In other parts ofjjio eoun­ ty schools eould be consolidated into smaller than township units to good ad­ vantage. The question of expense is the deter­ ring factor. Because tho matter of pub lie ehueMjon is a vital affair to tho atate, woVccl that it is up to tlx- state to help the rural communities work out this problem of rural education. It ean not bo done by a tax on real estate. It may be done if the state will ndnpt and apply an income tax, which need not be excessive, which would take care of the whole proposition and give tho state what it ought to hav-fr-control in tho matter of public education in selecting tho teacher* and l>e>sg resiarnsibk: for their qualification*, leaving to rural school boerds tho working out of the rural portr of the school program.

The committee ia considering the radio regulation bill presented by RepreMntattve White, Maine Republican. Mr. Hoover recommended passage of the bill as mectfhg "tho present public necessity," declaring the radio public and industrv wqrc in accord with pro visions of the measure. The bill would give the government jurisdiction over all phLcs of radio communication as they relate to inter­ state and foreign commerce and tho aseratary expressed belief "federal supremacy i* absolutely essential if thu.system of communication is to be preaerved and advanced." Government control over licenses and wavs lengths, as now (n effect in the eoptmerec de-partaent, also is provided. Lengths Won’t Go Around. Pointing out that there now are 536 major broadcasting stations in tbe ecus try^dr. Hoove# said there were only 89 wave lengths to be distributed among them, with many of the wave lengths below effective use. . "Satisfactory division- has been a mathematical impossibility," Mr. Hou . ver said. "Only by time division, power limitation, geographical separa­ tion aad other expedients has it been ment now.

C. plant i* rated the flneat thing of Ita kind among American college*. With the enormous increase in the number of motor driven vehicles on city streets and country highways, the subject of Careful Driving becomes more pertinent, day by day. . ' The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) feels that ‘ it has a duty—selT-ijnposed it is true—to So conduct the operations of its own fleets df motor driven vehicles, as to set an example to others. This Company also believes that the public-will be interested in the result of its efforts to promote Careful Driving. . Upon this premise, it will present, during the next few weeks, a few phases of its safety efforts. Perhaps no other organization in the Middle W^est has been afforded such an excellent opportu­ nity to observe the need for Careful Driving as has , this Company. . ’ . .i Several years ago, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), recognizing the need for some construct­ ive, organized effort to prevent avoidable accidents, inaugurated its Safety First Division. The results have been more than gratifying. To , instill caution by legislation is difficult, and * while definite orders, as to care in handling the Company’s business, have been issued, it is our experience that the greatest good has come from those suggestions, stmt out from time to time, which appeal to the sdund judgment and unwavering loyalty of the men handling Company equipment. In support of this contention, we point out that for the year 1924, Standard Oil Company (Indiana) motor driven vehicles crossed railroad tracks thirty one million times without an accident. The Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) pointed out to its drivers the dangers and the lack of consideration for others in careless driv­ ing. It furnished a placard reading: ! OBITUARY.

BANNER WANT ADS PAY—TfcY THEM What Is the Real Meaning of “USED CAR?” Your Car—Your Neighbor’s Car—Every Car that has ever been driven is a * Used Cy-” It’s nothing against a'car because it has been used I No automobile is of much value until it has been "used,” been driven! In fact all good cars have to be ’ driven several thousand miles by one who understands a car before they are really all right to put on the road for tho average driver. A Who Has Driven Your Car ? Here is the gregt secret of a “Used Car”—who has- been the driver? A good, careful xiriver who understands an automobhe can drive a car 50,000 miles in two or three years and do it no harm, wftile another’driver can drive 1,000 miles in three months and "knock off” half the values of the car. Therefor© , It Is the Kind of a Driver a Car Has Had—the Kind of Use a Car Has Received That Determines Its Value , We are here offering a few Good "Used Cars” and are pleased to recommend them to you. We are telling you in each instance who tho driver was and you will realize at once that theee ARE GOOD CARS because the drivers have all tak<?n good care of them.

When may we give you information on this important subject? s MichiganTrust COMPANY GRAND RAPIDS The first Trust Company in Michigan How Indnstpr Can Reduce Accidents “Auto death list nears 800—94 more than last year’s toll"—is the headline of a Chicago daily. City ordinances and traffic regulations have not succeeded in reducing the number of acci­ dents. Why? The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) be­ lieves th? right state of mind toward driving The driver of an automobile must consider human life more important than any business urgency. He must 'realize that a few minutes of time gained may mean death, and that a life can never be restored. A moment’s care­ lessness and a little child is crushed beneath the wheels. A reckless risk and an old man is knocked down, never to walk again. The driver of an automobile must feel the weight of his responsibility. He must be willing to take the time and the extra precautions needed to play safe at any cost. This necessary state of mind cannot be com­ pelled by lawf It can be produced only by an appeal to the intelligence and human sym­ pathy of man for man. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) be­ lieves that this state of mmd can be created, to a large extent, among drivers of other vehicles. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has inaugurated a system of traffic and safety rules, which all drivers of Company owned trucks or cars are required to observe. These regulations apply to every employe of the Company and every driver is asked to pledge himself to observe them.

Claim B nry ■■an non the Nashville News ofgJanuary 21 he would reach the eoncluflon that the peo­ ple, nnd especially tho merchants of this city, do not eare and have no interest in giving the people of Baltimore, Mnpl* Grove, Johnstown nnd Assyria a ileccnt road over which they ean reach Hastings or Nashville. However, this is far from the truth. Individual merchants and people of this eity did show nn interest in this rosd and did urge it* early completion. Tho supervisors at their rceent session did not feel that they could construct this road because it would actually be con­ structed during the terms of their anecesaora in office. Furthermore, and we believe our Nashville contemporary will agree with them, the members of the board felt that their own committee on roads and bridge* nnd the members of th* Barry County Rond CommiMioa ought to get together nnd agree on a road program that eould l»e carried out during the next three or five Tears. The superviaors were entirely willing to ad­ mit that the road from Laeey northeast­ ward to connect with M 79 near Quimby wan one of the earliest ones that should be constructed in this county. But they felt it was n matter fur their successors, who will no doubt be enlhM together in April, nad they felt that even their suc­ cessors ought to have the liencflt of an outlined program, drawn up hy th* road commissioners and the supervisors' committeo cm road* nnd bridges. Henee they did not vote on the proposition at the recent session.. We ean aiwure our Nashville con­ temporary that not only th* BANNER, but the n|erchants of this city, will very gladly cooperate with the New* nml the business men of Nashville and the peo­ ple of tho four townships mentioned in urging the early completion of this road and that it should be the first to be con­ structed under any road program that mny be adopted for thia county.

They know its new smoothness, new stamina, new swiftness of acceleration. They know that in performance it completely dwarfs every Chevrolet achievement of the past and that it ranks as the finest Chevrolet in Chevrolet history. And if you are one who has not yet been behind the wheel, you have more than a treat in store. You have yet to experi­ ence a type of performance never before offered in any low priced car. A performance so effortless, so smooth, so powerful, so spirited and thrilling in every phase, that you will call it nothing short of a revelation! Chevrolet’s leadership has been based on giving quality at low cost. Now the Improved Chevrolet gives another reason for an even wider margin of leadership—performance the equal of which has heretofore been unattainable in the low-price field. True, the Improved Chevrolet is easier-riding. True, there is striking beauty in the New Duco finishes. True, Chevrolet prices are lower. But the one great and outstanding reason why you and every other motorist should drive this splendid car, is to experience the matchless performance it now introduces. Drive where you will —and as long as you like, through traffic, through sand, through mud, over hills — and over mountains, if you please. Expect something really new, really worthwhile, something really unique — and you will not be disappointed.

It has said: "If you expect other people to drive carefully when those who are near and dear to you are crossing the streets, do your part, by having your car under absolute control at all times. "Pedestrianscrossing the streets may stop directly in front of your car. Reftiember at all times that a human life cannot be restored and having had the right-of-way is no consolation in the event of a tragic contingency.” Thfi Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has pointed out to its men that it is unsafe to turn comers faster than six miles per hour. It may seem slow, but it is safe. At this rate of speed you are prepared to stop if someone’s little child is playing in the street just around the corner. They are told never to take an unnecessary chance in crossing street car or railroad tracks at a speed faster than six miles per hour. It is true that all Standard Oil Company (Indiana) -vehicles come to a stop at railroad crossings, but .even then they proceed with extreme caution. Nowadays, with our dty streets and highways alive with automobiles, it is dangerous to dodge around other cars, and it is inviting an accident to follow the preceding vehicle too closely. Always give an erratic driver a wide berth. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has made these suggestions persistently and with consistent frequency. In addition it has made it mandatory on all drivers of Company vehicles to observe all local traffic laws. The result of this Safety First work has cut down the number of accidents to a surprising minimum. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) drivers go more than half way to maintain safety on the streets— they exercise more than ordinary care—they use extraordinary care; they do not presume upon their traffic rights, their first thought is always safety— and for all. K This Company’s drivers Jihve pledged themselves to observe the written and the unwritten traffic laws —in spirit as well as in letter. Their willingness, loyalty and sound judgment in matters of driving are typical and indicative of tha spirit prevailing throughout this organization of 28,059 men and women. It is this remarkable spirit which enables this Company to render such a constructive service to the thirty million people of the Middle West.

DISCUSSED THE CRIME SITUATION IN MICHIGAN Senator Howard Baxter of Grand Rapids, Was Rotary Speaker Monday Noon hand rd on t thia Au Interesting discussion of the crime situation in this state was given before the Ilotnry Club nt their Monday noon luncheon by! Senator Howard Baxter of Grand Rnpirl*. Senator Baxter (list produced statis­ tics which evidenced the tremendous fivn year* particularly, also for tho last 20 year*, although the outstanding increruM- wns made in the recent half dec­ ade. He contrasted crime condition* in this country with those existing in Eng­ land nnd Wnlea. He showed from sta­ tistics that in the eity of Chicago alone wi(j» 3,000,000 people thare wore three times ns many homicides in the year 1924 ns there we$c among the 38,000,000 inhabitants of England nnd Wales. Philadelphia is usually referred to ns a staid eity, nnd yet in the city of Philadelphia, where about 2,500,000 peo­ ple Hv», there were three times ns many murders ns there were in, tho Dominion of Canada, with 10,000,000 people, for 100,000 of the. population was but onethird as many as in the* United State*. That tho type of government hn* nothing to do with this crime increase land, which Is a republic like our own, the number of murders per each thou­ sand of population is about twenty-five times smaller than in the United fit a to*. Senator Baxter then discussed what coulil bo done to meet thia situation. Education could do something, without Ruesticn. Eugenics, especially tho starization of those who have a seeming­ ly irresistible tendency toward erime, is another step toward crime preven­ tion. Increaser! co-operation on the part of law-enforcing officers in various coun­ ties and with the state constabulary Is another remedy suggested. Moro dras­ tic punishment for certain type* of crimes of violence is still another. out of punishment that fita'tho enormity of tho crime is still another step, he urged. Especially did bo dwell upon the need of putting an end to the need­ less and vicious delays in the trial and prosecution of criminals in this country. It waa a most informing qddress and was listened to with the closest of at­ tention by the Rotarians. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ARE PLANNING LADIES' NIGHT ADMITS HE BURNED C.

Yes, I’ll build me a house, build a house of my own, And of logs or of lumber, of brick or of stone, For I want m» a house, be it plaster or pine, And it doesn t much matter, as long as it’s mine. I’ll build me a house—well, perhaps on a hill, Or below in a hollow, If heaven so will, But I’ll build me a house, on the highlands or .low, For the wife and the kids and a chicken or so. Oh, I'll build me a house, for a lean’s not a man Who some sort of way can not figure or plan To build him a house, be it mighty or small, For the size of the house doesn’t matter at all. I’ll build me a bouse, I'm determined on that; I’m tired of your tenement, rick of your flat, I’ll build me a house, and it mayn't be grand, But I'll own the gateway and 1*11 own the land. I'll build me a house, for a bird builds a nest, And a dog has a place he can hide from the rest. There is some sort of a hole that is home to a mouse, And I may be poor—but I’ll build me a house! „ —American Lumberman.

Qii wa, a ffW hundred dollars. m 3.000 to 6,000 feet deep and xt to “bring in” oil. What will it cost in HB0? Twenty-two per cent of all the oil wells drilled in 1920 were dry—twenty-live per cent of all the oil well* drilled in 1925 were dry. What will be the percentage in 1930? In the past twelve and a half years, dry wells cost approximately $7IW<i0.«i0 and in the same period pro­ ducing well* which tailed to return enough oil to pay they cost sustained an aggregate loss of another $500,000,000. Wherein do these losses affect the price of gasoline. They have an intimate bearing, because they must be absorbed by the industry and be spread over the pro<*UCtBut^hey supply only part of the answer to the fluc­ tuating price of gasoline. There arc scores of otlier harard* and factors over which no man or group of men have any control which must be comiderca. . A few years ago the nation was confronted with what appeared to be an unavoidable shortage <if gawdine. Then the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by reason of commercially successful cracking processes, which it had developed, raved the situation. This Company was able to double the yield of gasoline from a barrel of crude. , ,, Without Standard Oil Company (Indiana) cracking processes it is conservative to state that you would lie paying a corresponding double price for gasoline today., That was constructive servxce of inestimable value. But what about tomorrow? Who knows? For th* w««k enCln* Jtaaary I*. >♦»- <h« *■<>* svreoj* crodnellon el eU In lh* Unhed Stetr* wee , If these decreases continue, the age-old law of supply and demand can be expected to exert itself and the price of crude oil will advance. If history repeats itself, the price of gasoline and other petroleum products can be expected to advance, unless other factors intervene. It is with these problems that the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) must grapple, that you may have an un­ fading supply of gasoline, when and where you want it. at the most reasonable price at which it is possible to supply it. As long ns the world goes on. economic conditions will change and the price of gasoline probably will fluc­ tuate. but tbe Standard Oil Company (Indiana) with its research and business foresight ha* done much to stabilire and keep the price down. Whether the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) will be as successful in inventing ways and means to combat the aprices of nature in the future I* to be seen. . But when economic laws thrust themselves into the situation and cause fluctuation* in gasoline prices, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) asks the people of the Middle West to consider the myriad factors having a bearing and known only to those tn daily intimate touch with the oil industry. It asks them to appreciate that thi* Comjiany is con­ stantly exerting all its energies to supply gasoline at a price which will reflect only the cost of crude oil. manufac­ turing and distribution, plus a small and reasonable profit.

The man who earns the money is certainly entitled to at least ten per cent of his own salary. We believe many people are anxious to “get ahead” and have some of their “Pay Day Check” left, but, are just unable to do so. It may be they don’t just know how to even up their expenditures and make their living fit their income. Now that’s part of the Service we hope to render this com­ munity—is to help those who need help. Ask for Our Booklet, “Daily Divi­ dends and How to Get Them.” It tells you how to find the margin of your own salary that brings you prosperity.

COUCH, Auctioneer. . �THU HASTINGS BANNHB.WBDNWDAY, FEBRUARY IT, ISM Good Roads CHIGAN is one of the states that has made the greatest progress by the extension of its good roads. Its industrial importance has greatly fortified by the development of a system of internal com­ munication. It can still advance under a careful and judicious extension of this program. With the passing of transportation from the mud age to the hard road age there are indications that we are experiencing in die United States an industrial revolution as important in its effect as was that which marked the introduction of the macadam road and die steam railroad in England. This is evinced in the expansion of our national income. For instance, the wealth of our nation—investment on our plant—in 1912 was 186 billions of dollars while our national income—the annual . turn-over was 30 billions of dollars. The wealth of die nation in 1922 was 321 billions of dollars, and our national income over 80 billions. It took a six-dollar investment to make a dollar in 1912. . It took only a fourdollar investment to make a dollar in 1922. An increase in efficiency of 33 per cent, tn a decade. ' f HE utility of the railroad, as a freight carrier, has been increased many times through the complementary agency of the good roads system. The traffic in the old days could only be drawn from about right mile* on either side of the right-of-way of a railroad. Now, the railroad's range of activity is five to six times greater. True, these new transportation agencies present some problems that embarrass at times, but better transportation in whatever form it may be, operates to the T The railroads do ask for reciprocal regulation. Michigan is in die vanguard as an industrial state. Let us retain that position. The Michigan Railroad Association approves the state's proposed program for more good roads because it will yield a large return on themvestment. MICHIGAN RAILROAD ASSOCIATION . ‘ L BANNER WANT ADS.

Detroit . • - - - Supremacy Maintained through Features which Established Ford Leadership Left-Hand Drive— Multiple Disc-in-oil Clutch— Left-hand drive was originally introduced by Henry Ford on the Model T car in 1908. It caused a mild sensation in the motoring world, accustomed to nothing but right-hand drive and control—a feature adopted from abroad where the rules of the road are to drive to the left. The advantages of left-hand drive seemed so obviously better for the driving require­ ments of this country that the change was made. What has followed since in the industry, is a matter of common knowledge. The multiple disc cluUh is generally conceded among engineers to be the best, the smoothest, and the most reliable type for any car. The Ford multiple disc clutch, has the further advan­ tage of operating in a bath of oil. This complete and continuous lubrication assures smooth, silent action and extremely long life. The Ford clutch is so simple and reliable that many Ford owners have driven for years without being so much as conscious of its presence in the mechanism of their cars. . . . Three Point Motor Suspension— This type of construction was first used by Henry Ford in 1903, and has been a feature of the Model T power plant for eighteen years. The two rear supporting brackets of the engine are fastened to the frame, while the front bearing or trunnion, is designed to allow sufficient movement to compensate for any twisting of the frame caused by road irregularities, thus pro­ tecting both the crankcase and crankshaft from distortion, and minimizing the possibility of repairs due to misalignment of engine bearings. The three-^roint principle is used throughout the car, including front and rear axles. Dual Ignition System— Dual ignition is provided for Ford cars, (1) the Ford magneto and (2) the generator and stor­ age battery. This has bpen a great factor in establishing the Ford reputation for reliability. Even in remote sections where there is no battery service, the Ford owner may use his car with­ out interruption—the magneto making him independent of battery current Elimination of the piagneto would reduce Ford production costs—but again Ford standards specify the ad­ ditional value. • • z Planetary Transmission— This type of transmission was used in the Ford six-cylinder car built in 1907. It was so suc­ cessful that it was adopted for thc Modcl T car. The Ford planetary transmission is the ideal speed control for a light car. It gives complete control through foot pedals and leaves the driver’s hands free to manipulate the steering wheel. Since the gears are constantly in mesh, there is no possibility of clashing; speed changes are made instantly and noiselessly. This transmission costs more to build than the conventional sliding gear type but is used because of its superiority. , Thermo-Syphon Cooling System— The circulation of water in Ford cars is entirely governed by engine temperature—(he flow starting as the motor warms, and being most rapid at the points of greatest heat. On cold mornings the Ford engine warms up quickly, because the water does not circulate, from the cylinder block until it becomes heated. In hot weather, too, the Ford cooling system is equally efficient, for the capacity of the radiator is unusually large in proportion to the heat­ ing surface of the cylinders. Since there is no water pump requiring frequent need for pack­ ing, the Ford cooling system ts exceedingly simple and always efficient. Simple, Dependable Lubrication— . The Ford lubricating system is the simplest used on any automobile. The oil in the flywheel chamber is splashed over the clutch and all transmission gears by the movement of the fly­ wheel. Some of this oil finds its way through a tube to the timing gears at tho front of the mo­ tor and thoroughly lubricates them. Returning along the base of the motor to the flywheel chamber, it is picked up by the connecting rods which turn this oil into a spray that lubricates the camshaft, pistons and all other moving parts. Torque Tube Drive— ’ z Henry Ford originated the Torque Tube in 1908. It is simply a heavy tube that surrounds the drive shaft which transmits the power from the motor to the rear wheels. The driving push is carried by this tube from the rear axle to a point forward on the chassis. By use of this con­ struction the rear spring does not take any of the driving thrust and is free to act solely as • flexible support for the car body. “Ford has never lowered the quality of the car to reduce the price” . . y°u d.on t want to be disappointed in having a new car when spring / driving begins, you must place your order now. Ford cars are taken as fast as the big Ford plant can turn them out. ’ We have a large number of orders on hand and will be able to deliver only our monthly quota of cars when the warm spring days come. Order now and be sure of having a car when you want it to drive.

The story of oil heating of homes is a hard one to tell. Oil heat was bom of necessity. During the past 10 years coal has doubled in price. Coal is always dirty. Coal furnishes irregular heat. ,, Today Winter holds no dread for Thousands and Thousands of Automatic Oil Heated HomesJ After carefully considering several different auto­ made oil heating systems we selected as the one we conaider the most desirable— Look for These Five Things 10 Reasons Why You Should Buy Kleen-Heet: when you contider an oil-burner 1 2 Simplicity of Mechanhm—Kleen-Heet has fewer parts than any other automatic oil-burner on the market. Noth­ ing complicated to go wrong and cause annoyance. Wom­ en particularly appreciate this point Kleen-Heet is en­ tirely automatic. Installation and Service—We are equipped to render the 100% service we guarantee our users at all times.-'You are doing business with a carefully selected distributor er a direct factory branch. . ' , 4 The Right Burner for You—Kleen-Heet builds the wid­ est range of burners in the market Thus we have the ex­ act type needed for your requirements. You do not get the “nearest thing we've got" to what you need. You get the exact installation adapted to your house. t Kleen-Heet is absolutely automatic. It requires no attention what­ ever. No matter when you wake in the morning—or when you come home at night—the house is always warm, in cold weather. The thermostat insures this steady temperature—through all changes of weather. Thus a Kleen-Heet home ia a comfortable home—24 hours a day, every day. The temperature does not vary one degree over or un­ der the warmth you desire, all winter. . Proved Performance—Kleen-Heet is not a theoretical type of burner being tested out at the expense of people who buy them. Kleen-Heet has proved ita performance with thousands of users, under all conditions of use and weather. 3 The Company Behind It—The Company behind KleenHeet Is one of the oldest in the oil-burning industry. Sol­ id, dependable, experienced, strongly financed. By eliminating coal and coal bins in the basement, Kleen-Heet juv valuable room that can be used for almost any purpose—a bi. clean laundry where clothes can be dried; a neat, healthy pla; room for the children; a comfortable den, a billiard room, gymna ium; a clean work shop, a dance fioor. The KLEEN-HEET AUTOMATIC OIL-BURNER eliminates the la­ bor and bother you have with coal. 4 Any physician will tell you that the, even warmth which Kleen-. Heet' gives is the first requisite to good health. Heat from a coal fire ia amazingly irregular—frequently overheating or chilling the home—causing colds, and ill health. One of the advantages of Kleen-Heet is that it gives absolutely CLEAN, SOOTLESS, heat The interior of your home—walls, fur­ niture, curtains—are not soiled with coal dirt aa with co^ Area. Thia also means a healthier home, and money saved on unnecessary house cleaning. The cost of fuel for Kleen-Heet in the average home throughoi the season is usually a little less than the costr of hard coal. Whi you add to this the savings Kleen-Heet brings in cleaner's and da orator’s bills, your time in tending and laboring with coal fires, is the most economical utility in your household. 8 9 In coal-heated houses there is always the question of coal supplywhich depends upon coal shortages, coal strikes. And uncertad heat due to the doubtful quality of this coal. Compare and test any other oil-burner with Kleen-Heet and jrt will find that this is the quietest plant yet developed—mainly b cause of its extreme simplieity. It has only one moving part: ti electric motor pump-fan unit. 1A This simplicity has been carried so far in tho Kleen-Heet 1V Oil-Burner that its dependability—year after year—i tioned. Kleen-Heet is GUARANTEED to heat your home propi GUARANTEED to give boiler or furnace temperature coal fires. And it is GUARANTEED for twelve months I perfect materials or assemblage. GOODYEAR BROS.

The sun has again been to its lowest point and while we still have snug winter weather it will not be long before every farmer will be expecting ■spring time which means sowing time. v With knowledge of the fact that sowing time is approaching you no :doubt have pondered and studied on the question of What Crops To Raise In the Season 1926 ! As a rule, your main item in crops is the revenue you receive for raising. In determining this revenue you consider three things: The possibilities,of * yield per acre selling price and market at harvesting time. In this connection we are glad to advise the farmers of Barry and adjoin­ ing counties, that we are again ready to present you with a proposition which we ask that you consider in making your plans on what to raise dur­ ing I 926. We now have stations or receiving points which assure you of a market, at the followirig places:—Hastings, Nashville, Freeport, Delton, Woodland, Alto, Dowling, Cressey, Hickory Corners, Kalamo, Lacey and Sunfield—where you can,take your product and receive the cash on delivery on ^guaranteed price, with seed furnished Free. . * This solves the two ptp6blems mentioned above, your selling price and market. As to the yield per acre, this denends largely on the following: Mainly, . the nature of the soil, manner of cultivation to conserve moisture anC| kill weeds, the amount of plant food in the soil to grow good, healthy plants that will grow quick, which will be more apt to throw off disease and pro­ duce more abundantly in the twelve weeks in which you grow and harvest the pickle crop. In brief, by securing a pickle coptract you have a guaran­ teed price, a guaranteed market, with seed furnished tree and a. twelve weeks’ crop with cash on delivery. Our prices are the same as last seasoh. To give you some of the possi­ bilities:— . • | -. . ~ We paid Robert Mackinder, Hastings, R. 4, over $290 on one acre. Lyle Nottingham, Doster, R. 2, over $200 on one acre. Wm. Willison, Delton, R. 2, $135 on 1-2 acre, Elmer Eckert, Freeport, R. 1, $1,800 on 12 acres. Our interest is mutual, and we will do everything in our power to co-op­ erate for success.

Let's base our case on statistic* published by the United States Department of Labor in the Monthly Labor Re­ view. dealing with the average retail price of food products in various cities during the period referred to. We use 1913—tiie last year of normal, pre-war prices— as a basis for comparison with the latter part of 1925. We select milk as a typical staple commodity and Chicago as a representative city of the Middle West dfeSedkrBUICK. On November 15.1913. the average retail price of fresh milk, in Chicago, was 32cpcr gallon, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Clncagp tank wagon price for gasoline was l lj$c per gallon.

' Stated another way—during this twelve year period, tjie price of milk lias increased 75%, while gasoline in­ creased but 10.3%. The price asked for milk i' in line with the price of commodities generally, but the fact remains that, by comparison, the price of gatoli ne is very low. 1 This is more remarkable when it is known that the con­ sumption of gasoline increased more than 500%. while the production of crude, fiOm which gasoline is made, in­ creased only 190% during the period, while the average price of crude advanced from $.9138 to $1.80078 per bbl. bern abaent since the holiday* have to­ t arsed.

(For comparative purposes we select Chicago aa a representative city of the Middle West) Thus it fe shown that in 1913 one bushel of com would buy 4.05 gallons of gasoline. The average farm price for com, during the year 1925, was $1,019 p<^r bushel. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) aver­ age Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was $.17276 per gallon. Thus it is shown that in 1925 one bushel of com would buy 5.89 gallons of gasoline, or 45.4% more than in 1913. . This fact speaks volumes for Standard Oil’ Company (Indiana) success in keeping down the price of gaaoline, In the face of a constantly increasing demand. . This accomplishment involved the develop­ ment of cracking processes which doubled the yield of gasoline from a given quantity of crude oil. It is not too much to say that, when, a few years ago, this nation faced a shortage of gaso­ line that these processes saved the situation. Without them the price of gasoline probably would have been double what it is today. After developing these processes, the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) did not keep them for its exclusive uee. It leased them to com­ petitors, that they also might do their bit in conserving an essential basic resource. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) be­ lieves that the farmer, particularly, appreciates it* success and its persistent effort to keep the price of gasoline) low. Gasoline is essential to the business of farm­ ing. Without it, modem farm practice would be impossible and much of our up-todate farm equipment would^e useless. Without it, labor costs would advance enormously: crops would be jeopardized and tlie nation suffer. Low price gasoline means cheap power and greater prosperity f?r the farmer. When the farmer prospers—we all prosper. Standard Oil Company (Mona) amend Office! *«u*«rS OU Mllag 910 So. Michigan Avanaa, ChlcaSo �THE HABTINGB BANNER. WEDNBSDAY.

Recent improve­ ments include new and at­ tractive body lines — a lower center of gravity—closed cars in colof, and all-steel bodies. The basic features of Ford design have been retained. Three point motor suspen­ sion, planetary transmission, dual ignition system, torque tube drive, multiple disc-lnoll clutch, splash lubrication, thermo-syphon cooling sys­ tem—all nave been features of the Ford car for eighteen yeara. On the whole theae features coat far more to manufacture than conven­ tional design but are used be­ cause of their superiority. The Ford Motor Company has carried out a program of price reduction that has con­ sistently kept Ford value su­ preme in the automotive in­ dustry. Thia has been made possible by the enormity of Ford production. With lesser resources, Fordquality would not be possible at anywhere near Ford prices. The tremendous demand for Ford closed cars has again made possible substantial price reductions.

Wo doubt if there I* h touch with the producer* of LITTLE squeak here — another squeak there. The motor is talking to you. It is * serious language if you only understand it What’s the matter? It needs ofl. Oil is an important matter. It serves two most necessary purposes in every car—it prevents wear between the fast moving parts of the engine, it seals compression, preventing the escape of power. An inferior oil, or an oil. not perfectly adapted to your engine cannot perform these services effectively. It becomes old and dirty,—with grave results. * Oil is vital to the engine. If the engine is forced to circulate an old, dirty oil, laden with particles of abrasive grit, it gives righteous squeaks of protest. ' Dirty oil does not make a good piston seal and thd power generated by the engine escapes. When the oil is old and dirty, moving sur­ faces are no longer protected, metal rubs against metal, and friction begins to eat away the vital parts of the motor itself. -Then squeak, squeak, says the engine ominously. When this happens, heed the warning! Go to a Standard Oil Service Station or Authorized Garage. Consult the chart prepared by the Standard Oil staff of lubricating engineers. \ They have diagnosed accurately the oil needs of your individual car. Have the old, dirty oil drained out of the crank­ case, cleanse your motor thoroughly with Polarine Flushing Oil, and have the correct grade of Polarine put in. Then, you will sense the joy of a motor in perfect condition, flexible, . responding instantly to the slightest touch because friction has been removed by Polarine and all the potential power of the engine is ready' in reserve. f I .

Hutitft, Miclufu 2Z26 "Where Spending is Always Saving” TIKES -:■ ACCESSORIES j- BATTERIES RADIO Gasoline and Wheat No other two commodities have a more in­ timate bearing on the affairs of man than gaso­ line and wheat. A brief study of their price relationship will prove interesting. The Monthly Crop and Market Bulletin of the United States Department of Agriculture allows us that the average farm price for wheat • in 1913 was $.784 per bushel. During the same year, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) average Chicago tank wagon price tyr gasoline was $.14837. . These figures show that in 1913 one bushel of wheat would buy 5.28 gallons of gasoline. In 1925, the average farm price for wheat was $1.50118 per bushel. And, Standard Oil Company (Indiana) aver­ age Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was $.17276 per gallon. Which, expressed in terms of commodity, means that ih 1926 one bushel of wheat would buy 8.69 gallons of gasoline—or 64% more than it would purchase in 1913. In other words, while the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) average Chicago tank,wagon price for gasoline advanced 16.4% in’twelve years, the average farm price for wheat in-' creased 91%. Factors which no man can control enter into the business of supplying the nation with food and with gasoline. Inclement weather can ruin crops and in­ fluence prices. A dry well can waste enormous sums of money, which the petroleum industry must absorb. The flow of crude, like the yield of wheat, fluctuates with conditions nature sets and which no man can control. Yet tlie farnfer and the oil man are able, within certain limits, to overcome these op­ posing forces. ** Irrigation and "dry” farming have increased । enormously the yield ofgrain iri many localities. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), by developing its famous cracking processes, has been able to double the yield of gasoline from a barrel of crude. The farmer and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have had to meet increasing costs of production. Tho price of everything has gor® up during the last twelve yearn. The fact" that the price of gasoline has ad­ vanced less than that of almost any other basic commodity is a tribute to intensive specializa­ tion in a highly organized industiy. The net result of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) efficiency in keepipg down costs and selling prices, is reflected accurately in the affair* of every man. woman and child in the ten Middle Western states served by this Company.

From the standpoint of effort the tractor owner has an easy time compared with the other fellow. He does not have to , crack the whip over tired and weary horses. He has no chores to do. He has full power and full efficiency at his command at all times, regardless of heat and dust and flies. His tractor and tools may be made to work through twenty-four hours a day, if the season demands such extra speed, with utrpost efficiency. Remember your earnings come from what you actually do and not from the amount of time you spend plodding behind un­ wieldy teams. Hired labor costs you the same for inefficient outfits as for money-making tractor outfits. The difference shoyvs up in your profits at tl?e end of the year. That is one important reason why so many farmers are discarding their ungainly, inefficient teams and adopting McCormick-Deering tractors antjl £ower farming equipment. McCormick-Deering tractors and, machines are built lo work together. You can choose your machines and plan your work so as to keep your tractor busy practically every day, accom­ plishing from two to four times as much ^s is possible with •• horse-drawn tools. .

A collision Take one look at this photograph. It is not pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any sensible man that all steel construc­ tion is the only safe construction for a motor car body. That is why Dodge Brothers introduced the all steel body more than eleven years ago, and this year greatly improved and perfected it. In fact. Dodge Brothers are convinced that the day is not far off when wooden motor car bodies will be a curiosity. People will shudder at the thought of having ridden in them and will thank Dodge Brothers for the greater safety, durability—and beauty, too—of all steel construction. • A steel body will stand up under impacts that would crush the average body to bits. Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot bum. Steel is an armor of protection on the crowded, hurrying highway. Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies ap­ pear to be all steel. In reality, however, o most of them are simply frames of wood covered by a metal shell. Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies are steel through’ and through—steel rein­ forced by steel —buttressed and braced by steel—even the frames and running boards are steel. And slender, stronger steel comer posts replace the customary bulky pests of wood, affording full, unhampered driving vision on all sides—a safety feature of the first importance! Travel in safety! Powerful, quick-action brakes, a chassis world-famous for its sturdiness, and a body of steel these explain the enviable reputation for safety enjoyed by Dodge Brothers Motor Car —and the enviable feeling of safety en­ joyed by those who drive it. 26 HEAD OF CATTLE 26 Registered Holstein, 8 years old, calf by aide.

John Cook to Dale Cook and wife, 40 a., See. 31, Carlton, 81.00- ENORMOUS BENE­ FITS HAVE RESULTED TO THE COUNTRY We recently read nn article whieh we believe wilj be of interest to our read­ er*,'which said thnt Horace I). Taft. Headmaster of tho famous Taft Schon) for Boys in Connecticut, was originally opjMisrd to prohibition. After consider­ ing the credits and debits in our en­ forcement record Mr. Taft flatly nub scribes to the belief that “enormous c< >d ha* followed tho adoption of pro­ hibition, and enormous benefits for the whole country." There may bo some difference of opinion regoriling his ver­ dict, but there can be nn straight-think. I ing difference of opinion regarding what Mr. Taft further said on the sub­ ject. which we quote: “District change in public sentiment, reasonable ebeervance and enforcement of prohibition are coming In time. We cannot prevent the completion of thia process, but we can shorten or lengthen this unhappy period u we do our duty or refuse u> do it. There are two clear, logical answers to the quer.lon that comes to every citizen. One is: I will obey the law and help enforce it- The ether la: Let the country go to the doga, I am going to hse my liquor. Other answers, no matter how honestly med, are the result of clouded vision and twisted logic.” , W<> believe there eaa l>c no getting around the logic prcrenttsl by Mr. Taft. When a man defies the constitution-of hi* eounty. defies its laws, he is eertninly d&ing the utmost he ean to break down respect for hi* country and it* institutions. Whether he understands it or not, he i* promoting anar*hy. He . is encouraging lawlessness, and we flo not heoitnte to sey that he is in that respect a bad eitizen no matter how good hi* actions may be ia other re­ spect*.

MARCH 34. IMS COURTHOUSE NEWS Simplicity Step on the plunger—Car’s all oiled! XX7ELCOME, twice welcome, is a VV motor car so free from care as the new Cleveland Six I Welcome,a thousand times welcome, is this great car’s “One Shot" Lubrica­ tion System. For it means goodbye and good riddance to all the usual automo­ bile bother and expense of keeping the chassis at all times thoroughly lubri­ cated. Talk about simplicity! With a mere press of your heel on a plunger, “One Shot* lubricates every bearing and bushing in the entire chassis-instantly —almost quicker than you can bet an eye. AU cars must follow suit in adopting a centralized system of chassis lubri­ cation— ar log behind the times. Such higherpriced cars as Marmon,Packard, Chandler and Stutz have already adopt­ CLBVBLAND AUTOMOBILE ed centralized chassis lubrication. Just ask the dealers of other cars to guar­ antee whether or not their next models will be so equipped. See what they say. And talk about power! Cleveland Six has power to talk about. In open com­ petition with other cars, Cleveland Six is capturing a long string of outstanding performance records — particularly in mountain climbing. It steps right up the steepest hills as if the hills lay down to let it pass! Many modem simplicities of engi­ neering make for easier steering, more positive brakes, quicker starting in cold weather, easier gear shifting. In every way you consider it—Cleveland Six is the big thing today in its price class. Just do a little comparing. That’s the simplest and surest way to pick the right car.

" *■ ■ ■* ■ ■■ Some of the Ancient History of the Two-frame Structures on State St., That Have Just Been Hazed. Speaking about the taring down of the two old frame buildings just east of LyBarker's drug store, the small one owned by L. V. Beumct And the larger one owned by Herman Besmnor, the HANNER last week said that anyone who could give any information or his­ tory of these two btiildlht* was urged to do so, and that we would be glad to print It In this paper. We are pleased to hear from Morse E. Nevins of this city, whose father wm tbe Hon. John’M. Nevins, who wu tho publisher of the BANNER for ten years from 1851 to 18M. He was In business here for several years thereafter and at one time represented this county, we believe, in the legislature and wu for cation intercnting. It follows: Oliver Greenfield, writing of Has­ tings in 1M4, statoa that in that year Henry W. Jennings, tho town’s first law­ yer, had his homo and office on the site of the Louis Bcssmer building. Dr. C. 8. Burton, J. G. Nagler and others say the first lawyer in Hastings was Marsh Giddings who came in 1842, but re­ mained only a abort time, removing to Kalamazoo. Judge Loyal E. Kaappen writes: “In 1868 th* Grand River Valley railroad, built from Jackson to Grand Baplds, gave Haitian the first rail connection with tho east and withifi a few months thereafter with Grand Rapids as well. About tho time the railroad reached us, A. J. Bowne, who before had been a successful merchant at Prairieville, re­ moved to Hastings and opened a bank firet bank.of deposit in Mailings. Henry nectioa with his mercantile business and this business was tahea ovsr by Mr. Bowne. Fred N. Galloway was stthe private banking business, whieh was latdr organised into the Hastings National Bank. The writer has no information aa to tho exact date of the building of the Herman Bommer belMing—just rased— but during the Civil war it was known aa the "Rower building,” and at that time had the only publie hall available, aside from tbe court room and churches, no writer was went to often explore the old abandoned “Owl’s Neet” ia the eeveatieo. “Faith, Hope end Char­ ity” waa painted in large letters oa the north end of the domeshaped hall aad soldier swore hia allegiance to hia eoun- for lodge ceremony. Judge Knappen, in one of his writings, mentions tho “Owl’s Nest” in the Rower block. The BANNER of Mat 22, 1856 stated thu “Johnson and Benjamin conduct a meat market in the Rower block un­ Ider the Aekley's store.” Also S. B. Mapes states in his announcement, io 11858 that he has “ located in Hasting* I village for the purpose of carrying on a Watch, Clock aad Jewelry business and Is located in the Aokley store in tho Rower block.” In the^ early seventies Grant and Phillips conducted u gener­ al store In the west part of the Bower block, now being-torn down, nnd J.

When Yon Trade Your CarFord owners are continually be­ ing approached by automobile salesmen who wish to “accept” Fords as part payment on more expensive cars. It is logical that automobile dealers should be eager to trade with Ford owners. No other used car Is so easy to sell as a used Ford—because everyone has confidence in Ford quality. And it Is not expensive to re­ condition, since Ford replace­ ment parts are lowest in price. Most automobiles carry greater discounts *to dealers than the Ford —another reason why other dealers may offer the Ford owner a larger trade-in allow­ ance. But, bear theee fact* in mind: The amount of the trade-in al­ lowance you can get is not the most important thing for you to consider. Tho big thing i« the difference you have to pay. And remember, that the higher priced car will not be ao easy to diapoee of whan you come to trade It in. rif you wUh to trade your Ford for a new automobile, stick to the car that you know to be de­ pendable, useful and economi­ cal. Go to your Ford dealer! He will give you a fair and liber­ al allowance for your present Ford and will gladly arrange payment of the balance to suit your convenience.

The experience of America in every emergency where famine has prevailed has demonstrated beyond any question of doubt that there is no substitute for milk—that it is always a staple food. Where grain raising and general farming have been uncertain and often discouraging, it is well to remember that “ J Dairying Offers Certain and Sure Retumsfor Your Efforts —n Further than this, Dairying takes less from the soil fertility than almost any other line of farm activity. This fact has been proven by competent authority. It’s Pleasing to Have a Fat Pay Check Coming on the 15th of Every Month! They tide over a lean period and keep things going when other sources of income often fail. If properly cared for and looked after in an intelligent manner Good Cows Keep on Giving Milk. BARRY COUNTY IDEAL FOR DAIRYING The soil in this territory is just right for the raising and keeping of good dairy herds at a profit. All the essentials which Nature can provide for suc­ cess in dairying are here. Why not take advantage of them and be enrolled on our list) You have the opportunity of vastly increasing the value of your land by taking up dairying. This company is here to serve you and to aid in getting you started in this great industry which will double the value of your land and add to the general prosperity of this region. \ A farmer recently sold his land in Illinois for $400 per acre and invested at $ 100 per acre in a farm not far from here. He had been a dairy farmer in Illinois, and his first move after getting settled in his new home was to get into the market for a herd of dairy cows, stating that he would bring his product to our factory. . f » That man knows the value of dairying to the farmer, and has prospered at it. He is prospering here, in the same old line. Follow his example and prosper. . If you need assistance tc get started in dairying come in and talk® oval with us. We are here to help.

Tho fear of what he may do or refuse to do, because uf his po­ sition, has made him very powerful. We do not know what the democrats uiay do in Michigan, but if Orocsbeek •hall be renominated by the republi­ cans it is hopeful thnt the democrat* will be wise enough to put up one of their strongest men, n man like Edwin Kwnet of Grand Bapids, so that people who wquM- like to retain representative government in Michigan will have a Fashions that are interesting, authentic and, of course, in good taste.

Official car registration figures for 1925, just published, show Hudson-Essex sales in Grand Rapids and Kent county leading by a wide margin every other make of car except the lowest priced four-cylinder car on the market Month after month throughout the year 1925 Hudson-Essex sales swept on ahead of all competition. Following are the figures from the Secretary of State’s office for the six largest selling makes of cars in Grand Rapids and Kent county next to Hudson-Essex. These figures show clearly the overwhelming public preference for Hudson-Essex. HUDSON-ESSEX SALES WERE: 32.94% more than the second lowest priced four-cylinder car on the market. 83.44% more than a popular priced six-cylinder make. 11 9.40% more than a well known four and six-cylinder make. 164.63% more than the largest selling medium priced four-cylinder make. 254.23% more than the second choice four and six-cylinder make. 292.36% more than two popular priced sixes combined. Never before in the history of the Automobile industry have motorists generally ex­ pressed so strong a preference for any other make of car. \ Never before in any community has any other make of car been so signally honored by public preference as was the case with Hudson-Essex in Grand Rapids and Kent county dur­ ing 1925. And during 1926 the record for Hudson-Essex in this county promises to far eclipse the marvelous 1925 figures. Hudson-Essex cars are now $50 lower and delivered “At Your Door.” , Don’t be misled by F. 0. B. Factory or List prices. TO SUCH PRICES MUST BE AD­ DED freight, tax, handling and sundry other charges which greatly increase the actual cost Hudson-Essex prices were made lower than all comparable cars by increased factory production and economies. The “A. Y. D.” price eliminates numerous costs that buyers have had to pay. They save from $25 to $50 on every car in this item alone. HASTINGS HUDSON-ESSEX CO. BOB KENYON, Prop.

If any other manufacturer endeavored to produce a car similar to the Ford according to the high standards of qual­ ity in material and workmanship used by the Ford Motor Company and with the same tried and proven design, it would be impossible to offer it at anything like the pres­ ent low Ford prices. If, on the other hand, the Ford Motor Company would sub­ stitute ordinary design for the basic Ford features, Ford cars could be produced and sold for less than the present Ford prices. Yet by so doing, Ford simplicity, durability and reliability would fall below the standard insisted upon by the Ford Motor Company and established throughout twenty-two years of leadership. Just think! 13,000,000 model T Ford cars have been produced since 1908—almost as many automobiles as were built by all other manufacturers combined. In 1925, almost 2,000,000 Ford cars and trucks were built and sold—and plans for 1926 call for the production of even more than 2,000,000. Today, more than ever, the Ford car is the most popular automobile in the world. It was the superiority of Ford design in 1908 that estab­ lished Ford leadership. It is this same Ford design, im­ proved but basically unchanged, that is continuing to make the Ford car the outstanding leader among all auto­ mobiles.

I’ve never experienced such quick pick-up and get-away in any car. Getting up to 45 miles an hour on second and being jable to stop in a few feet with your four-wheel brakes, a low hung body that allows you to make quick turns and an ease of control that seems uncanny makes your car ideal. —FRED Z. PANTLIND, The Pantlind Hotel. If every car wm as easy to control under all speeds, if they all could be started as quickly and brought To stops as suddenly; if they responded to the wheel aa readily and if they were built as strongly as this WillysKnight of yofirs, motoring would lose a big per cent of its dangers.

Your engine is so quiet I’d be afraid that I would go away and forget to turn the switch, yet it is a fine thing to be able to converse in ordinary tones even when the car is running at high speed.

I wish they built taxis like this Willys-Knight 70 of yours. I put her up on the track and got a look down where all the strain conies. I really don’t see why they built it so strong.

Mr. England said that he used "Old Hiekory Smoked Salt," wkich con­ tained the directions for preparing a ham so that it would become a really "smoked ham." Thi* wilt contained the smoke qualities that are imparted to the ham. The package contains di­ rection* for making a pieklo from thi* salt. The ham ia placed in thi* for the same length of time n* for Halting any. other kind of meat. After that it I* taken out, nnd for the time specified in the directions is soaked in fresh water, then- hung up to dry. After it is dried out tbon-ughly 1t hns the same brown color and same unoked appearance a* the ot.linary ha nr. Mr. England said that hi* family, a* well n* himself, were agreed Hint they hnd never eaten ham of finer flavor than that which had been prepared in the manner indicated. We thought our readers might be interested in Mr. Eng­ land’s *tory, because he said it had saved him a great deal of labor in the curing of the meat.

That weald have to lie attend­ ed to by the Commercial Club and the volunteer work of ritizons of Hastings. Without any kind of question tho latter will do their duty nnd meet their responsibilities, if there is some tan­ gible and meritorious proposition pre­ sented to them.

Said to Follow Use of This Control Method That more harm than good will HIS was the first Trust company or­ ganized in Michigan Being a corporation, it never dies and always is in its office. — Its complete organisation enables it to give the best possible service to large and small estates at minimum cost. Its officers and department heads have had many years' experience. It is not susceptible to illness, death or change of residence, as is an individual. Property such as real estate, mort­ gages, bonds, stocks or business under­ taking immediately is distributed in its various departments, and placed in the charge of experts. Being a corporation, this company is impersonal and is not influenced by family disagreements. The intricate task and worry of the ad­ ministration of an estate would be a bur­ den to impose upon your wife, child or friend. This company will not resign or refuse to act because of a caprice or simple re­ quest of the person to be protected, but can be depended upon to see that your wishes and instructions are carried out to the letter. It gives the same careful attention to a small estate that it does to a large one. It renders regular reports of all Trusts to the beneficiaries and also to the Court having jurisdiction. Its system of* accounting is simple, ac­ curate and complete. Many Trust com­ panies have endeavored to copy it. > This company is equipped to handle es­ tates and properties in any County in advantage in handling estates having pro­ perty outside of Michigan. It keeps the property of each estate en­ tirely separate and distinct from its own assets and from the assets and property of every other estate. - - It confines its energies and efforts to doing a Trust business. It is not a bank and does not do a com­ mercial nor savings bank business. Its experts personally investigate all investments made by it of Trust funds. . It has a ready market for investments made by it of Trust funds which enables it to meet the requirements of benefici­ aries. Its charges for administering estates are regulated by law and are the same as allowed to an individual. ' Its charges for acting in other capacities may be and usually are designated in the Trust Agreement. In all estate matters it is under the con­ trol of the Probate Cdurt having jurisdic­ tion. Where conditions will warrant, it ad­ , vances funds to an estate or Trust when­ ever necessary to prevent its assets be­ ing sacrificed. It will give your estate and affairs im­ mediate, careful attention upon your death, relieving your family of this bur­ den at this most critical moment It will give your estate the benefit of all of its experience and all of its machinery for handling such proceedings without ad­ ditional expense.

Cow testing is a mighty good thing because it shows the dairyman which of his cows are paying him. NOTE:-The Figures In This Ado.

He has no chores to do. He has full power and full efficiency at his command at all times, regardless of heat and dust and flies. His tractor and tools may be made to work through twenty-four hours a day, if the season demands such extra speed, with utmost efficiency. . Recember your earnings come from what you actually do and not from the amount of time you spend plodding behind un­ wieldy teams. Hired labor costs you the same for inefficient outfits as for money-making tractor outfits. The difference shows up in your profits at the end of the year. That is one important reason why so many farmers are discarding their ungainly, inefficient teams and adopting McCormick-Deering tractors and power farming equipment. McCormick-Deering tractors and machines are built to work together. You can choose your machines and plan your work so as to keep your tractor busy practically every day, accom­ plishing from two to four times as much as is possible with Irawn tools. »- Ask to See These Tractors and Tools Edmonds Elevator & Implement Co Thresher—800, to 1600 CAREY U.

To Those Who Judge Quality by Price Thequalityof Ford carscan not be judged by the prices at which they are sold because Ford prices are made possible by con­ ditions that are absolutely unique in the automotive In­ dustry. From mine to market the Ford car Is the work of a single organ­ ization. The Company owns and operates the mines and forests that furnish the raw materials for its products. This material is carried over Ford transporta- tlon routes, fabricated in Ford mills, manufactured in Ford plants -and the finished pro­ duct is sold to the public through the Ford dealer organization. Thus there is but a single man­ ufacturing profit on the car. The following statement, pre­ viously made In an advertising message., is repeated here because of Its great significance to the motoring public. “// any other manufacturer endeavored to produce a car similar to the Ford, according to the high stand­ ard* of quality in material and workmanship used by the Ford Motor Company and with the same tried and proved design, it would be impossible to offer it at any­ thing like Ford prices. And it is well to note that even with less costly design they hare not been able to meet Ford prices.” Original Ford Features that Today Make for Greatest Simplicity—Durability— Reliability • the at«t<*.

Irvine Fi»h<-i Take Care of Your Car— Use POLARD One of the reasons why you keep your car in a garage is to protect the body from the elements. The engine of an automobile is far more important than the body. Yet the engine is often exposed, with­ out protection, to ruinous grinding friction. The man who allows this to happen, often fails to realize that the oil he uses cannot protecthis engine adequately. He does not appreciate that He is to biame for the big repair bills that naturally follow. The fast moving metal surfaces of the engine must have the protection of a thin film of oil This film of oil is to the engine what a garage is to the body of a car. An inferior oil or an oil not adapted to the engine cannot maintain this protective film. It breaks under the strain of heat and friction. When the oil film breaks, the fast moving surfaces are no longer protected. Metal chafes against metal and the vital parts of the engine are ruined. A poor oil to like a garage without a roof. Polarine—made in seven grades—one of which, adapted to your individual needs—will provide the proper protection for your engine. Polarine is one * of the major products of the Standard Oil Company . (Indiana) — perfected after years of scientific re­ search. It maintains its protective film of oil under any and all conditions. That is the reason Polarine is the perfect motor oil. When you lubricate your car with it you are giving the engine the protection it deserves. Consult chart at any Standard Oil Service Sta­ tion, or Authorized Garage. Drain your crankcase,, thoroughly cleanse your motor with PolArine Flushing Oil, and refill with the correct grade of Polarine. That’s constructive economy.

Dorothy Thompson is assisting with the work nt Alton Wood’s. MIm Marian Ecktinnw will teach tew This Year, Win with Power and Machines to Match! Tractor Plow—12 acres a Day. Tractor Dink—30 to 10 Acres a Day. Tractor Drill—35 to 45 Acres a Day. Tractor Binder—30 to 40 Acres a Day. From the standpoint of effort the tractor owner has an easy time compared with the other fellow. He does not have to crack a whip over tired and weary horses. He has no chores to do. He has full power and full efficiency at his command at all times, regardless of heat and dust and flies. His tractor and tools may be made to work through twenty-four hours a day, if the season demands such extra speed, with utmost efficiency. Recember your earnings come from what you actually do and riot from the amount of time you spend plodding behind un­ wieldy teams. Hired labor costs you the same for inefficient outfits as for money-making tractor outfits. The difference shows up in your profits at the end of the year. That is one important reason why so many farmers are discarding their ungainly, inefficient teams and adopting McCormick-Deering tractors and power farming equipment. McCormick-Deering tractors and machines are built to work together. You can choose your machines and plan your work so as to keep your tractor busy practically every day, accom­ plishing from two to four times as much as is possible with horse-drawn tools.

Dr. Fulkerson called attention to the fact that China had efisted for over 4,MO years, while tho civilisation* of Babylon, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Romo had been de­ stroyed. One who had talked ns he bad with Li Hung Chang could, readily understand why China had soatinusd to exist so many thousand years, and stilt exists, nnd givre promiso of being tho strongest nation in the world by th* end of this twentieth century, Li Hung Chang had travelled ex­ tensively throughout the world, and had studied conditions in every nation classed as great, and particularly among the so-called Christian nations of Europe and America. Dr. Fulkerson asked him what waa the secret of China's long life. He replied that it waa "The cohesion ot the family life. Children respect their parents. Young people respect their elder*; and family life is built upon th* basis of that re­ spect. ” • Li Hung Chang aaid that th* thing that impressed him as being tho weakr.ra* of Christian civilization, so-called, wa* that family ties seemed to be weak­ ening; and where that happens civili­ zation and national life must perish. Dr. Fulkerson said that, ia his judgnsat, that was the greatest menace to America at the present tim*.

With such increases in the coot ot all major item« entering into manufacture, it might be expected that proportional rise in the selling price of the finished product, gasoline, would ba asked. But, this is not the case. Skillful management with intensive and intelligent economics have alk but offset these increases. On April 1,1913,the Standard Oil Company(Indiana) Chicago tank wagon price for gasoline was 15c per gallon. On April 1, 1926, this price had advanced to only 17c per gallon—an increase of only 1314%.

Take identical quantities of several paints and apply them to equal surfaces. You will be surprised at the dtffcjenccs in tha areas they will cover. When thia test has been applied by practical painters and by scientific lab­ oratories, over and over again Devoe Lead and Zinc House Paint has proved its superior spreading and covering capacity. You can buy paints that coat less per gallon, but you can buy no other that costs aa little per job. Because it covers better, spreads farther and lasts longer, For many years Devoe Lead and Zinc Paint has been setting a higher stand­ ard of paint value.

This corporation has studied for years, the car requirements of the American people and, as a result of that study, has long recognized the different needs of varying conditions and appli­ cations of motor transportation. . Roadster $1145 A SENSATIONAL VALUE Coupe $1165 Coach $1195 Walter P. Chrysler, manufacturer of the famous Chrysler "70,” Four great classes comprehend the complete car requirements of the public the world over. Heretofore those four markets have been served by_a diversity of manufacturers who have pro­ duced many cars of widely different design and quality. The Chrysler Corporation has accepted the task of changing this uneconomic condition. Its ideal has been to serve the public with equal­ ly fine quality in each of the great motor mar­ kets. To Chrysler, it has never been clear why the purchaser of a car in the $1000.00 class should receive less quality and fine workmanship, in proportion to size and performance, than a pur­ chaser in the $3000.00 class. It is with utmost gratification, therefore, that I now announce Standardized Quality in all Chrysler products. Chrysler cars are built in a number of chassis sizes, in a variety of performance abilities, in body types to satisfy the public demand. Size and performance regulate price. But Quality is Standard. Pound for pound and inch by inch, every Chrys­ ler chassis is standardized in quality of mate­ rials, design and cruftmanship. We invite you to fit any Chrysler car to your motoring needs and to your pocketbook with complete assurance that Standardized Quality applies to all. It has called for courage, and for faith in the American judgment and apprecia­ tion of value, to inaugurate this new principle in motor car manufacture. But we have that faith—given us by the public acclaim of Chrysler quality in our earlier prod­ ucts, and by the insistence of our hosts of friends that under one roof, building to one high-qual­ ity standard, we supply the needs of all of the four great motor car markets.

Here are the records of two of them, showing a positive profit:— Record for 151 Days ONE COW produced 7,479 lbs. of milk, or 240 1*10 lb*, of butter fat,, and gave a profit above co«t of feed of $66.09. ONE COW produced 6, 934 lb*, of milk, or 303 3-10 lbs. of butter fat, and cleared above cost of feed $94.61. __ 151 Day* is practically 1-2 year, and thi* record was ob­ tained during the dry-feed period of the year. Suppose Mr. Heise had 10 cow* that would do a* well a* that for the year? They would give him a net income of over $1,800 per year above cost of feed. NOT SO BAD I The Record* here given were taken come time ago., but show the value of Purebred cattle. . - . There Is a Steady Movement Toward Elii ing the “Scrub” Cows—the “non producers' “boarders”—those which are just about payil their feed or maybe not quite.

For the Children Is Crude Fading Out? There is no reason why cake-making should be less successful than any other cooking operation—when the cook can depend upon her stove. 'T'HAT is the statement of six A famous cooks who have just com­ pleted a practical cooking test of the Perfection Stove. All six agreed in praising the Perfection highly for its baking ability, as well as for its general performance. “Speaking of cakes, hall the making is in the baking,” said Miss Rosa Michaelis, New Orleans, domestic science specialist. Delicate Angel Food “An cvcJl temperature must be main­ tained while an angel food and other cakes arc baking,” added Miss Mar­ garet A. Hall, nutrition expert of the Battle Creek College of Home Econo­ mics. “When I baked cakes in the Perfection oven I used a standard, portable oven thermometer as a check. The flame did not creep or crawl. You can depend on the Perfection flame to remain as you set it." “My orange cakes and devil’s foods were delicious,” commented Mrs. Kate B. Vaughn, I-os Angeles, household economics director. "The air circu­ lation in the Perfection oven seems perfect. All excess moisture was carried away."

No need to open the door and lose any heat.” Miss Lucy G.

Ideal protection against such condition* can be secured by entering into an Insurance Trust Agreement by which The Michigan Trust Company is made the direct payee and manager of the Life Insurance moneys, the agreement specifying its powers, duties and charges, and stating to whom J the income of the investment} made with those moneys shall be paid, under the varying conditions which may arise. The Life Insurance Com­ pany provides the money after the death of the insured and The Michigan Trust Company provides the expert service for the care, conservation, in­ vestment and distribution of this money. The arrangement would save a widow, son, daughter or other relative from the purchase of worthless or poor securities, the pitfalls bf even every day business life, and from the heartaches and trouble that may follow.

Aa a rmdtcf this policy, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is remarkable for the oorapactneas and harmony of it* working force. And ultimately the general public benefits from the increased efficiency. The individual who forgete his profit in the joy of doing his particular work well, usually enjoys the largest compensation; so in big business the organ­ isation that considers tbe rrvia of the community first makes greater profits tn the end. Such a logical explanation of the practical working of the Golden Rule in burinesa subtracts perhaps from the glory of its unselfishness, but it evidences the plauriWUty of ita everyday appHcatioti la the world of big business.

Waters & Son The Better Store for Men Another Decoration Day has passed and you with hundreds of others visited the graves of your departed. Thousands were in the cemeteries all over the country last Sunday and Monday to pay tribute to their departed ones. All had an opportunity to see, and did see the various lots where they were visiting and they observed YOUR lot. We are wondering if its appearance was just • what you wanted or was there an unmarked grave? Last year you resolved that before anoth­ er Decoration Day you would have your lot iust as fine as any other—with a fine Granite Monument and Marker for all the graves. 2497 Did you do it. Or are you again planning to do this fine thing before next Decoration Day? The resolution is splendid, but such reso­ lutions are so often broken, and we are pub­ lishing this special announcement just to call it to your attention and urge you to carry out your plans at once before another week,' or month or perhaps a year slips past and finds your plans incomplete. We also wish you to know that we still > have a choice assortment of beautiful de­ signs to choose from—or if you wish some­ thing special, we will have our artist design just what you want.

It required but a short time for her keen young mind to discover these facts, however, and she took immediate stops to correct them by enrolling in the Bchool of Secretarial Science, Michigan Business and Normal College. Today she is Personal Secretary and Assistant to the Sales Manager of the Grand Rapids Show Case Company, an organi­ sation employing more than two hundred people. She handles the greater part ot her employer’s correspondence, keeps his records, and—beginning the first of this year—took over cer­ tain portions of tils work.

Five courses are offered: College Preparatory, Commercial, Agricultural, Boys’ Industrial and Girls’ Industrial. Special ad­ vantages are offered students to participate in dramatics, debat­ ing, athletics, orchestra, and glee club. Numerous school socie­ ties provide valuable training. Added advantages are to be had in the splendid churches, the various lectures and gatherings which center about the community of Hastings. "The Fortnight," the High School paper, is in its third year of successful publica­ tion. ' ■ The Hastings High School is known throughout the state for . its wholesome influence over the students. It is the only high school in Barry county that is a member of the North Central As­ sociation of Schools and Colleges, which means that the gradu­ ates may be admitted without examination to all the leading colleges in the North Central section of the United States. With an attendance of nearly 500 students and a faculty of 22 high school teachers, opportunities are offered which are not possible in a smaller high school. Yet every non-resident boy or girl receives individual attention and is welcomed by both stu­ dents and teachers. We have a full time Physical Director for boys, and also one for girls. We also have a Dean for girls to look after their social welfare while attending school here. Primary Boom. ram to ba given the last day of school.

Coats, living on Hasting* R F. D. Ho. 7, at Coats Crave, has a herd of milk-producing cows that mo a profitable proposition. The above picture is one of Mr. Coats' cows which helped make this splen­ did showing. n For a Two-Year Period This Herd Produced 373,921 lbs. of Milk Which Was Delivered to the Arctic Dairy Products Company Plant at Hastings and for which the Owner Received $6547.71 From these figures it will be seen that this fine herd of 19 cows gave an average of almost 10,000 lbs. of milk per year or an average annual income each of $172.31. I £ The only sure way a herd can be made to produce like this is by con­ stantly grading up and eliminating the “boarder" from the herd and keep­ ing and breeding good milkers to a purebred sire. That’s the way Mr. Coats did it! | In addition to the above income from milk, Mr. Coats had the veal calves to sell and all The milk the fam ily coaid usedjesides furnishing milk* to other customers. j DAIRYING Does Not Rob Your Farm of Its Fertility In fact, Dairying takes LESS FERTILITY from the soil than does any other of the many branches of agriculture. These figures are taken on the authority of Prof. J. F. Cox, of Michigan State College, and they show that Dairying takes from the soil nearly— 300% less Fertilizing Strength than Sugar Beets 400% less Fertilizing Strength than Potatoes 700% less Fertilizing Strength than Wheat 800% less Fertilizing Strength than Cent 1200% less Fertilizing Strength Um Bailey 1000% less Fertilizing Strength Um Mate* fay Every successful farmer is interested in keeping the soil of his farm rich and yet produce the crops which will pay best. We have frequently demon­ strated in our advertising and experie nee has shown, that Pure Bred Dairy Cattle Properly Cared For Pay Good Profits Purebred cows show by record that they produce milk at a profit over the grade coiva, and those who have held steadily to the improvement of their herds by use of a Purebred Sire are coming through with a nice profit.

We ip ensure tho products of our schools in terms nf cultural and educational value, their spiritual influence, their part in developing bettor citizenship, their work in equipping our youth to meet the problems of life. These primary products aro of flrat Importance and it la a wholesome condition that they are so stressed. However, wo often overlook the fact that a community without an effective school system may bd not only lacking in these essential elements but likely to be equally as far behind in znaterial prosperity. ‘ When the time eomes for a family to slblo to an efficient school Is of first concern. This' is true in intra as well ns inter-city movements. Realty val­ ues are affected by proximity to the class room. A good school will sur­ round itself with a solid population of industrious families; families whose ehureh memberships, patronite shops and stores, give their patronage to the profession*, and thus fill tho arteries of trails with tho blood of business. The Better Schools League calls at­ tention to thi* phase of school influence thnt aids in building up the business welfare of a district as well as leading in tho mental and ethieal develop­ ment of its youth.

This lead* u* to wonder how desir­ able are new residents to a community who aro not sufficiently interested in their children to inquire regarding school advantages* before establishing a new home. It has been said, “We can judge of n civilisation as well a* an individual by tho way childhood is treated." Thi* is a view of a by-product of our schools, a form of public service to the community that ahould impress resi­ lient! who have no occasion to utilize the schools os well a* non-resident property owners, both of whom sonic- out proportioaatc benefit*. Tho importance of tho products and by-pfbducts of our schools may be sum­ marized in the words of Herbert Hoover, “If we were to suppress our educational system for a single genera­ tion tho equipment would decay, the this writing.

We recently purchased her from Henry Germain of Cressey and sold her to Irving Charlton, living about 3 miles from Hastings. The calf by her side also shows something of her value as a Dairy cow. 25 ounces This is another example of the worth of Purebred Cattle in the Dairying Business. Thia cow, about 1 2 years old, produced 60 lbs. of milk per day for the past two years. But that’s what purebred cattle bred up to a milk pro­ ducing strain will do and that’s what makes dairying profitable. Janteed The Dairyman or Farmer who keeps cows that do not produce a profit­ able mess of milk are making a great mistake in keeping them, for good cows can be kept just as easily and at practically no greater expense.

If you are inter­ ested consult us—we may be able to help you get started. Pointers for Dairymen — Summer time is a busy time fpr the active and con­ scientious dairyman. When the warm days and mug­ gy nights come, much more attention must be given the care of milk, in order that a saleable product may be delivered. During the cold winter months the cool­ ing of the milk does not usually receive attention that is necessary in hot weather. The first warm days of spring are often the most trying as the more or leas lax methods used in cool weather are apt to be continued to some extent, and a can or more of returned milk may possibly result; which is an unnecessary loss to the dairyman as well as the manufacturer. The United States Department of Agriculture re­ cently issued a statement to the effect that thousands of dollars are lost,by dairymen because of losses in- curred through milk returned and because of inferior manufactured product due to a low grade of raw milk. A dairyman who produces and delivers a high grade of milk raises the average quality of all milk, and as a result a better product reaches the consumer; making the demand for milk products greater and tending to­ wards a higher price for the raw product. . Morning's milk should receive careful attention, for if it is placed on the milk stand or on the hauler's wa­ gon at a temperature of 70 degrees F. to 80 degrees F., it will very probably be partly spoiled or develop a bad flavor before it reaches the factory. Morning’s milk should be cooled to at least 60 degrees F., and it is not advisable to mix the night’s milk with the morning’s milk, unless both are practically the same temperature.

Stomach So Bad Can’t Eat Even Fruit Cool Kitchen In the Kitchen u>6 Famous Cooks EASY MEALS FOR HOT WEATHER Where is the woman who enjoys cooking hearty meals in hot weather? We doubt if such a woman exists. She may cook big meals because some members of her family who toil hard demand them, but certainly not because she herself derives any real pleas­ ure from hot weather cookMICHAKUB jng With a little planning and forethought, however, many of the discomforts of cooking in hot weather can be avoided. For instance, as Miss Rosa Michaelis, New Orleans domes­ tic science specialist, points out, an oil stove ia much easier to work with than a coal or wood range. “It is much more conveni­ ent," she says. “It needs no Sues,” and hence may be taken to the coolest part of the house easily, as it is not very heavy. Mrs. Belle DeGraf, the San Francisco authority, suggests Perfection “top stove” cooking for hot summer days. Least Time, Least Heat “When I fried chicken, glazed sweet potatoes and boiled pineapple pudding,” •be relates, "I used only the top of the Perfection.The food cooked quickly and efficiently — and of course, the shorter the cooking time, the cooler the kitchen.” That means cool cooking. “Yes, and remember,” adds Mrs. Kata B. Vaughn, famous Los Angeles Home Economist, "the least fire in your stove through the day, the cooler the kitchen. With Perfections no time is lost in heat generation because cooking begins with the touch of a match to the wick.” No Hot Extra Work "Then, too, the Perfection saves a world of extra work,” aaya Mra. Sarah Tyson Rorer, pioneer cooking specialist of Philadelphia,1 'do wood or coal to carry in dot ashes to carry out” To prop* tilled with three pound* with salt At Serve Add a Salad and Daeeart Cool to Work With The “single row” arrangement of Per­ fection burners gives you another ad­ vantage. Miss Lucy G. Allen of the Boston School of Cookery notices this. VWith the Perfection,” she makes clear, "there is no reaching across hot flames as with a gas or coal range. You stay •way from the direct heat, yourself.” ■ Imfda man! SS.'St.lt?- flame,” says Mrs. DeGraf.

From the yearly expenditures of the United States on automobiles, as reported by the Bu­ reau of Industrial Technology, the cost of oil is found to be only 2.14% of the total yearly automobile bill. But oil, for all its insignificance on the ex­ pense account, is a big thing in the life of every car. Failure to realize this fact costs car owners lots of money. An engine must have oil or it will not run at all. It must have the right oil, or it will not run smoothly. The reasons are quickly apparent. Fast moving surfaces within the engine must be protected with a thin film of oil that will with­ stand heat and friction. If this film breaks, surfaces chafe against each other, and parti­ cles of grit grind them away. Repair bills and the gradual disintegration of your car are in­ evitable results. Only the best oil, made especially to fit the needs of your particular engine, can protect it adequately —- Polarine is the perfect motor oil —the scientific product of years of painstaking work by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) lubricating staff. There is a grade expressly made for your individual engine. That grade of Polarine lubricates thorough^ the remotest frictional surfaces. It will permit your engine to operate smoothly — and do its best work. When you have actually cut down repair bills and learned 'the joy of a smooth running car by using Polarine—the perfect motor oil —you will appreciate the fact that oil is a big little thing.

Thus, the man who. invested $1,000 realjjifd a profit of $1,150. A safe investment, involving no risk, yielding a profit of 115%—that is the result of the financial opportunity offered by the Standard / Oil Company (Indiana), through its first Stock > Purchasing Plan, to each of its 29,000 employe* who had been in service for one year. A new Stock Purchasing Plan, similar to the first, is now in effect. The Slock Purchasing Han means more than • a purely financial opportunity to the employe. It makes him a partner in the business. The great purpose of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) becomes his purpose. Its creed of service becomes his creed of service. The employe who makes himself a stock owner of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a personal pride in every achievement of the Company. It is a pardonable pride, for liis b«t efforts are devoted to the work of the Company, his savings are a part of ita capital, and his un­ wavering loyalty is a part of iu launch support. Money earned by hard work and saved by careful thrift, invested in Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) stock, implies a profound faith and loyal confidence in the Company. Through the Stock Purchasing Plan the relationship between the Standard Oil Com­ pany (Indiana) and its employes is strengthened and built firmly on a foundation of mutual co-operation. The state of interdependence tint exists between them is emphasized. The employe depends upon the Company for' the great fundamental necessity, a life work— and for the sympathetic understanding and appreciation that make work a joy. The Company depends upon the employe for creative power of mind and muscle, for faith and loyalty, and the enthusiasm that copnu®« every difficulty. By helping individual employes to J greater security and success, through ti Purchasing Plan, the Stundard Oil C (Indiana) believes that it is helping thi teat ion itself to grow in efficiency and with resulting benefits accruing directly people whom it serves.

The world’s most successful business men did not accumulate their fortunes in a day. Without one single exception, as far as we know, they all started out in life by saving something every week or month. Slowly they accumulated a little “nest egg” and then when opportunity knocked at their doors they were jeady to take advantage of it. SAVING MONEY It is not an ea»y thing to do, because we all see so many chances to spend it. There’s an old saying that "you can’t eat your cake and have it." It’s just the same way with your money. You can’t spend it and save it at the same time. In order to save you must do without some things you would like to have—but things you can get along without just as well. GET THE HABIT Of Saving a part of your weekly or monthly salary and depositing it in this bank. We will pay you 3 per cent, compounded twice each year. As your savings grow you’ll be surprised how rapidly the interest accumulates. Sav­ ing is the time-tried and proven foundation of success; it’s the assurance of an old age free from the pangs and sorrows that poverty brings. Why not commence systematic saving today? Hundreds have started with us. Why not you? Battle Creek .pent several days last pie Jnkn. week with tho former’, parent*, Mr. and Mra. Harry Mason. PRE NUPTIAL AFFAIRS IN HONOR OF RHEA H. GAGE.

These outlays will provide for greater safe-guards to human life, more comfort for the traveling public, increased facilities and better freight service. T Michigan Railroads may justly claim more than their modest slogan— We Serve Michigan. They have contributed to the upbuilding of the industries of the Commonwealth, as perhaps no other group of rail lines in America has done. Two decades of tremendous industrial expansion justified this far-sighted policy of the railroads. James F. O’Brien nnd wife, Iota 25, 26, 27, of Woodlawn addition, >1.00. Chnuneey L. Barber and wife to In encouraging industrial up-building, the railroads have. also, in a measure, created a Home Market that absorbs the bulk of the products of our farms, orchards, gardens, etc., right at home. So true is this that with increased production, the railroads are annually hauling farm commodities less and Ires. All of these—except the hay crop—arc consumed at home. z | 'HIS tremendous Home Market is the ideal market. But the expansion X policy means more. It has created an outlet for similar products grown in ocher states. The track market at Detroit, for instance, handles 40 different perishable commodities from the cars direct to the dealers—a single transfer only. To illustrate: Fresh tomatoes are found at the green grocers for seven months in the year, thanks to expedited service and the refrigerator car. Shipments are made from Old Mexico and five southern states before the Michigan crop has matured. This is so for the entire Use of fruits and vegetables. With our present railroad system the average wage earner of today enjoys a far wider range of delicacies on his table the year round than did the Kings and Nobles of Europe of a century or more ago. / ’ announcing its program of improvements and betterments for the current year which will further aid the state’s industrial advancement, give even greater Importance to the Home Market, and contribute still more towards raising the standard of living of all the people.

JULY DIVIDENDS that comes from Washington that, dur­ ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1V26, there ha* been paid upon tho publie debt of this country lhe enormous sum of »8M,000.000. In 1920 the nations! debt was over <28,000,000,000. With tho payment made upon the principal this year it naw stand, at »10,6>«0,000,000, a reduction of over 40,000,000,000 in tbo six year periwl. Within that period the income tax haa been reduced tw|pe by a slush, averag­ ing 25 per cent each time, and yet in spite of all luat a tremendou* reduction of the public debt ha* been accomplish­ ed. In the regular national budget the snm of 9300,000,000 is art aside to ta n;>plic«l upon the principal of tho na­ tional debt and another amount of something over 4800,000,000 is required for the interest. The interest ha* tarn reduced during tho past year by nearly $35,000,000. There is already talk of another slash in the income' tax, but President Cool­ idge dixcoiira^y* thnt talk at tho pres­ ent time. Ho Anrists that it is wi»o to first know by the experience of a year or two ju»< what revenue will be de­ rived trader nonnifl cir>->iitistancc* under ducod. If the country ean keep’ up tho present high tide of prosperity there to no reason why another cut may not be made in income tax rates. Naturally the President will not wish to have thnt done until the next congress ah al I assemble, which will be in December 1927. By that tlfiJe the country will have bn<i enough experience with tho reduced rates to know whether another reduction can be afforded or not.

Many of the cows of Barry county can easily be counted in with those which show a “good profit”—while we are satisfied that there are many oth­ ers which must be listed with the first third which show a loss every year.

Brock, John Ironside and Fred Parker. substance of their testimony was ns above stated. After hearing the ovldonee tho jury arrived nt a vogdict We bought these cows from Lew Matthews for $150.00 each and sold them later to Germain & Son, near Hickory Comers. • ■ i■ it An ordinary cow will have a record of not more than 40 lbs. of milk at best, and would cost about half as much as one of theJe cows. On this basis it would take more than 4 ordinary cows to equal these 2 cows—and the cost would be about the same. BUT 4 Cows Will Eat Twice As Much As 2 Cows 4 Cows Will Require Twice As Much Care As 2 Cows The reason some farmers don’t make money on their dairy here is be­ cause they have too many ordinary cows. They should sell their ordinary cows and buy fewer cows—BUT BETTER ONES.

SECOND—You will know that you have it on. hand, when cold weather starts in. Experience has shown in the past that no one can tell what the coal situation or the railroad situation will be three months hence. Disturbing elements may crop out that will throw the whole thing up in the air. The BEST way and the SAFE way is to order your supply NOW, while you can get it, and while you can save a little money by doing it. — We Have All Kinds of Coal of Proven Quality— POCAHONTAS for Furnaces and Steam Plants— WASHED NUT for Ranges CHESTNUT for Base Burners WEST VIRGINIA LUMP Niehols returned Saturday evening from South Dakota.

JULY 21. 1926 A PLEA FOR Better Homes AND HOME OWNERSHIP A careful research and investigation by social and civic organizations in most of the cities of the country have shown be­ yond every doubt two principal facts that have a great bearing upon the prosperity and welfare of our various common­ wealths and to our Country. Z . ...' FIRST: Home Owners everywhere are found to be much more contented and happy than those who do not own their homes, and this, bf course, contributes to good citizenship. Then, too, it has been found that those who start to buy their own homes become more careful of expenditures and save more money thus contributing to the prosperity of the country. SECOND: It h as been found that “Better Homes" havehad a very marked influence upon the education, refinement and morals of the children and youth of the land. Parents should see that their children have the advantage of the best kind of a home that can be afforded. / Below are announcements made bp some of the merchants of the city who are glad to render any assistance in their lines toward helping angone who wishes a New Home or desires to have a “Better Home."

In other word*, gasoline for 300 cars was required in 1K>5, while gasoline for 21JX»D00 cars wa* required ta 1925. It was the responsibility of the petroleum industry to make the available crude yield these requirements. ' Success b sdpplybg this spectacular growth b demand lor gaBolinc necessitated an adaptability which the Standard Ort Company (Indiana) has shown lo an extraordinary degree. It was the Standard Ofl Oxnpony (Indboa) which dis­ covered and developed proerws to double the yield of gasoline from every barrel of crude. These discoveries, praelpn to competitors, wen success­ ful in (pairing a dtminiahfcg supply of crude per car. meet an increaring demand fo( gasoline. AmIfm Tremendous toll, endless experimentation, tinlem research —on the part of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) organisation—made thia condition possible.

Better Homes AND HOME OWNERSHIP A careful research and investigation by social and civic organizations in most of the cities of the country have shown be­ yond every doubt two principal facts that have a great bearing upon the prosperity and welfare of our various common­ wealths and to our Country. : FIRST: Home Owners everywhere are found to be much more contented and happy than those who do not own their homes, and this, of course, contributes to good citizenship. Then, too, it has been found that those who start to buy their own homes become more careful of expenditures and save more money thus ebntributing to the prosperity of the country. SECOND: It has been found that ‘‘Better Homes" have had a very marked influence upon the education, refinement and morals of the children and youth of the land. Parents should see that their children have the advantage of the best kind of a home that can be afforded. , " Below are announcements made by some of the merchants of the city who are glad to render any assistance in their lines toward helping anyone who wishes a New Home or desires to have a "Better Home."

Cteysler Alone Ofifiers Stainidlaffdffiazedl Quality An important new principle, assuring • unsurpassed Chrysler performance to the buyer of any Chrysler Car Walter P. Chrysler’s principle of stand­ ardized quality manufacture is revolu­ tionizing the buying of fine cars today.' For, at one step, it eliminates “pur* chaser’s risk” .... ends the buyer's doubts and fears as to quality .... makes possible the purchase of either the lowest-priced or the highest-priced Chrysler with positive knowledge that the quality is equally assured and the value is supreme in Its class. Leading manufacturers have been striv­ ing for years to achieve this absolute evenness of quality. An Unique Achievement But Chrysler alone has achieved it... translated it into fact by an extraor­ dinarily complete coordination of engineering and manufacturing resources. Chrysler standardization of quality goes back to the sources of raw material; it governs the very minutest oper­ ation; It makes certain that every unit is pro­ duced with the finest precision standards under the most rigid inspection; it even moulds the manu­ facture of accessories. Of course, Chrysler models to meet the four great quality mar­ kets differ in price in size of chassis, in richness of appoint­ ments, in speed and power—the model numbers representing miles' per hour— but all are basically the same in rigid adherence to the same law of quality. i - Advantages for the Buyer Obvioukly, cars bearing one name r .. • built by one organization . . « . under one all-embracing system of standard­ ized quality manufacture .... must be essentially fine to a degree beyond com­ parison with other cars made under ordinary methods. This most important of Chrysler advan­ tages insures the superior and uniform quality which is the foundation of supe­ rior performance, dependability, comfort, economy and long life In every Chrysler^ a That each Chrysler, because of standardized quality, is far ahead of any car near its price • .., in quality of con­ struction and qual­ ity of performance .... you can easily verify by comparative demonstration. Hun­ dreds of thousands of Chrysler owners know this superiority to be a fict. We invite you to prove these superiori­ ties of standardized quality for yourself. x Chrytler Model Humbert Mean Milet Per Hour DOOLEY AUTO SALES CO. *r Phone 2373 i Hastings / �family ar* entrrt.iaing Um latl tet au.l family front (J..anertin Mr. aad Mr. MaleUm Mu tertained company tnua Kn»i Friday. brother aad their mother, for’a north­ ern trip.

DEMOCRATS HOLD PREPRIMARY_CONVENTION Place Full Liat of County Nomi­ nees on Ticket for the Pri­ mary Election Sept. 14 While the writer does not sympathise rith the principle* of tho democfatie democrats in thia state and county have resorted to a pre-primary convention, which in an orderly and deliberative fashion selected candidates for the state and county offices and pul them in nom■ nation so that they ean Im act.nl upon nt the primary. Of course if anyone is not satisfied with thn action of either the state or the county convention, ho been placed in nomination by either convention. But it gives a chance for orderly and deliberative action, which is, in our judgment, in harmony with the ideal and idea of a representative government. The state democratic convention was held some time ago. The county demo­ cratic convention was held in this eity on Saturday, when about 30 democrat* from nil quarter* of the county as acmblcd in the register of deed* often and placed a full county tl/ket in nom­ ination nnd signed up tho iicc-'ssnrv petition^ for all tho nominees.

Appointed Committee to Suggest New Provi­ sions of Ruling Thn time will noon coma when nnnulling bring pnld, Io retired traehcr* in Michigan under the ntnte retirement school fund law will exceed the income from all.sources whieh now make up thi* fund. What change* (hall be ma do in the law so that tho fund majr be maintained in adequate amount la n queition under advisement by official* of the Miehignn Education Association and the Teacher*’ Retirement Fund Board. The problem will be one of tho major educational matter* to be pro. aented in tho future to the date legielature. Starting with nothing, when the law wont Into effort Jan. I, 1917, nil an nuities have been paid to retired teach­ er* nnd (i permanent investment fund of 9747,150 hn* born established. On thi. investment fund, whieh consists of bond* legal for saving* bank depo.i^i, an average of about fiv* per ernti* received. This revenue, togeth er with the annual assessment* paid In by tracker* out of their current *al•rlra, make* up the fund from which all annnitle* am paid. The first complete Steal year for operation of thi* retirement fund plan wa* from OM. 1, 1917, to Rept. SO, 1918, and for that y»ar the total income wn. 9112,475^ Th* Income Increased Meh year since then, until for the last fiseal year, whieh ended Sept. 30, 1925, It wa* 9240,309. • . On the other hand the expenditure* for the first complete year were unall, amounting to only *8.948, a* th* re­ tirement plan wa* Ju»t itarting. For tho 1a*t fiscal year the expenditures were 9190,808, being the annuities paid to 538 teacher* retired by reason of length of service, and to 30 teaehere re­ tired by reason of physical and mental disabilities. During the first year th* fund wa* in operation thn net income was 9103,527. That, is, after payment of the then small number of retired toaehlr* and admin­ istrative expense* whieh ar* small, that mneh was left for permanent invest­ ment. Bnt for the last year, with a gross income of more than double that of the first one, th* net Income wa* only 940.4<I, bwsne of tho ever iaemniiag number of retirement* requir­ ing large annual outlay*. On the bnsi* of present experience with operation of the retirement fund, the point will won bo reached where them will bo no net income left, and unIo*, proviaion i* made before that time for further revenue* to meet expendi­ ture*, the annnitie* will soon absorb the permanent fund, tho interest of which helps to meet expenditure*. Thnt l» tho problem which must be worked out and which will be laid before the next legislature. There will joma n point in the upward •calc of annuities when the average maximum number of retired teacher* in Michigan will be reached and remain fairly constant, «ave for the normal in­ crease a* the school population grow* and require* more teacher*. If the source* of revenue for the fund are so provided that tha current income will then meet the expenditure* to those or the retired lists, the retirement fund will then be on a permanent basis, it ir pointed out. A special committee on the Teacher* Retirement Fund wa* appointed la* year by E. E. Fell of Holland, thePresident of tho Michigan Edueatioi Association. It I* made up of J. P Everett of Kalamnsoo, Chairman, Fran era J. Brtfwn of Detroit, President Char MeKenny of Ypsilanti State Norms College, E. J. Reed of Adrian, Lid: Roger* of Holland, Deland Davis o Marshall, nnd Mr*. Fred Reymond o Grand Rapid*. Tho work of thi* com mittec ia to bring the whole subject of tho retirement fund again before the teachers and nublie official* of the state for study and investigation, and will endeavor to man out changes which should l»e made in the present law. At present teacher* who have taught five yean or lea* eoatribute one-half of one per coat of their annual salaries to tho fund, but aot more than 95; those between five and 15 years inclusive, one per eent, but not over 910; more than 15 year* two per cent, but not over 920. Provision ia m*do In th* law for fixed increase* in these levies by the Retirement Fund Board. z Teachers who have taught 30 year* or more when retired receive one-half of their average annual salaries for the last fivo years, but not more than 9500 nor les* than 9300 annually. For 25 years, or more experience, the annuity on retirement ia figured on the ratio of th* number of year* taught to 30 year*. When a teacher experiences physical dis­ ability after 15 er morArear* of serv­ ice, *he mar bo retired with an annuity based on the ratio of th* year* taught to th*'annuity for 30 years of eerviee.

Among such corporations the Standard of Indiana is conspicuous. “There is hardly an informed man in business of any kind who does not wish it were within his power to do as much for his employes as the Standard Oil Company of Indiana has done and is doing for its employes.” These paragraphs are quoted from an editorial appearing in the Atlantic News Telegraph of Atlantic, Iowa, June 8,1926. They indicate the trend of public opinion in re­ gard to "big business” in general, ana the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) in particular. The old feeling that large corporations are necessarily "soulless” because of their size has practically disappeared. Greater information results in a better under­ standing, and this has been true, particularly in the case of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). A number of years ago this Company adopted the policy of openly and frankly discussing its problems, and publishing facta concerning its work and its organization. Open and straightforward statements of how the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) carries on its vast business, have brought about a truer public understanding of its work, a greater appreciation of the benefits of its operation, and a realization of the true significance of its great size. It « not "soulless” because it !s big. Rather, because it is big, in every sense of the word, it has soul. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is big not alone in numbers, in wealth of resources, in the Bf its activities. These are but the outward l'» dWl5r S“'punwmd prinlU high ideal, and far-reaching viaioo. The attitude of the Standard Oil Company (Ind­ iana)i towarda ita employee, praiaed in the editor­ ial above, ia but one expression of the broad working principle, of the Company. . Sta"Id«'d Oil Comp,ny (Indiana) ia a big business. It doe, thing, in a big way.

They mean a common basis of quality for all four lines of cars—a rigid system of close measurement and fine manu­ facturing applied alike to each and everyone of the four lines—a common source of engineering skill—a division of overhead and operating costs—a combination of buying resources—a magnificent system of'special ma­ chines and special processes devised to insure invariable accuracy in the manufacture of all four lines of cats —a positive protective process of guar­ anteeing the owner exactly the same basic quality no matter what price he pays or whfch Chrysler car he buys. Certainty of unsurpassed perform­ ance is thus built into every Chrysler car, no matter what its price classifi­ cation. The Chrysler plan makes possible greater value for the investment than has heretofore been dreamed by the automobile buyer. At one step it eliminates "purchaser's risk” and makes possible the purchase of either the lowest-priced or the highest-priced Chrysler with the pos­ itive assurance that the quality in each ia equally unquestionable. that they will I who remember h ersded in past ye success in the fa A season ticke been worked ou tn advance from stores of thia cit which will be nu ville, Middevilk 11.00 tor RdDlli. el* and nutouioh Ite sold ip this ad low price of ISOe this arrangement (CooUnus COMING EVE TIMES A Premonitio Stowell, So His Father Chrysler Model Numbers Mean Miles Per Hour wa* very pleasantly surprised by hi* relative* reminding him of hi* birthday.

It admits that it is impossible to do so at that time. Htato auditing department cred­ its Genesee county on this job with hav­ ing paid 8142,703.60 and claims a bal­ ance due 87,237.52, and asks that the county remit 99,000 of this balance sad settle the remainder whoa the full item lied statement can be gotten out. Could the Free Press have any better authority than thia letter from th* State Highway Department, of which it publishes a photographic copy, for its statement that thia eight miles of road cost 1300,844.481 That is either true or else the state accounting department is «o ineompetent that it does not know how to keep books; but-the governor will never admit that, although it will be rrmcmliered that on three daya in secession last spring he gave out three different statemenu an to the Condition in which the state treasury would be on July 1st, each of which he claimed had been furnished to him by his own ac­ counting department and was eorreet, nnd each differing radically from th8 other. Thin eight mile section, known as tho Grand Blane project, called for the resurfacing of a cement highwav al­ ready* built, and for an additional four foot in width for tho little more than eight mile*. When the matter was pre­ seated to the Genesee county author­ ities the estimate was made of 830,000 per mile for the eight miles. The gov­ ernor admits that it actually eost 8397,­ 772.08 or 849,369.75 per mile, or about 66 per eont above the estimate. But the photographic letter, whoso genuineness eannot be questioned, shows that the eost, ba*ed on tho claim made upon Oencm-c county of 8149.961.12 would make the total construction cost 8599JU4.48, or nearly 875,000 per mile, or 150 per cent more than the estimate! This particulnr stretch of road was built by prison labor, which the gover­ nor claimed was "very oconomieal.” If it was economical Heaven spare thn rest of the state from such economy! The Free Press however has met th* governor and Mr. Dillman in their cisrtms that the Free Press was inac­ curate by reproducing in its issue of August 8 a large photographic copy of the letter from the Highway Depart­ ment. signed by C. M. Ziegler, supervis­ ing engineer of the department, which shows that the Free Press had full justiflratioa for ita figures. Genesee county probably had had some experience with the state depart­ ment, for instead of appropriating ita share of the 830.000 of estimated cost per mile, it actually appropriated 8100,­ 000; nnd this 8100.000, less a rebate of 8556-89 wn* actually paid to th* stat*. Genesee county deelined to pay more than this because of the fact that th* claim of 8149,961.12 was so outrageous a claim, as compared with what was originally estimated, that they refused to pay any more money, and have novar done so. Thia Free Press article goes to prove one of two things: (1) That if the cost of resurfacing eight miles of road be taken at the governor's own figures, 849,369.75 per mile, when the estimate was <30,000 per mile, that efficiency in building roads cannot be claimed for his administra­ tion. If the coat was what the letter from the state highway department ad­ mits it was nearly 875,000 per mile, it is outrageously high. Whether tho state auditing department was right when tho letter was written, or is right in what Mr. Groesbeck now claims may be settled when the hooka ean be exam­ ined when Mr. Groesbeck goes out of office. (2) That the claim to do efficient, economical road building when actual costa exeead estimates, as In this ease, by 66 par cent, if the governor’s figures arc true, or by 150 per cent if the state highway department’s letter is correct, is utterly refuted. Also that an audit­ ing department which furnishes the atatc highway department with a eost for 8 miles of paving which was 8202; 000 more than figures which that de­ partment now furnishes to the governor, evidences the urgent need of a change in our governorship. (3) That the claim to bo giving a business like administration with such a showing as that is absurd. It is on a par with the showing of a swarm of atatc employee* going up and down the state plugging for Groc*b«ck in­ stead of working at the job* for which they are paid.

The BANNER ha* been requested, by the director* of the Harting* Rumi Fire Association, also by the officers of the Hastings Commercial Club, to make the following statements: 1. That neither the ns.orintion nor the club, nor any of their officer* nnd director* hnd anything whatever to do with engaging the Aerial Ciren* nnd Auto Polo Exhibition. which i* orbed* tiled to appear nt the fair ground* to­ day. Wednesday. 2. That al the time when the date for the demonstration of the new rural fire truck wn* fixed none of the direc­ tor* or officer* of the Rural Fire A»*ociation nor the officer* of the ComtnerHal Club knew that the Aerial Circus nnd Auto Polo Exhibition wn* acheduled to appear in Hnsting*. the contract for their appearance having boon signed July 20. 3. It now appear* that thr contract* for the Aerial Ciren* and Auto Polo Exhibition were made with the *ecretary of the Bnrry County Agricultural Association, prior to the time when the date for the fire truck demonstra­ tion wn* fixed. Not until all plan* had hern made, the bill* printed, nnd every­ thing wa* scheduled for tho fire truck demonstration did Mr. Dawson remem­ ber that there was a conflict of dates. 4. Mr. Dawson talked with two mem­ bers of the Commercial Club, after all thr arrangement* for the fire truck demonstration hnd been made, and said that h" hnd forgotten thr date for thr Aerial Circus nnd Auto Polo Exhibition, but he feared that it hnd l»rcn set for the same day ns the fire truck demon­ stration. At the time when thin con ver.ntion occurred Mr. Dnw*on was in Grand Rapid*, where he spent over a half a day with thr committee for the fire truck demonstration program in srcaring attraction* for the program scheduled for that demonstration. He made thi* statement to the two mem­ ber* of thn Commercial Chib committer while they were in Grand Rapids rm this errand. Both of these members de­ clared that they did not believe it would interfere with the fire truck demomtration program, liecausr it wa* to lie held on the fair ground* and wn* to lie a pay exhibit. It was frit by these gentle­ men, and they so expressed themselves that, as the fire truck demonstration program was free to everybody, and wa* up town, while the other wa* on the fair ground* and therefore no one need attend the Aerial Circus unless he want­ ed to pay the money to dp so, there would t>e no conflict in the two events. The two member* of the Commercial Club learned from Mr. Dawson that the contract for th- Aerial Show wa* sign­ ed-before the time when thr day was agreed on for*demonstrating the Arc truck. * 5. The directors of the Rural Fire Association and the offieXr* of the Com­ mercial Club, as well as Mr. Dawson, regret that thi* conflict ha* occurred. It is simply one of those things that will happen now and then without any intent to have it »o. All the parties connected with hi* matter have acted in good faith, and'there wa* no intent to have nny eonflii't whatever. This statement I* made in justice to all coneeraod.

What oil can you depend upon, always, to protect the fast moving surfaces of the engine? The thousands of motorists who are tired of experimenting will tell you to use Polarine. & CORN FLAKES & Polarine lubricates the engine thoroughly, maintaining its film of oil under all condi­ tions.

NOTICE. day’s Detroit Free Press an Editorial on the Governorship Question Which is so Timely, Fair and SaneThat We Gladly Pass It On To Our Readers Alex J. Groesbeck has been elected governor of Michigan three times. He is now asking a fourth term, and his plea is.that he wants to "finish hi« work for the state." The plea is hollow. It could be used equally well a.s an argument for a fifth, sixth or sev­ enth term, or even for a life tenure. The work is a continuing task which is bequeathed by each incumbent to his successor. , Furthermore, against the validity of Mr. Groesbeck'n request, or demand, that he be re­ elected, stands the fact that he was a distinctly better public servant throughout the earlier years of his incumbency than he has been of late. His capacity for discretion of speech and shrewdneas of action has run wild, so that today he is obstinately denying the people of Michi­ gan even essential knowledge of the way in which their public affairs are being conducted. This is particularly true on the financial side, where there ought to be frankness and clarity down to the smallest detail. The governor’s natural independence and initiative are express­ ing themselves in an almost contemptuous disregard for constitution and statutory restricttions on his authority. Today, Michigan is living under a star chamber, autocratic regime which is assuming both executive and legislative functions, and to a degree even judicial power. The present governor of Michigan has accomplished all he can for this state. He has had ali the honor and credit from his office it is possible for him to acquire. His further incum­ bency will be a detriment and a danger to the commonwealth; and the voters will be wise if they keep in mind the rule laid down by George Washington against excessive tenure of office by executives, and say to Mr. Groesbeck that he must now retire to private life. There also is a special reason fordoing this aside from the important question of further avnilability of Mr. Groesbeck. Michigan this year has a rare opportunity to nominate and elect a capable, experienced, trustworthy man of business and executive ability in his place. As far as the Republican field was concerned, this was not the case two years ago, which is one reason why Mr. Groesbeck is in office now. There is no guarantee that it will be the case two years hence if the present governor continues where he is. Indeed, judging of the future by the past, the probability that opportunity will repeat itself in 1928 is rather small. Today, however, Michigan has a golden chance to guard the future and make certain of able and careful service in the executive chair throughout another natural gubernatorial period. Today the state can eliminate one-man dictatorship and restore constitutional govern­ ment in Michigan by wise use of the simple elective process. A job of restoration later on might not be so simple. The Republicans of Michigan upon whose shoulders rests the first responsibility for the future will be throwing away a great saving opportunity if they do not nominate Fred W. Green in place of Mr. Groesbeck at the primary election on September 14. In these days it is not often that a party has the good fortune to be in a position to select a state standard bearer with qualifications and a record as excellent as those Mr. Green possesses. And if two such outstanding, high grade men as Mr. Green and Mr. Comstock are placed in nomination by their respective parties, Michigan can feel that it is in a position to face the future with confidence.

This is because in the past three years thc organization of which Mr. Chrysler is the head has pioneered more improvements in the automobile than had been brought forth in the preceding decade. The result has been quality beyond compari­ son and now Mr. Chrysler further empha­ sizes this quality—makes it more than ever outstanding in all price classes—by his plan of Standardized Quality. Mr. Chrysler is the first and only: manufacturer building four cars name and one management in one group of unified plants on a standardized quality basis. This standardization of quality is thc result of an extraordinary complete coordination of engineering and manufacturing facilities and resources.

Con.ervatiue but Progreuive The Only National Bank in Barry County MIU TUI OlOMEIWIT CO-OPERATION NEEDED BE­ TWEEN CITY AND RURAL RESIDENTS IS MERELY A QUESTION OF SERVING OTHERS Urged Commercial Club Mem­ bers on to Better Harmony and Deeper Understanding The BANNER would be glad if ev­ ery one of its readers could nave heard the very timely address given by Doan Eugene Davenport before the Commer­ cial Club on tho general topic of a bet­ ter understanding between town folki and farm folks. He started off by asserting that get ting up something for the entertain went of dinners and their families while it might be of some value, was really of comparatively little value, l» his judgment, in promoting a good un derstanding between city and eountr; people. A farmer is apt to see in auel efforts that there'Is a purpose lo got t> his pocket book. While many of then might eome, the more thoughtful o' them, who are the ones who ought to b< reached, really eared very little if any thing at all for «ur.h things as that. The Dean said that the coop'ratior shown in tho fire truck matter "W, in his mind, one of the best illustration he had ever seen or known of real co operation. It had long boon a mattei of concern to the fanner as to how hi buildings could be protected again* Are. Fanners are not able, by any eo operative movement of their own, t« maintain a Are department, with some one ready to net upon instant notice The eity had such a department, witf its paid drivers, and with member ready to respond to a fire call. Undesuch conditions cooperation is possible Thn farmers are glad to pay for th< truek, and have the benefit of its pro tretion, and the eity ia gtnd to have thtruek available for iw big fire that might happen, but to have the rare' truck always with a first claim upon it for a eail from the oountry. That, he raid, had settled a real problem for.thr people within a aine mile radius of Has tings aad waa a fine thing to do. He said that the best way that Im eonld think of for people to settle theiproblem* is to talk them out, face t< face, aronnd a table. When the paopb of any farm locality have a problem which need* solution, and in which thr experience of town folk* might be help ful, n-thiqg could be finer than fothem to break bread together, ait arouad a table and talk the qncstloi out la a spirit of fairness add good will. He said he didn’t know of any other way for people to eome to a real under­ standing of earh other that eould equal that. Ho said thnt there waa advice as to investments, which people of exper­ ience in such matter* could give to the fnrtners, nnd they would certainly ap Creeiate it for it would be worth their aving. This, too, waa something to be talked out. The whole questioiFresolved itself largely to a matter of service—the ques­ tion of serving and helping one another. Ho told how, recently, a matter bad come up in his own immediate neigh­ borhood where an estate had to be set­ tled. The question of who should get and who should operate the farm own­ ed by that estate was a matter of vita) importance to every resident of that neighborhood. It might have been poo sibio to get some ignorant family or some foreigner who had no idea of American ways and usage*, to eome in and oeeupy it and it would have made every property owner in that district feel that living wa* leaa worth while had thi* farm gone into sueh hand*. He believed'that neighbor* nnd b|nka in-i eity folk* generally should do their it most to try and keep rural district* n the bands of people who have high (teal* of living, and that thi* is a prob­ era In whieh both the eity and tho ountry nre mutually interested. Dean Davenport said that be believed hat every thinking person would reeoglire the fact that our freedom in thi* -ountrv. our democratic institutions and ■verything connected with what we all our American svetem nf govern, ■>rnt could be directlv traced to the ialueneo of tho Christian chureh. He felt that folh* in town, whether thev ▼rre member* of any particular branch ■ >f the ehureh or not, and folk* in the ■oiintry, no matter whether t>ey were •bnrth member* or not. ought to, and he believed would if the matter were >ut up to them right, gladly contribute omething to the rapport of an instltuion to whieh this country and the \mericaa people owed so mueh.

SAFETY—It is the solemn duty of every financial institution to use every means possible to protect the funds, securities and valuables entrusted to its care. Absolute security is the one thing above all others that every deposi­ tor wants and every real banker seeks to provide. OUR BURGLAR ALARM system is the most modern and efficient sys­ tem and a fitting climax of positive absolute security afforded by our vaults. Service Service in banking means first the safeguarding in every possible way the interests of the customers of the institution. This bank stands ready at all tirhes to discuss with anyone matters of business and finance. It is our desire to serve through any and all of our various departments— serve in a sound, broad-minded and helpful way—serve in a manner that is big enough and progressive enough to merit the patronage of those in bigger business dealings, and yet at the same time value the account of the newsboy.

HXSTlN-*3 US&D CAR IS ONLY AS DEPE-NOABLG AS TH& DGALGR WHO SE-LLS IT of Purpose The far-reaching Importance of the cracking nrorewes dis­ covered mid developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana* i* emphasized in a recent information circular published by tin United States Bureau of Minco/ ‘‘Accordin'.' to the best information available, about 26% of the cnsoliix output of die refineries for 1925 was pro­ duced from iwavicr oils by cracking. This represents a production of approximately 2.B2-I.OOO.tKJO gallons of gasoline by Hie use of cracking processes.” A brief review of recent history will reveal the significance of lids colossal achievement. As far tuck a* 1913when there were only one and a quarter million automobiles in the country, men wl» were well informed began to worry about the supply of crude off With a rapid increase in the number of automobiles would the available nude oil be sufficient to produce an adequate amount of gasoline? That was the question which experts were asking. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) answered it by discover­ ing and developing its famous pnxcMot for cracking gaso­ line. For in tire research lalxiratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) wliere tlie patient and tireless work of edcntiMs g<*-s on day after day. tbe first commerdaUy tucctulul cracking process was discovered. P-C Harrow Attachment 19 of the above attachments on a 25-tooth harrow did the job of eradicating the thistles and obnoxious weeds, one time through, on the field as shown above at right. This field was practically a solid bed of thistles. A spring-tooth harrow P-C equipped run through this patch of thistles gives one an idea what P-C Attachments on 8 harrow will do. They not only get the thistle?, but cut under the ground about 2 inches and leAve a perfect seed bed due to the soil running over the wings of the sweep and fill the furrow the breaker makes. These Attachments Fit on Any Spring Tooth Harrow This new method was a spectacular discovery for it ' ctn-tclicd Ute supply of crude, producing double the yield ot gasoline obtained by the old methods. ■ The cracking processes belonged to the Standard Oil ComKny (Indiana) by right of discovery and might have been pt for its exclutivc use. The above picture shows a field on the W m. Tobias farm, 5 mil. s south of Hastings. This field was plowed early in the spring and left for summer fallow. Due to his other work Mr. Tobias did not get time to keep this field harrowed, and Canada thisiks and other obnoxious weeds got such a start he thought he would have to plow it again. He decided to try out P-C Harrow Attachments on his harrow. j The picture as shown above was taken in part of the field where the thistles were>nost dense. Tho picture shows the-results after one round had been made with drag equipped with P-C Attachments. Since this picture was taken Mr. Tobias has completed dragging this field twice over, and tells us that one more lime over will clean up all the weeds and will leave a wonderful seed bed for sowing his wheat. .

Ayo HASTINGS, MICHIGAN Competition in Words One who goes into the market to buy a motor car today is naturally confused. He haa read the words best and greatest bo often that they have ceased to be convincing. Where ell ia best, he reflects, there can be no best. ■V in ten-thousand dollar language. And vice versa. He finds himself the target in a war of adjec­ tives; the helpless victim in a gigantic competi­ tion of words. And so he is forced to rely on chance—the advice of friends—or his own limited experience. Dodge Brothers, Inc., have never participated in this verbal competition. They are content with the position they have long maintained in the far more vital competition <• They have continued steadily to improve their product, not only in comfort and beauty, but bsnicslly—beneath the body and hood where fundamental values lie. * Yet they have not unduly stressed each better­ ment that haa marked the steady progress of their motor car toward a higher perfection. 'And when economic conditions or greater sales have permitted them to reduce prices without reducing quality, they have announced the fact without excessive emphasis. - Uneugg erated truth is not spectacular. But in tfie long run, implicit public confidence haa been Dodge Brothers reward, and this they propose to preserve forever by continuing to_ build just a little better than they tell.

And Michigan farmers will commence to reap a profit from their Dairy Herds. Just now farmers don’t need more cows but BETTER COWS. If all the Dairy Cows of Michigan were purebred and belonged to the last third above mentioned the average milk yield in the state would doubtless be more than doubled and all dairying would be on a profitable footing. MR. FARMER:—Investigate your cows! Join a Cow Testing Associa­ tion and find out for yourself just what class your cows are in. You may be surprised to find one of them belongs to the “first third” class. We always stand ready to assist in every way we can to improve your herd. You can bring us MORE milk from the same number of cows you now have by improving their quality. In every locality in Michigan where Dairying has been carried on exten­ sively for any length of time will be found a locality of Prosperity and Good Farms. Good Dairying not alone increases the Bank Account but Improves the Farm. ' i ll Urr'Il'TllM ■ ■ Illi IMH HASTINGS, MICH.

Today with approximately 21,000,000 registered automo­ biles in the country, it is obvious that their predictions would have materialised but fora revolutionary discovery.

And yet, there are a good many fanners in Michigan who are doing almost that very thing. They Are peeping Seven Cows That Produce No More Than One Cow Should! A certain Pure Bred cow near Hastings showed a record of 2526 lbs. of milk in one month. The average Michigan cow produced about 4000 lbs. of milk per year or about 333 lbs. per month. Keep Eliminative System Active O DOAN’S PI^S On That Basis it Would Take Over 7V6 Average Cows to Produce as Much as the Above Mentioned Pure Bred Cow ! ' Hence, any farmer or dairyman who is keeping only aver­ age cows is practically “Paying Seven Men to do a OneMan Job!” • They could just as easily keep cows that would produce well, and it is the high milk producer that makes the profit. During the past few years an effort has been made by all the leading dairy interests to weed out the “Scrub," the “Boarder," the "Loafer," the "Drone'* —and the result has been a much higher grade of cattle in many sections of Michigan. t ' t ** In September We Placed Over a-Car Load of Good Milkers In Barry County Banish That Troublemaker The Wasteful Furnace Coil Six-thirty in the morning—below zero out­ side—nearly freezing in the house—furnace fire out—the furnace coil is leaking. Then the trouble, the expense, the discom­ fort, and the actual danger to health while the coil is replaced and the fire rekindled. This means that the average standard of MILCH COWS in this county is being steadily but surely raised. Almost every faijner who has been send- . ing milk to us for any length of time is looking for his chance to improve/his individual herd of milch cows. • j. Below is a record of two of the cows we just brought into Barry ebunty and sold. We are giving them so you may see what Good Cows Can ~ Be Made to Produce. FOR MILKING PERIOD ONE COW’S RECORD 11,268.6 lbs. of milk; 454.74 lbs. butter fat. Feed cost for 100 lbs. milk, 82c; Feed coat fdr 1 lb. butterfat, 20c. Returns for every $1 expended for feed, $2.60—by selling cream at erage price of 46c. ' \ Profit on product above cost of feed, $149.93. Average test, 4%. Or in the spring, summer or fall—little or no furnace fire—lukewarm or cold water. And all year—that annoying hammering in the pipes. Consumer* Water fleater Give* Most Smile* Per Gallon You can banish this troublemaker—the fur­ nace coil; install a Consumers Water Heater and enjoy a continuous supply of piping hot water—and at low cost It’a “Built Like a Thermos Bottle.” It's something entirely new, bums a minimum of gas. Ask for a demonstration. 6* ONE COW’S RECORD 8,024.2 lbs. of milk; 407.92'lbs. butterfat. Feed cost for 100 lbs. milk $1.08; Feed cost for 1 lb. butterfat, 21c. Returns for every $1 expended for feed, $2.46, by selling cream at 46c average. Profit on this cow’s product, $126.19. Average test, 5.4%. If you have not already made plans for improving your milk herd do so —don t let another year go by. • There’s Money in Good Cows—BUT DON’T KEEP SEVEN TO GET WHAT ONE SHOULD PRODUCE. < This car of Cows was All Tested and had Complete Records.

SU �Whether You Live on a Fann or in the Gty Yc Are Interes ’-C MANUFACTU UN< of HASTINGS, Because the Using of P-C Products CUTS the COST of TILL . in Return for His Efforts and Lower Price* of F< The P-C Manufacturing Company was organized July 7, 1923, for the purpose of manufacturing and selling certain improvements in tillage tools which extensive tests before hundreds of practical farmers and agricultural specialists had been proven as being superior to any other existing tillage tools used for like purposes. . During the first two years the Company spent a great deal of time and money,in building special dies and machinery for the manufacture of these new tillage tools and in working out methods for selling them to the farmers. f This work required a very intensive study of manufacturing and selling methods which necessarily made our progress somewhat slow as we did not wish to make any false move which would involve a needless expense. This period of study has made it possible for us to work out economical methods of manufacturing, a selling program which really gets results and also brought to our attention other needs in soil tillage which has enabled us to develop the new tools which go to make up our complete line of P-C Products. Up to date the Company has sold almost $50,000.00 worth of Preferred Stock and for the money expended have accomplished the following Results:— ' , Over Thirty Thousand fanners using P-C Products in 87 counties in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Practically all of Michigan, nineteen counties in Ohio and eleven.counties in Indiana covered with advertising and users. , . Factory equipped with the special dies, presses, machinery, etc., to turn out three thousand P-C Sweeps a day and take care of the manufacturing of the other items in our line of P-C Products. In the territory covered which includes 87 counties there are 262,444 actual farmers, and out of this number over 30,000 are now using P-C Products. Everyone of these 262,444 farmers will some time in the future use our tools, if they use the most'improved methods of tilling the soil. This is the opinion of the most progressive farmers and agricultural specialists who know the facts in regard to the merits of P-C Produets. A Tractor Cultivator has been developed which works ahead of a tractor and cultivates three row’s of corn, four rows of beets or beans with one man operating. This cultivator has been demonstrated in different sections of the 87 counties and has proven to the'satisfaction of the farmers and tractor experts that it is the most prac­ tical tractor cultivator on the market today. 4 The Implement! u shown and described in this advertisement are tbe results of several years of eiperinu ICHIGAN i tbe SOIL W1 Products to th The Company has dev h P-C Harrow Attachn h the approval of the a now for spring deliv< We will also have rea> |e is far superior to any I This year we had ovei | P-C Men are very enti lertising and the new it Ir we will have at. least I The cuts of tools on t rket I AM the above results, IduKs, building a sales bugh the sales of appn be ordinary farms.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) dis­ covered and developed the first commercially successful process tor producing gasoline by cracking. With a vision of what an extensive use of its discovery would mean to the people, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gave the benefits of its scientific work to competitors, leasing to them the processes which it had discovered and developed. This action of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) made it possible for the entire indus­ try to unite in stretching the available crude to meet the spectacular increase in demand for gasoline, resulting from the enormous increase in the number of automobiles. Without an extensive use of cracking proc­ esses, the demand could not have been met, and the price of gasoline, today, would have been prohibitive. The success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in keeping the price of gasoline within the reach of ertryone is a realization of the steadfast purpose which always has animated this organization. Through the years, that purpose has never changed. To serve the thirty million people of the Middle West with every resource at its command, always has been the unvarying prac­ tice of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Any product bearing the name of the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) is of a standard grade. There is no variation, no deviation from that standard. • The consumer knows what he'is getting, because the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) knows with scientific precision what it is selling —standard products of standard uniformity and standard excellence. Through long years of consistent service, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has proved itself worthy of, and has won, the confidence of itspatrons. Never changing in its purpose to serve the people of the Middle West—never changing in its loyal attitude toward them—never changing in the high standards of the products it pro­ duces for them- has made the name of this Company a guarantee of dependability.

The ever-growing demand for all four Chrysler models—“50, “60", “70" and Imperial “80” —produce savings now coming to you in the refined, lower-priced “60". The added economies which come from this volume of more than a thousand Chrysler cars per day have their root and source in Chrysler Standardized Quality.

WAT) �r./ 40“ - ANNIVERSARY - 40* ■ 1926 Forty Years-Stronger Than Ever Upon the week of October 26th the old Hastings City Bank will celebrate its fortieth birthday. For forty years this old Hastings City Bank has been serving the people of Hastings and the surrounding territory. For forty years it has been faithfully caring for their funds, lending them money and extending to them every financial assistance. Since 1886, through wars, prosperous periods and panics, this bank has journeyed down the decades and stands today stronger than ever, serving more people than ever before and better able to serve. It stands today the largest bank in Barry county. Behind it lie the resources of over one million four hundred thousand dollars. This is a record of which you people may be proud as are the offi- cers and directors of this bank. Your support has made it possible. We wish you to know that we appreciate your loyalty and friend­ ship through the years. * In order to commemorate the close of our fortieth year of service we are going to give to the people of Hastings and the surrounding ter­ ritory an Opportunity Certificate which is worth fifty cents to any­ one who opens a savings account at this strong bank during that week. If you have not received your certificate be sure to call at the bank for one. If you already have an account here see that some oth­ er member of your family makes use of it. As we have served your father and your father's father in the past so you will find us ready to serve you today and in the years to come. .

Mrs. Edith Collison spent one day After quoting statistics to show that the amount of gasoline extracted from a given amount of crude has more than doubled during the past ten years. Petroleum Age makes the following statement: "Refiners have made remarkable strides in developing cracking processes, which develop­ ment is the only thing that has kept gasoline at a reasonable price.' ' The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) dis­ covered and developed the first commercially successful process for producing gasoline by cracking. With a vision of what an extensive use of its discovery would mean to the people, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gave the benefits of its scientific work to competitors, leasing to them the processes which it had discovered and developed. This action of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) made it possible fix the entire indus­ try to unite in stretching the available crude to meet the spectacular increase in demand for gasoline, resulting from the enormous increase in the number of automobiles. Without an extensive use of cracking proc­ esses, the demand could not have been met, and the price of gasoline, today, would have been prohibitive. The success of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in keeping the price of gasoline within the reach of neryont is a realization of the steadfast purpose which always has animated this organization. . Through the years, that purpose has nevef changed: To serve the thirty million people of tbeMiddle West with every resource at its command, always has been the unvarying prac­ tice of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Any product bearing the name of the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) is ot a standard grade. There is no variation, no deviation from that standard. The consumer knows what he is getting, because the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) knows with scientific precision what it is selling —standard products of standard uniformity and standard excellence. Through long years of consistenhservice, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has proved itself worthy*of, and has won, the confidence of its patrons. Never changing in its purpose to serve the people of the Middle West— never changing in its loyal attitude toward them— never changing in the high standards of the products it pro­ duces for them—has made the name of this Company a guarantee o( dependability.

The board also voted to construct a Covert road, beginning at the orchard in Yankee Springs and going north to­ ward Middleville, a distance of five mile*.

Of v^hat value will your farm, your business, your profession be to you if you do not have good men in office, actuated by good principles. You are a voter, you are one of those who makes the choice. If we have a bad government the voters are responsible. The fairness, the wisdom, the stability of our government, National, State, County, rests with you, the individual voter. The greatest danger to free government is a large number of qualified voters who take no interest in the election of their officers or the amendments to the consti­ tution of their state.

WATER �40- ANNIVERSARY ~ 40* 1886 1926 FortyYears-Stronger Than Ever Upon the week of October 26th the old Hastings City Bank will celebrate its fortieth birthday. For forty years this old Hastings City Bank has been serving the people of Hastings and the surrounding territory. For forty years it has been faithfully caring for their funds, lending them money and extending to them every financial assistance. Since 1886, through wars, prosperous periods and panics, this bank has journeyed down the decades and stands today stronger than ever, serving more people than ever before and better able to serve. It stands today the largest bank in Barry county. Behind it lie the resources of over one million four hundred thousand dollars. This is a record of which you people may be proud as are the offi- cers and directors of this bank. Your support has made it possible. We wish you to know that we appreciate your loyalty and friend­ ship through the years. t. In order to commemorate the close of our fortieth year of service we are going to give to the people of Hastings and the surrounding ter­ ritory an Opportunity Certificate which is worth fifty cents to any­ one who opens a savings account at this strong bank during that week. If you have not received your certificate be sure to call at the bank for one. If you already have an account here see that some oth­ er member of your family makes use of it. As we have served your father and your father’s father in the past so you will find us ready to serve you today and in the years to come.

STOWELL Give Each Your Careful and Honest Consideration Above All Else Let Us Be Fair and Consider th© Best Interests of Our County Regardless of Party From the Democratic Platform Adopted at Muskegon, • September 30th, 1Q26 AGRICULTURE We pledge the Democratic Party of Michigan to an honest en­ deavor to stabilize Agriculture by the passage of such legislation as lays within our power to place the Farming Industry on an equal footing with other Industries and Trades. We recognize the eco­ nomic depression through which Agriculture has been passing dur­ ing the past six years, as is conclusively proven by the thousands of abandoned Michigan Farms from which owners and tenants have been forced to move to the cities because these Farms have not brought in sufficient income to pay the high taxes on said farms and give the farmer and his family a decent living. We believe that the Michigan farmer is entitled to sufficient in­ come from his farm to pay a reasonable dividend on his investment and pay for labor performed sufficient to insure himself and family an Atnerican Standard of living. We believe that Michigan Farm lands should be assessed on the basis of present reasonable cash values, and not on the basis of in­ flated war prices, which results in unjustly high farm taxation, and wo pledge the Democratic Party to remedy this condition. . Z'. ■ . We believe that the Gasoline and Motor Vehicle Tax should be sufficient to build and maintain all State Trunk Lines, County and Township roads, and thus do away with all property tax for road building and maintenance, which would greajly reduce the present tax burden of the Farmer. w We believe that farmers’ children are entitled to just as good school advantages and at no greater cost, as the children of the cities. We pledge ourselves to work for this, and to work out some method to better equalize taxation for school purposes so that rural school districts with small assessed valuation and small child population will be relieved from paying a higher rate of school taxes than is paid in the cities. v • is ,A • Ik* We believe a better marketing system for farm products is nec­ essary to the farmers’ prosperity. To this end we will use our best endeavors through the State Department of Agriculture, the Michi­ gan State College and representatives of various farm bureaus and Grange*u » * «At » WTSIOWS I > Barry County Democratic Committee �THE HASTDCGB BANNER.

EVERY MAN ON THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT * / BARRY COUNTY VOTERS Seldom if ever will the opportunity be presented to you that is given you to accept at the election on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1926. Not only have local candidates of sterling quality been presented for your indorsement but the state ticket presents two of your own home folks, namely, your congress-' man, Honorable John C. Ketcham of Hastings, and one of the keenest legal minds in Michigan, Honorable W. W. Potter, for Attorney General. Their election means much to Barry County. Especially so from the fact that there is also represented on the State Ticket your near neighbors, Mayor Fred W. Green of Ionia, for Governor, and Honorable Luren D.

We heartily recommend Mr. Winslow to you for this position. He is a man of sterling char­ acter. His worth as an officer has been proven.

All along the front—and through the many-citied sectors, reserves are ready. Balers are steamed up—generators turn calmly, irresistibly, waiting to pour their flood of electric energy into the line. Trained crews are prepared for action — trucks loaded with the “ammunition of good service.” Back of this—the Company goes on, soundly and steadily, building the reserves that enable it to provide the material, men and money to maintain service to you.

Only four four-cylinder cars other than the Chrysler "50” are now be­ ing built in quantity. You will be rushed to a de­ cision by the startling charac­ ter of the contrast. The mere appearance and dimensions of the Chrysler “50” alone will startle youby comparison —its family seating propor­ tions, its size, and its marked •750 Coupe Roadster •780 Coach beauty of design, finish and fittings. But the vital thing is the con­ trast in performance — the power and speed of 50 miles and more per hour; the accel­ eration of the Chrysler “50” —5 to 25 miles in 8 seconds; and above all, the ease and economy with which it travels. Never, it seems to us, was it so easy for the buyer to make sure that his money is buy­ ing the utmost as in contrast between the “50” and all ordinary fours and sixes. ma„tnTtedRADIO 6-Tube, 1 Dial Cabinet Style H.

No matter what the pain. The anguish and the dread. The lots or gain. Thanksgiving Day doos come With banners Darning. With song of praise and prayer. Forever shaming Our litUe doubts and fears. Our halting speech and tears. Thanksgiving Day does come. And wo who doubt it. Can do tho very least Without It! We need It more than they Who meet the morrow. Without a weary thought Of blighting sorrow, ca only a little more than 300 years ago? There may be no recorded account of it and perhaps it is not necessary, because in fancy we can imagine the bleak New England shore where the Pilgrims landed. They were the real, pioneers of the most highly developed civilization the world has ever known, and the ideals of liberty and equality they cherished in their hearts are responsible for the greatest Republic of all times. But how different their situation from what we enjoy today. America at that time was just a big’wilderness; vast forests covered the fertile fields of to­ day; cruel, blood-thirsty enemies lurked on every hand; fevers and disease laid hold of that sturdy little band, and death rapidly thinned their ranks. But despite every obstacle and all discouragements, they struggled on, meeting every duty and responsibility, leaving their high ideals as a beacon to coming generations to guide them on to national greatness, righteousness, and power. We can never repay the debt of gratitude we owe the Pilgrim Fathers, and today as we sit in comfortable homes, surrounded with all the conveniences that ingenuity has conceived, let’s let our minds go back to the First Thanksgiving Day in America. It was only three centuries ago—a short period as time goes, but wonderful in achievement and prog­ Whatever heights we may attain in our national life, may we never be so ress. lulled by rank and power that we can overlook or forget the sacrifices and priva­ tions of those who made possible the blessings, comforts and conveniences we en­ joy today. ‘fttbuitnt c| ifa XUuka.-Aati* of Oiwu.

They are well known, often related They are evident in the dally goings and comings of all the people. They are part of tha very atmosphere of every day existence. Prosperity, employ­ ment, security from aggression. a free choice of occupation, the chance for every man to rise to higher planes of social and business activity, a sound government bated upon the blithest principles of ■'self-determination.’' the administration of affairs Intrusted to citizen* of integrity and capacity— such are the fundamentals of Ameri­ can life. To appreciate the blessing* of American cltlaensblp. especially In thesa times. It Is but necessary to glance abroad, to other lauds, where conditions are fur less favorable to happiness nnd social development Though scarred by the war, through the loss of a multitude of men, Amer lea has received no deep wound*. Prosperity prevails in all sections, among all claws of tho people. Else where thia tale cannot be told. No grave anxieties beset this land. The prospect Is fair, undimmed by cloud* of doubt or fear. A strong, healthy people, thrifty and happy. asplrutiTTor learning, eager for service, gifted with the richest boun­ ties of natural Americans have In­ deed occasion to give thnnks <>n thi* day, fervently and reverently, for their blcsslugs. chlldraa Little "movla” favorite bolds a pumpkin on top of her head Just to show how big It Is.

In fact, people ore more apt to forget <Jod and Ills benefits to ns when they are en­ Joying prosperity than In adversity. The well man or woman la not as prone to thunk God for health ns the sick man or woman to thank Him for returning strength. Funner* may be thankful this year that they probably have seen the worst of their bard limes. When so many people are without work and without homes, the farmer still has his chores and bls fnrm on which to hibernate. Whatever our troubles are. they might bo worse.

PETER KOELSCH IS A FARMER HERE IN MICHIGAN Koelsch’s old cow, Snow, has three daughters and a granddaughter. Snow, at the age of 11, produced 11,005 pounds of milk in a year, and 375 pounds of butterfat. She was bred to a purebred sire and the daughter, Bess, produced 14,­ 071 pounds of milk in a year (nearly 3,000 more than her mother) and 476 pounds of butterfat (101 more than her mother.) Snow was bred to a SCRUB Sire, and Speckle was bom. Speckle pro­ duced 9,227 pounds of milk and 337 pounds of butterfat. Again the old cow was bred to a scrub bull. The daughter, in this case, Dolly, at 3, produced 6,274 pounds of milk and 239 pounds of butterfat. That’s more than 7,000 pounds of milk less than Bess, daughter of a pure­ bred sire, and only half as much butterfat. Then Bess—sired by a purebred bull, remember—was bred to a pure­ bred bull, and Daisy was born. Daisy, when only 3, produced more than her grandmother did at 11. You see, while there was a little difference in age between Bess and Spec­ kle there was a difference in production of 4,842 pounds of milk and 139 pounds of butterfat in favor of Bess. You see, too, that Bess produced 7,797 pounds more milk than Dolly did—Dolly the daughter of a scrub bull. These are actual figures taken from actual cows under just ordinary cir­ cumstances. Hundreds of other examples of similar character can be found everywhere. FARMERS AND DAIRYMEN!

TIME TO PAY DEBTS IS WHEN WE HAVE THE CASH Will Reduce Annual Interest Charges by Nearly Thir­ teen Millions of Dollars The BANNER has not often been able to agree with Senator Couxens’ course as Unifed State* senator from thi* state.

Senator Couxe’n* believe* that thi» money ought not to be returned to tax­ payers next year, a* a refund on their income taxes for the year 1926. He bolioves it should be applied toward the reduction of the nubile debt.. Wo thor­ oughly agree with that proposition. Thi* 8300,000,000 ha* l-cen collected.

Faulty lubrication in most cases. That is the most important single cause for the premature demise of automobiles. Keep your car perfectly lubricated with Polarine and you w II literally save its life. Polarine is the most pe-.ect protection that could be devised for the mo or of an automobile.' Heat and friction cannot break its tough film. You can depend on Polarine to protect all the moving parts of the engine at all times. Polarine is the result of years of experience and scientific work, it is one of the major products of an organization that is noted for its absolute dependability. NOTICE TO CRUnrOBR. Polarine is a life saver for an automobile and a worry saver for the man who drives it. If you have had trouble with your car, you will appre­ ciate the pleasure of driving a car that runs smoothly — a car that is properly lubricated. Polarine will save your car from the junk heap and it will promote a smooth performance that will add immeasurably to the pleasure of motoring. Have the crankcase drained out today, cleaned with Polarine Flushing Oil, and refilled with the particular grade of Polarine made expressly for your car.

For Sale by The AUTOJSPORT SHOP Hastings, Michigan BANNER WANT ADVS BRING RESULTS Air Service Several years ago, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), realizing the commercial importance of the aeroplane, set out to develop a gasoline and lubricating oil for aeroplane use. The work was carried on with the thorough­ ness and patience that characterize all the re­ search of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Experiment after experiment was worked out in the laboratories of the Company and many tests were made. Finally a gasoline and lubricating oil were developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indi­ ana) to meet the requirements of the aeroplane with scientific perfection. The result is that today the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) furnishes the major part of the gasoline and lubricating oil used in aero­ planes. The early recognition by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) of the commercial impor­ tance of the aeroplane is evidence of the Com­ pany’s vision and ability to sense the significance of new developments. The growth of commercial aviation has only begun. Aeronautical experts foresee tremen­ dous development in the next few years and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) shares their faith. We are using aeroplanes in sun-eying, in photographing cities and mapping land tracts, m writing advertisements in the sky, in prevent­ ing forest fires. Aeroplanes are being used for passenger transportation. Air highways are independent of surface conditions. As the hazards of flying are being lessened, its popularity is increasing constantly. The aeroplane has proved its worth as a com­ mercial carrier in time saved and money gained. The need is for extended airlines branching in all directions. The expansion of this form of air service will mean the speeding up of industry. Air mail has proved commercial aviation’s most notable success. It has revolutionized mail service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud to contribute its share to the develop­ ment of an air service that soon will draw this broad country of ours as closely together for business purposes as it has England and France. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is inarching onward with the pioneers of progress, working with thought for the future, holding the steady purpose to sene loyally and well the thirty million people of the Middle West.

Inexpensive But Practical Gifts Make Your Money Go Farther ! Work without vision is plodding. Employes of the Standard OU Company (Indiana) work with a will because they work with vision. They realize that their efforts are a small but important part of a great unit. The man who drills an oil well has a vision that goes be­ yond lhe drilling of well* He knows that he is helping to supply the people of the Middle West with the petroleum products they need—the best that can be produced. Hia work is important because it is part of a great service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as a unit works with vision. It is not concerned with making so much gasoline to bring in so much money. It work* with the vision of serving the people of the Middle West, confident that service is rewarded in proportion to its just deserts. ■ The production of special gasoline and lubricating oil for aeroplane use is one of the latest evidence* of the vision of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). When the Standard Oil Comjfcny (Indiana) foresaw the growth of commercial aviation, it visioned the remote comers of our great country brought dose together by the aeroplane. The success of the Air Mail demonstrated how swiftly and surely the aeroplane might serve as a commercial . carrier, annihilating distance. Tlte Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has demonstrated clearly that the use of air mall is true economy. Progressive firm* concur in thia finding. Today air mail is a recognized business asset. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) realized that the producing and consuming territories of this country will be linked together in lime by commercial aviation. For business purposes America will some day be a large, uni­ fied whole. The work of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to co­ operate in bringing about this vision waa plain. Aeroplanes require special gasoline and lubricating oil. Immediately the Standard Oil Company (Indian*) set to work to meet this new need with all the skill and resource* at its com­ mand. The development of gasoline and lubricating oil perfectly adapted for aviation uses is the contribution of the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) to America's air service. Tliis is one example of how the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) works with the virion of serving tbe thirty mil­ lion people of the Middle West. ' ENAMELED WARE 6-qt.

Long bad brought from her husband'.’ store for younger member* of th* relative*' Developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to solve the problem of dilution of motor oil in the crank case. And it does it. In the past all motor oils have been compromises. Satisfactory in varying degrees—yes—but still compromises. ' "s news. Trouble in cold weather—trouble starting—trouble after a few hundreds miles of motoring—always a little trouble somewhere! In the past, motor oils have had to compromise in order to meet two contradictory demands. They have had to be light to enable the engine to tum over easily in starting— they have had to be heavy to maintain a safe viscosity after a few hundred miles of motoring.They have met neither demand perfectly. Startling! But true. Hundreds of tests have shown that ordinary oil becomes diluted, losing twothirds of its viscosity in the first 150 to 180 miles of travel. Amazing?Yes— but read on. After that viscosity remains fairly constant. An oil light enough for easy starting and cold weather lubrication, becomes too thin for safety before the car has gone a hundred miles. A surprise to you, no doubt. The First Motor Oil That is Not a Compromise It has been developed in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to meet the new theory of scientific lubrication. It is light enough to insure easy tum over of the engine in starting even in cold weather, and heavy enough to maintain a proper lubricating film over all bearing surfaces. It gives perfect cold weather lubrication and does not wear out. What does this mean to you? It means that Iso -Vis maintains a viscosity within “the zone of correct lubrication." Hundreds of tests have proved that an oil, to be within “the zone of correct lubrication", must have viscosity of from 200 to 150 Saybolt at 100° F. Iso-Vis is right to start with—right for. cold weather—still right after a thousand miles of motoring. The Easiest Car for Her to Drive It has been scientifically developed to meet a new theory of scientific lubri­ cation. It makes no compromise. In cost Iso-Vis is a little higher than ordinary oil—in satisfaction there is no comparison. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud to offer Iso-Vis to its millions of motoring friends in the Middle West. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) recom­ mends Iso-Vis for use in your Car.

WOODLAND WELL DESERVED COMMENDATION The load capacity of ths American milroads is steadily being increased by in«ta))ation of improvement equip­ ment and other necessary facilities; and they .arc now handling the greatest vol\Ume of traffic in history, without ear shortages. It is not by ’ accident that privnte railroad management has accom­ plished what political management could not do. "To have prolonged the period of control over the railroads, would have meant the continuance of tho deadly inefficiency that hail, disrupted rail­ road Servian for th-d years or more, and would have prevented the adoption of those policies which have been respons­ ible for the present efficiency of rail­ road operation,” say* the New York Commerienl. “Instead of unprecedent­ ed ear loading*, industry would now b- struggling against rar shortages, canceled contracts, frozen loans and languishing trade. Instead of profits there would have been deficits and bus­ iness failures. The country owes a grent debt to the experienced and able men who have restored order and effic­ iency in railroad operation, where chaos and disorder had prevailed. America owes its present prosperity largely to the splendid achievements of the rail­ roads.” ENDURING MONUMENTS In no other country in the world can one see such striking monuments to the life work. Initiative, enterprise ond courage of individual eitirens, ns are seen in every part of the United State* The peculiar part is, that one passes by these monuments on lonely toads and in tbe most crowded cities, without real­ izing it. William J. Baldwin, of Birm­ ingham, call* attention to such a mon­ ument <)own in Alabama. It is a two— room cottage built of rough boards. Tn It lives a young farmer and his wife.

Thoma* W. Martin, the man who put this .wire to outlying Alabama farms, [fa like pthcr_publie utility executives in all sections of the United Htatea. He has built a monument which will be more enduring than a shaft nt granite, because his art ha* brought progress and di-vi-kpraent to a state, which will endure for all time. Huch monuments of human happiness and work tnado lighter may not be reproduced by sculptors or -recorded in the Hull of Fame, but ns Mr. Baldwin point* out, the be=afita of such service will linger longer than a faeu chiseled in marble.

R. the most complete line of 4 and 6-cylinder Speed Trucks The Harvester organization announces a complete line of improved Speed Trucks of six distinct chassis designs to meet every Requirement imaginable for loads up to 1% tons. * MODEL S is a general-purpose truck for regular hauling and delivery. It is built to carry a IJ^-ton load and it comes equipped with a 4 or 6-cylinder power plant and with any type of body you may need for the work you have to do. MODEL SL—safe and low and easy to work with—is a 1 - ton chassis which comes equipped with either a 4 or 6cylinder engine and has a wheelbase of 160 inches. The top of the frame is only 24 in­ ches from the ground. It is furnished with any kind of body from the simple express type to a coach de luxe. MODEL SD is a handy, specially-built 15<-ton chassis with a wheelbase of 110 inches for dump or tractor work. Because of its sturdiness, speed and easy handling, it is ideal for general contracting, road building, and trailer hauling. Every International Speed Truck is a truck from the ground up—not a rebuilt passenger car. Engine, clutch, transmission, axles, springs, frame, and al! the other essen­ tials are the result of 22 years of truck building experience. Whether your loads run to bulk or weight, whether your business calls for style and dis­ tinction or plain utility in its hauling equipment—there is a 4 or 6-cylinder Speed Truck in either a 1% or 1^-ton chassis made to meet your needs exactly. Come in and look them over. The International line alto includes Heavy-Duty Trucks up to 5 tons capacity, Motor Coaches, and the Me Cormick-Decring Industrial Tractor Edmonds Elevator & Implement Co.

DECEMBER 29, 1920 FAflB BIX We Have Paid the Milk Producers of Barry County Over $2,116,617 Since 1917! We Have Always Furnished a Market for All of the Milk Brought to Us Regardless of Good Tinies or Bad. Since the Above Date We Have Given 20% to 25% More for Their Milk Than They Have Ever Received Before! HERE’S WHAT WE HAVE DONE DURING PAST THREE YEARS YEAR 1924 YEAR 1925 YEAR 1926—Jan. to Dec. 1 Patrons (average]............................. 382 Lbs. of Milk Received . 10,362,902 Paid Patrons . . . $185,454.53 Patrons.............................................. 431 Lbs. of Milk Received . 12,046,031 Paid Patrons . . . $242,321.00 Patrons.............................................. 507 Lbs. of Milk Received . 12,758,659 Paid Patrons . . . $251,133.93 Comparison of Thete Figure* Show a Remarkably Steady Increase In Volume of Business By Way of Contrast ' Had there been no market for the milk produced upon the farms about Hastings during the past 9 years those farmers would have been short over $2,000,000. Looking at it from this point of view, Barry county farmers are richer by practically $2,000,000. All too often we accept the blessings and opportunities that come to us as we go along without giving much thought as to Who or What is respon­ sible for them. We think it is well for us to pause now and then and take inventory, see how far we have come and by what means we have attained this prosperity. . We Have Constantly Urged Farmers To Improve Dairy Herds With Pure Bred Sires ' —and we are pleased with the progress made during the past 9 years. Many farmers are bringing us more and more milk each year from the same num­ ber of cows, which shows that there is a steady tendency toward greater milk producing cattle. Barry County Should Be Big Dairying Section Barry county is especially well adapted to raising and keeping good dairy herds at a pleasing profit to the owners. Barry county soil is suitable —water facilities fine, climatic conditions good, and with silos and improv­ ed herds, farms that are now worth from $50 to $150 per acre can easily be made wortlr$200 to $250 per acre. We urge the farmers of this county to give greater attention to their dairying interests. This interest prose­ cuted vigorously will easily double in valuation in a few years. Purchased and Sold to Barry County Farmers 300 Good Cows In 1926 During the year just closing we have brought into this county and sold to Barry county farmers 300 good milk producing cows, having records. These cows are bound to build up the herds on farms where they have been placed. / Make a 1927 Resolution —to do everything you can to improve your dairy herd this year—Good Cows can produce more milk than poor cows and cost no more to feed and care for. Dairymen are begining to realize this and 1927 will see more of the Scrubs and Boarders sent.to the packing house.

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.
