasn’t there at the time, and didn’t know anything about it. His wife picked up the letter, looked at the address, and laid it down. Of course women are not curious, but this letter seemed to be on her mind, so after a while she just “happened” to bo going by that letter again, so she stopped and picked it up, and remarked, “I wonder who that letter is from!” Then she went on about her work for a little while and again just happened to go by that letter. Again she stopped, picked it up, looked at it, and said, “I wonder who that letter is from! I just have a notion to open it and see.” Her daughter, standing near, said, “Oh, don’t open it, it would rob Dad of one of tho great pleasures of receiving a letter—and that’s opening it.” Again the letter was laid down and the Mrs. went on about her work. Not long after this she again went by that letter, stopped, picked it up, and again said, “I do wonder who that letter is from! I'm Just going to open it and see.” Suiting her actions to her words, she picked up the letter, tore off the end, pulled oat a neat little enrd on which was written:— “Dear ■ ■ “Meet me at the Strand next Sun­ day evening at 7:15.” “Minn.” Wow. The balloon went up and the sky was full of fireworks. The inno­ cent husband, all unmindful of what had taken place, was called on the car­ pet and the grilling that he received would do justice to the ablest trial who opened • similar letter addressed to her nuaband, had her grip all packed explanations. And still another one, after shedding copious tears, hiked down town to her husband’s place of business, and; throw­ ing tho accusing card in front of him, demanded an instant explanation. One of tho prime requirements of an advertisement is to ’’arouse tho interest aad attract the attention” of the buy­ ing public. Judged from this standard, Manager Go»horn’s little epistle was surely a howling success, even though it might have been a little hard on the men. . MARTIN CORNERS.

We hope the next legislature will see to it that such a law is placed upon the statute books, so-that Michigan will get in line with tho great majority of other atates in adopting this fair and reasonable method of maintaining her highways.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22, 1923 vnm Reasons Why— MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE GRADUATES EARN MORE MONEY . a 84% of the Men Who Reach the Age of 65 Years Are Dependent Upon Their Children or Public Charity We have helped more than 5,000 young people to achieve success and be­ come independent—to become an asset instead of a liability upon societ-. There are a number of reasons why our graduates are more than usually success­ ful and we give some of them below: Correct Vocational Guidance and Training Placing Graduates In Paying Positions “SQUARE PEGS DON’T FIT ROUND HOLES" Every year million* of young men and yoling women leave the school rooms of the country to find some occupation. ' Numerous motives lead them hither and thither. But how exceptional are the cases where any attention is given at all to that most important condi­ tion of real efficiency—personal fitness of the worker for his task. The most su­ perficial impulses determine the turns of the road. Chanee information and chance advice by those who are wholly unfit to advise, haphazard impressions, wrong vision; and in many cases above all, the accident of a vacant place, the wish to be with friends; the convenient location; family tradition, and a hundred other secondary conditions are decisive, while the primary factors are neglected. Vocational guidance is relatively a new science to many—it has been Mr. Argubright’s hobby for many years. The importance of proper vocational guid­ ance has received a wonderful impetus in the last few years. Its importance has been proven by the work being done along this line by psychologists and the Vocational Bureaus established in our reconstruction hospitals, our colleges, our universities and our normal training schools.

C. J. ARGUBRIGHT President of Michigan Business and Normal College. Through the extended acquaintance of Mr. C. J. Argubright, President of the Michigan Business and Normal College, gradu­ ates from this college have many opportunities to accept the best paying positions. , Business firms like the Postum Cereal Company; the Kel­ logg Toasted Corn Flakes Company; the Studebaker Corporation of Detroit; the Olds Motor Company of Lansing; the Hudson Motor Company of Detroit; the Republic Motor Truck Com­ pany at Alma; the Buick Motor Company of Flint; the Local Agency at Battle Creek.—These great business concerns, and hundreds of others, have learned to depend entirely on our rec­ ommendations. „ In fact, business men throughout the country are asking for our Graduates. Even during these days we have many calls for graduates of Michigan Business and Normal College and are un­ able to qualify young men and young women fast enough to take care of the demand. The calls come to us not only from Battle Creek, but from many of the surrounding towns and cities. They come by telegram, by long distance ’phone, by letter, and by personal calls. INSTITUTING NEW COURSES OF TRAINING AS BUSINESS DEMANDS All Business and Industrial firms are willing and glad to pay high salaries to competent office help. The great strides made in Business and Industry during the past few years have created a need for office help with new knowledge and training along new lines, together with efficiency. Michigan Business and Normal College has kept pace with this demand, by adding new courses of training as business required. The New School of Secretarial Science was added to our course of training in May, 1922. It is a recognized fact today that secretarial work is just as much a profession as law, medicine, engineering or teaching, and re­ quires special training. A few years ago, an average Stenographic Training, and especially if backed by a few months’ Business and Bookkeep­ ing foundation work, was considered sufficient for secretarial duties, but with the growth of big business and the consequent new and varied demands, the executive of today has imperative need of a secretary, with a practical, advanced training of full collegiate grade along the lines of Secretarial Science. Busi­ ness executives who are paid from $5,000.00 a year up cannot afford to waste hours of valuable time instructing employees in the thousand-and-one details which the modem secretary is'expected to know. Bchool of Secretarial Science. Mr. O. A. Balcomb came with ua June 1, 1922, as a director of the new school of Secretarial Science. Mr. Balcomb is a man of superior mental attainments, a man of broad, general education, and a breadth of experience that is not usually found in any one individual. Mr. Balcomb is an expert shorthand writer and re­ porter and is recognised as being one of the most efficient and capable instructors in America today. In bringing Mr. Balcomb to Battle Creek, we know that wo are offering an opportunity to the young people of this vicinity to obtain a tralning along tho Stenographic and Advanced Secretarial Science lines not to be found elsewhere. LET MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE TRAINING SHOW THE WAY TO SUCCESS The high-salaried executives of tomorrow-are selected from those who have the ability and the special training to do the work that is to be done. "Every office and every business organization is divided into two groups—those who di­ rect the business—the sales and accounts—-and those who carry out these directions. Those who carry out the directions are the assistant executives—stenographers, account­ ants, bookkeepers, confidential secretaries, assistants, etc. Aa changes take place or as business expands, these assistant executives grow into higher executives and better paying positions. Thia la the hlrtory of practically every bl* organisation. Tho directing executive. of today are the assistant executives of yesterday—the etenographere, bookkeeper. and the others who come to the organisation with special training to make them of special nee to the organisation. THE NEW COURSE IN PUBLIC ACCOUNTING and AUDITING was instituted in Michigan Business and Normal College training in August, 1920. Financial, manu­ facturing, general business and public service con­ cerns now employ Internal Auditors and General Accountants in greater number than ever before. These Auditors, Comptrollers and Chief Account­ ants have many times requested us to recommend young people with sufficient training and general knowledge to take positions as Junior Accountants with a view to developing them into higher execu­ tives and accounting positions. This department of training is under the super­ vision of Mr. Chas. Menz, Expert Accountant and Auditor, formerly of Troy, New York, for ten years head of one of the big schools of accounting in New York state. CHARLES MENZ Director of School of Accounting and Business Administration. WE GIVE YOU THIS NECESSARY TRAINING Every year hundreds of young people—some high school graduates, some university graduates, public school teachers, and some with only a grade school education—come here to prepare for just such-positions. They come wholly unfit for positions like these. Yet they leave a few months later with a greatly increased earning capacity. They are able to enter any line of business. They can go to any city in the United States and get a good position. What these hundreds of young people have done—and are doing—.YOU can do. You can prepare for positions like these—both in Civil Service and in Business. YOU can, create a big demand for your services. You have oqly'to enter this School of Executive Science and follow to success the path which thousands of young men and women have taken.

No matter where or how y,ou plant it, it must make the best of surrounding conditions. If it is planted too shallow or too deep, it cannot move itself to tlje proper depth. If it is not properly covered, it cannot, cover itself. Seed must be properly planted before a bumper yield can be expected.

FRENCH’S WHITE LILY is made by a special process of our owp from the very best of Barry County and Michigan Wheat. That is what makes it so rich and enables it to yield the purest, whitest, most fragrant and most wholesome bread, cakes and pastries. We would like to have you compare FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR with any other flour made. We invite you to do this because we know how it will come out—TRIUMPHANT. Perhaps you think you are using good flour now—but ARE YOU 7 You can readily tell by giving FRENCH’S WHITE LILY • trial. Make a batch of bread or biscuits from FRENCH’S WHITE LILY and then a batch from any other flour claimed to be just as good. Then let the family judge. We will abide by the decision because we are confident as to what the decision will be. The family will advise you to buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR and then they will praise your bak­ ing still more. There is no flour made upon which there is so much work done to IMPROVE THE QUALITY as there is upon FRENCH’S WHITE LILY. We have adopted everything that is the very LATEST and BEST, and to further aid us we have all the newest models in flour­ making machinery that the inventive genius of mankind has developed, and PROVED TO BE SUCCESSFUL. . We take PRIDE in our work. We never let the question of EX­ PENSE stand in the way, as was proven a few years ago when we threw out our ENTIRE EQUIPMENT of machinery and REPLACED them with NEW ONES of the VERY LATEST MODELS. We are “On the job” every minute and always studying to find-HOW and WHERE we can improve. If you aro not using FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR why not give it a thorough trial? Every GROCER and ELEVATOR MAN in Barry County soils it, and it is sold with a POSITIVE GUARANTEE that it will be satisfactory to you. c French’s Flour Makes Good Cooks” The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville K.

T,yRARX"PR TTeatings according to the dairy extension de­ partment at the Michigan Agricultural College. Better feeding practice*, in mqxt ease*, will reaalt in aa increase in profit that will more than offset the in­ crease in feed costs. The ease of the Standley Jersey herd st Kalamazoo is cited by M. A. C. Baltr.er dairy extension specialist at M. A. d, as one of the best examples to ba found in last year's records. This herd of nine cows led the Kaiamaaoo cow testing association in 1922 with'an av­ erage of 7,507 pounds of milk and 434 pounds of fat per cow. The 1921 av­ erage of the herd was 5,224 pounds of milk and 310 pounds of fat per cow. The cost of feed in 1921 was 959.20 per eow; the cost of feed in 1922 was 385.42 per eow; showing that each animal was better fod to the extent of 928.22. The average net profitjjygr feed cost in 1921 was 995.20. The average act profit over feed cost in 1922 was |146.07. This shows that the 920.22 worth of extra feed that was given each eow brought back 950.81 extra profit as well ns returning the extra feed eost. Figured on a percentage basis, the "net increase in profit, due to better feeding, waa 53 per cent. Besides pay­ ing for the extra feed, the net gain on the herd in 1922 over 1921 was 9457 J9. “The case of the Standley herd holds true with a good share of tho other dairy herds in the state,” says Mr. Boltxrr. These cows were but waiting to got a chance to do their beat. Dairy­ men will find that it is a good business investment to put more feed into their eows when they will in er ease the profits 53 per cent besides paying for the ex­ tra feed.” BANNER WANT ADVB.

HE Standard Oil Company (Ind­ iana) has announced an immediate reduction in the price of gasoline of 6.6c per gallon applicable throughout the entire territory in which it does business. T The Truth About Gasoline It asserts that the retail prices thus made are below the cost of production and distribution. The Governor of the State of South Dakota, buying distress gasoline below cost of production, and charging against the State no adequate cost of distribu­ tion, is selling gasoline to the public in the State of South Dakota at 16c per gallon. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), operating on its established policy that, the customers who purchase its goods should never be compelled to pay a higher price than that fixed and main­ tained by any competitor, quality and service being duly considered, has met this price. lotion: munieabls diseases, danxtrous public health, and Whereas, tho expenses of ti-----------------care of indigent persona afflicted with dan­ gerous. communicable dileases new l» borne Other State Executives and Officers of municipalities, with entire propriety, have suggested that any prices made in South Dakota be made applicable in their States.

Equipment of the Big-Six Touring Car Many motorists who have always insisted cm the best m every­ thing they buy, have discarded their heavy, bulky, high-ptjccd cars and have replaced them with the Studebaker Big-Six. And they report that, in every way, it represents precisely th^ir conception of what a really fine motor Ofr should be. They are enthusiastic over their all-found . t. the Big-Six because of its dependability, surplus power, extreme comfort for seven passengers, the completeness of its equipment and its fine appearance. * * The series 24 model—the finest Big-Six Studebaker ever built—presents a value unapproached by other cars at any­ where near the price. And its nominal cost of operation is a source of continual satisfaction. Everything for which one can wish in motoring convetdtnce, comfort and utility has been provided even to an extra disc wheel complete with tire, tube and tire cover; handsome nickelplated bumpers, front ynd rear; automatic gasoline signal mounted on instrument board, and many other features. The low price of the Big-gix ia due to large volume, the fact that Studebaker overhead isShared by three models, the manu­ facture of all vital parts in Studebaker plants and Studebaker’s vast physical and financial resources.

Good tanning means long wear WHEATS VALUE MORE THAN DOLLAR TO HEN Cheaper to Feed Wheat Than Com With Present Prices, Says M. A. C. Specialist East Lansing, Aug. 20.—Wheat fad to tho chickens in worth considerably more to tho farmer than wheat sold at the present market price, according to C. M. Ferguson, poultry specialist at the Michigan Agricultural College. Whole wheat may be substituted for com in both the scratch feed and dry mash, says Mr. Ferguson, who has mod­ ified the rations being fed at the M. A. C. poultry plants. An excellent serfitch feed that is being used at the college, is made of throe parts wheat and one part corn, in place of equal parts of wheat and corn. But the largest saving in substitu­ tion, he says, comes in grinding the wheat, and substituting whole wheat in the dry mash for the bran atfd mid­ dlings usually fed. The old formula for the standard dry mash was equal parts of bran, middlings, oorn meal, ground osts and meat scrap The new formula ,now t the college poultry plants, ___ ____ mended to all farmers with a dollar a bushel wheat on their hands, is: two parts of ground whole wheat, and oas part each of corn meal, ground oats and meat scraps. The whole wheat increases the feed­ ing value of the maah, and it is a well known fact that the feeding of wheat increases the egg production. Each hundred weight of wheat used saves buying that much bran and Middlings. With middlings at 140.00 per too, wheat has a substitution value of more than 11-20 per bushel for poultry School Shoes with More Wear ERE’S the big shoe news of the year—EndicottJohnson has developed a new leather toughen­ ing process which makes E-J Boys' and Girls’ Shoes wear much longer.

Over 20 drove over from Lake Odessa, and hun­ dreds come from every quarter of Barry county to sec what Pcnnoek hospital was like. Every one was surprised nnd gratified with its unexcelled appoint­ ments nnd equipment. There are larger but no better hospitals than tho new Pennock. . The daj^ was auspicious. Under the direction of thnt master hand nt such a proposition, J. T. Lombard, the grounds had been beautifully graded, the walks laid and the entranees con­ structed. Tho seeding has been done, and when the green carpet appears, with the fine trees in front, and the beautiful grounds of the state fish hatchery to the north and west, Pen­ nock hospital will have a setting that cannot be surpassed. The hospital building is colonial in architecture, with three floors and a high, well lighted, well ventilated base­ ment. It is of shaped red brick, prac­ tically fire proof in construction. Th» mastic floors reduce noises to the mini­ mum. A largo electric elevator, easy of access from outside as well as in­ side the building, reaches every story and tho basement. The operating room is in the northwestern corner of tho third story, is large, well lighted and ventilated. The operating table, tho electric lighting and all equipment of this most important feature of the hospital represent tho last word in every detail. The same can be said of the sterilizing room.

From tho village limits of Nashville tho high­ way will be paved to connect with the brick pavement of that town.

GOLF CONTEST STARTED AT COUNTRY CLUB Members and Families Assem­ bled at Club House Monday and Had Pleasant Day Monday was a great day at the Has­ tings Country Club grounds, when the local Walter Hagens started a contest for tho silver cup presented by Fred Hill. It was agree! that the sixteen highest should enter an elimination con­ test for tho cup and this will be finished later. Those who were not numbered among the sixteen will also enter an elimina­ tion contest for the consolation prizes, and these likewise will be contested later. Contests were also played by the ladies and the process of elimination will be followed until the winners are known. Pot luck dinners and suppers were ehjoyed by the largo number present and tho evening was spent in cards and dancing. Altogether it was a most de­ lightful, enjoyable day, fully in keeping with several others that have been spent at the Club.

The trial of a criminal seems like a game of chance with all the chances in favor of the criminal and, if he escapes, he seems to have the sympathy of a sporting public." Anyone who will stop nnd think for n moment will see thnt there is a great amount of truth in ex-Presidcnt Taft’s statement, and bceauso of his life-long connection with the practice of law, no man in the country is better quali­ fied by experience to form an accurate opinion, and to offer such a criticism. Last week the American Bar Associa­ tion held its annual convention in the city of Minneapolis, Minn. At that convention it was pointed out that in England and Wales, where capital pun­ ishment is inflicted and where crimin­ als are brought to speedy justice, .there were but 63 murders committed last year, while in the United States last year where tho death penalty is not 'imposed there were 9500 MURDERS committed. In other words with per­ haps three or four times tho population of England and Wales, yet we have MORE THAN 15C TIMES AB MANY MURDERS. Something is dead wrong. There is no question but what thous­ ands of lives ere taken every year be­ cause of the mild punishment that crim­ inals KNOW they will receive if they are found out. Just as long as a mur­ derer KNOWf that if he is convicted he will only have to serve 14 years in prison and will again receive his liber­ ty. he will take a chance on committing crime, auuniug mm at mirai us w mi only be deprived of his liberty for 14 years. Covering a long period of years it has been found that 14 years is the time that the average murderer spends in prison—then he is paroled or par­ doned. But if a man, with murder in his heart, KNEW that if he took an­ other's life, and was convicted, he would have to hang or go to tho elec­ tric chair, it surely would cause him to think tho matter over very carefully, and 140 times out of 150 would cause him to give it up. At least that’s the way it works out in England and Wales, and there is no reason why it wouldn’t do tho same here. , There is no question at all but what tho mild penalties wo inflict, and tho long drawn out prosecutions of cases arc an encouragement to crime and criminals and very largely responsible for the rapid growth of crime of ovary kind. Too often when tho criminal has great wealth or political influence, the ease is permitted to drag on and -on, over a period of several years, and then it is dropped—tho wealth or the politieal influence has got in its deadly work. Our criminal laws, as they nrc todny, arc really an encouragement to the commission of crime as a profession. That is 'especially true in the larger cities, where gangs of young mon, in speedy automobiles, hold up pay-roll cars, bank messengers, registered mails, and others and they "got away with it." Sometimes this loot runs way up into tho thousands of dollars, and occa­ sionally into the hundreds of thousands. If these fellows perchance do-not kill anyone, and are caught nnd convicted, the chances are that they will receive a sentence of three to five years, with "time off" for good behavior, and then they can return to their old line of work unless they have saved enough out of their stolen "swag" so that it will not bo accessary. But criminal lawyers, and crooked police officers often see that this is not possible. In fact they are often the ones who do not care to see the present laws chang­ ed to any extent, because it would in­ terfere with their annual receipts too. much. Information furnished by police and court clerks in 48 largest cities in os many states, show that while from 1910 to 1922 our population had increased 14;9 per cent, the criminal population had increased 16.6 per cent during those <ine 12 years. This is certain proof that the criminal clas^’is increasing faster than our- population, as far as percentage is concerned. There is no question bnt what our lax law system, which the American Bar Association, composed of tho best legal minds in tho country, admits trad would Hko to sec remedied, is responsible for a lot of the Ex-Gov. Whitman, of New York, was chairman of a special committee on law enforcement at tho Minneapolis meet­ ing of the American Bar Association. In urging that the whole code of crim­ inal law practice, in every state in the union, bo rewritten so that the.penalty of the law might be swift, sure and cer­ tain, he called attention to the fact that last year in the great city of Lon­ don, England, there were but nine "first degree" murders and all of them were solved. In New York Inst year there were 260 murders nnd but' three of them solvod. Chicago had 137 mur­ ders. . In bringing about any change in our law system, people generally have n duty to perform in getting behind it and urging the law-makers and those in authority. Any law doesn’t amount to much unless it does have public, sentiment behind it, that will demand its enforcement. But the increase of crime, and of the criminal classes, has reached a point where a change in our criminal low system is imperative and it cannot come too soon. , PARISH PICNIC WAS ENJOYABLE AFFAIR Was Attended by Over 200— Picnic Dinner, Games and a Fine Tijne The Parish picnic came off as sched­ uled at tho fair grounds Wednesday. Despite the fact that vacation time took many from the city, and tho busy sea­ son kept ninny at homo on tho farm, there was a crowd of over 200 present, and they sure had one good time. Social visits preceded the sumptuous picnic dinner. After that came com­ munity singing led by Rev. M. E. Hoyt, and a'flne spirited address by Congress­ man John C. Ketcham. Then followed games nnd sports—quoit pitching, ball playing, etc. It was the unanimous judgment of those present that a sum­ mer out-of-doors picnic ought to be an anniinl Pariah event, and judging from the splendid spirit of this one, it will be a feature which will be enjoyed to tho fullest every year.

NORTH NASHVILLE. WEST MICHIGAN FAIR Mr. and Mra. Frank Hart and Mr. WILL OPEN SEPT. 17 and Mra. Arthur Han mdtorod to Day­ Management Claims One of the Finest Exhibit! Ever Shown in Western Michigan Everything will be in ship-shape for what is expected to bo the biggest fair in the history of Grand Rapids when the gates swing open September 17, for The West Michigan State Fair which will run through five days and nights. Many of the needed improvements arc being made on the grounds and build­ ings; the most noticeable being the fine new 2000 capacity Circle A Bleachers which will be erected at tho north end of the grand stand, an addition will bo built to the poultry building which for the post three years has been inadequate to house tho splendid showing of poul­ try, rabbits, eavios and pigeon*. Two of the large exhibit buildings have been re-roofed during the past month and barrels of white paint will freshen up tho various exhibit building*. The premium list of which six thou­ sand copies are being distributed is most attractive with many new and interest­ ing features. Premiums have been sub­ stantially increased in many of the de­ partments as it is the desire of the fair management to extend every possible assistance to tho greatest number of people interested in livestock and agri­ culture in the state. Among the new feature* thi* year arc the Michigan Championship Horae Shoe Pitching Tournament, the Grange Baseball Tournament, Cow Testing As­ sociation Sale, Fox display, Organiza­ tion, Industrial and Institutional ex­ hibits. The free attractions have never been of such magnitude; the vaudeville is liberal and of the best procurable, gorgeous fireworks pageants will be pre­ sented every night, horse races every afternoon md thu airplane and balloon will vic with esch other in daring stunts. .. . DELIGHTFUL RENDITION OF PAGEANT SUNDAY EVE. About twenty-five young people from the Welcome Corners Methodist church gave the pageant, “The Rights Of A Child” at the Methodist church in thia eity, to a good sized congregation Sun­ day evening. The young people took their part* well and refleeted credit up­ on themselves and those who trained them, as it is no easy matter to prepare a thing of that kind. The value of religion* education in the home was elctrly emphasized throughout the pageant. Following the program, Dr. Whitehouse gave a splendid sermon on "The Rotation of Christian­ ity to Child Value*.” Next Sunday evening a series of pic­ ture* will be shows preceding the ser­ mon, notice of which win be ’ found elsewhere. ‘ ton, Ohio, Thursday for a visit with relatives.

These Standard officials, although they contend that the present prices do not properly reflect the costs of production, refining and dis­ tribution, plus a reasonable profit, were willing, at my request, to do one of two things—raise the price of gasoline imme­ diately in the State of South Dakota where it would represent a six and six• tenths cent reduction over former prices, or maintain, for the time being, sixteen cent gasoline in the State of South Dakota, using Mitchell as a base. "After due consideration, the Standard Oil officials were asked by the governor to maintain the present price of16 cents for the time being. I wish to accept full responsibility for this situation ana state that Standard Oil, by deed and act, is working in fullest co-operation with the governor of this state and therefore can in no respect be blamed for 16 cents gasoline from this date. T realize that the independents who have viciously assailed and attacked me will raise bitter complaint against this condition. However, after due con­ sideration and investigation, I wish to say that if the former gasoline prices of this state were excessive, the tndependefits of this state were just as respons­ ible for that condition and were just as eof taking excess profits as was ard OiL “At no time during the period which former gasoline prices prevailed did any independent of this state raise one objec­ tion or bring one complaint to this office in an effort to bring about any reduction in price but they were perfectly willing to profit to the fullest extent be made against tion, but in view of the fact that gasoline can be purchased at various refineries today for approximately seven cents a gallon, it will not work injury to the public cause if the Independents are forced for the time being to do business on a small margin of profit There is no particular reason why the State Govern­ ment should guarantee to the Independ­ ent Oil Dealers of this state, at least for • the time being,fixed profits,especially in view of the fact that they were perfectly willing and were a party to take ex­ cessive profits ftom the people.” This clearly defines the position which the Standard Oil Com controversy.

As to industry, the aim of the survey, according to Guy A. Henry, general di­ rector of the Council, is to disclose the relation between defective vision and tho efficiency of tho nation’s millions of workers. As to education, it is pur­ posed to ascertain what steps have been taken by the school to measure the ex­ tent of poor eye sight and to make ef­ fective preventive provision. The Eyesight Conservation Coun­ cil’s survey, marking the start of the rcAcareh program recently adopted by the Hoard of Directors, ha* sot out to reveal the effect of incorrect vision up­ on production. It has prepared a questionnaire designed to show increase in individual performance, decrease in accidents, increase inproductiun and de­ crease in spoilage. The extent of color blindness, tho number of blixfd in one cyo, the number totally blinded, hours lost duo to eye accidents, equivalent wages for lost time, use of goggles, cost of oyo protection eervice, nnd total number of eye injuries arc other objec­ tives. This questionnaire has been sent out to the industrial and commercial estab­ lishments located in tho principal dtios of Michigan, including Sault Bte. Marie, Benton Harbor, Calumet, Ish­ peming, Jackson, Midland, Three Riv­ ers, Saginaw and Pontiac. The Council will also endeavor to show “to 'what extent is any effort be­ ing made to place in suitable jobs thoso workers who have been permanent­ ly or temporarily disabled because Of eye injuries,” and whether any at­ tempt is being made to carry out the National Safety Code for the Protec­ tion of the Head and Eyes of Indus­ trial Workers as prepared by tho U. 8. Bureau of Standards. In tho school survey, the Council is ttying to reveal what provisions are be­ ing made to eliminate glare from un­ shaded light sources, windows, polish­ ed surfaces, blackboards, etc. One of the most importint questions to which tho Council seeks to provide satisfac­ tory answer is the relation of defective vision of retardation. The Council’s school survey extends to practically the entire Union. A ques­ tionnaire has been prepared and sent to schools and colleges in numerous Mich­ igan cities, including East Lansing, Kal­ amazoo, Marquette, Mount Pleasant, Ypsilanti, Allegan, Benton Harbor, Blissfield, Cadillac, Caro, Dowagiac, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Chesaning, Char­ lotte, Evart, East Tawas and Frank­ ford. Also, Gladwin, Hastings, Ionia, Kalkaska, Lake City; Lapeer, West Braneh, Ludington, Dntanagon, St. Johns, Mancelona, Marshall, Ma«on, Onaway, Standish, Stanton and Traverse City. Previous investigation, it is stated, has revealed alarming conditions of vision which must be\fSfiedIcd if na­ tional physical deterioration is to be avoided. .The Hoover Committee on Elimination of Waste in Industry of the Federated ‘American Engineering Societies found that industrial waste was due in considerable measure to faulty vision. It is estimated that 25,­ 000,000 gainfully employed Americans aro afflicted. Tho Eye Sight Conservation Council is conducting a national movement for tho conservation of vision in the schools. Statistics covering many years show that nine out of every tea persons over twenty-one usually have imperfect sight. Above forty it is almost impossible to find a man or woman with perfect sight. It was learned by tho examination of several thousand school children in one of our large cities that *ixty-six per cent of them had defective vision. NORTH HOPE.

This company was founded ni 1896, and upon the safe old-fashioned policy of doing a few things well rather than many things moderately well. Instead of manufacturing a long line of farm im­ plements they make just two machines, and in these they hake specialized. This i is why the name Rosenthal has come to mean much to farmers, why they trust a machine that bears the Rosenthal trade­ mark. Below are some of the Special Fea­ tures that go to Make the Rosenthel Pop­ ular:— • Separation of Shelled Com—Com ac­ cidentally shelled, is separated from the fodder by a shaking sieve. The move­ ment of the shaker elevates the fodder to the blower. The shelled com passes through the sieve to the bottom of the shaker and over another sieve through which the blower draws the air, thereby ------ ,— ---------------com and permitting sand and dirt to drop out The shelled . com is delivered to the rear ot the ma­ chine and into a basket Absolutely Safe—The feeder stands in front facing the machine and feeds the com stalks downward into tlje hoppers. Broken-up com stalks and waste and cleaning are simply fed into the hopper on top of the rollers. All working parts of the machine-are carefully protected and absolutely safe to operate. Powerful Construction and Simple— The upper end of the rollers is for snap­ ping purposes. Each roller is fitted with two interchangeable steel channels, which can easily be replaced when worn, thereby making the snapping portion of the rollers j ust as good as new. The low­ er portion of the rollers is fitted with husking pegs. Each roller is solid and has a £-inch steel shaft clear through the center. All the gears and pinions are made of steel. GOODYEAR BROS.

Baek of it stretches virgin forest— And in the front yard is a tall flag polo— And on that flag pole the Stars and’ Stripes, tho American flag at half mast— Proclaiming to the world that here ia a home in which thero is love of country; patriotism; reverence for our president who died in the public service doing his duties. -— Back in the foothills of the Cascade* there is a log house of a settler who, with his wife and their children, is hewing out of tho forest a home. A^id this humble homesteader hns set up close to their cabin in tho clearing, a flag pole from which floats tho flag at half mast. ' President Coolidge, when ho was officially notified, at Northampton, date of his party for the office of Vice­ President, used tho following words in dosing his speech of acceptance, July 27, 1920: “We have been taking counsel td gc'ther concerning the welfare -of Amer­ ica. We hnvo spent much time’ discuss­ ing the affairs of government yet most of the great concourse of people around me hold no public office, expoet to hold no public office. Still in solemn truth they aro the government, they aro America. Wo shall search in vain in legislative halls, executive mansions, and the chambers of tho judiciary for the greatness or tho government of our country. Wc shall behold thoro but a reflection, not a reality; successful in proportion to its accuracy. In a free republic a great - government is the product of a great people. They will look to themselves rather than govern­ ment for success. The destiny, the greatness of America lies around the hearthstone. If thrift nnd industry aro taught there, and tho example of self sacrifice oft appears, if honor abide there, and high ideals, if there the build, ing of fortune be subordinate to tho building of character, America will live in security, rejoicing in an abundant prosperity nnd good government at home, and in peace, confidence and re­ spect abroad. If these virtues be ab­ sent there is no power thnt can supply .these blessings. Look well then to the hearthstone, therein all hope for Amer­ ica lies.n Mr. Coolidge was visualizing the kind of homes repratented by the two men­ tioned above, where the Stars and Stripes floated at half mast; humble homes, but filled with simple faith and love nnd respect nnd honor—homes rep­ resenting the common people of this grant country; tho people who arc the government. So long as our government rests there, no power can shako it. “At night returning, every labor sped, He sits him down, the monarch of n shed: ■ Smiles by his cheerful fire, nnd round surveys His children’s looks, thnt brighten at tho blaze; While his loved partner, boastful of her hoard, Displays her cleanly platter on the board.” —Goldsmith. ^Ybu’d hardly believe it / ET it’s true that a usual serving of Post Toasties, improved Cam Y Flakes, costs less than a cent and real worth The YELLOW and RED Post to keep these delicious flakes “crackly-crisp.” Post Toasties improved.

It continues to set the pace in the amount of value for the money invested. No radical departure from approved design has been attempted. There's nothing experimental about it—everything of recognized merit. Every vital unit nas proved its satisfaction in the public use. No matter how much monej-wou expect to invest in a car, by all means see this Light-Six Tou. ing car, ride in it—and drive it yourself. It is then that you realize the difference. Comparison with other cars coating more —or less—will provide convincing proof of its greater dollar-for-dollar value, ita depend­ able performance, ample power, extreme comfort, and many other desirable features. The Light - Six is practically free from vibration because Studebaker machines the crankshaft and connecting rods on all sur­ faces.

For tho congress rep­ resented a beginning’of world-wide co­ operation for limiting the beverage use of alcohol Not many years ago any such preparations Tor a concerted at­ tack on tho. drink ovil would have been regarded by most observers as a uto­ pian dream and by not a few as an in­ excusable attempt at the invasion of personal rights.---------------- ' —* ;~ The world has come a long way in a short timo in this matter of limiting tho right of individuals to indulge bad habits at th* expense of the public wcliate; but there are still many long journeys to bo made before a coiumun meeting ground is reached. Tho United States, oldest,of, true demoeradeo, i* committed to prohibitjan of beverage alcohol Norway pro­ mbits hirfh-power liquors and puts no limit on tho consumption of low-content Wines and beer. The Danes tax all al­ coholic drinks so heavily that few can afford to drink, and therefore few can afford to follow* the trade of selling li­ quor. In Sweden the state strictly con­ trols tho sale of liquors but doos not prohibit them. Many different means of control are now in experimental effqet among our Canadian neighbors. More sad more nations are studying the methods of tho pioneers, and adopting for themselves the particular solution which they think will be most effective with thei? own people- According to present indications, by another halfeentury there will be few countries where man can freely'and legally bestialise himself with alcohol. An assemblage like the Copenhagen congreu is mostly educational at first. It advertises a cause; it airs differences and diteuMtnt a hundred irreconcilable methods of limitation suited more or less roughly to as many different na­ tional temperaments. It Is aclf-appointcd and has no authority; hence it has no responsibility. Even on such ob­ vious grounds of common interest ns joint action of states prohibiting or limiting the sale of aleoholic drinks to combat a boycott by wine-growing states, or a pledge to respect one an­ other's customs regulations, there has been no agreement so far. Tho people of the United States will find it especially advantageous to take note of the world's increasing interest in prohibition. CARLTON CENTER. Mr. and Mra.

Bryant of Knlnmatoo, sec­ retary of the Michigan Good Roads As­ sociation, while in Lansing a few days ago commented on -tho road situation in the state and the sentiment of Mich­ igan people regarding taxation systems to raise fund* for highway purposes. Mr. Bryant say* Michigan is strong­ er than ever for tho gasoline tax. His duties take him well over the state, and he says that sentiment indicates to him that, far from interest in the gasoline tax dying down with tho adjournment of the legislature it is stronger than “I fe& confident in asserting," said Mr. Bryant “that fully 70 per cent of tho people of this state are for the gas­ oline tax* a* the fairest and surest way of raising the money needed for our roads. “Opposition to tho gasoline tax is coming only ■from ono source—those high in authority in the Detroit Auto­ mobile Association, and yet it is my be­ lief that so far a* the entire member­ ship ia concerned, it is for the tax rath­ er than against it. Tho managers of the* association confess that they have never submitted the matter to tho rank nnd file of tho club. “Michigan is fast spreading knowl­ edge of it* good roads. Estimates vbich I consider reliable and aro borne oat by my own observation, load mo to believe there are fully 200,000 visitors hero in Michigan each day, through tho sum­ mer, for a period of 10 weeks. A gaso­ line tax would reach all that number, nnd they would not object to it cither, for they come from states where tho gas tax is in forcb. “Michigan is bound to need much more money for its roads. I do not think a cont more of it should conic from a general property tax. General property is taxed now more than it ought to stand."

If I should express the opinion of a layman which it must be admitted, is not valuable, I should say about four per cent of alco­ holic content. ‘ * However, a* the law was passed in its present form, I think it would be a mistake to amend it in favor of light wines and beer.” Judge Gary said that the Steel Cor­ poration, through its officers and plant superintendents in many part* of the country, had made a close observation of the effects of prohibition, even before the adoption of the Federal amendment end the enactment of the Volstead act, by watching the result* of prohibition laws in the States. “Of course, there are always some persons who will object to the passage or enforcement of any penal or prohib­ itory law and, as a rule, they are the men who do the most talking on the sub­ ject,’* Judge Gary said. “I have no hesitation in saying with emphasis that the Volstead act aad State laws for pro­ hibiting the manufacture and sale of in­ toxicating liquors have been very bene­ ficial to the industry of this country and to the workmen connected with it and their families. ‘ ‘ While there have been violations of these law*, particularly in the larger cities, while there ha* been illicit man­ ufacture of ’hootch,’ so-called, and while there has been more or loss boot­ legging, yet a* a total result of the pro­ hibitory laws there ha* been a large de­ crease in the use of liquor, at least in the vicinity of our various plant* throughout the country. “There'ha* been a noteworthy de­ crease in the number of jails, asylums and hospital*. There ha* been an in­ crease, and a large increase, in the back balances of savings deposits. The health of the people has improved. The fami­ lies of workmen ar* better clothed and better treated. The attendance of the workmen and their families at church, of tho children in school* and of all of them at elean, legitimate, healthful re­ sort* and places of amusement, has ma­ terially increased. “The sale and use of automobile* has been largely increased by the fact that a large majority of the workmen now prefer to take excursions with their families by automobile instead of spend­ ing their time at the saloons or other place* and wasting their money in prac­ tices that are physically injurious in­ stead of beneficial. “At a meeting of steel men recent­ ly, it was stated by one of those present that tho families of the workmen in the steel mills would vote with practical unanimity in favor of total prohibition, although some of the husbands might, perhaps, be in favor of the sale of beer and light wines. “All in all, however, there is no 'doubt that a large preponderance of the workmen of this country are in favor of tho prohibition of the sale and use of all intoxicants from the standpoint of good morals, good economics and peaceful social relation*. “We ahould remember constantly that if any law is broken and tho offend­ er is unpunished or unprotected, some other,person may decide to take the same course with reepoct to another law. It is a simple but important fact that the only safety of thi* country is found in the adoption and enforcement of laws which are calculated to protect all tho people and which discriminate against none.” Judge Gary added that a striking ex­ ample of the favorable effects of pro­ hibition had been shown in tho improve­ ment in conditions in Birmingham and other steel towns in Alabama after the passage of a strict State prohibition law a year or two before nation-wide prohib­ ition. Judge Gary said that the acquisi­ tion of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by the Stool Corporation had been followed by a rapid expansion of it* business, the Steal Corporation ex­ pending about >150,000,000 in develop­ ment and improvements. This expansion, he said, brought about rapid increase in population, and some of the Alabama steel cities took on the characteristics of frontier mining towns. Crime increased; there were shootings in the streets and a general looienesa of action on the part of many of the steel mill employes. With the passage of the Alabama State prohibition law all this changed, he said. A new jail, which had been built and filled, became empty and had been converted to other use*. The families of the workers, both white and negro, are prosperous. The children are receiving good schooling, and even a large hospital, which the corporation built in Birmingham, filled before prohibition, is now half empty. MABTIN CORNERS. Remember th* L.

C., Sept. 17.—Renew­ al of its annual safety contests, in which 811,500 will be given away in prizes, was announced today by tho Highway Education Board. Training children in habits of high­ way safety is the principal task of the J923 safety campaign, it is said, but through tho children it is hoped that tho principles of traffic regulation and safety education will be impressed upon adults, both pedestrians and drivers alike. The third annual safety campaign takes tho form of two contests, one among elementary school pupils, and an­ other among elementary school teachers. Approximately flvo hundred state and national prises are to bo given for the best essays and lessons written. Tho prizes offered are the gifts of the Na- tional Automobile Chamber of Com­ merce, which is desirous of reducing tho number of accidents and fatalities due to traffic mishaps. . In the two previous yean approxi­ mately 400,000 pupils and 50,000 teach­ ers havo participated each autumn. It it believed by board officials that the cumulative effect of these contests, and the increasing attention given to safety education will result in even a greater number of participants this vear. Tho subject of the essays which chil­ dren are invited to write is “Highway Safety Habits I Should Learn.” Essays, ns last year, are not to exceed Ave’hun­ dred words in length. Those eligible are pupils of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades, who are not more than fourteen years of age. Tho con­ test opens with the beginning of school, and eloses December 4, 1923. Teachers are requested to submit safety lessons on the subject, “Train­ ing Children in Habits of Safety on tho Highways,” The limit suggested is be­ tween 1,000 to 3,000 words. All ele­ mentary school teachers in the eighth and lower grades are eligible to submit lessons. In tho teachers’ contest the first na­ tional award is five hundred dollars and a trip to Washington with all expenses paid. The second national award is three hundred dollars, while the third is two hundred dollars. Tho first national prize for the best essay by pupils is a gold wateh and a trip to Washington with all expenses paid. Tho second and third prizes are tach gold watches, one of slightly great­ er value than the other.

M. Olin, State Health Commissioner. Two nurses have been assigned to counties of widely differ­ ing conditions for the purpose of prac­ tically demonstrating what education ean do in this work. Bays Dr. Olin, “One of these coun­ ties has been selected because it has tho problems of isolation, cut over lands, foreign groups, deep snows, mid­ wives and but four doctors. Three of these are in tho principal city. The coun. ty has high infant mortality and never has had a county public health nurse. The other county also has a relatively high infant and maternal mortality rate. It is a fairly populous county, mostly American born, well supplied with physicans and with but few midwives. First principles to be observed in the former county will be to render nursing aid to mothers in their confinement and to teach people to take care of them­ selves. Good health of the pre-school child will be stressed in the more pop­ ulous county.” Reduction of infant mortality is one of the prime concerns of the nurses. All new birth* will bo investigated and reported, and cam's of sickness re­ ferred to practicing physicians. Records of all pro-school children will be assem­ bled for purposes of observation and comparison. It is tho aim of tho move meat to reach all mothers and expect­ ant mothers for instruction purposes. Group instruction is preferred for the better economy of opportunity it offers for discussion. The resultant economy of time enables the nurse to meet more women. Tho period of time a nurse remains in a county will be determined by tho cooperation she receives from the people. C. iUB MONDAY.

During the past few weeks the wheat situation has been stressed to such sn extent thst many have eome to believe that agriculture faces another condi­ tion similar to 1921. It is an extremely serious matter for the wheat growers, as none can deny, but it does not spell ruin for agriculture or for business. Wheat producers constitute but a small proportion of all farmers. Wheat acreage is but 14 per cent of the arable land of the United States. The value of wheat is approximately 10 per cent of the aggregate value of all crops. Al­ though wheat is down, corn is 49 per cent above 1913, and 40 per cent more than 1922. Cotton is 100 per cent above 1913 and wool is 150 per cent higher. The Department of Agriculture esti­ mates that the farmers thia year will receive 17,829,000,000 for their produce, which is 18 per cent greptor than in 1922. It exceeds 1921 by 40 per cent. Wheat growers alone, of all the toremost crop producers, will receive less than last year. Corn and cotton grow­ ers will receive 40 and 50 per cent more respectively. Measured by aggregate income, these two cIomcs of farmers are five times as important aa the wheat growers. These facta do not indicate any lack of agricultural prosperity this year; they indicate only its uneven distribu­ tion. There are definite causes for tho wheat situation. America has produced a large surplus; other exporting coun­ tries have increased their output; and Europe has produced more, which de­ creases her import demand. Germany, which needs wheat, cannot pay with her ruined credit. Too much of our wheat comes from the one-erop sections, which are now facing the results of tho single crop policy against which they have long been warned. Tho factors contributing bio of correction. HIOHBANK. Last Week’s Letter.

Madden of tho bouse committee on appropriations pro­ poses a revision of income taxes down­ ward, all tho way from the smallest taxable income to the largest. To that end tho support of Secretary of . the Treasury Mellon and of a majority in congress ia expected. Opposition from the La Follette group of radicals, who want restoration of the excess profits tax, is-nntieipated. The theory of income tax reduction, ns elucidated by Secretary Mellon when he backed legislation for elimination of tho excess profits tax and reduction of the higher brackets of the surtax, ia sound. Experience has proven it so. Mr. Mellon said that the government would receive a greater total tax income from tho reduced tax schedules than it would from tho higher taxes, because the higher taxes drove capital, which should be both income and tax produc­ ing, into tax exempt securities. With lower taxes this capital could be ex­ pected to remain in productive com­ mercial enterprises, tho income from which would return taxes. It worked as he predicted. The gov­ ernment has received a greater total income tax revenue from tho lower schedules than it did from tho higher, and at the same time tho genera! pros­ perity of the country has been stimu­ lated by investment of capital in com­ mercial or industrial enterprise, There ia, of course, a limit below which reduction of the percentages of income tax schedules will reduce tho total of taxes received, but recent ex­ perience indicates that that point has not yet been reached. As long as high incomb taxes tend to drive otherwise productive capital into tax exempt se­ curities it may not be reached. At the same time this stimulation of the sale of tax exempt securities is adding to taxpayers’ burdens by increasing local and state taxes. A point of balance, at which there shall be the maximum total of income tax returns with a minimum burden upon businesses and individuals taxed, should bo found. The search for that point now is through reductions. It is fair that such reductions should apply all along tho line. The program sug­ gested, therefore, will bo watched with interest and approval by the mass of taxpayers in this country. COUNCIL PBOCEEDTNOS. City Council met pursuant to the fol­ lowing call.

But can they grow new ones? If you don’t give your birds feather-making feed, they will drain their bodies for feather-making material. The molt will be prolonged, and the birds will not lay next winter. Chowder makes feathers. Feed twice as much Chowder as Hen Chow, and your hens will molt quickly and naturally. They will be ready for early fall laying. HASTINGS, MICH. Headquarters for PURINA SATURDAY SPECIAL!

More than 20,001 vessels have passed through the water­ way since that time, with an acmacrate cargo of 84,000,000 tons, and paying tolls of about 876^500,000. A compari­ son of the figures for the first year of operation with those of last year shows how tho canal had become more and more one of the chief arteries of ocean travel. The passage was made by 1,311 vessels the first year, with a tonnage of 5,860,000, and paying tolls of 84,170,­ 000. Last year 4,272 ships used the waterway, having a tonnage of 21,210,­ 000, and paying tolls of 818,975,000. "The Panama Canal has not only been of great service to the country in affording a means of water transporta­ tion for this large volume of commerce, but it relieved an emergency at the time when the transcontinental rail­ roads were suffering from congestion of traffic. More than that, tho Pana­ ma Canal has been a constant assur­ ance to the people of the country that in case of an emergency arising out of international differences, it would be possible to transfer ships of the navy from one coast to the other without the long delay that was necessary at the time when the famous battleship Ore­ gon made its record breaking voyage from the Pacific coast to the harbor of Santiago. "As we consider those figures let ns remember that the Panama Canal was a Republican project from start to finish. It was conceived by Republicans, the appropriations for its construction were made by Republican Congresses, and the work was carried on under the di­ rection of Republican Preeidenta. Re­ ports of the Congressional debates that preceded the approval of the project reveal the bitterest opposition from some of the Democratic leaden." Dotroa cobnzss. Mr. ud Mn.

The day the family packs up bag-andbaggage aad moves into the country and, similarly, the day of its return to town no longer holds gastronomic long­ ings and culinary disappointments. In the old days, if cooking fuel was, for any reason, nonexistent, a cheerless meal,' cooked possibly over a spirit lamp, was your welcome upon arrival home. Nowadays, with transmission lines ariss-erossing the country, and electric­ ity waiting the pressure of a finger, the and parcel of your personal luggage and assure your having a tasty, hot meal within a few moments of your having set foot across the threshold of your abode. When the family includes small ^chil­ dren and there is milk to be warmed or a special diet to be prepared this is a matter of considerable importance. If never before, yonr electric table cook­ ing appliances and your immersion heat­ er are now worth their weight in gold. Bacon and eggs is almost a standard American breakfast dish aad this, with coffee and crisp, golden-brown toast, prepared electrically, constitutes a morning meal whieh is as ambrosia to the gods.

Its membership number­ ing several millions—-scattered all over tho country, organized for the most pert in county chapters, makes it pos­ sible to function at a moment’s notice in time of emergency or disaster. People all over the country have reali­ zed more and more during the past week the necessity for keeping up an active membership in the Red Cross. To this end, members of the organization every­ where are urging a large attendance at the Annual National Red Cross Con­ vention which will be held in Washing­ ton, D. C., September 24-27 inclusive. The time of 18.60 this meeting is purposely placed just before the annual Roll Cull for members so that delegates to the convention may have the inspiration and opportunity of learning first hand what the Red Crostf is doing locally, na­ tionally and internationally. Walter Dhvidson, Manager Central Division, American Red Cross, Chicago, reports that the ten states under his jurisdiction are more eager than over before to send delegates to this con­ vention. American citizens are apprec­ iating more all the time that we need just such an organization as the Red Cross has proved itself to bo in this emergency. They want to have a part in welding the Red Cross firmly into tho life of the nation.' An interesting and diversified pro­ gram has been arranged on which dele­ gatus will hear President Coolidge, Judge John Barton Payne, Chairman American Bed Cross, and other promi­ nent statesmen speak and tho various1 services of the organization discussed. Special music and entertainment will be offered, officers elected and commit­ tees appointed.

OBITUARY. Balzer Brainard Richards, son of Mr. Edwin L. and Caroline A. Richards, was born in Jsckson Co., Leoni Township, May 9, 1849, and passed away at Col­ umbus, Ohio, Monday Sept. 3, 1923. He was married to Mary Allerding of( Has­ tings in 1890. Mr. Richard*’ life wa* deeply saddened by the death of his wife in 1892 leaving nn infant son and only child, Brainard Ralzey. When ho was four years o£ age his parent* moved to Prairieville Tbwnship. Bo began | school life at Pine Lake School and later attended school in Kalamazoo. Beginning nt the ago of eighteen years' he followed teaching for several years in Jackson and Barry counties. He served successfully two terms (1888­ 1892) as Register of Deeds of Barry eounty. Engaged in insurance, he has resided in Hasting* since that time until three years ago when suffering from the effects of a stroke of paraly­ sis he went to live with his son in Ohio. Mr. Richards was an unselfish and af­ fectionate husband and father—a kind and helpful citizen and friend whose integrity nnd loftiness of character were always beyond reproach. Beside* his son Brairaru he is survived by four sisters, Mra. Stephen Smith of Marion, Mich., Mra. J. C. Brny of Woodland, Mich., Mrs. J. K. Flower residing in Ross Township, Effa Richards of MilwuukeC, Wis., and two brothers James of- Kalamnron, Mich.,- nnd Warren of Augusta, Mich. Funeral services wero conducted on Thursday at 11:00 o’clock in the Chapel at Riverside Cemetery where he was laid to rest beside his wife. | We Buy Wheat And All Other Grains BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR WHEAT TO SOME OTHER PLACE FIND OUT FROM U§ ABOUT WE PAY THE HIGHEST MARKET THE PRICE.

To buy on this basis would be an injustice to yourself. You can pay several hundred dollars more than the Light-Six price and get a car that represents no greater, if as great, intrinsic value as the Studebaker Light-Six. Or you can pay about the same price as the Light-Six, or less, and get a car that is high-priced when compared with the Light-§ix because it does not repAnd in the Light-Six you enjoy all pendable, six-cylinder performance. You get a beautiful, substantial, wellbuilt, roomy and comfortable car. The practical absence of vibration in the Light-Six is a notable achievement. It is due largely to the fact that the Light-Six crankshaft and connecting rods are machined on all surfaces. This is an exclusive Studebaker practice on cars within hundreds of dollars of the Light-Six price. Stop in and see the 1924 Model Light-Six. Test it for yourself—drive it and make your comparisons. Driving is believing. After seventy-one years of service the name Studebaker enjoys confi­ dence and respect more than ever.

It is really wonderful what it has accom­ plished in the way of reclaiming boys who had headed wrong, and many who had made a long start toward becom­ ing confirmed criminals for life. It has boen tried out long enough now ao that its merits in dealing with a class of young people who were well started on the road to crime, amount to a demon­ stration of effective work for good. Naturally his study of the causes which led boys to go wrong led Mr. Wright to this very reasonable prop­ osition: Why wait until a boy goes wrong before attempting the human engineering that puts him on the right track! Why not so build into his life the principles that make good character have failed.

This company was founded in 1896, and upon the safe old-fashioned policy of doing a few things well rather than mqny things moderately well. Instead of manufacturing a long line of farm im­ plements they make just two machines, and in these they have specialized.

The move­ ment of the shaker elevates the fodder to the blower. The shelled corn passes through the sieve to the bottom of the shaker and over another sieve through which the blower draws the air, thereby cleaning the shelled com and permitting sand and dirt to drop out. The shelled com is delivered to the rear of the ma­ chine and into a basket. Absolutely Safe—The feeder standain front facing the machine and feeds the com stalks downward into the hoppers.

In a log house in Carlton township, Barry county, Michigan, July 3rd, 1840, d daughter was born to Isaac and Han­ nah Messer. She was named Sarah Abigail Messer. Her early memories on which she loved to dwell in her lost years, were of small clearing* in forests then peo­ pled with Indians, bear, deer and wolves. Her achool days wero passed in log school houses; her teachers she soon outdistanced. From her mother’s promptings and an innate desire for more . of life than her surroundings coaid furnish, she early earned sufficient money teaching to provide for her first year at Kalamazoo College where she quickly won the regard of both faculty and students. Means wore forthcoming for the balance of her college course so that in 1863 she finished, the first woman college graduate in Barry coun­ ty. At Kalamazoo College she was con­ verted and joined the Baptist church. At this college also she met her future husband, Griffin Do’Ganno Thurston, to whom she was married May 5th, 1864. From her marriage to the time of her husband’s death in January, 1906, she lived in Sturgis, where the hospital­ ity of her home wns constantly extend­ ed to a wide circle of friends. As an active member of tho Baptist church her influence was always for tho highest good and the labor and fi| naneial contributions of her husband and herself did much to procure for tho church it* present home. Although always busy with family and homo duties she ever made time for active participation in club and educational affairs. After the death of her husband she joined her daughter in Kalamazoo and for the next twelve year* her home was tho meeting place for friend* from church, college and business circles. In 1918 she went with her daughter to make a home with her brother, Ches­ ter Messer, in Hastings, where she died September 18, 1923. There survive of her immediate family two daughters, eight grandchildren and four great­ grandchildren to all of whom her ster­ ling Qualities and winning personality have been a constant joy and inspira­ tion. It ha* been her frequent boast that while she had no worldly wealth sheens rich in her children and their chil'dren. Tho sweetness of her dis­ position, her understanding sympathy, her strength of character end keen in­ terest in all of life endeared her to friends and acquaintances. Mm. Thurston ha* beautifully exem­ plified the art of growing old grace­ fully. Retaining her faculties and her interest in the passing events of the world, possessed of a wonderful mem­ ory, a fund of anecdote* and a keen sense of humor, she was a delightful companion and her conversational pow­ ers unusual. t The world i* better for’ her having lived in it.

While thus engaged, he asked me to observe and then write my own viewpoint of things as I saw them and use the article for your benefit in this week’s paper. I am pleased to do this, and shall endeavor to tell you as completely as words can convey, the impression I received dur­ ing my visit to this beehive of Industry. First of all, the sight was an inspiration to me. I spent seven years in a schoolroom as an instructor and never have I seen demonstrated a greater effort on the part of any one to become perfect in their execution of work than I saw exhibited by those young (and older) people.

Every student was studious, seemed to be "boning in” to a most remarkable degree—the very atmosphere seemed charged with “work" and "hurtle.” A laggard would be as completely out of harmony there as a musician in * boiler shop. “Work” seemed to be the password and "speed" and “accuracy” the destination of every one there. SECOND—Every step in the work of each student was personally checked and corrected by the instructors con­ stantly during the period of Actual Business Practice, which lasted from 2:00 until 4:00 P. M. By this method, it ap­ pears to the writer, no student can form the wrong habit of doing work, because each error is corrected before it tan become a habit. Three instructors were kept busy during the whole period and every student was given personal, in­ dividual instruction and attention. • Words fall to express the real spirit of the place. I can only say in conclusion that the young man or young woman who wishes to prepare for the biggest and best positions in the Busi­ ness World, is mining a long step by not taking advantage of the opportunity offered by Michigan Business 4 Normal College. Many times have I been in the Office of this College when Mr. Argubright, the President, has received a long distance tele­ phone call from eome big institution like the Hudson Motor Car Corporation of Detroit or the Republic Motor Truck Company of Alma, for a graduate Secretary, Accountant, or Bookkeeper, to fill a permanent position with them where there waa a sure chance for advancement If they made good, and usually at a sal­ ary of $25.00 to $40.00 a week to start. Out of the hundreds of calls received each year only a part of them can be filled be­ cause not enough young people take advantage of the opportunitiea offered at thia high-clau educational institution. The College ia nearly filled to capacity at preeent and only a limited number of enrollments are now open for Monday, October 1. v I take this opportunity to thank you for reading thia mes­ sage and I hope what I have said may lead eome young man or young woman to understand more of the wonderful method of training for succeee at this "different” achool—the Michigan Business 4 Normal College, at Battle Creek, Michigan.

Man; realized for the first time that teach Ing is a wonderful art with which on , can not become acquainted in a shot time. This year’s class has proved to b a very industrious one nnd Mrs. Clar has hopes of finishing tho penmansh; work touch earlier than usual. Th , Normalites, however, believe in the maxim, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” consequently all books were deserted Wednesday after­ noon and the class hiked down tho river. Much interest was shown in identifying trees and autumn flowers along the way, but this was not the Normalites main objective. A suitable place was found and a roaring fire was built ia record breaking time. Eighteen happy girls were soon devouring im­ mense quantities of roasted weenies and buna Mildred Moore discovered a new way to open olive bottles but the meth­ od was judged by the class to be eco­ nomically unsound.

The Governor oven silenced the elerk of tha Administrative Board when he started to read the letter from the M. A. C. authoritiBs. It waa evident that either the whole matter had been cat and dried and threshed out in secjet session behind closed d(X>ra or else the Administra­ tive Board ia utterly a one-man prop­ osition, for the six members sat solemn­ ly and supinely by whfile tho Gov«por in deliberate and confident tones Mad into the minutes of the meeting a wordy and carefully prepared state­ ment regarding tho history of the rela­ tions between the two boards. His excellency seemed to forget that two or three of thp six members of the M A. C. Board wire his own personal appointees when he charged them with inefficiency.

C. out of the domain of petty politics.” Certainly, a move to take M. A. 0. out of politics, coming from a political source, is indeed humorous. A polecat cannot unblushingly remark about the aroma of a goat! In concluding his reply, tho Governor deslared that tho previous action of the State Administrative Board In ye- Al .'rioted and if the M. A.

What Is An “Independent?’ HE dictionary says:—An independent is one who exercises his own will or judg­ ment without the guidance or control of others—whether in thought or some sphere of action. T In discussing the petroleum industry, the press and the public use the term "independents" to designate the competitors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The definition quoted exactly fits the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as it neither owes nor acknowledges allegiance to any man or organization. This clearly defines the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as an “independent” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is owned by 41322 stockholders—not one of whom owns as much as 6% of the total stock. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is man­ aged by a Board of Directors of ten men— every one of whom started in a comparatively humble capacity and earned his place on the Board by sneer ability. These men devote their entire time to the business of this Company. While the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) neither owes nor acknowledges allegiance to any man or organization, it is proud to acknowledge its obligation— COMMODIOUS BUILDING rail, AMENDED.

COW TESTING ABSOCIA TIONS AND WHAT THEY DO. In 1906 tho first eow testing associa­ tion in tho U. 8. waA formed among[ the dairy men around Fremont in New­ aygo county, Michigan. The idea was brought to this country from Denmark,> That meals a yearly iaeome of nearly fifty dollars more for each and every .cow in the association, over what it wboid have been without thia aaaoeia The plan of a cow testing association ia tho grouping of the owners of about twenty-sir different herds into an oasociation, and these men hire a man who spends one day on each farm helpi< wtft the dairy problems. This man ia one who ean balance rations, using the feed that is already on tho farm aS tho basis of the ration. In many eases the ehanging of feeding results in many times the cost of the associa­ tion to the farmer. * It helps to spot the good and tho boarder cows. Michigan would make much more money from her dairy bn*inora if tho lowest producing cow# wore eliminated. Almost one out of three of Michigan cows is not oven paying for her feed cost. Why do all tho extra work of taking care of thia one third of our cows, when more money ean be mado from tho other two-thirds I la many instances Michigan cows will produce a' profit, in dollar and cents, if their ration is changed or increased. The cow testing association will help spot them. * Tho testing association is tho only rcHablo way to build up n herd. You know whTch aro your best cows and can raise tho heifer calves from your best eow*. By using a good hull and keep­ ing the daughters of your best cows, you enn expect your future herd to be better than your present. It also gives Su a n’Btem of checking up on your U. If ftis daughters do not produce better than their dams, ho is not a Worthy sire to head your herd. It isn’t a lot of extra work hh the tester comes right to your farm and does all tho weighing, testing and figur­ ing f°r you. Michigan now has 61 associations working and more aro forming every month. Farmers aro beginning to real­ ize that they must look to tho dairy eow for more of their income. Wisconsin, our greatest dairy state, has nearly 150 cow testing associations. Sho is shipping out nearly a carload of tested cow* daily, the major part being grade cowa. Michigan is closer to the eastern market and can obtain this eow business whon buyers can see rec­ ords on the farm. Karl H. Miller. Faith and the Sense*. Hid Faith tn tha People.

McADOOVIAN MANAGE­ MENT A MONSTROSITY equatcly ntfatained during the period of government control is a matter in dispute. On this subject the public is not advised. Probably much testimony must bo taken to settle the question finally and probably never will be set­ tled definitely. The railroads were taken over unexpectedly and they wero rather suddenly returned. Probably no railroad company could demonstrate with any degree of exactness the rela­ tive condition of its property, its road bed, its ties, its stations, its locomo­ tives, its freight cars, its passenger ears, and itg other equipment on the two dnys meptioned. “Mr. McAdoo may present a stack of statistics a mile high but he will never be able to convince the American people that his management of the railroads was either fair to the rail­ roads or to the government” "Fonnor R«reiary of the Trtuor, McAdoo han written a lengthy letter | defending his administration of. the railroads during the war, but his state­ ments tiro so obviously incomplete in some rcspecu that they will gain little credence,” says Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. “There are a few highly important facts of which the public is well aware and on which public condemnation of government control of tho railroads is based.

Persons who advocated thess and similar measures as a protection to native industry, and those who, viewlag them ss simply laying a tax on the consumer for tlie benefit of the l»rwlucer, were in constant dispute. In 1830 an Anti-Corn Law league waa formed to enforce the views of the ad­ vocates of free trade. In 1846 the failure of the potato crop tn Ireland and of the harvest in England brought nbont a repeal of the corn law* The laws absolutely closed the ports against the Importation of'foreign grain.

Mr. Dingley shows, among other things, that the Uaircd States from its very founda­ tion has hail relations with all other civilizod nations through treaties and has been represented by diplomatic offi­ cials nt all the capitals in Europe. Moreover, as he also points out, the United States touched the great powers of Europe in a vital spot upon the announcement of a Monroe Doctrine, which wits certainly p participation in world affairs. Although tho Wt Spain wns precipitated by tho sinking of ono of our battleships in a Spanish hkrbor, yet this war was conducted and its aftermath was guided in ac­ cordance ith humanitarian purposes rather than for selfish national inter- Mr. Dingley might have enumerated other in* tun com in which tho *’ - — - * United States participated in world where our interests were probably no greater than those of many other coun­ tries. Prior to 1854 Japan had'kept her ports closed to the commerce of till other nations. Tho’ United ” ’* ’ States * undertook to conduct negotiations. The result was not only tho termination of Lhe isolation of Japan so far as the Unitori States was concerned, but tho ■polling of the ports of that country to all other nations. Japan has always been grateful for our part in develop­ ing her foreign commerce. For many years during tho early period of our Republic, it had been the custom of all the maritime nations to pay tribute to the Barbnry powers to secure exemption from the depreda­ tions of the pirates. The sending of American battleships to Barbarv ports and the submission of an ultimatum to the authorities there, not only brought about renunciation of all claims to tribute so far as the United States was concerned, but terminated the payment of this tribute by other nation* as well. At tho time of the Boxer Rebellion in China, with its injury to the na­ tionals and the property ... Interests ofother countries,. tlthe United States par ticipated along with other world powers in the restablishmcnt of law and order. The United States made no claim for indemnity, and payments in the nature □f reparations were devoted to the ed­ ucation of citizens of China. The United States has not been iso­ lated in tho post and is not isolated today. The only remotely possible basis for the charge that the United States is isolated ia that it insists upon its'right to determine from time to time the occasion and the nature of our participation in world affairs.

MORE LOAVES OF BREAD And Better Bread EnSLSFi* petition. are required One of Barry county s best cooks, when asked why she preferred FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR to all other brands, made this answer: “Because I can get more loaves of bread out of a sack of French’s White Lily 4nd better bread, too, than with other flours.’’ That an swer will strike you as giving two very strong a nd sufficient reasons for her preference This housewife reached her conclusions from actual results in baking in her own kitchen We can tell you why she obtained such results: First, we use only the best grade of Michigan wheat. Next, our mill has every appliance known to the art of milling for producing an even perfect granulation. That permits every particle of the flour to be reached by the leavening in the bread—so it goes farther than other flours. Third, our mill runs night and day the year round, so that the machinery does not cool down, which insures perfect milling. Fourth, we have the steadiest power known—our own water power Well toward a half century’s experience in producing FRENCH S WHITE LILY FLOUR has enabled us to make a product that sets the pace. More of it is used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. And FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR costs no more than most of the inferior grades; because owning our own plant and water power, and running our mill night and day so reduces the cost that we can furnish a better flour for the money than others. You can buy FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR at every grocery and elevator in Barry county. Order a sack today French*a Flour Makes Good Cooks The Middleville Koller Mills Middleville R.. T.

Sunday's Detroit Free Press mentioned his efforts sev­ eral times, and prediction has been made by experienced football men that be will develop into one of the best men that Michigan has ever turned out. His ability as a punter and drop kicker is recognized on all sides. He is not only able to make long distances, but tho boll that ho kicks scams to have a peculiar spiral to it that is very baffling to tho player who tries to catch ono of them. Another characteristic of “Park’s” that hasn't aroused much comment yet, but is auro to tho more ho plays, is tho fact that ho always “keeps bis head,” and apparently remains calm and collected under the most trying situations. Another most commendable thing about his work is that success doesn't increase the sizo of his hat band. Park isn't a big man in size, compared with some of tho huge hulks thnt are often seen on a football field, but it's a cinch that there won't be any inoro active, lively, plunging 160pounds in any struggle than his.

It is reported too thnt ho stands a good show of making tho U. of M. baseball team, and it shouldn't bo for­ gotten thnt in basket ball ho is a regu­ lar 4 * whiz-bang.” z For all these reasons, Parks’ career in tho athletic world will be watched with especial interest by Hostings peo­ ple. nnd his presence in any line-up will have a special attraction for Has­ tings people. .

WEAR ONLY LOOSE GARMENTS Tight-Fitting Articles of Apparel Un­ known Among the Eaklmue—Their Boots Absolutely Waterproof. Wd Which Roily Hcd Absolutely No Pleasing Evi According to Wall Made the Elevator Man. Avidenne, famous ancient Arab physician, invented a medicine which be recommended highly as having healIng properties in tuberculosis cases. Its name was djelenjubine, but its component parts, honey and red roses, have a more delectable suggestion. The rosea were preserved in honey, and Arictenne'a testimony was, after many •xperimenta, that the mixture reduced expectoration and caused the patient to gain weight and appetite. The ancient physician attributed the effect to' tannin and sugar, both of which have a favorable influence on tuber­ culosis, ha said. Presumably tannin Is an element in rose leaves, accord­ ing to this, but who would havp thought it! Yet, who would not will­ ingly accept a rose leaf and honey remedy for any disease! A grandmother's cure for coughs and sore throat was once upon a time composed of honey and butter melted together with an admixture of hore­ hound, and administered to entirely willing youthful patients. Did the prescription of the ancient Arab corner down the centuries, modified along the way! Rose leaves would be better than horehound, perhaps. But grand­ mothers' cures are spoken of lightly by doctors in these days. Tlie grand­ mothers did not know, they say. But oftener than not, the children got well.—Exchange. Character In Epic. The action which springs oat of character, and reflects character, alone •atisfleR the higher dramatic conditiouH. Here there is a marked differ­ ence between epic and dramatic poetry. Tlie epic poem relates a greet and complete action which attaches Itself to the fortunes of a people, or to the destiny of mankind, and sums up the life of a period. The story and the deeds of those who pass across its wide canvas are linked with the larger movement of which the uapo themselves are but a pert The par­ ticular action rests upon forces out­ side Itself. The hero Is swept into the tide of events. The hairbreadth escapes, the surprises, the episodes, the marvellous incidents of epic story, only partly depend upon the sponta­ neous energy of the hero.

Statute law gives an English king larger powers than any other head of a family In supervising matrimony. Under the terms of the royal mar­ riage act of 1772 no descendant of George II (except the issue of prin­ cesses marrying Into foreign families) is capable of contracting matrimony 'Without the consent of the reigning sovereign, subject to an Important sav­ ing clause which the wisdom of par­ liament dictated. A member of the royal family may marry In spite of the sovereign's veto, tf he or she has reached the age of twenty-five, and has given 12 months’ notice to the privy council. Where these conditions are fulfilled the mar­ riage is valid, unless both houses of parliament declare their disapproval. Ha Found OuL An old Yarmouth fisherman settled in the east end of London.

TO CONTINUE EDITORS HANDY WITH FISTS DAIRY-ALFALFA WORK N«w OounliM Listed for latea,1T. 0«Jafal»n» During fl riming BUiOU East Lansing, &«pt. £4,—Intensive local campaign* in the interest of bet ter farming, known a* “dairy and al­ falfa” drives, will be carried out in several counties at the state during the coming winter by the extension divi­ sion of the Michigan Agricultural Col°*Many eountic* have been covered by these drive* during the past two year*, and tho result* of the work in generally improved fanning practices in the dis­ trict* reached have been so satisfac­ tory that the* college authorities have just announced a continuation of the campaigns. During the course of one of these tours, which usually take two weeks, every farmer-in a*aunty has the chanee to see at least one of the demonstra­ tions nnd to hoar the college special ists discuss tho subjects without having to go more than two or three miles. This is actompliahed by having as many as 80 local or so-called 4 * barn­ yard” meetings in sections scattered all over tho country. Formation of eow testing and better sire associations and increased alfalfa acreages aro direct results which have followed the intensive campaigns al­ ready bold; while a better understand­ ing of the value of alfalfa as n Michi­ gan forage crop, and of improved dairy practices in general, is said to result from the campaign meetings. Several counties have asked for the drives during the coming months, ac­ cording to Director Baldwin, and an itinerary for the season will be an­ nounced in tho near future. Special­ ists from the collego dairy and farm crops department work jointly with the local eoufity agricultural agents in handling tho campaign meetings. STATE CO-OPERA­ TION NEEDED It is tho policy of President Coolidge to have the States accept their full responsibility in the matter of govern nient. As a first step to thnt end ho will soon call a conferenco of govern­ ors and go over with them the co onorafive enforcement of tho prohibition law*, anti-drug law, and immigration. Moro important than all those is the help he will ask of the etale executives in reducing the general tax burden. Statistics prove that the national gov­ ernment has made far greater strides in economy and tax reduction than have tho States. In faet most of the States have taken advantage of the demand for tax-free aocuriticu and have issued bonds not warranted by tho already heavy tax rate. There is no apparent reason why tho drastic economy poli­ cies of the Federal government should not be followed by the states them­ selves. Co-operation such as the President seeks between tho Federal and State government* would be akin to tho con­ ferences between tho British dominions and the home government, in which the dominions consider their needs in re­ lation to the needs of tho whole empire. Nut only will the individual and gen­ eral welfare of tho people bo improved by Mr. Coolidge’s suggestion, but prac­ tical patriotism will bo stimulated. State officials and tho people themselves will have a keener appreciation of the fact that they aro part of the whole nation, and tho benefits derived from efficient administration of national af­ fairs puts upon them a responsibility to contribute their best efforts for the general good.

In the flrat half of tho Nineteenth century It was the custom of editors to engage In mud slinging to a large extent Horace Greeley, James Gor­ don Bennett, James Watson Webb, William (Allien Bryant, nnd others did not hesitate to attack euch other phys­ ically as well aa verbally. On one oc­ casion Bennett was knocked down In the street by Webb, and Bennett re­ taliated by writing up the occurrence In his paper, the New York Herald, tn tlie following fashion: •The fellow, no doubt, wanted to let out the never-falling, supply of good humor and wit which has cre­ ated such a reputation for the Herald, and appropriate tlie contents to sup­ ply tlie emptiness of his own thick skull. He did not succeed, however, In rifling me of my Ideas. He has not Injured the skull. My ideas In a few days will flow as freely as ever and he will find it oat to his cost." Another assault by Webb occurred a little Jater, and was reported In sim­ ilar style, ending with the statement: “A* to intimidating me or changing my course, the thing cannot be done. I tell the honest truth In my paper and leave the consequences to God. (k>uld I leave them in better hands?” Sags Tip to Reporter*. The following remarks by M. De Blowltx, the famous Journalist, are re­ ported: *When a man gives a corre­ spond pnt an important piece of news, the latter should continue to remain with him for some time, but change the conversation and not leave him until it has turned upon something quite Insignificant. Blown* explained why. If the correspondent, he says, takes his departure abruptly, u flush of caution will burst upon Ids Inform­ ant He will reflect rapidly and will beg the Journalist not to repeat what he hits said till he sees him again. The information would lie lost and the correspondent would suffer annoyance that might have been avoided had be known nothing. For, adds Blowltx, very wisely, a newspaper has no use for confidential information it cannot transmit to Its readers."—Harper’s Magazine.

SAVED MONOPOLY IN PIPtt Clever Trick Credited ta Dlrteh Traders Who Had No Desire to Lose Lucrative Business. i There is a story to the effect that once the Dutch had a profitable mo­ nopoly in the manufacture of smoking pipe*. Flanders, in a desire to culti­ vate craftsmanship for economic rea­ sons, decided to make pipes, too, and quit sending money to Holland for such articles. In that way, it waa planned, Flanders could not only keep Flan­ ders money at home, but the country, could sell Its pipes to other people at s profit __ ____ t So the manufacture of pipes began. Seeing what this competition might lead to, the Dutch said: "We will well our pipes at a loss in Flanders until this upstart industry shall have been ruined. Then we can raise the price higher than before.” To this the people of Flanders retorted by laying a prohibitive tax upon Dutch pipes, to keep them out. Thereupon tho Dutch loaded a ship with pipes, sailed It over to the coast of Flanders, and wrecked it there. It was salvaged, of course, and the people of Flanders got a shipload of plf»es for nothing. For the next two or three years pipes were so ruinously cheap In Flanders that tha new Industry perished. Thus the Dutch, by sacrificing one shipload of pipes, saved their mo­ nopoly.

VISITS OPPORTUNITY ROOM IN HASTINGS Last week's issue of the Charlotte ■ Republican contained the following in­ teresting article written by Mra. Davis, who is teacher of the opportunity room in Charlotte, deacribiag her visit to our city schools, where Mias Grace Hodge ia teacher of tho opportunity room:— I reached the opportunity room aa tho children wero going to physical training. Miss Hodge, the teacher, wns putting on arithmetic problems for grades III, IV, V, very much tho tamo ns mine for my grades. She was also putting trading words and phrases for II nnd III grade. The room is not near­ ly so attractive as oura, while the win­ dows admit of a pleasing outlook the room is dark in finish nnd furniture. Tho Inst being old and much worn desks and chairs. The work bench in tho room and tho open cupboard give it a “cluttered’’ appearance, which ia disturbing to me. Tho furnishings, board, maps, ete., are not new os oura —only ono beautiful picture in a lovely frame, a sail boat on Lake Eric in a good frame, the one beauty spot in tho room. I felt untold richness when I compared that room with ours. But they have a wonderful teacher in Miss Hodge. A woman of ability and fino character. I admire her greatly and am really fond of her. We seemed to appeal to each other. Because of her mother’s sudden death, she did not teaeh the first week, which accounts for some of the upsetness of tho room. She teaches bench work to the boys ns well as sewing to the girls. I really do not approve for I think she over­ works. She gave a lesson daily last year. Her working program is also much like mine, at present. The first periods until morning recess, were given over to arithmetic study and in­ dividual help. Those who were through first and correct, helped the slower ones. Miss Hodges helped the I grade child with reading numbers and words from the board, then called another child to the desk to continue helping this one, while she had three grade II children eome up and add from sight cards. They did some adding and subtracting at the board. Then she went about helping those who needed it. After recess there was reading. A grade V (the highest) girl took a group of grade HI pupils in the corner to read, while Mi** Hodge heard a grade II boy read. These children were given seat work while grade V read. Of the whole class only four read. Miss Hodge asked questions on the previous lesson and then asked those who read to explain the meaning of .the paragraph read (Tho Irish Twins)). The work waa well done but half the class didn’t read. That closed the morning’s work. . We went to dinner together and con­ tinued to talk shop. In tho afternoon there waa some hand work for the girls, working with word and letter cards with the small ones. A little reading, then the HI, IV, nnd V grades copied snd learned a stanza of a fall poem, part of them reciting to me. I became friendly with them, the girls bringing chjuni and sitting around mo to sew and the boy* recit­ ing to me. Friday is also the day that all the word* missed are to be studied and spelled correctly. While Mias Hodge helped some very slow ones, the quicker ones brought their words to me. I en­ joyed this, too. After recess, Mira Hodge asked me to tell a story. AU I could recall was the riory from a book, so I talked a half hour, was going to stop, but they begged me to finish. The most rest­ less boy in the room was my best 11*ener, so I talked, told the story one straight hour. But we were all good fnends when I was through. Miss Hodge hss no working program. She says she just docs things as the children need them. She gives very little geography work. Her children are all tested out by the Benet test by s skilled person in that line. Then word is sent to the parent that children should go into the opportunity room, so her room is really subnormal, though some of the children do not look it. She does promote some —4 boys from grade II to III, last spring. Msny of them are held back by disease, ete. Some wiU never go out of that room. They have the spec­ ial teacher, music, etc. She ha* only 16 pupil*. Last year ■he had 18 but says she cannot help in­ dividually *o many. So 10 is her maxi­ mum number. She is an inspiration. This last sum­ mer she was in a Detroit College taking work along her special line. I’m glad I visited there. The new High school is beautiful but I'm also glad I’m teaching in Charlotte. I have advantage* away ahead of her*. I ought to do some good work.—Char­ lotte Republican. CLOVERDALE. Mrs. Clarissa Herrington and babies spent the week-end in Grand Rapids.

House-to-house solicitors are claiming to sell Phoenix hosiery in various sections of the United States. Sometimes they show alleged credentials in which the word “Phoenix" is prominently displayed. Their plan is to secure a dollar deposit, promising that the hosiery will be sent by mail, and the balance collected by the postman. And that is the last their victims ever hear of them. They pocket the dollar and disappear. In a few instances, however, they have delivered some makeshift hosiery, worth about half the price. These canvassers are outright frauds, far Phoenix hosiery is sold only through retail sores. As Phoenix is a leader in sales everywhere, and is probably rhe best known line of hosiery in the world, these peddlers are trading upon that reputation to defraud the buying public.

Criticism. It has indeed been advanced by Addison, as one of the characteris­ tics of a true critic, that he points out beauties rather than faults. But It is rather natural to a man of learn­ ing and genius to apply himself chiefly to the study of writers who have more beauties thap faults to bo displayed; for the duty of crlth-lam is neither to depreciate, nor dignify by partial representations, but to hold out the light of season, whatever It rsay discover.—Samuel Johnson. Only One English Swallow. Although there are four common kinds of English swallow bird#, there ia only one English swallow. Jn some rgopects they are all very much alike.

A becoming new hat—what a world at fascination there is in just the thought of it for any woman. No mat­ ter how old her frock, with a charm­ ing new hat which she knows is uttaeiy becoming, a woman is ready and willing to face the world. And how lovely the new hats are. While there are general rather definite stylo tendencies, still the range of styles is broad enough that you may choose a hat which is quite the best suited to your type. Of course, the small hat' is a great favorite for winter. The whole effect is ao chic when one sees a jaunty little hat poised above a huge fur collar and reedy to meet the winter quite un­ troubled by blustering winds. And the ■mill hats of this winter offer such a wide selection both in style and ma­ terial for your most particular choice.

AND MORE SMALL HATS. Another, and perhaps even more pop­ ular version of tho smnll hat is ono with a tiny brim which is sometimes seen turned up a little in front and at others turned sharply down like a poke bonnet. If ono chooses ono of these little hats in felt, it may well achieve great smartness by having a coque feather wending its way down from Bono of these toques are unbelicv- tho brim over the fair wearer's shoul- Mrs. Harry Leinnar returned from ■ABT ORANGEVILLE AND WEST HOPE. the hospital Sunday.

Thnt is why they havo such swagger charms when they aro worn with a tailored frock or suit. A very clever new way is to combine coque with a few strands of oratrich. If you choose to have your smnll hat of velvet or duvetyn, the feather trimming is apt to bo more elaborate. They may be graceful ostrich feathers which sweep down from tho brim over tho shoulder. Quito as often however, tho feathers uro found right at the front of tho crown. But you will be very smart if you chooso to have at the sido of your hat a feather ornament which closely resembles the wise old owL Now nnd then a square crown is seen on the more strictly tailored hat but almost invariably the modish hat has a cone shape or, at any rate, a rounded crown. THE NEW COLORS. Tho woman who really dresses well is tho ono who knows the value of having hat, shoes, gloves nnd frock each a part of a harmonious whole. In fact, that ia the main, perhaps tho only, secret of smartness. Bo what­ ever colors wo may say aro good, the only way to buy a hat is to choose it with tho thought of tho frock or frocks with which you intend to wear it, well in mind. And right hero lies tho value of choosing a becoming color and wearing it in all your frocks throughout tho season. Unless your ex­ penditure is unlimited, it is the only way in which you can bo quite sure that whatever you wear, all your ac­ cessories will be just the thing for it. However, tho most popular colors for fall are on tho brown tones. That is, every color from brown, fawn, champagne and tap to tho brightest of orange. Black is always good and this fall it is an especial favorite. American Beauty is such n warm becoming shade that it is often chosen by tho woman who wears dark furs. Tho larger hat adds such picturesque loveliness to charming afternoon frocks. So if it is becoming, it is well to have at least ono of them in your winter wardrobe. Tho large hats this year havo a very short brim in tho back. It gives them so much more stylo and, of course, makes them much more com­ fortable with the fur scarf or high fur collar. Sometimes these hats aro trimmed with softly draped Spanish lace which lends such fascination when it falls a few inches over tho brim. Now and then ono sees n long chiffon veil caught on the side of the crown with a lovely buckle and falling gracefully over tho shoulder. But quite as often as not these hats aro trimmed with graceful feathers which either fall from brim or aro gathered at tho front of tho crown. 1 voai lar uertvatives.

No one will question tho sev­ erity of tho times so far as they affect the farmer. He is having to bear tho brunt of enormous increases in taxa­ tion, very largo increase in pay for any labor that he employs on his farm, large increase for everything he has to buy, while n good share of tho crops that he has to market are depressed in price. It now seems as if there had been a definite turn for the betterment of the fanner’s condition through natural causes; but that way is a long one and a hard one toward securing relief for him by simply letting natural conditions work themselves out.

Each week day there will be two forenoon services, at 5:30 and 8:00 o’clock, and of the proof which he says the military courts of his state have gathered in revealing tho atrocities committed by the Ku Klux Klan, there should be no hesitation on the part of any city, coun­ ty or state authorities anywhere in put­ ting an effective ban on all Klan activi­ ties. „ , , That he has the proof can be fairly inferred, for he would not dare make the public charges he does that tho Klan has been guilty of over 250 bru­ tal outrages upon persons in Oklahoma, some of them fiendish in their cruelty. He claims he has many confessions of Klansmcn who admit their participation in lawless, inhuman, and in some in­ stances, most revolting outrages, for which no excuse can be framed, by bands of hooded Klansmen, who claimed they were doing what they did in or­ der to promote respect for lew end or­ der and to save civilization! A civili­ zation that needs such methods of salva­ tion ns those applied by the Klan in Oklahoma might exist among the Hot­ tentots, but never in America. According to the reported evidence, a favorite activity of the Oklahoma Klans seems to have been to decide that somebody in some locality was not living aocordiag to the high ideals ($) of Klanism, and so a group of men, hooded to conceal their identity and prove their bravery, ^rould swoop down on the objectionable person, take him from his home and give him a merciless beating with whips in order that he might be duly impressed with the high code of ethics and tho lofty ideals of the men who used mob violence and hoods the better to impress their high regard for law and order! Ono man was killed in Oklahoma, states the governor, for having tho hardihood to oppose the Klan. Another, for the same offense, was nearly killed. An aet of downright nendishaesa was unearthed, responsibility for whieh was traced directly to tho Klan. A man who had incurred tho enmity of thi* secret organization was taken from his (eontinued on page-5.) Father Lentz is especially trained for this work, and devotes his entire time to it.

The game of football is one that strongly appeals to tho active, robust, red-blooded youth of the country. The strenuous physical clash, arraying of wit against wit, and the united power and organized force to put plays “over,” are what appeal to the young men engaged. Boys not only learn to fight to win, but to fight fairly, think quickly, and “die hard.” It’s a rough and tumble game, and no place for a weakling or a quitter. Tho time used to be, and not many years ago, when teams from the smaller towns used to go up against the larger city teams and get their annual “bumps,” and many times tho “bumps” were real ones. That was very largely because the city teams had paid coaches, who taught the boys the value and the necessity of “organized” effort. Aa long as the teams from tho smaller towns had no coaching, or at least no efficient coaching, tho larger city teams won, because they did have the benefit of experienced instruction. The smaller towns might have stronger and huskier members, but when op­ posed by players trained in tho game, it availed them nothing. But all thin is being changed now in many of the smaller cities. In Al. Brown, Hastings has a football coach who is getting results. Sunday’s Grand Rapids Herald, in speaking of tho game recently played by Hastings High against the strong Union High toum of Grand Rapids, had this to say: ‘ ‘ Last Saturday Union High team was scared stiff for nearly three-quarter* of tho game, when the Hastings boys battled them to a standstill. Hastings oven was leading, 6-0, up to the last eight minutes of play. It took every ounce of energy and knowledge of football in the Union squad to push over a ip-6 victory. Why did Hastings they play so fine a game!‘ Because ‘ .... have a well coached and equipped team.’* Kalamazoo Central High has one of high school teams in the the strongest _ ________ state, but tho little Otsego High team gave them the tussle of their lives, holding them even for the first half. About tho same time the Lowell High team trimmed South High of Grand Rapids 13 to 6. All of thia goes to show that the strong, husky boys from tho smaller towns have nothing to fear * *from *v the lads of the larger cities. It’* very largely a matter of coaching, training _ and organization, three quite necessary elements to win success anywhere or any time. Tho Hastings High school team is en­ titled to the hearty support of everyone who has pride in the city and who en­ joys seeing a good game, it is to be regretted that games here often occur on Saturday afternoon when merchants are busy and unable to attend. While the attendance has been fairly good, it should bo much larger. CONTRACT LET FOR AD­ DITION AT COUNTY HOME Ed. Monica to Build New Fire Proof Building for *14,000 I .ast week, Supervisors McIntyre, Smith and Van Vrankon, the committee chosen by the board of supervisors to have charge of the improvement of the County Home, let the contract for the now building to Ed. Monica for the num of $14,000. This will also include a new roof on the present structure. The additional building is to be fire­ proof, and will have 24 rooms for in­ mates. The now building will separate the two older briek structures which nre not fire-proof, and will largely de­ crease the fire hazard in the old build­ ings in case a fire should start in cither one of them. Work will bo commenced on the now building soon, and it will be completed ns quickly as possible. 11333098 ENFOBGEMW NEW AUTOMOBILE LAWS MUST BE RESPECTED SAY STATE OFFICERS THE UNIFORM TRAFFIC RULES NOW IN EFFECT Provisions Which Automobile Drivers Should R§ad and Respect Believing that motorists of Michi­ gan have been given sufficient time to thoroughly acquaint themselves with the new automobile laws, the Uniform Traffic Law passed by tho last Legis­ lature, the State Police are now enforc­ ing the automobile laws to the letter. Many arrests have been made in many Grts of the state in tho last few weeks cause of minor violations. Secre­ tary of State, Charles Do Land, recent­ ly issued letters to all peace officers and to the State Police ns well, calling their attention to the fact that the Uniform Traffic I-aw is in effect and that they would be expected to enforce it and the old automobile laws as well. Tho principal violations of these laws upon which tho State Police have been called to make recent .arrests are: Failing to keep automobile license tags properly hung. Failing to have parking light* burn­ ing and failing to- dim headlights upon the approach of another vehicle. Failing to extend arm upon turning, or halting a machine. Failing to como to a complete stop upon approaching any main State Trunk Line. Failing to stop behind street cars or other passenger carrying vehicles. Parking on the public highway. These seven salient points in tho automobile laws of Michigan must be adhered to, the State Police Depart­ ment insists. The motorcycle patrols of the Department are constantly on the lookout for violators and arc co­ operating with city and county officials. In Jackson recently 80 motorists were arrested on charges of violating tho automobile laws. Every motorist well knows tho speed limit allowed on the State highways of Michigan, whieh is 35 mile* per hour. It is not deemed necessary to call attention of motor­ ists to this phase of the law and many arrests for speeding are recorded on the court files of any county. There is a provision in the State law which says that automobile license tags must be fastened in a conspicuous place, front and rear. Many drivers are being hailed into court for having them concealed behind bumpers or for allowing them to become mud bespat­ tered so that they can not bo readily read. At any time an automobile is stopped HASTINGS BAND TO on a road, trunk line or eounty, the law ENTER TOURNAMENT says that a white light must show from (Continued on page two.)

Grand Rapids South, this year, has a team, which as well as the rest of the Grand Rapids teams, is known throughout the state as a fast, heavy, A-l team. The local team in these first two gamee, has demonstrated its ability to be there with the fight and never-dio spirit, which is a big factor in the win­ ning of any interscholaatic ‘contest.

It will seem fine to see this big bunch of men, not only of Hastings but of all the surrounding territory, get together at their monthly meeting, which will begin this month and con­ clude next May. For the first meeting a fine program has been prepared and the man who i» winning national fame will be speaker and bqnor guest. This man is Mr. J. F. Wright of Detroit, the executive secretary and leader of tho Pathfinder* of America, whoso business is scienti­ fic character building or human engi­ neering. Mr. Wright was attracted to this type of work in Detroit by visiting the jail in that city and noticing the num­ ber of young boys who were confined there for crimes, some of them quite serious crimes. He was interested to find out what their training had been. Some of them came from good homos, the larger number of them from homes where training would be indifferent; not a few from homes where the in­ fluence would be bad from the start. After having interviewed many of these boys, having looked up their homes and ancestry and everything connected with them, ho reached the conclusion that the great trouble with all of them was that they had never been grounded in correct moral prin­ ciples; and that that was the reason why they so easily went astray. There was no impelling conscience to direct them in tho path of reason and right. He begun a movement among these boys who wore confined in the jail of the eity of Detroit, an entirely volun­ tary movement, with a serie* of leasons for them to study that would bring to their minds what was and what was not right in the matter of eonduet and character-building. Strange as it may socra, many a hardened fellow be­ came intensely interested in this study, when it was presented to him aa mean­ ing that it was still possible for him to square away and earn the confidence of right-minded people. Bo many good results followed this initial work in the jail and in the Detroit House of Correction with the young fellows, that it was then taken up at the Ionia and the Marquette prisons, with equal­ ly marked and good results in many cases. The work was then established in jails and prisons in other state*. Hundred and hundreds of letter* have come to Mr. Wright from those who have taken this course in moral train­ ing, who had made in some ease* a long start on the wrong road, whieh (Continued on page two) ALL ROADS LEAD TO CHARLOTTE THIS WEEK Chriitiin Endeavor Societies of Three Oonntiea to Meet There The Christian Endeavor forces of have their lonia-Eaton-Barry countie*-----delegations ready to send to Charlotte Friday and Saturday to their annual district convention.

Aid of Boy Scout The value of the Boy Scout training in “first aid to tho injured” was strik­ ingly shown Tuesday afternoon in the case of Glenn A Collins, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Collins, of this city. Glenn, Jr. had been up on the Broad­ way hill, south of the High school build­ ing, and in running down the hill as he was starting homeward he tripped and fell. In falling ho hit his knee on a piece of glass or a sharp stone, making a deep, jagged cut. which bled pro­ fusely. A Boy Scout, whom Glonn did not even know, witnessed the accident and rushed to tho injured lad’s aid. He saw that an artery had been severed and felt that a tourniquet would be nec­ essary to save possible death from loss of blood. Using hi* handkerchief as a tourniquet, as he had been taught in hi* Scout training, ho bound it on as he had been taught to do, so that tho loss of blood was reduced to tho very min­ imum. Fortunately, too, Mail Carrier Herrington was near, and he came and carried Glonn to tho place near by where Glenn ’• father is building a new house. Some of tho workmen thou carried the injured boy to his home on West Green St., where Dr. McIntyre was sum­ moned and dressed the injury, whieh may prove serious as it may involve ths knee cap. Mr. and Mr*. Collins are very grateful to that Boy Scout and to Mr. Herrington and the men for help needed it.

The Uniform Traffic Law says that the driver of an automobile upon making a right or left turn, or upon com­ ing to a complete stop, or upon slowing down must extend his arm to warn machines approaching from the rear. The State Police have approved a sys­ tem of signals as follow*: ______ Arm pointing skyward to denote a right turn; arm extended horizontally to denote a left turn; arm pointing toward the road to denote a stop or slowing down. This same system of signalling has been adopted and ap­ proved by Police Departments of a number of cities. . Another feature of thia same law i* tbe section making it compulsory to stop while approaching a State Trunk Line -road, the automobiles on the Trunk Line having the right of way. On practically7 every main road in the State there is sufficient •• shoulder" or unused pert of the road to the side of the beaten path, where a motorist can stop his machine tb make an ad­ justment, repair a tire, etc. Failure to pull the machine to one side is a viola­ tion of this section.

Allegan started the scoring early in tho first period when a pass was for­ warded to Webster, right end. Web­ ster made a perfect drop-kick for the after point. Tho two squads battled on even terms until the second period when Cleveland pushed through the line for tho first point scored by Brown’s men. O’Donnell failed to drop-kick for the after point. Tho second half opened with Alle­ gan kicking to Hastings, and after a steady march down tho field, Captain Roush carried the ball through the line for the second counter. Cleveland added the after point via drop-kick. Hastings tried hard to score in the fourth period but was held on the onofoot line; Allegan punted.

(2) , That banks be established /or the purpose of making loans at lower ratal of interest to farmers. We believe, tho government purchase propoafilDn is not worthy of nxuch con­ sideration from any man who thinks it through. The government might get out tho first year and possibly the sec­ ond; but if it eould pay a price that would yield farmers an assured profit on raising wheat, we think the gov­ ernment would be in line for a won­ derful surprise in the enormous increaso in the amount of wheat that could be raised. We do hot think there would bo much gain from making loans to tho farmer at aay I per cent less than he could Kthem at the bank now. As far as t could bo done, especially in help­ ing him to carry his products until lacro were yciioj marseu lor loom, it might be worth while,'but generally speaking, we believe it would not pay the farmer to look, to getting in debt to help himself out. If the govern­ ment should Undertake to do that for one class of our people, it would not bo long before merchants and other people would demand the same favor. Generally epeaking, we believe the fanner is an . independent American citizen who does not want toadying, but he docs want, fair play and justice, and ho feels he has not had that kind of treatment in recent years. It soems to us that a remedy could be looked for in an altogether different direction, and that is in the matter of taxation. Wo think that the taxation of real estate at the present time in Michigan, if not nearly every other state, is far above what is fair ■ and just. W® believe that there are enor­ mous quantities of hidden wealth in this state that completely escape every form of taxation proposed, and espec­ ially in the tremendous increase in tax­ exempt securities, has resulted in great­ ly increasing the tax burden on farm property. Real estate can be seen, of owner docs not know, there are ways course, and so can bo readily taxed; which arc not expensive by which he but untold billions of property are either can find out the possibilities of his farm. tax exempt or covered up in such a And then when ho knows that ho way -that it escapes all burden of tax­ either can go at it sad develop those ation. Tho result of this is to greatly possibilities or if ho thinks they arc increase the burden upon real estate not worth developing, give it up as a and to the increase of fortunes that arc bad job. That secins to bo about the situation that confronts the farmer already swollen.

The But at the present time, tho great Express declares thht Henry Ford is majority of farmers would not need to Erobably the richest man in all history, aving an annual income of more than fear an income tax. In sdme townships of this state taxes $100,000,000 every year, or about $200 amount to os much as $3, and in some every minute.

Tho Express says that tbe listing of the income whieh ought to determine $100,000,000 fortunes is a more difficult what the burden should be.

J On Tuesday, Sept. 18, nine Hastings Agricultural students and teacher of agriculture, Mr. Townsend, went to the Grand Rapids fair and competed in judging contests at whieh over a dozen of the leading high schools of the state were represented. The record made by the Hastings boys is indeed an enviable one, being equaled by no other high school at the contest. Tho vegetable judging team, consist­ ing of Kenneth McDonald, Earl Moore and Melvin Pettit, took first place in the contest, beating their nearest op­ ponent by 70 points. Kenneth MeDonold took third place and Earl Moore fourth • ’ teammate, Melwho ’ r behind them. ▼in that any judging team from Hastings has ever taken a first place at the West Michigan State fair. the contest—Mr. Demond taking third place among the 37 boys who competed With merous small clubs and classes of the school attempt to handle their own funds and dispose of them promiscuous­ ly. It aims also to effect co-operation be­ tween the nasrehants and the students so that tho danger of small bills being forgotten and left unpaid may be elimi­ nated. Tho new system is exceedingly sim­ ple. The clubs, etc., all deposit thoir moneys with Mr. Jones, receiving in return a deposit slip. When money is wanted by any club, tho treasurer goes to Mr, Jones and gets a requisition blank. This, he fills out, stating what he wishes to buy. This being done, all ho needs to do is to take it to some member of tho faculty for his signa lure, and then go to the store and buy his goods, charging it to tho associa tion. After this, ho takes tho bill which he receives from tho store back to Mr. Jones, who obligingly secs that it is paid nt once. Tho valuo of this lystem can hardly be overestimated. It puts method into what was once chaos, ind makes possible the keeping of a •ecord of tho exact expenditures and -cceipts of all tho elubs. Tho student, doo, who comes in touch with this orpmication, receives training in many •radical things that he can use in lat»r life, especially along tho lines of patience and long-suffering.

Monday afternoon of last week, we had tho privilege of having Meriam Neih, a Chinese lady, tell us about the 'rcat improvement of their educational system over tho system which they for­ merly employed. Miss Neih has recent­ ly been studying in some of our largo universities, nnd is now going to De­ troit, that she may study their fine school system, and then go back to China and help teach tho children of her aativo country.

Mr. Hunt then told us about the different characters of men he observed during his college career. He! gave three classifications whieh he thought covered the majority of stu­ dents. The first type is the type which goes there for a good time. The second type is that which covers tho people who go there and become typical, book worms. The third one is the type cov­ ering people who not only acquire knowledge, but also mix with the stu­ dents, nnd enter into different types of campus activities.

Now tnko a lot of hungry students and try to hide something good to eat from them—why it simply can’t be done. At least it wasn’t in this case. After gazing with open-mouthed intensity at the casual and frequent visits of tho students at this one particular desk, one curious “boy” decided to investi­ gate. Ho proceeded to do so, and in the course of fate the instructor espied the lad gazing at the half demolished fancy pastry and he thereupon pro­ ceeded to drag forth to view the one remaining French curl.

For this reason it was forced to delve far into science—to analyze—to deduce—to conclude — to act It was the task of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to eliminate haphazard — to criminate the speculative. If the products of petroleum were to be a staple and become an integral part in the ope­ ration of other industries, the entire process of refining petroleum must be based on scientific accuracy. . » It was on this premise that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) established its immense re­ search laboratories, equipping with every modern facility. The findings of the men in these laboratories have contributed much to the success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and enabled it to earn its rightful position as a leader in the industry. ' Scores of new products have been evolved in these laboratories. All were taken from the single base—crude petroleum. They have enabled you to partake of many of the refinements of life and to enjoy comforts that otherwise would have been denied you. Viewed broadly, the pioneer work of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has done much to stabilize industry; to put proauction on a standard of accuracy; to reduce the cost of com­ modities; to develop new methods; to give in­ ventive genius a starting point. The ctandard Oil Company (Indiana) has not confined its pioneering alone to the manufactur­ ing and selling of petroleum products. It has inaugurated new methods of industrial relations within its own organization that have gone a long way towards solving the problems confronting industry generally. Thus, by blazing its own trail has the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) grown bigy-big in size and big in service—to the thirty million people of the Middle West P Standard Oil Company 910 So.

Many farmer* fail to realize the need for care at digging time,''with refercnee "to keeping qualities of the crop, says H. C. Moore, extension specialist in potatoes at M. A. C., who gives the following general rules for handling the spud harvest: “Potatoes should be dug when they arc well matured so that the skin is oot easily broken in handling. Im­ mature potatoes are easily bruised and skinned. Such stock taker a dark color which renders it undesirable on the market. Furthermore, immature potatoes are likely - to rot in storage, and the shrinkage loss is heavy. “If possible, the digging should be done on bright, cool days and when the soil Js comparatively dry. When har­ vested under these conditions, the potatoes will maintain a brighter color and will keep better in storage than when dug in warm, rainy weather. “Ono of tho main criticisms on the markets against Michigan potatoes is that many lots show too high a per­ centage of mechanical injuries. Grow­ ers aro urged to use more care in dig­ ging. When digging with a fork or potato hook, pains should be taken not to stab the potatoes. “Tho use of the mechanical diggers is becoming more general throughout the state. When properly operated, these machines dig the crop with a CARLTON CENTER. minimum amount oft injury.

He offers a clean, fresh stock, backed by a well organized service. He wants you as a permanent customer. That is the reason he sells Firestone tires. He knows and has plenty of proof that they are the best tires on the mar­ ket. He can give you the greatest value and thereby retain your trade for years. Every day you find new proof of this unequalled value.' On the 15th of this month, Firestone Tires set two new dirt track records at Syracuse when Tommy Milton slid around four turns at every mile and covered the 100 milea in 75 min­ utes, 33 hundredths seconds. He also established a new world’s record for one mile by covering it in 42 and 28 hun­ dredths second*. The next four cars to finish were also equipped with Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords. Each one of them went the entire race without a stop. Thio and every other important race this year was won on Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords and Steam-Welded Tubes. Such performance gives you conclusive proof of their strength and durability. ‘ Not only do race drivers use Firestone Tires as protection to their fives and the surest way to victory, but the largest tire buyers in the world insist on and buy Firestone Tires for economy and service. These buyers include the leading car manufacturers, the biggest commer­ cial Car operators and the taxicab and motorbus operators. 57,639,714 tire miles were sold to taxicab and motorbus operators in the month of August.

J*P*nDuring the Ban Francisco earthquake, Japan contributed over half the money subscribed by foreign nations whieh totaled nearly 8500,000. This action on her part was all tho more notable and extraordinary due to tho fact that she was at that time poor and exhaust­ ed by her foreign wars. In the predent great emergency the story of her won­ derful response in behalf /)f the Ban Francisco sufferers, giving as she did more than all .the rest of the world K together, outside of the United tea, cannot be too highly praised. The Japanese themselves are too modest to speak of it and for some rcasop the story of her wonderful liber­ ality is almost never mentioned. Aa a powerful and wealthy nation, we can return her generous assistance many fold and never notice it. As her affile-, tion is many times worse than the Ban Francisco disaster, generous action upon our part is essential to express our gratitude. v- Jrn* v ” 1 ■‘“X ’“>■ Mr. «»a Mra Trabert “ Visiting Cards, 50 Visiting Cards.

Minx of tho roeoptneles ore is bed shape. Tbe general or dert here been issned from the post­ master-general *A office for this work. It behooves all who have boxes which are eye-sores to get them fixed up. The special attention of postmasters ia districts where there are rural routes is asked by tho department at Washington. The need for improving the appearance of the rural mail boxes is to be a task at the servants of Undo Sam. . Many boxes at the present time, as a role, present a very unsatisfactory appearance,.due to the fact that tho galvanized or aluminum finish has worn off on account of exposure to the elements to such nn’ extent that the base metal has rusted. It is the pur­ pose of the department to improve tho Keral appearance of,the rural boxes inghout the country. It is desirable that the boxes be painted white, with the name of the head of the family or families receiv­ ing mail in the box painted on both ■ides of the box in plack letters one inch ia height; also that tho posts or supports to which the boxes are at­ tached be painted white. This will im­ prove not only the appearance of the boxes, but will add materially to the life of the boxes aad posts. Postmasters at the time of making the regular semi-annual inspection of rural delivery routes at their office, dur­ ing tbe .month of April, 1923, and nt the time of the subsequent semi-annual inspections, are instructed to take par­ ticular note of all rural mail boxes which do not appear to have been painted within one. or two yours. If old boxes, within tho p«$»t five or six years. A memorandum is made with the name of the box owner. They are to be notified politely that some action must be taken. It is believed that n pleasant request in a large majority of cases will bring the desired result. Now Is the Time to Buy YOU* Winter Supply of �THE HASTINGS BANNER. WEDNESDAY.

Advocates of public ownership schemes use u one of their strongest arguments, the statement that states, counties ar cltia can borrow ntonOy cheaper than private companies be­ cause their bonds arc “tax-exempt.” In addition public property pays no taxes. The income from some 330,000,000 000 of such tax-exempt bonds now goes tax-free and the rest of us pay addi­ tional taxes to make up this loss to the government. If public ownership win extended to various lines of industry as advocated by two constitutional amendments proposed in Georgia, the tax uffM’er.ment roll .would shrink nnd the burden of taxation on remaining taxable property would grow heavier and heavier as city, county and state functions were enlarged. Advocates of public ownership will find that it will be impossible in this country to maintain the right of priv­ ate property for half the people while taking over under public ownership the property of the other half. Ultim­ ately wo would face a situation where the principal business of those hold­ ing office would be how to collect tax revenue from those not holding office in order to meet the public payroll.

NOTICE OF HEARING CLAIMS White Lily Flour We have every reason to believe that it is impossible to find another flour on the market that will give entire satisfaction such as is given by FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR. Taking everything into consideration this flour is bound to make superior baked goods and when you order a trial sack we are sure you will become a steady user. It is made by a miller who has superior knowledge of the manufacture of flour, backed by an equipment that excels anything in Western Michigan in the flour making industry. FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is the result of the best wheat grown passing through the best and newest and most complete flour-making machinery that money can buy. More than this, it is made in a mill that runs con­ tinuously. day and night, year after year. As our machinery is all operated by water power, you can readily see the perfect conditions under which FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR is produced. Stole at Michigan, County of Barry.—as.

It is reasonable to suppose that after having made this high grade product for about 45 years arid always kept improving it and adding to it with experience that we are able to furnish you a Hour that is superior in every way to other flours that claim to be just as good. • Do not be deceived—there are none so good as FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR—it is always even, it is always just the same—when you bake with it one time you find it just like other times. Nearly everybody is using it. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask your grocer for a sack.

ROMANCE IN ARTISTS MARRIAGE OF MIMI UFE Friendship Between Chopin and George Sand That Had Ending In Lovers' Quarrel. In 1886 Chopin, the famous com­ poser, whose appearance was “one of the most mysterious and poetic In the history of music”—was Introduced to the novelist George Sand. She was a theorist and romantic writer who rode horseback astride, at times wore trousers, and even smoked cigars, which used to disgust Chopin to the bottom of bls soul. She was not ac­ counted au exceptionally beautiful woman, but she had an arresting per­ sonality and almost masculine asser­ tiveness. . “Chopin wns fascinated," says Olin Downes, in his “The Lure of Music." “There were times when be turned away In despair; but back be came. In the summer of 1838 he was Ul, and George Sand, who was going with her family tn the island of Majorca, in­ duced Chopin to accompany them." WIHIe there the weather became un­ usually cold for the Island. “It was Chopin who shivered and complained, and George Sand and her son who built the fires, which smoked. , In this place he wrote some of his most dra­ matic and Imaginative compositions." The friendship of Chopin and George Sand ended In a lovers' quarrel in 1844. and they were bitter enemies to the time of hl* death In 1849. W>e “wrote up" Chopin as the Prltjc« Karol In her novel, “Lucres^ Florians.” DI bet Les smoking a Champi For twenty-eight vean critical smokers have enjoyed the satisfying flavor of Hemmeter’s Champions— Strictly hand-made, of good old-fashioned tobacco—no blends or artificial flavoring— The same today as twenty-eight years ago.

Colonel Hewit ojiened u real estate office in St Paul in 1856. Busi­ ness did not go well. Immigrants from the old countries heard of the “hyperborean climate" cf Minnesota and preferred to stay away from it In December, 1865, shortly before Christmas. Colonel Hewit organized a steamship excursion on the Mississippi Guests were Invited with the under­ standing that every one was to wear a linen “duster” nnd be equipped with a fan. A section of the Mississippi that was not covered with Ice was chosen fnr tho excursion and a spot not far from St. Paul as the picnic ground.

Some time ago an account was given of how the great scnl of the United State* wus designed. Franklin, Adams and Jefferson were appointed to select a device on a certain well-remembered day—July 4, 1770, no less, and there was much discussion regarding that Important matter. Franklin wanted a design of Moses dividing the Red sea and submerging the boats of Phurnoh. with the motto, “Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God." Adams suggested Hercules and his club, while Jefferson preferred the guiding of the children of Israel. Afterward the mak­ ing of the seal passed into other hands and it was not until June 20, 1782.

Muir also constructed a timepiece which Indicated the days of the month and of the week us well as the hours. one of his clock* kept good time fur 50 yeura. He also built a self-setting sawmill and an auto­ matic contrivance fur feeding horses at a required hour. Among his tool* whs n fine saw made out of strips of Steel from old corsets, and bradawls, punches and ti pair nf compasses from wire nnd old files. Birds of a Feather. Rev. Mr. Smith, rector of a fashion­ able London church, was induced to preach at a well-known prison. When In the vestry he said to the prison chaplain: “Now I have come, I don't know what to any to your convicts." The chaplain replied: "Preach exact­ ly* as If to your own congregation— remember, my people have been found out; yours have not." To tt.o the world la nobler than to abuse It. To make the world better, lovelier, and bnpp!*r, is the nobleM work ol num or Human. What itnliual Ilves the longest? Prob­ ably the tortoise, though we cannot be quite sure. According to Mr. Frederic A. Lucas hi Natural History, three his­ toric tortoise* probably have attained the greatest ages definitely recorded for any animals. A tortoise from the Aldabrn Islands that is still living at St. Helena, nays Mr. Lucas, has the distinction of being the only creature now alive that saw the great Napoleou, who died more than a century agu. How old the tortolee was when brought to St. Helena we do not know, but. venerable us It seems to us with our allotted span of threescore years and ten. It is not so old as anoth­ er tortoise, which Is—or recently was —living on the Inland of Mauritius, whither It wns brought from tbe Sey­ chelles many years before, lielng even then of unusual aloe. In Mauritius It became a national possession and Is 1810 was specifically mentioned in tbe treaty by which the French ceded the Island to England. It is said to have been living in Mauritius fur st least seventy years, so that it Is pretty safe to conclude that It Is ab least one hun­ dred aud fifty years old. That tortoise has been confounded with another, which was brought to Englund In 1807. ami which Bow to preserved In the Rothschild museum et Tring. It was certainly Move than one hundred and fifty yrara old at the time of its death—probably It was nearer two hundred years—nnd It is tbe lap- gest known tortoise. It is reported to have attained the weight of five biosdred and sixty pounds. �THE HASTING* BANNER, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, IMS DEMAW WHICH SHOULD PRECEDE Jo- management and extravagance.

The Detroit Automobile Club mtjKt ’be in a bad way when it has to employ a man who would perpetrate •uahidiotic drivel as that-in opposing a Gasoline Tax. But on this bright, cheerful Monday corning, nothing daunting, this modern Detroit Don Quixote discovers another windmill, mounts his Pegasus, get* his trusty mush-writing pen, and fares forth for a new nttack on the Gxsolino Tax. This time be makes tho astounding observation that, as most motor-driven vehicles are owned in cities, it might occur to resident* in those cities to nsk to share in the proceeds of a Gasoline Tax!! Sure thing! Why not! Every auto­ mobile driver would be glad to have cities and villages share if they would use the money to keep the approaches on Trunk Line highways and on other improved roads in good condition so that they eould bo travelled over with­ out shaking the livers out of the occu­ pant* of cars. Every approach to vil­ lages and cities should be paved. That is tho only way they can over become fit to travel over. Of course tho cheap skate who writes these Detroit Automobile Club articles put in this remark about division of the Gasoline Tax money in order to stir up a little prejudice among farmers. But his aim is too transparent to ex­ cite any interest on that account. Farmers want the money raised from a tax on gasoline to be used on the highways, and not have all the expense and cost put upon real estate. They are aware that they pay their propor­ tion for Trunk' Line approaches to cities and villages when they are con­ structed by the state. And they know it will relieve them of real estate taxes to have the Trunk Line costs, whether in city or country, paid from the tax on gasoline. The shallow reasoning and cheap ap­ peal to prejudice on the part of this Automobile Club writer will not get him \crv far in opposing a Gasoline Tax. With 36 states already having such a tax to build and maintain high­ ways, and with the legislatures of four other states having passed such laws which were vetoed by governors, the drift of sentiment ought to be so ap­ parent that even the Detroit Automo­ bile Club officer* esn see that they’ll never got anywhere. As to their prize specimen of cheap drivel writer, he is probably n hopeless ease. It’s Pontiac or Kalamazoo for him. Death Followed Boast.

Tony Povlic, living near Muskegon, wns convicted of selling moonshine to Howard Harkness of the same place last winter. The whole matter was brought into the trial, and the case was fought on its merits. The jury held thnt the death of Harkness a* a result of drinking the moonshine furnished him by Povlic, constituted the crime of manslaughter. Testimony showed that Harkness and two other* bought and drank liquor at Povlic's farm house and that they later started for home, a distance of several mile* through the *now over a bud road. It was also shown th^t Harkness was highly intoxicated and thnt ho fell in a stupor at the roadside, where he was found next morning dead. Doctors who performed a post mor­ tem examination stated from the wit­ ness stand that Harknoss died from acute alcoholism and exposure. They said there were no indications of any other contributing cause. The defense did not try to deny that Povlic sold liquor to Harkness but argued that this did not constitute the crime of man­ slaughter. The prosecution based its case on the theory that an illegal act, the selling of the liquor, unintentionally led to death, so it was manslaughter.

In retaliation for this short cut in feminine fashions, the young men seem to take huge delight in plastering down in shining, flawless smooth array-their latest hair cut with the poet’s bob in tho back of their head, Valentino’s part on the-side and down tho middle of their hair, nnd bud­ ding sideburns in company with each oar.

Its pur­ pose is to train the members in the art of public speaking, give them the power of thinking clearly and logically while on their feat, and at the same time to afford a good time. It was organized last year and its members will testify that it more than fulfilled its mission. The club aims, as far as possible, to imitate our congressional body at Washington. It has regular weekly meetings at which time bills aro introduced and debated either for passage or rejection. For variety out­ ride speakers are sometimes called in and one congreasional banquet is held each semester. The meetings held last year were full of pep. Bills such as the gasoline tax, ship subsidy, and rela­ tive to the taxing of eats were brought a little profit as well was received. At as follows: Albert Butler—Speaker. Carl Bauer—Secretary. Colon Schiably—Treasurer. Claude Kantner—Sargent at Arms. Messrs. French and Jones were serving us as faculty advisors when the year ended. Tho first session of thia year was held Monday, Oct. 1, in the legislative hall (room 20). AU members were pleased to note that tho same enthus­ iastic spirit, that aided so much in our success last year, was again evident. The meeting was called to order by the Speaker protein and the minutes of last meeting read and approved. At this time, a sad and rather-demented-look­ ing peach about as big as a dollar was found upon the speaker’s desk. It was ruled that said peach be awarded to the most orderly member of Congress. Even though the peaeh looked as if it were in tho last stages of consumption, tho proposal was received with great acclaim. More serious business foUowod and Speaker Butler’s rerignation was read and approved. We wore sorry to lose him for, despite his anarchistic tenden­ cies, he was a great help to the club. Election of______ a newSpeaker Speakerwas washeld held _________ —— the result being that Cong. Ritchie from Washington will hold the gavel this year. This ended the regular business and the first duty of the new Speaker was to award tho prize pooch. Mr. Hunt, who by the way,"is to work with Mr. Jones as our faculty advisor, in appealing tones and with heart-rending pathos, implored that his precious poach be not given away. It was learned that the peach was not government property, but was his private property, also that the peaeh had been given him by some member of the fairer and also more ferocious sex. He told how he had intended to frame that peach and plant the seed that he might for­ ever perpetuate the memory of its giver. Ending with a strong appeal for the rights of private owners he sat down amid the audible sobs and the pitter-patter of many tears. Even a nsrd “boiled” CongreMman eould hot withstand so pathetic an appeal and so it was decreed that the peach be awarded to Mr. Hunt, and thus ended the first meeting. The high-school band made its initial appearance at the Hastings-Allegan game. The boys show a wonderful imthat their help was greatly appreciated by the players, as they helped to in­ crease the display of school-spirit. There have been three new groups of camp-fire girls organized in high school, and one old group reorganized. There are about fifteen girls in each group, and the guardians of same are Mis* Sibley, Miss Van Winkle, Mrs. Wyatt, and Miss Hailwood respectively.

The Rosenthal Company is the Pioneer in the Corn Husker Business. This company was founded in 1896, and upon the safe old-fashioned policy of doing a few things well rather than many things moderately well. Instead of manufacturing a long line of farm im­ plements they make just two machines, and in these they have specialized. This is why the name Rosenthal has come to mean much to farmers, why they trust a machine that bears the Rosenthal trade­ mark. Below are some of the Special Fea­ tures that go to Make the Rosenthal Pop­ ular Separation of Shelled Com—Com, ac­ cidentally shelled, is separated from the fodder by a shaking sieve. The move­ ment of the shaker elevates the fodder to the blower. The shelled com passes through the sieve to the bottom of the shaker and over another sieve through which the blower draws the air, thereby cleaning the shelled com and permitting sand and dirt to drop out. The shelled com is delivered to the rear of the ma­ chine and into a basket Absolutely Safe—The feeder stands in front facing the machine and feeds the corn stalks downward into the hoppen. Broken-up corn stalks and waste and cleaning are simply fed into the hopper on top of the rollers. All working parts of the machine are carefully protected and absolutely safe to operate. Powerful Construction and Simple— The upper end of the rollers is for snap­ ping purposes. Each'roller is fitted with two interchangeable steel channels, which can easily be replaced when worn, thereby making the snapping portion of the rollers just as good as new. The loit­ er portion of the rollen is fitted with husking pegs. Each roller is solid and has a 2-inch steel shaft clear through the center. All the gears and pinions are made of steel. Goodyear Bros.

The real facts are: that if that flour, made in another state, is any good at all it is made from wheat grown right here in Michigan. Experience has proven that bread made from spring wheat soon dries out, and becomes hard and unpalatable. On the other hand, experience has shown, and the wheat market proves, that winter wheat grown in Michigan is the BEST IN THE WORLD from which to make flour, because the Michigan wheat always commands the Highest Price*. is made under the most favorable conditions. The mill is located in the midst of a section that grows the very best grade of wheat and which is delivered to the mill direct without any freight charges. And when it comes to making flour economically and in the best way, we know of no mill that can compare with this one. We run this mill night and day, year in and year out. It only adds a slight amount to our expense, but by doing it we get a 24-Hour Output at practically an 8 or 10-hour-a-day cost. This cuts our general expenses in two. These conditions enable us to guarantee every user of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR the best quality of flour at the same price as they would have to pay for an ordinary grade of flour. Why not try a sack today? Every grocer and elevator man in Barry county sells it.

Our people arc busy filling their silo* and finishing sowing wheat aad Not Veneer ryOne of the mothers nt the American Legion Children's Billet was burilv en­ gaged in giving her awaet littla baby girl of two months her morning bath. The child cooing delightedly while the mother was laughing and talking all sorts of baby talk, after the manner of mothers. The visitor at the Billet drew near and remarked on the happiness of the scene, at which the mother paused to make a most significant remark. She said, “Yes, I laugh with my baby now, but my heart aches just the same. I cried for many long months, but now is seems I cannot ery any more. I think my tears have all been shod.'' The words of this brave mother not only made a deep impression upon the visitor at the Billet, but they are a di­ rect challenge to the heart of every loyal American citizen, because they reveal the fact that some lives are .ex­ ceedingly bitter nnd filled with sorrow. The husband in this case is making a desperate fight for life, while the moth­ er nnd children are at the Billot—tho mother praying almost constantly for the recovery of her husband’s health and the restoration of her broken home. This man was among tho boys who went away to the great war, leaving the wife and family to got along as best they could. When ho returned ho was broken in health, and soon all their little savings were used up in living expenses and doctor bills. In the mean­ time, two more little children have been added to the family, and, follow­ ing a complete breakdown on the part of tho father, he was removed to a hospital and the wife and children were given u home at the American Legion Children’s Billet. Now the mother prays while her busy hands care for tho needs of her little family, and assist in caring for the many other children who aro given a home by the American Logion. But tbe fight for life on tho part of the husband is a losing one, and before long the mother must receive the sad news that her children are fatherless. Thia will be to her almost a crocking blow as sho has kept up her faith and hope that she is once more to have a home. It ia to help just such as these— whose tears have all been shed—and to whom life ia a long weary struggle, that the American Legion has estab­ lished the Billet at Otter Lake where brightness has been brought into many lives that were formerly dark and aad.

Kendall St., Battle Creek was arrested Monday on a charge of arson, complaint being made by Chas. Laue of the State Public Safe­ ty department. Barker is accused of setting fire to the barn of J. L. Mar­ shall, located on what is known as the Potter farm at Potterville, Eaton Co., on the night of September 25. This was a large, valuable barn, and was not insured for near its value. Several people saw a new WillysKnight sedan standing about 300 foot east of the barn, a few minutes be­ fore the fire broke out, and a man standing beside the car. It is said that the barn was fired just inside tho door, and was discovered at onee, tho doors being left open about three feet. About the same time, the car was driven away, and it is said the auto answered the description of Barker’s. This evidence, added to the other sus­ picions, led to a rigid investigation on the part of the people, both state and county officers assisting and doing their best. The morning following tho fire, a group of people stood in the road in front of where the barn had been, another fire blaze up ___ _____ over the fence from in the field just where the sedan had been left the night before. They ran to the spot and tried to extinguish the blaze, but soon discovered it was different than an ordinary fire and would not go out until completely smothered.

Peter Rasmussen, a Dane, who came to this country a few years ago, was taken into custody by Sheriff Parker on Friday. At the time the raid was made at the Charles Woods farm in Johnstown, and a still found on the premises, together with a quantity of moonshine, a war­ rant was issued for tho arrest of Ras­ mussen, whom they suspected as being a distributor of the boozo. But Ras­ mussen was quite foxy and has eluded tho officers all thia time, having left the Woods place three or four days be­ fore the raid took place, and Sheriff Burd was unable to locate him. Last week Sheriff Parker had a tip that Rasmussen wns in Flint, so author­ ized the officers there to get him and Friday tho offender was brought to Has­ tings.

A “KLANSMAN” SENDS A LETTER TO THE BANNER Too Oowardly, However, to Sign His Own Name to His Oommunication Tho writer received a letter, post­ marked at Chicago, last week, criticis­ ing our comments on the Ku Klux Klan. It was a typewritten letter but the writer of it lacked the manhood to sign his own name. He addressed tho BAN­ NER man by his front name, so that ho must have some knowledge of con­ ditions in Hastings. Wo have already given more space than wo should to a communication which tho author is too oowardly to sign, tho only signature being “Klanaman. ” Like tho hooded organization he represents, tho element of an open, honest, straightforward frankness in thia letter writer is lacking. The BAN­ NER continues to believe that the United States does not need a secret, hooded, invisible Klan or anything on that order to bolster up our civilization. Whenever the U. S. does need it, its civ­ ilization will have vanished. MRS. J, McELWAWTEM P0 Y RED CR0S9CHMN. ill Serve Until a Pl.—nent Appointment la Made 8 Mrs. J. E.

S ilea for women who demand the new styles first YIT’E have made a special pur­ ’ ’ chase of fine fabric Printzess coats, designed and tailored by Printz for the fall and winter season These charming models are fash­ ioned from the softest and richest of materials, trimmed with lux urious furs, and are all newest styles moderately priced. Why wait until cold weather forces you to choose hastily? Why not be among the first to wear one of these latest originations? Developed ip such deep-piled fabrics as Fashona, Framosa, Lustrosa, Velverette and Amolaine They have that wrappy tendency which brings them to the front in a small flare, where they fasten with a string tie or single buckle arrangement. Most of them are en­ hanced by ample collar and cuffs of the sea­ son's smartest furs—as lynx, fox, squirrel, beaver and wolf. Embroidery is used as a motif—generally on a side panel or sleeve. All of these new wraps are charming in their distinctive Printzess way, made for every type of woman. Graceful in every line they are the sort of coats that do not compete with woman’s In One Special Group beauty, but subtly enhance it. We invite you to see them all, while the season is only at its verge. There are so many styles that you will find it quite delightful to pick out the coat that suits you best from this authentic group. . And the price is surprisingly reasonable. In spite of the fact that furs and fabrics have steadily increased in price during the past season, you will know that in these Printzess coats now on display, you have more clothes value than is ordinarily represented in such garments. ._ *.

Looking back a few years we again sec the cream of our country’s man­ hood as they went forth to offer their lives for the ideals of their country. Now they have returned from foreign lands. Yet many of them arc still fight­ ing for their lives. It is for these especially that our organization works. Of course wo help our home boys and their families if needed but our atten­ tion is drawn most strongly to those in the hospitals. It is an honor to work for our ex-ser­ vice men who served us so faithfully. And nowhere can better work be done for them than in an organization con­ nected directly with their own Ameri­ can Lcgiop. • A 100% membership is essential at this time and will be necessary until every disabled Buddie has been cared for. Michigan has the honor of having tho first tubercular hospital for ex-ser­ vice men in the United States under the auspices of the American Legion. Tho Roosevelt American Legion Hos­ pital at Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan is caring-for over two hun­ dred men who contracted tuberculosis in service. It is more a .home than a hospital and the home spirit is main­ tained by the various Units of the Am­ erican Legion Auxiliary of Michigan who supply bathrobes, pajamas, slip­ pers, books, records and canned fruits for tho pleasure of the tired boys. It is not a duty but an honor to belong to the Auxiliary and participate in this worthwhile welfare work. The drain upon individual members is slight, these articles being furnished by the united efforts of all members. Let us demonstrate by our membership that we publicly and at all times ren­ der service to the disabled, encourage­ ment to the able, and by our remem­ brance of the dead " That we have not forgotten." If you are eligible—a mother, sister, wife or daughter, get in touch with an Auxiliary. „ — HEADQUARTERS for WORK CLOTHING of STANDARD QUALITY Boys Also Do Well tolUjiii,, Oct. 15.—A Mlehlgxx boy, Ch.He.

Miller wy «* member of the Michigan Agricultural .judging team which placed seventh among the 29 college teams entered. ' Competing against 87 of the best col­ lege student judges in the country (there were three men on each team), Miller stood first with both Jersey I and Holstein cattle and ranked high enough in tho other; breeds to load the entire contest for the sweepstakes award. . While M. A. C. teams have stood high before in the national competition, this is the first time that the premier hanora among individuals have been brought back to the state. The Michigan club boys judging team also won high laurels at the big show, finishing third among 20 teams from states scattering all over the country. Illinois and Connecticut won first and second places, respectively.

Ah Cupid I thou busy little fellow who next, pray tall, wilt thy skillful archery send into blissful ecstasies of love! With such careless indifference, oh so very carelessly, poor stricken Francis Angell passes by Doretha Edmonds while you, Cupid, thou eternal agitat-nr' of man’s feelings, art ruthlessly stab­ bing away and egging on his palpita­ ting heart. Like a prisoner in chains, bound and shackled,, Tom Parkhurst stumbles along in tho wake of Mildred Moore, but then ‘' love is blind. ’’ When school is dismissed ’tis then wo see ’em jest kinds edging towards each other. We see Lula Quist smiling ever *o bash­ fully over the top of her book at Hubert Marble, or i* it Leland Hawkins! Blamed if I know! Cupid, you little rascal, you certainly mixed things up here. As customary, Jack Reed is talk­ ing to his jewel, while Dorothy Long casts a fleeting “fare-well for tho day” glance nt Dick Potts who just happen* to look her way nt that particular time. Don’t you know, things like that alway* do happen at the right instant! Bash­ ful and shy as tho little freshmen seem, they’re not so slow ns they look. Last year's victims are still living in a bliss­ ful state of “love at first sight,” in no less persons than Doris Thomas nnd William Anderson. For all wc know, undoubtedly there are other freshmen attractions, but so shy and quiet nre the little fellows, we scarce enn toll just who Cupid has recently put on the “Cas­ ualty List.” Arion Foreman is quite n puzzle. Is it Bill Weeber or Gordon Clement or perhaps Frederick Rlocum! Lynn Francisco nnd Bpud Roush both seem to1 be in n rather sad and mourn­ ful state. Their very sighs might be interpreted in this eloquent manner. “Juliet! Oh Juliet! Where art thou!” To bring to a conclusion this lengthy manuscript, wc wish to mention that Mr. Hunt and company enjoyed the re­ cent musical number of the “Lecture Course.' ’ Do you think the freshmen look a little more intelligent this week than Rave You Noticed: last! If so, lay it all to the tests they Miss Beckett’s latest brown fur which have taken.

Why the Doctor asks: ”nn you drink coffee 7 TF you are troubled with -*■ headaches, insomnia, in­ digestion, or sluggishness of the liver or bowels, prob­ ably ono of the first ques­ tions your doctor asks is, “Do you drink coffee?" He knows, better than anyone else, that the drug, caffeine, present in coffee, tends to irritate the nervous system and is a frequent cause of disturbance to health. If coffee causes trouble, and you value health, stop coffee and drink Postum. Postum is a pure cereal beverage—absolutely free from caffeine or any other drug. It has a delicious flavor, that many people prefer to coffee. Your grocer sell 3 Postum in two forms: Instsnt Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup by theeddition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages) for those v.-bo prefer tho flavor brought cut by boiling fully 20 minutes. The cost of either form ic about one-half cent a cup. Money Won’t Buy Loyalty Loyalty, vigilance, alertness and service are four elements which every business man would like to believe are inherent in all of his employes. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has abundant evidence to show that such qualities are common to all but a negligible portion of its employes. This evidence comes in the form of unsolicited letters. As an example we quote one received from Mr. Wm. E. Small, of Fargo, North Dakota, written under date of September 11, in which he says: • "I wi«h to acknowledge the courier o! your station attendant, Mr. Grassell, of Grafton. I am used to receiving the best treatment at the hands of your Fargo Service Station men but this young man has the idea of service and accommodation raised to the nth power. "The soil around Grafton is about the slimiest, greasiest, blackest, and most all-’round de­ testable stuff in the world to get smeared up with but. notwithstanding this and notwith­ standing the fact that I was a total stranger to him and not one of his regular customers, when I drove into your station at Grafton after an unusually heavy down-pour of rain last week your agent at that point insisted that I remain in my car while be attached the chains over wheels and under fenders literally plastered with Grafton gumbo.

As I drove down to Grand Forks through a sea of mud but clean and comfortable I swore eternal gratitude to my friends, the Standard Oil Company, for all time to come. You are giving us real service up here in the Red River Valley and I, for one, appreciate if It was loyalty to the Company’s ideals of serv­ ice that caused this service station attendant to go far out of his way to render Mr. Small an extraordinary degree of service in an extra­ ordinary situation — and he made another friend for the Company. Such loyalty cannot be bought — it must be earned. Skillful management is one thing — shrewd buying is another — scientific manufacturing processes constitute still another — but the loyalty—the spirit—the morale—of the 27,000 employes is wnat has made the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) great—in size—in achieve­ ments—and in service—to the thirty million people of the Middle West Standard Oil Company 910 So.

The days of the horse-drawn truck in crowded city streets are nearly over. Many of the merchants who have felt that nothing would ever, take the place of tho horse-drawn truck where frequent stops and short hauls were necessary arc now operating electric trucks. The electric truck has replaced horses not only because it is cheaper and more efficient, but in many cases for purely humane reasons. Truly there is noth­ ing more stirring than the harrassed looking truck-horse thnt plies the crowded city streets, which seems con­ stantly unnerved by the roaring noise of automobiles. Veterinarians say it is just this thnt cuts the working life of tho average city horse, and constantly causes tho merchant heavy cartage losses. Recently a New York brewer who once used more than 200 horses replace-1 them with 58 electric trucks. This re­ duced tho delivery charges from 35 to 15 cents per barrel, or a net saving of $80,000 per year. The brewing company’s saving on real estate was oven more. To stable tho horses properly and house tho equip­ ment required over 122,500 square foot of building space, while the ■ electric tnicks are adequately garaged in n building of but 8,500 square feet of floor space—a total saving of 114,000 square feet, worth approximately $560,­ 000.

Cow hides and calf skins aro converted into ahoe leather by a process called tanning. The wear in your •hoes depends upon it. Bytan­ ning their own leather B-J know the wear­ ing qualities of their shoes. Treated rough, but still in active service It’s the way the leather is made that makes shoes wear. It is proper tanning that turns raw hides into tough leather. Endicott-Johnson are different from most other manufacturers because they tan their own leather. Over 6,000,000 sides of leather is their yearly production. E-J tanning not only gives you long wear in every pair of E-J shoes you buy but it saves you money. Don’t forget it when you buy his next pair of shoes. It's just as true of all the other E-J styles for men, women and children. Just look for the name “Endicott-Johnson” marked on the shoes.

As a surprise to tho Club members a couple of very amusing “stunts” were pulled off that continually “brought down the house.” While Congressman Ketcham was directing the singing, and just after “Old Mac­ Donald 's Fann, had been sung, in walked an old fanner appropriately dressed and carrying his belonging* in a sack thrown over his shoulder. After a lit­ tle parley between tho Congressman and the intruder, the stranger announced that he was “Old MacDonald” him­ self. A pistol report sounded and the old gentleman sank to the floor dead. Fred Stebbins, as undertaker, assisted by others, soon removed the body from the room, but it was soon in a casket and wheeled back into the room on a regular rubber-tirid conveyor, the cmket appropriately decorated with beet and carrot tops, celery, grass, etc. Mr. Ketcham announced that inasmuch as Old MacDonald had made himself fa­ mous through tho song dedicated to his farm, ho considered that it would be very appropriate if all members and visitor*, would arise and file by the re­ mains in stately line, aa a fitting trib­ ute to the deceased. In this instance tho supposedly deceased MacDonald looked so much like “Uncle Charlie” Bristol, that several local members took undue liberties with the corpse and commenced to tickle his nose with celery tops, and were rewarded with a smile from the deceased. But the solemn (I) part of the eeretnouy came when Will Stebbins, as a clergyman, pronounced an original funeral oration over the de­ ceased, that for humor was a classic. The routine business of the evening progressed along for a little while, (Continued on page two) A SPLENDID CONTRI­ BUTION FROM DELTON Delton Sunday School Class No. 2 Makes Nice Gift for Child’• Free Bed Fund No one can walk through the beauti­ ful new Pennock Hospital without be­ ing made a better man or woman, be­ cause this splendid institution stands as an expression of the love and sym­ pathy of the people of this county for the sick and unfortunate. It is not a money-making institution, and it is not often that hospitals even pay expenses. Trained nurses must bo kept on hand at all times, whether there is a patient in the building or not, because no onu can tell when some epidemic may break out or some catastrophe occur that might tax the capacity of the building. The respect of the people of this coun­ ty for Pennoek Hospital has been shown in many wavs and upon many different occasions. Ono of the most recent was from Delton Bunday School Class No. 2, taught by Mr. Barnes, which for­ warded $25.00 to Pennock Hospital for the Child’s Free Bed Fund. It is un­ necessary to state that the amount was very acceptable, because one of the things that any hospital can use, and is most always shy of, is money.

The application shall be signed by not less than ten freeholders of the township or township* in which the proposed drain may oe situated. One-half of the signers must be owners of land liable to an assessment for eo*ts of the proposed drain. If the district does not include ton freeholder*, it may be signed by any number who sure liable to assessment. Tho drain com­ missioner shall then either before or after a survey ordered by him, decide whether the drain is practical. If ho decides it is practical, he shall lay out a drainage district and have a survey made and give notice by publishing in a newspaper of general circulation in the county, a description of the drain and the names of the freeholder* whose lands will be traversed thereby. After a drainage district has been established and the order therefor filed with the county eomraisrinner, a peti­ tion to locate, establish and construct a drain may be filed with the commis­ sioner having jurisdiction of th* lands designated.

THE TWO GIRLS ES­ CAPED TUESDAY NIGHT Caught in Grand Bapidi Next Day—Two More Young Men in Meshex of the Law Mention has been made in the BAN­ NER of the charges made *g*i««t Vio­ let Welch and Beatrice Webb, twoyoung girls about 15 years old. Tuesday of last week they were taken before Probate Judge Eggleston, who has authority in *uch cases, and by this court were committed to the In­ dustrial Home at Adrian. The two young girls promised to be good, and stated that they had learned their les­ son. Inasmuch as the law would not permit their being placed in jail, the girls were given the privilege of stay­ ing with their people Tuesday night before being taken to Adrian Wednes­ day morning.

In spite of the fact that furs and fabrics have steadily increased in price during the past season, you will know that in these Printzess coats now on display, you have more clothes value than is ordinarily represented in such garments. At One Special Price $99.50 alizes. A recent estimate by a competent authority showed that in a certain private home the equivalent of about fifteen tons of anthracite coal was used for heating, while the equivalent of about thir­ teen and one-third tons of bi­ tuminous coal came through pipes, wires and the kitchen door in the form of gas serv­ ice, electrical energy and ice. of materials, trimmed with lux urious furs, and are all newest styles moderately priced.

Visiting physicians, aad doctors who have worked in this room, are unani­ mous ia declaring it to be the best and most completely .furnished room of its kind that they hats over seen or worked in. ' This splendid Maternity Room was furnished by the Pythlea Bisters, of Middleville, and is only another evi­ dence of the sincere sympathy of people, and organizations, all over the county for suffering humanity. Through some error in some way, the credit for fur­ nishing this room in such a complete manner as it has been, has not been given to the fine organisation of Pythian Bisters of which Middleville can surely boast. But great credit is surely due them, and as long as Pennock Hospital stands this Maternity Boom, one of the most important in the build­ ing, will remain as a monument to the thoughtfulness and broad-minded sym­ pathy of tho members of tho Pythian Sisters of Middleville. Only recently one of the well-known surgeons of Grand Rapids, who is fre­ quently called to Hastings, made a statement before a number of people in that eity, which was substantially as follows:—*‘If you want to see an ideal hospital, clean, unitary and fire­ proof, with a moot complete Operating and Maternity Room, you want to see Pennock Hospital at Hastings." When a small county like Barry ean maintain a hospital that wins and de­ serves such high words of praise from a visiting surgeon, It speaks well not only for the warm-hearted sympathy of our people, but also for their dis­ position to help, in a material way, to alleviate suffering. It is a matter of very sincere re­ gret that in the hurry and commotion of opening the new Hospital, the Pythian ladies of Middleville did not receive the credit for furnishing this splendid Maternity Room, and it is with pleasure that wo now give them tho credit that is surely their due. 1198 for women who demand the new styles first VX/E have made a special pur­ ” T chase of fine fabric Printzess coats, designed and tailored by Printz for the fall and winter season These charming models are fash­ ioned from the softest and richest OBITUARY. Margaret' E. Moulton was born in Richland county, Ohio, December 30th, 1842, end departed this life October 22nd, aged 80 years, 9 months and 23 days. When seven years of age, she with her parents moved to Michigan by ox team settling in Irving township. June 14th, 1804, she was united in mar­ riage to Wm. Henry Sisson and in the following year moved on their farm in Carlton township where they resided until 23 years ago, then moving to Freeport where she has lived ever since. Thirteen years ago her husband preceded her to the Great Beyond. There were born to them two children, Bucl W. of Hastings and Morton L. of Carlton township. Besides those two sons, she leaves to mourn their loss two brothers, David W. Moulton of Freeport and Isaac J. Moulton of Irv­ ing township, and one sister, Mrs. E. L. Jones of Sturgis, Michigan, two grandchildren and three great-grand­ children, besides numerous other rela­ tives and friends. At the time she came to this state it was nearly all a dense forest with trails through the woods for highways and she with other early settlers, by diligent toil, helped to make the surrounding countiy what it is today. She had a cheerful and loving disposition and will be sadly missed by all who knew her. The fu­ neral was hold Thursday afternoon at the Freeport Methodist church, con­ ducted by Rev. H. P. Rogers. Burial was made in Pleasant Hill cemetery. Relatives from away who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mr* E. L. Jones, Sturgis, Mrs. Forrest Jordan and son Morris, Lansing, Mr. and Mrs. Law­ rence Hilbert and Mrs. Rena Holly of Woodland, Mr. and Mra. Reuben Wol­ cott, Battle Creek; G. C.

In one respect, however, no immigrant has ever been disappointed; and that is in the provisions which America makes for the education of his children. The Polish Jew who was taught In secrecy, if at all, and in fear of imprisonment, finds hero that education is as free as 1 the raqjight. The German who was restricted to a few studios supposed to be suited to his station and was not per­ mitted to pursue the higher courses, finds in America that his children may attend any school for which they are prepared and that they sit side by side with the sons of tho wealthy and cul­ tured. Tho Englishman who was barred from tho privileges of secondary edu­ cation by the foes charged or by fail­ ure to procure a scholarship finds .that high schools, housed superbly, are open to all without price and without formali­ ty save that which is necessary to in­ sure academic readiness. In no other countly on earth is edu­ cation suitable to tho advancement of | the pupil offered without distinction of class and without cost to all who ap­ I ply. Americans know bo other way, I for their schools have been so conducted I from the beginning; but when Europeans | come to us they quickly observe end । generally appreciate the advantages which they enjoy for the first time. ! It often happens that the schools arc I tho deciding factor in determining de­ I sirable immigrants to remain when they i might otherwise bo persuaded to return to the homes of their childhood. ' • The American system of public edu­ cation is tho crowning glory of tho »oI rial system which has developed on this i continent. Every patriotic American regards it with pride and maintains it i with devotion.

Preston Roae of Has­ Orders for Past Month Have Been Exceeding Production by Over 50 Per Oent Orders for Endioott-Johnson shoes for tho past month have been running over 50 per cent greater than production. These orders represent the greatest vol­ ume of business which has been re­ ceived by the company during the en­ tire fall. The demand for footwear from retail shoe deniers requires imme­ diate delivery of merchandise in lots adequate to meet immediate require­ ments. Shipments of these orders are being made mainly from stocks of shoes, and approximately 50 per cent of these shipments are going forward by express. Production in four of the factories is being increased this week. New ma­ chinery is expected to arrive at Endi­ cott about November 1st, which will make it possible to increase production further. When any great concern, like Endi­ cott-Johnson, the great shoe manufac­ turers, launch an ^advertising campaign, it can bo taken for granted that the quality of the goods advertised must be all'that is claimed for them. Other­ wise tho advertising campaign would fail. The world's greatest and most successful manufacturers and business men arc the world’s greatest advertis­ ers, and appropriate hundreds of mil­ lions of dollars annually to advertise their wares. It stands to reason that with a reputation for their goods al­ ready established, they could not afford to do anything that would reflect upon the good namo built up after years of hard work. PECKHAM-WARNER. A pretty autumn wedding was sol­ emnized Friday evening, October 26, at nine o’clock, at the homo of Mrs. Blanche Struble on Jefferson street, where her daughter, Nellie E.

The bride was attired in an evening gown of beaded georgette, and carried a bouquet of bridal rosea. Immediately after the eeremony a dainty luncheon wan served, tho tables being decorated with chrysanthemums. Branches of beautiful fall leave* gave the wedding a very pleasing autumnal effect. The groom ia a senior at the University of Michigan and ia a grad­ uate of Olean High school, Olean, New York. Tho bride is a graduate of the local High school and Barry County Normal. Tho relatives and friends extend their heartiest wishes for a happy and pros­ perous life. MICHIGAN'S BUSIEST ROAD.

Coal is coming in; crops are rolling out. To so handle this addi­ tional traffic that it may be carried smoothly and without inter­ ruption to the normal year-round flow of raw materials and finished products is a task which finds every employee of Michigan’s twentyfour railroads, keyed and ready. Our personnel is at its highest point of efficiency. Our rolling stock is in virtually 95% perfect repair condition. Our road beds are in better shape than at any time since the dis­ aster of Government operation. We have bought 620 miles of new rail this year. Two seasons of prosperity of Michigan have permitted us to invest this year in new locomotives, cars and other betterments the record breaking sum of *75,980,881.26. Despite restrictions such as handicap no other business, Michigan railroads are solving—not their problem — but the problem of transportation that naturally follows the industrial, social and economic expansion of a prosperous state.

I Eveiy Red Cress chapter in the Cen­ tral Division which has had a public health nurse .wifi be interested to knew that its nurse was one of the 1,038 miblic health nurses in rural communities in this country who havo accomplished wonderful things. These nurses have enred for 175,000 phtiopts, have vimted 1,120,000 homos and inspected 2,000,000 in tho past year. These figures mean more than cold statistics to any Red Cross chapter in this state that has helped make this pos­ sible. Members of these chapters' rea­ lize that children have been made heal­ thy, that homes have been madp hap­ pier because of the improved health of tho entire family, that the community itself has taken on a new attitude through tho practice of simple health habit*. They have had tho satisfaction in many instances of seeing their demon­ stration appreciated by public authori­ ties to the extent of b*i*f*akcn over by^countyjjoards of supervised, the en­ tire expense Being nssijrfNJd. They have had the pleasure of- seeing rural school children given tho same benefits of health instruction ns thoir city brothers nnd sisters. They have seen clinies es­ tablished, hot lunches served, and phy­ sical defects found by the nurse and corrected by the physician. Mothers and f’big sisters” have been taught the simple rules of hygiene and home care of tho sick more than 30,000 certificates being awarded in one year. Nearly 6,000 certificates were given to women in the Central Division. It is to eontinue this health work and to spread it to the far corners of the country that tho American Rod Cross must keep up its membership. The Annual Roll Call will begin on Armiitice Day. THE LAWMAKING MANIA Uncle Sam is afflicted with the law­ making disease. His iaso is the worst in tho history of the world. Tho output is so large the law libraries cannot houy it, the lawyers cannot digest or nssimilate it. It ia said to be a fact that thf 48 state legislatures enact more laws than are oven proposed by five great na­ tions. Tho ratio before the war w«n fifty now laws in our country to one Ifr any great nation of Europe. It takto 650 large volumes to hold in printed form the Supremo Court opinions on questions of constitutionality. The law library of Columbia .University contains 100,000 volumes and increases at the rate of 8,000 a year. Why not stop manufacturing «o many laws, try en­ forcing some of them and repeal some of the others! A smaller legislative output would bo an evidence of political GLASS CREEK.

Again we are compelled to call at­ tention to the fact that the sending of grange, hospital, club, society, and like notices over tho phone to the BANNER on Monday and Tuesday I* strictly against tho rules of tho office. This Tuesday morning the first hour or so of work waa taken up with the re­ quests for us to take such notice*—thus crowding tho time on news items, want adv*., ahd paid notices, that have right of way. Mistakes aro often made in this way that would bo eliminated by a written notice. Tho BANNER furnishes space free for the majority of items of this class and it would seem as though sec­ retaries and heads of groups would co­ operate with us in this request as a mat­ ter of courtesy. Tho BANNER office phono is one of tho hardest worked ones in tho city. Help us relieve the situation by writing on a postal or handing a written notice to us in person. Tho secret of- tho trouble is most often procrastination—putting off the duty when it should be done, with the knowledge that as a last resort yon can telephone it in. There aro emergency notices at times wc realize must be priutod, and when explanation is made wo will bo glad to extend the courtesy by telephone.

HASTINGS TEACHERS’ CLUB PRESENTS Roderick White VIOLINIST TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6 at Eight o’clock ADMISSION FIFTY CENTS No Seats Reserved TICKETS ON SALE BY TEACHERS A Constructive Force ROM the day when its first refinery was opened, it has been the earnest endeavor of the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) to be a constructive force in the industrial life of the nation. F With all modesty we say — frankly, sin­ cerely, and with profound conviction—that this organization has been such a force. When this Company was organized, only a few products were taken from crude oil. Today, hundreds of products—useful, con­ venient, imperatively needed by the public at large—are taken from this single base. This industrial husbandry, redounding to the material benefit of mankind, is eloquent in demonstrating the kind of work which the Standard OU Company (Indiana) haa been doing year after year. This Company always has been a leader. The advanced work it has done in research, discovery, technical application, develop­ ment and manufacturing, has added much to the wealth of the world. Hundreds of industries have improved their manufacturing processes and largely in­ creased their productiveness because of the advanced work this Company has done— and such improvement has enabled the manufacturer to sell his products at a lower price than would have been possible other* wise. Became of the Company's advanced think­ ing, planning and preparation the price of petroleum product* generally hat been kept within reasonable bounds in the face of a demand which is unprecedented in history. Every factor in thia great organization ia carefully attuned to the constructive ideals of conservation, equity, fairness and justice, which in turn have operated in a compre­ hensive way to the distinct and material advantage of the thirty million people living in the Middle Western States.

We went baek as far a* Oraibi that night, whore tho superintendent, who knows George, had saved a three-room building for our party. The dance next year will be bold at Oraibi, nnd I think I shall want to go once more, not so much for the dance itself but for the trip through this very interesting Hopi country.

Wo climbed the narrow trail, almost like stairs in many places, where it was cut in tho rock, and. worn perfectly smooth by many bare or moccasined feet, that have traveled up and down it for no one knows how many hundreds of years. When we reached tho top, very tired nnd thirsty, wo patronized the tempo­ rary lemonade stand, where they sold poor, but cold lemonade. We mado our way along among the horses, mules and burros, it seemed there wore almost as many of them as there were poople, and at the back of tho houses, were tur­ keys, chickens and a few pigs. The crowd, wh’ch was the largest ever at­ tending the dance, was estimated to bo about two thousand, and included many famous people, Harold Bell Wright and Zane Grey, among others. We had about an hour of waiting and were glad of the time to look at the homos and their occupants. We noticed so many wearing moccasins with half dollars or other coins for the buttons, and so many of tho women’s waists were but­ toned down the front with dimes. Some of the babies were in little dresses, but many of them wore nothing at all. We climbed from ono roof to another by wooden ladders and went up and down several before wo found a place where there was room enough to stand with a good view of the Plaza. In the center of this open place is a high stone, called the Snake Altar, and at one side there was a pile of branches over the pit where the snakes were kept. This dance ia part of a religious cere­ mony of the Hopi Indians, a prayer for rain for their crops. For days before the ceremony they go out over the des­ ert to find tho snakes, mostly rattlers, to use in the dance. There were twen­ ty-four Indian men dancing with fea­ thers in their hair and their bare bodies shining with oil. They wore tight bands around arms and legs, and fastened at the baek of each belt was a large fox skin. They all wore moccasins and many bends. They came out in pairs, one of each couple had a wide, white circle around h'« mouth. They marched around the Snake Altar and in front of the pit where the snakes were they stopped to chant what sounded like “Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi. ” Then, when one of each couple had picked up his snake, they began marching and chanting again. The dancer with the white cir­ cle around his mouth held a snake be­ tween his lips a few inches from its head up, the partner kept pushing it away from the man's face with an eagle feather. Snakes were curling and un­ curling around their arms and there were some crawling on the ground. Af­ ter dancing some time, singing and by Comparison shouting, one dancer made a circle on the ground by throwing down corn It is both an Oldsmobile and a General This wonderful new sedan, with its hand­ meal in front of the altar.

Do You Think It Has Paid Mr. to Pay a Good Price for a Good Cow 9 Years Ago? Good Cow* Rightly Handled, Always Bring Good and Satisfactory Results ^ ARCTIC ICE CREAM COMPANY HASTINGS, MICHIGAN Republic education became of ___ mount importance to all tho citizens, for upon the diffusion of knowledge de­ pends the safety of the State. Gladstone is said to have appraised ths American Constitution as the "most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by tho brain and purpose of man." Recalling Mr. Gladstone’s re­ markable commentary incline* one to re­ flection on the quality of our Constitu­ tion. Why is the Constitution of the United State* a great document f Briefly stated, the great provisions of the American Constitution are— 1. It unite* the aeparate State* into a Nation, a. union for the common good of all; it set* up a Government which derives its just power* from the consent of the governed. 2. It sets a balance between centra! Federal authority and tho State gov­ ernments whieh, though shaken at timc*L has been admirably maintained for nearly a century and a half. 3. It defines the three branches of government—legislative, executive, and judicial—with such clarity and effective.; ncs* that serious encroachment by one branch upon another is next to im­ possible. 4. It provides for the making and enforcement of law*, not by "divine right" of king or by other, superim­ posed authority, but by representatives of the people duly chosen by the people. 5. It provides for a judiciarv designed to be independent, free from the hazards and changes of partisan polities and subject to the least possible undue in­ fluence. 6. It guarantees to each individual ail the rights of a free man, and espe­ cially guarantees the right to life, lib­ erty, and tho pursuit of happiness; it insures religious freedom and freedom of speech and the press. 7. It encourages industry and thrift, promotes equality of opportunity, ele­ vates womanhood, and fixes on indi­ vidual citizenship and the homo a* the proper foundation* of organized society. So we as citizens of this wonderful republic are coming to realize more and more that the safety and success of our nation rests with an educated people and that the influence of the public schools is becoming of greater value every year to tho nation. Each year tho Americas Legion and tho National Education Association have what is called Education Week, during which time everyone is urged to visit the schools everywhere possi­ ble and lend encouragement and inspi­ ration to both the instructors and pu­ pils. But the value of the whole ef­ fort will be lost if the visiting of schools stops with the one time. Keep on being interested and knowing what your children are being taught and what kinds of folk* are training them, and to compare the old methods and equipment with the present day stand­ ards and opportunities. It has been decided that Education Wook shall be observed this year from Nov. 18 to 24, and as was the case last year, each day will be set aside ns a day of stressing some particular phase of education which is national in its needs and significance. The dav* of the week will be observed as follows: Sunday, November 18, For God and Country; Monday, November 19, Amer­ ican Constitution Day; Wednesday, No­ vember 21, School and Teaeher Day; Thursday, November 22, Illiteracy Day; Friday, November 23, Community Day; nnd Saturday, November 24, Physical Education Day. hieiHSiwe r Ike Goo drich BUY YOURS TODAY—AS THE “ZIPPER" IS OVERSOLD UP TO JAN. 1ST Women's, 15.00 Mimes*, KOO BANNER WANT ADS BRING RESULTS A Good TAILOR IS A GOOD FRIEND!

Getting away to a good start in our game with Marshall, the local cloven shoved across tho Ione touchdown of tho game and O’Donnell supplied tho extra counter by a drop-kick. The re­ maining quarters, the two teams fought on nearly even terms. Hastings came within scoring distance in tho latter part of the game, but did not have tho punch to put the ball across tho goal. Hastings’ goal was threatened only onee during the game. At one other time, a drop-kick by Marshall hit tho crossbar squarely in tho middle, but bounded back into the field. Both of tho teams, most of tho time, played straight football, only a few passes be­ ing executed, two of which were suc­ cessful. Most of the gain of both were through line plunges. For tho greater part of four period* the ball was in Mar­ shall's territory. After tho lono count­ er of tho game the ball was continually changing hand*, and tho game was even­ ly contested.

In case of the death or total disability of the employee, tho in­ surance will bo paid directly to the beneficiaries he shall designate. All employees who have been a year or more in service will receive this in­ surance without medical examination and without any expense whatever to tho employees. No employee will be excluded on account of advanced age, impaired health or hazardous occupa­ tion. Employees who have not com­ pleted a year of service will bo auto­ matically insured whenever they shall have served a year. Tho beneficiaries will receive the insurance whether the employee meets death or total disabil­ ity while actually engaged in work for the company or not at tho time—for instance while on a vacation he might bo killed in a railroad wreck or by the accidental discharge of a gun. His death from any cause while he is on the company’s pay roll will bring to his dependents the insurance to which they arc-entitled under the Group pol­ icy. The amount will go directly to the beneficiaries named by the em­ ployee, and cannot bo attached nor ob­ tained by any persons except the bene­ ficiaries. The policy or insurance can­ not be assigned. If the employee him­ self becomes totally and permanently disabled before ho reaches the ago of 60, tho insurance benefit will bo paid directly to him. Tho Consumers Co. pays tho entire cost of the insurance. It will be good news to Hastings people to learn that all tho employees of tho Thornapplp Co., which tho Con­ sumers Co. took over some time ago, will share in thia insurance tho same as if they had boon employed by the Consumers Co, Tho insurance benefits start at $500 for one year’s service and increase by $100 per year for each added year, the maximum being $1,500 for one who has served for 11 years. We’ll say that is fine business, and we congratulate the Consumers Co. and its employees. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT NEAR LOWELL MINGS—ALL GOING AT ONE-HALF PRICE.

This is due to the fact that quarantine was but poorly observed, if not wholly disregarded. Two cases were reported by a citizen of the town to the Michigan Depart­ ment of Health last week, but when the state medical inspector arrived on the scene, six eases were found. Tho disease had a ready field for spreading itself in the schools and a potential scarlet fever epidemic now is threaten­ ing. Abject carelessness on the part of the local health officer is largely to blame for the situation. But for the efforts of a former health officer, the schools probably would have to close their doors. Tho Department of Health has the matter under advisement and due punishment will be meted out. A fine of 915 and costs has already been levied on one of tho persons disregard­ ing quarantine. It seems inconceivable that such vi­ tal things as health regulations should lie disregarded in this day and ago. If ignorance is bliss, than bliss is short lived if the ignorance concerns itself with health matter*. Only by the strict­ est adherence to quarantine regulations ean dangerous-communicable diseases be kept at a minimum. Those abusing the common welfare arc public nuisances and- will be prosecuted as such. CHILDREN’S WEEK. Children’s Book Week is again at hand November 11 to 17. Christmas ia also very near with its recurring need of buying gift*. Why not buy books for the children this year! There is nothing from which they will get more pleasure and profit the year round than a good book though it need not be ex­ pensive. Every child should have a book shelf of its own and should be taught to re­ spect and love books. A love of read­ ing will assure him of companionship and if ho reads good books, you need not worry about their influence upon him. Johnny Smith next door may not be just the associate you would choose for your boy. You are not sure that his manners and morals are all that one might desire and you have grave doubts about his English, but you may feel perfectly safe when your boy is playing football with Tom Brown at Rugby or climbing trees with Mowgli in India or hunting with Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest. It may not be necessary for your child to rend if you can answer all his questions and impart to him all the wisdom of ago*, inspire him with a love | of the beauty found in nature nnd art and fit him with ideals which will serve as an armor to keep him from sin. If you cannot do all these things, good books can. Sixty million people in the United Staten have no easy access to t»ooks. Your children have the advantage of a library. They should also have honks of their own that they may read again and again, books for every mood. From November 12th to 18th, there will be an exhibit of children’s books in the library and we should be de­ lighted to have you come and look them over. Ask the librarian for a list of children's books. v Jean Barnes, Librarian. was quite well attended and a goodly assortment of canned fruit, vegetables, and apples were contributed and made a nice gift to their minister.

Immediately the en­ tire machinery of the organization was put in motion and within 24 hours the fund campaign was moving with vigor in every part of the country. This emergency test demonstrated the peacetime readiness of the ’Red Cross to cope with stupendous tasks in behalf of humanity. Within a month it had collected upwards of >10,250,000 in con­ tributions, landed ten cargoes of sup­ plies at Japanese ports and was keeping pace with relief requirements—all with­ out a single dollar of tho fund being spent for administration. President Coolidge, in expressing his thanks to the people, said: “When tho news of tho tragedy in Japan first reached us, tho American Red Cross, pursuant to a proclamation, asked tho country for >5,000,000 to moot the groat emergency. The answer to this appeal was prompt and generous; in less than two weeks a sum far in excess of the original goal was given."

Monday morning while enroute to the Michigan State Teachers’ convention at Kalamazoo, three young ladies, teach­ ers in the Clarksville High school, had a very narrow escape from serious in­ jury or death when their car, a new ?*ord coupe, rolled over as they turned the corner two miles east of town, known as Bustance corners. We are unable to learn the exact cause of the accident but in some way in turning the corner the car turned over and by a miracle the top held enough to keep the weight off the young ladies or they would no doubt have been killed or at least received serious injuries. As it was, fortunately three other teachers in another coups with them assisted them out of the wreckage, and they were taken to Dr. Griswold's office, where the wounds were dressed and the young ladies were taken to their homes where they are recovering nicely. They were all badly bruised and ent but their injuries were not at all serious. The car was totally demolished. We were unable to learn for certain tho names of the ladies, but were told they were the Misses King and Simpson. If Keeps Me Awake Nights Postum for Health There’s a Reason BANNER WANT ADVB.

The purpose ia to convince the world of whnt is tho actual fact: that Western and Northern Michigan is one of the best regions in the world for growing apples and potatoes. It can­ not fail to benefit the people of Barry County to attend this show. Barry county can raise as fine apples as can be grown anywhere, and there are dis­ tricts in Barry county that are ideal for the growing of potatoes. Where care is taken in producing the best qualities, and in marketing in the pro­ per way, there is no question as to the profitableness of growing cither pota­ toes or apples, one year with another. And Michigan fruit might be made dominant in the central states because. of its superior quality. Below are some statements from lead­ ing men in this section of the state as to the value of the Apple aud Potato Show:— Eugene Davenport, Past Dean, Illin­ ois Agricultural College and Nationally Known Writer:—“I am glad that the growers of apples and potatoes are to have a showing of Michigan products. This is one of the most profitable forms of co-operation among producers. The consumers of even such standard foods as these need constantly to bo educa­ ted as to varieties and uses and the show is one of the best ways of doing it-’* Chas. W. Garfield, Chairman of Board, Grand Rapids Savings Bank;—“The elements of rational State development can be co-ordinated and given public­ ity in no more effective manner than through a well organized exhibit of choice products. Let us maintain our vision of success and in a large attend­ ance and active participation in the deliberations of tho Convention help ad­ vertise the capabilities of our State in tho crowning purpose of growing and disseminating the best Apples and Po­ tatoes in tho World.’’ Lee H. Brice, Secretary of Grand Rapids Association of Commerce; — “The progress and prosperity erf any community such as western Michigan depends not only upon the industrial development, but also upon agricul­ ture. The principal agricultural crops of Western Michigan ere apples and Catoes. Many of us as business men ’e for years overlooked the value of these two crops to our territory. Those of us who receive a direct or indirect benefit from the production of these two important agricultural crops should give tho Michigan Apple & Potato Show our moral and financial support. The only manner in which we can sup­ port the event financially, is to attend the show and tell others likewise. If the show can be made self-sustaining, It will be made an annual event in our cago, for a scries of talks on Life Prob­ lems of the Individual, the Family end Society, December 17, 18 and 19. Tho detailed schedule will be announced Dr. Winfield Scott Hall, of North­ western University Medical School, Chicago, in addition to being a lecturer of international reputation, is an au­ thor and a teacher. Ho is a leading authority on the subject of Hygiene. Wo consider ourselves fortunate to secure him. His messages should bo heard by all, and his program will be so arranged as to include a wide range. The Doctor handles his difficult and delicate topics with remarkable tact. He is no sensationalist, but honest and genuine, and he is fully equipped by both scientific training and experieneo. Professor Emeritus of the medical fac­ ulty of Northwestern University, after twenty-two years of active teaching. Author of standard works on social hygiene and sex education. Famous lecturer on eugenics, social ethies, home and health problems. Last year he gave nine hundred and fifty-one lectures to an aggregate of more than 183,000 people, mostly college men and women. Dr. Hall talks on the essential prob­ lem, racial betterment and social ad­ vancement. He speaks with the intelli­ gence of a trained and experienced phy­ sician, with the thoroughness and frank­ ness of an expert teacher, and with the idealistic and ethical motives of a true gentleman. Tho biologic, socio­ logic and hygienic facts essential for a comprehensive discussion of social and health problems are presented in a scholastic yet thoroughly understand­ able manner. Men and women interested in per­ sonal health, efficiency, happiness, ra­ cial and social, betterment are invited to attend one or more lectures.

One crisp and sparkling November morn, while the tnng of last night's frost still pervaded the air and while tho dew still clung in showers of pearly drops upon barren bough and damp, wot leaves, hunters—Messrs. Murphy, Junes and Kyser—journeyed forth in tho early morn. Because of previous excursions. Brothers Jones and Kyser were able to guide their wandering steps hither, thither nnd yon without fear of losing their way; however, Mr. Murphy, not accustomed to the lay of tho land and being such an advanced civilized human being thnt he had no knowledge of the primitive Indian ways of finding his whereabouts, lost himself in the wild nnd dangerous un­ dergrowth and barren, bleak fields which are situated about four or five miles south of town. He could not climb a tree, because in the first place, there were very few trees in which he cared to trust his precious being, and in tho second place, he dared not shout for fear of arousing the .ferocious rab­ bits that were said to haunt that re­ gion.

The following article was written by Ruth Tabberer as a summary of the discussion. Bilent and Oral Reading. LAWS OF MICHIGAN ' Reading, Webster defines, as the “study of books.’* We may say with Bacon; “Beading maketh a full man, DESCENT AND DISTRIBUTION conference a ready man, and writing OF PROTERTY an exact man." Therefore we consi­ der it absolutely necessary that every boy or girl learn how to read and read correctly. Bring able to read, pupils INHERITANCE TAX LAW are then able to study other subjects. We have three distinct aims for teach­ ing reading namely,—the interpretation of the printed page; the cultivation of 17th edition—Juat issued. the love of good literature; and oral Mailed free on request. expression. These aims arc best, ma­ terialized by having the children do n large amount of silent reading and some oral reading, florae arguments in favor of silent reading are: we read more rapidly;—we are better able to get the thought; and silent reading is Grand Rapids the most practical. Oral reading involves four processes —the visual process, the vocal-motor process, the auditory process, and the idea. Silent reading involves only two of these processes, the visual and the idea. Therefore it is easily scon that we ean reed more rapidly when read­ ing silently, than when reading orally. In the second place, when rending si­ lently we get more thought from the A printed page than when rending aloud. In silent reading we take in more words in an eye pause than we do in oral reading and thus we read more rapidly. Tho rapid readers are the ones who get the thought of what they arc reading— while rending aloud the children arc centering their attention upon the pro­ nunciation of words and not upon get­ ting the thought. . Finally, wo read silently every day of our lives, while wc scarcely ever road orally. Why, then, teach something that is seldom, if ever, used! No method has been discovered, as yet, by which ailent reading, to any great extent, may he effectively taught in tho primary grades. It is quite nec­ essary thnt beginners read orally. We can introduce the method of silent reading in these grades by hnvijig the children read tho whole sentopco silent­ ly at><then toll it aloud.^However in the intermediate jgades we should teach silentreading almost entirely.

In 1556 established the ghetto of Koine, and It existed until 1885. when It wax removed to make way for the new embankment of the Tiber. The Jew-a were at one time closely confined to that section of the city and were not allowed outside the limit* unless dis­ tinguished from the Christians by wearing, the men a yellow hat and the women a veil of the same color.

Crop Improve­ ment Association in a meeting hold at the Michigan Agricultural College this There is said to be a clover and al­ falfa seed shortage this fall all over the United States, with heavy impor­ tations of seeds which are not adapted to Michigan conditions expected from foreign countries. A warning against use of this seed, which has proved to be a failure when planted in the state, was issued. Especially Aeavy clover seed importations from Italy, and al­ falfa seed shipments from Africa and Argentina are looked for. That Michigan fortunately had rela­ tively good success in its clover seed production this season, was brought out by tho association officers, the state being said to rank first in the country this year in the production of seed for this important crop. Use of this home­ grown, adapted seed is urged by the association, while emphasis is placed upon the need of securing northern grown stocks of alfalfa seed, of known origin. Another important seed situation brought out centers around the fact that early frosts in the corn belt and wet weather in Michigan have resulted in much damage to seed corn stocks and resultant shortage. In an effort to meet this need and guarantee adequate supplies for next spring’s planting in the state, the Crop Improvement Asso­ ciation directors took steps in their meeting to have drying facilities on farms wherever possible and at the state farm bureau seed department.

Lansing, Nov. 11—The astounding •news that Governor Alex J. Groesbeck came out favoring a gas tax before the delegates to the State Good Roads con­ vention at M. A. C. recently has not only thrown th* Capitol into an uproar, trot hns stirred up waves of popular -attention and interest which have been felt in all jmrts of the state. This mtiuation has demonstrated once more that ith© gas tax question is a very live is­ sue in Michigan today and that the people are keenly aware of the reason why we do not- have a state gas tax in force in Michigan today. The eleventh hour change of heart appears to be a belated reversal of executive sentiment. After all, there are but few politicians who do not eventually find out which way the wind of overwhelming sentiment is blowing and get into line a* gracefully as pos­ sible. It occurred only a few hours after the Governor and his administra­ tive board had authorized the issuance of three million dollars' worth of addi­ tional highway bonds, bringing the present‘total up to $35,000,000. Th* Governor’s advocacy of the gas tax idea could hardly be regarded as whole-hearted and unreserved. He is quoted as saying, “I am for the gaso­ line tax if we can make it an equitable tax and make it meet the needs of tho situation. ’ ’ It did the soul good to hear the Gov­ ernor point out the inequalities of tho present system of auto license fees. There were no “if* and and*” about that part of his remarks. He said in part, “Tho present automobile license luw is *o full of inequalities that it may not bo defended on any score. Whatever plan of road financing we adopt, let it be seen to that tho present inequalities and injustices are elimi­ nated.” In another of his statements the Gov­ ernor said that there is no decency in certain automobiles paying at the rate of 70 cents a hundred pounds for their license fee, while heavily loaded trucks pay only 30 cents. The Governor fur­ ther urged that in whatever measure is passed, heavy freight trucks bo made to pay an equitable tax. It is interesting to recall that this program of a two-ccnt gnsolinc tax coupled with a nominal license fee, is identical with that which was sponsored by tho Michigan State Farm Bureau during the recent legislative session and which was so bitterly opposed by the Governor at that time. At the very time when the Governor vetoed the Warner two-ccnt gas tax bill, declaring that it would raise twice as much reve­ nue as required, the Senate had under consideration the Johnson bill to re­ duce the annual motor vehicle license tax to 82.00 and to provide a weight tax on commercial vehicles. If the gas tax, with its companion bill to reduce license fees, is desirable today, it is inconceivable that it could have’ been so vary wrong last spring. Why the change in attitude 1 Col. Sidney IL Waldon, president of the Detroit Automobile Club, and tho man who worked so strenuously against the gas tax when it was before tho Leg­ islature, announces that ho does not favor any clever schemes to trade the rural law makers into giving Wayne county their reapportionment requests in return for a gas tax. The farmers prob­ ably would look at it quite differently. They would no doubt say that they have no desire to swallow the proposed reapportionment hook, even though the gas tax were used as the tempting bail. If the gas tax were included in the call for tho special session of the Leg­ islature to meet next month, it is evi­ dent from past experience that it would go through both Houses with ease. Then probably the understanding would leak out of tho Executive Office that unless a satisfactory reapportionment bill wore duly pawed,”a second gasoline tax veto might bo expected. The present situation is as interest­ ing as it was unexpected. Whether tho gas tax is now being adopted as a life preserver or whether it is being thrown out as a bait, is a* yet impossible to determine. In time of sorrow, it is a comfort­ ing thought to know that you can to take entire charge of all funeral arrangements.

That ia true, but there are considerations of more importance. In tho yearn following the world war text books of American history were ■“re­ vised” by their authors along interna­ tionalist hues. The stories of American heroes and tho thrilling anecdotes that are found throughout the story of the Republic were rewritten in a matter-offact stylo or deleted entirely. Where formerly the student had felt his blood tingle nnd had swelled with patriotic pride as he read the stirring tales of tho early years of the country, his in­ terest was’completely lost when his his­ tory author informed him that tho Rev­ olution was merely a difference of opin­ ion and there was no adequate cause for tho War of 1812. Fortunately for the youth of the country, various in­ dividuals and patriotic organizations have investigated and exposed the in­ sidious influence of those denatured American history text books, and sev­ eral of them are being revised again baek to their earlier standards of Amereanism. Not only the form and type of our school books must be attractive, but the TEXT must tell the truth and in a way that will bring inspiration to the student. STRAW PAPER. Farmers of tho Middle West will watch with keen interest the results of tho effort of Becker & Co., the largest handlers of pulp wood in the world, to use straw in making paper. According to recent dispatches from Montreal, the head of that firm is in Winnipeg com­ pleting arrangements for constructing a new pulp mill which will use western straw instead of pulp wood. A mill is to be placed in each of the prairie prov­ inces. Straw pulp mills are said to be in successful operation in France and Italy. If straw from western forms can be mode into paper, there will not only be some small added rev­ enue for tho farmer but a saving to each state in its purchases of paper, on which freight charges must now be paid. Moreover, use of straw for this Eurpooe will effect a saving in our tim­ er resources.

One way to make a tough piece of, meat tender ia to scar it on all sides, in a hot pan or to plunge it in boiling water. Tho meat is then put in n cov­ ered container with littlo wntcr andj simmered, not boiled, until it is tender. Another way to make meat tender is to immerse it and let it stand for sev­ eral hours in a mixtuso of salad-oil and vinegar before cooking, using two parts of oil to one of vinegar. A third method is to cook it in to­ mato juice instead of water A fourth b to grind it nnd add n small quantity of fat, as in making hamburger steak. Perhaps the best wny of all is to cook it in a pressure cooker. This takes from one to one nnd three-quarter hours under ten pounds pressure, according tn the size .and toughness of the cut of moat.—From the November Delineator. SAVE ON OILCDOTH.

This assures the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE, for it double* our output, and we own our own plant and water power. • FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR reduces living expenses, and is the most ECONOMICAL for the house­ wife, because of the best quality of wheat and the best processing known to the flouring business. When you buy FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR you not only get all the flour goodness of the best Michigan winter wheat, but you get such an even, perfect granulation as will enable the housewife to get more loaves of bread and better bread from a sack of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR than from any other flour. And it will also hold moisture better. If you aie not now using it, we invite you to make the test. If you are, you know all we have said is so. There is more of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR used in Barry county than of all other flours combined. 'French's Floar Makes Good Cooks” H. 8.

THE STORE FOR DAD AND LAD STOCK REDUCTION SALE! Sale Starts FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY YOUR WINTER FOOTWEAR ! Everyone knows that we have had a delightful Fall—BUT IT HAS BEEN NO GOOD FOR THE SHOE BUSINESS. For the past three or four years we have been having just such fine Fall weather. This year we figured thaf we would probably have one of the old-fashioned Michigan “early Winters," so we bought heavily of winter-weight footwear. This was an error of judgment on our part, for which we are going to GIVE EVERY ONE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROFIT. We appreciate that it is very unusual to put on a Price Reduction Sale in footwear at this time, with the hardest Winter months of the year ahead of us, but there are TWO principal reasons for doing it: FIRST—our policy has ALWAYS been to dispose of all footwear during the season for which it was purchased. We do not want to carry our Winter footwear over for an­ other year. We would rather sacrifice profit and have the ready money to meet other bills. We believe it is “good business,” and following this policy will always enable us to present a clean, Fresh stock for the benefit of our pa­ trons. SECOND—WE MUST HAVE MORE ROOM. As you well know, our store is rather limited in size. Our heavy Winter footwear such as Rub­ bers and Overs are now coming in. We MUST have the room to put them. There is one special FACT that this store always takes just pride in, and Men’s Shoes at $3.18 Growing Girls’ Shoes Brown Calf Blucher—Black Calf at $2.98 Blucher—Black Kid Blucher.

We appreciate that it would be the poorest kind of poor business to knowingly do one-single thing that would lose; the Good Will of our customers, because that is one of our best assets. We expect to remain in business here for a long time, but we know that we couldn’t do that by disregarding the Good Will of our pa­ trons. A good substantial shoe business, nor any other business, cannot be built up through deception. And when you read the prices quoted below just bear ip mind that thio isn’t a "Close Out" of any old, shop-worn, out-of-date stock. It isn't a sale of stock that has been damaged by fire or soaked with water. Neither will it be a sale put on by any "Fly-by-Night” concern that comes to town, re­ mains a week or a month, until the shoddy quality of its goods commences to show up, and then departs for some new field to exploit. EVERY ARTICLE THAT WE OFFER YOU IS NEW FRESH STOCK, BOUGHT FOR THE WINTER OF 1923-24. When you consider this FACT you will appreciate the splendid VALUES offered, and will realize that NOW IS THE TIME and THIS IS THE PLACE to anticipate your Winter Footwear requirements, and BUY NOW at the reduced prices.

Do you know that there ia a shocking misuse of alang worda in the high school at present! Many pupils arc using slang that is entirely out of place simply be­ cause they, do not understand the mean­ ing of the expressions and how they should be used. It is not the purpose of this article to condemn slang. Rather wo would atop thia unjustified abuse of alang words by defining tho meaning of some of the most common expres­ sion's and telling how they should bo used. It ia hoped in this way that careiea* students will learn to apeak slang correctly so that tMlucnted people may understand them. Following are a few common worda and their accepted mean- Don’t Blame The Hen! Whose fault is it if your hens don’t lay eggs? Before you blame the hen, ask yourself these questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Am I feeding a proper egg-making ration? Is it manufactured by scientific authorities? Am I sure the feed is always uniform? Has it been proved by others in practical tests? The way to answer “yes” to all four questions is to feed Purina Chicken Chowder and Purina Hen Chow—made and guaranteed by feeding authorities, proved by mil­ lions of poultry raisers.

Cat’s toe-nail—Thia is tho new stylo of manicuring affected by the ultra-fashionable freshmen. 4. Cat’s eyebrows.—Thia may bo used with propriety in speaking of the arch look that certain young la­ dies bestow upon more favorable ad­ mirers. 5. Damfino.—Thia is the name of a candy—not the proper answer to a question in history. 6. Great Jumpin’ Jupiter.—May lie used in almost any place except church with propriety. Excessive use should be avoided. 7. Gold-fish tongue.—Ono should nev­ er order this at a restaurant. Thia ia only an abbreviated way of saying "Si­ lence is Golden." > 8.

Its use has spread so that it now includes several others. 10. Mosquito’s jaw. — Definition must be withheld for fear of hurting someone’s feelings. 11. Boob.—A person who studies his lessons. 12. Darn nut.—A person who thinks there’s music in tho hand on his cap. 13. Poor fish.—Rather an indefinite term. Meaning „ is slightly „ .. obscure. 14. Barney Google ’» stare. — Tho kind Miss Barnes gives young cut-ups in tho library. 15. Spark Plug gallop.—The original terra was applied to the .pace Spud Roush sets when he takes the pigskiu through the line. Meaning may now apply to freshmen running in the hails. 16. Roundhead. —■ Name commonly given to persons whose ivory dome ia slightly cracked through emptiness. 17. Quito the berries.—Almost any­ thing may be quite the berries. It is considered good form to use this in af­ ter-dinner speaking. 18. Hard boiled.—This is used in reference to the worldly wise seniors who have been boiled in the High school cauldron for four years and arc just beginning to lose the simpleness/of mind so noticeable among the under­ classmen. 19. Hand painted.—Applies mainly to flappers. 20. Bee’s knees.—The writer has never been able to find tho exact mean­ ing of thia term. It may be used on all occasions and may mean moat any­ thing. Anyone interested in the correct use of slang, who deairea to investigate this matter further, will find more detailed information in the library. Just ask Miss Barnes for the new book entitled "Five Thousand Slang Words and How to Use Them." At last the impossible has happened.

Conquering Time HE WORTH of a man is measured by his usefulness. T When many men are grouped to perform a common task for the common good they be­ come an institution. The same measuring rod applies to the inititution as to the individual. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an institution—a big institution. It is big in size because it renders a big service. Perhaps there is no phase of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service which is more sig­ nificant or more far-reaching in its benefits to man than the means it furnishes for the con­ servation of time. It enables men to do the work of the world easier and in fewer hours. It speeds up every phase of industry. The manufacturer can produce more mer­ chandise because Standard Oil products enable him to run his machinery at higher speed. The farmer can cultivate more land and raise greater crops because Standard Oil productsenable him to use power-driven farm machinery. The doctor can see more patients because Standard Oil products have enabled him to substitute the automobile for the horse. The salesman can display his wares to twice as many buyers by utilizing Standard Oil products ana the automobile. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service lengthens man’s three score and ten by in­ creasing his capacity for accomplishment. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of the part it has taken in furnishing the means for men to annihilate time and distance through controlled and directed effort. It is proud of the fact that it has been able to benefit so many industries by taking so many products, varied and useful, fum the single base—crude petroleum. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of the leadership it has earned in the petro­ leum industry. It is proud of its organization of 27,000 men and women through whose loyal, earnest efforts it is able to render such a superior service as to have earned the respect and confidence of the thirty million people of the Middle West.

An Instrument invented by a Ger­ man scientist automatically makes an accurate map from two photograph* of the Mine ground area that have been made by photographer* from air­ plane*. in Michigan—the “Better Service” you hear about and enjoy—is being provided you despite the severe hanriicaps imposed by a multitude of special laws. Such laws have established certain governmental bodies entirely separate and without co-ordination. These bodies fix our rates for carrying freight and passengers—pass judgment on all of our security issues and other financing—specify the working hours of our employes and the wages we must pay them—limit our profits, when there ARE profits, to a small and definite maximum—have* full jurisdiction over our tax assessments—restrict rigidly our methods of competition — hedge about, with a multitude of re­ strictions, every department of our operations. Michigan’s 24 steam railroads honestly try to obey every one of these laws. We do not even ask for a lightening of this load. But we do maintain that this present burden should NOT be INCREASED. . We are furnishing you today the best transportation you have ever had. With conditions unchanged, we can see our way clear to still further improving our service. Give us a square deal — an honest chance. And let this Association know you consider this a reasonable request. We urge our patrons to take advantage of this remarkable sale of high-grade Aluminum Ware. Never have we been able to offer yon guaranteed ware of this quality at such low prices. Indications point to higher prices on Aluminum Ware in the near future, and housewives will do well to replenish their kitchens during this sale. THOS. A.

' Beekeepers have found that aid' in the form of packing for the hires, or removal to a sheltered cellar, makes it much easier for the bees to resist cold and results in better chance for them to live through the winter and in stronger colonies in the spring. “The beekeeper who plana to pack his bees outside should first make sure that they have approximately 40 pounds of stores,” says B. H. Kelty, of the entomology department at tho Michi­ gan Agricultural College. “If this amount is not present, they must be fed sirup made by boiling equal weights of sugar and water, to which is added a very small amount of weak acid, for ten or twenty minutes. The sirup is given the bees in the evening, thus lessening tho danger of robbing. “When tho bees have sufficient stores, they can be packed in wooden packing cases, made from dry-goods boxes or specially prepared matched lumber, large enough to allow four inches of packing on the bottom, Six inches on the sides, and one foot on the top of the hive.

Ton years ago Christmas Eve Carol­ ing, especially by Itinerant group* through the streets of town and village, was almoat unknown in thia country. The beautiful old cuatom that had once been universal in England had all but died. The widespread adoption of tho Com­ munity Christmas Tree did much to bring the carols to public attention again. Yet the singing of the charming old Yuletide songs for the public bene­ fit was all too infrequent and the gen­ eral absence of the “waits,” the trav­ eling bands of earolers, in their pic­ turesque red cambric caps, waa particu­ larly regrettable. The National Bureau for the Ad­ vancement of Music, which ia inter­ ested in extending more widely the in­ fluence and utilization of musie among the American people, saw in the Christmas caroling one of the most in­ spiring uses of song, as a satisfaction to the singer, a joy to the community, and a means of expressing the Christ­ mas spirit. In 1917, therefore, short­ ly after its own inception, the Bureau, at the suggestion of C. A. Grinnell of Detroit, began working actively for the country-wide expansion of the custom. It pointed as a model to the splendid organization for Christmas ringing that had been worked out on a ' city-wide scale in Detroit. As a further aid to the movement the Bureau issued its booklet, “Christmas Eve Caroling Be­ ing Revived,” giving a brief outline of the history of the custom and in­ structions for procedure to those in­ terested in carrying out the plan localBy this time the movement bad made considerable advance, and in the first edition of the booklet, a year after ef­ forts were made to revive the move­ ment, 30 cities and towns in which out­ door caroling had been introduced were included. There were undoubted­ ly more than this number, but the Bu­ reau had not tho facilities for tracing them. Communities that are taking up Christmas caroling this year for the first time ean get full information in regard to the custom from the Nation­ al Bureau for the Advancement of Musie, 105 West Fortieth Street, New York City.

He was, therefore, con­ fronted with the necessity of finding another way to make his living. Laughing in tho faee of adverse cir­ cumstances, Janeschek applied to the U. 8.

As a result of this training under supervision of the Bureau he waa able to start life over again—this time on a farm of his own. Just a little tract of land compris­ ing two acres Ya'all that he boasts. But on this land he keeps enough bees and raises enough poultry to make a good living.

There is no day in all tho year so wholly American aw Thanksgiving day nnd there is no dny in the year when greater opportunity is offered for reviving our patriotism and making manifest our love of coun­ try.

But because our crops have been good and our industrial conditions satisfac­ tory, let us not forget the necessity of careful living, let us not spend our bounty in extravagance, let us never be wasteful of that which has been pro­ vided.

BUY LIBERALLY OF CHRISTMAS SEALS Sale Starts Immediately After Thanksgiving ' Day The Barry County Tuberculosis So­ ciety will open its sale of Christmas Beals immediately after Thanksgiving. After the business district has been solicited, the school children will visit the residential part of the city with the seals. They are very pretty this year and will add to the attractiveness of Chrisamaa letters and packages be­ sides helping the Tuberculosis Society in its campaign against disease. Every­ one is urged to buy all tho seal* they can possibly use. After buying seals Slace one on your front door or winow and tho children will know that you are supplied. The Hastings schools plan to divide tho city into sections, each room being responsible for a certain section; in this way it is hoped to avoid duplica­ tion of effort on the part of tho children and save the public much annoyance. Attractive prizes are being given to the schools this year. A very nice Bird Book with colored plates of birds all children should know. Three of these books will go to the rural schools sell­ ing the greatest number of seals per capita, one book to tho room in tho schools of Nashville, Middleville, Wood­ land and Freeport selling the greatest number of scab per capita, and two books for the Hastings schools. Besides the books, each child selfing twentyfive or more seals will receive a Red Cross hangle, and the children selling fifty or more seals will receive a dou­ ble barred Red Cross button. The quota for Barry county is one thousand dollars. We fell short of our quota last year about two hundred and fifty dollars. Let us all buy liberally and help in this way to make health conditions better in our county and state. Mrs. Hattie Stevens will have charge of the seal sale in Middleville and so­ licit tho business district before turn­ ing tho seals over to the school. HASTINGS WON DE­ BATE FRIDAY EVENING Kalamazoo Normal High Se­ cured One Vote From Judges Our debating team came through with flying colors last Friday night, Novcmber 23rd, and beat the Western State Normal High debating team by a two to one decision. The debating team composed of Francis Ritchie, Veta Arm­ bruster and Claude Kuntner ean be well proud of their work, as Western State Normal had a fine team. The judges of the contest were: Professor Eubanks of Albion college, Professor Searles of Olivet college, and Mr. Leddick of Holland High School. Mem­ ber* of the opposing team in the order of their speeches were: Grace Renwick, Nelson Young, and Stephen Lewis. Francis Ritchie started the debate and carried himself like an experienced debater. Veto Armbruster, our second speaker, spoke in a very convincing manner and lived up to what we ex­ pect from her. The third speaker, Claude Kantner, concluded tho argu­ ments of our speakers and moreover knocked the bottom out of several of the other team’s pot theories. After the different speakers of both teams had given their speeches, the rebuttal followed and then the climax of tho debate, the decision of tho judges. Mr. Wallace, the chairman of the de­ bate, eoolly counted the ballots of the different judges and it was found that our team had won the debate.

Dairying NUMBER 31 CRIME: THE CAUSE ANDCUREAREGIO JUDGE BROWN S REMARK­ ABLE ADDRESS TO BUSI­ NESS MEN . SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND MASTERS HUMAN WILL We Can Control Evil Desires Which Develop Into Crime, Says the Judge It was a wonderful address which the members of the Credit Exchange and Merchants’ Bureau were privileg­ ed to hear Tuesday evening of last week, which was given by Judge Wil­ liam B. Brown of Grand Rapids. Judge Brown is not content to be just a judge; he is not content to bo just a student of law. He 1* both—a thoughtful judge and a student of law* But he is something more. He is a student of human nature, and especial­ ly interested in investigation into tho causes that lead people to go wrong and to commit crimes. His address of Tuesday evening gave evidence of hi* great capacity for thorough investiga­ tion and for sound judgment based upon facta in human life. The judge is a droll humorist also, and his sallies of dry wit were keen and heartily appreciated by hi* au­ dience. Ho started out with a statement that is quite apt to be true: that a preacher would be thinking of what he would say and do if he were a law­ yer, or a business man. It was just as true of a lawyer to be thinking what kind of n sermon he might preach if it were up to him; and ho said, "You know, the less we know about a sub­ ject tho more we like to talk about it.” Hi* hearers were hardly prepared for what they received. He stated to them that after he had gone they would think over to themselves what he had said and that it would mean far more to them than it possibly could when he said it. He laid the foundation for hi* address by relating several inci­ dents connected with his career as a jodge. One incident which Judge Brown gave wa* thi*: Not long ago there were brought before him two young men, ono 23 and the other 24. They wore charged with a series of burg­ laries. Their homes were in another county, but the crime for which they appeared before him was committed is Kent eounfy. These two young men, in automobiles, had made a raid in the night-time on a business place in Kent county and carted away a lot of good*. The judge was interested to find out what he could about the liven of these young men. He learned that their par­ ents were well-to-do people, and that each of them owned an automobile of hia own, and that it certainly wa* not need that caused them to take the property of others. They had had school advantagee, and they had eome from homes that were supposedly of law-abiding, well-to-do people. When they wore brought before the judge he expressed to them hi* surprise that young men of their intelligence, who had come from good homes, whose parents were at least comfortably well off, would commit such crime*. .. Ha naked them: "Have you not been in tho habit of going to ehurchf” Each of them answered that he had never attended ehurch senice. He asked them if they had ever gone to Sunday School. Both declared that they had never attended a Sunday School They were asked if their parents did not go to church, and replied that they never knew them to, and also that their par(continued on page 5.) Clarence E. Hoag, tho new pastor of the Methodist church here, gave a brief talk at the joint meeting of the Credit Exchange and the Merchants* Bureau last week Tuesday night, which met with decided approval. Ho opened hi* remarks by saying that he had noticed that there was tho prefix "Rev.” before hi* name on the program, and that that was something ho never enjoyed. Ho wanted to be recognized an a human being, ho said, just like other folk*, and so ho prefer­ red to have hi* name appear with eith­ er his initials or hi* given name. If they wanted to say "minister” that was all right; but he did not like to feel that his work differentiated him from his fellow-men and put him in a separate class, apart from the rest of the folks. He then stated that there had been a marked change in recent times over the person* whom tho world honored for conspicuous service. It used to be that the great general or the great orator or tho great statesman or the great writer was regarded as on the Dinnaele, far above his fellows. Now, he said it is tho great business man who is regarded as tho master man of our day. This change, he said, was re­ cent and had been brought about by the changed attitude toward the whole nature of business. Instead of compe­ tition .and fighting, mon had learned I that these were destructive forces; so now it was co-operation that was tho foundation of business progress, and without this the wonderful business achievement* of our times wonld have been impossible. Ho stated that wo are ju*t emerging from the competitive era into a new and better era of co-operation. "This gathering of business men to-night,” he said, "is evidence of the new and better spirit abroad in tho business world, You, who represent the differ­ ent lines of business, have learned through your associations that those whom you had regarded as competitors were very much like yourself: very human, and that you can get along better, accomplish very much more, by cooperating with each other than by fighting each other. And so this is ushering in the new and better day for business.” "But while business men have learn­ ed the wisdom and common sense of (Oontinned on Page 4.) That there is u great future for Barry county us one of Michigan’s foremost dairy and crops sections is the opinion of specialists from Michigan Agricul­ tural College who hove studied condi­ tions here in preparation for the Dairy and Alfnlfa campaign which is to open here tho first week in December. H. C. Rather, member of the college farm crops department, discusses pres­ ent conditions and suggests that Barry should have at least 10,000 acres of alfalfa within a few years. "While alfalfa is admittedly the most profitable forage crop for live stock, Erticularly the dairy cow,” says Mr. ,ther, "very few Michigan counties arc realizing anywhere near their full possibilities along this line, and Barry is found to be no exception to tho gen­ eral rule. Thi* holds true in spite of the fact that the state has mado great strides with alfalfa daring the past few years, and now ranks as tho leading alfalfa state east of tho Mississippi river. "Barry county, for instance, grows about 44,000 acres of hay, of which only 2,000 acres is alfalfa. Tho other 42,000 acres is much less acceptable hay, with timothy largely predominating. "The average Barry farm of 100 acres grows slightly more than 18 tons of hay, requiring 14 acres, while tho average Burry alfalfa grower raises tho same amount of hay from eight acres. Al­ falfa yields in Barry an average of one ton per acre more than the mixed hay bo commonly grown. "Barry county farmers might well supplant other hay with alfalfa to tho extent that the county would eventually be growing about 10,000 or 12,000 acres. "Additional hay value at ten dollars per ton would be $100,000 on 10,000 acres. Additional land value because of increased fertility would be estimat­ ed nt about $100,000—a total additional wealth to Barry county of $200,000. "These things can bo attained—it is a goal within reach, and information of value will be given out during tho course of the coming compaign. ” H. E. Dennison, dairy specialist with tho M. A. C. extension staff, is optimis­ tic regarding the future of the county as a dairy center: "With the increased demand for dairy products and the fact that Barry county is destined to grow rapidly as a dairy center, it is evident that the great bulk of the alfalfa grown in tho (Oontinned on Page 3.)

Edmonds Elevator & Implement Co 0 WE THANK ONE AND ALL From the BET1EK STORE FOR MEN with his share of the county and town­ ship highway tax last year was over $1900, or over $11 per acre on his farm. He says that on Saturdays and Bundays this last summer an average of 300 motor ear* per hour passed his house on that cement road, and paid not a cent for its construction or maintenance. Such a situation as that is an outrage —compelling real estate to bear all the burden of that highway, which 3,000 people use in a day for pleasure or profit. No wonder the sentiment favorable to a gasoline tax nnd other taxes suffi­ cient to put the highway burden where it belongs is growing stronger, till the Governor could not stand out against it any longer. • These two legislators both expressed themselves that tho Gasoline tax, also a weight tax and whatever other levies might be required on trucks and auto busses, should provide sufficient money so that tho state could (1) repay the counties the $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 it owes for bounties for building roads; (2) pay the entire cost of building state trunk line highways; and (3) retire the $50,000,000 highway bonds voted by tho people. ; L. B. Spencer, Of Ypsilanti, came to Hastings with these gentlemen. Both carry large policies in tho Windstorm Co., and visited the offices of that com­ pany here, and were surprised and much pleased to find out what a large volume I of insurance the company is doing, and what a fine system it has for carrying ofe'its growing business. !

Moro and more the owners of great fortunes are returning a great share of the accumulations of a life time for charitable purposes for the benefit of humanity. Notable among these, of course, was Andrew Carnegie, who gave away hundreds of millions of dollars for the building of libraries all over the country, founding the great Car­ negie Institute at Pittsburg, and many other benefactions. John D. Rockefel­ ler, though still living, has doubtless given away even a greater sum to found and endow institutions of learn­ ing and for research work. Many oth­ ers might bo named who have given away their millions, and a great many others who have given away smaller amounts, from a few hundred thous­ ands of dollars up. The latest to join the rapidly grow­ ing list of benefactors is Milton 8. Her­ shey, the “Choeblate King,” and mon” ufacturer of chocolate confections bearing his name. It has just become known that in 1918 he placed his $60,­ 000,000 estate in trust for the Hershey Industrial School, which he and his wife founded in 1909. At this school only orphans are accepted as students. When orphan* enter they must desig­ nate the trade or profession they wish to follow, and they are given the best possible instruction along the line they select. After completing courses at the Hershey Industrial School they may enter college with the help of the Her­ shey fortune. At the Industrial School students are given the benefit of home life and home surroundings in little cottages, well looked after. It goes without saying that through Mr. Her­ shey’s philanthropy thousands upon thousand* of orphafred children, who have been deprived of parental guid­ ance, will be helped. The famou* "Hershey bar” of choc­ olate will now have even a sweeter taste than ever before, when it i* known that the profit from its sale goes for such a worthy purpose. Waterproof Glue.

The cart played to a capacity house, and the audience reacted weU to the acting of thc players. The interest kept up well to the end of the playThe High school orchestra, under Miss Wilber’s capable direction, wove' in a musical program before and be­ tween acts. The playing of "School Days” here and there in*the evening lent an eztra aesthetic touch to thc। program. Roderick Warner’s baritone solo showed skill and was thoroughly enjoyed. The ushers, High schoolI girls, under Leah Webster’s guidance,, acted as ushers and they were costumed. in the charm-school regalia. The curtain arose in the first act to show ns a typical boys’ room on tho top floor of an old-fashioned New York house. We were literally carried back to our school days, and we saw a real boys’ room. The first playerOhe au­ dience looked upon was Ralph Smith, as David MacKenrie, the law student, did some exeoptionally good acting as | the rejected lover.

The hero, Austin Bevans, or Francis Angell, who was an automo­ bile salesman and who had inherited a girls’ school, demonstrated tho dif­ ficulties experienced by a bachelor in that position. As tho curtain went up for the sec­ ond act, there was an audible gasp from tho audience for it saw there a setting which was a spacious living room in a girls’ school, with its spinet desks, davenports and easy chairs, and an open window looked out upon the scenery beyond. Tho vignettes tho girls made in the second act were very picturesque, especially the "Onee-in-aWhilo” scene. Betty Osborn, as Elise Benedotti, the heroine, lived up to her reputation of former plays, while Vivien Gilmer as tho vivacious Sally Boyd, depicted the part of a typical boarding house girl. Francos Fisher, in the capacity of Miss Curtis, the class sponsor, acted as a veritable one, while Dorothy Long, as Miss Hays, loved yet feared by the charm-school girls, played up to her usual acting. And William Ferris, as Homer Johns, tho guardian of Elise, gave a elever portrayal of a rejected suitor-husband. The rest of the boarding school girls, Katherine Pritchard, LI ova Perry, Juanita Langston, Margaret Sage, Alice Ware, Ernestine Windeknecht, and Alice Matthews portrayed, characteris­ tically, the charm-girls in their naive costumes. The attention to detail, the vignet­ tes formed, the costuming, under Miss Van Winkle’s direction, were splendid, but tho effort, time, and work that Mr. Hunt has spent need not be dwelt upon, and the success of tho play is due to him in a large measure. The efficient committees, under Miss Arnold’s capable direction, worked hard and faithfully. J. Rainor Clark and Richard Potts, as stage managers, certainly did their share to make the play a success. Also, Rolfe Bulling, the business manager, Charles McIntyre, the ticket sale manager, Morris Blivin, for Advertising, and others all did their bit. A play is a great amount of work, but the benefit the students derive from it, and the experience make the effort worth while. '~ The play cleared $293.00 and that will go £o pay the expenses of the fl­ nance association. CaaxaeTcUaX World. Time passes mighty quickly For the busy man each day. It ia night before he knows it.

Dublin, chief statistician for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com­ pany, expressed the opinion that tho decline in the tuberculosis rate in the last two decades ia in a large measure to be •credited to the organized work against tuberculosis, according to a report recently published in their sta­ tistical bulletin. Thc campaign on thc preventive side has been based on the principle that this infection need not cause dis­ ability nnd death if the resistance of tho individual is kept high. It also supposes to treat eases already active by building up the resistance of the patient. Personal hygiene therefore » the corner stone of preventive tuber­ culosis work. Anything which works for the health and happiness of tho laboring man reduces the death rate by prolonging the life expectation, says Mr. Dublin. This is the program that the Michi­ gan Tuberculosis Association ia carry­ ing on to relieve suffering and human lives. With the money from the Christ­ mas Sea! Sale the association organized a lecture department traveling in a Ford truck with a moving picture ma­ chine and equipped for teaching health all over the state. It has obtained an amendment to the Mother's Pension Bill which includes relief for tubercu­ losis families, has organized and main­ tained work in 56 counties of the state and taught health to 100,000 children. Future plans include more permanent clinics, open air schools, preventoria, summer comps, dispensaries, and more hot lunches in schools.- Tho Christmas Beal brings these things. THE “RUBBER BABY” In the Studebaker Light-Six closed cars, excellence of body construction is combined with a f»unous chassis. Studebaker never skimps on materials or cheapens quality to meet a price. Studebaker has been building quality ve­ hicles for 71 years. Studebaker’s great volume of production and unexcelled manufacturingfacilities make it possible to offer these cars, of noteworthy quality and exceptional performance, at very moderate prices. The name Studebaker on an automobile insures long and satisfactory service. The 1924 Model Studebaker Light-Six Sedan $1550 The annual payment of a 4% percent service charge by tho Michigan State Telephone Company to its parent or­ ganization, tho American Telephone A Telegraph Company has boon des­ criptively dubbed “a $1,000,000 rub­ ber baby” by the latest protest filed with tho Michigan Utilities Commis­ sion. It is called a “rubber baby” be­ cause its acquisitive appetite expands enormously to accommodate thc pro­ ceeds of this external levy on the phone users of the State. Fourteen City At­ torneys have joined in this latest chal­ lenge—representing Grand Rapids, Flint, Kalamazoo, Jackson, Big Rapids, Tra­ verse City, Ann Arbor, Pontine, Battle Creek, Royal Oak, Bay City, Escanaba, Benton Harbor and Petoskey. Until this long mooted external as­ sessment against the proceeds of Mich­ igan telephone traffic is properly read­ justed, there will be no peace in thc matter of telephone rates. For years this enormous service fee has been un­ der fire. In whatever 'degree it repre­ sents actual essential service rendered thc Michigan system, it is a legitimate operating charge. In whatever degree it exceeds this element of service ac-1 tually rendered, it is merely an adroit extraction of extra earnings by absen­ tee owners. It would seem, in other words, that the issue is purely a deter­ mination of facta. And it is high time the facts were definitely adjudicated. Tho Herald has long argued that any arbitrary fee is indefensible because supervisory services must be a fluctua­ ting factor. The growth of telephone business bespeaks a proportionate growth in the size of the arbitrary fee. It is now an enormous item. The sug­ gestion ef its likeness to a “rubber baby” is not without point. Wc would not deny the probability that external supervision contributes certain tangi­ ble things to Michigan usage: but we continue to be unable to see why any such tangible contributions should not bo measured on a basis of “service provably rendered” rather than by an arbitrary annual assessment which, otherwise, is merely camouflage for ex­ orbitant profit.—Grund Rapids Herald. marriage In existence prevails In India, where men and women are married to trees. A Hindu In the Punjab cannot be legally married a third time, and when, therefore, he wants a third wife, he Is married to a certain tree, so that when he does actually take another wife she counts as his fourth. In another district of India there are communities where a tree marriage ia solemnized in the case of a man who has lost two wives and Is desirous of taking a third, or a man who is too poor to marry In the usual way. In the latter case, the man is after­ wards married to a widow. As, how­ ever, the remarriage of a widow Is held by orthodox Hindus to be fraught with every calamity, the wedding Is per­ formed at dead of night under an old mango tree. It Is not easy to under­ stand the reason for such an extraor­ dinary custom as tree marriagee, but one authority points out that It seems to be Intended to avert the curse of widowhood, the “husband” being al­ ways alive. Ths Were-Wolf In England. A superstitious belief In the were­ wolf (an evil creature supposed to be a human being In the form of a wolf) Still lingers among the country folk of Hampshire, England. In one dis­ trict the children are not allowed to take a certain field-path across the downs for fear of meeting this dreaded creature. An old woman of the place when questioned told how her mother and grandmother before her had al­ ways warned her of the were-wolf saying: “He looks like a big dog, but he used to be a lady I” Other In­ habitants of the village show reluc­ tance to cross this path after dusk, and many assert that they have seen upon the downs a large dog which has vanished on being approached. Belief .n lycantbropy was widespread during the Dark Ages, when men displaying <11 the predatory Instincts and ferocity if wolves wandered In masses through louthern Germany and parts of Italy. Lawrence Power of Hastings has re­ ported for early basket ball practice under Coach Buck' Read at Western State Normal, Kalamazoo. He is one of a score of candidates for forward berth, and word from Kalamazoo is that he has been looking likely in thc early work outs. Power is part of the largest basket ball squad ever assembled at Western Normal and if he sticks through thc next few weeks he will be part of a far larger squad. Forty-seven candi­ dates have reported to Coach Read thus far and more are expected when the football season is over. An enrollment of 625 men at tho Normal this year, the largest male enrollment of all teachers’ colleges east of tho Mississippi, has given Coach Read a wealth of material. Last season Western had one of thc strongest college quintets in the state, winning 18 of 23 games. Seven letter men arc back making prosj>ect3 for this year look even brighter. The Hastings player is a second-ycar student in the manual arts department. The Greatest Force The greatwt force in the world to the will to ierv*.

Broadway, Hastings says: “ Some years ago I was having trouble from kidney com­ plaint. My back pained severely at I times and when about my housework, sharp pains darted through my side and loins. When I stooped I got dizzy spells and could hardly see, and severe headaches followed. I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and made up my mind to try them. A few boxes cured me.

More Than Our School* W. h.r. FMdud • Uno of tho yoir when pooplo will bo Ihioluog of UxM. and divers and sundry remarks will be made as to the cost of our public schools. But before we say too much along that line it would ba well for us all to pause and consider whether tho state­ ments we make u to exorbitant costs 11 of public education are really justified. For instance, Unde Sam's statistics prove- that it costs the people of this country to maintain our schools and colleges the sum of 11,036,000,000. That would be a pretty large sum for a coun­ try editor or a fanner right now to dig up; but before wo reach any con­ clusions as to tho need of spending so • I much money on education, lot us look into some of tho other things for which, tho American people are separating themselves from their eash. iE The odo item of candy costs the Amer­ ican people $1,000,000,000 n year; the one item of tobacco, 92,110,000,000. Wc are paying for chewing gum upwards of $250,000,000. Tho annual soft drink bill is $350,000,000; perfumes and cos­ metics $750,000,000. We spend for the­ ater tickets and club dues $800,000,000 a year. We spend for ice cream $250,­ 000,000, cakes and confections, $350,­ 000,000. What may be termed luxuri­ ous service involves an expenditure of $3,000,000,000; in foods that can be classed as luxuries at hotels and restau­ rants we pay $750,000,000 yearly. Lux­ urious foods in our homes costs $5,000,­ 0000,000; joy riding In automobiles, 3E races and time and money spent at resorts cost $3,000,000,000. If i E pleasure you will add all of these items, you wiU find they aggregate over $17,000,000,000. Thus it will be evident that the Amer­ ican people spend $17 for luxuries to $1.00 for education. Would Jou think, from such a showing, that complaints are really warranted about the cost of schools! Take it right here in Hartings. If you would add the items of expense which tho people of this city willingly pay for candy, tobacco, soft drinks, chewing gum, perfumes nnd cosmetics, • r movie tickets, other entertainments, ice cream, cakes and confections, services that they could render for themselves if they so desired, foods that could bo classed as luxuries, joy riding and oth­ Horns of expense of that character, • ? er it would aggregate many times as much * as tho public schools of. this city cost tho taxpayers. If there is any one thing for which a man or woman ought to be willing and glad to deny himself, it should be to promote tho education of the^ children and young people of the community. The public schools of Hastings aro its finest plant and best asset; and if it requires a sacrifice, ought wc not to be glad to make it on the luxury side ra­ ther than to have tho work of the schools crippled in any manner! We haven’t anybody particularly in mind in making these comments; they apply to all of us. Wc believe if we shall all think those matters over and give reasonable consideration to them, we will not be disposed to complain about our school taxes. 1 5c and 10c and ____________ Variety Store H 3r i• NOT NW LUXURY BILL SEVEN­ TEEN TIMES AS HIGH World Famom Eureka Vacuum Cleaners WE ARE GIVING AWAY A Ai wo near the Thanksgiving day of IStS it is very fitting to tarry awhile and count our many blessings, which YOU are invited to attend the largest Christmas Opening ever held in Barry County.

The most common explanation of the term sleepers Is that the logs repose in the bed of the railroad. Unfortunate­ ly for this theory, the particular word occurs not only In conuectlon with railways, but In other industries, be­ ing always used aa a technical tern) for pieces of timber or metal fixed In t horizontal position. Its real origin Is the Norwegian “alelp,” which meant timber, metal, or even stone, laid so as to form a con­ venient surface to drag things over; Originally used as a technical term ■i? In the days when our railways were In the building. It did not take long for our navy laborers tO Corrupt the word Into the nearest English It sounded like, and so slelpi became our e common “sleepers."

After being twice damaged by the Png* Ilsh, It was rebuilt in a style of in­ creased magnificence between the years 1322 nnd 1505. but was again devastated by the English under the earl of Hertford, In 1545, and was totally ruined during the Scotch refor­ mation. Since that time no attempt at restoration has been made, and the ruins have served as a quarry for the neighboring town of Melrose. The ruined church Is all that re­ mains at the present day. It is great­ ly admired for the beauty of its archi­ tecture. which belongs to the Second Pointed style. Melrose abbey Is the burial place of Michael 8cott. the Wiz­ ard of the Lady; Alexander II, and Johanna, his queen; William Dougins, the “Dark Knight.” nnd the second abbot. St. Waltheof. The heart of Robert Bruce Is said to be buried be­ fore the high nltnr. Early attempts to provide elementary education were made In Virginia, and by the Dutch In New York, but Massa­ chusetts must be looked to for the be­ ginning of the American public school. In 1635 a town meeting of the people of Boston requested Philemon Purmont to become schoolmaster, and voted 1dm 30 acres of land In part pay for his services. .The school begun by Mr. Purmont later became the Boston Latin school, nnd has hud a continuous existence. Other colonies follow In Boston’s steps, and the next ten years saw common schools established In all the New England settlements. In 1647 the general court of Massachusetts or­ dered every town of 50 families to se­ lect a teacher, whose salary was to be paid by the parents of the children he taught or by the Inhabitants tn gen­ eral. At the same time townships hav­ PHONES— ing one hundred families were ordered 2225, 2490 or 3416 to establish a grammar school to flt youth for college. The law establish­ ing these two grades of schools laid 4mmniiimmininimmmmmmiiiimiiiiiii!i the foundation of the American public school 'system.

There was a marked increase rn both quality and quantity of exhibits over ths show of a year ago. Ia jrrsry way tho displays aftd programs were well arranged to beaelt the farmers and city people who flocked in to see them. Ninety of tto Bute’s iesdieg apple growers vied with each other for prise awards en their spplon, exhibited on plates and treys and in bushel, barrel, ten bushel and fifty bushel lots. In thiM latter feature the.rfjow thia year mark­ ed • tew and very wholesome departure in the character of fruit shows, for in the past only plates and small contain­ ers have been used. The idea of the •how thia year was not only to prove that Michigan can produce a few applet of marked perfection but to demons strata as well that we can produce fruit of high quality and uniformity in commercial quantities and pack it fairly, so that tho consumer will not be disappointed. 3 Tho potato show domonrtated what can be done in a few years to; stand­ ardize and improve the quality of one of our leading agricultural products.’ Nd one would cnvgkthe judge his job wherf they looked over the rows and rows of uniform Rural lluwoti pota­ toes which havo been developed and standardized through the activities of tho organized producers Of Michigan. Jt is interesting to notice in this con­ nection that tM’exhibits of the boys' and girls’ dubs store of nearly as high quality m those produced by the adult farmers. This may be taken os Un indication that the work of potato im­ provement will be carried out still far­ ther by those progressive young farm­ ers. . Not only, was the Apple and Potato show aimed Id’ help the producers of these products, but it was organised and carried out with'the idea of being of. direct benefit to the eity consumers as well, by showing them how to utilize apples and potatoes most ccoiftnnicslly.

Harding, one of .the finest men who ever walked thin earth, it i* pro­ posed to build a $2,000,000 memorial, to be known an the Harding Memorial, in the eity of Washington. Thin in to bo paid for by the volun­ tary gifts of the American people, and the desire is to have as many people contribute an possible. Large amount* are not asked for except from very wealthy individuals who can as well af­ ford it a* not, but small amount*, it is hoped, will make up the groat bulk of thi* gift in honor of thia good man. It is planned to raise the money for the Harding Memorial during the week of Doeember 9 to 16, when the funds will be gathered from every part of the country for thia purpose. Every state has it* Harding Memorial chairman, every county it* chairman and ©very township a chairman. In this state Hon. W. W. Potter, well known in Burry County, han been select­ ed by Gov. Groesbeck as the chairman. Mr. Potter han selected M. L. Cook an the county chairman for Barry Coun­ ty. In turn Mr. Cook ha* named the following township chairmen: Assyria, Myron Tuckerman.

A. GOOD. ELL, HERE LAST WEEK STEPS TAKEN TO PUT EMPHASIS ON THRIFT “Thrift Week" to Be Observed in This County—Henry Shel­ don Committee Chairman fit to Dairymen in the County During the month of September this year 26 Dairy farmers near Hastings met and organized a cow testing associa­ tion, to be known as Barry No. 1. The oumo itself indicates that other* will follow. For over a month an effort has been made to secure a suitable taster, finally our efforts were rewarded by a man who, wo belive, will eome up to our expectations, Chas. A. Johnson, of Cal­ houn County. Mr. Johnson is not only able to handle the Babcock test but is also able to give assistance in balanc­ ing a ration for your dairy herd. After /talking with Mr. Johnson for some time one is convinced that he is a practical man. having had experience both as a farmer as well as a dairy man, being informed on soils and plant food. We also believe Mr. Johnson will be a benefit to our community, as communities arc the natural result of relations established through business, education, religion and social value* and all arc interwoven in the results. Therefore a cow testing association has a far more beneficial result than just to cull out boarder cows, or give in­ structions on a balanced ration. It es­ tablishes a eloser relationship between the members and provides a means whereby the educational and social functions may better be carried out through the community. We hope the success of this associa­ tion will be so pronounced that ethers will follow. The officers and member* of the association are given below. Board Of Directors:—Fred A. Smith, Fred Otis, Robert Cook, Elmer Hatha­ way and Neal Newton. Officers:—Fred A. Smith, President; Fred Otis, Viee President; and Robert Cook, Soc-Trcas. Members:—William Havens, Elmer Hathaway, E. V. Adam*, A. J. Willits, G. H. Mowry, W. H. Schantz, Rolland Williams, C. U. Edmons, C. I. Utter, Chas. Hyde, Louis Neeb. R. B. Newton, H. J. Robinson, Robert Cook, Geo. Ran­ som, E. B. Thon, R. W.

Goodell, of New York City, who has charge of the National Thrift Week campaign of the Y. M. C. A., with 47 other organizations co-operating, was in Hastings on Monday and delivered an address to the Rotary Club, in which he set forth the reasons for, and the benefits to bo derived from, a National Thrift Week. National Thrift Week covers the dates from January 17, to January 23, 1924 inclusive. The purpose of this is to get people into the habit of systema­ tic saving by the systematic organiza­ tion of their personal financial affairs. No greater benefit could come to any community than to got its people inter­ ested in this proposition. After hearing Mr. Goodell, the Ro­ tary Club passed the following resolu­ tion: Whereas, a movement in under way for a nation-wide program for economic education for individuals and families, by the observance of National Thrift Week, January 17 to January 23, 1924, and ' Whereas the movement ia fostered by the Y. M. C. A. in co-operation with 47 civic, educational, commercial and re­ ligions organizations, and also has the jenonal endorsement of President Cool­ idge, therefore be it Resolved, that the Hastings Rotary Club heartily indorse the proposal to observe in Hastings and Barry County, National Thrift Week and commend it to the favorable consideration of all other organizations as well as to all in­ DASTARDLY ASSAULT dividuals within the county.

Share with others. The indivi­ dual is under obligation to treat all ma­ terial resources as a sacred trust, and to share a definite and liberal propor­ tion of them with others by giying to the church and to worthy individuals and causes. God has made every person a partner with himself in administering his es­ tate for the purpose of thc whole human family. A man’s obligation is to pro­ vide for those who are dependent upon him. But he is more apt to do that if he is systematic: and a systematic giv­ er as well as savor. That iA oue reason why the tithe or tenth is worthy of considerntion as a minimum amount to be given away for benevolent causes and purposes. The penion who will do that, must know his income and must know his expenditures, and that mean* he must be systematic about his affairs. That is, no doubt, one of tho reasons why blessings do come, as they have been promised of God himself, to the systematic giver of the tithe. Exper­ ience has shown that the financial stand­ ing of a family is advanced by doing thia. Further announcements of the ob­ servance of Thrift Week will be made before January 17. Among tho fine services that will be rendered will be this: anyone who is interested enough to apply for it, will be given a budget b*ok which will contain room for actual accounting, including earning, giving, saving, spending, so that one may know just how his affairs stand. If people would just do thnt, financial troubles of the world would be largely endrd. Many Kinds of Bell*. Mun made bells before he learned to write.

Various phases of art-craft activity-— the applying of ornament to a tint sur­ face by means of printing, drawing by hand, or Blenching—come under tbe head of decorative design. The face painting and tattooing of burhnrous tribes Is a primitive form of- decora­ tive design. Painting in slip on pott<Ty la another phase of immemorial antiquity. The paint decorations of Egyptian mummy cases, the crude pat­ terns painted on hides by the Indians, hr well us the exquisite prints and stencils produced by the Japanese, are examples of decorative design.

It Is quite possible, however, that he may have read something hIhhii these numerous “treasure lxlands," nnd, perhaps, may even have utilized some of the Incidents related, but certainly the “Treasure Island," as ■ be depicts it.

The name they were known by at first in Holland meant, literally translated, ‘•linger hood," but it liecainc known In England by the nume of “thumb bell." This milne was derived from the bellUke shupe of the little article, and front the fact that it wus worn origin­ ally on the thumb to ward off tbe point of the needle rather than, ax ut prea•ot, to push the heud.—Lunde® An­ swers.

NEAR FATALITY FROM er sack of flour. Wishing to do some Ava Olive, daughter of Wm. nnd ACCIDENTAL POISONING baking soon after this, she took the Olive Lindsay, was born in Prairieville Lloyd Allerding and Mother of Carlton Narrowly Escape Grim Reaper Lloyd Allerding and his mother, who live in Carlton, had recently a ve’T now escape from death; but now they nre quite fully recovered, although very weak from their trying experience. Mr. Allerding and his . mother had been living in Carlton Qenter for some time until a abort time ago when they moved back onto their farm north and oast of thc Center. Mrs. Allerding. re­ membered that she had left in her homo on the farm a quantity of flour in a small sick, which ahe expected to get later or use when ahe moved back to the farm. But it appears that in the meantime her daughter had gone over to the bouse, and seeing the small sack of flour, had taken it to her home think­ ing it might spoil, but her mother did not know th}». When IJoyd and his mother moved baek on the farm they took with them a sack of flour. Mrs. Allerdjpg *aw it the house what' she thought was the floor that she bad left there, as it was contained ia a paper sack of the size thnt she remembered as having used to frt the flour in. Without making close flour from tho top of thc sack and made it into eatables, and both the non and mother were taken desperately ilh Dr. Griswold, of Freeport, was summoned nnd it was certain that they were suf­ fering from some form of poisoning; and investigation proved that the small sack which Mrs. Allerding supposed was the flour ahe had left when she moved from the farm to Carlton Center really contained arsenate of lead, which was used in spraying fruit trees. We have explained how it came to bo emp­ tied into the flour. Fortunately Lloyd and his mother summoned medical aid in time so that fatal results did apt follow the eating of the baking which contained the poi­ son. and it is safe to say that there will be no mistake in the Allerding home when it comes to mixing flours in thc future.

It costs no more to buy a good quality of flour than it does to use flour of an inferior quality and the results are far more satisfactory. _ White Lily Flour is the result of years of experience and study. Our one thought has always been te improve the'quality regard­ less of cost. By following this policy FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR has forged to the front and there we propose to keep it.

For five years he had thought of Stella Thompson ns his—tho thought had never occurred to him that some­ one else might come along and take her from him. True, he bad never come right out like the men Ln the story books and asked Stella to be bls, but surely he thought any girl would have sense enough to know when a man really wanted her. Things bad been so pleasant, anyhow, coming and going to Stella's home, that he had put off naming the day, but otherwise. In his mind, the whole thing had been settled. Now, however, It looked as if Stella was lost to him—that he was out ot the running—for Dick Carpenter had come back from the city. Stella seemed to have eyes for him only and Clifford saw very little of her. It seemed os If no matter what time he called he could not find her there —her mother al­ ways met him wluT the same re­ mark : “She Just left with Dick," or “Dick and she are In the parlor now.” He had Just come from there now, after being told that Dick and Stella had gone to town. The jealousy that was getting at his heart grew more , bitter each moment, and so much did It possess him that he could not go about his work. Jumping Into his little car again be made his way along the smooch coun­ try road until he reached Trenton. There be found that the town was full of Christmas shoppers and that there was little chance of his running across Stella and Dick, even though they should still be there. He wandered aimlessly around for an hour and watched tbe crowds as they came and went, noticing partlcularly the young men of bls own ago. They were hurrying In and out of stores and nearly always on the outcoming trip they were carrying pack­ ages. He could see them through the windows at times making their pur­ chases—candy, flowers, Jewelry and other things—and they all seemed so happy about it They were buying them for mothers, or wives or sweet­ hearts, be thought. Swift as a flash the realization came I to him that never during all the years j that be had courted Stella Thompson bad he given her a gift—not even at Christmas. What had been the mat* ter with him? He had Just never stopped to think—no wonder that Stella had turned from him to Dick Carpenter. What a fool be had been to think that affection could live and thrive with the little thought that he had given it! He wondered if It was too late now to make amends—at least he could make an effort and try. That evening when he called at the Thompson home and asked for Stella the refusal that Mrs, Thompson was going to ut­ ter died upon her lips as she saw the change In him. Tbe easy-going, half-hearted Clif­ ford Winters of the past was gone and in his place was an aggres­ sive, quick-spoken fellow who acted as If he would not be denied. And when Stella her­ self came along she could only gasp as he placed a large bouquet of roses In her arms, and before she could recover from the surprise which this occasioned Clifford had asked her the all-important question and she had an­ swered "yes.” Clifford always thought through the years that followed that their happi­ ness was due to that holiday trip he made to town, but Stella’s mother often smiled to herself as she thought how ahe used the vain little Carpenter boy to awaken Clifford. In Business, the Goodwill which a name carries is of unestimable value. When you apply for a really worth-while position in life— one that leads onward and upward to Success—you are going to be asked “At What School did you receive your Training?” The better known the school—the better your chances. Go anywhere in Western Michigan and mention “business college.” Ninety-nine out of every hundred persons in­ stantly think McLACHLAN’S.

His name had shrunk from Solomon to Sol, as an Indication, perhaps, thnt the full name was too large a program for him, while his surname suggested that he was but a small part of what he desired to be. This suggestion was based upon fact, for there was in Sol a dissatis­ faction with himself that gave promise of improvement, an ambition that set before him u goal farther on and higher up than hts smarter associates hnd purposed. Beneath his red thatch and behind his unattractiveness Sol had a conscience, a heart and a most determined will. It was the honesty and the reliability of his character that had given him favor with his em­ ployer, and a certain considerate kind­ liness had made him acceptable to the customers — qualities not common enough In these days to be despised. At this New Year time Sol Sample was particularly anxious to turn over a new leaf. He shared the desire that comes then to us all to break into a better future. It is an early stirring of life's spring season, a thought of renewing with the young year our lost youth, of possible attainments of pur­ ity and beauty, a rekindling of old en­ thusiasms. Let those who will, sneer at New Year resolutions; there Is a reason for them and there Is promise In them. They present to a plowboy something more than a mirage and they offer to a roue one more glimpse of heaven.

He 1 had put things to rights and closed tbe safe upon the proceed* of the day's1 business and was about to extinguish the last light when he became consclou* that he was not alone In the' place. The next moment he felt the pressure of a revolver barrel upon bl*' side and heard a firm, hard voice In-1 struct him to hold up bls hands. As his next experience he was marched into the little office and urged to open the safe. As he spun the knob that controlled the combina­ tion he made a rapid survey of hl* resource* with his mind while he still fumbled with the numbers of the lock. He could think of nothing worth trying until there flashed upon him the memory of a certain trick by which he had once overthrown his adversary In a wrestling match. He still had the muscle of an athlete and the short stairway up to the desk favored his plan. With a lightning-like movement he displaced the weapon and sent his captor backwards down the stairs. Whirling to defend himself he was surprised to find no further attack from the robber and upon examination be found that with a broken neck the thief had lost all power to do further mischief. Sol thus became quite the neigh­ borhood hero. People began to put a new estimation upon him. He was promoted to a position In the factory, the output of which the store had been handling. From, that, sterling business qualities carried him to. a partnership. Today bls name Is upon the sign that advertises the business, and there In full. Solomon Sample Is likely to become the whole piece. All because be discovered himself and was found In the emergency that called for a real man. So It proved that Sol’s new leaf was a gold leaf. (©.

GIVE YOURSELF A SQUARE DEAL Yi.u attend college but once in a lifetime and the right start means <a eryt hiiig. for your education, whether good or bad, becomes a part of you. If bad. it will hamper you all through life. It may even mean com­ plete failure. Furthermore, the school from which you graduate is your introduction to the business world. You will be judged wholly by its reputation. If good, it will be a valuable asset. If poor, it will be a burdensome liability. Ambitious and intelligent young men and women are too wise to at­ tempt to save money by attending a cheap college. They know that at­ tending a cheap school is the dearest kind of extravagance, for those who attend such schools get just what they pay for—cheap instruction—and cheap instruction is the most expensive thing they can buy when their whole future is at stake. Their money, their time, their efforts are all wasted, for mediocre training will make them mediocre workers, unable to command a high salary’. They will be held down all their lives to cheap, inferior positions, with no chance for advancement. For more than forty years, Michigan Business & Normal College has adhered rigidly to the highest standards of excellence and efficiency, and no consideration of price has ever moved us from this ideal. Instead of bringing our instruction down to a cheap price, we have built up a superior service, and that is why the public has made MICHIGAN BUSINESS & NORMAL COLLEGE the leader in its field—why it is nationally recog­ nized as one of America’s most thorough and successful business Training Schools. We appeal to ambitious young people whose hearts*are aflame with a burning desire for worthy achievement and who are more interested in developing themselves as business leaders than they are in taking short, superficial courses of study at cheap rates. They know that a college which offers low rates acknowledges its own inferiority, and is unworthy of con­ sideration. They know that the sweetneM of cheap tuition can never offset the bitterness of poor instruction. They know the real economy of getting the best possible instruction. When you graduate at M. B. & N. C., you will have an earning power from 25% to 100% greater than that of the beginner less efficiently prepared, and there will be a position waiting for you at a salary far above the aver­ age. The demand for our graduate students is fully ten times the supply— they take their choice of “opportunity’’ positions. The extra cost of your instruction will be all paid back to you in the first month or two after graduation, and you will continue to enjoy increased dividends on your in- vestment throughout your entire business career. Furthermore, the instruction in every Department of the school is in­ dividual, it is personal and intensive, and you are enabled to graduate from eight to twelve weeks earlier than you could under class methods of in­ struction, providing the same courses of study were given. Consider carefully the wonderful possibilities that go hand-in-hand with Michigan Business & Normal College Training. Every year young people who have tried cheap schools come here to get their training all over again, and get it right We hope you will get the right start the first time, remembering always that the most economical course is not the one that costs you the least, but the one that makes you the most efficient and adds the greatest number of dollars to your pay check.

Increasing understanding of the phys­ ical and psychological factors in sex life has made Dr. Hall’s lectures of constructive value to all but particularly to the young. Dr. Hall’s work in this realm, as an investigator, author and lecturer has put him in the front rank of American* dealing with this subject. He resigned hi* position as Dean of the Northwestern Medical College in Chicago to devote all his time to lec­ turing on such themes as “Social Ethics;” “Eugenie*,” “The Psj ‘ ogy of Youth and Its Relation to c Development,” “Efficient Manh “Father and Son,” “Mother Daughter,” “Home and School lems,” and other kindred Dr. Hall is an eloquent, vincing speaker. He has a sage for young people an who hear him will be y profited. It will be a privilege. The people of this county can congratulate themselves on such a privilege. Dr. Hall comes to this county under tho auspices of the Barry County Y. M. C. A. It is a fine service which that organization is rendering the people of the county in bringing so fine a man with so worth-while a message. Another chapter has been added to the court proceedings of the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Co. of this city against the State Cyclone In­ surance Co. of Lapeer. A temporary injunction was granted last summer by Judge MePeek restrain­ ing the Lapeer Co. through certain of its agents, also those agents,^ from continuing to carry on a campaign ,of alleged misrepresentation against the Hasting* company, for the alleged pur­ pose of making policy holders dissatis­ fied, and inducing them to switch poli­ cies to the Lapeer Co. This injunction case has not yet been tried. Last week proceedings were com­ mented in Berry connty circuit court by tho Windstorm Co. of this city against the Lapeer Co. and also certain of its agents, for damages of $250,000 resulting from the alleged misrepre­ sentation of the standing, business method* and financial condition of the Windstorm Co. caused by this alleged campaign of misrepresentation by agents of the Lapeer Co. Good Will is a business asset. Tho action of the local company against its Lapeer competitor is based on the theory that*rhen millions of dollars of insur­ ance are switched to the Lapeer com­ pany by means of alleged misrepresenta­ tion, then that becomes actionable to the extent of damage it may have done in depriving the local insurance com­ pany of insurance, which becomes its assessable capital by reason of its be­ ing a mutual company. Other damages would follow, such as damage to repu­ tation and business as a result of such alleged misrepresentation. Attorney Chas. E. Ward, of Grand Rapids, appears for the local company in these latest proceeding*. Mr. Ward achieved nation-wide notoriety in break­ ing up a gang of grafters in Grand Rap­ ids, who had entered .jnto a conspiracy to rob tho eity of a huge sum of money y putting through a proposition to *ea water supply from Lake Miehifor tho Valley City. The conspiraoro brought to book and convicthis efforts. mod in the present ease that It the mpany has hundreds of affihieh its case is based. davit* THEY SURELY DID AP­ PRECIATE THE SERVICE Older Boys Express Their Grat­ itude to Business Men of Hutiaga The factory manager* and business men of this, city subscribed to a fund that aided several of the 70 young fel­ lows who went from Barry county to the “Older Boys’ Conference” which was held at Ann Arbor. This fine serv­ ice gave these “older boys” the chance to hear some of the country’s greatest men—Dr. M. 8. Rice, President Burton of tho university and Sherwood Eddy. It was an epochal event in tho Uvea of these young men, and it was fine to have the privilege of aiding those young fellows in geoting a vision of the higher things of the .mind and spirit. That the young folks appreciated it is shown by tho following letter: Woodland, Mich. December 4, 1923. Dear Friends: The boys of Woodland ean not ex­ press their gratitude for your splendid cooperation and financial help in our Y. M. 0. A. work. EspeciaUy we give our heart felt thanks to you for making it possible that some boys might attend that enjoyable and inspiring Older Boys’ Conference at Ann Arbor. We certainly did enjoy the trip and are in­ spired to Uve nobler Uve* than ever be­ fore. We trust that we ean do you a good turn sometime and show~that wo do not forget your kindness.^!*.

Without regard to party, public mon everywhere have commended this feature of President Coolidge’s first state paper. There can be no doubt whatever as to just what he means.

Ho has met every issue squarely and ha* made his own position with regard to it as clear as sun­ light; and ho deserves tho commenda­ tion that has been accorded him for so doing. It would naturally not be expected that everyone would agree with Presi­ dent Coolidge in the stand he has taken, but no one can question his good faith, his courage and his clear logic in the statement of his position with refer­ ence to public issues. These are the outstanding things in the message: (1) He insists upon reduction in tax­ ation as a matter of justice to tho Am­ erican people so as to reduce the ex­ pense of living for them, as it certainly will Everyone knows that federal taxes or any other taxes, arc regarded as an expense, and are added to the cost of any product or service, and on this cost the profit is figured.

Ho never regained consciousness. Suit for damages in behalf of Bull's estate was brought by the executrix. Mr. Bull was 60 years old at the time of his death. From his books his earn­ ings for the previous year were ascer­ tained. His life expectancy was se­ cured from life insurance tables, and with proper reckonings for diminish­ ing earning power due to advancing years, it was figured that, had he lived, he could have earned $5,000. According to law where damages ean be collected that are due to an acci­ dent like that which took Mr. Bull's life, the amount of damages is pre­ dicated on two things: (1) The pain and suffering caused to the injured party.

The studchts did not only deal with the technical points, but proved that attitude, polite­ ness, and truthfulness arc great assets to a business as well as to the employ­ er and employes. Tuesday evening speeches were given on “C. O. D. Accounts,” “Deprecia­ tion,” and “The Use of Statements.” These gave the many visitors an idea of what th’e bookkeeping classes are doing. That the commercial department is a prominent part of tho High school, and is interesting to the people of the city was proven by the many visitors, in the various rooms of this department, Tuesday evening.

Friday evening, Dr. Biee, leading pastor of Detroit gave an address on “Unity and the Individual.’’ Saturday morning, we heard Harry W. White, a prominent Y. M. C.

Mr. Sherwood Eddy gave two ad­ dresses Sunday afternoon and evening, one on “Unity With Christ,” and the. other “World Unity or World War.” This is only a very brief resume of the main event in each session. Besides this, there were many talks from the boys themselves and from students of the U. of M. The University quartette and Boys’ Glee Club also furnished special music on three occasions.

The higher the selfii ‘ their stock of the more successful, thought. Every business move was shrouded in the utmost secrecy—as a result the public did not understand big business and viewed it with suspicion. N Five years ago, the Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)decided that If the public knew more about its methods of operation, and had a better knowledge of the ideals animating its practices, suspicion, bom of misunderstanding, would give place to confidence, respect, and esteem. At that time the stockholders in the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) numbered 4,623 and stock in the Company was selling for about *775.00 a share. It was decided to acquaint the public, in a frank and open manner, with facts concern­ ing the ownership of this Company—Its Management—its policies—its principles— its practices—its ideals—and the true rela­ tionship between the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the public it serves. Each w;eek the public press has carried a message dealing with some phase of the business of this. Company. As fast as the Company could bring it about the par value of the Company’s stock was reduced and the capital stock was in­ creased until the price per share was brought to a point where it was within the reach of small investors. At this writing the stockholders in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) number 43,081 and the selling price of its stock is about $59.00 per share. Today, the man of modest means can be­ come a stockholder in the Company and no one stockholder owns as much as six per cent of the total stock. Confidence, respect, and esteem have routed suspicion and misunderstanding. The patrons of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are its friends—Its employes are happy family —the stockholders are ud of the fact that they are part owners in such a shirt-sleeved organization which places service before profits and by se doing has earned the good will of the thirty million people of the two-fisted Middle West AT CHRISTMAS TIME Wa ring the belia and wa ralie tha a train,' W« bang vp gvrlnnda evarywhara And »!4 tha Upere twtnfcie Uir.

MOTOR Winter punishes a motor cruelly by attacking lubrication — but Polarine is made to lubricate thoroughly the remotest frictional surface at extremes of temperature—and it does it. Polarine functions because it has the correct viscosity to limber up fast in icy weather—the oil’film spreads freely between the moving parts; this means easy starting—flexible operation. Polarine always maintains a complete and perfect seal against loss of power — cold weather calls for all the power your engine is capable of developing. Use Made in Five Grades Polarine is made by the Standard Oil Company [Ind­ iana]. It measures up in every way to the high standard of quality established by this Company for all of its products. There is a grade of Polarine which will correctly lubricate your car. Consult chart for our recommendation. Back of every Polarine recommendation stand hun­ dreds of tests—this is for your protection.

Into each home there hud come a strengthening nnd rekindling of family ties and a new birth of love nhd service that reached out even beyond the home. Out on tlie res­ ervation, however, the Indians went about their tasks as usual, for no hint of the wonder and the glory of the Christmas time had yet come to them. And IT they/felt a mys­ terious sometldng In the air At tills time, they under­ stood it not nt all, for the brightness from the Star of Bethlehem had not yet buret upon them. Moonlight Brook was very lonely— she had only little Silver Star, her daughter, with her now—the big chief had sent Strong Oak, her husband, with other braves, on a mission to a distant village. And Moonlight Brook had missed him every hour, for their love was still burning us bright as tlie big camp fire that biased near tho tepees at dusk. Her love of tlie great open spaces helped to cheer her during the long hours of his absence. Every day with little Silver Star she wandered afar. In these lonely places that she went there always came to her the sense of sntjie unknown presence—the hand of some great power. Early one morning Moonlight Brook called little Silver Star to her and told her that they would go for a long walk, away up to Roaring Creek. Moonlight Brook was lost in wunder at the beauty of the scene, but a great and sudden change had come over the day. Now, looking at tlie lowering, threatening sky, she decided that she must make all possible haste buck to the village. For with the dark­ ness and the gloom that had come over all there had come, too. from across the prairie a low menacing wind that carried with it at times small, dry snowflakes. With Silver Star in her arms Moon­ light Brook started In the direction of the village, walking with the swift, strong stride of the woman who Ilves much In the open The snow now was coming down In large flakes and tlie wind bad grown blizzard-like In Its velocity. Hope was fast dying within her, for she was trembling from ex­ haustion. Then overwrought nature did the thing which she had tried hard to keep from happening—she sank upon the snow—her last thought ns she felt consciousness leaving her, to wrap the blanket closer about little Silver Star and to waft a prayer to the Great Spirit to take care of Strong Oak when she was gone. af'CKristmas But the prairie has many stories to tell of strange things that hove happened there, and on this day there was added to the Hat another of those coincidences which happen oftener In real life than some Would have us believe. For Strong Oak and bls party came by where Moonlight Brook and Silver Star lay a short time after they had sunk exhaust­ ed. Some of the men had tried to take the other trail, but some­ thing within him. that strange, un­ known force which times, made him choose the Roaring Creek trail instead and he found his loved ones and with the help of the guides they reached the village in safety. A few hours later. Moonlight Brook and Strong Oak sat hand in hand, the estastlc happiness of being reunited surging within them. Moonlight Brook whispered over and over that It was a miracle that the Great Spirit had wrought thnt Strong dak should have found her. And Strong Oak told her that while lie had been gone he had heard the story of the Christ Child who had come ufion earth on this dry, which ever since has been called Christ mail. As Moonlight Brook listened to the beautiful story that lies been told so much, but which keeps its-thrill through the ages, she felt that this day was indeed a day of miracles, /or, like her bronzed brave, the story brought her a wonderful peace and stilled the restless long­ ings which bad come to her so often HASTINGS, MICH Local Telephone Service Is Not All OU use your telephone to call local friend, store or office—that is local service.

DECEMBER 12. 1923 FARMERS’ CLUBS GIVE VIEWS ON ISSUES Speak Plainly in Demanding Representative Government and Tax Reform Delegates to the 31«t annual conven­ tion of the State Association of Farm­ ers’ Clubs inerting at the Michigan Agricultural College Dec. 4-5, adopted strong resolutions favoring a tworent gasoline tax with a 60 cent per hundred weight tnx for highway fi­ nancing purposes, favored a state.in­ come tnx in lien of the "general prop­ erty tnx, and endorsed the stand of the State Board of Agriculture in its battle against the State Administrative Board in defense of its constitutional control of tho Agricultural College and its ag­ ricultural extension work in the coun­ Tlie support given the State Board of Agriculture was vigorously worded and gave notice that the Associated Farmers Clubs demand that the consti tutionnl boards elected by the people for the purpose of directing the affair* of our educational institutions such ns the Agricultural College, the University find other schools shall be permitted to do so ••without dictation or inter­ ference from the executive branch” of the state government. The Agricultural Board’s suit to compel the State Ad.ministralive Board to cease its inter­ ference with financial and administra­ tive affairs of the Agricultural College is now resting with the State Supreme Court for a decision. The action of the Farmers Club makes Michigan farmers’ organizations unan­ imous on the above questions. The Mich­ igan Potato Growers Exchange in state convention have adopted similar reso­ lutions. The State Fann Bureau in its annual meeting last February supported all the issues except the agricultural board matter, which hnd not come up nt that time. Since then, however, tho State Farm Bureau directors nnd hun­ dreds of local and county Farm Bu­ reaus have left no doubt regarding their positive opinions in the matter. The Association of Fanners Clubs also recommended that reapportionment of the senatorial and representative dis­ tricts be postponed until the constitu­ tional convention of 1926. The Farmers Club convention was well attended. All sessions wore held in tho Agricultural College. Secretary Halladay of the college invited the as­ sociation to hold all future sessions there. The delegates nt their banquet Dec. 4, given ut tho Homo Economics building nt the college nnd served by the Domestic Science department, spoke of the splendid hospitality accorded thorn by the college and the interest that the college departments and em­ ployes have for every fanner visitor. All speakers at the banquet com­ mented upon the happy fnct thnt all Michigan farm organizations nre work­ ing together in complete harmony. President Nobles of the Formers Clubs spoke of the need for more improved machinery to do nwny with farm drudg­ eries, difficult housework, etc., nnd raid that ho believed electrification of the farm wn« tho solution therefor. He advised fanners to keep close to their educational institutions nnd support them. Hpeaking of tho progress of marketing, he raid that since tho Farm Bureau crime into being farmers have progressed further with their marketing problems in tho past four yours than they hnd in twenty years prior lo thnt time. Toastmaster N. P. Hull took occa­ sion to point out thnt the farm outlook is brighter today than nt any time in the pnst throe years nnd that the trend tn the cities will automatically solve our overproduction problems, also thnt migration is proceeding nt the rate of tn 3,000.000 persons per year nnd the time can not bo fur distant when tho price balance will be favor­ able to farmers again. Farm Bureau summed up the really re­ markable progress Michigan fanners are making in business organization nnd pointed out thnt since the organized farmer has gone out nnd hired tho best brains available for his business enterprises, he is enjoying the same measure of success that business is, ami is constantly on the gain. FEDERAL JUDGE KNAPPEN . MAY RETIRE FROM BENCH Former Hastings Man Will Soon Reach Retiring Age for Federal Judges The following press dispatch appeared in the Grand Rapids Herald of Friday, it will interest many Hastings friends of Judge Knnppen, who was born and grew t<> manhood in this city, nnd who end years before his removal to Grand Rapids, where he became the leader of the bar of thnt city, and was Inter named ns a federal judge. The dis­ patch reads: Cincinnati, Dor. 6.—Judge Loyal E.

This is the closed shop at its worst. Suppose conditions hnd been reversed, and thnt 900 non-union men had refused to work because the com­ pany insisted on employing a member of the union. What an uproar there would have been. Society would have been scandalized and the impudent non-union workers would have been promptly suppressed.

It ia not an eaay matter to describe the various processes in'the manufacture of flour, but your own good judgment will tell you that the more even the particles of flour are, the better it will absorb the yeast and moisture when it comes to baking. Your own good sense will tell you, too, that the more perfect the grain is cleaned, the cleaner the flour will be, and the less impurities there will be in the flour. In the manufacture of FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR we put the grain through 17 different sets of rolls, each one reducing the parti­ cles of flour to a more even granulation. Flour made by the ordinary mills only passes through three or four sets of rolls. You can see from this why FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR is BETTER thanzother flours; why it absorbs yeast more uniformly; why bread made from it is better and why the QUALITY is always uniform. Before we commence to make FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR, ALL the grain is thoroughly washed, scoured and polished. You don't find any particles of dust and dirt in FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR as you may find in other flours, because it is all removed before the wheat gets to the rolls. . If you are having difficulty in baking bread of satisfactory quality why not try a sack of FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR? Make a batch of bread from FRENCH'S WHITE LILY FLOUR and a batch from any other flour claimed to be just as good. Bake the loavea in. the same oven at the same time. We are glad to abide by the RESULTS, because we know in advance what they will be. There is more FRENCH’S WHITE LILY FLOUR sold in Barry county than all other flours combined. That is the best evidence of what people who use it really think of it.

This demonstration, put on by M. A. C. land clearing specialist at the re­ quest of E. L. Hunter, director of the' bureau of drains of the Michigan state department of agriculture, accomplished unexpectedly satisfactory results and proved the great economy of explosives on certain types of ditching work. “The use of explosives ean not put dredging out of business,’’ says L. F. Livingston, head of the M. A. C. clear­ ing service who superintended the demonstration, “for there are many types of jobs where dredging is tho proper method to employ. In many cases, however, blxstihg is undoubted­ ly more economical nnd efficient. This is especially so where the job is a com­ paratively small one, making the over­ head cost of moving in dredging ma­ Bite of the Scorpion.

LADIES’ NIGHTS—TUESDAY AND THURSDAY West End Cigar Store JACOB REHOR, Proprietor PHONE 2214 One striking difference between Christmas 1923 and Christmas 1823 is to be found in the so-called home conveniences or serv­ ices of today. During the last hundred years Ameri­ can inventors and scien­ tists have set a pace that no other nation has been able to follow. You and I are the benficiaries of this progress. We have at our command, and at most reasonable cost, a variety of labor­ saving services that the millionaire of a century ago never dreamed of. Gas service in 1823 was strictly a lighting service. It dominated one field of usefulness alone. Today it cooks the meals of more than forty million Ameri­ can people, heats the wa­ ter for something like sev­ en million others, warms the homes of hundreds of thousands and is used for industrial heating opera­ tions in several thousand different ways. And gas service is still growing! Consumers Power Co. HASTINGS, MICH. Hastings^ Michigan ahott’* Friday evening. Cafeteria sup* per beginning at six thirty.

Tho problem involved an analysis of condition* in France, Germany and England, tho countries from which we must expect any considerable demand for what America may hnvc to soil. Naturally tho first subject for inves­ tigation was the degree of unemploy­ ment of labor. In that matter condi­ tion# varied markedly in tho three countries. Franco had practically no unemployment. In England the situa­ tion is serious, over 2,500,000 laborers being out of work, with tho govern­ ment giving each an unemployment pension to maintain them and their families. In Germany many millions are out of employment, suffering being already acute among the laborer* and salaried men. This condition and it* cause* arc mentioned nt length Inter on In thi* article. Mr. Michael learned that the feeling nmong neutral nations toward France had been completely changed from active sympathy for that country to resentment because of what was deemed French aggression in tho Ruhr and her course toward Germany. The latter country now has the sympathy of Hol­ land, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, ns well as that of Franco’s former al­ lies, Italy and England. . This changed feeling was also shown ' markedly by American visitors, who feel that France is becoming a* militaristic as Germany over wa* and as greedily seeking her own interests without much regard for the effect upon neutral nation*, her for­ mer allies and especially upon the German people. The industrial portion* of France suf­ fered frightful devastation during tho World war. Not all of thi* was caused by the German nrmy.

Hence the carol expresses tho true spirit of Christmas a* no other class of vocal musie can. In olden times, particularly in Eng land and Russia, it wax tho custom of children to sing carol* upon street corners, at the doorstops of thoir friend* and in public hall* in order to inspire within the hearts of their hearers the true meaning of the Christmas me* sage.' This year agnin, there will lie group* of children from the school who will carol Christmas Evo. from 6 to 7 o’clock. The Parent-Teachers’ Asso­ ciation nro sponsoring this movement, getting leaders to take group* of chil­ dren around. The children have been taught the carols during their music period* and the music supervisor has chosen the children to make up these groups. There will be at least one group for each ward. Everyone de­ Hiring tho caroler* to stop and wing in front of their homo please have a lighted candle in the window. 1 CITIZEN OFFERS GOOD SUGGESTION IF FOLLOWED, EVERY APPROAOH TO CITY COULD BE PAVED SUGGESTED PLAN FOR CITY HIGHWAY POLICY Weuld Make Hutlngi an Ideal Oily in Way of Paved Approaches Wo henrd a #ugge*tion tho other day from one of our citizen* with reference to the paving of the approaches to this city, that wo consider of very much merit. This citizen called attention to the fact that moat of the principal ap­ proaches into Hastings were parts of State Trunk Line highway#. The poli­ cy of this state is, a* rapidly as possi­ ble, to pave these highways because of tho imcnae traffic they have to bear. It has been demonstrated beyond ques­ tion that gravel is not the right mate­ rial for trunk line highways. This sit­ uation will undoubtedly lead, in the not distant future, to having the state take over tho paving of all the ap­ proaches to this city that are ports of trunk line highway*. That will take care of Wont Green street, State street cast to the city limit* and the south end of Hanover, also North Michigan ave­ nue, and from the turn of Michigan avenue east to tho city limits. The state ha* already prepared for the pav­ ing of Broadway north from State street to the intersection with Cemetery Road, and then west on tho Cemetery Road to the city limits. This fortunate situation for our city will leave but two main approaches, as this gentleman pointed otft, that will need paving and they are Broadway from Cemetery Road to the north eity limits and tho Stats Road east from Michigan avenue to tho city limit*. This will bo a little lew than two miles. This gentleman suggested that the eity take at least half of the money that it raises each year for highway purpose* and use it as far as it would go in paving on each of these approaches sh year. At the end of six or eight the paving of every approach to ity of Hastings would then be pror. That would leave the eity in vid ate position of being able to the fo lly all the money it might use .p wny purpose* on the cross raise for streets, whi kwould be an exceedingly ion for Hasting*. desirable sit is gentleman’s *ugWe commen acil, believing that gestion to the coaiidoration, and it is well worth th that it would be — part of the fixed polifcy of this city to adopt that course. That would end the problem of approaches for many, many years to coiue and would make our city known far and wide for its fine enterprise in taking care of tho main travelled roads leading into the city.

This is a matter that ought to have serious consideration on the part of everyone who is interested in the de­ velopment of this eity. There have been a few now house* constructed this rear, hut nothing like nn adequate building program hn* been undertaken. Something of that kind is necessary in order that the people who want to live in Hastings may be accommodated, and in order that this city may be able to expand industrially as it should. For instance, 'this situation arcs* more than a year ago: An institution employing 400 people, located in a large city, deaired to move it# plant to Hasting*. It would have asked no bonus of our citizens. The proprietor, who wa* in Hasting# at the time, was so imprefwed with this city, the char­ acter of it# people, the kind of labor that would be available, that he ex­ pressed himself as willing to undertake nt once the locating of his plant in this > city IF he eould be assured that tho men. whom he would bring here, eould find houses for their familiea. It hap­ pened that, at that time, there were not house* enough in Hasting# for the . >eople who were already here to live n, in any kind of comfort, and the matter had to be dropped. But that show* where Hasting# i# at the present tune ami where it will continue to re­ main unless a housing campaign shall be put on. . Hasting* now ha* four smaller indus­ tries that have been established here in recent year*. They have every out­ ward indication of . growing. Even these will be hampered in their growth unless something is done to provide house* for people to live in. It seem* to tho BANNER as if it ought to be possible to devise some way ia which a building campaign eould be put on in Harting# and at leart 75 houses added next year. We believe if the people Of this eity will serion#ly address themselves to that proposition, it can be, done. We notice that it i» being actually done in Sturgis and in Ionia. There would #eem to be bo rea­ son why Hasting# #bou!d not be able to do what Ionia and Sturgis are doing. RURAL CARRIERS NOT TO MAKE ROUTES CHRISTMAS Rural Carrier® to Have Christ­ mas Day—City Carriers to Work Only Till Noon Heretofore the rural carriers have been obliged to sene their patrons on Christmas day, and it was the oaly hol­ iday on which that requirement was enforced. This year, and hereafter, rural carriers will not be compelled to make their routes on Christmas day, but may have the whole day at homo with their families. And that is as it should be. The city carriers will not be quite so fortunate this year, although they are pleased to note the shortening of their hours of service on Christmas. Here­ tofore they have workod all day on this holiday when they would be so glad to be at their own homes. However they will be required to work only until noon this year, and can stop work then no matter whether the packages and Christmas mail is all delivered or not. They can have Christmas dinner and spend the afternoon at home. This cut­ ting down of service hours for them is no doubt just the first step—let us hope no at least—toward giving them the en­ tire day later. You have noticed that, in recent yearn, your Uncle Bam has been in­ creasingly stressing the idea that Christ­ mas packages be mailed early. He was paving the way for giving his em­ ployees in the mail service the entire day on Christmas. And that is just what ought to be done. The packages can well be mailed in time, just as well as not, so that’the carriers, city as well as rural, ean have Christmas day with their families. The time has arrived when that can be done with the rural carriers, and no doubt at no distant day the same privilege will be granted city carriers. PENNOCK HOSPITAL.

It would not pump the quantity of water stipu­ lated in the contract, nor would it the saving in coal which was repre­ sented. The company seemed disposed to bo fair. Atwt ropuatwl kxl .kown that the pump eould not fulfill the guaranty, they agreed to furnish an­ other oat whieh V»uM meet contract conditions. It appears that the Caaton Company was organized largely as a selling or-, gauizatiou, having no factory of iti own, their business being to market pumps which they designed. The Lowe Manufacturing Company, of Cleveland, did the most of the work on the first pump, and they also did the work on the larger pamp, whieh tho Canton Com­ pany had built to take the place of the one that failed. This much larger pump was sent to Hastings not long ago by the Canton GompaV, ‘^e eity has it housed in the water works plant. Tho agreement was that th© Canton Pump Company would themselves in­ stall this new machine, but they have failed to do so up to this time. Some­ thing must have gone wrong with the company, because no replies are reccived to tho city’s letters addressed to them, asking them to come on and fulfill the agreement. The Lowe Manufacturing Company have written the eity, asking the eity to install the pump; but the council very properly declined. They consider that that job is not their job. The situation now appear* to be that the city is in possession of a large pumping outfit that it seems quite probable would more than fulfill the in.ta.ty of the Canton Pomp Cowpunybut the pump isfi’t doing the citv m the Canton Company any good. THe city nas invesiea, so lar, » comparatively small amount iu initiall­ ing the first pump. The second one would require a considerably larger ex­ pense for installing. It seems probable that some compli­ cation ha* arisen between the Canton Company and the Lowe Company. At least, no answer can be obtained from cither one. City Attorney Colgrove is at work on the proposition, trying to un­ tangle the matter. If the new pump shall fulfill the guaranty riven and some company will get behind its manufacture so that re­ pairs can be obtained, if they should be required, it Is probable that the mat­ ter can be straightened out to the sat­ isfaction of all concerned.

WARNED TO BEWARE OF THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE National Board of Tire Under­ writers Send Out a Time­ ly Warning As for the general employment of candles about the house at this and other seasons, it would be more than a little amusing to hear the outcry that would follow an interruption of the lo­ cal supply of eloetrieity and gas, mak­ ing the candle a matter not of choice bat of unromantic necessity. According to the statistical records of The National Board of Fire Under­ writers, the use of so-called open lights result, in nearly three minion dollars' worth of property destruction in this country every year, while to them arc due, as well, many of the'15,000 yearly deaths by fire; and one of the common­ est tanas of open light is the candle. Of course the candle is not the only Yulotide hazard, but since it is an im­ portant one, why should it be tolerated unnecessarily f Surely no ono can wish to do anything that might east the shadow of tragedy across the celebra­ tion of Christmas.

A doctor, as ti any other business man, is en­ titled to fair remuneration, one that, .will not merely return him something above his living expenses, but will save him from a dependent old age and provide a comfortable living for him when he ti obliged to give up his work. It must be recognized that the doctor has an investment that means a large capital. In Michigan he ti required to take eight years of special study as well as to do a lot of intern work to prepare himself for practice. The min­ imum expense for eight years of col­ lege work would be *1,000 a year; and surely eight years of the best time in a young man's life should be consid­ ered a large investment. A doctor now must have an automobile, also much expensive equipment ia his office. That means a heavy cost to him. When all of these things are considered, the usual fees asked by doctors are not a* all unrearonable. But there '^ro cer­ tain kinds of senice, particularly i» the way of operations, where it has seemed to us for some time that some of them transgress all reasonable lim­ its and reasonable regard for the kind of work they are doing, and where the aim becomes more one of getting all the “traffic will bear” rather than pne of service.

Annable, the Welfare Officer of the Lawrence J. Bauer Post of the Ameri­ can Legion, asking him to eome down Uj the store at onee. When Frank ar­ rived at the store, he was introduced to Thomas D. Leo of South Bend, Ind. Mr. Lee said that he was up here to see what could be done for his brother, Ray F. Lee, of 812 North Hanover St., in this city. Ray was an ex-service man of the World War, a steam-fitter hy trade. He helped to take care of a good fnany Buddies, who were sick with the flu. While in the service he also became siek, and as the Base hospital was full, he had to stay in his barracks while sick, and thus did not have any hospital record. After he was discharged from the Army, he tried to work and did work about half of the time for 16 months, when he was taken with the sleeping sickness, an after effect of the flu. His life was despaired of for nearly a year, then, with his wife, he went to Ogden, Utah, thinking that tho change of cli­ mate would help him, but it did not, so they returned to Michigan. While in the West, Mr. Lee put in a claim for hospitalization and compensation to the U. 8. Veterans* Bureau. On No­ vember 1922, the Claims Board of the 11th District turned it down. Mr. and Mrs. Lee both became discouraged and returned to Michigan. As soon as Thomas Lee explained the ease to Frank, he (Frank) said, “Your brother comes under the new amend­ ment of the Sweet Bill, which provides for hospitalisation within five years af­ ter discharge. We shall get him hos­ pitalized at onee.” So, a trip to Grand Rapids, yet that afternoon, to the U. 8. Veterans* Bu­ reau Sub-district office, got an order for an examination by two specialists in Kalamazoo for the examination and then it was a matter of waiting until ■ the examinations were sent in to Grand Rapids, then forwarded to Chicago. Frank got Luthur E. Ellis to promise to send them to Chicago by special de­ livery and have Chicago wire back the orders. Much to the surprise of the Welfare Officer, he received word on Wednesday, December 5th, that Chi- ton, also one to John Hartman, Amer­ ican Legion Liaiwon Officer in Chicago. Did it work! We truthfully can say that it did, for on Monday the Wel­ fare Officer received two telegrams. One from Hartman of Chicago which read: "Authority to hospitalize Ray F. Lee at Speedway going forward today. Case is now pending before Central of­ fice Board of Appeals. An attendant will bo authorized.” From Washington came one, whieh read: "Emergency hospitalization Ray F. Lee authorized this date, Edward Hines Jr. Hospital, Maywood, Illinois. Pending action Central office Appeal Board.” (The Speedway Hospital and the Edward Hines Jr. are both tho same hospital). Frank says that he is not satisfied yet and will not be until Ray is drawing what he should from tho government. "Do what we can for our disabled Buddies,” (if they have legitimate claims like that of Ray F. Lee), is the motto of the Welfare Department of the Lawrence J. Bauer Post, American Legion. And all agree that Frank W. Annable is living up to that motto. **«>»*«**** Nashville Banks closed Tuesday noon to hear Dr. Winfield Scott Hall. Rev.

When Germany began to make big: exportations of good* to England and France, the people of these and other allied countries discovered that Ger­ man makers of the good* had addod th* 27 per eent export duty levied by the ollies, *o that the effect was that the allied people were themselves pay­ ing the reparations to their own gov­ ernment* which Germany was supposed to pay. So France at onee reduced her allotted quota ' of import* from Germany to 30 per cent of tho agreed on amount, and demanded that tho reet of her imports from Germany must consist solely of such goods as iron, coal and coke, which French man­ ufacturers could use. But Germany could not supply sueh quantities as France demanded of these three items without seriously crippling her own industries, thereby bringing a serious situation in Germany. England and the other allies refused to back France in the threatened enforcement of thia demand. It should be noted here that at the peace conference, France had demanded that her own eastern boundary be ex­ tended to the Rhino and later modified that demand to the creation of a buffer state composed of Germany's Rhine pro­ vinces. Failing to get these conces­ sions at Versailles, it is the feeling in authoritative circle* in Europe that French policies have now been delib­ erately directed to attain this end. Ro we find France today occupying German territory beyond tho Rhine and threatening to oecupy Ham­ burg. It is felt that France will later offer to compromise and withdraw her sphere of influcnee to the frontier of the Rhine provinces somewhat cast of the Rhine over. Conditions Ln France. The French farmers have become veiy rich as a result of high prices dar­ ing the war. The high level of priec® on farm products since the war has been maintained by a high tariff on wheat, flour and meat products. France Is to-day, according to the Paris repres­ entative of‘the International Harvester Co. of America, absorbing more .farm machinery.‘per square mile than Any other country in the world, which indi­ cates the great prosperity far­ mers. ! , ti ■ Interesting peculiarities fifth* Frenjli farma'r-nro His'great industry, hi* ex­ treme frugality and his desire to in­ vest his savings in government bonds. About 70 per cent of the billions of bonds inmed by France to restore her devastated regions, have been taken hy the French farmers. General conditions in France are exceedingly prosperous, Mr. Michael says. Not only are all her people at work, women as well as men. but France now maintains employment agencies in Poland and other Eastern European countries to recruit labor for French farms, factories and public works. It is interesting, be says, to note that each one of these imported young men who come to France to work is subjected to rigid physical and mental tests, so that in case he shall decide to remain in France there will be confidence that he will become a good citizen. These young men arc pouring into France, several ship loads every week, and there are thousands and thousands of them there already. Polish government officials told Mr. Michael that they expected a large proportion of these young men would become citizens of France. This im­ migration of virile young Pole* into France is destined to have a profound effect upon the future of both countries and of Europe also. Conditions in Germany. The general effect of Germany’s in­ ability to meet her reparation payments has been to play havoc with her fi­ nance*. Germany at first tried to meet payments by floating bag time guaran­ teed bond imt*. These •guaranteed bonds met with very limited sale. The peculiar psychology of the peo­ ple who are citizens of the allied coun­ tries now began to show itself. They would not buy guaranteed bonds, but they would nnd did take the gambler’s chance of buying huge quantities of Germany’s irredeemable and unguaran­ teed paper marks. The German gov­ ernment, finding itself forced to pay reparations in cash, found that the only If the farmer eould thns enrich him­ self during this period-of wildcat in­ flation you can imagine how much fartber the Industrial, commercial and banking institutions took advantage of this situation. A* th* mark fell, in­ dustrial stocks roe* in proportion. It became easily possible for an institution to borrow oa its plant and good will large sum* from tho bank. One third of this sum would be invested in raw materials, and the oth*r two third* exchanged for gold and deposited in English, Dutch, Danish or American banks. In a comparatively abort time half of this gold, deposited in a for­ eign bank, would be ebangod again into German marks, and would be sufficient to repay all of the loan at the bank. A* a reault of this system German fac­ tories have been rebuilt and extended and equipped with the latest and best types of machines, the** factories have immense supplies of raw material*, and have large deposits in American or other foreign banks, which can readily bo converted into gold. Such deposits abroad are kept in the names of dum­ mies as they are subject to confisca­ tion if discovered by allied agents. As a result, German factories and rail­ roads have been completely modernized. This process that has put Germany in the best position of any nation for minufaeture, has pauperized the salaried nnd labor classes and made multimil­ lionaires of many captains of industry and made Hugo Btinnes tho wealthiest individual in the world. Henry Ford is just a piker in comparison with St innos, who has remoraele.Mly squeezed billions out of the laboring and salaried classes of Germany. J4r. Michael said that thia plan had succeeded so well in Germany that when he Was in Poland the Polish industrial­ ist* were clamoring for a like inflation of their currency so they might reap the aamo harvest as did Stinnes and tho other Gorman industrialists. The question naturally arises: Why did not the German government tax its farmers and industrialist* and so pre­ vent their profiteering* The government did that. But a tax baa to be levied at some specific date, say January 1. A penalty would be levied for failure to pay. Say tho penaltv would be opera­ tive by March 15. The farmer or in­ dustrialist would not fight tho levy in court, for court costs would take mon­ ey. So he let th* government take and cxeent* it* judgment and when be final It had to pay, the mark would have fallen to possibly a tenth or a hMdrqth of its former value and so evennn’case that he must pay hi# fa* plus probably even by dodging payment •Mr. Miehaol said that Americans in Bylin who invested in German securitiS'were able to borrow money on them ascertain banks,, and told him they w»re able to live for months by increasinn their loins on these guaranteed se­ curities as the bonds increased in value, and finally sold the securities for enough to pay all their debts, and had more than their money back. Just as this Jnflhliou worked for iho --- --------------- —r----------i---------------- - redeemable currency in other coun­ tries, did thia, and got good gold dol­ lars for it, which it paid on its repara­ tions. According to the rule* of the financial game this was legitimate. But it was a violation of economic law, re­ sulting in the fall in value of the Ger­ man mark, first slowly then by leap* nnd bounds. This peddling of paper German marks went on until the world was fed up on the worthless stuff, and lost heavily on its gambling in Ger­ many ’• paper currency. With the falling in value of the mark, the German fanner soon discovered that he did not dare take hi* pay for his pro­ duce in marks which declined in value before he could decide what to buy with them. But this decline also worked to hia advantage. The entire agricul­ tural population discovered that the de­ creasing value of the currency offered air easy method of ridding themselves of troublesome mortgages. Not only could he easily eliminate his mortgage, but *the more faraeeing farmer also discovered, that labor and materials needed for new buildings and fertjlic-. i0ghi. land were made available to him] by this decline. By borrowing large sums of marks he built buildings, bought machinery, laid in stocks of fertilisers, bought furniture for his home, and the fall in value of the mark accompanied by the tremendous rise in the prices .for hi® products offered an easy way to Ury>«e<LtIa . w farmer could repay ---------------r .

It is up to Germany, Mr. Michael thinks. And the allies, and particularly France, must be made to see that un­ reasonable meaaurex will get her no­ where, and will make it more and moro certain that Germany’s ability to pay will be destroyed. , Conditions in Poland.

This growth and the development into twos had been watched up to 3,000 genera­ tion* by itcientists. Now the greatest living authority on biology hud de­ clared that protoplasm, the lowest form of animal life, was immortal. Dr. Hall called attention to the condition of that immortality. If the Amoeba hail con­ tinued to live and grow for and by itself, it would have died; but because it lived apparently for the purpose of sacrifice and service for its successors, it never dire. The obvious reason of sacrifice and service is thus evident in the very lowest form of animal life in tho wonderful kingdom of Nature. Tho next higher type of animal life is where the propagation of species is not by the sub-division of the original cell, as in the case of tho Amoeba, but springs from what might bo called a germ of life reposing within the body of the animat Tho highest type of life is what we call tho mental life, nnd is represented by man as tho thinking animal. We have discovered with reference to him, by studying tho laws of mind, that his mentality is of two kinds, whut wc call tho conscious mind nnd tho sub-con­ scious mind; but Dr. Hall said a bet­ tor definition for the latter would be the supe.r-mind. Speaking of the conscious mind, he said you could cut a holo in tho skull of a man and take out a certain part of the gray matter and you could para­ lyze the arm; taking out a little more, farther in front, you could paralyze the limb; taking out another part, you could destroy tho sight and hearing. Proceeding farther to tho front of tho skull and removing tho gray matter, you would destroy tho ability to con­ sciously reason. . , . • This-conscious mind was a mind that would grow weary; it required rest. It depended upon certain brain cells. It was through this conscious mind that we reasoned and gained our touch with the world outside of ourselves through the five.senses. Dr. H*V statedthat there was another mind which never rested, was always at work, which never forgets, “ feta, who whose operations depend upon no partioubr rella of tho body. This was thosupermind, nnd science hns agreed that this is immortal. This is that which is spoken of in tho opening chapters of Genesis as God breathing into human­ ity “a living souL’’ Pre-War Prices Hotel Rowe Grand Rapids9 New Fireproof Hotel Room rates have been reduced to con­ form to the present day demand for lower living costs.

If you have noticed the guilty, mis­ erable look that Carl Bauer is wearing lately you may attribute it to fear and worry over the suit that Colon Schaibly is bringing against him. It seems that Carl, for various personal reasons, has repeatedly tried to slander the fair name of Schaibly by falsely running down hia character and even sneering at his mental ability. These actions were so harmful to Colon Schaibly and so estranged him from his friends, he decided, reluctantly, that they must be stopped after all peaceful measures had failed, he took recourse to the court of iustice, namely Congress. Hiring a fel­ low Congressman, Claude Kantner, as his lawyer he proceeded to sue Carl Baner for unjustified slander. Suffi­ cient evidence was placed before Speak­ er Ritchie of the Congress to convince him of the necessity of the suit. Legal authorisation for the trial was accord­ ingly given and Cong. Bauer was placed under arrest by the 8ergeant-at-Arms of Congress. He has decided to contest the suit and has hired Charles McIn­ tyre, a well-known lawyer of wide, al­ though doubtful reputation, to repre­ sent him in the coining triaL Thia trial will be held Thursday, Dec. 20, after school, in Boom 20.

There is no hate in the hearts of the young people of any land, and tha, young people in Ger­ many, France, Denmark, Russia nnd in the British Isles and America are all i at crested ia tho moral, spiritual and uplift welfare of the young people in every land.” “The most important institutes in any community,” said Dr. Gratz, “nre tho home, the public school and the j church. These arc the foundation stoucs on which the republic rests. The church is the inspiration .'-and the sup­ port of tho homo and the school. Tho local church is the unit on which the whole chureh rests. Weaken the chureh in your neighborhood, and you weaken tho whole social, moral and spiritual structure. ” “In these institutes for young men nnd young women we are gathering together at strategic places in the United States to train and develop the youth of America for leadership at home nnd abroad. These young peo­ ple arc our future senators, congress­ men and leaders in the professions in the church and community. “The glory of youth is doing the things thnt cannot be done.

Dreamers arc the mon who built the railroads, the <1 reamers are the builders of tomorrow. To youth belongs enthusiasm, to old ago rheumatism. Enthusiasm belongs to youth not to old age. Put the en­ thusiasm of youth behind the church, we could put anything over. Tho Meth­ odist church was started 'by a group of college boys who had a vision. We need tho enthusiasm of youth for the big things of the Kingdom. We must har­ ness this enthusiasm. When a nation is In danger it looks to its youth to save it.

Until a public eonKiouaneM is awakened to this fact, de­ manding that strict quarantine of these riekncMO. that accompany other killing diseases, then they will continue taking their toll of child life. Measles, a child reaper by preference, is not only rampant again, but is in­ creasing' at a period of the year when it usually pojpes down. Whereas but 11,647 case* were reported to the Mich­ igan Department of Health up to De­ cember 1 last year, the first eleven months of 1923 have seen 28,142 ease* reported. Yet the deaths from measles thi* year only exceed those for the first eleven month* of 1922 by one, 225 to 224, leaving that many more sufferers from after effects of the disease. The measles epidemic last spring, while serious enough, was the natural working out of a cycle of disease. Measles strike hard every throe, years. But the sharp increase of reeent months Is unexpected. Of 786 case* reported during October, 17 died. October 1922 •nw 59 cases reported, one of which re­ sulted in death. Cases reported during the first four days of December number 209 as compared with 19 for the same days of lost year. The average for the past ten years at this time is 63, which shows on unusual condition existing at* present. Says Dr. R. M. Olin, State Health CommiMionor, in commenting on the in­ explicable attitude taken by many par­ ents, “Considering it tho usual run of child life to encounter measles and oth­ er disease, of childhood, theso people took ’the sooner over, the better’ point of view, and exercised little care to pre­ vent these ailment*. It’s simply pre­ posterous! With proper care and fore­ sight, children need encounter little sickness. Parents uro sadder and wiser too often, when their offspring have .either died from nseask*. or incurred some permanent disability ns an after­ math of the disease.’’ ImUllation Will Take Piece M Firct January Meeting The officers elected to servo Barry Lodge, K. of P-, for the coming year, are as follows:— Chancellor Commander—R.

The smoking of the "Pipe of Pence" among tl»e A in eri cun Indians was a ceremony attended with great solem­ nity. Tbe peace pll»e, called by the French the culumet, was treated with great reverence and was brought out only upon the most important occa­ sions, sudi as the making ot^ |>eace treaties, the reception of a distin­ guished stranger with whom the tribe wished to be upon good terms. If the occasion did not bring forth the pipe of peace, it was a sign of hostility. To refuse to smoke it when offered was a cause of offense. The calumet was between two and three inches lung, and the stem rather than the bowl was the object of the lndiun'8 reverence. The stem was of reed, artistically decorate*! with . women’s hair of eagle's quills. Among the western tribes the pipe bowl was of red catlinite, a fine-grained stone of deep red color found In Coteau des Prairies, west of Big Stone luke. In South Dakota.

They had talked, a number of them, the last time many had been there, of tbe busy days ahead, shopping, wrap­ ping up Christmas parcels, helping their wives or their daughters or their grandchildren tn the gay plans for Christman. Only he had no plans to make. He gave his employees, and a number of others with whom he came in cuntact, money at Christ­ mas time. Thnt mauds. Other years he hadn’t felt It so much as this year. This year tbe loneliness seemed lonelier than ever before. His soli­ tary condition saddended him. Welt, be would go back to his suite. He would leave the club. Perhaps among his own books, his own things be would not feel so lonely. He would not dine at the dub; lie would have some cheese and crack­ ers and coffee at home. His excellent vulet eould always prepare a little supper for him. Outside of the club his chauffeur and car were waiting. He got In and sat down on the soft, luxuriously upholstered cushions, and the chauffeur closed the door, shutting out the clear, cold Christmas time air and the noise of the streets—the noise of many voices of many people going shopping, with the higher voices of children rising every once In awhile above the din. Ills soul seemed to ache. He was alone. Rich, comfortable, luxurious, alone! No one wanted him. needed him, cared for him. He had every­ thing which money could buy; he had enough money to buy everything he wanted. No, not everything! He wanted love and affection, he wanted to be a part of all this going on outside the luxu­ rious confinement of his car and that he couldn't buy. Mix with the crowds? Yes. he could do that, but not as one of them. Only as a lonely man who had a fat bank account which didn't help In the slightest. And yet couldn't It help? Suddenly he had an Inspiration. He called through the speaking tube to his chauffeur. “I think," he aald, “I will get out here and walk the rest of the way home." The chauffeur was surprised, but he was too well-trained to show surprise. He got out before a large store where In the window was a decorated Christmas tree. He went Inside tbe store. No longer did he feel so lonely. He, too, bad a purpose In mind. He was a part of all of this now. Tinsel, candles, red colored paj>er. ribbons, small toys, decorations, oh, how much he bought. His anus were filled with bundles Just as were^the arms of others. It was such fun to carry bundles, too. He hsd never known before the Joy of overcrowd­ ed arms. Home he went, carrying his be­ loved purchases with him. And then he summoned the Janitor to his lonely suite, which now seemed filled with the Christ­ mas cheer. He talked It all over with him, the plans for the tree, for bls own Santa Claus He bad given the Janitor money be­ fore, of course. This time he would take part In the Christmas of the chil­ dren of the Janitor. Christmas morning came. Never had he arisen so early on a Christmas morning. Dressing himself carefully, he went downstairs. He bad worked until late the night before, decorating the tree, but be was not tired. Suddenly there was a cry, a cry of joy such as he bad never heard. "Why, there's Santa Claus! Dear, dear Santa Claua.” The Janitor's children had always been afraid of him. but not so of Santa Claus! He undid his pack, be took gifts off the tree, and the children climbed over him, kissed him. hugged him, loved him. With what a splendid gusto they loved him! And the children begged Banta Claus to stay for dinner. Curious thing for him to be doing I But, he stayed, and for the first time, almost since he had beer, a child himself, he had a Christ­ mas, a real Christmas, a Christmas filled with love which had driven tbe loaallnesa out!

When this matter of training at Camp Carter is understood by young men and their parents, both will give it hearty endorsement. In tho first place the idea that such a camp ta an aiwembtage of *' rough weeks ’ ’ is wholly erroneous.

Each one is trained in military tactics and discipline, is given the best of entertainments for relaxation and is fully instructed in the fundamental, of American citizenship. He is told how to keep himself in good condition, trained in the proper care of his body and instructed in personal hygiene. It, ta a wonderful training, and. is a real privilege for any young fellow— a privilege he ought to be glad to avail himself of. As Barry County can only have a very limited number to get this training at Camp. Custer next August, under the direct instruction of regular army officer., those who want to get in must apply early. Frederick E. Hill, of this city, has been named as chair­ man of the committee in Barry county to whom application must be made. Major Barzynski spoke briefly at the Rotary Club luncheon - thnt Monday noting their physical health, aad teaching them the finest lesson in pa­ triotism. mentioning ns well the enjoy­ ment to be bad from a month’s stay in the training eamp. Denn Eugene Davenport, of Wood­ land, who wu on the program for this occasion, nnd who followed Major Barzynski, gave his unqualified endorsemeet to what the Major had said. The Doan stated that for about thirty years he had boon at the head of the Illinois College of Agriculture at the Illinois state university, where mili­ tary training, under the direction of an Army officer, wns required. He .poke of tho value of that training to the young men. He said there were 48 colleges and universities in this coun­ try which had received U. 8. aid, and were required to give military training to their student, once n week. He stated that if it had not been for the thousands of young men, thus trained, who went from these 48 colleges into civil life, and who were called to the colors in tho World War, our country eould not have found officers for its millions of soldiers. They were large­ ly recruited from these college men who had had military training. Major Barzynski confirmed thi. statement. The value of such training to our coun­ try is thus very apparent Dean Davenport next explained how the bill providing military training camp, for our young men was passed. After the World War, a targe element in Congress, realizing how illy pre­ ps ml America was for that war, and conscious of the enormous waste and a debt caused by our unpreparedness, determined to push through con­ gress k bill that would require a year’s military training of every young man when he had reached hta eighteenth year. ’ . That bill, had it passed, would have made us a militaristic nation, aping Germany in requiring military train­ ing of every yoon^ man. It would hate meant an enormous military ex­ pense,' aud in the end a big standing army, and would have set our face as a nation in the direction of militarism. Realizing what this meant to the country and bha^'it would pull away from the colleges and bigh schools mil­ lions of young men for a whole year, the 48 head, of colleges where mili­ tary training was required, Dean Dav­ enport one of the number, met in Wash­ ington and, with an aroused public sentiment behind them, framed _ the bill which ■ was passed and which'pro­ vides for our future military officers without giving u. a big standing army, aad which will always give the nu­ cleus with whieh a large army can be quickly put in shape. America will never seek war. But with thi. provisnion, foreign nations will not attack our country with the idea that we can not defend ourselves. As Dean Davenport put it: It is a choice between voluntary preparation like this, that will give ns our officer, if the nation needs them for self-de- ruptcy proceedings in the Fred B. New­ man case. Glenn D. Whitmore was ap­ pointed trustee. of the year, the committee fense, by means of this fine training in our training eamps, or a big standing army with compulsory military serv­ ice. The parents who are foolish enough, he said, to oppose training camp, would, if thev succeeded in keeping ail the you pg’ men away from them, only in­ vite something far worse—compulsory military training and service for ALL young men. Better far to get back of the train­ ing camps and help the young men and the country at the same time. Chance for a Bachelor. The Ripley.

REED, Proprietor PHONE 2110 HASTINGS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY BAKING, ORDER French’s WHITE LILY FLOUR just right, because they are the two most important events that can come in the home. In many cases the family circle will be complete, dear friends will bo honored guests, and the children, perhaps grown to manhood, or womanhood, will come from long distances, possibly enduring the discomforts of days and nights of travel. And what do they come for? Simply to renew the glad Christmas spirit which is world-wide. No matter what your holiday dinner may be, whether simple or elaborate, the one thing that the children especially will look forward to, and expect, will be some of “Mother's Home-Made Bread.” in making bread you will want to use French's White Lily Flour. Why? Because from the early pioneer days of Barry county, the chil­ dren of this county have mostly been “brought up” on bread, rolls and biscuits made from this flour. The dreams of such bread as “Mother made,” and which the children cherish almost as a sacred memory, is doubtless founded upon French White Lily Flour, because there has been far more of it used in this county than of all other flours combined. There is no flour made that can compare with flour made from Michigan-grown wheat It invariably commands a premium and flour manufacturers always like to get Michigan wheat So here our mill is, located right in the very heart of the Michigan wheat section. We use the VERY BEST Michigan wheat that money can buy from which to make French's White Lily Flour, and thus main­ tain its reputation as the best for making bread. We have an equip­ ment for making it that can not be surpassed, and an organization that “knows how” to make the best flour. We have been many years in building up the reputation of French's White Lily. In its manufacture we have developed many ways that added to its QUALITY without in­ creasing the expense. So do not disappoint the children at Christmas time. Get a sack of French’s White Lily Flour, and thus fulfill the yearning at Christmas for some home-made bread, as only Mother can make it. It will be one of the delights of your Christmas or New Year's dinner and nothing you can provide will be more appreciated or more sincerely relished.

For this reason alone the Christmas Dinner is one of the most important gatherings that can come to any home. As the members of the family are gathered around the table, thankful for the blessings of life, the ties that bind them together are surely made stronger.

Since that time the hymn has.been translated Into the language of every nation and the sweet and lofty words ring out at Christmas time In many remote places.

Members of Congress, who feel that we have all th* undigested and indigestible foreign elements in this country that we can stand, and who feel that the peoples from eastern and southern Europe must be practic­ ally excluded, are threatened by the Polish voter*, the Italian voters, the Jew voters, the Slav voters and other foreign groups living in this country with the opposition of their organiza­ tion* at the polls if they do not vote to continue to let their countrymen come here as they may desire. Cana­ da is very wise in preventing such a condition ever existing, and wo hope our own statesmen at Washington will bo brave and big enough to defy any such opposition, and put upon our na­ tional statute book laws that will give us at least a generation or two in which to assimilate the foreign element* that are now here, without having their number added to from sources that will complicate the problem.

We think the governor of thia state treated the legislature as if they were a pack of school kids instead of men of equal responsibility with himself. Instead of specifically notify­ ing the members of the legislature that the subjects for consideration at the special session would bo a re-appor­ tionment, and also a gas tax and weight tax legislation for tho benefit of the highways, he chose to include in his message only the ro-apportionment. Knowing the overwhelming sentiment. would seem as if he thought he could sa^taite the ths mo* «f this state for fair, equitable highway legislation by using it as a club te representation to vetrott. naturally, the legislature resented being treated Me a Krt «f amaM aaheal boya, who had te be told jujt what to db, and if they did what wm pleasing to bin Excellency then ho would five them romothing elee to do.

At ono fell swoop both the Democratic and the sabulous Third Party were bereft of a potential candidate for the presidency, one who was regarded as a promising dark horse in tho Dem­ ocratic ranks and a “white hope” by those gathering about the Third Party ring. 1 * That Mr. Ford would come out for the nomination and elect ion of Mr. Coolidge baa boon predicted of Into by sonio observers oY political affairs. Several weeks ago Mr.'Ford came to Washington nt the invitation of the White House and lunched with the President. They talked principally about the Ford bid for the Muscle Shoals plant. • When Mr. Ford had gone, the Presi­ dent expressed himself favprnbly to the lease of Muscle Shoals on terms simi­ lar to those offered by Mr- Ford. The latter went home and called off the Third Party meeting in Detroit. These circumstances suggested a good under­ standing between President Coolidge and Mr. Ford. The flaborgastedncsA of the Demo­ crats nt the news from Michigan was very evident. They read with mingled feelings the dispatch from Ixinsing. stating that Michigan Democrat* had filed a petition catering Mr. Ford in the Michigan primaries as a candidate for President on the Democratic ticket and tho dispatch from Detroit .stating that Mr. Ford had pronounced un qualified!/ in favor of the nomination and election of Ctilvia Coolidge. Old-timers say that this is the first time in our history thnt a candidate for President has endorsed another can­ didate for President. The Republicans naturally say that this unusual occurcnce augurs well for their prospects. Mr. Ford’s declaration leaves the Third Party field clear to Senator LaFollctte, if he wants to enter the race. The third party advocates have been troubled for n long time over the di­ visions in their rnnka. Some wanted Ford and some LaFollettc. With Ford eliminated they can unite on LaFollette. President Coolidge’s supporters beHove that the Ford statement will annihilate Hiram Johnson’s boom. Democrats shared this view. Senator Willis, Republican of Ohio, nn avowed supporter of President Coolidge, ex­ pressed the opinion that the President’s attitude on Muscle Bhonls had helped to win Mr. Ford’s support. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican senate leader, said, •• A good statement well put and shows how tho tide is running.” The surprising declaration by Mr. Ford thus early in the presidential campaign for nomination would seem to maks it reasonably certain that op­ position to Calvin Coolidge, ns the Re­ publican candidate, would clearly dis­ integrate, and no one can question the powerful help it will be in winning the election for Calvin Coolidge to have Mr. Ford support him so unqualifiedly as he does.

LOPPENTHIEN LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS Lansing, Dee. 22—After sixteen days of futile debates, of explaining of votes,-of questioning each other’s judg­ ment if not integrity, the Legislature adjourned lust Wednesday evening with out passing a reapportionment bill or any other legislation. This result wax predicted by many even before the Legislature convened, as the obstacles standing in the way of redistricting were so many and so insurmountable. Such legislative leaders ns Thomas D. Meggison of Antrim county, speaker pro-tern of the House, declared that it was “a well nigh impossible task to enact a constitutional reapportionment of the state senatorial and representa­ Sheet Fleecea Like Robes.

Rep. John httpic nf Clinton, comment­ ing on this situation, rebuked the Wayne men who now profess such a high and intensive regard for the Con­ stitution. Ho said, “ Where were you when the Governor and his State Ad­ ministrative Board stretched the Con­ stitution to steal from the State. Board of Agriculture the power* nnd duties which the Constitution specifically con­ fers upon them. Were you interested then!” Finding it impossible to apply thc| reapportionment provisions of the Con­ stitution aatisfactorily to the present conditions of the state, the House sent a respectful message to the Governor requesting him to submit a supplemen­ tary message permitting the considera­ tion of a Constitutional amendment, to be submitted to the people, providing for a change in the basis of apportion-' ment. There is a wide spread feeling that representation should be on tho basis of citizenship, rather than total population nnd also that the total num­ ber of senators and representatives from any one county should be strictly limited by the Constitution. Governor Obstinate Again. But Governor Groesbeck flatly re­ fused to allow the Legislature to con- | aider any such proposal. Worse still, I he also withheld his consent for the consideration of the pressing problems of highway financing nnd the gas tax. for whieh he professed to have such n friendly feeling n few weeks ago. Now a majority of the House members seem to feel that he is interested only in getting greater control in the hands of Wayne county, and they do not like thnt. Rep. Floyd Rowe of Hillsdale ex­ pressed pretty nearly the feelings of most of tho farmer members, when after reminding the House of the mis­ deeds of the Wayne members nnd par-; tieularly of their opposition to nil tnx reform, he said, ‘‘I do not wish tn be a party to any move whieh will allow i one county to dictate the affairs of 83 ■ counties. I do not believe that that would be for the best interests of Wayne county, and I am sure it would bo most harmful to the state at large.” There nre many nf the more conserv­ ative citizens of,Detroit who are in­ clined to feel the same way about it. They arc perfectly satisfied to have their laws made by a Legislature with n liberal representation from the rural districts. Even Governor Groesbeck himself is quoted as saying not long ago that Detroit might far better con­ cern itself with the quality of the mem­ ber* which il sends to the Legislature,! rather than howl for an increased quan­ tity. Right or wrong, the Legislature went home leaving things just as they were. They refused to permit the tail tn wag the dog. The special session cost the stat«' considerably over $1,000 for each of the 16 days it lasted. BANNER WANT ADVB. PAT. Collector in Hard Luck.

' It will be a sorry day for Mich­ igan if, by massed vote strength, De­ troit nan exercise a practical veto upon legisiirtion at Loosing.. . we think that if the governor of this state had treated tho legislature with greater consideration than he did, thero might have been ennetod a rea­ sonable re-apportionment that would have given Wayne county Mme in­ crease in its representation in the leg­ islature. We think the governor of this state treated the legislature aa if they were a pack of school kids instead of men of equal responsibility, with himself. Instead of specifically notify­ ing the members of the legislature that the subjects for consideration at the special Melon would bo a re-appor­ tionment, and also a gas tax and weight tax legislation for the benefit of the highways, he chose to include in his message only the re-appohjoament. Knowing the overwhelming sentiment the legislature rewnted being tree Mm a mmH aahaal boy., who L ft what to do, and if they pleasing to hi* Excellency did Id give them something SW uu. .

W.e believe, had the governor taken a .different course and met the legisla­ ture in a fair spirit aad in a fair way, we should right now have a gasoline tax, a weight tax and would have the re apportionment bill abo, with enough increase in representation so that Wayne eounty would have received all she could legitimately expect in the " way of increased representation.

THE TAILOR The McCormick - Deering Manure Spreader —has proven its worth and efficiency in every section, under all conditions and during all seasons of the year. It saves time and labor, spreads manure evenly, en­ riches the soil, increases the yield of crops, makes money, and takes the drudgery out of work. Isn’t it time you owned one? The McCORMICK-DEERING Spreader is easy-pulling and light in draft because it spreads wide from a box’ that tapers one and one-half inches from front to rear, the rear end being wider than the front, which prevents the manure from lodging against the box sides. Power is transmitted fiom both ends of the rear axle; rear wheels track with the front wheels, helping, to re­ duce the draft. A powerful, steady double-ratchet feed, operated by a rocker arm transmission, gives great lever­ age to the large ratchet wheel. The two steel beaters thoroughly cut and tear the ma­ nure, after which it receives an extra beating as it passes through the widespread spiral. The spiral spreads the manure evenly over the entire surface covered, which extends out beyond the wheels. In going over the field on the succeeding ronnds, the wheels do not pass over the manure already sprsad. We would like to have you see this Spreader.

Wintertime Merchandise name in connection with the presi­ dency, Mr. Ford said: “No man has a right to aay he never will consider public offke nor diet hi. own acts aqd ao strong­ ly aa that. But thia I will aay, that I would never for a moment think of running against Calvin Coolidge for President on any ticket whatever.* In thia present situation I am for Cool­ idge." Diapatcht-B from Washington declare that Mr. Ford's declaration in lavW of retaining Calvin Coolidge in th* presidency for four yearn more han upset a great many political calcula­ tions and ha* created a considerable commotion in political circles, partic­ ularly those of the Jeffersonian persua­ sion and the Third Party radicals. At ono fell swoop both the Democratic aad the nebulous Third Party were bereft of a potential candidate for the presidency, one who was regarded as a promising dark horse in tho Dem­ ocratic ranks and a "white hope" by those gathering about tho Third Party ring. 1* That Mr. Ford would como out for the nomination and election of Mr. Coolidge has been predicted of Into by , sonio observers of political affairs. Several weeks ago Mr.'Ford came to Washington nt the invitation of the White House nnd lunched with the President. They talked principally about tho Ford bid for tho Muscle Shoals plant. When Mr. Ford had gone, the Prcnident cxpreiwcd himself favorably to the lease of Muscle Shoal, on terms simi­ lar to those offered by Mr. Ford. The latter wont home and called off the Third Party meeting in Detroit. These circumstances suggested a good under­ standing between President Coolidge and Mr. Ford. The Anhorgantedness of tho Demo­ crat. nt the news from Michigan was very evident. They rend with mingled feelings the dispatch from limiting, stating thnt Michigan Democrats had filed n petition entering Mr. Ford in the Michigan primaries ns n candidate for President on the Democratic ticket and tho dispatch from Detroit stating that Mr. Ford had pronounced un qanlifiedly in favor of the nomination nnd election of Calvin Coolidge. Old-timers say thnt this is the first time in our history thnt a candidate for President has endorsed another can­ didate for President. The Republicans naturally sny that this unusual occurence augurs well for their prospects. Mr. Ford’s declaration leaves the Third Party field clear to Senator LaFollctte, if he wants to enter the race. The third party advocates have been troubled for a long time over the di­ vision* in their ranks. Some wanted Ford and some LaFoilette. With Ford eliminated they can unite on LaFollette. President Coolidge’, supporters be­ lieve that the Ford statement will annihilate Hiram Johnson’s boom. Democrats shared this view. Senator Willis, Republican of Ohio, nn avowed supporter of President Coolidge, ex­ pressed the opinion that the President’s attitude on Muncie Shoals had helped to win Mr. Ford’s support. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican senate loader, said, "A good statement well put and shows how tho tide is running." The surprising declaration by Mr. Ford thus early in tho presidential campaign for nomination would seem to maks it reasonably certain thnt op­ position to Calvin Coolidge, as the Re­ publican candidate, would clearly dis­ integrate, and no one can question the powerful help it will be in winning the election for Calvin Coolidge to have Mr. Ford support him so unqualifiedly as he does. Sheet Fleece. Like Robes. A wool market Is helj annually at Patseo, In the wild, of Tibet. The Tibetan owners of sheep barter the fleece of their flocks for Indian tea and rice nnd cotton good*. These sheep cannot live below 10,U0O feet above sea level, and ns their wool Is In great demand the traders have to bring their commodities on pack poulea, mules and donkeys rigid up Into the heart of the’mountains. About the middle of July the trader*, both parties, converge onto a high valley some 13,000 feet above Sea-level, and there pitch their resitectlvd tamps. The Tibetan sheep obligingly carry their own wool to the .hearing ground, nnd emerge sllio and shorn from a muss of fleece, wlilch looks like buffalo robes. Thfiw fleeces •re rolled Into ns mirall n compass as possible, after being wound Inta tight ropes, and ure bound unto the pack animals. Rereala Man of Education. A New Englund college professor is quoted by n ’librarian us giving this test as u simple mid excellent means of knowing nn educated man, or at least a good user of books: “Hand hliu, for his InMpLi tiun, u printed vol­ ume (In the class of nonfiction. I mean) wlilch he has never seen be­ fore. If he Imniedlutely ujiens the book to the table of contents and stud­ ies it, first, with some cure before paaaIng on to the later, pages, Jhcn you inuy set that man down a* a man of trained Intelligence. He knows that from a u ell-made table of contents he can grasp, tat three mlnutea, an idea of the subject matter and organization of tlje book which could not otherwise be gained la 20 minutes of aimless page-1 umlng and glancing at pictures. Yet it Is this latter random process upon which the average num wastes bls time when u book Is first placed In hia hands." For Home Featuring and Timely Personal Values Use The f,ull enjoyment of winter s busy days and exhilarating pleasures de­ pends in great part upon the wisdom and completeness of the preparations which one makes for this crowded season. Most people are decidedly busy just now in the purchase of winter time merchandise. The warm apparel which is so necessary for the keen enjoyment of the out-of-doors and new furnishings to make the home a welcome haven for the enjoyment of win­ ter evenings—these and many other necessities must be secured without de­ lay.

R. H. LOPPENTHIEN BIG DEPARTMENT STORE HASTINGS, LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS find enthusiastic supporter of the most narrow anti strict interpretation of the Constitution. Recalls Agr’l Board Case. Rep. John Espic of Clinton, comment­ ing on this situation, rebuked the Wayne men who now profcM such a high and intensive regard for the Con­ stitution. He said, "Where were you when the Governor nnd his State Ad­ ministrative Board stretched the Con­ stitution to steal from the State Board of Agriculture tho powers nnd duties which the Constitution specifically c<wfen upon them. Were you interested then!" Finding it impossible to apply thoi renp^ortionment provisions of the Con-1 stitution satisfactorily to the present conditions of the state, the House sent a respectful message to the Governor requesting him to submit a supplemen­ tary message permitting the considera­ tion of a Constitutional amendment, to be submitted to the people, providing for a change in the basis of apportion­ ment. There is a wide-spread feeling that representation should bo on the basis of citizenship, rather than total Copulation and also that the total numer of senator, and representatives from any one county should be strictly limited by the Constitution. Governor Obstinate Again. But Governor Groesbeck flatly re­ fused to allow the Legislature to con- j aider any such proposal. Worse still, he also withhold his consent for the consideration of the pressing problems of highway financing nnd the gas tax. for which he professed to have such a Lanning, Dec. 22—After sixteen days of futile debates, of explaining of votes, of questioning each other's judg­ ment if not integrity, the Legislature adjourned lust Wednesday evening with­ out passing a reapportion me nt bill or any other legislation. Thig result wan predicted by many even before the Legislature convened, ns tho obstacles standing in the way of redi.trieting were so many and so insurmountable. Much legislative lenders as Thomas D. Meggison of Antrim county, speaker pro-tem of the House, declared that it was "a well nigh impossible task to enact a constitutional rcapportionment of the state senatorial and representa­ tive districts under the present constitutioa." Vote Down Everything. Developments during the session proved the truth of thcsivcarly predic­ tions. A bill to rearrange the state senatorial districts to give Wayne seven senators, instead of five as at present, was passed by the Senate, but met de­ feat in tho House, 44 to 51. All ef­ forts to revive this bill proved futile, the 51 standing solid against it. The House took even more unkindly to any proposal to give Wayne any more representatives, and thus reduce the rural representation. A bill to in­ crease the Wayne county delegation in the House from 14 to 21, was defeated 64 to 32. Later this vote was recon­ sidered, but when an opinion was re­ ceived from the Attorney General'stat­ ing that tho bill was plainly unconsti­ tutional in two different respects, even the Detroit members turned against it nnd in went down in defeat 90 to 3. | Over-ride Speaker Welah. , According to the rules of tho House,' a proposition which has once been de­ feated, then reconsidered and again de­ feated, can not be brought up again without a suspension of the rules, which requires a two-thirds vote. Fail­ ing to secure this, the friends of the measure introduced a new bill, which altogether very sijnilar in substance to tho defoatod biH,«wtiil appeared in a new farm, being submitted as an amend mont to the old apportionment lawThe defeated bill had been an attempt to enact all entirely new law on this subject. Tho .peaker ruled that the! new bill was in order because it was in ] a different form then the one defeated,; •-« but an appeal was taken from his de-ir^ cision and the appeal was sustained, 50 to 44. At this point another attempt was made to suspend rules, but the vote stood 49 10^46 against it. - □ Detroit members of tbe Legislature and the Detroit newspapers have been outspoken in their condemnation of the majority ia the House which vatod against the various apportion peat measures which have been brought out on the floor. Former member, welcomed • J~T this new-found interest of the Wnync »-r eounty people in the mraetity of the LI Constitution. Even the Detroit mem tJ MICHIGAN friendly feeling a few weeks ago. Now a majority of the House members seem to feel that he is interested only in getting greater control in the hands of Wayne coonty, and they do not like that. Rep. Floyd Rowe of Hillsdale ex­ pressed pretty nearly the feelings of most of the fanner members, when after reminding the House of the mis­ deeds of the Wayne members and par­ ticularly of their opposition to all tax reform, he said, "I do not wish to be a party to nny move which will allow one county to dictate the affairs of 83 ' counties. I do not believe that that | would be for the best interest, of Wnync county, and I am sure it would be most harmful to the state at large." There nre many of the more conserv­ ative citizens of #Detroit who are in­ clined to feel the same way about it. They arc perfectly satisfied to have their laws made by a Legislature with a liberal representation from the rural districts. Even Governor Groesbeck himself is quoted as saying not long ago that Detroit might far better con ; corn itself with the quality of the mem- j hers which it sends to the Legislature.! rather than howl for an increased quan­ tity. Right or wrong, the Legislature went home leaving things just as they were. They refused to permit the tail tn wag the dog. The special session cost the state considerably over $1,000 for each of tho 16 day* it lasted. BANNER WANT ADV8. PAT. Collector In Hard Luck.

Christmas, originally , Crista masse (the mass or ehureh festival of Christ), is the English name for the season in which the birth of Christ is commemo­ rated. It is a known feet, however, that a festival was*celebrated at this season tong before it was held sacred■ as the birthday of Jesus of Nazareth. The Saturnalia of the Romans and the winter festivities of the heathen Brit­ ons were both celebrated about De­ cember 25th, and later, the Boman fes­ tival, in honor of their famous sun-god. From the latter, the day eame to be know* as the “Birthday of the Uneonquered Son,” and after its adoption by the Christian church in the fourth century as the anniversary of Christ’s birth, this name was given a symbolic interpretation. One of the first cus­ toms of celebrating the Christmas eve was by the lighting of the yuletide log (ia buche de Noel), on the eve of Christmas. From this old French custom, we derive our idea of having a Christmas tree. This idea of the Christmas tree has grown to be a timehonored custom and will probably be forever the same. Santa Claus ia a nam* applied to a fls’.'.tioM person, who is a world-wide gift-giver. The fictitious person, Bt. Nicholas, is a person who has been for­ ever known, and who has always played the pleasant pert of the gift-giver. A nd . so we nee that many, many genera­ tions of people . hav* celebrated this very beautiful day, Christmas. Perhaps a month or so before Christmas of Christmas. “It eame upon the midnight dear, That glorious song of old.

Business meeting was then called, and it was decided that members who are absent from meetings and who wish to be exeussd must hand in their writ­ ten excuse before tho mooting follow­ ing the ono which they missed. After further business, the meeting was ad­ journed for the program. Gordon Clement and Claude Kantner reported on the Older Boys* conference, as delegates from the Hi-Y to that meeting.

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.
