Practically no branch of agriculture suffered skVere jniee de­ pressions nnd virtually all along the line they were cioser tn n common level of economic well-bcihg thin in uny year *lncn 1020. These were the general conclusion* drawn from nn exhaustive survey of the 1027 agricultural situation just completed by the Blue Vnllsy Creamery Institute of Chicago. Income from poultry and dairy product* was the highest an record in the ln»t crop year, but all other groiips are below their peaks. Income from mvat animals ha* shown ronsi*tcnt growth *ine* IMP II'JJ. The total gross Income in the 102G-27 crop year wn« $12,080,000,000, but due chiefly to the decline in cotton, thia represented a loan of around1000,000,000 from the preceding year. Otherwise, it was the largest since 1920-21, and costs of production considered, it was more profitable than that year. The 1927-28 crop year probably will show a full recowry to the 1925-2G level, the In.«titut Ion's survey indicate*. Tho outlook for 1928 appear* favorable. Agricultural income should con- 1922 and whieh rcaehftd the peak in the 1925-20 crop year. While it is probable that tho next few years will sen o grad­ ual increase in farm income, thn change* from year to year aro likely to fall uader five per eent. The Institute’s survey gives tho fol­ lowing reasons for the belief that 1928 will sen agriculture a little farther along in it* recovery to complete health: 1. That farmer* will not plant nn excessive acreage in the leading crops. 2. Thnt domestic demand for food* nnd for cotton nnd woolen good* will ' be well sustained. .1. Thnt there will bo no marked loss in our foreign market* compared with 1927. Referring to the individual products, tho survey sny* that beef eattte prices aro likely to stay on a rather lofty plane through the year. Export de­ mand for hog products probably will broaden by summer, nnd kog prices aro likely to recover somewhat from tho low poiut of 1927. The 1928 woo) clip should bring more than the last one, but tho lamb crop mny sell for lea*., “ The dairy outlook is ns good ns last year although it may not be starting the now year in a stronger position thnn Inst year nnd »omo gain iu income from those products sqcms probable. Wheat prices in the last three years have been high enough to stimulate both domestic and world a«r«*««MA generally favorable season would lend to a huge, erop and a price depression. This year the partial failure in Austra­ lia and Russia nnd the field damage to tho ernp of western and central Europe saved tho situation. Corn nnd oats production will be larger in 1928, un­ less there is another unfavorable season or growers voluntarily reduce acreage tn avoid lower price*. No increase is needed to cover foe-ling requirements. Prices for these grain* in the next five months probably will be higher than in the same period of 1927. Cotton acre­ age probablyswill bo increased, but there will bo a smaller carry-over. Po­ tato prices in the first half of 1928 will remain lower than in 1927, tho survey indicate*. Thereafter the new er crop — will control. A large apple crop *■? lower prices arc probable in 1928, but total income may be greater.

Thnt 1928 will bo n goad year for this type of farming is indicated by the' results of the Insti­ tute survey, which indicates a goo-1 year thrortgh the f<nr atid the hen, and ' prospects that after the first- half of 1928 tho sow will help increase the profit* of the diversified farmer.

A moderate reces­ sion occurred in 1927, but it i* believed to be near the lowest point nnd the tendency will bo toward increased activity, more complete employment and bigger industrial payrolls.

Taking all tho business and farm conditions into consideration, the out­ look for the fanner in 1928 is consid­ ered good.

Lowly dura-paying members of llbor unions not infrequently feel thal their officials are high-fliers yet they may bv surprised to learn that some of the Big Boys have begun to travel by airplane. In a three-motored transport plane supplied by F. Trubee Davison, Assist­ ant Secretary of War, four labor-union higher-ups on December 10 took off for a flight from Washington to New York. One of the flighty four, a vice-presi­ dent of the A. F. of L., said thnt air­ pianos will become a great convenience to the high chief* of labor unionism. I “The hundreds of officials whose union dntles take them all over the country in the course of. a year travel an aggregate of more than 1,000,000 miles,’’ he explained. “In my own case I run up n mileage of anywhere from 40,000 to 50,000 a year. This is my first cross-country flight but I dare »ay it will not be my last.’’ The humbty dues-payers who put up the travel funds can only hope that air­ plane transportation may prove lower in eoet than the sky-high expense of of­ ficial junkets by rail. Millions of earth bound tax-payers will not be elated by the news that one of tho flying craft which they have furnished to Uncle Sam was lent to leaders of a cult devoted to attacking American industry. Banishment of The Bug. “It 1> very difficult to get unionists to insist on uaion-made articles when making purchases.’’ Thi* truthful utterance ia attributed tu the chief of the label trides depart- an Executive of the typo union. The union label does not hnve the I support of nnion member* because they draw the line at label slavery. And, rm the unionist rejects tho label, tho rest of (ho public positively abhors it. Business men of good judgment are no longer hoodwinked by demands for the union “bug” on their printing or anywhere else. STONY POINT. Mr. and Mr*. Neil spent Christmas with friends at Dueling.

JANUARY 4. ISM fWtVB We Have Paid the Milk Producers of Barry County Nearly 2^ Million Dollars In the Last Ten Years! Besides This, We Have Always Furnished a Market for All of the Milk Brought to Us Regardless of Good Times or Bad! Since the Above Date We Have Given 20% to 25%) More for Their Milk Than They Have Ever Received Before ! 600 Good Milk Producing Cows In Two Years During the Past Two Years, 1926 and 1927, We Have Brought Into Barry County' About 600 Good Milk Producing Cows and Sold Them to Farmers Who Wished to Build Up Good “Milking” Herds BY WAY OF CONTRAST Barry County Should Be Big Dairying Section Had there been no market for the milk produced upon the farms about Hastings during the past 10 years those farmers would have been short near­ ly 2% Million Dollars. Looking at it from this point of view, Barry County farmers are richer by nearly 2'/2 Million Dollars. 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 improved herds, farms that are now worth from $50 to $150 per acre can easily be made worth $200 to $250 per acre. We urge the fanners of this county to give greater attention to their dairying interests. 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 responsi­ ble 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 10 years. ‘ Many farmers are bringing us more and more milk each year from the same number of eowa, which shows that there is a steady tendency toward better milk producing cattle. Bank Accounts Follow the Cow In every section of the country where dairying has been extensively de­ veloped prosperity has followed as surely as day follows the night Barry County would be no exception to the rule. Make A 1928 Resolution —to do everything you can to improve your dairy herd this year—Good Cows can produce more milk than poor cows and cast no more to feed and care for. Dairymen are beginning to realize this and 1928 will see more of the "Scrubs” and “Boarders” sent to the packing house.

Grace Florence Smith wa* tarn Jan. 3, 1877 at New Philadelphia, Ohio, and died Jan. 4, 1928 at tanring, Mieh. After the death of tho father in 1880 nt New Philadelphia, Ohio, Grace at the age of 9 year* moved with her mother and the other children to Coat* Grove in which vicinity she lived for about ten years, when the family moved to Hasting*. About two year* ago she moved to tansing to reside with, her youngest sister, Ethel. She was blcseed with a cheerful and •equable disposition which wa* one of the reasons for the host of friends, who, during the few weeks of her last illnr**, demonstrated their friendship by the many manifestation* of good will and solicitiou* interest in her wel­ fare. The funeral was held from the horns of her siiter, Mr*. Wilson D. Lake, conducted by Rev. Keefer, on Friday* afternoon at two o’clock, interment at Riverside. The many beautiful flower* gnve silent tribute to her life. She ia survived by five sisters and one brother, Mrs. George Shawman, Brooksville, Fla., Mr*. Blanche Benton, Jackson; Mra. Wilaoa take, Heatings; Alice Smith, Brooksville, Fla; Ethel Smith, taming; J. M. Smith, Colnmtma, Ohio.

It has produced and distributed to all comers of the ten states petroleum products of unvarying dependability. It has given employment to a great group of peopli — creating congenial conditions lot work — providing opportunity for them to advance according to their energies and abilities. It ha* employed—advantageously to all cimccTTu-d— the money of thousand* of stockholders — many of them perwxis of small means—giving them the security of investing in a useful and well-run enterprise. Efficiency characterizes the corporate personality of the brandard Oil Company Indiana »? Its creed of service is not sentimental idealism. It is a busi­ ness proposition—a buriness of act* ani facts and figures. This Company is "hard headed" but not “hard hearted." Size and efficiency are but means tn an' , ““M cnfl >• wrvice. The more efficient the tmsines*. the greater the service it is able to render. The Standard CHI Company -Indiana) never loses sight -4 the human bauson which all burines* is built. Btumen is an achievement of civilization. Instead of each man doing everything for himself, ’S"? and «y. “Well do this for you if you 11 do that for us.” The vast business of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is simply organized helpfulness. The desire to be helpful is multiplied many tliousands of times by the power of men and machinery. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is friendly —humane—efficient—helpful. It ha* a personality unchanging, enduring — representing all that u best in more than 29.0CO men and women-a per•^nahty held true from one generation to the next by the highest of creed*—service.

The delegation reports that Governor Hnggrrty nil agreed that this paving would be 'l«ne during 11128.

The paving will start at Urbandale, going south 5 1-2 mile* to the county line, nnd continuing 11 1-2 miles into Barry County.

The growth of the Standard OU Company (Ind­ iana) haa been a closely parallel case. This Company has put service fint and profits last. The needs of the people of the Middle West have been ita chirf concern. It has thought constantly of how it could aerve them moat helpfully, honestly and economically.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)[has proved, ■ as Mr. Wanamaker proved, that successful business It built on a basis of mutual benefits—benefit to the owners of the business—and benefit to the public. Mr. Wanamaker made money. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes money. But in both cares money making represents the smallest part of the achievement. Service—reaching to all people and all places in the Middle West—the same service for all, whoever they are. wherever they live—service that never fails from day to day and from week to week and from year to year—service that is expanded to meet expanded needs, Improved with improved knowledge—that sort of service is the aim and the achiovemenloCtheStandard Oil Company (Indiana).

Twenty-nine thousand men and women are c working at their various tasks, employing the capital of 55,000 stockholders, with one purpose — to make the best products fronj petroleum it is possible to make and to bring them to you where k you need them—at a price which is fair and equitable.

No industry has had to develop under more open and It is amitll wonder, therefore, that oil producers have nt time* seemed to far* insurmountable problems. They have attacked each new issue, however, with the courage and determination which la a primary requisite in petro­ leum production. Today the whole oil industry is vol­ untarily cooperating to evolve whnt might be termed a new “constitution" to govern, regulate and conserve oil The Industry has a type of leadership whieh realize* that the interests of in­ dividual oil companies can best bo serv­ ed by working out n national oil pro­ gram In the interest of the industry ns a whole, taking into consideration the vital interest of the American people in any politics adopted. Oil leaders point out that they are not xo mueh concerned in advocating specific legislative measures, as they are in ascertaining nnd making publie facts relating to oil production and conservation. When this is done and when tbe pub­ lic and legislative bodies fully under­ stand tho problems involved, they feel that the necessary measures will be adopted and that the situation will be automatically mljusted. This ia progress by scientific evolu­ tion rather than by brainless revolu­ tion. WEED OUT THE ARSONISTS During 1920 tbe national fire loss totaled $560,548,624, the highest in this country's history. Conservation esti­ mates ray that at lea»t one-third of thia loaa waa tbe result of arson. Fires canned by carelessness or ignor­ ance are bad enough, and the publie should bo more than willing to learn how to prevent them. But how mueh more serious and terrible is the fire caused purposely by tbe arsonist. Arson is one of the worst crime* and should be considered such. The arsonist imperils life, property nnd the prosper­ ity of communities. Last year he de­ stroyed at least $18fi,M9;540 in proper­ ty value, not to mention the lives he snuffed oub Tho public should give every nid to apprehending this destroyer. Judge and state's counsel should deal with him rigorously, to the full extent of the law. He is deserving of no sympathy. When we have conquered arson we shall have gone a long way in solving the fire loss problem. TO EN0UU1UGE TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA That the United States is tnking an increasing interest ia its trade with South America, la evidenced by the aetlon of tho McCormick steamship line, in sending two well-known authors completely around that continent on one of its freighters. The writers will stop al tho principal porta and gain material for articles of a practical character on the needs of South Ameri­ can countries which North American industries can supply. The trip will take five months. Tho men selected tp do tbe writing are Albarf Richard Wctjen, well known short story writer, novelist and author of “Captain* AH." winner of O. Hen­ ry Prize for Best Story of 1920; and James Stevens, author of four books: “Paul Bunyan,” “Brawnyman,” “Mattock," nnd “Saloon Days."

Sometimes a successful man makes a donation extending tbe magnitude of the gift into many thousands of dol­ lars. Thnt was the ea«e with Owen D. Young, who gave such a school to his native village. Van Hornesvillc, New York, where he began life nt the bot­ tom of the ladder. He wanted this school to represent a step upward from the little one-room single teacher school of hi* boyhood, and to be kind of a school he did not have as a boy. Hr has set a splendid example to men of means who owe their success in life to the simplicity and soundness of rural life a* a builder of character. LACEY.

THE S0' CIAL STRUCTURE The terrible crime which wax recently committed in I-os Angeles in th® mur­ dering of a 12-yrar old girl, hn* forcibly focused the mind of thr publie on the crime problem. There has been a tendency of late to let the bars down for the criminal. Punishment ia long delayed, even in the worst of crimes. A kind-hearted public has wished to do everything possible to “reform criminals." Bnt not satisfied with that, the ultraMiptlmeqtalist has gone so fnr as to ad­ vocate laws prohibiting the ownership of revolver* nnd pistols by law-abiding citizen*, on the theory thnt this will prevent the criminal from acquiring firearms. They.seem to forget that a voluntary lawbreaker would not hesi­ tate to break u “new law." The Los Angele* murder has brought the nation up with b jerk. Why should the law-qbiding citizens be en­ tirely disarmed and left to the mercy <>t the criminal element f Why should the second amendment to the United States Constitution be disregarded ia favor of the criminal! Why should conditions be continually made more oppressive for those who obey the law nnd more lenient for those who break the law! Criminal* in our nocinl structure arc like weed* in n garden—they must be rnntrolled or ruin results. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOLLOWS TELEPHONE America owes its industrial and nocinl growth largely to the telephone. All Rumia, a countof 140,000,000 population has only hnif as many tele­ phone* a* the city of Minneapolis. Our national total of 18,000,000 tele­ phones i* more thnn there nre in all other countries combined. . Each day 72,000,000 telephone enlla nre completed in the United Rtntcs. The tremendous effect of this instant intercommunication can be easily seen. In imagination look back fifty years; it seems impossible thnt buxines* eould exist nnd flourish with the communica­ tion disadvantages the pioneer had to meet. The telephone has changed all that, and our leadership over nations hn* increased, seemingly, in direct ratio to our telephone development. PRAIRIEVILLE AND VICINITY. Mr. and Mr*.

The Three Necessary Things To Insure Increased Dairy Profits: BETTER GRADE OF COWS BETTER CARE OF COWS BETTER FEEDING OF COWS Our experience over the past four or five years has positively proven the truth of the above statement. Every year has shown a marked increase in the Vol­ ume of milk we have received from the same number of cows. In almost every instance our milk patrons have rto more, and in many cases fewer, cows than when they were sending us less milk. This is true all about the State, and in fact, the couhtry over where there is a BETTER GRADE OF CATTLE MORE ATTENTION TO FEEDING and GREATER CARE GIVEN THE COWS. There Is An INCREASE In Milk Production Farm Values and Community Values Increased By SUCCESSFUL DAIRYING! The prosperous appearance of the well managed . Dairy Farm is an attractive sight and verifies the truth of the slogan, “Prosperity Follows the Cow." Many survey^ have been made to prove the value of Dairying to the INDIVIDUAL and to the COMMUNITY. In one instance, in a rich Dairying section, bank de­ posits amounted to over $17,000,000. In a similar com­ munity of the same size, where there was no dairying, but other things being equal, the bank deposits were a little over $ I 0,000,000. Bank Deposits Are Positive Evidence of Prosperity The prosperity of Barry County will be positively assured when all the farmers and dairymen of the County adopt these three principles: 1. Better Grade of Cows 2. Better Care of Cows 3. Better Feeding of Cows It’s a Fine Thing to Have a Nice, Fat Pay Check Coming Regularly Once a Month! Get into the Dairying—increase the value of your farm — raise the financial value of your community and contribute to the happiness of its population.

CATHARINE WING, Prop. THE O. K. LAUNDRY CO 0 fBattle Creek Has Established An Agency in Hastings, With Mr. JOHN G. GOULD in Charge, Located in the Withey Building, 2nd Door East of City Hall—Pick-ups Mondays and Wednesdays—Deliveries Thursdays and Saturdays—Service Days for Hastings, Freeport, Nashville, Vermontville The O. K. Laundry Company, of Battle Creek has estab­ lished a branch agency in the Withey Building in this city, two doors east of the Hastings City Hall, with Mr. John G. Gould in charge. We propose to give the people of Hastings and surrounding territory a REAL LAUNDRY SERVICE at very reasonable prices. Inasmuch aa many readers of the Banner may not be familiar with the O. K. Laundry Company, of Battle Creek, we want to tell you something about it. The Laundry Business ia OUR Business. We like it; have faith in it and feel that we can render a real service in ex­ tending it. We recently completed our NEWj Laundry plant, 140 feet long, 120 feet wide, and equipped it with the VERY LATEST machines, all motor driven. When our plant was completed and equipped we had OVER $200,000 invested in plant and equipment. There isn’t a more com­ plete plant in the country. In view of the keen competition in the Laundry Business, thia is a considerably larger plant than the city of Battle Creek could keep busy. Now, WHY did we spend such a large sum of money in plant and most modern equipment? There are several rea­ sons :— 1st—We KNOW the Laundry Business "from A to Z,” have had years of experience in it, and-we like it. We have such FAITH in the business that we built our big new plant so that it could be added to—and we believe that with the SERVICE we are prepared to give that that time will be here sooner than we expect. 2nd—We know that “rnaaa production" with the beat and latest equipment ia the ideal method of combining effi­ ciency and low coat of operation, and at the same time give patrons high quality service. 3rd—With modern methods of transportation, Battle Creek is only 30 or 40 MINUTES FROM HASTINGS. We built our plant large enough so that we can give to the peo­ ple of Barry County practically the same quick and satis­ factory Service that we give the people of Battle Creek. More and more "mass production" is changing the affairs of the home. For instance "Bake Days" used to be looked forward to with dread by the housewife. Now, "mass pro­ duction" in bakeries enables her to buy her baked goods for as low a coat as she would be able to buy the materials and do her own baking. Just exactly the same thing is true in the mass produc­ tion of an up-to-date Laundry like ours. Many women have broken down under, the strain and hard work of “Wash Day." By building this big Laundry and equipping it as we have, we save the housewives all the worry and hard work. Houtecleaning time ia not ao far away. We make a ape* ciaity of laundering Curtains. We guarantee our work, and that when the Curtaina are returned to you they will be EXACTLY the name aize they were when they reached ua. One of them will not hang “way down" and the other LADIES:—You Need Have No Fear About Losing the Goods in Our Care, As Every Article is Insured We Cordially Invite Everyone in Barry County to Visit Our Laundry. We’ll Take REAL PLEASURE IN SHOW­ ING YOU THROUGH. Scores of Ladies Visit This Laundry EVERY WEEK and Invariably Express Surprise at Its COMPLETENESS in Every Detail.

GOOD CLOTHES TALK FOR YOU BETTER THAN YOU CAN Whether you be professional man, farmer, college man or business man— the clothes you wear talk for you or against you.

The first thought of well dressed men should be directed toward the maker of his clothing. The first thought of the well in­ formed man isz Hart Schaffner and Marx clothes. They typify the spirit of success, happiness, satisfaction and twentieth century progress.

This Company believes tliat by utilizing material which otherwise would be waste and converting it into usable products, it is performing a service of signal value to society. One of the greatest corporate economies of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been its ability tn earn money out of waste. Through the years this Company has been striving to get out of the natural resource, petroleum, all of its potential usefulness to man. man farm. Mr*.

It has meant constant, never-ending scientific work. Did you ever stop to think where the oil for a sewing machine comes from? How asphalt i* made? What's in the polish you uie to brighten the finish of your car? These product* were not found in the earth as they are. They did not happen! Whose ideas were they? You will never know! Patient men of science worked them out in the quiet of unknown laboratories, experimenting, mak­ ing thousand* and thousand* of tests. The petro­ leum product* that you use today are the achieve­ ments of years of effort. The reason they give such satisfaction is because they were slowly, gradually, artfully perfected to give the result* desired. The development of by-product* from petroleum has helped to keep the cost of production of major product* at a minimum—and ha* earned money out of waste. Adequate capital, adequately equipped scientific laboratories—the time and effort of a staff of men scientifically trained and endowed with special abililiei—have made it possible for the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to eam money out of waste— and to pass on the benefit* to all the people of the Middle West. There is nothing mystic about the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) or ita powers. It is limply a group of hard working people earning money, earn­ ing respect, earning friendship by "delivering the good*". It* power* are the power* of earnest effort and sincere purpose.

PHONE 2432 Unseen Currents Wherever a motorist travels in the Middle West, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is always at hand, ready with its service ana its products to supply his needs. This fact is taken for granted. Little is known of the complicated machinery that makes it possible. To thc average person it all seems very simple. Gasoline is made from crude oil lhat is taken out of the earth, refined and distributed by organizaJions like the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Most people have no knowledge of the elaborate mechanism required in that production and dis­ tribution. For example, the transportation system of the fetroleum Industry is practically unknown. About 8 inches under lhe ground it runs—unseen—un­ heard. The system consists of a network of pipe lines— 90.000 miles in all—carrying streams of oil from one part of thc continent to another. The oil is moved by means of pumping stations about 40 miles apart. Pipes are from -I to 12 indies iq diameter—some­ times larger. Thc pipe-line system. like a railroad system, Indudes trunk lines, feeder lines, terminals, storage yards, switching systems, dispatchers, telegraphs and telephones. For every three miles of railroad in the country there is approximatclyone mile of pipe-line. A train of tank cars 40,000 miles long would be re­ quired to handle the petroleum that is carried annually by the pipe-lines. It is the most eco­ nomical land trans|x>rtation system yet devised! Men travel through the country unconscious of this unseen current of petroleum pumped along under the surface of the ground lhat they may have fuel and oil for their cars. Motorists are for the most part unaware of the mechanical means by which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) senes them. But the greatest unseen forces at work in this Company are recog­ nized and understood by motorists everywhere. Loyalty and enthusiasm and a sincere desire to serve run like an electric current through thc entire organization of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This unseen current is felt at every point of con­ tact. Because of it men are willing to go out of their way to find a Standard Oil Service Station. They know they can depend upon thc products they buy there. They know they will be served by a man who likes his job, his Company and his customers. However little they may know of the intricate mechanism behind Standard Oil Company (In­ diana) symbols of service, the people of the Middle West appreciate their meaning!

The proof is the fact that we hnve flourishing industries, that wo have fine schools, churches, lodge*, club* nnd social organization* which are desirable; for the small city has many attractive qualitic* a* n place torlive, and few if nny surpass Hasting* in that respect.

A Local Corporation A corporation is a convenient method of holding property, someone has said. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is thus "convenient" to more than 55,900 people who have elected to invest their savings in a great enterprise. Men and womgp from every walk of life are shareholders in thi* rorporation. Their number is equal to the population of Cedar Rapids. Iowa, a goodly city. It they were grouped together in a city of shareholders, its population would be as varied as any other city's -numbering people of all ages, occupations and fortunes. A great many of the 55.900 shareholders of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) would find it impossible to own any sort of burines* individually. They have only small amounts of money to.invest, earned by hard work and saved by thrift and sacrifice. Yet in cooperation with other slockltolders of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) they are able to own a business tlial covers 10 states and serves 30 million people. They are able to share in the earning* of the large scale production of a well-run. efficient business. They are able to invest their money as securely and profitably as men of larger means. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is more than a method of holding property which 55,900 people liave found convenient. It is a method of pooling energy and interests, as well aa money, to the advantage of all concerned. 29,573 men and women, 15,325 of Awhom are stockholders, give their time and effort, and whole­ hearted loyalty to the work of this corporation. Their combined energies accomplish an enormous task and eam for them the reward* they have a right to expect. Opportunities are unlimited in the Standard Oil Cwnpany (Indiana). Promotions are woo by ability and effort. Thi* democratic policy and the size of the oreanuation give each individual a chance to invest his ability where it will accomplish most and earn a proportionate reward. The money of stockholder*, the effort and ability of employes are combined in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to serve 30 million people in the Middle West. The great group that own* It—the great group that operates it—have assumed the obligation of supplying the motorists of the Middle West with petroleum products of unquestioned quality at prices which are reasonable and fair. They discharge this obligation with precision, enthusiasm and integrity of purpose. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) duml Ollie.. Steward OU BaUdmi 010 So. Michigan Avenue, - Chicago ' I NASHVn.LE.

The great number of two, three and four-car owners who choose Essex for their personal car is tremendously significant to the family or individual who requires but one car. Men and women, these owners of big and costly cars tell us they personally drive the Essex be­ cause, with the quality and com­ fort of their high-priced cars, it gives smooth Super-Six perform­ ance and the greatest driving ease of any car they know. The smashing conviction of greatest value that Essex gives on sight, is confirmed by a wealth of costly car detail that was never before dreamed of in this price class. You cannot mistake this impres­ sion of completeness and fine quality in the design of every detail. And you cannot forget that item after item brings you direct to the costly cars to find comparison. With these physical values, Essex gives the further value of a factory, distributor and dealer policy that actively supports a great service program, worthy of the car.

TAUE to advanced engineering, pre­ cision workmanship and fine quality materials, the new American Edition of the Erskine Six may be driven at 40-mile speed the day it is delivered to you—62-miles-an-hour later on. This means far more to you as an Erskine owner than simply eliminating the tedious driving of a new car at 20-milea-an-hour for the first 500 to . 1,000 miles. It means that Erskine engines are carefully seasoned on the dynamometer—that every part ir sub­ jected to the most rigid inspections— that your Erskine has been assembled with fine-car precision. Such cars here­ tofore have been found only in the luxury-price class! Proof of these qualities of construe- tion is found in the performance of the new American Edition of the Erskine Six at the Atlantic City Speedway. Here a stock Erskine sedan traveled better than 54 miles per hour for 24 consecutive hours, establishing itself as champion of its price class. No stock car priced under $1,000 has ever equalled this record.

WEDNESDAY, FEBBUABY 29, IWfl A new gasoline experience actually—NEW MILES per gallon T is a fact that the new Texaco docs give better results—measur­ ably better. It has at once overcome the limitations of the older type of engine and enhanced the performance of the new. I You can’t be mistaken. You see the record of actual miles rolling up on your speedometer. You notice the ample gasoline reserve and the fewer filling stops. Your car is the same, but the new and belter Texaco is a different gasoline—more miles to the tankful. That’s the difference between dry gas and wet! The new and better Texaco, vaporizing to a dry gas, enters the cylinders and ignites instantly. It burns freely and delivers all its power in that split fraction of a second of the power-stroke. Wherever you stop for gasoline, see to it that your car draws up beside the Texaco pi|mp. Look for the Texaco Red Star and Green T. Not WET . . . .

Ever since it was put on the market last winter, letters have come pouring in by the thousands from enthusiastic custom­ ers praising Iso-Vis. Because they relate how Iso-Vis has worked in their cars—because they give frank, unsolicited opinions, we believe they are the best "ads" that could be written about this extraordinary motor oil. They tell in the everyday language of actual use what we mean by such terms as "constant viscosity". They are actual records of the unusual service Iso-Vis gives.

LOUDS fly as fast as 150 miles per hour. Of course the Rco Flying Cloud won’t fly that fast—nor will all clouds. C But as an editor of Motor says, in the January issue: "There is enough gravel on these roads (in Michigan) to give them a sort of 'ball-bearing surface’ and the wtitcr being some­ what conservative believes that forty miles per hour is about right for such roads. "But to the writer’s surprise it was really an effort to hold this car below fifty miles per hour, so smoothly and quietly did it run. Several times he slowed it down to forty, but invariably he was soon back up to fifty or sixty. Certainly there could be no more convincing commentary on the sweetness with which this car runs. "There was no convenient opportunity to test its maximum speed, but considering the ease with which it reaches tixty or sixty-five its top speed must be all that could be desired." Wc know what Rco Flying Clouds have done in many hands. But what its top speed will be in your hands on your roads, only you can prove by trying one out. Then the honest speedometer of the Flying Claud will translate into miles per hour the speed at which you are traveling. And you’ll be surprised, not only at how very fast you are going, but how very comfortably you arc riding at that great speed.

The tiller is designed to remove only solids from the oil and this it dors effectively nt nil seasons.

The investigation shows tbit the law of supply and demand ^gulates the price of gasoline the same as it regu­ lates the price of potatoes or wheal. It also shows that there is a growing in­ tensity of competition in the oil busi­ ness. ComiM'titive conditidbs have mater­ ially changed since the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company in 1911. Tho separate companies resulting from tho dissolution now have about 23 per cent of crude production nnd about 43 per cent of the output of refined products. This i* in contrast to the situation 20 years ago when the parent concern pro­ duced about 80 per eent of the refined products. There is, moreover,/tnounting evidence, the cummiuiun finds, that the former close relationship ninuiig the Standard companies is >t>*adily ing dissolved. Not only is the owner­ ship of there e.nupunies now widely dispersed, but their rivalry in certain market area* is open and vigorous. The commiasion points out n trend toward moderation of competitive riv­ alry indicated by several recent mer­ gers nnd by a growing sentiment for the regulation of production of petro­ leum in order to conserve tho supply npd protect the financial interest* of landowner* and operating eompanles.'

EVERY ONE Who Opens a Bank Account HELPS TO MAKE HIS TOWN RICHER AND HIMSELF MORE PROS­ PEROUS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONSTANTLY INCREASING BANK BALANCES. A dependable bank is a necessity in every growing center because it provides a clearing house for funds which are put to work in the interests of local business and farming enterprises. There is no one worth while in this community who does not want to add both to his own prosperity and to the public gdod. Therefore every pro­ gressive person should have a bank account, for this is the first thing to do to accomplish these ends. We are anxious to see this city and surrounding community prosper. We are anxious to see each individual in it prosper. Building up a good bank balance and wisely investing that money means future prosperity for you and this community.

Iso-Vis is used and praised everywhere in the ten states of the Middle West. . . . The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has received thousands of letters from all parts of its territory -—written by enthusiastic customers who volun­ tarily have taRen the trouble fa-tell of their personal experiences with Iso-Vis. H^re are a few quotations selected at random: C' I am pleased tp tell you of the aucceas I have had with l*o-Via Heavy in my Oakland Sedan. I am traveling on the road with a Dry Gooda Concern out of St. Louis. Mo., and do considerable hard driving. I ran my car 2025 miles on one filling of Ito-Vis, adding but three quarts in thi* time. When the oil waa drained it had a wonderful body and color left. —Thon. E. Bayer, 316 We*t Ave., Clayton, Mo. I wish to express rny appreciation of the Standard Oil Company's latest achievement in lubricating oils —Iso-Via, I .am now able lo drive my Ford Coupe around 1500 mUemisUtMMJi changing oil. And I am obtaining the most wonderful results of any motor oil I have ever used. . —J. S. Bemens, South Bend, Ind. I purchased a five gallon can ol Iso-Via and have continued to use it ever since. Am more than pleased with the results. It seems to give life to the motor and it also appears to run smoother. I change the oil every 1500 miles and the oil drained seems to hive sufficient body for an additional 600 miles. In my judgment Iso-Vis is the best oil on the market. —Leo Decswister, 818 Cherry St.. Mt. Carnuel, III. Maybe you've wondered how a new motor oil could become famous so fast.' There are plenty of reason^for the pdpularity of Iso-Vis! Ask any motorist who has used it! It’s such, a remarkable oil and it gives such remarkable results that people want to talk about it—tell their friends what extraordinary service it has given them. Iso-Vis has aroused widespread enthusiasm because it is the first motor oil tu give constant lubricating efficiency—to keep a uniform and proper body throughout its service. Iso-Vis is the constant viscosity motor oil—and if you'll try it once you’ll learn just how much that means! At any Standard Oil Service Station and at licensed garages. Standard Oil Company .

FlohY, there were many and varied idea* n* to the part it might play in marketing farm produce. Borno per­ sons declared thnt it would solve the fnrm tnnrkcting problem. There has been a continued nnd slowly increasing volume of marketing by this method, he say*, but the quantity of farm pro­ ducts passing through tho postal serv­ ice ha* not reached tho proportion* ex­ pected by the enthusiast* and.Is a rela­ tively small part of the total market­ ings of farm produe.t*. The department's new bulletin in­ clude* information on the parcel post regulations and requirement*, the ways and means of mailing contact between Erodueer* and euatomere, the necessary urines* attitude and tnansgement -of the business, sad the factor* limiting parcel post marketing. The possibili­ ties of parcel post marketing arc di*-u*«cd in detail for a long Iftt of com­ modities, including fruit* sad vege­ tables, poultry, eggs, meats, butter, cheese, eream sod milk, mushroom*, aula and nut meats, syrups, honey, plant*, and other farm product*.

Herbert Hoover, in his report for the fiscal year 1927, declare* thnt tho rate of real wage* Ip the United fltate* dur­ ing that period ‘‘remained higher than anywhere else in the world, or in uoy other lime in world history.” Hr declare* that this high level of prosperity was the result of a general nnd iH-rninnent progress, based on sound fundamentals, giving reason for the be­ lief that satisfactory conditions will continue. Industry Ip* made great strides in efficirney, accompanied by the mainten­ ance of high wage level* without rise of price levels. There hn* been stcadr de­ velopment in transportation facilities, and wo have maintained a commanding position in foreign trade, while the fi­ nancial structure of the country is iu a sound condition. Altogether, Secretary Hoover’s report shows that the country is in a satis­ factory condition. On the other hand It point* out miffiricnt “low spots” so that wo should not become earcleu through overconfidence.

He had never sold le*» than 91,000 worth of pork per year until the .corn borer became rampant in hi* neighborhood. * Before the ndvent of the corn borer, Weaver had always fed about 100 pig*, besides about 16 head of beef cattle. But borer damage to hi* corn crop has compelled him to reduce the number of hog* to 26 nnd ho believe* that he will also have to decrease the number of produced enough com to feed his stock. Hi* usual wetea go ran from 30 to 35 ncrcs. In 1020, due to eorn borer dam­ age, he reduced hi* corn aercntfe to six. nnd in 1927, to three nnd one-half nnd more alfalfa, oat*, and barley have been substituted in the place of coni.

Important Announcement to every owner of a Model T Ford ON MAY 25, 1927, when Henry Ford first announced his plans for making a new car, he announced also that he would continue to make parts for the Model T Ford. He said: "The Model T Ford car was a pioneer. It blazed the Way for the motor industry and started the movement for good roads everywhere. It broke down the barriers of distance in rural sections, brought people in these sections closer together, and placed education within the reach of everyone. We are still proud of the Model T Ford. If we were not, we would not have continued to make it so long.’1 For twenty years, the Model T Ford led the automobile industry and it still serves more people than any other auto­ mobile. Over one-third of all the automobiles in use today are Model T Fords — an indication of the sturdy worth' of the car and its value to people in all walks of life the world over. The Ford Motor Company will continue to make re­ placement parts for these can "until the last Model T is off the road.” That is a part of Ford service. That is what Henry Ford meant when he said: "We believe that when a man buys one of our can we should keep it running for him as long as we can and at the lowest up-keep cost.” Because'of this policy a considerable part of the Ford manufacturing plants is given over to the making of parts for the Model T Ford. These replacement parts are made of the same material and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled. Make it a point, therefore, to see the nearest Ford dealer and have him look over your Model T Ford. You may find that a very small expenditure will enable you to get thou­ sands of miles of additional service, and at the same time protect the money you have invested in your car. “Every time I tile I hud terrible >Iuui.-k Ii gnr.

And, behold, there was a greatjxirthquake; for the angel of the Lord de­ scended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the“door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that, he is risen from the dead; and, be­ hold, he goeth before into Galilee; there shall ye see him; Io, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and diil run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid; go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying. Say ye. His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. . So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is com­ monly reported among the Jews until this day. 1 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they wor­ shipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Fa­ ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: * Teaching them to observe all things whaLsover I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

As an illustration: The standard price of Klenzp Dental Creme is 50c, you buy a tube at this price and by pay­ ing I cent more, or 51 cents, you get two tubes. Every article in this sale is a high class standard piece of merchandise, just the. same as is sold every day at the regular price. This sale was developed by the United Drug Co. as an advertising plan. Rather than spend large sums of money in other ways to convince you of the merit of these goods, they are spending it on this sale in permitting us to sell ypu a full size package of high standard merchandise for I cent.

COMMANDER $1495 “ 2&DOO MILES in less than 23.000 MINUTES OU may have wanted to own The Commander, but felt you could not afford it You may not know that, due to Stu­ debaker’s One-Profit facilities of manufacture, you can now buy this World's Champion car at the exceptional price of-$1495, f. o. b. factory. At this low, One-Profit price The Commander not only repre­ sents a value unequaled in auto­ mobile history, but its upkeep is equally economical. In 61 tests conducted in 61 cities the country over,The Com­ mander averaged 17% miles to the gallon of gas—economical to operate! And factory repair parts sales for Studebaker cars during 1927 were less than $8 per car in operation—low maintenance! The world champion stamina of The Commander was spectacu­ larly proved when two stock Commanders each traveled 25,000 miles in less than 23,000 consec­ utive minutes. Nothing else on earth ever ran so far so fasti Remember—you pay no pre­ mium for this Championship performance in this Studebaker quality car. The Commander at $1495, f. a b. factory, is not only the greatest achievement of post war automotive engineering, but motordom's biggest value!

We take this opportunity to thank our many patrons for their response to our untiring efforts to make the Strand a real show place in the community. It is unbelievable to imagine the many improvements that have been made in so short a time. It will take many years to repay all these added touches yet it is only characteristic in the amusement business to ever strive to please and.play a part in the upbuilding of a real character building program and if we have served you well—we are very happy and in celebration of this event we art offering an attractive pro­ gram for this special week.

Model T Fords are still in active service FOR nearly twenty years, the Model T Ford led the motor industry and it still is used by mere people than any other automobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in active service today—an indication of their sturdy worth, reliability and economy Because of the. tremendous investment which people have in these cars and because so many of them will be driven for two, three, and even five more years, the Ford Motor Company will continue to make replacement parts until, as Henry Ford himself says, "the last Model T is off the road For the Ford Motor Company has always believed that its full duty consists not only in making a good automobile at a low price, but also in keeping it running efficiently for you as long as possible at a minimum of expense. No matter where you hve, therefore, you can still buy Model T Ford parts with the same assurance as formerly, knowing that they will give you the kind of service you have a right to expect, and at the same time protect the money you have invested in your car All Ford replacement parts, as you may know, are made of the same materials and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled, aud are low in price because of the established Ford policy. So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T Ford over the longest period of tune, we suggest that you take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him esti mate on the cost of any replacement parts which may be necessary. You may find that a very small expenditure will maintain the value of your car and will be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional service* ford Motor Company Detroit, Michigan �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY.

I. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, IMS Better and Stronger Than Ever 42 Years of Financial Growth and Reliability Michigan’s banking laws are justly regarded as the model for the whole country. They require this and every other state bank to be examined twice each yearJay the disinterested examiners of the State Bank­ ing Department; also twice each year by a committee of the directors of the bank. Both must make sworn reports of the actual conditions they find, showing the resources as well as the liabilities of ihe bank on the days when the examinations are made. These sworn reports are made to the board of directors, also to the State Banking Department. As they are made on oath, they must represent the actual condition of the bank on the date selected for the examination. The State Banking Department never notifies a bank when it will send its examiners to make their semi-annual examination. Last week two examiners dropped in on this bank, and spent the usual time at their work. They counted the cash, looked over and passed upon the value of every note, mortgage, bond and every kind of security owned by this bank. They checked up all our books. When they were through, what they found was, as usual, put into a statement which is given to this bank and to the Department at Lan­ sing. They compfeted their work last week for April 9, 1928. Their re­ port of the actual condition of this bank on that date is given below: STATEMENT APRIL 9, 1928 RESOURCES LOANS AND DISCOUNTS$639,960.74 BONDS AND MORTGAGES 492,132.96 BANKING OFFICE 35,000.00 FURNITURE AND FIXTURES .... 11,480.00 OVERDRAFTS............................................... . 1,922.13 CUSTOMER’S LIBERTY BONDS .... 34,150.00 CASH ON HAND AND DUE FROM BANKS 152,954.89 U.

This bank is in close touch with investment markets for all kinds of securities. Whenever we can aid any customer with information concerning securities in which he or she is or may be interested, we are glad to give our service, and it is always a confidential matter. For more than a generation this institution has been doing busi­ ness in Hastings. It has grown steadily, met every demand promptly, has given helpful and courteous service to all patron?, and has given substantial aid in the development of this community and county. We conceive that to be our function as a bank. We are here for service.

These sworn reports are made to the board of directors, also to the State Banking Department. As they are made on oath, they must represent the actual condition of the bank on the date selected for the examination. Michigan’s banking laws are justly regarded as the model for the whole country. They require this and every other state bank to be examined twice each year by the disinterested examiners of the State Bank­ ing Department; also twice each year by a committee of the directors of the bank. Both must make sworn reports of the actual conditions they find, showing the The State Banking Department never notifies a bank when it will send its examiners to make their semi-annual examination. Last week two examiners dropped in on this bank, and spent the usual time at their work. They counted the cash, looked over and passed upon the value of every note, mortgage, bond and every kind of security owned by this bank. They checked up all our books. When they were through, what they found was, as usual, put into a statement which is given to this bank and to the Department at Lan­ sing. They completed their work last week for April 9, 1928. Their re­ port of the actual condition of this bank on that date is given below: STATEMENT I HASTINGS crrxj^^ APRIL 9, . 1928 $639,960.74 LOANS AND DISCOUNTS 492,132.96 BONDS AND MORTGAGES 35,000.00 BANKING OFFICE 11,480.00 FURNITURE AND FIXTURES . . . . 1,922.13 OVERDRAFTS 34,150.00 CUSTOMER’S LIBERTY BONDS . . . . 152,954.89 CASH ON HAND AND DUE FROM BANKS 47,500.00 U.

AskYourself These Ques THEN DO A LITTLE THINKING The trouble With too many of us is that we do not give enough consider­ ation to our financial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, think­ ing that things "will come'out all right anyway." Each year finds us no bet­ ter off than we were the year before; the years fly by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it-is that we face the specter of old age; without income and without means. Thia little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOUR­ SELF these questions “DO I KNOW MY FINANCIAL CONDITION? “AM I GETTING AHEAD, JUST KEEPING EVEN OR AM I RUNNING IN DEBT?” We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition. Open a Savings Account with us and add to it as much as you can each week or month. At the end of the FIRST YEAR you will see how EASY it is to GET^AHEAD and KEEP AHEAD.

A* tho time m-ars, it seem* apparent that Secretary Herbert Hoover will bo the republican candidato and Governor Al Hmith of New Yorh the democratic. At this writing the pro*|5eet* look more favorable for Mr. Hoover than for Gov­ ernor Hmith.

In the Book-of-the-Month Club, conducted along similar lino* one at least hn* the privilege of returning the bonk and making another choice whieh eertninly has if* advantage*. Mr.'Benmtt, author of "The Van­ guard" is the author of over*flfty vol­ umes, including novels, .plays, essays nnd Irook* of travel. HI* first book “A Man From the North" wns pobllabed in 1898. Many of hi* starie* «b’al with the life in the "Five Town*"—little village* shunted in close proximity in rural England. Hr I* a fine craftsman nml can make interesting the most eonmanplnce humdrum lives, because of his insight iqULchnraetcr anil motive*.

Mr. Van Doren give* reason* for the Guild choos­ ing thi* l>ook as follows: Arnold Bennett, the most shrewd nnd solid of living English novelists, hn* written in ".The Vanguard" a de­ lightful specimen of perfectly modern ro nut nee. the twentieth century to gr> prowling through the Middle Ages on the hunt for witches nnd werewolves, alchemist* nnd hollow mountain*. They, however, nre really character* nnd pro;>crtie* in­ herited. from medieval romances, from n time when renders more or les* be­ lieved that such thing* existed or might exist. It wns not the partictflqr charnetern nnd pro;>ertlc« in a story, of course, whieh ninde it exciting, but thi-"“jtyr*enre there of the element of magic whieh permitted readers, with no effort la-yond thnt of wishing nnd imagining, tn have whnt they wanted in the way of seven-league boots, eoats of dark­ ness, irresistible swords and flying home*. Mr. Bonnett, writing his modern ro­ mance, might have brushed up such ancient objects of desire for his use, but he preferred instead tq employ mod­ ern one* nnd to show them being sought by modern men nnd women. Yet this should blind no render to tho fact that "The Vanguard" is full of eternal mngic, whereby once ngnin various neat miracle* an- accomplished, I^>rd Furber is virtually a mngjrian.

THEN DO A LITTLE THINKING The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough consider­ ation to our financial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, think­ ing that things "will come out all right anyway." Each year finds us no bet­ ter off than we were the year before; the years fly-by; gray hairs commence to show; health commences to fail; sickness comes to the family. Then it is that we face the specter of old age; without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That’s a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED YOUR­ SELF these questions: “DO I KNOW MY FINANCIAL CONDITION?’ “AM I GETTING AHEAD, JUST KEEPING EVEN OR AM I RUNNING IN DEBT?” | There were 1,1119,-413 men and boy* in the Boy Heout Organisation in 1927.

If you nre taking a motor trip this year, dismiss all these long "haul.” from your tentative program. Know your state. For example, De­ troit Is the fourth city in the United States.

And not one, but two Dictator Road­ sters, fully equipped, each traveled 5,000 miles in less than that number of minutes. The run was made at the Atlantic City Speedway, April 20-23, under the super­ vision of the Contest Board of the Amer­ ican Automobile Association.

Protect Your Investment in Your Model T Ford THE Ford Motor Company is making a new car, but it is still proud of the Model T. It wants every owner of one of these can to run it as long as possible at a minimum of expense. Because of this policy and because of the investment that millions of motorists have in Model T can, the Ford Motor Company will continue to make parts until, as Henry Ford himself says, ’’the last Model T is ofll the road.” More than eight million Model T Fords are still in active service, and many of them can be driven for two, three and five yean and even longer. So that you may get the greater use over the longest period of time at the lowest cost, we suggest that you take your Model T Ford to the nearest Ford dealer and have him give you an estimate on the cost of any replacement parts that may be necessary. small expenditure may enable you to maintain or increase the value of the car and give you thousands of miles of additional service. No matter where you live you can get these Ford parts at the same low prices as formerly and know they are made which your car wai originally awetnbled. . Labor coat is reasonable and a standard rate is charged for each operation so that you may know in advance exactly how much the complete job will cost. । Mr. uud Mr*. Char.

Toinsure tho collection of thin $2,300, it wo* made a lien ngainxt the real es­ tate of Mr. St. John, whieh hnd been deeded to Mr. nnd Mrs. linger. Thus according to the circuit court decree the $2,300 became n part of tho estate of Joel St. John whenever It wax paid. Homer Hager <lied a day or so after the decree was.made in tho ease. The payment of*thc $2,300 has, there­ fore, never been made, although the lien for thnt amount ngainxt the land given by Ht. John to the Hagers ia valid nnd enforceable nnd constitutes an es­ tate to that amount. Now Mr*, linger and her daughter, through their attorney, have put in n claim ngainxt the St. John estate for over $3,000 for service* in .raring for him for several years, nnd haw asked that tho hearing of claims in tho St. tablixk their claim* against the estate.

Every coat in the department is in­ cluded in this special selling. Garments bearing the qual­ ity labels of “Wooltex,” “Peggy Paris" and “Ster­ ling” are included. Dress coats and sport coats.

Your vitality, clear skin, sparkling eyes, everything worth while, depends upon your health. In the normal, healthy system, qvery cell, tissue, and gland unites in the natural function of nour­ ishing.'rebuilding. and revitalizing the entire human mechanism. To preserve good health, the cells, tissues and glands must be kept alive and active ... to restore good health is only a matter of re­ charging them and restoring their powers to function. The fact that health may be obtained without the use of drugs ix being brought to the attention of a rapidly increasing number of people, including physicians and scientists, and a number of the latter who are progressive anti advanced thinkers uoncede (hat the time is coming when drugs will have passed into history as one of thOTelic of the dark agRs of the medical arts. “To cure any one part of the body, the entire body must be nor­ malized.” Dr. Richard C. Cabot of the Harvard Medical School says: “We, have listed in medical science 407 different diseases and out of the -107 only 6 are curable by Drugs.” Sir William Osier, one of the founders of Johns Hopkins University, and one of the greatest physicians of all time, says: “Most drugs have no effect upon the disease for which they are intended.” Dr. Oliver Wendell Holme*, father of the U. S.. Supreme Court Justice, stated that, “If all the medicine in the world were thrown into the sea, it would be bad -for the tish and good for humanity.” Dr. George W. Crile declared in his address to the convention in Chicago of the American College of Surgeons: "Man is simply a mechanism run by Electricity.” This form of control of the body activity—ionization—has stood the test of the Surgical Clinic. Back of every disease there is a cause and that cause no drug can reach. When all of the evidence is weighed, the present con­ ditions with reganl to health would seem to constitute almost over­ whelming proof that modern medicine fails to combat chronic ail­ ments effectively. C Dr» George Starr White, M. D., says: "All repair must take place through the blood stream.” “Congestion is always present in any derangement.” AMONG THE MANY AILMENTS THAT HAVE SUCCESSFULLY YIELDED TO THIS NEW TREATMENT ARE: Constipation Headache Neuritis Stomach trouble Nervous breakdown Arthriti* Rheumatism Female trouble Tumor Hemorrhoids Goitre Insomnia Obesity Varicose veins Indigestion Baldness Diabetes Pernicious anemia Sciatica Heart trouble Bronchitis Paralysis Cancer Abscesses Asthma Acidosis Colds Eye troubles High blood pressure Low blood pressure Neuralgia Catarrh Hardening of arteries And now comes the'discovery that we are able to harness the natural force of magnetism with a simple appliance which may be used in your home, and by its means we are able to overcome a great number of physical ailments. This is no dream or far-fetched idea of a visionary. The appliance, named The Battle Creek Health R>y, makes available a form of energy that is known, and its effects in the treatment of thousands of cases have been proven in a prac­ tical way by its application in thejiome. It has relieved the suffer­ ing of those who were hopelessly shackled by chronic diseases and placed on the road to health those iwho had been unable to find relief from their ills through other methods of treatment. The Battle Creek Health Ray applies magnetic energy in such manner that wasted morbid matter in the cells of the body are “burned up or oxidized and eliminated from the tissues. The chan­ nels for the blood are opened up and as the blood is the life-stream of the body anything that is conducive to its circulation will provide for more life and energy. Those who a rd broken down in health, ■ lacking either the desire or physical power to carry on with their dally routine, will very quickly respond to this form of energy.

And That la to SA VE IT by Entrusting It to the Safe Keeping of Some Responsible Banking Institution, so it Can’t 'Burn Holes in Your Pockets it’s always well to have something laid up for a "raipy day." The "rainy day” of sickness, adversity, or hard times is pretty sure to come to every man at some time in his life. Too often it comes when advanc­ ing age makes it hardest to meet. Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, "Oh, if 1 had only saved my money when I had a chance." You can start saving by depositing a very small amount—only a dollar or two —and add to it as rapidly as possible. You can be assured that when you leave your money here it will be free from every ele­ ment of chance, or speculation, and it will be available for you any time you wish it. "STEADY SAVING"—putting away a portion of your earnings as fast as you re­ ceive it—wilTsbon put you in possession of a snug sum, and the interest we pay you EVERY SIX MONTHS is just like "find­ ing money." It will be a start toward "Easy Street," and where the "rainy day" has no terror. Why not start saving NOW? WHY NOT TODAY!

O There! — a gleaming eye blinks out of the night, slicing the horizon and sweep­ ing the heavens with its majestic glance. It’s the sky eye! — light of the airport, watching through the night. Finding it, voyageurs of the air drift down its bright path to safety and rest. So does Electricity find a new way to serve man. Electric Light and Power, since their be­ ginning have been in the van of civilized progress. Now as lhe new caravan forms — like pioneers of earlier eras — comes the call for a guide into new realms. So comes the guide—Sky Eye—and marks the trail as skyward wings the course of empire.

It is ■ matter of common knowledge that in the last ten yeara the price of gasoline has advanced less than that of any other commodity in general Use, although the demand for It has Increased far more than die demand for nny of the others. The supply of gasoline has been famished when and where it was needed so faithfully that the fact is taken for granted. This record of stability has been made by an inistry in which costa of production have risen Within the put dozen years more than S750r DOO.OOO wu expended in the U. S. in drilling dry holes and $500,000,000 more wu put into wells that produced m little oil aa to turn the investment into a heavy deficit. These statistics emphasize the achievement of the oil industry in furnishing a complete and continuous supply of petroleum products at comparatively stable prices. The average cost of drilling a well in 1913 was The of ■ wtl1 last year waa m72S—or nearly 300 per cent more. Against thia kground of rapidly rising coats, consider the JiLty of the price of gasoline which over the first seven months of 1927 was only 12 per cent more than before the war I This achievement of the oil industry has been made possible by efficiency of operation. Science fans been to improve methods, reduce waste and oss. The cost of exploration has been reduced by means of the torsion balance, the seismograph and the magnetometer. Methods have been efevfeed for increastag the recovery of gasoline from the crude oil and from natural gas. The oil industry has made such progress In itandardising the equipment used In the production of oil that according to a government bureau it lias advanced more in two years than any other industry In twenty year*. Back of the steady stream of gasoline (hat give* Hfe to millions of motor vehictea is an omaxlng record of difficulties wrmounted. of risks under­ taken, of tremendous resources at work.

You can have that kind of road all season by putting on the clean, moisture absorbing flakes, called Dowflake. They draw moisture from the air—hold it in the road surface for months. Let moisture—Dowflake produced —be your clean, odorless, dust preventer. Petition your officials for dustless roads. Your neighbors will help you.

About five years ago research workers in America established that an alternating electro-magnetic field quickens metbolism — the process of tearing down old tissue and rebuilding new. Ip recent years this work has been confirmed and greatly elaborated. THE BATTLE CREEK HEALTH RAY was conceived . as a practical and inexpensive means of applying this form of energy to the human body. Main results ob­ served in thousands of cases, are: FIRST, increased oxidization with consequent elimi­ nation of the waste matter that causes ill health; SEtOND, induced energy in tho nervous system and other cell structure; THIRD, dilation of the small blood vessels, with con­ sequent improvement in circulation; FOURTH, more rapid formation of new, healthy tissues. While THE BATTLE CREEK HEALTH llAY is in no sense a cure-all, there are on record throughout the country thousands of written statements from men and women—whose reputation for veracity is unimpeach­ able, attesting to the value of this electro-magnetic ray as an efficient therapeutic agent for suffering hu­ manity, Neuritis and High Blood Pressure about three weeks’ use the Rheu­ matism and Lumbago are entire- Rheumatism, Poor Circu­ lation, Headaches pain and feel fine."

It’s always well to have something laid up for a "rainy day.” The “rainy day” of sickness, adversity, or hard times is pretty sure to come to every man at some time in his life. Too often it comes when advanc­ ing age makes it hardest to meet. Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, “Oh, if 1 had only saved my money when I had a chance.” .1(5 WARRANTY DEEDS. George H. Eddy nnd wife tn Harry H.

Carelessness In small things leads to carelessness in larger affair* aud like­ wise the earcful -handling of small amount* of money fits one for the great­ er and larger responsibilities of life. ■ One of our most successful business men ha* said: “Early in lift/ when a poor boy, I formed the habit of jotting down a record of every penny I spent. Thia taught me the value of system and frugality. I soon.found myself able to save n little money. As I grew I de­ veloped habits of general thrift from this simple beginning, and, with a small amount of capital thus available when I reached the age of maturity, I was able to take advantage of opportunities that led to subsequent mccess.” With completion of tho Barry county highway between Yankee Springs nnd Middleville, work on which han been be­ gun, another route between Knlamnxoo nnd Grand Rapids, following tho old stage road between tho two elticn. will be available for travel. The road will be of gravel. It extends between Yankee Springs tavern site and Middcville, where it joint tho Hantinga-Orand Rapida trunk line.

New fenders, for instance, cost from 0.50 to 0 each, with a labor charge of 0 to ,0.50. Tuning up the motor and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points costs only 0, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor charge of only 0.25. A labor charge of 0 to 0 will cover the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing spring* and spring perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheels. The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle runs from 0.75 to ^7. Grinding valves and cleaning carboa can be done for 0 to 0. A set of four new pistons costs only 0. For a labor charge of 00 to 05 you can have your motor and transmiauon completely overhauled. Parts are extra. . All of these prices are approximate, of course, because the cost of materials heeded will depend on the condedoa of each car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model T Ford in shape for thousands of miles of additional service. Sudan grass makes a good emergency pasture crop. When sown the last of May, it will bo ready for pasture in July. The seed ia drilled at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. A drill acre will sow the required amount of Sudan gras* seed. For hog or sheep pasture, rape is a satisfactory crop. From three to five pounds of seed to the acre is required. If the field I* divided so that the stock ean be shifted from one part to anoth­ er, the crop will furnish good forage until late in the fall.

Don’t think dust is a necessary nuisance. Know how to secure positive control of toad dust—get our booklet “How to Control Dust”. The book describes the simple Dowflake method of road maintenance by dust preven­ tion. Simply explained, it tells you how to keep dust bound to the road surface and Jower maintenance costs. Don’t confuse Dowflake with the smelly, stick? preparations that track into your home*, sod your rugs. Dust'control by such methods usu­ ally makes it impossible to do anything with This Book I jells How! But Dowflake is a clean, white, odorless flake that draws moisture out of the air, holds it in the road surface for iponths and poddvely controls dust with the moisture it draws. * THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY I- THM DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY । I MIDLAND, MICHIGAN ‘ BsWwdsSAsOlkWf d ‘ Marshall Pierce planted corn last Thuvaday. .

Built Like A Thermos Bottle Pour hot coffee into a ther­ mos bottle—and it stays hot. Heat water in this special water heater, and it stays hot. The thermos bottle, and this water heater are both built on the same principle. Q That explains in part the amazing efficiency and low cost operation of the heater. Q By complete insulation the cold is sealed out, and the heat sealed in. That mean* that the gas burned heats only the water in the tank and not the air around the tank.

According to H. C. Moore, uf the farm rroiw department, these arc three dihea*e» that reduce yield* and in­ jure the market quality of-potatoes in Michigan. Tho fir»t step in the treatment of thu seed stock, according to Mr. Moure, ia to be sure that the potatoes arc free from dirt. Thu seed should be soaked for 30 minutes in a solution of four ounces of eorroaiyc sublimate to 30 gal­ lons of water. - The corrosive subli­ mate should be dissolved in a quart of hot water. then added to the cold wa­ ter. Wooden barrel* or tank/ should lie used in tho seed treatment work. Tu maintain the strength of tho solu­ tion, add one ounce of corrorivo subli­ mate, dlMolvcd in hot water, to each 30 gallons of the solution after treating two batches of seed. The seed should be treated while it is dormant and before it is cut. Tho treating can be done several weeks be­ fore planting time and tho treated po tatocs can be stored in crates in a ruotn thnt is cool and light. Corrosive sublimate is a deadly poison nnd should to kept out Of thu reach of children and livestock. The treated *ecd should never bo used for food pur­ poses. . Special Bulletin 125 gives n full de­ scription, of the treatment. The fact .that your home is located where there is no city gas serv­ ice need not deprive you of the convenience of gas.

Today that is all changed and when it comes to buying a home they want a small, compact cottage—something easy to keep, and economi­ cal operate. '' v It’s just the same way in automobiles. The demand to­ day is for smaller cars, easy to operate and economical to run. To meet this demand the Willys-Overland Co. has just put on the market the NEW WHIPPET SIX, that sells for $820 DELIVERED. It has a power plant that has already surpassed the existing 24-hour records for cars under $1000. That, of itself, proveg its QUALITY CON­ STRUCTION and the most careful attention to ENGI­ NEERING DETAILS. The notable departure in the construction features of this new WHIPPET SIX is the incorporation of the SEVEN-BEARING CRANK­ SHAFT. This new Whippet Six id the FIRST car among the lowerpriced Sixes that includes this feature. The nearest priced SIX with a seven-bearing crankshaft sells for $150 more than Willys-Overland’s New Whippet Six. Here are some other features of the New Whippet Six: FULL FORCE FEED LUBRICATION To Al! Main and Connecting Rod Bearing*. INVAR-STRUT PISTONS FOUR-WHEEL BRAKES LOW CENTER GRAVITY CONSTRUCTION Thia provide* maximum road stability at every speed range. \ UNUSUALLY ROOMY INTERIORS Comfortable for drivers and passengers. At this writing we have one of the New Whippet Sixes on our dis­ play flooi. It probAbly will not be there long.' For this reason we cor­ dially invite anyone thinking of buying a car to call and see the New Whippet Six- It’s the BEST VALUE on the market HASTINGS OVERLAND CO.

June 29. at 8:16 fast time, when they will be privileged to hear the famous Tuskegee Alabama Quartette. These colored singers have no doubt been heard by many of our . readers over the radio. They have wonderful voices. The entertainment which they will give wiU be delightful. This en­ tertainment wiU be at the Methodist church on the evening In question. There will be no admission charge, but an offering will be taken, which it is ho; rd may be liberal. We are sure that there is not a more useful educational institution in this or anv other country than the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute nt Tusk egee, Alabama, which was founded by Booker T. Washington for the training of colored young men and women. This quartette represents the pick of a large number of colored singers in Tuskegee Institute and they will give an Inspirational entertainment. The proceeds will, of course, go to help with the Initiate Itself, or to help some worthy colored students to get through that institution. It will, therefore, be well worth whatever gift one feels like making for the entertainment, when one realizes what Uie good purpoee> is for which the proceeds of ths. enter­ tainment will go. The entire offering will be given to the quartette. . TO HASTINGS VOTERS: HAVE YOU REGISTERED?

The board plans to meet such and liberally of their time, their talents building requirements adequately and and their substance in furthering the without a bond issue in the manner we Kingdom. Those who missed the servthen explained. ice Sunday evening missed a treat. But the board Is doing more than that, as we shall show. It to protect­ ing the investment which we already have in our new High school building. While the original coat of that building was about 8110.000, it could not be dup­ licated today for 8250.000. Another 835.000 would have to be added to cover the cost of the furnishings. The school board has been carrying Insurance on this building for 8213.000. with 810.000 more on the contents. The rule has been 55c on the 8100 for this 8223.000. or an annual premium of 81.226.50 to carry this insurance. It can be realized that thia has been some­ thing of a burden. Really the insur­ ance should be increased to fully 8250.­ 000. which would require an annual premium of 81375 in order that there might be a sufficient coverage on our High school plant The board has felt, and we think Justly.athat the district could not afford to take the chance nt the rate of 55c on Uie 8100. of having the High ‘ school building destroyed completely and then findfhat Its in­ surance was not nearly large enough to cover the loss, and so another bond Issue would be required In order to duplicate the plant. Inevitably, if1 we had to bond the city for 8100.000 in or­ der to restore that plant, which might easily be the case If It were not ade­ quately Insured, the fact that we had to Issue thou bonds would inevitably de­ lay for many years the erection of the much needed new grade buildings on the central grounds, and would be a hardship to the citizens of Hastings.

June 18—Demonstra­ tion "bull pens." planned to acquaint farmers of the stale with an inexpen­ sive method of building equipment to retain the animals safely, will be con­ structed in various counties this sum­ mer by extension specialists from the Michigan State College. Serious injuries, and even fatalities, are not uncommon In handling herd sires, and It is claimed that the new type of pen will eliminate a large share of the danger. The herd sire Is considered largely the measure by which the rapidity of building up a herd can be gauged, and the only way that the worth of a bull can be determined is by the type and production of his progeny. Many fann­ ers will not keep a bull until his worth Is proved, due to their reluctance to re­ tain an animal which becomes an in­ creasing menace as he becomes older. It te here that the new safety pen will prove most valuable. The pens will be located on the farms of Paul Cridler, Middleville; Fred A. Smith. Rutland; Robert Cook. Has­ tings; H. P. Barringer. Ray Center; Charles Themm. Armada; John Clark. Caro; Edward Wateon. Hemlock; and J. C. Hollenbeck, Barrien Springs. One of the jiens will be built in Branch county on a farm to be selected by the county agricultural agent.

But there arc certain things that we cannot choose. They are Just facts in life. One of them is the color of our skin. We haven't any reason to pride ourselves on being Caucasians. We couldn't help it. We were born so. Then he told the story of Booker T. Washington, how this man. who had been humiliated In so many ways be­ cause there was a little negro blood In his vein* came, because of his work for his race, to a point where he fervently thanked God that there was negro blood in him. because that enabled him to help the poor and the underpriv­ ileged of his race. He said that was very much like Christ who. when con­ fronted with death and the horror which a healthy man would naturally feel for such a death os that on the cross, could say: "Nevertheless, not as I will but as Thou wiliest." He said we couldn't choose about being bom. There arc many things that we cannot determine about our existence. Wc liave no choice about them whatever. He said that there was one other matter that he knew young people did not like to have discussed. Yet he felt .sure that wc all must face it, because it is a fact of life. We can't choose about death; and is it not wise, therefore, to get ready for the thing that we cannot dodge? Why refuse to see Ute end from the beginning? Should we not think about it. decide that we will try to face that issue of our life decently?

He had made a fine record and a fine reputation In his chosen profes­ sion and Is a successful business man. He filled Ulis difficult position with tact, enlivening his remarks with sal­ lies of wit that were spontaneous and heartily appreciated. His Introduc­ tions of the persons on the. program were humorous and dejlghtful. “Aviation" was the central theme of the program. The toastmaster intro­ duced William O. Bauer, of the Class of 1891. as the "Professional Pilot" It became his duty to welcome Uie Class of 1928 into the association and to im­ part to Uiem some faUierly advice, which it.will be well worth their while not only to remember but to follow. The Uierne "Cadet Flyer” was given to Dewayne Pugh of the Class of 1928. If Mr. Pugh shall be as successful in piloting himself through life os he was in his response to this toast, success will surely come to him In good meas­ ure. There followed a beautiful vocal so­ lo by Mrs. Floyd Walton, of the Class of 1922. This was so heartily encored that she graciously sang another selec­ tion. The "Take Off." In Uie history ot the airship, was given by Mrs. Robert W. Cook of the Class of 1905. The re­ sponse was replete with wit. good sense and fine sentiment. There followed a marimba solo by Richard Waite of the Class of 1927. So pleased were the alumni that Mr. Waite was compelled to respond to two encores and had It not been for the lateness of the hour there would prob­ ably have been more. We are very certain that there never has been heard at an alumni gathering such an unique response as Albert Becker, of the High school faculty, gave to his sentiment, which was "Forced Landing." If Mr. Becker can write with such droll humor and wit which characterizes his off-hand talks al such gatherings os this, he certainly ought to gain the reputation of a Mark Twain or a Will Rogers; for he surely Is witty. It isn't the kind of sarcastic wit that rubs It into some­ body, but just pure drollery and fun. Be proud of your home Perhaps your house needs a coat or two of good paint.

The widespread public interest in recent events affecting the Chrysler Corporation and Dodge Brothers, Inc., deserves an authentic and offi­ cial statement and an assurance regarding the future of these two corporations. Subject to the approval of stockholders, Dodge Brothers, Inc., will be acouired by the Chrysler Corporation, the plan of amalgamation hav­ ing been recommended by their respective boards of directors.' Each of these great institutions will retain its identity, and will continue, as heretofore, to produce and market its own product in accord­ ance with the high and progressive standards from which motor car buyers the world over have previously benefited. Each will benefit from the consummation of apian which unites such tremendous resources in material, manufacturing facilities, fin andal power and manufacturing genius. Dodge Brothers will continue to be Dodge Brotners, and Chrysler will be Chrysler.Their products will be separate and distinct and will be continued in production without interrup­ tion. Their sales organizations will be unre­ lated except as they shall mutually share in the advantages of the consolidation. . Both public and dealers may look forward to the greater benefits which the consolidation of such tremendous resources will produce— and the men identified with these businesses may be assured of a stable and definite future, inspired by the progressiveness which has been responsible for this uniting of two great companies.

My country owes me no debt. Il gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. Il gave me schooling. independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheri­ tance or influential friends look for­ ward with unbounded hope. Recall* Past Honora.

You will search in vain for a longer or more brilliant record of service than Buick’s. Two million Buicks have proved Buick value on the road. More than a million and a half, still in service, attest Buick stamina. Every Buick has—as “regular equipment,”—power in excess of any need, beauty and luxury beyond compare —and a degree of dependability which has long been traditional.

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) HASTINGS, MICHIGAN Among the old letters of many fuinIlie*, arc hundreds of very rare stamps and envelopes. Many have been found and sold for fortunes. Single envelopes have been sold for as high us $6,000. and many have brought. upwards of $100 each. It sounds “flshy," but it's true. They arc valuable because they arc rare. And they are rare, not be­ cause there arc only a few. but simply because most of them have remained stored away and forgotten, in oitf trunks, family chests and closets. Make a thorough search through your attic or store room for such old letters —anything mailed from 1845 to 1865. Fortunes in rare stain jib have been found In old trunks which no one ever dreamed contained anything of value. Keep the letters if you wish, but send the envelopes to Mr. Harold C. BnxJ^s. Box 328. Marshall. Michigan, nnd he will im­ mediately write you. stating their value. In sending them to him you arc not. obliged to sell unless his offer meets with your approval. Anything not pur­ chased lie will return in good order. Mr. Brooks. who is mayor of hte city, is a ' private collector and haspaid thousands of dollars for old envelopes bearing HtamjJ*. Although the rare issues nre especially desired he also buys many of the commoner kinds. Many people in this way arc getting extra money with very little trouble and no expense. I The First National Bank of Marshall. MIsh.. writes: "Mr. Brooks has been in business here for twenty years. You will make no mistake when yoiLrecotnmend him to your readers as worthy of the fullest confidence, both financially and lirponnlly." Mr Brooks states that there arc m> many different stamps which are i-lmi, inr in appearance he cannot quote values from written descriptions, but must sec the envelopes, Furthcnporc. lie te not interested in buying loose stamps or stamp collections, but only the old en­ velope* bearing postage; so do not cut' the Stamps from the envelopes, Il te not necessary to write dales onenvclojies as Mr. Brooks Is fully acquainted with all issues even though the postmark shows no year date. Those especially wanted are United Slates issues, but he also buys Confederate. Canadian. Hawaiian, and certain foreign stamps provided they are on the original envelopes and mailed not later than 1865 If envelopes are sent in a bunch they should be carefully packed in a card­ board box to protect them from damage while in the mails. If you have reason to believe your envelopes are of special value send them by registered or insured mail. If you have no old letters written during or before the Civil War. show this notice to your friend*—especially those whose families have lived In the same home for ' several generation*. Many old families, old banks and law firms still have stored away hundred* of letter*, walling to be burned or sold for large sum*. Before destroying such en­ velopes or folded letters, ihvtsiigate their value. Mr. Brooks' address* IS as follows: HAROLD C BROOKS. Adv. Box 338, Marshall, Mich. L. T. O.

We would say the district would be about eight miles in length, varying in width from one mile to two miles, possibly more In places. A few yean ago this entire district was referred to as Gun marsh. There would be limes when it would be diffi­ cult for anybody to get across it in the spring, when the sluggish Gun river over-flowed. There was considerable splendid timber on the swamp, but this was later cut off. Nothing could be done with this wonderful muck land unUl it could.be drained. There was for yean objection to having a drain constructed because It was feared it would lower the level of Gun lake and ruin it aa a resort lake. Al length the people who were interested In having this large area of splendid muck land developed were able to Insure the main­ taining of the level of the lake. They stood ready to pay any damage to the lake property that might result from the drain. Since then, at the outlet of the lake, a cement dam haa been con­ structed and a splendid road has been made along the southern shore of the lake. The muck dried out and the weight of the dirt on the roadway has pressed It down to such an extent as to have the effect of a dirt dam. so that It is assured that the level of Gun lake will not be lowered. When the Gun river drain was first made It was not permitted to come within a half a mile of the lake.

There will be opportun­ ities for play for the children and it will not be wearisome, but will be very enjoyable for them. They will be taught nothing of a denominational character. It will be entirely nondenomlnatlonal. as it should be. Children Win be made familiar with facts about the Bible and be taught certain funda­ mental teachings that will help very much In the formation of character. We are sure that the peoplftof this dty. who are the parents of the children, will realize that they can do nothing finer for their children than to send them to this vacation Bible school. No tuition charge for it whatever. They will be taught lessons that they never can forget. In this connection we think it will be worth considering that a survey of men who have been sent to the prisons of this country for crime, reveals the fact that over 94 percent of the inmates had never attended Sunday school or Bible school and that less than six percent had ever attended Sunday school or Bible school. With such statistics as these It seems as if every parent ought to be glad to have the child or chil­ dren attend this Vacation Bible school. Those who are Interested can call Mrs A. L.

It was through their efforts that tiie attention of the l»eoplc of Michigan was directed to the large number of deformed children whose live* would be blighted if they were neglected and most of whom could be greatly helped by means of proper surgical and medical treatment. The work of Rotary revealed so large a number of such cases in Michigan that it became evident that such an organi­ zation could not begin to do the work that ought u> be done, but enough was accomplished so that the attention of the slate legislature was called to the mutter. Wlien the facts were presented to that body, a law was enacted provid­ ing for state aid. first for carrying on clinics for crippled children, and for providing a way in whldi relief meas­ ure* could be brought to people who arc not able to pay the expense themselves.

Anyone who was present at Ihte clinic, observing lhe deformities of the children that were brought there and the limit to their activities in life caused by such deformities, could not but feel keen sympathy for these chil­ dren and liunkfulness that they or the members of their families were not thus afflicted.

Late in the afternoon, when he learned of the finding of the empty boat by the son of the proprietor of the Morgan Park Re­ sort he was greatly worried. Exam­ ination revealed lhe fact that there was In that boat the rod and reel which Eu­ gene Pond had brought with him. They were identified as belonging to him. The rod with attached reel lay in lhe bottom of the boat and the broken fish line was still connected with the rod. It was an unusually heavy line, and there must have been a considerable of a pull to have broken it. It is thought that possibly the young man went put very early in the boat casting and that a "muskle" may have grabbed his bait. Possibly Ford tried to reel him in. but discovered that that couldn't be done with a muskle. Then It Is thought he tried to stand up in the boat and pul) lhe fish In. with the re­ sult that in some way he fell into the lake, where the weeds and mud might have prevented his coming to the sur­ face. and so caused him to drown. This is all conjecture, as no one has any certain knowledge as to what hap­ pened. The general opinion seems to be that his body is somewhere in Thomapple lake. If so it may take a few days for It to rise. His father scouts the idea that Ford left the resort in any manner or for any purpose except to go fishing. He says they had counted on coming to Thomapple for some time and that there is no reason hc can think of why the young man should attempt to run away. Ford has a wife, who had one child by a former marriage, so we are Informed. SOUTH BOWNE. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Blough of Wel­ come Comers were looking after the Interests of their farm here Thursday.

I was super­ intendent of schools in Hastings for a time and my brother followed me In this position for three years. From that time I have always felt a particu­ lar interest in Barry county and am glad of this progressive effort. Some­ times I have wondered how many of the people who learned'to read in tho schools which I supervised have used this ability to keep up with the times, and how many of them Just stopped reading—and growing—because they couldn't easily get books. I have seen in other states how much a good library service means to people in farm homes. California alone has 16 county libraries which service reach­ es every cross road in the counties where they operate. Two hundred and fifty-seven counties in the United States moke appropriations for county library service, some depending on "book-trucks" and the others depend­ ing on branch libraries and volunteer branch-librarians. In these counties the people on farms have an equal chance with tiie people in the towns. They all believe that farm children are. just as much worth developing as town children, and that farm children have Just as much right to a chance to grow as city children have. They believe that farm men and women will read as thoughtfully and as intelligently as city men and women, if given the chance through the county library or the county book­ . trucks. Four counties in Michigan have already established county libraries. I hope that you will see your way clear to provide a book-truck service or a county library of some kind, and I know that If you once establish it. you will find it worth many times the coal. Very sincerely. • P. O. Holden. P. S. I hope Barry county won't stop short of taking books clear to the homes of every farm boy and farm girl as often as every month or six weeks. This is a great step ahead. There can be no doubt of the great benefits that would accrue to the peo­ ple ot Barry county and the larger and better life its people would enjoy if there could be established and main­ tained a county library service that would reach every home tn the county.

Success is usu­ ally a matter of slow growth. The beaver, with his tiny little teeth, gnaws and gnaws until he falls the giant tree. This is all done with one tiny little bite, then another and anoth­ er, until his great work is accomplished.’ The moral is to MAKE EVERY BITE COUNT—just as in your strug­ gle for financial independence, you should MAKE EVERY CENT COUNT. We do not mean for you to be stingy and niggardly, but to "cut comers" every place you can. , The road to "Success" always begins with a Bank Account, and we offer depositors every accommodation consistent with safe, sound banking princi­ ples. Success doesn’t "come to you." You must "reach for it.’’ All it re­ quires is a little more effort and a little more care, and you have it. In the history of this Bank we have started many young men and young women on the road to Success by their opening a bank account with us. May we not be of help to you in the same way?

All forms of pleasures and recreations have a strong appeal to us in the days of our youth and young manhood—and it is natural that it should be so. As a result, no preparation is made to meet fhe days of sickness—and they will come. No consideration is given to the days of unemployment — and they will come. No thought is given to the time when old age will compel cessation from toil ■—and that time will come to all who live. , Young people today should consider these things—and manyof them do. But too many have fallen into the habit of spending their money just as fai' think, make it—and in too many instances just a little faster. Sooner than they they will be facing the situation of "Old Age" with no provision made to meet it. Without needed funds and unable to work, the prospect will not be bright. The wise thing to do, for any young man or young woman, is to SAVE a part of their earnings in the days of their youth. Form the "HABIT” of saving and consistently live up to it. When old nge comes, you know you will be prepared for it. We know of some young men, and young women, in this city who started on the system of SAV­ ING by depositing in this Bank as much as they could each week, or each month. It would surprise you to see some of those accounts today. Why not let us HELP YOU in the same way? For your own good you cannot start any too soon. Call and let us talk it over with you.

This Company Pair 1,583 Loises During the Year of 1927 ’This means that the property of 4,583 owners waa in the way of a cyclone, and was either wholly destroyed or damaged. These property owners felt just as safe about their property not being destroyed as you do this minute. But no one can tell WHEN a cyclone is going to come, or WHERE it is go­ ing to strike. The WISE thing to do, and about the ONLY thing you can do, is to BE PREPARED for it. . • . • If your property should be in the way of a cyclone this year, or any time in lhe future, and your buildings are destroyed or damaged, we hope we may have the pleasure of PAYING THE LOSS.

DO YOU OBJECT TO DUSTY ROADS In spite of the fact that some states are dustproofing almost every mile of gravel and stone highway, there are still some communities that live in a cloud of road dust all summer long. How about your community? Have your officials provided for dustless roads in 1928? Do you object to dusty roads? There is no longer an excuse for road dust because Dowflake, the clean, odorless, dusdayer actually saves its cost by saving the road surface and reducing the cost of maintehance. Be sure, however, when you ask for dust prevention to insist on Dowflake. You need not endure sticky, smelly messes that track into your homes, to have dust control. In fact, they only make it impossible to maintain a road properly after once applied. oibtl 01 ttiatlcATlotf Dowflake is a flaky white substance that gets down to work the minute it goes on the road. It draws moisture right out of the air and melts itself into the road surface, holding the moisture all season. Just clean, plain moisture does the work, giving it the same appearance it has after a light rain, which stays for weeks. The road does not even have to be closed while Dowflake is being applied as it does not stick to cars or injure them. You can get dust control by asking for it—get our book', 44How to Control Dust” It is free. We will also send on request a specimen petition for dust control. x THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY MIDLAND, MICHIGAN Brandi Saba Ofica! 90 Wew Sc, New York Ctty Second and Madboo Screcta, Salat Loob �THE HASTINGS BANNER Wednesday, June 27, 1928 | VISITORS’ DAY AT CAMP CUSTER AUG. 17 When Day is * - Done Home ahould mean comfort —and comfort on ' a hot night demands a warm bath.

CORN BEATS BARLEY IN FEEDING TRIALS Experiment Show, Acre ot Com WUl Fatten More Ltxeitoek Than Acre ot Barley East Laming, June 18—Although barley has proved to be a good substi­ tute for corn as an efficient grain for a fattening ration, a field of corn will fatten many more head of livestock than the same field planted to barley. This te the result of one of lhe most significant of the experiments conduct­ ed by lhe M. 8. C. animal husbandry department which were brought out at Livestock Feeders Day at the college June 14. The steer feeding experiments for 1927-28 showed that steers have re­ turned a good profit this year in spite of high feed costs, which te the reverse of conditions that have existed during the past several years when many feed­ ers have produced beef without profit. The results of a winter swine feeding experiment, made public at Feeders Day. sliowed that hogs housed In port­ able houses which exposed them to low temperatures made greater gains on the same amount of feed than those housed and fed In a bam where the average temperature was much higher It te the belief of Prof. W. E. J. Ed­ wards. under whose supervision the experiment was conducted, that the lack of direct sunlight was largely re­ sponsible for the low gains of the pigs sheltered In the bam. The attendance this year was Uie largest in toe history of Livestock Feeders Day at the college. The main speaker for the general program was Charles E.

' Warm, muggy weather, with frequent rainfall, Is said te be conducive to the develop­ ment of this parasite In sheep, and heavy losses are likely to occur if pre­ caution te not taken. Infestations of stomach worms are said te occur most frequently when sheep are left to graze on the same pasture year after year, although heavy infestations and losses may also occur with the flock on new pasture. This te due to the fact that a number of these parasites may be carried over In the digestive tract of the breeding ewe. and in seasons such as the present, may heavily Infest a new pasture in a single season. The presence of stomach worms In a flock te Indicated by the lambs be­ coming dull and listless afid the wool dry and harsh.

We will mention each case by itself. In the cose of the People vs. FrancLs T. Hoard, whose home is In Detroit, and whose arrest we have mentioned. Mr. Hoard plead guilty to iiassession of liquor. It came out in the course of the talk of the Judge to Mr. Hoard that the latter was an employee of the Packard Company of Detroit and had been for seven years. The Judge said that he considered him much more responsible for the offense then he did the son and therefore would deal more severely with his case. He then gave him a sentence of 30 days In Jail and 650 fine, to be paid as costa in his case, and in the event of failure to pay the 650. thirty days to be added to his jail sentence. In the case of the People vs Jesse M. Hoard, son of Francis T.. it came out that young Hoard had been 111 from the effects of blood poisoning and had come with his father to spend a little time here as a vacation, which surely was not spent very wisely, as the BAN­ NER has explained. Because of his leaser responsibility he was given-a fine of 6100. or in event of non-payment 60 days In jail, 650 of the 1100 to be ap­ plied as costs and 650 as a straight fine. * In the case of the People vs. Claud Fleming, charged with possession of (Continued on page three) BIG 10-DAY RUG SALE AT W.

It also suggests to the owners ol acreage on other resort lakes that they should be liberal in the figures which they place upon property which may be desired by the county for public parks. Probably not many would be able to donate the land to be used ns a public park, as did the Al-Gon-Quin Realty Company, because this latter company owns all the frontage on Lake Al-Gon-Quin. while that is not true of any of the other resort lakes, still if the county can ;>ee its way to establish­ ing county parks at the different re­ sort lakes, the Owners of property bor­ dering on those lakes ought to catch the spirit of the Al-Gon-Quin Com­ pany and be liberal in the prices which they put upon the land that may be desired. It Harry county should have a sys­ tem of county parks on all the resort lakes it would inure to the benefit of the people --------- hi the locality where these ~ established, It would draw parks orc strangers and tourists from not only Michigan, but other states, who would, in tlie nature of things, become inter­ ested in these lakes and be purchasers of lots and build cottages which would help the resort Interests of the county very much.

Under the circumstances he, therefore, felt justified In Imposing only a fine. In all three of these cases the charge was possession. The Judge called attention to the fact that this is not as serious an offense in the eyes of Uie law os trafficking in liquor, which Is far more serious and merits more severe punishment. In the case-of the People vs. Edwin McDonald of Battle Creek, who was charged with transporting Intoxicat­ ing liquor, the Judge accepted Mr. Mc­ Donald's pfea of guilty, but deferred 'sentence. The cases of the People vs. John Plum. Victor Benner and Michael Dil­ linger, charged with petty larceny, hod been taken to the circuit court after each had confessed his share in the offense The judge remanded these to the justice court, as hls Inter­ pretation of the new law made that tlie proper place for disposing of their cases. In the case of Uie People va Frank Gamble, arraigned on a charge of jMissession of Uquor. Mr. Gamble en­ tered a plea of guilty and was released on hls bond, the case to be called up for sentence later. An amusing inci­ dent happened in this case. Calvin Bancroft was In the court room. At the time when Gamble came before the court to make hls plea. Bancroft stepped before Judge McPeek and claimed that he represented Gamble, and wanted the record to show that Gamble stood mute in the case when arraigned ’ - Judge McPeek turned to Gamble anti said: "Is Mr. Bancroft your at­ torney?" To this Gamble replied. "No sir." Tlie Judge then asked: "Do you want him to represent you in this case?” And Gamble answered, "I do not." The judge then turned to Mr, Ban­ croft and said; "I cannot see that you have anything to do with this matter." The judge then asked Gamble if he wanted to make a plea to the charge of possession of liquor and he said he did The judge took the plea of guilty and the sentence was deferred. Just why Mr. Bancroft should as­ sume to act for a man who said he had not asked him to do so and didn't want him to do so. ts not apparent. Judge McPeek said that he would reach these cases where sentence had been deferred at as curly a date as he could. / OUR COUNTHEEOS HOUNTY LIBRARY gc BRAND SE N’S—."Where_ the Customer Must Be S at i s fied ”—FRAND S Profit Elimination Sale!

To lids person the people Interested would go and apply for the books, keeping, them the stipulated time, when they would be returned. This would be without expense to the coun­ ty. except for the transportation of books from one place to another. That would allow 50 books for each station. But we believe that the county could well afford to appropriate a little money each year to add to the stock of books, especially books that are adapted for children's reading We believe the county could secure somebody at relatively small expense at the start to act'as county librarian. It would not take all of that person's time. The same person could trans­ port the books to the different branch libraries as they were needed. In this manner there would be brought to tlie rural homes of Barry county chances to read the helpful books that are available today. There are four counties in Michigan which have county libraries, with several branches each, in operation at the present time. Other camties are considering the matter. In California, practically every county in the state has such a library. We hope to see Barry county get in line in this matter ■in order that there may be given to the people, particularly the children.

Dowling and was in the act of stoppir^ up from the gutter on­ to the sidewalk, raising her weight on her left foot, when she heard some­ thing snap and fell to the ground. People came to her assistance and she was carried to her home. A doctor was summoned who ascertained that one of her ligaments in the lower left limb had broken. It is a very painful in­ jury and recovery is even slower than a broken bone. Mra. W. A. Lampman and Mrs. James Troxel attended a musical and oratorical contest Friday evening al Delton. The contestants from Has­ tings in thc musical contest went Misses Maude Adkins, Bertha Mead and Leva Casteleln and Albert Patton. Mias Emma Dinkel was the contestant from Delton.

The Green Street 500 Club held Its last meeting of the year at the home of Mr. and Mra. Thomas Sullivan Fri­ day evening. A six o'clock dinner was i served and the balance of the evening , was spent In playing 500. The rooms | were very prettily decorated with white lilacs. Mra. Ida Wood catered. Tlie evening was a very enjoyable one. It's now up to Rev. Van Auken to do some explaining. Bunday he bor­ rowed Geo. Coleman's horse and car­ riage and drove out to Woodland. Monday morning as Mr. Coleman was looking through hls rig he found a nice "biddy" comfortably located under the seat and hovering over an egg. The fondness of ministers for "yellow­ legged” chicken is proverbial, and we have heard it hinted that Woodland fowl were extra fine. Mr. Coleman says that Rev. Van Auken can take hls rig any times he wishes to. The members of the Barry County Bar Association held their annual meeting In the lecture rooms of the M. E. church. A sumptuous banquet was served by Mrs. Ida Wood. After the i banquet came the literary program as follows: Toastmaster, Judge Clement Smith. "Relationship of the Bar to I Good Citizenship.*' Rev. J.

Putman of Nash­ ville gave to that village a deed to the tract of land known az River Park to be used as an athletic field. The peo­ ple of that town must appreciate such splendid public spirit.

The association will soon have 65,000 black bass to be planted in the various j^dtes ot the county. Making Use Of It.

Bowers made lhe keynote speech at tlie democrat national con­ vention al Houston, Texas. It was largely a tirade against republicans, whom ho foolishly denounced as aid­ ing and abetting official dishonesty and corruption. That kind of political campaigning will not get very far in these days. It would be Just as absurb' for republicans to assert that all dem­ ocrats are res|x>nsible for lhe misdeeds and corruption of certain Tammany officials’ In New York City, because that party has nominated for Presi­ dent a Tammany man and official, who has never been accused of official cor­ ruption or dishonesty himself nor of the misuse of hls position as an officer of the city or stale of New York. It Is foolish to charge the rank and file of any party with upholding official dis­ honesty and corruption, because some official chosen to office by the party Is unfaithful to hls trust. No one questions that Herbert Hoov­ er Is an honest man and lias been faithful In tlie discharge of official duly. No one questions the personal or official honesty of Governor Alfred E. Smith. The rank and file of thc democratic as of the republican party want honest public officials. To indict, or attempt to Indict, a whole party be­ cause of the wrong doing of any public official is therefore foolish. Mr. Bowers also declared In hls key­ note address that the old fundamental issues OQon which Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson so radically dis­ agreed would be the Issues in tlie com­ ing camjialgn. Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, recognized as an author­ ity on Alexander Hamilton and hls great service to lhe United-Stoles, has tlie following to say on that subject: "Mr. Bowers would pitch this year's campaign upon the old fundamental Issues which divided Hamilton and Jeff­ erson .when the republic was founded," Senator Vandenberg said. "Bo let It be. Hamilton was murdered in a duel with Aaron Burr. Original Gang Leader.

IMS EARNING, SAVING AND SPENDING ARE OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE Andre* Carnegie, one of the world's greatest exemplars of thrift, was once asked which be considered the most important, earning, saving or spending. He replied by asking which of the three legs of a stool was thc most nec- . essary. It would be weM If this understand­ ing of thrift widespread. Thc three factors in tho process of , acquiring and using money are interdcpomlant nnd it is false doctrine to, over-emphasixA saving. Wo sec examples every day which tend to prove that qnitc a largo percent- I nge of thc people give insufficient at- | tention to spending or investing. There arc opportunities on every hand for I earning money and it is not difficult in' those times und under present eondi- I tions for thc average person to save [ something out of his income. But thc i amount of money which ia lost through I thc unwise use of savings is now said to Im* greater than the annual growth i in national deposits. s With the vast majority of people, thc accumulations of savings is a slow process requiring great patience nnd persistence. The margin between in­ come nnd tho necessities of life is not wide. Hence It is all the more unfor­ tunate that greater attention is not given to tho problems involved in the proper use of sating*. Tho trouble very largely lice in the f.iet that people do not give sufficient study to these problems. Incidents are not uncommon where persons have parted with the savings of years on the representations of - total strangers. Every saved dollar represent* hard work I nnd greet patience. Just as much thought and care should lie used in ad­ ministering it as in acquiring nnd sav­ ing. If thia rule were applied by every one, (here would be n tremendous elimi­ nation of lost or wasted money. It is tho port of good thrift to be ns careful in letting go of your dollars ns you wore iff getting hold of them.— By & W. Straus.

One thing badly needed i* a street paving material so hard that it can't be cut for new sewer connections until hen I CAME to Battle Creek thirty years ago last January, I contended that every human being was,qualified for some special work in life. I claimed that some folks ought ' to be financiers, some machinists, some preach­ ers, some chief accountants, some purchasing agents, some sales managers, some general managers, some ad­ vertising executives-*1-! claimed that every individual had some fundamental qualification that, coupled with the right sort of training, would make him happier and far more successful in one field of effort than he would be in some other. At that time I had several competitors in businesiPthey’re all gone now, fallen by the wayside or otherwise disposed of. These competitors claimed my ideas were all “hooey,” “bunk,” nothing but sales talk. Some of my friends even thought I was a little “queer.” Others thought I just had some fool ideas that I would eventu­ ally outgrow. Some of the best known educators of that time ridiculed my pedagogy. signed for the training of young men and young women for accounting, business administration, and secretarial positions. . .. . Jr Jr We do not want any one to confuse the courses of study offered at this school with those offered at the ordinary business college. The average business college course is seldom, if ever, anything more than a review of high school commercial courses. The average Com­ mercial Department of a good high school gives as much* and sometimes more training, than is found in the aver­ age business college course, and frequently gives it much better. Argubright Courses of study in Accounting, Business Administration, and Secretarial Science, are full Col­ lege-Grade Courses. The fact that our young people are not only wanted, but eagerly welcomed by the great busi­ ness houses of this and surrounding states, should be sufficient evidence of the superiority of the training they receive while here. The advancement of our graduates to responsible executive positions within a very short time after employment, is further proof of the correct­ ness of our plan. . .. However, Doctor Blackford, the greatest character analyst in America about fifteen years ago, said that I was singularly successful in choosing the right person for the right job, that I seemed to have an almost “un­ canny” ability in picking people for the right places in business. Mr. E. J. Ellis, prominent Packard Motor Car company executive, at about the same time, said we made a “ten-strike” every time we picked a worker for Packard organization. ARGUBRIGHT TRAINING IS VALUABLE Even if you never spend one day in a business office, Argubright training is the finest kind of an education for any young man or young woman. It is the kind of training that will help you, no matter what you do in life. One of the most prominent attorneys of Battle Creek made the remark once that if he had had ^rgubright training it would have been worth at least $10,000.00 to him the first five years of his legal practice. Hundreds of business organizations today throughout Michigan and adjoining states look to me for young men and young women to take into their organizations and develop for executive positions. The greatest educators in the world have now concluded definitely that my ideas of thirty years ago were correct. Volumes have been written by prominent psychologists on the subject. Heads of prominent universities, and psychological re­ search laboratories the world over, are finding and prov­ ing the truth of these basic educational principles. Many young men and young women who expect to specialise in Law, Medicine, and the fine arts courses, as offered in the State and other Universities, have taken our training for the value that it gives. One of the wealthiest men in the community sent his daughter to this school because he wanted her to have the PRACTI­ CAL EDUCATION she would get here. When she grad­ uated, she told us she valued her training here more than ALL HER OTHER EDUCATION, (and she was a Wellesley College graduate), because it was a TRAIN­ ING THAT SHE COULD USE. INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AND INSTRUCTION - Each and every student at this school is developed and educated according to his individual needs, mental capacity, physical ability, and inherent fitness for some particular place in the World. Each student stands on his own feet. No one is retarded, no one is crowded beyond his capacity, each is taught to assume individual responsibility, and everyone that graduates from this school has acquired the priceless possession of initiative. This is why our boys and girls advance rapidly into splen­ did executive positions. This is why they begin their business careers with initial salaries from twenty-five to one hundred percent larger than those that are paid to thc graduates of moat other schools. Young men who graduate from our Accounting and Business Administra­ tion Course, secure initial positions paying on an average from twenty-five to fifty percent more money to start, than do the graduates of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and other great Universities, and they advance in position and salary at about the same ratio. A number of young people have already arranged to begin their training with us in July, during August, and later in the year. Most of these young people have re­ cently graduated from high schools. Some of them have completed from one to four years' college or university work. They all realize the value of our training. Our enrollment is limited to a definite number of students throughout the entire year, and our student-body care­ fully selected. There’s every indication now that our “Waiting List” will assume considerable proportions before the first of September. I shall be glad to talk with any young man or young woman personally. Young people of today have a very definite and important problem to solve. I am glad to help them in every way possible. If the solution of their problems permits me to be of future assistance to them, I am happy indeed. The real joy in my work comes in recommending young men and young women who have completed their training at this school for super posi­ tions in the business world where I can watch them ad­ vance and grow. As these young men and young women come back to personally thank me for what the school has done for them, I am fully repaid for all my efforts in their behalf. From the viewpoint of the-efficiency engineer, striv­ ing to eliminate waste, increase production, conserve time, and reduce cost in industry, this school has, as a result of years of study, tests, and research work, made, for the benefit of the young people of this community, profitable and far-reaching innovations in the develop­ ment of college-grade courses of study specifically de­ Argubright’s School of Accounting, Business Administration and Secretarial Science (MICHIGAN BUSINESS AND NORMAL COLLEGE) Battle Creek - - - Michigan �- THE HAS TINOS BANNER, WEDNESDAY.

Remind your highway officials that it is easier to maintain a moist road and that they don't have to wait for a rain to use the grader. If the surface is kept moist with Dowflake all the time, main­ tenance is easy—dust is controlled— surfaces last longer. In the end dustless roads cost less because surface material does not need replacing. Petition your officials for dustless roads this year—ask them for clean, dustless roads free from sticky, messy, smelly substances—ask them for roads kept dustless all summer with clean moisture just like they are after a rain. Dowflake, a clean, odorless, flaky, white dust-layer draws moisture from the air— KEEPS road surfaces moist all season. Ask for book, “How to Control Dust.” Dusty roads crumble, break and blow away. •THE DOWCHEM1CAL COMPANY MIDLAND, MICHIGAN Dustless Roads are better roads for safety, health, cleanliness.

Potter, now Justice of the supreme court, the late John M. GoukJ and P. T. Oolgrove. They saved the county many times thc salary they were paid. We believe IL would be wise for thc legislature of Michigan to make it pos­ sible for two or three counties to unite and hire a first class attorney to give Oil his time to the people's legal busi­ ness, one whose experience shows that he can do thc work well. That would be better than doing as is done in Bar­ ry county and many other counties now, paying a salary so small that a lawyer who has a good practice cannot afford to think of being prosecuting at­ torney. In a recent address before the Has­ tings Rotary club. Supreme Court Jus­ tice W. W. Potter explained that. In England and Germany the government trains attorneys for the special duties of public prosecutor, appoints them for life, and pays them enough so that ' they can and do confine their legal work to cases for the people.

Mich. �THE HASTINGS BANNER Wednesday, July 11, 1928 COl7gTWODS£W£W,5| “A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE” Under Uie head of "A Distinction and A Difference" th* Wall Street Journal, recognized as the ouUtandlnc organ of business in Hite country, has some thing to say with reference to the fundamental differences between the republican and democratic parties which we think is worthy of consider­ ation; so we give our readers the bene­ fit of this article, which Is as follows: "If the two political parties of this country represent-something like "six of one and a half a dozen of the other," with no underlying essential difference, why do the business men of the North, the East and Ute Middle West openly, and those of Uie South secretly, favor Hoover and the Republi­ can party? Most of us like Smith per­ sonally. we frankly admire his courage, his admitted honesty, his political ability, his intelligence and his dem­ onstrated administrative talent. "There Is an essential difference be­ tween the two parties which business has never failed to recognise; which is as strong today as IL has ever been. Business has no use for or paUence with crooked politics, whether in oil or sewer pipes. It wants honest govern­ ment, freedom from vexaUous regu­ lation. the liberty to develop the re­ sources of the country and Uie assur­ ance that government will be an aid and not an obstruction "What then is this clear underlying difference between the two parties? It lies In Uielr essential attitude toward success, and the difference la one not of degree but of kind. The Republican jiarty says 'This Is the land of oppor­ tunity. We do not believe a great for­ tune is Uie highest or noblest ambition of man; we do believe that it Is no mean ambition and that its reward is in power for service which it gives. We say tiiat we have men wlio have won great success, who have opened up vast territories gnd resources, not only growing rich Uiemselves but confer­ ring comfort and affluence upon mil­ lions they never saw. We tell the young American that If these men can do it so can hs; government exists to help him if hs is worth helping." "But the Democratic party could never make any such statement of principle. It says "We want to make all men equal; we realise that we can­ not level all men up. We believe that we can level them down so that the most stupid voter feels that he 13 get­ ting revenge at the polls for his Incom­ petence. his Idleness and his unsuc­ cess. We cannot make everybody rich but we think we can make everybody destitute. We can collect taxes, not for revenue but for punishment. By government ownership, operation and management we can check the prog­ ress of the country, and we hope there will be enough rich men left to pay the bill." "Governor Smith is committed to a program of government ownership. He fought in New York State for one of its mostly costly forms, the state development of hydro-electric power. To his credit It may be said that he does not like Hearst; but he adopts the government-ownership plank ot the Hearst newspaper*. He wants the government In business, and the Fed­ eral government at that. He talks of Jeffersonian principles and states rights, but he would put the govern­ ment into Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam and pledged the United States Treasury to hundreds of millions for a gamble in wheal or com or cotton to buy farm votes. "That is why business men support the Republican party. It is why they support some mighty poor Republicans because their affllatlons are some pledge that contracts can be made and enterprises undertaken with an assur­ ance of that stability which is necesary to carry them through.” A GREAT PIONEER FALLEN.

When I inquir­ ed of Mr. Patterson and his wife, who ; was then living, how busy farmers could give so much Ume and whether they did not now consider they had made a mistake, they both came back with "O no. it was no mistake. Those were Ute happiest years of our lives" Again he said to me, “Of those who were members of that little association fifty years und more ago. I can not re­ call one who has ever gone wrong.” , Twenty-five years later It was in this same community that Rev. M. B. Mc­ Nutt developed a program of rural church activities which was held up as a model for the whole country. Is work In town and country impoosible or un­ productive? of Naperville. Illinois, on June 14, at the age of 78. the Young Men's Christian Association lost one of the fathers in town and country work. From 1873 to 1877 he waa president of the first association in the world (so far as known) to be made up entirely of far­ mers. Then 23, he and his young bride opened their farm home for the meetings. The women came and visit­ ed In the kitchen while the men were carrying on their program in the Uving room. Thirty six members, with­ out a paid secreUry, for four years, out in the country six miles from any town, made their Christian living and their kindly ministrations felt through­ out an entire township (Dupago town* ship. Will county. Illinois). They at­ tended the church prayer meeting on Thursday night, their regular ”Y" meeting on Saturday night tn the Pat­ terson homc. and held a neighborhood prayer meeting once a week In some other part of the township. They held special series of evangelistic meetings in the church during the winter and grove meetings in the summer. Among their speakers were Moody. Bankey. Ma­ jor Cole, and other noted leaders of the great revival period of the 70's. brought out from Chicago. They vtelted the sick. Uklng turns as watchers through thc night, and helped thc dying to find their way to peace. "He died happy In the Lord." appears here and there in thc diary carefully kept by the wife of the recording secretary. Every summer after wheat harvest those men took their horses and bugg.es and in pairs visited systematically every home. CHURCH CHOIRS TO COMPETE AT M. S. C.

THE BEST PART You Can Have, Is Your Money Working For You I In times of sickness, unemployment, or depression, your money is your best friend. But how often do you see people turning this best friend down by spending their money as fast as they earn it—or a little faster? Everyone, regardless of his or her station in life, can win out by hon­ est application. This means SAVING a part of your earnings each week, or month and depositing them regularly. Just the minute you commence systemat­ ic saving your EARNINGS will com­ mence to grow and you’ll start on the road to SUCCESS. Why not start TODAY? It works for you DAY and NIGHT, year in and year out. It never complains, and never persists in telling you of its troubles. All you have to do is to collect your earnings once every six months. When you deposit your money with this Bank, it’s just as secure as though Uncle Sam himself was holding it for you. And indeed Uncle Sam does guard it, his employees making regular detailed exam­ inations of our affairs several times each year. The very moment your mon­ ey is deposited here it COMMENCES TO GROW, and it keeps right on grow­ ing as long as it is left here. APPLICATION ON FILE. William W. bchepkel. Hastings .. Nellie Gillette.

Your Business i cn in Fl In A In an en Money that is spent is like time that is wasted—it is gonq forever. You can’t af­ ford the risk of being without a reserve fund for the day of need, which may come unexpectedly to any man. with successful men, and frequently give special consideration to those whom they know pay their bills promptly. The inter­ est on your reserve fund will likewise help to increase your ready cash profits. A reserve account is a storage battery in which you can accumulate the results of youthful energy for the time when the money will be sorely needed. Your reserve fund is a tangible cash surplus, such as every sound banking, manufacturing or mercantile establish­ ment builds for its own use. A reserve fund will help you in your future buying. People like to do business Building up a reserve fund is well worth your consideration. - Ju of Li do an Id M th Mi 8h 1 HASTINGS CITY BANK He gri on “The Bank With The Chime Clock' PHONE 2103 8h HASTINGS CAPITAL $75,000.00 8k Ini go* 30 A 4 ch thi du Rid Dust a mo npi W1 wll the nl| KUi at the Source pic ma am eni Where all the dyst comes from seems as great a problem as here all the pins go. * But just watch your highway— * Dust your furniture— , Let a car pass — Then dust again — It’s easy to see where the dust comes from and just as easy to put an end to it.

Calbert Holstein of Hunt­ ington, W. Va., Ohoaen as Succeaaor llutings people to learn that Rev. Boone, who haa conducted the HuUngs City Mission for eight years, has resigned and leaves this week for Port Huron where he will stay for some time. During, his residence in Hastings Rev. Boone has made many friends and the good he has donfc cannot be measured, nor can the Influence of his work among his own people and among the realdenu of the city and county ever be fully realized. He has labored hard and long for the welfare of his fellowmen. bringing a word to cheer to the discouraged, a bit of encourage­ ment and hope to the afflicted, and materially aiding those in need when necessary. Many a sick room has been brightened by the gift of lovely flowers from his own garden. All of these things, along with his regular Mission duties, were too great a strain on his health, so he has been compelled to relinquish his position here. HU future plans are not certain, but for a year or so Rev. Boone wants to do some evangelistic work before tak­ ing a regular pastorate again. Eventu­ ally he hopes to make hU home in Lansing. Rev. Calbert Holstein of Hunting- Boone's successor in Hastings. Rev. Holstein is a graduate of "God's Bible School" at Cincinnati. Ohio, and has hud considerable experience as an evangelist. He is a talented muslcan also. which will be of great assistance to him in his ministry. The Hastings City Mission and the residents of this community are for­ tunate in having this fine Christian young man locate here. There is universal regret over Rev. Boone's resignation and removal from tills city and all his friends wish for him and for his splendid family God's choicest blessings wherever they may go Rev. Holstein has already begun all for a successful administration Hastings. EXCELLENT CONDITION OF HASTINGS BANKS Reports Show Fine Surpluses and Ample. Reserves for Possible Contingencies Last week the BANNER published the statements of the two banks of this city. We do not know if It occurred to anybody, but It did to us. to make some tabulations. The two banks have total footings of $2,552,222.10. The total deposits in them aggregate $2,060,85154. Both banks are strong, conservative insti­ tutions. Each of them has u surplus and undivided profit account consider­ ably In excess of its capital stock, and have ample reserves for any contin­ gencies that may arise. Each of them has a fine bank building, j»id for and carried on their books at reasonable figures. The facilities of the two banks are placed at the disposal of their pa­ trons. In providing conveniences for the transaction of banking business. There are six other banks In the county, two at Nashville, on# each at Middleville, Woodland. Freeport and Delton. Without doubt the total foot­ ings of all ths banks of the county ex­ ceed $5,000,000. Thirty years ago they would not have amounted to much over 25 percent of that figure. These figures reflect the progress, financially, of the people of the county. SAILS SATURDAY FOR .

There were other things •■tated in the democratic platform that denote a friendly altitude on the part of the party which nominated Governor Smith toward big business. The purpose of al) this was to attempt to convince the business world Uuit the democratic party had experienced a change of heart so that they no longer need fear the democratic party, since it had re­ versed it* former outspoken policy of hostility to big business and now proixised to be friendly with it. The selection of John J. Raskob, president of the General Motors Com­ pany. one of the wealthiest men in this country, a leader In big business, a* the chairman of lhe Democratic National Committee Is another evidence that Governor Smith does not want to throw a scare into the ranks of big business. On the other hand he wants it understood that big business will be favored by the democratic administra­ tion if Mr. Smith shall be elevated to the presidency. Now comes Mr. Raskob himself, who has indicated in recent interviews that there Is no doubt of hl* ability to go among hl* friend* and associates In big business and raise all the money he want* In to rarrv carry nn on hl« his rnmnnlan campaign fnr for Al Smith Under these conditions. It is probable that we will not hear anything in the next session of congress from the dem­ ocratic side of the senate or house with reference to lhe friendship of big busi­ ness for the republican party; inas­ much as the democratic candidate for the presidency is courting big business very assiduously at the present time.

While It will be necessary to have a librarian, she will not need to be kept on the job but a part of the time, so that the 11,000 appropriated by the county, it Is believed, will cover the expense of the first year, thus giving to the'rural sec­ tions of the county the benefit of a li­ brary of 1.500 books, which is a fair start. The important thing is for the peo­ ple of the county to show the super­ visors. by their patronage and the number ot books they withdraw after the library is opce established, that they do appreciate this forward step* Once that is done, the board can grad­ ually Increase the amount to a larger limit, which naturally increases the service that the library will render to the people. PROMOTING M-37 AS A MAIN TRUNK LINE Association Organized to Far­ ther Development of This Highway CiUes and counties north of Orand Rapids are getting together on a basis of promoting M 37 as one of the state's main north and south trunk lines. On July 12th, there was held at Wellston a meeting of the Grand Rapids—Lee­ lanau M 37 AssoclaUon. with a banquet and a fine program Including some good talks on highway matters. The business meeting and elecUon of of­ ficers followed. This organization Is composed of highway enthusiasts in Kent, Newaygo, Lake, Manistee. Benzie and Wexford counties. It has been very helpful in promoting this rood, which now ex­ tends to Howard City. But the object of the association is to obtain a through trunk line highway, from Leelanau peninsula via Thompsonville. Kaleva, Wellston and Baldwin to Grand Rap­ ids. There is need of stln another north and south trunk line. This one would open resort territory not now reached by other trunk lines, and would help to lighten the traffic on some of the over­ burdened north and south trunk? lines in the busy resort season.

M. For the first time in many yta Methodist church and Sunday school of this dty held a picnic at Thorn­ apple lake. In the olden clays, when Thornapple was reached only by train, picnics used to be great event* because thc people did not have automobiles to travel In, nor good roads to travel over if they had had lhe cars. Opportuni­ ties for picnics were not, therefore nearly as numerous as they arc today On acoflunt of the changed condi­ tions It waa felt to be something of a hazard as to whether folks would really care for an old time picnic. But they did. and they had a good time too. The committee on transportation saw to II that everyone who wanted to go to the picnic had a chance to ride there in a car Thursday afternoon. Arrived at lhe grounds the fun be­ gan. There were quoits, ball games. , fool races, ball throwing contests and 1 all sorts of things to arouse the interest । and enthusiasm of the crowd, which had by evening reached 250. Prom four to five o'clock was spent by the youngsters at thc bathing beach and they certainly had a great time. The toboggan slide interested thc youngsters, both mule and female. Older boys in bathing suits were on the watch all lhe time at the diving dock, around the shore and al the fool of thc toboggan slide, to rescue any young­ sters If they needed help. Fortunately there was no necessity for their serv­ ices. The kids sure had a great time. Thc outstanding sport event of the afternoon and early evening was a ball game, with Rev. Dewey captain of one side and Leon Bauer bf the other. It was some game. It w<w Interesting to see the "had beens" of, other days put up a bluff at playing ball. To be sure a very soft ball was used, and it was fortunate that this was so. Had the : regulation Spalding sphere been in play there would have been some ‘ cracked heads or shins. Seven longdrawn-out inning* were played. The audience on thc side lines cheered both 1 sides Impartially and enjoyed the fun to the limit. Leon Bauer's side won with a score of 25 to 14. Al a little before seven a splendid picnic supper, with, trimmings of Ice cream and lemonade, was served to thc crowd and then thc happy affair was ended. Everybody had a delightful time and determined tiiat next year shall see a repetition of thc picnic. We arc sure that If those who didn't go realized how much fim they missed they would surely arrange to be there next time. From Our Complete and Timely A**ortu»wfit* Fre.h, New Summer Merchandise balance of prices between agricultural products and the non-agricultural products. He believed that this could be brought about to quite an extent through cooperation. Until recently marketing of farm products was an in­ dividual matter. Now more than 30 percent of hl* products are marketed cooperaUvely. which gives the farmer bargaining power, which is what th? big dealers in these products have had. which has enabled them to make large profits while the farmer received only about what his stuff co*t him. He In­ sisted that this bargaining power is an clement in making tbe price as well as demand and supply. He also stated that legislation is an element in tlw making of prices—not so large an ele­ ment a* some suppose. But thc fact that the tariff on wool has raised the price on wool shows the effect of legis­ lation. He discussed the tariff to a small ex­ tent because, he said, it is no longer a political question, both lhe democrats and thc republicans having indorsed a protective tariff in their platforms this year. The farmer is not helped by a tariff when Iw is raising a product where the producing capacity of the United States for such product* 1* more than our consuming capacity. Then thc export price fixes the price that the farmer has to get. The speaker felt that legislation could do something In the way of getting a better return to the fanner and that it is reasonable to expert congress to do whatever II could in that direction. It was a sane, sensible talk. SUGGEST ON TO THE 0 TY FOTHERS CANNON OVAL SILK TOWELS RUGS HOSE Special QJ -* 39c Value 3 lor ... .

The water works plant has to maintain a fixed pressure constantlyat every hydrant and be prepared to give Immediate service. The water works system, therefore, fairly earns a rental from these hydrants. It seems to us It ought to be paid into lhe water works fund from the general fund, because these hydrants are main­ tained for the benefit and protection of all citizens and property. For the same reason we think that the council should vote to pay for lhe water that is supplied for thc drinking fountains along the public streets of this city.

Young Smith is a! minister's son. a college lad. member of | a fraternity and as far as can be as- [ certained, a young man of exemplary ■ habits and good character. But he . committed arson, burning the frater-1 nity house so that his fraternity might, have the money to start the building of | another house more'modem and up-to- . date, more In keeping with the other ; fraternities of the college and so tiiat they might enlarge their membership and be more prosperous. He did not do ' It for any pecuniary advantage for himself but unselfishly for the frater-. nity which he loved, and in which he was vitally interested. His purpose was laudatory but the method was faulty. He adopted the method of the law­ breaker and the fact that the deed was not done on impulse but was talked over with other members of thc fra­ ternity. was carefully planned and car­ ried out. considerable time being taken to think it over and consider the chances of being caught, gasoline being dlv^irrtrd os an agent because of the odor which might be detected, etc., probably Influenced the judge to his decision to sentence him to one to ten years at Ionia. Public sentiment in Olivet is said to have been strongly in favor of the boy. —not that they condoned the offense ; but that it had been frequently talked, that it would be a benefit to lhe com-■ munlty if some of the old village and I college buildings caught fire and they' could collect the Insurance and build I new.

Even though a good Settlement is made with the insurance company, the loss of lime, loss of busi­ ness. annoyance, worry and other fac­ tors entering in. usually make a Are a heavy liability which perhaps tends to i excuse in his own mind the person who is no respecter of persons. The law ( enlarges upon his losses. Many people have felt that young Smith should be let go on suspended I sentence. In view of his position in society and his evident lack of ordinary criminal tendencies. But Judge Mc­ Peek evidently thought otherwise. He legger and the arsonist are Included in that category. If the country had more men ot the calibre and backbone of Judge Mc­ Peek there might be less outlawry and crime.—From tbe Charlotte Tribune of July 12. nil ON FRIDAY, JULY 20th Choice is practically unlimited in this sale, for it embraces every novelty tyleand every plain style in our large stocks.

It la claimed that, by payment of bounties to Immi­ grant runner* In other countries, these recruit* to our alien population arc brought in. The wont of the situation, at the present time, Is that the United Stales ! ha* no way ot locating these resident aliens who have by deceit, or fraud, or other underhanded means been brought Into this country. ’ Other countries have systems by which check ups can be made, and aliens smuggled in can be located and it surely ought to be done In this coun­ try. Our Immigration laws - are sup- SOME IMPORTANT posed to limit the number of aliens who can lawfully come to America to two percent of the number of people1 from any given country who had land­ ed on our shores previous to 1R90. Tiiat provides a relatively small Increase, not too large for America to assimilate. But when they come In. as it Is claim­ ed they now do, by the hundreds of thousands yearly through Canada. Mexico and by way of Cuba, it can be seen that the digesting problem be­ come* highly complicated. • Congress ought to provide a law by %hlch each alien Immigrant who Is here lawfully may be provided with a certificate, which he woul<J be required to show at stated interval* to repre­ sentative* of lhe government. It could easily be determined then that those aliens who did not have lhea>e certifi­ cates are not here legitimately and should, therefore, be deported.

NEW SENATOR TO BE FARM DAY SPEAKER FACTORS TO OBSERVE Arthur Vandenberg Will Head IN TRAPPING FLIES । Program at M. 8. 0. Gather­ ------—------------------------------------- '• ing Friday, July 27 > STUDYING PEAT AND ITS UTILIZATION ■Investigating Possibilities of Developing Large Areas in Michigan The Land Economic Survey and the Geological divisions of the Department of Conservation of thl* state have en­ tered Into cooperation for thc purpose of studying peat and" it* utilization. There are large beds of peat in tills state and, as about 200,000 tons of dried peat were Imported from Europe last year by American industry, our state ha* decided that It I* worth while to Investigate the possibilities of develop­ Ing peal region* within the_confines of this state. There are three types of peat, viz.! woody, fibrous and pulpy. These three types vary generally within the same bog. Thia possibly offers lhe explana­ tion of the failure in past attempt* to make fuel out of Michigan peat. Peo­ ple who were behind the attempts to develop peat production In Michigan did not know the material which they were dealing with. Hence, in most cases, they were doomed to failure; even before they started. Investigation has shown that the woody peal 1* of Utile value. It* high content of water, and the costly pro­ cesses to which it would have to be I subjected In order to eliminate moist-! ure, preclude* it* use for fuel purposes. agricultural purposes. The fibrous peat may be found useful in making cheap grades of paper, also for litter In stables, dairy bams, and especially In slaughter houses, where It* immense absorbent value makes it useful. Recently medical research student* have found that Ute fibrous peat, when properly prepared, can be used for various purposes in hospitals. The pulpy peal is the type best adapted to use for fuel. It* properties ■re also adapted admirably for use as a filler in commercial fertilizers. The pulpy peat Is mostly organic matter, has a high degree of nitrogen and so is Ideal for use In connection with commercial fertilizer. The chemical engineering depart­ ment of the University of Michigan Is also cooperating and determining the value of this Michigan resource, also the best way in which co conserve this asset. The department does not plan to expend any great amount of money on this subject, but the work will be carried on In a conservative manner. Barry county has many peat marsh­ es.

THE BEST PART You Can Have, Is Your Money Working For You It works for you DAY and NIGHT, year in and year out. It never complains, and never persists in telling you of its troubles. All you have to do is to collect your earnings once every six months. When you deposit your money with this Bank, it’s just as secure as though Uncle Sam himself was holding it for you. And indeed Uncle Sam does guard it, his employees making regular detailed exam­ inations of pur affairs several times each year. The very moment your mon­ ey is deposited here it COMMENCES TO GROW, and it keeps right on grow­ ing as long as it is left here. In times of sickness, unemployment, or depression, your money is • your best friend. But how often do you see people turning this best friend down by spending their money as fast as they earn it—or a little faster? Everyone, regardless of his or her station in life, can win out by hon­ est application. This means SAVING a part of your earnings each week, or month and depositing them regularly. Just the minute you commence systemat­ ic saving your EARNINGS will com­ mence to grow and you'll start on the road to SUCCESS. Why not start TODAY?

Tuke the township of Yankee Springs for instance. As a township of agri­ cultural land it has comparatively little value. But the big orchard at Yankee Springs, what it has done in recent years despite the fact that it is an old orchard, ought to show what can be ac­ complished by developing apple or­ chards In that township. Tlicrc are sev­ eral thousand acres in Yankee Springs well adapted to the culture of grapes. They would produce as fine fruit as is now grown in Van Buren county. We are not hazarding anything in making tills statement for on the John G. Gould placfc therd have been raised as fine grapes os can be produced anywhere.

THE HOUSE OF GO PC SHOES IS THIS A NEW PEST? Yesterday morning Fred Fleming noticed one of his large thrifty aster plants drooping and the top tipping over as if something had sapiied its life. He cut into thc top of the plant and i observed that the pith of the stem had 1 been entirely eaten out. Then he split thc stalk toward thc bottom and found It entirely hollow. He was satisfied | some enemy of tlie plant had done Ulis i work. When nearly at thc root, he found a lively worm, about an inch and a half Ions. This had caused the des­ truction of the plant. Fred captured It and is trying to find out what it is. It seems too large for a corn borej in tlie worm stage although these pests are known to attack dahlia, aster and oth­ er flowering plants.

Once in a while some fellow will make it through some fortunate investment, bat that’s the “exception” and not the rale ! For the "Average Person," success and financial independence is won by just PURE, PERSISTENT "PLUG­ GING," and a dogged determination, to SAVE a part of each week’s, or each month’s^ earnings. The man, or the woman, who saves money in this way, KNOW.S how he, or she, got it, and knowing this, is far less apt to risk it on some uncertain venture. In other words, the mere act of SAVING as they do’ gives them a better idea of "the value of a dollar." When they in­ vest they put their money into some­ thing SAFE and with an assured re­ turn. This added income is just like "finding money." This Bank has helped a good many people on the road to financial inde­ pendence—people who started in a small way, but who kept right on "plugging” and fighting to win the goal they saw in the distance, and they reached it. Men and women, young or older, the days are passing by. You cannot commence SAVING any too soon. Why not commence TODAY—and start right here with us. You would be surprised at the results of a few years of PERSISTENT SAVING, and you would live to bless the day you com menced it.

Vege­ tables and fruit to can and preserve. Spring fries to be fed and watered. Errands to town to be run for father and the boys In the field. Countless palta of water to Iqg from the distant well. Long days that seem to have no end. Torrid waves of heat from the kitchen range. Huge washings of sweaty shirts and overalls. Summer time on the farm ta no vacation where mother ta concerned! Another picture unfolds. Tents and cottages beside a cooling lake. No cooking, no planning of meals for hun­ gry men> Ttme to lie in the shade of graceful trees. Games to play—and Ume to play them! Magazines to read and perhaps a sentimental novel to recall carefree girlhood days. Songs and stories In thc cooling evening shadows with no thought of the morraw's work to spoil the Joy of play. Mother ta camping out! Last summer 640 Ohio farm mothers took a few days off and went to camps in 16 Ohio counties, reports the re­ search department of Ute National As­ sociation of Farm Equipment Manu­ facturer*. In Montana, 8 summer vacaUon camps for farm women were held by the state home demonstration service with a total attendance of 2. 199. This year nine camps are being held in various parts of the state, ex­ tending from thc first of June to the middle of July. Two day* and three nights of care­ free pleasure were enjoyed at each of these camps. The campers did no cooking. In a few cases they washed their own dishes, but had no meals to plan. Programs were provided, games were played, and plenty of time left for them to do as they pleased. Father and the boys’ Somehow they got along with not a casualty of any kind reported. But it's a safe bet they appreciated mother more than ever when she returned, her absence shattering that taken-for-granted feel-! ing which so often creeps in with the endless farm routine. Father with his' tractor, combine, large cultivators and plows, often needs a practical demon­ stration of Ute burden of the water pall and the pleasant pastime of carrying fuel for an always hungry cook stove. Perhaps a new realization of th!1 need for more labor-saving conveniences for the lady of the house was born in many a demln clad breast—when mother camped.......... 1 A craek British mail train went 401 miles the other day without stopping.

Whether a dictator will answer the real needs of lhe Italian people re­ mains to be seen; but.there can be no doubt about tlie fact that Mussolini is on the Job, working for what he be­ lieves is the good of his country and his people. • In a recent speech he was quite frank about what lie plans to do. He. of course, controls the whole labor sit­ uation. and also places limits on the profits of capital. He is trying to de­ velop the resources of Italy so as to make it passible to sustain 60.000,000 people there instead of thc 40.000.000 I people who now live there. He wants that number to be actual inhabitants of Italy in 1950 when he looks for an­ other explosion ... in Europe, and--when ...I..-. — -------- as , he says the 60,000,000 Italians will be confronted by. 80.000,000 Germans. 200,000,000 Slavs and tiial France will have 50.000.000 people and will be able, through her colonics, to control 150,­ 000.000 more: that Great Britain will have 50.000.000 people, and through her colonies control over 450.000.000 more.

His latest concern seems to be about tlie Italians who emigrate to other countries. There will be, he thinks, 10,000,000 of them by 1935 who live in other countries. Of the 5,000.000 in North nnrl South America Mussolini's plan is to have these Italians nob be­ come citizens of the countries ta which they may emigrate, but ta remain loyal and devoted ta Italy and reedy ta re­ turn to defend its government and people at any and all times. It seems ta us that the United State* has a right ta be very much in­ terested in this matter. Why should we permit Italians to come ta our shores who are not expected to become American citizens, but who are tq re­ main Italians, with their loyalty given ta Italy, no matter what circumstances may arise; who will decline lo become citizens of this country, but remain true ta the land from which they are emigrating? It occurs to us that if that Is to be the attitude of the Italian government we had better close the porta of this country to all Italian immigration. thc week end al Augusta and Kalama­ zoo. Mra.

Too many people fall into the HABIT of spending money thoughtlessly, and just “imagining’’ that they cannot SAVE. When some man steps up in the community, or in the financial world, a whole lot of people are eager and ready to say, “Luck." They do not know of the way he worked and sacrificed and saved to get ready for that step upward. Just consider this:— . There’s More Savings Bank “LUCK” Than Of Any Other Kind ♦ And the best of it is that YOU can make it for yourself, by opening an ac­ count here, and adding to it REGU­ LARLY as your earnings will permit. * It’s easy to save—just merely a mat­ ter of spending LESS.than you earn. It will soon become a HABIT, and get easier as the years go by, until almost before you know it, you are on ’’EASY STREET.” It may not be So easy at first, because with your money in the Bank, instead of in your pocket, the many, many little useless expenditures will have to cease. But you’ll be all the better for it. There’s PROTECTION, ENCOURAGEMENT, and SATIS­ FACTION in a good Bank Account— and it’s easily within your reach if you form the HABIT of systematic saving.

Ss“~ “*• MICHIGAN—The Ideal Vacation Land Many people do not know how to ex­ tinguish a camp Ore ao that It holds no threat for the surrounding countryaide. Conservation Department For­ est Fire and State Parks authorities are more than willing to give free ad­ vice to anyone desiring the correct rec­ ipe. The bast way to eliminate all dan­ ger. is to drench the blaze and coals with water and then bury the evidence. There Is 100 per cent prevention in this action. To those who have never seen a forest fire get up and go on a dry summer's day. it holds lUtle fear. But even in this case. the individual's sense of Justice should compensate for the colossal degree of Ignorance. Not ail forest fires originate from camp-fires, either carelessly u-nded or thoughtlessly deserted, but It is safe to say that a large per cent of the annual forest loss Ln Michigan is a direct result of these littlt blazes. Some hold the opinion that glass fruit cans or jelly glasses tossed aside by travellers constitute a menace to thc forest. • But Conservation officers do not believe that such U the case. They have experimented with glass and found Lt is almost imixMslblc for thc sun's rays passing through ordinary glass to start a fire even under Ute most ideal conditions. With the fire season coming on. the authorities have their defensive ma­ chine in iiigh gear. Throughout Uw slate a plucky army has thrown down Its battle lines In an attempt to beat the dreaded fire. All they are asking from lhe tourist is that he observe the rules of the game and docs hot tlirow away lighted matches or tobacco, and thoroughly extinguishes all his camp fires. Two other rules are being em­ phasized. They request that travellers, when they see a small fire, stop lo put it out before damage is done and that on sighting a large fire, report It to thc telephone operator.

J. ARGUBRIGHT MERICAN industry is the marvel of the world. Twenty-five years ago business was _ JIf done in terms of thousands. Today it is done in terms of millions. We have had the imag­ ination, the initiative, and the courage in a century and a half to convert a wilderness into a nation of wealth, power and influence. A NEW ERA IN COLLEGE EDUCATION In no field of human endeavor is there such urgent need for efficient methods as in present-day college train­ ing as a preparation for business careers. If the predictions of those who are in a position to know are verified, business will need within the next four or five years from 200,000 to 500,000 more young men and young women who are trained to assume posi­ tions of responsibility, than will be available. Without question, business is today the GREATEST FIELD of OPPORTUNITY for young men and young women — business offers the greatest opportunity for worth-while service to humanity — business offers the greatest opportunity in the world today for happiness that comes through creative industry — for realising ambitions — and for gaining wealth and influence. Business offers seventy chances for achievement to one chance in every other profession or trade. Statistics prove that seventy per cent of the graduates of law, med­ ical, and technical colleges fail because the professions of law and medicine are overcrowded. The same is true of engineering of every sort, chemical, electrical, me­ chanical, mining, civiL Only a few make any notable financial success. There is one profession, however, that offers to your sons and daughters an opportunity to secure not only social recognition, to serve society, and to become real factors in the community in which they live, but also to amass wealth. The profession of business (and busi­ ness is a real profession) offers all of these and more. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST AVAILABLE FIGURES, EVERYONE OF THE TWENTY-ONE MEN IN THE UNITED STATES WHO REPORTED TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL INCOMES OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS OR MORE, WAS A BUSINESS MAN. There was not a tradesman or professional man in the lot. These twen­ ty one men are only the “topnotchers” of thousands who are getting from $25,000 to $1,000,000 a year. A survey of the 1916 graduating class of a great uni­ versity develops some interesting information. The members of that class earned, on an average, in 1927, $5,200.00 a year. Tne lowest salary was $1,720.00- the highest salary was $40,000.00. All salaries above $5,000.00 a year were earned by men in business, and had it not been for the big salaries earned in business, the average earnings of the class would have been below $3,000.00 a year. From the viewpoint of the efficiency engineer, striv­ ing to eliminate waste, increase production, conserve time, and reduce cost in industry, this school has, as a result of years of study, tests and research work, made, for the benefit of the youth of this community, profitable and far-reaching innovations in the development of col­ lege-grade courses of study specifically designed for the training of young men and young women for account­ ing, business administration, and secretarial positions. The advantages of such a plan as inaugurated, de­ veloped, and followed at Argubright’s School — (ths development of the “skillsT’ coordinately with the mastery of higher college subjects — the immense sav­ ing of time — the conservation of college expenses — the gaining a two years’ earlier start in business — the ability of the graduate to pass examinations prescribed by university professors —«. the growth to executive posi­ tions by the time those electing a founyear program are graduating) — are so outstanding in results to the stu­ dent that these innovations are winning the unqualified approval of business executives, professional men, and educators alike. It* is the plan of this school to so combine the instruc­ tions given with laboratory work that the student not only develops expert ability — "skill” — in perform­ ing the tasks before him, but he has such a sound train­ ing in economics, law, business administration, and other subjects, that he has developed a breadth of vision and soundness of judgment — a judgment, a vision, and an ability that make for culture and leadership; a broad general education, that means finer and more successful citixenship later in life. x In this balance between cultural and utility values, Argubright’s School offers what is believed to be the near­ est approach to the ideal yet attained in Business Ad­ ministration, Accounting, and Secretarial Science Courses of full College Grade. . Roger W. Babson, recognised as America’s greatest statistician and business advisor, recently made this sig­ nificant statement: "Men and women who are training for business should be required to acquire business habits, use business tools, and learn to plan their work effectively. They must have energy, initiative, vision, and the ability to make decisions quickly. To interest them along these lines, an inten­ sive course is necessary and one LONGER THAN TWO YEARS calls for too much time to devote to this purpose. LEADER­ SHIP IN BUSINESS DEPENDS NQT ON HAVING A MASS OF INFORMATION, BUT IN BEING ABLE TO ORGANIZE, PLAN AND DIRECT.” . Prominent employers say they want well-educated • men and women in their organisations. BUT they find that the graduates of the traditional-type colleges have a marked inability to organize their time and they form habits undesirable in business. They are demanding college trained men and women who nave ability, plus personality, leadership qualities, magnetism and a vision of the bigger, broader things of life. Argubright’s School is meeting the demand by developing men and women who can not only think, but who can organize and work with effectiveness. They’re trained to handle the tools of business, and rather than listen to mere lec­ tures, they are taught to solve the every-day problems with accuracy and speed, which is the only certain way to develop the ability, personality, and character, de­ manded in business. In selecting a course of study for your sons and your daughters, it should be remembered that classical edu­ cation, valuable as it is, was planned centuries ago, largely for lhe cultured, titled and leisure classes. I shall be happy to talk with any parents who may be planning the futures of their sons and daughters. My more than thirty years’ experience in training, develop­ ing, and directing more than seven thousand young peo­ ple, in placing tnem in responsible business positions and watching them grow to prominent executive places in the communities where they live, have given me some information and taught me a few things that may be helpful to you in directing your boys and your girls in the way that they should go to find the greatest oppor­ tunities for service to society, for acquiring wealth, and for being happy. If you wish to come to my office, I will be happy to plan with you, and if it should happen that you entrust your son or daughter to my care, I pledge you every pos­ sible effort on my part to do for your son or daughter just what I should want done for a son or daughter of my own. Please keep in mind always that the greatest joy in my life comes from seeing young people grow from beginning, positions to great places in the world of busi­ ness. A number of young people have already arranged to begin their training with us in Amnist, during Septem­ ber, and later. Our enrollment is limited. Our student " body is carefully selected. There’s every indication that our "Waiting List" will assume considerable pro­ portions before the first of September.

The Motor in a Hudson Car is recognized as the peer ‘ of any in the market; the mechanical construction of the entire car is second to none; it is built on attractive lines, and its riding qualities are all that could be desired. But EXPERIENCE shown has that women have a lot to do in the selection of a car, and the appearance of a car naturally appeals to her. Recognizing that FACT, the great Hudson Motor Company has just spent ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR greater color variety, in order that "color schemes" may be more attractive, and yet produced under "standard produc­ tion" so that prices may not be advanced. New Hudson and Essex cars are now coming from the factory in very attrac­ tive new color schemes that add greatly to their beauty and attractiveness.

Every motorist knows the importance of spring shackles—those joints or hinges which form the connecting link between body and axles. Engineers have sought to reduce friction to a minimum at these vital joints—to make squeaks, no rattles, no sidesway. Instead, smooth, silent resiliency, an undeviating uni­ formity of action and an enduring buoyancy that will keep your Studebaker young. In pluce of complicated centralized systems for oiling and greasing, each ball bearing spring “shackle” contains, sealed within it, ample lubricant to last for more than twenty thousand miles. • Come ride in a new Studebaker to­ day. Thrill to its champion per­ formance. See rare new beauty of line and color. Then compare Stu­ debaker's new low One-Profit prices —the triumph of 76 years’ manu­ facturing experience! make them noiseless—to reduce the' necessity for frequent lubrication. All these objectives have now been attained in Studebaker cars. ■OTICB TO CXBDITOBg. QUIMBY.

We are forced to state that If we knew we would be called upon to drink water laden with typhoid germs we would much rather be prepared by getting serum treatment from a reliable phy­ sician beforehand than to invoke Di­ vine aid to filter the water before It touched our lipa Probably though we would offer up a allent prayer to God. hoping that He would see to it that the physician did his duty property! Like­ wise. we question whether It would not be better for a growing boy to be­ come an "Eagle Scout" In that great organization, the Boy Scouts of Amer­ ica. than "to hit the sawdust trail" through the efforts of Billy Sunday. In others words, is not character building a process of extended effort in the building of good moral habits, through fine associates, high ideals of patriotism, truth and honesty and "doing atood turn" every day? An oak tree does not spring up, like a toadstool, by the inspiration of a rain­ storm. We are not doubting God's power, but are inclined to believe that He uses it more indirectly than directly in aiding us to approach perfection. There are laws of psychology which •operate Just as there are laws of nature. God works through these laws. It is much easier and effective for Die folks in Arizona to Irrigate their lands than to ask the Supreme Being to remove the Rocky Mountains so that all moisture will not be de­ posited in California, although we do not doubt but that the latter would be possible for him to do. Similarly in the field of morals, we would much rather place a girl In a home with a fine, honorable mother, with sisters of culture and refinement, than to plant her in a house with a slovenly foul-tongued woman with unmention­ able associates, and pray nightly that no harm should befall the youngster.

They must also decribe the kind of chickens that were bought. In this manner, by compliance with this law. it will be much easier to fer­ ret out crimes.

July 30 —Two thousand Michigan young men representing every community in lhe state, began training in the Citizens Military '1 rain­ ing Campe at Camp Custer. Fort Brady. Fort Sheridan and Camp McCoy. WUl. Thunday. July 26. The largest number reported for duty at Camp Custer where 1.000 or more young men «Ul re­ ceive training in American citizenship, loyalty, obedience, leadership, military drill and other interesting subjects that young men should know. Two nundred and filly other young men from the Upper Peninsula, and from the Upper part of the Lower Peninsula, reported at Fort Brady, and the other 780 Michi­ gan young men reported at Fort Sheri­ dan where they will be trained in the cavalry, and Camp McCoy. WIs. where the field artillery branch Is taught. In addition to the military and other subjects every young man will have to select some athletic training that he prefers to spend his afternoons al dur­ ing his training. Camp Custer has never been in better condition than it is for this year. Col­ onel Alvin O. Glllem. the camp com­ mander hu had the regular army bat­ talion from the Second Infantry, under Major Manton C. Mitchell. prepare the training grounds for the young men when they arrived. Thia camp is simply marvelous from every stand­ point aa a result of the work done by the regular army. Of the 2.000 young men from Michi­ gan in training more than one-third of them have attended the O. M T. C. before, many of them one year, some two years and other three years. These young trainees will all be designated as non-commissioned officers in the C. M. T. C. companies, and they will impart the training they received in former years to the “rookies" who re­ ported to camp foe the first time this year. The Port Huron high school band of Port Huron. Mich.. Is making a big record for Itself as lhe C. M. T. C. band al Camp Custer. This band is com­ posed entirely of high school students, and the music they furnish is as good as many professional bands. The only time the trainees do not appreciate their musical efforts is at 5:40 A. M.. each morning when the band marches through the company streets playing some lively tune to wake up the young men and put pep into them for the day's work. When the trainees arrived in camp they were met by regular army and re­ serve officers and escorted to a refresh­ ment tent where they were furnished with ham sandwiches and red lemon­ ade. After that they visited the chap­ lains who secured from them certain religious Information concerning the church they attended. They next visited the shower bath, and then visited medical specialists who exam­ ined every organ of their body, includ­ ing eyes, ears and their teeth. If they passed Uie medicos then they turned in their civilian clothes and passed along counters In two large warehouses where they were given their uniforms. Including shoes and rain coats. After being completely outfitted the trainees were assigned to companies and escort ed to their company street and shown the tent they will occupy for the next 30 days. At their tents they met new buddies, and in half an hour they were as well acquainted as though they had known each other tor a long time. The Detroit and Wayne county boys were given a big send-off. Bchmenen'z Military band of 33 pieces were at the depot and rendered a musical program whUe parents of the boys and dty offi­ cers were saying good-bye. These trainees went to Camp Custer In a special train arriving there at noon. If » « COURTHOUSE NEWS Due to Tireless Researoh, the PROBAT* COURT. Estate of Emma Hodge.

And a little point you ought to memorize is that you aren't spending any more for electricity than did your ancestors for the whale olL kerosene, tallow and so on which they used tor Illuminating purposes. We spend about 323 00 a year for light, and so did they —only we get 100 times aa much light for our money as they did. Even though moat of us would be thoroughly contented to use the lamp bulbs of today—or at least bulbs of the same type—for the rest of our lives, the lamp manufacturers do not feel that way about It at all. They willing­ ly spend a million dollars in research work in order lo effect an improvement in lamps which will result In one per cent more light being given off for the same amount of electricity consumed. Once upon a time lamp bulbs used to be blown by hand, by the same methods used to blow glass a hundred yean be­ fore Christ. Today lamps ore blown In huge machines, holding 150 tons of molten glass tn their tanks. Where a man could blow 500 lamps In a day. a machine can make 50,000 lamps of more uniform quality. As a result of advances like that the public is saved millions of dollars on its annual electric light bill. It Is esti­ mated that had we been using the equipment of 1020 the amount of light which we used last year would have cost us 470 millions of dollars more than It did. Which Is quite a lot of money to save, no matter how you fig­ ure IL GOVT. BULLETIN MAKES BEEF COOKERY SIMPLE. >- Why is my roast beef never just right? Why is it that when I cook a pot roast that il is always dry and stringy? How does it happen that I can never broil a steak and get lhe same results twice? The Bureau of Home Economics. U. 8. Department of Agriculture, haa pub­ lished a leaflet that answers these ques­ tions and a lot more besides. It is only a four-page leaflet, but there Isa wealth of Information packed in tho* four pages. Anyone may secure a copy by writing to the Superintendent of Docu­ ments. U. 8. D. A.. Washington, D. and asking for Leaflet No. 17, “Cooking Beef According to the Cut." The following is an excerpt from this extremely valuable little pamphlet. "For tender cuts the following meth­ od of cooking gives the best results. Sear the meat at a high temperature for a short time until a brown coating is formed. Then reduce the tempera­ ture and. continue the cooking Do not cover Hie meat and do not add water. If meat is cooked in this way the juices are held In, and the meat loses little of its flavor. The drippings, however, usually have enough flavor to form the basis of gravy. Tender cuts are cook­ ed until rare, medium, or well done, ac­ cording to personal preference. A meat thermometer removes the guesswork in roasting. Beef Is rare between the temperatures of 130 degrees and 150 de­ grees F.. medium between 150 degrees and 170 degrees F.. and well done at about 180 degrees F. "The less tender and less expensive cute of beef can be made into attrac­ tive and delicious dishes when they are cooked properly. The general method o' cooking less tender cuts differs from the method for tender cute In the steps which must be taken to make tough meat tender. Heat, moisture and slow cooking help to accomplish the desired result. First, sear the meat, usually In fat until It is browned. After brown­ ing. reduce lhe cooking temperature, add a small quantity of water, and cov­ er lhe meal tightly. Cook slowly until tender. The small quantity of water which is added in cooking extracts some flavor from the meat and makes good gravy." A band of Doukholmn living in Bnt-. i»h Colombia have refused to pay their taxes.

The Average Ma CAN ATTAIN SUCCESS ONLY BY “PLUGGING” There isn’t any “short cut” on the way to financial independence and success. Once in a while some fellow will make it through some fortunate investment, bat that’s the “exception” and not the rule! For the "Average Person," success and financial independence is won by just PURE, PERSISTENT "PLUG­ GING," and a dogged determination to SAVE a part of each week’s, or each month’s earnings. The man, or the woman, who saves money in this way, KNOWS how he, or she, got it, and knowjhg this, is far less apt to risk it on some uncertain venture. In other words, the mere act of SAVING as they do, gives them a better idea of "the value of a dollar." When they in­ vest they put their money into some­ thing SAFE and with an assured re­ turn. This added income is just like "finding money." WARRANTY DEEDS. Sarah Malcolm to Marvins J. Vanderlip. parcel. Bee. 11, township of Irv­ ing. 51.00. Truman E. Cole and wife to L. V.

When some man steps up in the community, or in the financial world, a whole lot of people are eager and ready to say, "Luck.' They do' not know of . the way he worked and sacrificed and saved to get ready for that step upward. Just consider this:— There’s More Savings Bank “LUCK” Than Of Any Other Kind And the beat of it is that YOU can make it for yourself, by opening an ac­ count here, and adding to it REGU­ LARLY as your earnings will permit. It’s easy to save—just merely a mat­ ter of spending LESS than you earn. It will soon become a HABIT, and get easier as the years go by, until almost before you know it, you are on "EASY STREET.” It may not be so easy at first, because with your money in the Bank, instead of in your pocket, the many, many little useless expenditures will have to cease. But you’ll be all the better for it. There’s PROTECTION, ENCOURAGEMENT, and SATIS­ FACTION in a good Bank Account— and it’s easily within your reach if you form the HABIT of systematic saving.

He was the only one who saw the acci­ dent. Tiie crushed body was found between the rails on the side track. It was evi­ dent that he died soon after being struck. The body was taken to the undertaker s, and will be forwarded to Jackson this, Wednesday, afternoon. Watson Is survived by his wife and one daughter. His associates and all who knew him speak in the highest terms of him. as a fine type of man. who was faithful to duty, a kindly, friendly man and a genial companion whom they highly respected.

Michigan Is beginning to take inter­ est in the question of rock formations, because it has been ascertained that this slate will become a considerable producer of oil. The BANNER lias called attention to the fact that the state geologist has changed his mind ' about the value and extent of Michi­ gan’s oil deposits, since such quantities kegon. and since a splendid oil well has been located ten miles east of Mt Pleasant, from which last week about ! 9.000 barrels of oil were shipped from | (he one well In that district. We have also chronicled the fact that three more wells are to be put down by the Pure । Oil Company which developed the first ! tgell. There are also many indications of oil in Monroe county. It can be seen that Michigan Is a I I difficult state In which to locate oil I territory, because of the fact that the j rock formations are not near the sur- j fact, but are tn some instances covered by hundreds and hundreds of feet of । sand and stones which the glaciers, by ( X | their movements and when they melted , . 1 wish to acquaint you with the fact that I have purchased the Thorburn Drug Stock and have taken possession.

Drilling for oil is proceeding rapidly in Michigan and in new places, but not always wisely. The state geologist has called the at­ tention of the people of Michigan to the fact that surface indications are no guide whatever to the rock forma­ tions underneath this state. This is due to the fact, as he explain* it. that, the rock strata of Michigan, which make small outcrop* here and there in the state, dip down toward the center of the lower peninsula, forming a great bowl. This ha* been filled with sand, stones and other material by action at glaciers, which have mad* valleys, heaped up hills and caused most of the surface formations In this state, which In. for instance, such a stalo as Penn­ sylvania would be formed by tho up­ heaval of rock in some past geologic period. O1P l* present In various porous rock structures, variously designated os tho "Traverse sand." the "Berea sand" and others that have been named These structures dip toward the center ot the state, so that, as you go toward the center, the distance to the stratified rock is deeper. * . While oil is found In these soft sand rocks, which are porous, it is not found In paying quantities In the ordinary stratum of such oil bearing rock. Un­ less the rock has been fractured so that it heaves up. creating a space which can be filled by the lighter oil and gas. one I* not apt to find paying quanti­ ties of either. But when one finds, as at Muskegon and later in Midland couniy. that these breaks in the rock, where open spaces have been formed by the fractured rock which have been filled with the desired oil and gas. then a paying oil field may be developed os the one in Muskegon, which promises to be very profitable and. according to the stale geologist, will continue to pro­ duce oil and gas for many years to come. There are no surface Indications in Michigan such as one would find In a level country like Texas. Oklahoma. Kansas, where these upheavals or frac­ tures of the rock show on the surface.

Many of these so-called bargain goods, upon ex­ amination, you would not want at any price, nor would they try very hard to sell you. But the adv. had accom­ plished its purpose in getting you into the store, and the salesman would do his best to sell you -some other goods.

Cong, Ketcham to Speak in May—One of Be«t Program* Presented Here The work of listing the speakers for the Brotherhood for next year, begin­ ning with their October meeting, has been about completed. It is certain that the next Brotherhood year will be nn outstanding one in its splendid pro­ gram. For the October meeting. Clarence Cook Little, president of the University of Michigan, will be the speaker. Dr. Little’s visit to Hastings on a previous occasion as a Brotherhood speaker will be recalled; so all the members will look forward to a worth-while, helpful address; for Dr. Little always has something interesting to say. Not leas Interesting will be the No­ vember date, when Senator Arthur Vandenberg will give an address. Sen­ ator Vandenberg, although only recent­ ly elevated to the high position which he holds, has gained a national reputa­ tion. as well as state, as a real leader. His coming will oe an event pleasing to all. It is expected to make the first two m<*M.lngs open meetings, so the public will share with tlie Brotherhood in the hearing of these messages. For the December meeting. Webster H. Pearce, Superintendent of Public In­ struction, has been secured. Dr. Pearce will talk on some theme that will show the importance of the state** super­ vision of education, will reveal the progress that has already been made and plans for the future. The order is not yet definitely settled for the next two speakers' but it is ex­ pected one will be the January speak­ er and the other will come in Febru­ ary. The two are Rev. John T.

Of course Ulis is absurd. The BAN­ NER expects to be able, in tbe near future, to present some first-hand in­ formation on that subject from a man well known in Barry county and throughout the state, which will aet. tie that proposition in the minds of every reasonable person and prove conclusively that Mr. Hoover had .noth­ ing whatever to do with fixing the price of wheat. Furthermore, the fact that fore he entered public life at al), and is not as well off today, financially, as he was when he entered the cabinet of President Harding, should be sufficient proof of the absurdity of the story that he was speculating tn wheat.

August 13—Both the hunter and the conservation department officer should benefit by the new badge system that is to be inaugurated thia year. The tags, one and three quarters inches across, will be plainly visible from a considerable distance. Their bright colors will be in contrast to the usual drab contume that most Michigan hunters wear. • Officers seeking out vlolaters of the state license law will bp able to re­ cognize law-abiders at once without the formality of requesting the hunter to produce his actual license. The colors of the four badges that will be in use are as follows: Non-rcaldent deer license, orange on white: resident deer license, grey on white; non-reaident small game li­ cense. green on white, resident small game license, red on white. The badges are being sent out to county officials so that there will be a supply on hand well in advance of the open seasons. MINT CROP GOOD BUT PRICE IS LOW, According to present indications lhe mint crop this year will be good. A large crop of peppermint ol) will be harvested on the muck farms around Decatur, Glenwood and Dowagiac. Tbe growers are doubtful as to the price they will receive, the quotation now being very low.

Phone 2217 Heating*, Michigan PROGRESS BEING MADE IN STATE OIL DEVELOPMENT State Geologist Says More Act­ ual Progress Made Past Year Than in State's History Lansing, August 6.—In the opinion of R. A. Smith, state geologist, more actual progress is being made this year in the study of Michigan's possibilities as an oil producing state than ever be­ fore. Mr. Smith points to the activity of the vagous oil companies for his proof. Many sections of the lower pen­ insula are being punctured by tiie in­ quiring drills of the companies. The Pure Oil Co., to whom the state leased large parcels of state owned lands during the past few weeks has several test rigs in the field. Tills com­ pany Is active In many localities drill­ ing through the rock strata which un­ derlie Uie state and identifying them so that there will be some index as to tlie trend of the various beds. Tlie department of conservation is trying to have the oil firms work on something like a co-operative basis. It is believed that if the several parties would have a mutual understanding, pool their knowledge of various sec­ tions and contribute to a general ex­ perimental fund to go towards making test wells and other exploratory work, that there would be a sizable saving to all concerned. Tire wide spread Interest and activ­ ity in oil exploration is indicated by the location of the various test wells already being sunk and tlie projected wells. Geologist Smith has the follow­ ing list, and would like to learn of all new projects. Test wells—Walhalla, southeastern Mason county; Alpena, Boyne City, Manistee. Silver Lake (near Meara. Oceana county), near Mt. Pleasant (four wells); Eggleston township (Muskegon county); Dowagiac. Cedar Springs. Decatur, Carson City, Spring Lake. Holland (two wells, one north of city and one northeast of city), Fowl­ erville. Minden City, (Sanilac county); Deerfield (Monroe county). Projected test wells—Ionia (north of city). Fowlerville. Cassopolis, North Muskegon (northwest of city), Mon­ tague. Newaygo and Fremoqt. Little has been done towards deter­ mining whether there is oil below lhe levels which have yielded to date. One of lhe companies Interested in the Saginaw field has declared its intenUon ot sinzing a deep hole there. This project will no doubt be watched with much intereat. DOUD CORNERS. Mr. and Mra. O. B.

His modest card will tell you of his years of service as supervisor of Thornapple township, and the members of that board will tell you of his very marked aptitude for that work. His education is of the highest rank. His management oflhe creamery for 19 years speaks for itself. We hold that the makeup of this man is such that he is peculiarly fitted for this work. We who know him realize that he is possessed of the very high­ est type of honor and integrity. He is devoid of all personal animosity. No man yet has heard him speak ill of anyone, nor attempt to re­ taliate upon those who have done him harm. He is tolerant in all things, helpful in public service and devoid of all types of political intrigue. His is a judicial mind, slow to arrive. Never jumping at conclu­ sions. But when convinced of the merits of the case, immovable in his verdicts. • ’ A progressive man in all that is for the best interests of his coun­ ty ’and state. Barry county needs this mind of broad visions, fairness, and so adapted for this position.. VOTE FOR FRED 0.

Green Proves Wisdom of “Pay-As-You-Go” Plan for Michigan It will be remembered that, when the last winter. Governor Green reported tliat he had an auditor going over the state books for the purpose of finding the exact position of the state finances at that time. Il will ba remembered that this audit showed that the state of Michigan. Instead of having a surplus on hand, actually owed about 83.000.000. as we recall It. and that If Its debts were paid lhe so-ealled Groesbeck ’cash balance on hand” was a Joke, the so called cash balance really being a deficit of the proportions mentioned. At that time Governor Green told the legislature that It was hte purpose to have the state go on a strictly cash down, pay-as-you-go plan: tliat If the state did not have the money to pay for what It planned to buy, then ft wouldn't buy. He urged the legislature to help . him meet the situation; told them frankly that hte plan would be to raise by tax enough to cover the deficit, so that the state could be put upon a cash baste thereafter. That was done. The state in addition to the deficit was also Indebted In large amounts to road con­ tractors who had done work on the highways of this state, but were un­ able to gel their pay because there was MAKES FIRMING PAY AND PM WELL no money In the highway fund to meet their claims. This situation has also been met. All Indebtedness has been paid to contractors, and the state now pays promptly all sums due on rood contracts. Governor Green announced at that lime that he would put lhe highway business of the state on a business basis strictly; that he would make paymenu promptly when due and not ask contractors to hold for montlis. as some of them did under Mr. Groesbeck, their obligations against the state of Michigan for work honestly performed on the HillWDNfc * ~-----------*•*-------------We are going lo see this year lhe re­ sulU of Governor Green's manfully meeting a trying situation. It Inevi­ tably resulted in the Increase of taxes levied In 1027 over the previous year, when not enough was raised to meet the actual expenses of the slate, with the resulting deficit. The year 1028, however is the first one tn which Governor Green could really remedy this unbusinesslike condition left by his predecessor in office, because the taxes for 1927. spread in 1928 by the Groesbeck administra­ tion were not sufficient for the sUte expenses of 1927. The audit plainly showed that they were not. so that a large deficit resulted; but during 1928. Governor Green iuu not only wiped out all tiie state deficits, with the tax au­ thorised in 1927 by his own administra­ tion. but has gone strictly on the payas-you-go plan for 1028. The result Ohio surveyor, was plotting out this section of Iowa, he got hold of thia land and held it until a comparatively | COURT HOUSE NEWS this year for 1929. which will be 84,000.­ 000 leas than last year, as forecast by Auditor General O. B. Fuller, who has prepared a recommendation to the Bute Administrative Board. He ad­ vocates a state tax of 820,500,000 as compared with the 824,500.000 of last raised by general taxation. In com­ pliance with lhe legislative appropria­ tions for this year is 821.818,040 Mr. Puller recommends cutting 81318,040 from the legislative apportionment, as the State Administrative Board has the right to do. His schedule calls for a levy of 817,164.000 for state Institutions. 81.164.043 for miscellaneous expenses. He leaves It up to lhe State Adminis­ trative Board to lop off the 81318.404 pected to act upon his suggestion. This will make certain a big reduc­ tion In state taxes for every county in Michigan which will be welcome news. Be Independent In Times of Depression!

" BANNER WANT ADVS BRING RESULTS 15% Bushels More to the Acre—Champion Wheat Qrower Tells Why AST season Mr. Jacob Fields, of J Gaines, Genesee Co., Mich., was designated "Champion Wheat Grower” of bis county by the Flint Daily Journal. Titles are all right. But what about the monev? Did the crop pay? It certainly did. Mr. Fields planted 22 acres in wheat. His total yield was 1008 bushels—4544 bushels per acre—and sold for 91.25 per bushel,a premium of 8 cents. Other wheat in thig sec­ tion yielded only 30 bushels. A(r. Fields Mys, "'AA QUALITY’ Fertiliz­ ers increased my yield 1544 bushels per acre.” Wheat growers, you cannot afford to igpore this evidence. Calculate the extra profit for yourself. You will see that Mr. Fields actually got an added profit of 922.08 per acre by using "AA QUALITY" Fertilisers. Hundreds of other farmers have written similar letters. They all tell of bigger yields, better quality—and increased profits with "AA QUALITY” Fertilizers. These splendid crops are not due to luck or accident They are the result of sound farming methods and the use of the best fertilizer obtainable—that is, "AA QUALITY."

He is an attorney-at-law of long standing, and has the necessary legal training that should be a qualification of whoever holds this office. 2. He has been a banker for years and has a sound knowledge of property values. Investments and practical busi­ ness conditions, the better to enable him to direct the handling of estates. 3. Our business relations with him have been so satisfactory that he is the one we would choose to preside over the handling of our estates, or preside over the Juvenile court, should it ever be necessary for our children to face that tribunal. 4. We know that he possesses the moral stamina necessary to properly conduct the affairs of tills office. 5. We do not believe that It is fair, good business or conducive to the practical administration of a county office, for the voters to allow any per­ son to retain the position for life. We are basing our recommendation upon years of acquaintance and busi­ ness relations with Mr. Hughes, and for the purpose of showing to all of the voters of Barry county, the attitude taken by those who know him best. Look well to your ballot and make no mistake. . Delton State Bank by W. L. Thorpe, Cashier. 8. O. Gale. Dr. Bernard. Ellis E. Faulkner. Druggist. R. O. Henton. Funeral Director. Delton Lunch by A. J.

PUT 'EM IN THE WASTE BASKET fjAs the primary approaches it will be well for voters who want to do the fair thing, and to prevent any underhanded work from being successful, to nteh out for any last minute roorback at­ tacking some candidate so late In th* campaign that he has no chance to de­ fend himself. Voters have generally been quick to rebuke such tactics. We think they should be this year. If any of these last minute attacks and statelies, should be attempted. Il ought to result in a larger vote for the candidate who is attacked. There is no reason for anything but a clean campaign in Barry county. The voter* can clear the atmosphere and help in this primary election, as well as future contest* of this kind, if they will use their good, common sense and throw these last minute attacks Into the waste buket, and vote for the other fellow.

STOKOE For Judge of Probate Fred O. Stokoe being a candidate for the nomination for Judge of Probate at the primaries on the 4th of September, his friends of Middleville, democrats and republicans, feel that Barry county should be better informed as to his qualifications and fitness for this position. < His modest card will tell you of his years of service as supervisor of Thornapple township, and. the members of that board will tell you of his very marked aptitude for that work. His education is of the highest rank. His management of the creamery for 19 years speaks for itself. We hold that the makeup of this man is such that he is peculiarly fitted for this work. We who know hhn realize that he is possessed of the very high­ est type of honor and integrity. He is devoid of all personal animosity. No man yet has heard him speak ill of anyone, nor attempt to re­ taliate upon those who have done him harm.

Master Craftsmen in Granite and Marble township of Thornapple to whatever market the farmer was disposed to take a good road, Instead of liaving an ex­ cuse for a highway, of every road in the township.. As nearly as we can estimate, the township has about eight miles of trunk line highway and about ten miles of county road. Placing the highways a mile apart, which is lhe usual meth­ od. there should be 72 miles of road in every township. Probably with the mileage cut off by lakes and other ob­ stacles, lhe average would be not far from’TO miles. In the past eight years the township of Thomapple has built 42 miles of good, township highway. We say thia advisedly, because we travelled over these township high­ ways, practically every one of them, one afternoon since the last issue of the BANNER was printed. When Mr. Sherk began his work as township highway commissioner he had no equipment of machinery for road work. Later in this article we will tell what he now has and how well It works. He began his road work, as it is now carried on in practically every other township of the county, by hir­ ing teams and men; but he found this was too expensive and began to agitate for some equipment that would enable him to get more value in roads for the dollars that were expended. But he had to talk quite a little while before he got much machinery. The first four pensive to build a road without equip­ ment. But at the present time he can show 42 miles of township road, all gravelled. Of course It is not pretended that he can make and keep this In as good shape as a county rood; but it is what one could fairly ciH a good road—■gravelled, well maintained, easy lo carry a maximum load over praotlcaliy all of the 42 miles. gent request, the township bought two Ford trucks, which cost about 61.000. They are still in use and in good con­ dition. Two years ago the township purchased a bell conveyer and a sort of big scoop which could be operated in gravel pita drawing gravel to the con­ veyor, for the quick loading of the two trucks. One year ago the township bought a power grader that cost 63,000. In all the township has 63,600 Invested in road equipment. To illustrate Mr. Bherk's methods, as he was applying them on the townline road between Thomapple and Yankee Springs at the time of our visit—he did all the grading of the road on which his crew were then working without any teams, by using only the power grader. This shaped the road for the gravel. When that work had been done, then ha backed up his |>ower grader to the gravel pit and used it, in connection with the big scoop, to haul the gravel In the pit up to the belt conveyer, which in turn loaded the grave! on the | time of our visit. There were but four men employed; two of them were on Che trucks, one In the pit getting the material up to the conveyer, one oper­ ating lhe grader to haul the material in the pit up to lhe conveyer. We watched the loading of one truck. It took precisely a minute and 35 seconds to put about onc and one third yards of gravel into the hopper of that truck. hauling the gravel to the conveyer in the pit there Is also a chance to pick out the big stones. Fortunately it was a fine gravel pit. with excellent road material in It, so that it did not require much sorting of big stones. The shaping of this mile of road with the grader and covering it with two coats of gravel will cost the township of Thomapple not to exceed 6600. and may cost less than that when the work is finished. Then there will be a mile of good road to travel over. It will not be brought to the precise grades of a county or trunk line road, but will be shaped so that the water will run off and covered nine feet wide with gravel. Mr. Sherk has the trucks run over it In such a way as to keep a straight path, not a crooked path. By going over it occasionally with the grader the gravel will get to the width of that on the ordinary county road, which is supposed to be nine feet. It will naturally widen out to ten or 13 feet. But it is a good gravel road; and there are 43 miles of that kind in Thomapple township. The townsnip raises 65,000 a year lor highway purposes now and has been doing it for a few years back. Out of this there has been purchased the equipment which is now tn use and a little which Is not in use. Probably *4.000 has been spent all told for equip­ ment. Anyone who sees the outfit In operation can readily understand the great economy of this method of build­ ing township roads. Two trucks will handle more gravel, with the aid of the conveyer and the other equipment we have described, than a dosen teams. has than a dozen teams would cost, which would also mean a -dozen men with'Uie teams and would also Include several shovelers in the pit In Mr. Bherk's opinion the horse team method of building roads is as much out of date as would be the old method of cutting wheat with* a cradle as compared with a modem self binder. In two or three yean Ume, •very rod of roadway in Thomapple township that is not a part of a trunk to a good township gravel road, over which It will be possible to haul max­ imum loads by'truck or team.

The expense of maintaining them would not be heavy. Thc cost of building them would be but a fraction of what it costs the county or the state topulld a rood, because It isn’t necessary to conform to as low grades for road building, nor make the road bed anywhere near ns wide. But by getting at it and sticking to it. any of these townships we have mentioned could have a good system of township roods.— Take the other townships that we have not included. Assyria and Johns­ town. Baltimore and Hope, Irving and Rutland, Yankee Springs and OrangeIn the county as a whole there are substantially 100 miles of trunk line highway and 200 miles of county road. Possibly not all the county roads have been built, but at least that much has been planned for county roads. These mgy be increased to 300 miles. Esti­ mating 70 miles to the township, there would be 1120 miles of roadway In Barry county. Deducting 300 miles would show that there are 820 miles that township: must make and maintain; or, if the county shall build an additional 100 mile* of road. 720 miles. This would mean from 44 to 60 miles as the average for each township that the township Itself must build. That is a lot of road. It cannot of course be done in the man­ ner in which the county and state build their roads. It cannot be made to conform to six precent grades. But it can be graded, covered with good gravel and maintained at comparative­ ly light expense with the tools which the township of Thornapple Is using, if any township will set about it. Take for Instance Uie township of Hastings. It has on Its town lines and within it 16 miles of trunk line road and 10 miles of county road, or a total mileage within it of substantially 26 miles that have already been built. There would remain, leaving out the dty, about 40 miles of-highway for the townsiiip to build. That never will be done with team work, any more than farmer could carry on a modern farm without up-to-date equipment. But if Hastings or any other townsiiip will buy such equipment as Thomapple has. with the excellent gravel that can be found in nearly every township, and without attempting to make six percent grades, but simply to shape the high The Fall Fabrics Black Crepe Satin in two qualities of this lovely fall fabric.

This in-| formation is passed on to the gang that plans to loot this particular bank and Is thoroughly studied. The spotter gets a percentage of the loot, whatever that . may be. Mr Wing said sometimes this | spotter may stay as long as a month in ; a given town, making a thorough and accurate study of the whole situation. 1 When thc robbers come lo a town । they usually steal in some other town, two high class, high speed automobiles | for their purpose Onc of these is left at a.convenient place just outside the town. The other Is used to approach ; the bank and make their get-away and > reach the place where the other auto-1 mobile was left. Their plans arc well laid to throw pursuers off the scent af- ' ter they finish their job ot robbing the bank. Mr Wing described the particular robbery for which this bandit is serving 1 time. He was the leader of the gang, alt of whom were captured through the good work of Vigilantes. This partlcuiar man. with an associate, crept into i the home of lhe cashier of the bank they robbed, made their way to thc bedroom, and when they had taken their places at the foot of thc bed where the cashier and his wife were' asleep, roused them by saying; "Don’t scream or make any noise or we will shoot and shoot lo kill." Naturally thc cashier and his wife II made no outcry. They were then or- I dered to dress and told to keep still, ex- I cept to answer such questions as were I put to them by the two robbers. They I did carry on conversation until nearly I daylight, when thc robbers went with I the cashier to the bank, leaving his I wife and another inmate in thc house. I bound and gagged, where they were I found later At the bank they were I joined by other confederates, all of I whom except the driver went into thc I bank. As fast as each employee arrived I he was covered with a revolver and I placed where i)c could not be seen or-I communicate with any other person In I thus way the robbers got all the ip- I mates of the bank in their power, and I waited until lhe moment for thc time I lock to operate. They then comix'lled ,1 the cashier to go In the vault and open the safe. They took all the currency I and many thousand dollars of negotl-1 able securities and started to make their exit from the town in their auto-r mobile. Before they left the bonk the robbers told the bank employees that I if they attempted lo show themselves | outside the bank before they got into the automobile they would kill anyone of them who showed up. Naturally 1 they didn't show up until they heard the car start, then the alarm was given, i The news fiaBked lo tlx Vigilantes They began firing at the robbers, j wounding three of the bandits before they got away from the town.

Commissioner of Agriculture, states that it is impos­ sible for the department now to tail what the legislature ot Michigan will do until it gels in session; but that in whether required to do so by state authority or not. to cut com Just as । close to thc ground a* possible, leaving the stubble as short os it can be and plow the stubble under to a good depth and roll it down. Thi* will be an effective way of getting rid of any corn borers that may have found lodgement in th* lower part of tha stalk or in the roots of the com. The plowing may be done this fall. - . • Another thing recommended, i^iilch every person who raises any corn this year ought to be glad to do. is to put all Ute crop they can Into silos. This pro­ cess of making ensilage completely de­ stroys the borer. Any stalks that ore not used for ensilage should be shred­ . cfed fine. That will make better feed and will also destroy coni borers Al) com litter about bams or stables should be burned. I Every fanner ought to do this for his own protection as well as to aid the ' fight against lhe borer.

We went in cabs for a tour of the dty. and saw the famous old Pantheon, one of the few buildings spared by the Goths and Vandals, which was built vby Marcus Agrippa twenty seven years before the Christian era The great painter Raphael is buried in it and also some king, but I have forgotten which one. I am afraid I have forgotten half we have seen on this trip, but we do so much it Is impossible to remember everything Probably Aunt Flo could, but this "dumb bunny" Just can’t—it poor brain Is normal and my tired feet are rested ’ I get so dreadfully tired. I just trot along with the crowd like a little spotted Shetland pony on a bridle path. We took the famous Janlculiem drive, a famous old road­ way with busts of noted Romans on the side, up over the Tnwtevere Territory, which took us to where we got a beaufamous statue of Garibaldi, and then down lhc other side of the hill to the Vatican and St. Peters. The Cathedral of St Peters was founded by Constan­ tine more than fifteen centuries ago and is the largest church in the world and of course, the richest It simply can not be described. Not until we ascended the steps. passed in through the jortlco and the great door way and had advanced some distance in the church, did we realize the vastness of the structure.

MORAL EQUIPMENT OF INDIVIDUAL GIVEN STRENGTH ever expect* to fail. The lamp of hope burn* brightly when one la young. But hop% alone cannot bring succes*. right lines. Steadily, step by step, ths desired ends must be attained. 'Where there is persistent effort with freedom from wrongful methods of conduct and living, there can be no such thing m ultimate failure. Thrift keeps one constantly within the bounds of prudent living. Failure In a general way. moral soundness, as well as economic stability, therefore, are inevitable accompaniments of thrift practice. Thrift Is a character tonic.' It de­ velops the. will and strengthens the moral fibre. Through it one is better able to forego these habits of life that are harmful. It equips us both for tha temptations and the vicissitudes of life. No man can practice thrift without being not only independent financially but a better citizen in general. It is these aspects of thrift which should ap­ peal strongly to parents and to all per­ sons engaged In.educational duties. Let us send forth our young men and opr young women into the world with a thorough appreciation of tiie moral a* well as lhe material values of thrift. Success in life is not lo be measured by material standards, but by moral onc*. Learn the value of thrift. No better safeguard against failure can be provided than such an equipment.—8. W.

The Wealth of Any Community is Measured By the Value of its Products A good milk producing herd of cows is an asset to any community, be,cause of the value of its products. There is Great Satisfaction and a Just Profit in Such a Dairy Business as Appears Here The Possibility of Profit in this endeavor is not limited to any one indi­ vidual or locality— You Can Do As Well If You Wish to By Applying Good Business . Principles to a First Class Dairy Herd There gan like more of sincerely are many Dairy Farms in Michi­ this one. There should be many them in Barry county. And we believe there will be before many years. During the past two years we have placed on the farms in this vicinity several car loads of COWS WITH HIGH MILK PRODUCING RECORDS. Steadily and Surely Many of Our Patrons Are Increasing the Production of Their Herds By Getting Better Cows and Not More Cows If an acre of ground that usually produces I 50 bushels of corn can be made to produce 250 bushels with practically the same expense and work it has increased its worth (production) 66 2-3 per cent. The Same Rule Applies to Cows. Think it Over. Have You a Cow You Would Trade for a Better Milk Producer? This Company always stands ready to render every assistance in its power to secure more milk from the herds in this trade area. Every pro­ ducer of milk will find a permanent market with us.

The accident toppened on the Whltneyvllle road leading south from U. 8. 16 at a point about four miles north from where the paving begins north of Middleville, on Grand Rapids road. Naturally when a thing , happens so quickly as did this accident, the''ac­ counts do not agree. Mr. Verstay claims that the Brown car was op hl* side of the roadway and that he Mttempted to escape a collision by crotolng over onto Brown1* car's side of the highway and that the driver of the Brown car attempted to get over onto his own side at the same time and that this caused the collision. But the fact remains that the smash-up occurred on the Brown car’s side of the road. Mr. Brown and Linton both claim that when they saw the Verstay-car coming over the top of the hill at high speed and then start swiftly down the incline that they were not on Verstay1* side.

To their surprise they uy Mr. Verstay headed his car for the same side of the rood and never put on the brakes so smashed into them. , Mr. Verstay is a mall carrier, an ex­ perienced driver himself, but the whole thing happened so quickly after the automobiles came in sight of each oth­ er that there was not much time given for thinking or acting and the colli­ sion occurred very.soon thereafter. If Mr. Brown Is right as to the speed of his car going up the hill, say 40 miles an hour, it was going 60 feet a second. He thinks the other Pontiac car was travelling well toward 60 miles an hour, which would be at the rate of 90 feet a second. Ono can realize how. in such a short time, such an accident could oc­ cur. Verstay, his 12 year old son and Wil­ lard Vanderstolp. also aged 12. were on their way home from Lake Al-GonQuln. where they had been fishing. It is claimed that they were making good speed because Verstay was expected to reuch his home in time for an early supper. None could regret more than does Mr. Brown that the death of young Verstay resulted from the accident. But he feels that it was an accident for which his car was not responsible, and that it would not have occurred liad Mr. Verstay kept to his own side of the rood. OUR STAINLESS FLAG. O'er battlements and ramparts In the days of heat and strife. When Freedom, wrapped in swaddling clothes, looked smilingly at life. Old Glory waved, all radiant with tri­ umph and success. No blemish lurked within her folds to mar her loveliness. And hearts aflame with passion far freedom's holy reign Did homage to Old Glory—the flag without a stain I Tho' tyrants still Imperil sovereign peo- leash the dogs of war, The emblem of our freedom boldly rip­ ples in the breeze And hurls defiance at the autocrats (Continued from pnge one) The state's portion of the paving is 20 feet and the city's Is all in excess of that, which in this case would be about 28 or 29/eet. The lowest bidder for all the work was Wm. Neale and Son of Galesburg. This firm will be remembered by Has- i tings people as the one who pul In the paving on South Hanover, as well as on North Broadway and west on the Cetnetery Road to the city limits. Every­ body remembers that that was a mighty good job of paving and will hope the bid of Messrs. Neal and Bon may be ac- I cepted by the State Administrative 1 Board which has lhe final authority in i passing all bids involving the state. | The method'of bidding on a state road contract is only on the actual work and materials ouUide of the j cement. The state furnishes all the cement. The bid of Messrs. Neale and Bon was 11.35 per square yard, paving to be done on Broadway to a depth of eight inches and on Oreen street to a depth of seven inches. The city's proportion of the paving of Broadway, leaving out the cement and lhe engineering expense, amount* to $4,916.13. Adding the city’s propor­ tion for the cement and lhe engineer­ ing service will bring the total cost up to about $7,400. which is about $1,000 less than the estimated expense figured by the engineer whether the matter wac first brought to the attention of the council. The council held a regular session Wednesday which was really an ad­ journment of lhe meeting of the Fri­ day night before, in which the council approved lhe state plans for the paving of Broadway and West Oreen Street on condition tiiat the city pay its propor­ Ijtlon tlon of of thc lhe expense expense of of paving paving Broadway Broadway J “nd that the state shall bear lhe cnl*re expense of paving We*t Green street,fmm fromth. the.nri endntofth, thenrwnf presentriav. pav­ ing on that street to the bridge over West Creek, to a full width of 28 feet and to a width of 20 feet from the bridge on to the town line. It is expected to complete the paving of Broadway very soon. There will be a lot of grading to be done on West Green street at the turn at the top of West Creek hill. The road is to be straightened so as to make the curve far less than it now it. lower the grade from what it is at present, al­ so take out the trees on the south side pf the road, making it possible to see approaching cars for a much longer distance than Is now possible. The bridge over West Creek will lx- mode much wider, probably to the full 20 feet width. I • From West Creek westward it will be remembered th*£ there Is a bad curve a few rod* beyond the creek. It is the plan of the state to cut into the bank on thc north side of lhe road quite a little for the purpose of reducing that curve and making a considerable fill Immediately beyond the curve. It is also planned to make a little change In the intersection at the town line, but not much. To make these changes In the road­ way Itself will Involve a good deal of work and require a considerable time, so much that it I* doubtful if the pav­ ing of West Green street can be com­ pleted thl* fall.

This will Involve a lot of work at the lop of the hill near the Will Gor­ ham place anti between that and thc llltl* creek east of the hill. There will be a 600 foot curve where M-43 branch­ es off from the Prairieville road. The double corners near the Knickerbocker place will also be eliminated by an easy curve. A 600 foot curve will be put In at the Yeckley school house, also al the Waters corner and an easy curve will do away with the three comers near the Fred Smith farm in Rutland. AU of this will require -a good deal of grading. The ground should settle be­ fore paving is actually undertaken.

POLITICAL OPERA­ TION WASTEFUL One of the best examples of tiie wis­ dom pf private ownership as compared with public ownership Is our railroads. They are privately owned and publicly regulated, with tha result that we have the largest traffic, best service, high­ est-paid labor and lowest rate*, of any country In the world. In contrast with this Great Britain. Germany, France and other European See countries where the railroads arc pub­ licly owned and politically operated, pay 50 to 75 per cent lower wages, and charge rates much higher than we pay. while giving service which is generally inferior to our*. There may be theoretical arguments favorable to public ownership of in­ dustry but they fall to the ground in a free country like the United States. The greatest objection to such a system is its Inseparable companion—political operation—which makes public own­ ership in practice an economic misfit. We had our experience with political operation of the railroads during the war. With impaired service and. the highest freight and poownger rates ever imposed, expense ot operation *xceeded by hundreds of millions the revenue received. The changed con­ ditions since they were returned to private control to an unanswerable argument against this socialistic plan. Goodyear Prices Smashed!

A strike was threatened in all the ship yards and plants In this country If wo would not set the price at >1J7 1-2. To this de­ mand the committee refused to submt and Anally, after days and nights of discussion, a compromise price of $2.20 was agreed upon."

Mr. McKavey told the BANNER rep­ resentative that he was prepared to gel onto tlie Job as soon as tiie matter is definitely passed upon by the Ad­ ministrative Board and that, while he would do no paving this fall, he could work on the relocation of the roadway without Interfering with traffic until the time for paving, which will be next spring. In the meantime the Shults detour will be completed by November 15, so that next spring, when the paving shall begin, traffic can be diverted across through Shults to the Camp Ground road. The people of this city and county will be glad to know that the paving of M-43 for the six and three quarters miles southwest of the city limits of Hastings will be done in the very near future. The contract price for the paving was *203,000 The next bid was only about *4.000 higher, which shows that thc competition was keen, Mr. McKavey was so well pleased on' his first visit to Hastings that he says that, if everything goes along all right, he will move his headquarters from Royal Oak to thb dty. as there prom­ ises to be d considerable paving in this section of the state and Hastings will be well located for him. * Harry Woodmansee vs. E.

HOW Mr. Hoover_ “found" foreign markets for much food stuff after the armistice and the various things he did to "sustain the market” for the benefit of tlie farmer when everything was collapsing in those hectic days imme­ diately following the sudden and un­ expected closing of thc war—all this Is unwritten history, which tbe general public will never know, but which, if tha farmer knew, he *ould recognise in Mr. Hoover the best friend be ever had, both during and after the con­ flict. . Not only did he serve the country as no other living man could have served it, because of his magnificent ability and his wide experience, but HE DfD IT WITHOUT A CENT OF REMUN­ ERATION. Besides that, thou who were with him in dally work win tell you. as they have told me, that when an over-enthusiastic assistant did something of which he could not ap­ prove, Mr. Hoover paid lhe bills from his own pocket and killed the thing on the spot. Mr. Hoover is a marvelous executive. He Is not a dictator, but has an uncan­ ny ability tn finding the men who "know things" and one in a position tn come to sane conclusions and then use these conclusions. This Is my deliberate Judgment from what I know of him and his work through others and from my own contacts with this very unusual character. E. Davenport. LABOR EFFICIENCY AND PROGRESS ARE AMONG RESULTS Greater significance will be given to Labor Day this year if. In celebrating It, we shall do so in the spirit with which Lincoln spoke when he said: "Educated people must labor, other­ wise education Itself would become a positive and Intolerable evil. No coun­ try can sustain in idleness more than a small percentage of its members. Tlie greater majority must labor at something productive. From these premises the problem springs: "How can labor and education be most satis­ factorily combined? ’ " Recent investigations have shown that there is a connection between illit­ eracy and labor inefficiency. In an eastern state where a great number of Illiterate aliens reside it has been found that an amazing proportion of those persons are Incapable of being taught how to operate labor-saving machinery. Labor too often is looked upon as a mere mechanical process. Too many people, not familiar with the circum­ stances, regard laborers as human machines.

Very often thc professional trader comes back at -jjw protectionist's as­ roil haIS.— sertion concerning' high wages In Am­ erica with the reply lhat while our wages may be higher under protection, the protective system makes our cost of ■living higher, so that after all nothing Is gained. Even if this contention were true it could be easily answered. Re­ 1. 10th ducing the tariff in America does not merely lower wages and lower cost of commodities, it throws millions of men FOR HA 1.1 out of work so that they are unable to buy no matter what thc price. But the Department of Labor re­ cently issued some statistics which show that higher American wages are not Ft'RNIHIIRD APAHTM only higher in dollars and cents but buy a great deal more than in any other country on the globe. We do not need statistics however to know this. For in what other country than in America can the worker drive an automobile, give his children a good education and enjoy the things which go to make life worth living? But tlie labor statistics tell us some­ thing more. They show us that lhe purchasing power of the American work­ er Is increasing—in other words our American wages are going up while the cost of living is not. For Instance: the wages of a worker In 1926 would buy for himself and his family 30.7 per cent more of the nec­ essaries of life than his wages would Fred Hill. Haalinca Tsblojbuy back In 1913. 9.51 Of course things cost more now than “*prte* ln 19131 but the have risen much a.a.' Imore rapidly than lite cost of living. 9 5 enabling the worker to live better than with; ever before in the history of America j and in the history of the world, for that matter. w.i’ Tlle ^Sures show further that since 9 5 1922 there has been a steady Increase । Sai- in wages per hour. During this time Wnitti. the cost of living has not gone up in the same proportion, and it is to be re­ membered that we have been living under a protective tariff. Small wonder then that the free traders are somewhat quiescent as the 1928 campaign opens With the farm­ ers ot the West and South demanding more protection there isn't much for the free traders to talk about. But they will be back on the job when the election is over and Congress convenes again. ’Foil HALl W. G.

Thc United States is the chief coun­ try in history where capital, instead of ■usurping power to arbitrarily increase itself, has wortiMI towards paying Die highest possible' wages, selling at the 'owest possible profit, and earning as 'title on the Investment Involved as Is economically and progressively sound. The old fear of gigantic finance came from a time when the financier was considered the enemy of the rights and the wishes of the people. Today that fear is disappearing. Knowledge has shown the people that American capitalism ■ a great democraticlzlng influence, laboring to bring about general prosperity and national unity of thought and feeling. The present state of sincere amity be­ tween labor and capital is the direct result of a wise capitalism that has made the American worker the best living and best paid in the world, and has given him a definite and enviable olace in society. Strikes do not come from the pay­ ment of high wages. Our people know they buy commodities at lower prices than would be possible under any other system, with an equal wage and living standard.

He has not hesitated to use the veto power where it seemed necessary to prevent the । United States treasury from being 1 raided for purposes that were not ab­ solutely essential. He has held con| sistently to the view that the first Job of the United States is to pay its debts.

Indeed, in the matter of safety provisions. Michigan is unexcelled, and the super-elevations at curves, common in Michigan, are less frequent in the other states mentioned. This situation seems to be the subject of general com­ ment of travelers who tour Michigan and lhe eastern stales. It must be concluded by this obser­ vation tlu.t the states of Pennsylvania ■nd New Yoik disregard this phase but it is quite evident that Michigan is giving more attention to thb clement of road construction than is common Ui numerous other states. The progress of highway develop­ ment tn the territory described, in­ cludes the replacing of bridges by mod­ ern structures, and this development is noteworthy. but tn none of the states mentioned are there more splendid modern bridge structures and grade separations than Michigan can show In a similar area. . The Wolverine stale need make no apology for its road development and tills commonwealth can feel a justifi­ able pride in its highway department, cordially supported by a governor and State Administrative Board whose alm U to establish in Michigan a highway system, not only adequate to lhe state’s needs, but os durable and safe as sctenlllic engineering and wise admin*^ Istra tlon can achieve.—Michigan floods and Pavements.

What isreally In tho mlnfi* of peo­ ple in the United States, and what ought to be in the minds ot people In the British commonwealth, too, is the question whether in the future any naval power, either Great Britain or the United States or Japan, is to be allow­ ed, in waging its own ••private" wars, to Interrupt the trade of the rest of the world, as it is entitled to do under in­ ternational law as it exists today. So long as "private" war is not outlawed, and naval powers claim thc right to MOTORS interfere with neutral trade under In­ ternational law, then naval , oom peti­ tion is inevitable. If. on the other hand, the naval powers are willing to consider developing a .system of inter­ national treaties which would limit their own right to declare a blockade to occasions Justified by international authority ot some kind, then not only would a large reduction of naval ex­ penditure all round seem to be in sight, but a new and vital element would be brought into the problem of world peace.—Round Table, London.

He had been in the employ of the Stout Airplane Company for three months and was considered one of their best pilots. He had a perfect flying record with the firm. He was a second lieutenant with the United States army air service and was stationed at Langley Field. Virgin­ ia. until he joined the Detroit firm last May. While at Langley field he made his record in flying huge bombardment planes. His early Instruction was gain­ ’d at Kelly field In Texas. Since comng to Detroit he had piloted passen­ ger planes on the Detroit-Cleveland run and also had taken sight seeing planes over the dty. He was a fine type of young man and his untimely death 13 deeply mourned by all who knew him. George Stowell was the nephew of Fred G. Stowell of this dty and is sur­ vived by two brothers.

He has a wide reputation as a leader in clean, original fun and humor. Thus we have outlined the four pro­ grams of the Evening Star Festival, which will bring to Hastings four de­ lightful entertainment* at lea* than the price you would pay for any one of them at a dty theater, if you buy a season ticket. Everyone who attended thc Evening Star Festival a year ago was delighted with it. and that led to the unanimous agreement of the com­ mittee to sign up for this year. The program for th|s year is even better than the one of a year ago. Just as was done before, the entire net proceeds of the course will be given to Pennock hospital, for the purpose of helping to build the much needed nurses’ lodge, which would give the hospital about four or flve additional rooms for patients; and they are great­ ly needed.

GOOD ROADS MAKE THE WORLD KIN Paved city streets and Improved highways leading to the dty. affect the growth and prosperity of the commun­ ity in many ways. In the first place, cost of upkeep of an unimproved street or highway is much greater than If thc thoroughfare were paved. Thc entire surface of a paved street Is usable; that is. there are not two lines or ruts which the traffic follows, as on a dirt or gravel road. Therefore, "paving in­ creases the capacity of streets and highways. Paving enhances property values and acta as an Inducement for home owners to improve the appear­ ance of their grounds and houses, making that street a more pleasant place to live on.

In Allegan, after a heavy loss last I year, they were able to Just about play, even thb year by cutting down ^hc at-! tractions from ton or a dozen-loAwo or three, reducing the premium Ibt andi cutting out other expenses.

Hatting*, Michigan Saturday, Sept. 15th TAX REFORM BEGINS AT HOME. “Clearly the solution of our own local tax problem is local." said the Wall Street Journal recently. "New . England is already begining to per­ ceive that imposing heavy tax burdens on thc textile industry is no way to secure employment, profits and pros­ perity. The farmer in the West Is carrying a much heavier burden in taxes than freight rates ever imposed. It was his own politicians who imposed the taxes after they had fooled him into believing that somebody else would pay Uiem. Here is another case where reform begins at home. । “This is a subject which requires much more discussion titan it has ever received. Our local tax burden Is more । than twice as heavy as that imposed for federal purposes and it is growing worse nt the rale of 81.000,000,000 a Various ways of bringing about a reform have been suggested. Many of them are valuable and practical, such as more explicit and standardized bud­ get laws. But the difficulties In the main are unsolved and thc tax burden Imposed by local units of government continues to soar skyward. The tax situation must be considered one of the most important problems of the times. If tiie reason is the obvious one—that politics has deserted business methods—it is high tin\p that we put business again into government before the expense reaches such dimensions that it permanently damages our pros­ perity. LIGHTING THE WORLD. It was not so much a struggle of the Colonies against tiie tyranny of bad government as' against wrong principle of government, and for self-govern­ ment. It was man realizing himself. It marched on. Against it the powers of privilege and the forces of despot­ ism could not prevail. Superstition and sham cannot stand before intel­ ligence and reality. Ths light that first broke over the thirteen Colonies [lying along the Atlantic was destined to illumine the world.—Calvin Coolidge.

BESSMER and out-of-doort RURAL DEVELOPMENT UNDERG0ING GREAT CHANGE In its 45 years of existence, the elec­ tric industry has reached not only every urban community of any im­ portance in Ute United State* with light and power service, but rural elec­ trification on a national scale to today an accepted fact. On January 1. 1927. Tiie National Electric Light Asson. estimated that 350.000 farms received electric service from utility company distribution lines. Electricity Illuminates the farm house, barns, garage, poultry houses, and other buildings, heat* the incuba­ tor and water for animate and poultry during the winter, operates the electric range, electric Iron, toaster, vacuum clconer and other household conven­ iences; but. perhaps, It renders it* greatest service on the farm in fur­ nishing power for shelling and grinding com. threshing barley, separ­ ating milk, cutting ensilage and fodder, stuffing sausage*, milking cows, churn­ ing butter, etc. A recent survey show­ ed over 100 farm use* for electricity, and the list to being enlarged daily. Donald Affleck, tn central Hudson Bulletin, sum* it up thusly: ’The real contribution which electricity has mad* to rural development lie* In the tael that it has raised the standard of liv­ ing in outlying sections by removing much of the drudgery connected with th* everyday duties of ths fanner, and In bringing lq him and elated with MASS PRODUCTION AN ECONOMIC NECESSITY. Great’industry today operates on an amazingly narrow margin of profit. 'Die ideal of mass production, with tremendous turnover and a small In­ dividual profit, has taken firm hold. A good example Is Uie American tele­ phone Industry, which has readied peak efficiency in giving service by centralization of facilities. Coordina­ tion ha* replaced cut-throat competi­ tion and small-time business methods. The Impossibility of any small, lo­ calised company being able to furnish adequate telephone service is obvious. Where once "big busincM** was con­ sidered a manifest danger to pubilo welfare. It ia now commonly under­ stood as an economic necessity.

Then there were the street comer arguments always attract­ ing a crowd. Men took their politics straight, they were either Republicans or Democrats from principle, or because they followed the faith of their fathers. But now it has all changed. The great and spectacular parades are sel­ dom if ever held, and the gasoline torch has given away to the red fire whenever there is a procession at all which is not often. There are still mass meetings, to be sure, but they do not compare with those of the old days and are get­ ting scarcer each campaign year. And most ot thc people are too busy now to stop and listen to street corner ar­ guments. were there any street comer politicians to lead the arguments. A great many things have brought this change to pass.

Then later has come the radio with the result that one may now sit at home In the evening and hear the candidates' speech more clearly and more comfortably than in a crowded MICH. hall. And the day is not far distant when we shall see him as well os hear him by wireless. Party lines are not nearly so rigid as formerly. Men and women do not take their party faith as seriously as they once did. Thc primary has helped bring this change about and the so-called In­ dependent newspaper has added to the new condition. Whether this change from partisanship is a good one remains to be seen. There are,still a great many people who believe that the loss of par­ tisanship will mark a sad and undesir­ able change In American government. ' At any rate the atyle of political cam­ paign has changed and there is noth­ ing that we can do about it. REAL PROTECTION FOR IN­ DUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE. ."Some farm leaders, fortunately they represent but a tnlnority of our real fanners, have declared if they could not get legislation which would raise the price of farm products they would insist on legislation which would re­ duce the price of manufactured goods," said the Cando, North Dakota. Herald recently. "This is taken to mean that if they cannot get the prices raised by statute—always an uncertain and per­ ilous undertaking—they will Insist that the protective tariff rates be re­ duced. They tnreaten this action un­ der the mistaken impression that it would help the farmer. "No theory could be farther from the truth. In the first place. It Is to be doubted whether removing the tariff would reduce the cost of living. Certain it k that tl»e cost of living was not in­ creased by the passage of the Fordney-McCumber tariff. And certain it is too that all of tiie products which are' used exclusively on the farm are now on the free list anyhow." Behind all of the talk about the tariff Is one unalterable fact: The tariff is our protection against com­ petition from countries where the wage scale and living standard are so low as to be hardly Imaginable In this nation of high wages and luxuries. And the farmer and the industrial worker arc two great classes of citixens who bene­ fit from this necessary protection. The members of thc Pennsylvania club plow eight <rt nine inches deep on an average, while tho champion grower plowed 15 inches deep. Thc seed In'd is worked Into a mellow state by fre­ quent disking ami harrowing. Alnunt without exception, the record potato yields were grown in fields which had been in elover tho previous season. Barnyard mnnure at the rate of eight tu ten loads per ncro wore applied witn a manure sprender and 1000 pounds per aero of commrrcinl fertiliser were used by the majority of those achieving thc 400 hnshel mark. Tho average num her of sprays applied was nihe, with thc highest yields being obtained with 15 and 18 sprays. Traction ami power driven sprayers capable of maintaining a pressure of 200 to .300 or more pounds per square inch were , used. Certified seed wn* planted in mo‘»t instances. TEACHING THRIFT IN OUR SCHOOLS. During the school year Just opened far greater attention to the teaching of thrift will be given than at any previous time. Probably no less than 10.000.000 students will then be gaining educational help In thrift. In some schools no effort has been made in thrift education to go further than tiie establishment ot school sav­ ings banks. Tn others, the bank work is supplemented by certain lessons in thrift Imparted by the teachers. In still other schools, real Instructions in thrift along correct scientific lines have been adopted. The latter method is the one to which all schools should work. Near the close of the last school year., the outline of a thrift study course for grades one to eight inclu­ sive. was completed and issued by the American Society for Thrift after thir­ teen years of research and study by various educators. This outline does not provide a separate course in thrift but. by concrete example, shows how thrift can be applied to many of thc common branches. During the spring and summer many schools throughout thc country secured copies of this outline of thrift study with a view of Introducing thc work in thc curriculum this year. We believe very few people today deprecate the value of thrift. Surely one cannot over-estimate Its worth when properly expounded in the class­ room. Tiie work of the school system of this nation has been greatly enriched by the introduction of thrift teachings in this practical form Thc nation that teaches thrift to its young need have no fears about Ha future place among the nations of men.—By 8.

"Yet. are they not doing work comparable to that ot Michelangelo, known for his sculpture, painting and poetry; Raffaello, famous Italian painter; and In our own country. Loredo Taft, famous sculptor? ■These men's achievements have been for a personal appeal—an appeal to the finer senses. Their achieve­ ments have been enduring, and have been pleasing to the generations bom long after the artist's death. "What could be a more fitting mon­ ument to an artist of public highways, than an outstanding highway, built to aid the pleasure seekers, and made to endure for years? It Is a pity that we do not look on the road builders as Craftsmen, rather than men hired to do a given job. They are really doing more than artists, the sculptors, the poets—they are making it possible for business as well as pleasure seekers to benefit by their work. "Thb parallel between thc road builder and the artist is not so strained as It may appear. More and more, art Is being brought to purposes of utility —to satisfy both body and soul. Cer-1 talnly he who builds a beautiful and J permanent highway that gives pleasure j and profit to those who travel over it.' merits the designation of artist.

For The President Eight roadsters and sedans which made the greatest record in the his­ tory of tranuportation were chosen at random from the Studebaker as­ sembly line by A. A. A. officials. At Atlantic City Speedway these four ahining-new President Eights, their motors sealed by the A. A. A., swung wide-open into an ordeal such as no cars ever faced before. For 19 days and 18 nights the two roadsters aver­ aged better than 68 miles per hour, the sedans 64.15 and 63.99 miles per hour!

An investi­ gation will siiow that it would be very little; so that os Congressman Victor Burger, socialist from Milwaukee, has declared he would be a disappointment to lhe people who may vote for him on This is the situation: Congress makes the laws and the President does not. Congress is dry and (he laws are dry. A targe majority of the republican members ot the next house, as of the present house, are dry. Of the demo­ cratic members an overwhelming ma­ jority. In fact practically all. from the southern states will be bone dry. How could Smith go about to take the law­ making power out of the hands of con­ gress, or make a dry congress vote against its own convictions? If a change were to be attempted by Mr. Smith in the Volstead Act. the proposition would first have to go to the judiciary committee. As the com­ mittee now stands, and has stood for many years and will stand In the next congress, no matter which party wins, the big majority of thc judiciary com­ mittee in both houses will be dry. There was only one wet member In the last judiciary ' committee, which had thirteen members. It will be seen how absurd It Is to expect Mr. Smith to make any change in the situation as It exists today. He has promised that unless the taw Is changed he will thoroughly enforce the taw just as it stands today. It can be seen that no relief from prohibition is in sight for those voters who may be 10 vo<e for 8mlth becau*« hp ’ “ Suppose there should be a big change in the membership of congress which, however, is not likely to happen. But suppoae it did. Suppose that congress wotlld attempt to make laws that would, as Governor Smith urges, make each state the judge of what liquors it would have manufactured nnd sold In iLs own limits. Suppose congress should pass tho law? Such a law would, as the supreme court has ruled already, be unconstitutional and would not stand be In harmony with the 18th amend­ ment. the purpose of which is to pre­ vent the manufacture and sale ot liquor, as It plainly says. So the mat­ ter of any law that congress might pass would have to go to the federal courts. The federal courts would uphold the oonstltutlon. They always have. Then the question would get to the point: How could such a law as Mr. Smith wants be passed and be made valid? The only way that that could possibly happen would be to change lhe 18th amendment. That Is some job. Tiie 18th amendment was put In the constitution by 44 of the 48 states. It will take the affirmative action of 36 of the states to change the 18th amendment. Where are the 38 states that would do it? Nearly 38 states, as we recall It, had of their own accord voted prohibition within Uie borders of their states. It is not to be expected that they would go back on what they liad previously done tBul even If every northern state would do that and vote to change the 18th amendment—which certainly will not happen, because most of them will stand where they did be- fore—there would still be enough southern states dominated by Mr. Smith's own party that would forever put an end to any thought of changing would be like if al) newspapers should hope anybody indulges that Mr. Smith suddenly cease publication, a statement could make any radical changes in the credited to the Editorial Opinion of tho Volstead law: and he certainly will Anglo-California Trust Company says cliange the 18th amendment.

FALL DISTRIBUTION OF FISH BY . DEPARTMENT. Lansing. Sept. 10.—Starting the mid­ dle of the present month, the Pish Di­ vision of the Conservation Department will begin Its fall distribution of fish. There is little activity at the present tunc but the machinery Is prepared for thc fall campaign. Creel census reports made out by Conservation Department officers and forwarded to the Pish Division indi­ cates that there was a large number of limit catches of trout this year. Fishermen who have been questioned by Department employes expressed sat­ isfaction with the trout fishing during the past season. With the closing of the fishing sea­ son the Department will compile sta­ tistics from the Individual reports that have been made both by fishermen and officers of the department. Jhls Information, while not thoroughly in­ dicative of the fishing conditions, nev­ ertheless supplies the department with some valuable figures. NEW LICENSE BUTTONS. Lansing, Sept 10.—With lhe hunting season approaching, seekers of game are looking forward to donning the new license buttons that the Depart­ ment of Conservation is Issuing. The buttons, about 480,000 in number, have all been shipped out to distribution points so that all is in readiness for the license rush. Conservation Depart­ ment officers predict that lhe button plan will materially cut down the numcenses. The badge is large enough to distance.

While last year The total grape crop Is forecast by the department at 2,844.764 tons as against 2.608,712 tons last year. Of this quantity. California will produce 2,538.400 tons of grapes of all classes compared with 2,406,000 tons in 1927. All states outside of California expect a combined crop of 306,000 tons of grapes, or 53 per cent more than their light production of last season. Eight other western states, with probably 11,­ 387 tons, sliow very little Increase over 1927. but ths leading eastern and mldweatem sections report sharp gains. Reports from California, says the bureau. Indicate that everything prac­ ticable will be done this season to limit the California carlot output to 65.000 or 70.000 cars, which would be con­ siderably less than in 1927 or 1925 but about the same as in 1926. Severe competition is being met this year from rather heavy crops of peaches, peon, apples and other deciduous fruits, whereas last year these fruits were in relatively MU supply. "Doubtless." says the bureau's re­ port, “the quantity used in the com­ mercial manufacture ot juice will liave to be increased, in order to utilize the crop. At present, there is every Indi­ cation of an ample market supply ot all classes and varieties of grapes, both eastern and western stock, and it will require careful grading and packing and wide distribution to prevent the season from being unprofitable to growers and shippers." alongside the hood; chromaplated spare wheel clamper and a folding trunk rack. there were eighty-one persons killed on the American railroads, all except ten of these deaths were due to causes beyond the control of the railroads.

The book to a rapid recital of the birth, growth and political flowering of the "patriotic” organisation which has dominated New dred years.

From its found­ ing two months after George Washing­ ton stood In front of the Old Federal Building and delivered hto First In­ augural Address, Tammany has flour­ ished. Indeed. Mr. Franklin takes occasion to show that within the first seven years of its existence there was well-defined opposition to it—so much. In fact, that in hto Farewell Address Washington deplored its establishment. Mr. Franklin attributes the founding of Tammany Hall to William Mooney, an upholsterer who fought through the Revolutionary War.

But Mr. Franklin to at some pains to demonstrate that Tammany, in its first years, had some major difficulties. It attempted, and failed, to impose its will upon President Jefferson for the help It had given in the presidential campaign. It fought, and lost, a battle of several years with DeWitt Clinton. Yet by 1838 It was publicity stated that . Tammany by extortions of various kinds, had enriched Itself by 8000.000, from the public treasury. That was the period before the "Bosses," and Mr. Franklin's history to most entertaining tn Ita recital of their administrations. Tammany had done rather well by itself for fifty years when. Just before the Civil War. Fernando Wood was elected Grand Sachem and thus became the fore­ runner of William Marcy Tweed, who looted the dty of countless millions; "Honest John" Kelley, whose nickname was perhaps none too a<?curate, and the more recent "Dick" Croker and Charles Francis Murphy. Fernando Wood took up polities as a vocation when he was thirty-seven and had made a fortune In liquor traffic and Ito subsidiary enterprises. He was elected mayor, and Mr. Frank­ lin Implies, that his first term was served with a pious face to prepare for what was to happen during the second term. When be had been reelected. Wood established a system of collect­ ing "contributions" from city employes. •> of levying upon saloons and vicious re­ - sorts, of selling dty contracts to the high bidder.

They also strengthen the castings—prolong the life of the heating unit —save fuel. The biggest feature developed during recent years in a heating system. 1OO% Increased Heating Surface Air is not warmed by heat rays, but is heated by coming in contact with hot sur­ faces. In the New Alien's with the Heat Radiating Fins the hot surface over which the air passes is doubled. Thus the heating capacity is greatly increased—circulation of warm air is more rapid—less fuel is required. To understand the tremendous importance in home heating of this exclusive Allen fea­ ture, you should come in to see and examine it.

In fact, it is not unus­ ual to read statements which create the impression that thrift and saving are synonymous. While it Is recognized that every importunity and exhortation made in I behalf of saving money will - perhaps, result in the accomplishment of some j beneficial results, the fact cannot be | gainsaid that false conceptions of thrift i often result in real harm.

I . _ • The “Equal Tension Cord Construction’ an exclusive Federal feature -makes it possible to build more miles into Federal Tires at no extra cost to you. This construction means freedom from weak spots that the road can pound through. It enables Federals to withstand the terrific heat and friction of today’s high-speed driving. It means that Federals wear down slowly and evenly. It enables Federals to give extra service-more Tire Miles. We service every tire we sell. And by service we don’t just mean mount. We clean the rims, get the rust off. We check the rims to see if they are sprung out of true. We check wheel a ligament. Then we monnt the tire carefully and inflate it to the proper pressure. Without charge. That’s why we know that every Federal Tire we sell is going to give the user the extra Tire Miles that have been built in to it. Let us show you these great mileage tires. Find out for yourself that it costs less to run on Federals. Get Federal Protection WEST VERMONTVILLE. Roy Weeks and family spent Sunday at Joe Faust's in Vermontville.

He got up. took his flashlight and went to the bam to see what this might mean. He turned his flashlight on the car. found one fellow .sitting in IL Just then another chJb blazed away with a gun. Ernie thought ’ the shot was intended for him. but it was intended for a duck, which was killed. The two occupants of the strange car beat a hasty retreat. Shortly afterward they reached the premises of Floyd Morford, n neighbor. Mr. Morford had heard the shot at the Doud farm, so he went out with his gun to sec what was going on. The two drove a car into his yard. One of them got out. grabbed a duck and started with it toward his car. To frighten him Morford fired twice. It did not take the car long to vanish from that neighborhood. Before this had happened. Doud had called Sheriff Leonard who soon arrived. He follow­ ed the auto tracks for hours over that country, and finally lost the trail near Gull lake. Our sheriff went to Kala­ mazoo on Monday. He had had ids suspicions as'to one of the parties who made this raid and accordingly had Russell Monroe. 21. son of the former proprietor of th$ farm, apprehended. Russell is a bellhop at the Park-Amer­ ican hotel in Kalamazoo. From Mon­ roe he learned that his companion was Tom Jackson; also of Kalamazoo. Monroe compeltely absolved JackAon from any blame in the matter. The latter, who was seen later, told a straight story, so that nothing was done with him; but Monroe wm brought here and taken before Justice Bauer yesterday, where he pleaded "guilty to larceny and wm given 30 days in the county jail. 815.00 fine and $10.00 costs and 15 additional days if he does not pay. The amount Involved wm not enough to take the case Into circuit court. It is said that Monroe had been drinking. He claims he did not realize what he wm doing. Jackson went with him by Invitation, and both say he had noth­ ing to do with the stealing.

MICHIGAN STATE COLLEGE is sending its Farm Electrical Demonstration Truck into this territory with Professor H. J. Gallagher, who has been conduct­ ing many experiments and research work on farm electrification on ordinary Michigan farms. This truck carries equipment for actual, practical demon­ strations of routine farm operations with electricity. The pro- . fessor will describe each operation, its cost and its saving to the farmer. Michigan State Demonstration Truck and Professor Gallagher will be at the following location from 10:30 a. m. until 5:30 p. m.: • Friday, October 5th — Wm. Holes Farm, *4 mile South of Middleville on Yankee Springs Road Professor Gallagher has computed figures on the time required, and the cost involved on various farm operations. You will be glad to learn of the many economical possibilities available through electrical service on your place. Don’t Pass Up this Opportunity to see your own agricultural college demonstration and hear the man who has devoted all his time to research and experimental work on the possible application of electricity on the farm. ALL FARMERS AND EVERYONE T �TH* a*»TO<0» BANNK, WTOMMDA1', ggFTBMBO M, ItU The Big Issue In This Campaign Is the Qualification of the Candidate for That Big Job—Herbert Hoover Has the Needed Qualities A* the campaign progrease*—it will foundation of Tammany's majority in last tout a few weeks longer—it can be New York u everybody knows. to In hl* swing through the west, Governor Smith has declared that pro­ hibition is not an Important issue ip the campaign. This seems very sisted on nullifying the prohibition plank ot hla own party. In order to make an issue of It. He now declares that the real issue is farm relief. That a big city man and Tammany poli­ tician. who never knew anything about farming—probably never In all hla life even set foot on a farm—can make himself believe that he la qualified to solve thia problem which has vexed the statesmen of this country for the post ten years, and the statesmen of other countries for centuries, passes belief. It is positively ridiculous If. as Gov­ ernor Smith says, the farm issue is the main issue, we believe the people of this country would far rather trust the Job of devising plans for farm rebrought up on a form and most of his relatives are farmers today. He Is a man whose work u on engineer and as a business executive has shown him to be qualified, as few men’ are. to or­ ganize a system of farm relief. We hardly think the farmers of this coun­ try will want to give that job to a graduate from Tammany Hal). In our judgment, the big Issue before the American people right now is the candidate, his personality and quali­ fications. rather than .anything else. The question of the religion of either candidate is not material. But it is material what training and what ca­ pacity each has shown for the big Job which the presidency offers Mr. Smith boasts of the fact that he is an officer of Tammany Hail. We al) know what Tammany Hall now means and has meant' In the past. The New York (taper which has most vociferous­ the ly supported Governor Smith for “ “ presidency at the present time has within Ute past year, bitterly nounced the corruption in that city _ ... that is directly traced to Tammany Holl. And how Governor Smith can say he is proud of his connection with It is more than we can understand, in view ot what Tammany is and always get tne Dig cna os me oaraain, uui Tammany is supposed to give certain advantages to Its humble members. That binds them together in what Grover Cleveland called "the cohesive power of public plunder.” Do the American people want that sort of tiling extended from New York to Washington as It has already been extended from New York to Albany? We believe not. As to qualification for the world’s greatest executive position, the presi­ dency of the United States, we believe that there can be no hesitancy In sayms that Herbert Hoover has them to a degree possessed by no other living American. He has always been an executive. You can find that quality shown in hla college days at Stanford University. He was an executive then, is he is now—only more so now be­ cause of his globe-wide experience. Probably no man in the world today has had an experience bo varied, one that has touched so many nations and helped so many people as has Herbert Hoover. He was in charge of relief work in Belgium while the world wor of relief work throughout Europe when the world war was ended. It is con­ ceded that no man ever eould have performed that work better. It never before was done in such a wonderful way as he did it. When the Mississippi floods swept the lower reaches of that river, making nearly half a million pedple homeless. Herbert Hoover was the man who was called to take charge of relief for the flood sufferers. The concensus of opinion of the people of the South, without regard to politics, is that he did the job in a masterful way. As head of the Department of Com­ merce of the federal government, it is known that he has made that depart­ ment the most far reaching and powerful of its kind in the world. That department, in the aid which it is giving the people of the United States to extend our markets for goods and for products of the farm, is the envy of the whole world. He made it what It is, for it was an Insignificant affair until Herbert Hoover took charge to Tammanyizc the United States as Tammany has Tammanylaed New York City and New York State? It is well known that Governor Smith’s majori­ ties have come from three counties in the state of New York. He never has carried more than seven. The three counties that contain the cities of Brooklyn, New York and the Bronx have given the majorities that have put him in the governor’s chair. The We believe that Herbert Hoover is the best qualified man for the office of President of any candidate that has ever been placed In the field by either party since our government was or­ ganised. He is entitled to be classed as a master mind. When this country has the opportunity of getting the services of such a man to head this government, we believe that they will gladly avail themselves of the chance. PRACTICAL CRIME PREVENTION, Major crimes of violence have decreased materially in New York City since 1025. according to a report by the Baumes Crime Commission. Where there were 308 cases of murder and manslaughter in 1025. the number dropped to 289 in 1926. and in I 1927 went down still further, to 278. . Of the Baumes Law provisions the most Important is that which provides life imprisonment for criminals on fourth felony convlcUon. In New York It ho* proven a restraining in­ fluence. and a thoroughly justified measure. Logic would tend to allow that a law-breaker who attempt* four major ravages is a habitual criminal who must be permanently removed from society. A modern movement in crime suppressicn and prevention has been to­ ward gathering crime statistics that a fiord a ready and accurate survey of the crime situation. This work cannot be overestimated, and Senator Knight chairman of the subcommlsslon. says of it: “The commission believes that complete and accurate statistics of crimes committed is absolutely necessary to determine the cause of crime and to permit the enactment of the best legislation to prevent and punish the commission '“* ** of *crime." “* ” New York has demonstrated the suc­ cess that comes from scientifically and practically fighting the menace of the criminal. Quick justice and sure punishment are certain deterrents. Josephus Daniels, who wrote a letter to a California woman a year ago de­ nouncing Governor Smith, is now seek­ ing to explain it away. The real ex­ planation of course is that when he wrote the letter Josephus didn’t think A! would be nominated. Two claimants ore seeking the throne of Albania. Some people seem to be always naturally looking for trouble. 1 BOSTON GAZETTE HIED MAR. 12. IM cuatotnod to tho strange letter ”8'* used in those days, is vary readable.

Many Applications Coming in To State Conservation Department The game division of the Conserva­ tion DciMirtment of Michigan reports 1 that applications for permits to con1 duct fur farms, and letters pertaining । thereto, promise to be greater this fall than in the peak which was obtained last spring. Much of the correspond­ ence Indicates that there are a great many inexperienred persons who seem to be unduly optimistic oyer the future of the fur farm business. During the summer months H. D. Ruhl, at the head of the department of fur bearing animals, has visited dozens of licensed fur farms in the slate In order to become thoroughly acquaint­ ' ed with the problems which confront these licensed breeders. Under the law. a permit must be tak­ en out by anyone who has protected animals in captivity during the closed season; and anyone who engages in fur breeding operations must construct satisfactory enclosures and must take out a license before he legally may sell or otherwise commercialize protected fur bearing animals. ‘More than 300 licenses on muskrat. 200 on raccoon. 125 on mink. 50 on skunk and 30 on beaver are outstand­ ing The administration of the fur breeders license law has developed many new and difficult problems. Barry County undoubtedly has several locations which could be uti­ lized in the breeding of fur bearing animals by persons who wish to en­ gage In that business. It ought to be remembered that this is a distinct bus­ iness. not one for every amateur to rush into thinking he can do it. It re­ quires study and a good deal of thought and work to make a success of the game; but it can be made a successful business.

Fla., who has been spending the summer and early fall with her par­ ents. Mr. and Mra. Wm. A. Hall, re­ ceived a letter from her husband last week telling about the terrible hurri­ cane that destroyed so much property In Palm Beach county, nnd did so much damage to West Palm Beach as well as other Atlantic coast cities In Florida. Mr. Parker flrat assured Mra. Parker that he had come through the calamity without any harm to himself: that tt\clr home had been slightly damaged but. In comparison with most Palm Beach homes. Ute damage was trifling —a couple window sash blown out and the front battlement wall of their home toppled over onto the roof. Such damage can be repaired at slight cost. He also says that most of West Palm Beach Is a wreck—roofs blown away, many walls torn down, streets filled with wreckage: trees in the parks and along the streets tom out by the roots. The estimated damage In Palm Beach county 15 J30.000.000. Over in the Lake Okechobee district of that county, more than 300 lives were lost mostly by drowning when the fierce 125-mile-an-hour gale not only smashed the houses, but blew the water of the lake up Into the district where the homes were situated and drowned many people. Mr. Parker said that the inhabitants of West Palm Beach had warning that the hurricane would arrive there sometime in the afternoon ot Bunday. He accordingly spent the day at home, putting his house In as good condition os possible. The flrat Impact of the storm blew out two of the windows During the lull in the storm he boarded up the windows. When the second smash came from exactly the opposite direction. 1J blew down the battlement wall on the roof, but at that his home escaped with far less damage than the average. In the negro quar­ ter of the town there were several deaths, because of the flimsy huts In which the colored population lived. Only three or four white people were killed by the storm in West Ifelm Beach; but several were hurt by flying wreckage. - . Tills disaster will be a hard blow to West Palm Beach. While the damage probably will not reach the figures of the hurricane that hit Florida a year ago, when so much property in Miami was destroyed, due to the larger size of the latter city: yet In the Intensity of the wind, the recent hurricane surpassed that of a year ago. A hurricane is Just an immense whirlwind. Instead of being a few inches or a few feet in diameter like the small ones we have all seen in this country: or a few rods or al most a quarter of a mile In diameter like the twister which we term a cyclone, the West Indies hurricane is ordinarily from 50 to 150 miles in diameter. The greatest damage is done when the MUST OBSERVE PRES-i ENT REGUIAT ONS vhfrl hits from one direction and then I zs the hurricane in leaving strikes from exactly the opposite direction..

This is a particularly urgent problem with those farmers represent­ ing perhaps 30 percent of our county who ore on very light soils which are not strong enough for spring plowing and sowing of spring grains which is attempted but very great losses ore sustained through the blowing and drifting of light soils though the sum­ mer. Of course we realize that the fall grains could be sown in the stubble of two Inches or less In height but thl* I* indeed difficult—the significance of such close cutting as perhaps the great­ est drawback yet it 1s a real difficulty. To me it seems rather inconsistent and almost futile to exercise os little con­ trol as possible to determine business with our curtailed appropriations and then to ask for their spread of large amount* of money to regain the con­ trol which for a whole season has been almost entirely released. If there is r>t definite procedure of control being enforced I wonder if we are justified in longer presuming upon public patience and keeping them continuously tn doubt as to what may or may not be done? I wrote you some three or four weeks ago regarding this same situation and was informed that planting would be ail right In stubble less than two Inches in height. If it is possible for you to give me more definite word os to pro­ cedure which our fanners, and particu­ larly those confronted with this light soil problem, may pursue we hope that you will write us at once whereupon we will immediately get word to our folks through the press. Very sincerely yours. Barry County Agent. Paul J. Rood. September 21. 1928. Mr. Paul J. Rood. County Agricultural Agent. Hastings. Michigan. My dear Mr. Rood: _ Your letter of September 19th 13 be­ ing answered by myself due to the fact that Mr. Powell is In attendance on the Upper Peninsula Fair at Escanaba. You arc aware that it Is going to be impossible to control the European corn borer if we change the rules and regulations to suit the physical condi­ tions of every corn field in the differ­ ent counties. The only way to get re­ sults is to have a plan which seems to be the best one and to work to that plan. Our rules and regulations are in ef­ fect up until the first of January, 1929. and in all probability new rules and regulations will be promulgated after the fall seeding la over. There is noth­ ing in the ruler and regulations which prevents the farmers from discing in his corn stubble providing he cleans up the debris.

Why not put this question squarely up to YOURSELF, NOW, during the EARNING DAYS of your life and try and answer it? To become DEPENDENT when unable to work any more is a tragedy —and Life is filled with just such tragedies. The reason is usually because of failure to Form the Habit of Saving While Earning There are more people saving today in America than ever before in its history. —It has become popular to save. ■—Money saving habits are taught in our schools. —Parents start small savings accounts in this Bank for their children —Men, women, boys and girls—everywhere are starting savings ac­ counts. —Savings deposits in banks are the largest they have ever been. If you are not yet in line with this new movement and already started a SAVINGS ACCOUNT, better drop in and talk with us about it. It takes ONLY $ 1.00 to start an account and a small sum added each PAY DAY will soon amount to quite a savings.

But persistent and prejudlcal mlsstatements of fact, on the other hand, can­ not gain validity through Ute mere openness with which they are reiterat­ ed. This applies equally on both sides of this year's hotly controverted con­ test. •••At the moment, and in re­ sponse to numerous inquiries, we pre­ sent the facts which deny the constant declaration—by high, official Demo­ cratic spokesmen—that when New York state deserted Ils constitutional responsibilities under the Eighteenth Amendment this action was sustained by a Republican Legislature as well as bj the Distinguished Democratic Gov­ ernor, who now reaches for the White House. The facts are that when the Bill, repealing the SAte Enforcement Law. passed the New York Legislature the vote in favor of this incipient nul­ lification was as follows: Senate 26 Democrats and two Republicans. “Yea" —22 Republicans and no Democrats. "No"; Assembly. 67 Democrats and 9 Republicans. "Yes"—69 Republicans and one Democrat. "No," In total, therefore, 93 Democratic Legislators voted to take New York out of the Union on this issue, and only one Democrat voted to support the federal Constitution concurrently, and only 11 joined the Tammany delegations on the other side. Tills is the record. We can sympathize with the feelings of Democratic campaign strategists who would like to try expediently to val­ idate the altitudes of the distinguished Governor of New York by pretending that a Republican Legislature was In step with him; but we can And no real­ ities tn their exigent prospects. • • • Next.—Grand Rapids Herald.

Just as ' it does its water system, and charging accordingly Grand Rapids has in­ ' vested 10.300.000 00 in a sewer system ■ The interest on the bonds and the ex- I penses of operating its system will < figure up to $884,000 The city cannot I afford to take that much , out of Its regular budget: accordingly It has pro-' posed to meet the cost of operating the | sewers of that city by asking the peopie who connect up with the system to I pay for the use of the sewers Plans have been made in Grand' Rapids to meter the amount of sewage which will go from each home or bustncss place into the city sewers, and charge will be made accordingly, the rates being fixed so as to take care of I the expense This seems a novel way Grand Rapids authorities feel that Is the only just way to meet the situation The sewer system of this city will not be completed until next year The city will owe no bonds, so it will have no , Interest to pay: but it will undoubtedly । be necessary to increase the payroll of the dty to provide for the care of this matter, for sewage systems are not automatic or self operating. Some one I will have to look after It The rates in Hastings, if it I* thought I best to charge for the disposal of sewage, would be less than In Grand Rapids, because of the fact that no intcrest would need to be considered— nothing but the absolute cost of oper- । ation and possibly laying aside some­ thing for replacements and extensions of the system. There Is a sense, of course. In which , । the sewage system can justly be re­ garded as a public utility: but whether, it will be found necessary to so con-1 aider it in Hastings probably will de­ i pend upon the experience we may ' have tn learning whether the cost of' operation will require that rates be.

It is a public service that for­ ever frees men from the tyranny of excessive burden: that spells the dlflelsure: leas poverty and more wealth. It is th* measure of human prosperity and happiness. Every time electrical service is ex­ tended. every time there is a new la­ bor-saving device Introduced in the home or In the factory, labor is made more usful and productive, the indiv­ idual is released for those pursuits which make for belter government, and civUiiallon Is broadened and MIDDLEVILLE. the season’s activities in the MiddlevlUe Brotherhood, when supper will be served, after which Attorney General Brucker will deliver the address. We feel very fortunate indeed to start off the year with so noted a speaker. Tita’, he will have a message for us goes without saying. Get your membership early of any OTthe officers, for our room is limited and when filled no more can join. Remember the dale of the first number is Oct. 8th. The Pythlans have started off the year by having applications for mem­ bership the very first night and more In sight They also have arrangements for some big doings on Oct. 18th and 19th. that will interest everyone. An­ nouncements will soon appear and you had better plan for one of those nights with the Pythlans In Middleville. Some nice stock was shipped from here last week and while the prices were not so high as the former week, some good returns were received. The contractor, who is to place the water mains under the river bed just below the bridge, is on the job with a crew of men and it will not be long be­ fore the mains now on the bridge will access to the bridge when they get ready. They would not give permis­ sion to place them on the top of the bridge, so the council was forced to place them where It was flrat planned they should be; but not on account of the expense. C. A. and Mra. Gardner are spending their vacation at Rochester, with Mrs. Gardner's parents. W. H. and Mrs Gray came down from Merritt on Saturday to spend a few days at home. They are always welcomed and we hope to see them here soon for the winter. They re­ port a good season up at the ranch. Have you been into the Gardner stores recently? Welt you would hard­ ly know them, since they were redec­ orated. The Bennetts have been making some fine improvements in their office and spare ports room. A nice lot of new cabinets to display parts and place them where they can find them when needed have been placed therein and all makes the place very nifty and is a real addition to their fine business place. A very near fire was caused recently by two boys having matches to play with on our Main street. They touched off some waste paper under the porch of the New Western Hotel. Fortunate­ ly same was seen Just as the first puff of stnoke showed up and was soon put out. It might have made a very disastrous fire. A good tiling to know what your boy or mine is play­ ing with and where. Bean harvest has been and is the prevailing work on some farms. Some yields are not so large, but the good prices makes the returns very satis­ factory. We can tell you one bean story that we believe will be hard to true story. On a field of five acres 157 bushels of A No. 1 beans were raised. These were sold at *7.10 per hundred pounds, or a total of *668.82 or at the rate of *133.76 per acre and still you will hear the soap box farmer tell that farming does not pay. No It does not if not properly fanned we will admit. This farmer is an alfalfa raiser and has his ground in prime condition and that is not all. It is properly fertilized and worked in a farmei-like manner from start to finish. He had to depend on the weather the same as the rest ot us. but he did his share and look at the results. And prices are on the upward move still. Fred Granger has closed his west side garage and is working in Grand Rapids, where the family will soon take up their residence. The Council will meet the first Mon­ day of the month from now on so os not to conflict with the Brotherhood meetings on the first Monday of the months. . This has been a very good year for the pickle growers as we hear it. The most have been taken In this year since a pickle plant was established ed to take care of the crop and they are nearly full. The frequent rains have made them produce well and good prices have prevailed. We hope to give you some figures oil some field's production soon. Bert Benton Is back from Grand Rapids feeling much better since his recent operation. We are glad to see Bert on the gain. He. and wife Intend to return west about the middle of next month. The Salvation Boys and Lasses, to the number of 14. came down from Grand Rapids Saturday evening and gave a concert on our streets. They were a nice bunch of people and their songs and music were much enjoyed. This Saturday night we will have a band concert of three bands. Come having you as our guesU.

MICHIGAN �EH THROUGH LIBERAL USE OF ROTTING LEAVES NEXT TO THE VINES CONSERVING MOISTURE AND KILLING WEEDS The Newly Invented Paper Mulch Does Practically the Same Thing A great deal has been written lately about the new "paper mulch" for hastening the growth of vegetables, fruits, and any grains that may be planted in rows wide enough apart to permit the paper mulch to be laid bebetween them. • While We have never seen any of the paper mulch, we assume that la a heavy, porous paper, put up In rolls like tar paper. This is placed between row* of fruit* or vegetable*, and close up to the plant*. Naturally it kills out any growth of weeds, retains the moisture in the earth, and being porous water will pass through it Those who have used it state that mulch paper greatly Increases crop yields and improves quality, but at the same time saves a great deal of labor In the way of hoe­ ing and cultivating. Time* a well known truck gardener related his experience in the use of leaf mold around plants. The article is so Interesting that we are certain that all who enjoy gardening, either for profit or pleasure will be interested In IL It reads as follows: To the Editor of The New York Times: ■KTj ' THE HASTINGS BANNER Wednesday, Sept. 26, 1928 Having read with' much interest The Times article; Garden Weeds Yield to Paper as a killer." I am led to give my experience with a deep leaf mulch placed about berry vines. In the article mentioned II is shown that a heavy paper mulch not only kills weeds, but by conserving the moisture and heat in the earth, hast­ ens the growth of vegetables and fruits, thereby advancing the season; also that the crop is markedly increased. What I wish to call attention to is the very important factor that earth­ worms play in securing the results re­ ported by C. P. Eckart In raising sugar m have these lowly organised crea- While I have not used the heavy paper mulch recommended by C. P.. Eckart and Dr. HUI. I have used,: since 1915. in my garden at Scarsdale. N. Y.. a deep mulch of leave* kbout my berry vines, with somewhat startling results, especially as regards black- , berries. In the. Fall of 1915 a mulch of leaves six to ten Inches deep well pressed . down was placed about the plants. In 1915 a double crop of blackberries was produced Thinking perhaps this re­ sult might have been due to a freaky season Utile attention was paid to It. However, in every consecutive tcason up to and Including 1939 a double crop of blackberries has been produced— the varieties being Blowers. Ancient Briton. Mercereau and Snyder; that Is the ordinary varietiea which bear but one crop of berries a season under or­ dinary circumstances While the second crop is not quite io abundant as the first, the berries are larger, sweeter and of a better quality. The second crop ripens the last week in August g£d the first week in Septem- Flint in raising vegetables, where they used a heavy paper mulcH. The increased heat and especially the moisture In the soil from the use of the mulch bring millions of earth­ worms near the surface and these not only cultivate but fertilise the soil. Thus a double function Is performed by these lowly workers. The amount of "vegetable mold." as Darwin put IL is something enor­ mous. iSils great scientist states that in many pans ot England a weight of more than ten tons of dry earth anUnlike the paper mulch, the leaf ually passes through their bodies and Is brought to the surface of each acre of mulch finally rote or Is eaten by the land, so that the whole superficial bed earth-worms and must be renewed The rotting of the of vegetable mold passes through their each Autumn. leaves furnishes fertilizer for the "Worms prepare the ground In ex­ plante.

Bilk, is the an- IProduct of In the two years between 1933 and 1925 the production of full-ta-shloncd cotton stockings dropped from 1,799900 dozen pairs to 727900 dozen pairs, dnd when the Government publishes Its statistics for 1927. the poor old cotton stocking Industry will probably took even worae. What with *Uk stockings, silk cloves, silk hat*, even shoes, and silk several other things, the American woman wears more silk than the women of any other place in the world. Our'z mav duetion Is concerned, u mechanical age. so far aa labor is concerned, and a steel age, so far aa the history of man is concerned, but it is surely a silk age. Al) this is simply another manifes­ tation of the American standard of liv­ ing compared with that of the rest ot the world, and the cornerstone of this American standard of living is the American policy of a protective tariff Eliminate the tariff, which keeps out an unrestricted flow of merchandbc from foreign countries with lower standards of living and wages from one-ball to one-tenth of those in the United States, and inevitably the result would be a leveling process, which might help raise the standards in foreign countries to a very slight de­ gree. but which will pull our own standards down about our ears. This difference in living standard* to the extent that it is dependent up­ on the tariff policy of this country hat not come to pass like a change In the seasons, nor has it descended upon Us like the gentle dew from Heaven. The tariff Is a man-made law. designed, to protect the living standards of our country, assure our wage timers de­ cent compensation, and to raise a part of the revenue for the conduct of our Government. Fundamentally. tiie tar­ iff is an economic question, but In our country it has become the one out­ standing point of political difference political between our two major parties. And It 1* so again this year. Both parties have pledged them­ selves to a revision of the present Fordncy-McCumber Tariff Law as soon as possible after the elections this fall. The Republican Party, through Its standard bearer Herbert Hoover, has announced its intention of revising the tariff with a view to safeguarding those industries, including agriculture, which from the experience of the last six years have not had adequate protec­ tion. The platform of the Demrocratic Party, adopted at Houston, dealth with the tariff in a rather vague fashion, and it remained for Candidate Smith to Interpret what the Democratic tar­ iff plank meant. He did so by holding up the low-tariff Underwood Act of 1913 as the model to be followed by his party if given a chance to revise the tariff. . The women of America will do well to mark, and mark well, this differ ence. They probably have. . stocking* and prosperity, or cotton stocking and depression! Which will ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW POSTAL RATES. Statistics are not essential to prove that the lower ixwtal rates which went Into effect in the United States on July 1st have already stimulated business to a considerable extent. These reduced rates are not only beneficial to the public, but are in certain degrees advantageous to the printing and publishing industries, and to business firms in general. With the return of the one-cent stamp on souvenir post cards comes a great opportunity for manufacturers of such cards to revive their business. The souvenir post card industry’ had expanded to a wonderful extent up to the time when the two-cent postal rate on the cards went’lnto effect. The In­ creased rate not only caused the post card Industry heavy losses but also resulted In reduced revenue to the government from this source. Souvenir post cards have always been exceedingly popular In this coun­ try, and now with the return of onecopt postage, there is every reason to believe that they will become more popular than ever. But, there is sad need of modem color plctorlsd de­ signs in place of many of the ’’views’' of the post" which have been with us since pre-war days. The remarkable developments In various processes of color printing made during the last few years offer post card publishers every means to economically print and distribute new lines of beautiful souvenir cards which should sell by the thousands. Third class matter under the new rate may be mailed for 1 1-3 cents lor each two ounces of fraction thereof, up to and Including eight ounces, ex­ cept that the rate of books, catalogs, brochures, etc., not over eight ounces is 1 cent for each two ounces or frac­ tion thereof. The bulk mailing principle is adapt­ able to third class matter, under which a maximum of 1 1-3 ounces of printed matter may be mailed for one postage stamps. Business reply cards and envelopes may be sent through the mails un­ stamped to prospective* by advertisers, and interested prospective^ may drop their replies In the mall box without postage, the collection of postage being made when the reply cards or en­ velopes are delivered to the original sender.

DRUGS AND DRUG SUNDRIES Hastings, Mich. CAMPAIGN AGAINST TRESPASSERS IS ON. Lansing, Oct. 1—Maps upon which all state-owned land Is clearly desig­ nated. are being distributed among the officers of the state conservation de­ partment all over Michigan. The de­ partment has instituted a campaign to check up on all trespassers and see to It that the state property is properly pro­ tected In every way. Individuals who have been cutting Christmas trees, par­ ticularly those who engage in the busi­ ness on a commercial basis, will have their activities curbed thia year. Unintentional and malicious trespass has been quite prevalent in the past.

This Is A Truth Many Men and Women Fail to Realize in the Early Part of Their Lives, But the Truth of it Comes All Too Soon When Youth and Earning Capacity Are Gone. Life is a serious business at the best, but taken seriously, it is a pleasur­ able business, if due diligence is exercised. To the careless man, the man who lacks foresight, life for a time is just one round of pleasure; but how that man pays in after years! He wastes now, but wants later, Be thrifty, not stingy; save, dont pinch, and the serious business of life will assume new brightness. The dark clouds of the future will take on a silver lining.

This fact lies behind feed- : ing recommendation of the' Michigan I Stale College dairy department. Corn silage furnishes one of the; cheapest and best substitutes for pas- ’ turc and should be fed at the rate of t three pounds dalrly for each hundred­ weight of animal. This would make the daily silage ration 30 pounds or more for most dairy cows. Chopped beets or beet pulp may be used in place of silage if it is impos­ sible to secure the latter. Borne bulky, succulent feed must be given to main­ tain lhe milk yield ot high producing , cows. Good legume hay furnishes protein and minerals, which the dairy cow must have. Experiments have also shown that hay contains some undlscovered quality that is absolutely esscntlal to maintain the health of cat­ tle which do not have access to pasture. The grain ration fed to dairy cattle should vary with the rate of milk pro­ duction and with the kind of hay fed. , With alfalfa, the grain ration should contain 12 per cent of protein; with red clover. 14 per cent; with mixed hay. 16 per cent; and with timothy. 18 to 20 per cent. Home grown grains balanced with cottonseed or linseed meal make ideal I grain mixtures. Grain should be fed at the rate of one pound dally for each pound of butterfat produced in a week.} HINDS CORNERS. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Morgenthalcr from near Nashville visited her brother.

It is a j contest against the tendency to under^ estimate the importance of schooling: j a contest against the temptation of a Job with ready money; a contest against school routine and discipline; against lagging Interest where subject matter 1s not vitalized or motivated; against a single standard rale of prog­ ress; against dissipation of energies and distraction of Interest through cut- । side amusements Here Is an arduous contest, well worth the absorbing in­ terest of every member of the com­ munity. As the outcome of a football game rests heavily on coaching efficiency, it falls to teachers and school officials, as a coaching staff, to build up a winning body of pupils. It can be taken for granted that the staff's ambitions are stirred for a successful year. But what they cun achieve will be only In proixMtion to lhe team-play of the student body and the loyal support of the pub­ . Uc Fans there are who are dissatisfied with thc coaching. From the grand stand they tel! how the team should be j run. But successful teams are the ' product of careful winnowing by lhe I coaching staff, who. In turn, must be entrusted with tlie development of lhe team There arc school critics who would like to run lhe schools from lhe side lines. But the success of lhe school is dependent on the careful selection of the administrative and teaching force, who. in cooperation with the Board of Education, must be entrusted with lhe conduct of the schools. Confidence In and support of the coach is essential to victory on thc gridiron. It ft so with our schools. Thc educational coaching staff have been selected. They are mindful of1 their responsibilities. They are set for a scoring year. If it Is worth while to stress the football game for its sport's sake. It ft worth while to st res? school­ ing for the child s sake. If victory Is desirable for the team, success In schooling is doubly worth while for the student body. If winning the game is gratifying to lhe fans, school efficiency should be equally satisfying lo taxpay­ ers and public. A competent head coach, an able group of assistants, a cooperative group of pupils and a loyal public will pro­ duce a successful season—a victorious | school year. DOWLING.

Hoover Offers a Constructive Program for In­ creasing the Country’s Prosperity. Washington. D, C. Oct. I.—Exactly a month remains before election. Within that period, observers now are generally agreed. Governor Alfred E. Smith must make tremendous and Vir­ tually impossible gains in order to win. Every Indication pointe to a HooverCurtis victory, and by a decisive mar­ lin. When the Democratic candidate be­ gan bls western trip three weefcs ago. It was unanimously agreed that a golden .opportunity to bolster his cause lay before him. With the results of that fl.000 mile journey carefully tabu­ lated and estimated. Governor Smith’s venture beyond the Mississippi quite evidently has failed to accomplish Its purpose. No notable increase in Smith sentiment Is reported frdm the states which he visited, and that should leave all of them safely Republican, as they were in both 1920 and 1924. The failure of the Democratic candl- i men, of every school of thought is con­ stantly evident. One of the most re­ cent converts to the Hoover program Is B. P. Yoakum, life-long Democrat end pioneer railroad builder, who has probably opened more agricultural land to settlement through transpor­ tation faculties than any living rail- a concensus of opinion, is due to his lack of program for a sound national administration. Given the Chance to tell the serious-minded folk of that section exactly how he proposed to run the government. If elected, he con­ tented himself with abstract discus­ sion of several unrelated Issues, without getting down to practiced discussion of the problems Involved. As a result, he left his audiences without Information as to his program on the tariff, on fis­ . cal policies, on immigration and other equally important questions, and these oversights have shown his weakness. Herbert Hoover, In contrast to his opponent, has been adhering to a well considered campaign program. Prom the start of the campaign, his purpose Yoakum has been a careful student of the agricultural problem. Since Gov­ ernor Smith'began his flirtation with the McNary-Haugen bill, Mr. Yoakum has come out squarely far the Republi­ can program of farm relief as outlined by Herbert Hoover, endorsing Iris plan I for development of a nation-wide farm commodity marketing system through government aid. Tbe 'T"'“ assurance that stability of gov­ ernment will be continued under Her­ bert Hoover lias also been an Impor­ tant factor In thq decision of 80 edltaps of Democratic and Independent news­ papers to support the Republican na­ tional ticket. Their newspapers are lo­ cated in 15 states. Senstor Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan tersely summed up the ad­ vantage of the Hoover-Curtis ticket tn lhe middle west recently by pointing out that employment in most Industrial centers is os general or better than It has ever been, that the refusal of the Democratic candidate even to discuss Che tariff leaves the middle west un­ certain about his Intentions, but In­ clined to distrust them from previous experience, and. that the failure of Governor Smith to understand the Im­ portance of such great projects as the St. Lawrence waterway takes much In­ terest away from his candidacy in the Inland Industrial and agricultural voters thal he has a thorough under­ standing of every major Issue Involved in this campaign. With the splendid record of the Coolidge administration aa an example, Mr. Hoover has devoted his speeches to analysis of lhe big problems still to be solved, and has succeeded In convincing the country that he la the man to continue the present even and prosperous trend of conditions. That his course is drawing to him For the remainder of the campaign Mr. Hoover’s plans call for about one speech a week. In which he will contin­ ue his plan of discussing the Issues. The extensive preparation which he devotes to each one of his, speeches has made them clear-cut. concise dis­ sertations on the more Important questions which the majority of the voters are Interested In. rather than spasmodic efforts at working up inter­ est through attacks on his opponent. able to recover.

THE POLITICAL PARADE By Harry B. Blackman Washington. D. O. Oct 8.-B1X weeks WASTE NOW And You Wfll WANT LATER! ago Herbert Hoover returned from Cal­ ifornia to be confronted with the as­ sertion that lhe Republican party waa on the defensive In the east, and that herculean effort must be made to save the states along the Atlantic seaboard from going over to the enemy. The campaign program of the Re­ publican party in the east since that time has been to get Mr. Hoover's stand on the Important Issues of the day before the voters, and the effort to win has been no more intensive than in states further west. Today the Democratic party U fighting the defensive battle In lhe east according to the press, although its leaders launched their drive in this section far in advance of the Republi­ can counter effort. The hope of Dem­ ocratic leaders in the east Is now confined to two or three states, in every one of which Republican strength Is reported to be increasing every day. That much progress In six weeks Is a fair Indication of the strength of the Republican ticket and of the failure of the Democratic candidate to sell to the nation an uncertain program for the future. This Is A Truth Many Mtn and Women Fail to Realize in the Early Part of Their Lives, But the Truth of it Comes All Too Soon When Youth and Earning Capacity Are Gone. Eighty £lx newspapers which are listed as Democratic or independent in. their political preferences have come out editortally for Hoover and Curtis, according to a recent tabulation. They are located In 15 states, from Minne­ sota to Texas and from New York to San Francisco. In every instance, their preference for the Republican candidates Is based upon a sincere conviction tliat Herbert Hoover, with his remarkable record of administrative experience gained in tasks of unusual difficulty would be a much more capable presi­ dent than the Democratic nominee from lhe standpoint of the home, in­ dustry and agriculture. Life is a serious business at the best, but taken seriously, it is a pleasur­ able business, if due diligence is exercised. To the careleu man, the man who lacks foresight, life for a time is just one round of pleasure; but how that man pays in after years! He wutes now, but wants later. Be thrifty, not stingy; save, dont pinch, and the serious business of life will assume new brightness. The dark clouds of the future will take on a silver lining. A California president*] candidate has certain advantages which even as­ tute politicians apparently had not realized before Mr. Hoover waa select­ ed.

The Only National Bank in Barry County The guttering but -vague proposal which Governor Smith dangled before the farmers of the northwest at St. before the campaign Is over. Senator Borah and other able Republican ora­ tors have pointed out to agriculture in that section that the essential feature of the McNary-Haugen plan, the equalization fee. demands a high pro­ tective tariff on all farm products if it 1s to be effective at all. Governor Smith gave his audience no assurance that he favors tariff duties any higher than those of the Underwood act, which Jpft every- commodity produced in the northwest open to destructive foreign competition. Reports from that section indicate that fanners are rapidly realizing the extent to which they have been im­ posed on by the candidate who worked out his theories of agricultural aid in New York City. Probably some ot them recall that ancient admonition "Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts." IN LIFE’S SHIP. With you in life’s ship that is sailing on high.

More Tire Miles are built into Federals—by the “Equal Tension Cord Construction.” We Give A New Kind Of Service We mount tires and inflate them free of charge of course. But that is only part qf the service we give. We know that no tire wul give satisfactory service if it is not going to roll true after it is mounted. For this reason, before mounting any tire we elean the rims and check them to see that they are not sprung. Then we check wheel alignment. We put the tire on carefully, lay the flap in smoothly and pull up on the lugs evenly. Then, we know that every Federal Tire we sell is going to give the user the extra Tire Miles that have been built into it. As a further asauranee of extra tire mileage we ask our customers to stop in at regular intervals to have their tires checked for inflation <nd their wheels checked for alignment. Let us show you the economy of such watchfulness. Find out for yctarself that thio serv­ ice makes your tire money go further.

The indications ' would seem to point, al this stage of the game, to lhe certalnlty of Smith's. defeat by an overwhelming majority, i The indications are that lie will re- i reive fewer electoral votes than any democratic candidate since the Civil' war. Of courae a good many things ' may happen between now and election day; but Mr. Hoover is certainly con­ • ducting a straighforward. effective campaign, entirely free from personali­ ties. and is putting forth a constructive program that makes him grow in favor with lhe people. On the other hand Mr. Smith seems to be making the mistake of talking too much, and of berating his opponent and the oppos­ ing party in a manner that is not win­ ning him friends. Hoover 1,174; Smith 3499 In other words, ot the 14 southern states polled so far. Smith has a majority in Ute poll in only four ot the'm. In. the eastern states.

Every- American citizen has been raised wlU> a belief in democracy, and a knowledge of what it meant to those men who founded our government and those who came after them and main­ tained it. No less, every American citizen has been raised With a very realMiorror of autocracy and its freedom-stining evils. Yet many good citizens ore led by persuasive talk into lending their sup­ port to bureaucratic measures that in practice, no matter what they are in theory, mean autocracy. Bureaucracy gives to a small group of public employes an arbitrary and undemocratic power over lhe lives of fellow citizens. Too often a public servant proves himself to be in reality a petty Alexander, with vague dreams of empire. It is said that one person in every six in Our Country is a public employe living at the expense of the oilier live. This means that we are approaching an extreme of bureaucratic govern­ ment. In an autocracy a portion of the population, by virtue of being de­ scendants of powerful families, or friends of the king, -are empowered to control the lives and liberty of others. In a bureaucracy, those In control live by virtue of having some public Job that limits freedom of action or liberty of others There is no fun­ damental difference. When we favor a public ownership project, for example, we are endorsing paternalism that revokes liberties of the citizen and prevents him using ills own initiative and enterprise. We thus place private business in the hands of a bureau composed ot men with some­ thing of the power of emperors. Do we want an autocracy? The aver­ age citizen would answer an unqual­ ified "No!" But he must do more than that-She must realize that the danger is ever present, often under an attrac­ tive guise. The United States was settled as a nation where free men could lead free lives, untrammeled by vicious "Divine Right of Kings" nonsense, and the iron fist of the autocrat. As we adopt paternalistic measures or allow alien influences to creep in. we destroy thc foundation of our freedom. Michigan comes down. The schools all over the country are open again, and so another whispering campaign has been started. * THE FORESTS from FIRE!

Coffers Wednesday Robert Smith and Clifford Williams, two young men and members of the senior class of the Nashville High school, drove up to this city last (Tues­ day) evening to call on some young lady friends. They started home on M-79 at eleven o'clock. As the hour was late and they were anxious to get home and as at that time in the night there is usually little traffic, they were going at a good clip toward Nashville on the pavement in this city. It was misty and not easy to discern anything on the roadway. Of course they were not anticipating there would be any­ thing like what they encountered. Beyond the Bliss plant and squarely across the pavement stood a freight a lantern, so they claim, to warn them of Its presence and. in the dim light, they could not see It until they were practically upon it and their automo­ bile smashed Into the freight car with great force. Robert Smith suffered a fractured collar bone and Clifford Wil­ liams badly cut by thc splintered glass. But wonderful to relate they both escaped without other serious in­ jury. They were taken to the hospital for surgical attention and left for home at one o’clock this, Wednesday, morn­ ing. We understand that the freight en­ gine was doing some switching at the Bliss plant Both Smith and Williams claim that there was nothing to warn them that a freight car was across the track and that because of the mist they could not see it until they were prac­ tically upon it.

The railroad, the automobile, the aeroplane, the modem long distance telephone, tho telegraph and the radio have made our present civilization possible. Where our financiers used to talk in millions they now talk in hundreds of millions and even billions. . । ■ This is not only the era of big busi­ ness but of standardized business. Our present prosperity in part is due to the standardized methods now employed, together with the mass production which tills makes possible. The ten­ dency is toward combination, toward bigger and bigger things In the busi­ ness world. And. as pointed out above, our modern methods ot rapid com­ munication have made this possible. All of this, of courae. is well and good. The work of the* individual has given way to the standardized product, and this product has made possible the enjoyment by the working classes of luxuries undreamed of a few genera­ tions ago. When books were made slowly and painstakingly by hand by scholars, they were perhaps more beau­ tiful titan today, but only the very wealthy could afford them.

The merchants will bring to you, through their windows, the things you are anxious to see in making your selections for Fall. The lecture by Samuel Grathwel) at the High school auditorium Wednesday evening was most informing. His theme was "China—A Vision or A Night­ mare." He discussed the reasons why we can get wrong ideas about that an­ cient country. Il Is far away. Tele­ graph news costs 85c a word to send a cablegram and even that Is often dis- I tortlng. For Instance, he said that j there seemed to be an Impression that the binding of feet by the women of1 Chinn had been completely abandoned. | He said that was generally true In the coast cities, but back In thc interior of ■ China feet binding was as prevalent as | The newest of the new.

He' said the story seemed to be in this j country timl in the foreign part of this ' city there was a pork which had a sign "Chinese and dogs not allowed on these | grounds." But he said that there was < no such sign there. There was a rcason why the Chinese should not be al- 1 lowed in this park, which did belong to the foreign element. The legitimate | reason was that the Chinese are dirty , as a people and have many communi- I । cable diseases which foreigner! did ; not want to have their children or1 | adults contract from them. Ho said । that another myth was the idea that all Chinese are honest and tiiat every | Japanese was untrustworthy. He said one would not need to live In China a , great while to know thal this was not the fact al all. , In an economic sense he declared China Is far behind other countries. On thc farms will be found no such thing ox thc modem machinery that we find on farms in this country. Even Peking has no sewer system and lhe poverty of the Chinese Ln simply appalling. There are beggars by the million. What a nation thinks really tells , the story of its civilization. There Is no sporting spirit in China. They do game not know what It is to play a “ — for the game's sake. Their sole purpose is to get something out of it for them­ selves. Ancestor worship has done much to hinder the development of China. No country can think of its glory In the post nnd turn the minds of its people continually backward to other generations and progress. ‘ The Chinese have Ideals that do not help them. They have a low estimate, generally speaking, of womankind. They have generally low moral ideals , and have no idea of sacrificing them­ selves for the sake of others. No person and no nation which has on unwillingness to face facta can make much progress and the Chinese have that unwillingness to face any fact that Is disagreeable to them. They are always doing things to "save their face." The trouble with China in recent years has been that the country has been in the grip of generals greedy for power and money and because the men In her armies instead of being loyal to the country have been loyal to their leaders and their principles. Possibly lhe worst thing in recent year# in China has been thc evil in­ fluence of Russia. This is not guess work. As Is well understood, tie Rus­ sian embassy in Peking wax raided several months ego and it was found to be full of the most vicious kind of pro­ paganda tending to Incite the Chinese to war against all foreigners, except Russians, and to set them at war even with each other. Another hurtful thing In China Is opium. We are accustomed to think of China as being sinned against In this mutter, rather than doing any wrong herself. We have been taught to be­ lieve that there would never be any opium In China except for foreigners. But the fact remains that ten times as much Is made from poppies in China as te true of India. And China will need to clean her own house before she Is in a position to find fault about opium. The good traits of the Chinese are their tremendous tenacity, as shown by the fact that their civilization lias existed while seventeen other civiliza­ tions have perished, and their patience and Industry. Signs of progress in China are shown by the great number of night schools now established there, also by the fact that the women of South China are taking an Interest In public affairs and in education and the moat hopeful sign Is the fact that they have cut loose from Russia and driven all those who have been responsible for Russian pro­ paganda In that country out of China. He felt that America ought to do her utmost to assist China to get on her feet. We ought not to attempt this by force, nor to sanction the use of force in China. We ought to be among the first to give China the right to try those who offend her laws In her own courts instead of having the nationals of other countries tried before their own coun­ cils. instead of by Chinese. He spoke a splendid word for the missionaries In China and said that anyone who wished to befriend China should not curtail his or her contribution to the missionary cause for the qiluionaries in China had been self sacrificing. had established schools and colleges and had been a force making for China's good In the very beginning of mission­ ary effort.

Their observance would contribute greatly to reducing fire loss­ es to a minimum: 1. Remove all dry grass and weeds from around barns, garages, fences, etc. Never build bonfires on windy days. 2. Bum all oily rags. Do not leave them lying around, as there is danger of spontaneous combustion fire. 3. Remove and dispose of all rub­ bish and other waste material from thc premises. 4 Provide yourself with on approved type of incinerator. That is tho only safe way to burn rubbish and other waste materials. 5. Chimneys should be cleaned and examined once each year, especially In using coal or briquettes. Many Arts each year are caused by dcfccUve chimneys und by sparks flying on shingle roofs. 6. Do not use gasoline to clean gar­ ments or gloves in the house. Do that kind of work in thc open air away from the fire. 7. Keep an approved fire extinguish­ er in the house for emergency use. It is better to be safe than sorry. 8. Do not use flexible gas hose to connect gas heaters or stoves. Use solid pipe connections only. 9. Cooperate with thc Are depart­ ment by making your building safe against fire; by removing the cause of fire. 10. Keep In mind lhe location of the nearest firc-aiann box and memorize the telephone number of the Arc de­ partment. EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEEHe would be a rash man who would state that we are finally entering the industrial mlllenium. but there is a great ray of hope that America Is find­ ing herself on the road to a solution of the greatest of all her problems. That problem is lo adjust our economic sys­ tem to our social ideals. We are mak­ ing progress toward social peace and contentment with the preservation of private industry, of initiative, and full development of the Individual. Work­ ing out of this ideal cannot be attained by compulsory settlement of employee and employer conflicts by thc hand 01 the government. It cannot be attained , by placing thc government in business nnd reducing our people to bureau­ cracies. Il is idle to argue that there are no longer any conflicts of interest between employee and employer. But there are wide areas of activity in which their interests should coincide, and it Is the port of statesmanship to organize and Increase this Identity of interest In or­ der to limit thc area of conflict. Con­ flict diminshes and common purpose flourishes only in prosperity and in an encouraging atmosphere of sound governmental policies.—Herbert Hoo- SELF GOVERNMENT. There are always those who arc will­ ing to surrender local self-government, and turn over their affairs to some national authority tn exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find that some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood Instead of applying a remedy themselves, they seek to have a tribunal sent from Washington to dtacharge their duties for them, regard­ less of the fact that fn accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom. Buch actions are always taken on the assumption that they are a public benefit. Somewhere, Lincoln said something to the effect that ty­ rants always bestrode tho necks of thc John Q. Gamber. formerly State Fire Marshal tat Blinds and Part Pngidant oC Um National Btete Pfca Marshals Association, to authority for the statement that the increase of oil healing will prove a definite factor in reducing tho country's fire losses. In addition to the reduction of the haz­ ard from sparks, It eliminates the nec­ essity ot handling hot ashes, another prolific cause of dwelling fires.

This epitomizes thc statement rcecnt-! ly made by an eminent scientist, outlln-1 ing thc situation which confronts not only tho people of this country but those of Canada, Europe, South America nnd nil other sections of tho world a* well. This fight, incessantly being waged against various destructive forma of in­ sects and plant peats, is costing tho Uni­ ted States la round numbers 12,000,000,­ 000 a year, and, in view of rccqnt legis­ lation in congress, it is quite likely that this sum soon will be materially in­ creased. At present, one of our greatest co-' omlcs is tho European corn borer, which, within the next few years, is likely to eost us ns much as a war with a foreign nation. What all this really means is a fight for cxlstcoee between nun on one side and an imposing enemy on tho other which comprises among its hordes such dsetroyers of food ns tho Japanese beetle, boll weevil, leaf hopper, rod spider nnd n host of others. Comparatively few of our citizens, especially those living in cities, realize what is going on in these realms of ac­ tivity. We count our many comforts and con­ veniences as among tho blessings of modern civilization. Too little do wc realize what science and stable forms of government are doing to protect us from actual starvation.—By S. W.

F Handsome New Autumn Coats. Assume First Rank Importance KEEP INFORMED. A well-known political economist declared recently that If our American popular government really to to be made effective, each stockholder in the public business—which is of course each and every citizen Interested In the welfare of his country—must be intelligently Informed. The details apd ramifications of modem govern­ ment are too varied to permit each citizen to know how each tax dollar Is spent or to Judge the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the methods by which each public function is carried on. without the aid of some organized Interpreting agency. Public uqdefstiindlng and support of tax measures are necessary as a check on public affairs. Public admlnlntrntore very often fall to ferret out and apply changes in procedure which would contribute to economy and effic­ iency. Changes In methods are usually impossible without organized activity and demand from citizens. Personal interest in, and knowledge of tax problems, arc sentries at the tax exit gate. It to Lhe means by which the public la kept informed on the progress of public business. Individ­ ual Interest in the problems of govern­ ment and taxation will bear fruit a hundred fold in Improved government­ al services to the people. There- Is food for serious thought in this contention. It Is true that the av­ erage citizen does not have time to go into the records of the county, state and municipal government to see Just what is being done with the taxpayers' money. And yet all of us ought to be better informed Just as to what is go­ ing on. Of course a great many of our civic societies and commercial organizations are now of service along this line and can continue to be of service. And It is here also that the local newspaper can render a real service to the community. The local newspaper is admirably equipped to give this service to thc public and Is in most cases willing to do so. Tho 1928 campaign is coming on and it is to be hoped that it will be a campaign of education rather than vililficaUop. One of the best kinds of education the public can get is educa­ tion on the management of local affaire. After all most of the taxes wo pay are spent at home for local Im­ provement and local necessities and the people who pay ought to havo something to say about what is being done with the money. And they can have something to say. If they will only keep In close'touch with the sub­ ject. BUSINESS VS. SOCIALISM.

It will thus be seen that of the eleven states which constitute the solid south .Hoover has a majority in Virginia, North Carolina. Florida and Texas. While of thc border states Hoover has a majority In Kentucky. Tennessee. West Virginia, Maryland and Oklahoma, all of the border states except Missouri. As the Chicago Herald and Examiner of October 10 points out, this is an unparalleled condition, when four states that have never been thought of as being carried by a republican candi­ date for President are actually shown by the poll to favor Hoover. It Is no wonder that Governor Smith went scurrying to the southward la-st week, in hope of saving something from the wreck. On the other hand tho Hearat poll shows that _ there will be no walk away Mr.- Hoover in In some of the normnorthfor Mr 5.' 000 votes, according to the Hearst pall. Hoover has a majority of only 102 In Wisconsin, which would Indicate that Wisconsin Is a very doubtful state, with no one able to tell how it will go.

Smith has a majority of 989,, which would indicate that New Voflt is so close that either party may now claim It.

Hoover has a lead of £50. which shows that that state is In the doubtful class. Tills shows that there is good reason for Mr. Hoover starting for Boston last week to deliver an address which was expected to boost his campaign in thc New England states, as well as New Arizona with three electoral vote* seems sure for Hoover. But the Hearst poll shows California with 13, Delaware with three votes, us strongly for Hoo­ ver. as is Idaho with four votes, Illinois with 29, Indiana with 15.

West Virginia with 8 and Wyoming with 3. which according to thc Hearst poll seem certain for Hoover with small majorities in his favor in several other states. This will show a total of 308 of the 531 electoral votes, os certain for Hoover, according to the Hearst poll with prospects of carrying 90 more in states where the margin is close, but where Hoover apparently has the edge on his opponent. The Hearst papers are located In the big cities of New York. Boston. Baltl- Swat That Fly and How !

While the smaller towns and the coun­ try. will give a big proportion of their votes to Hoover. If Smith loses out in thc Hearst poll. mainly In the big cities, he surely has no chance whatever of winning the presidency. WINTER FEEDING 8TA' TION8 FOR GAME BIRDS. Lansing. Oct. 15—This winter, the de­ partment of conservation will, for the first time, begin official experiments with winter feeding stations for game birds. The effort is lo be rather small in scale, of an experimental na­ ture, and will be concentrated in Manis­ tee County under lhe leadership of the local Izaak Walton League chap­ ters. Iasi spring the Manistee Waltonians made an unusual effort to interest farmers and others in hatching ring­ neck pheasant eggs from the state game farm. Early In tiie fall they re­ quested the conservation comrnLislon to close the season on pheasants in their county and forwarded lengthy petitions carrying hundreds ot signa­ tures. Feeling that the people of Man­ istee county had given evidence of gen­ eral and sustained Interest, thc com­ mission closed the county to pheasant hunting for 1928. Now the feeding station work Is be­ ing organized to follow up lhe earlier efforts. Quite certainly In tiie case of quail, and very probably in the case of thc ringneck pheasant, Hungarian par­ tridge and prairie chicken, the bird's ability to Increase depends even more upon winter feeding than upon open hunting seasons. All these birds are essentially ground-feeders, depending upon weed seeds, scattered grain and odds and ends of green sluff which may have escaped the froat. - Three principal factors, no doubt, limit thc number of ground-feeding game birds: guns, natural enemies and starvation. No one knows Just how to rate the importance of these three factors, but the tendency has been to alibi the guns, denounce vermin—and postpone feeding operations. Particularly in tiie case of quail, both sportsmen and professional biologists hove for many years been in almost complete agreement that the winter "pinch periods" are In very large measure responsible for the sudden and periodic shrinkages which have been noticed for many years in the re­ gion north of the Ohio river. Although our Michigan quail have for years been protected from thc hunt­ ers' guns they do not seem to have multiplied os originally expected. This Is probably due in large measure snow and ice prevail over extended periods, so that the bird's food supply has been cut off. and so as to result In wholesale starvation. The ringneck pheasant is much stronger than the quail nnd an exceed­ ingly good "rustler." und so is not apt to suffer as much as does the quail.— but may nevertheless suffer severely. The Hungarian partridge will, no doubt, fall In between the pheasant and the quail. The prairie chicken Is probably the best winter rustler of our ground-feeding game birds, but. no doubt, starves now aad then—perhaps, more often than has been realized. No one knows when lhe bad "pinch periods" are coming and thc birds may be starving before anybody begins to worry. In thc pheasant and quail counties, deep snow and sleet often prevail for a day or so only, to be fol­ lowed by a sudden thaw and bare ground. Occasionally, however,—per­ haps four years in ten—the snow and Ice do not go off soon enough and the birds are hard hit. If relief measures are not started until the birds are in serious difficulties, no one knows where to concentrate the effort and only a small percentage of the covies are lo­ cated and provided with emergency rations. From field observations and reports coming into the office, conservation officers are of the opinion that the quail population of Michigan is now at an unusually high level. The fact that last winter was mild in lhe south­ ern counties has. no doubt, had much to do with the Increase. But now that we hove them, can we keep them? It has long been known that our ground-feeding game birds can be fed to good advantage, and In various other states feeding operations have been organized, and successful. Tills winter's experiments, if success­ ful. will bring out the essential facta as applied to Michigan, and will test out many different styles of feeding station equipment and operation. The game division of lhe conservation department at Lansing, has Just pre­ pared a summary of the best experi­ ences and advice* available and a copy one Interested. The department hopes that group* of neighbors will Join to­ gether in putting up and tending feed­ ing Buttons and will be glad to hear from anyone who will undertake to or­ ganize such a group. OCT APPLICATION THRU CONS8RVATION OFF1CKB. Lansing. Oct. 15—Persons seeking trappers' licenses, which are being is­ sued for the first time this year, must make their applications through their local conservation officer. This an­ nouncement was made by the game law enforcement division of the state conservation department this week. As there are only 25JM0 of the licenses available, the •department did not have sufficient information on hand as to wanted sources of distribution to war­ rant sending them around the state. In some instances, seekers of the trap­ ping licenses have believed they could be obtained from sporting goods stores and other points as is the case in the matter of hunting and fishing license*. Some confusion has resulted.

Annable who will direct American Red Crow Call here Novem­ ber 11 to 20, that a membership In the Red Croas has significance in three different ways. One becomes a mem­ ber of the local chapter, the NaUanal organization. and the League of Red Cross Societies, all the single act of subscribing his dollar. The League of Red Cross Societies to which Mr. Annable referred, is a world-wide association to promote Red Cross organizations in all coun­ tries, and to encourage and develop those already existing in 62 nations. During the fiscal year ended June 30th last, the American National Red Cross rendered aid in 22 foreign disasters— from earthquakes to famine. 116,000 alone were spent in aid of flood suffer­ ers in Switzerland a year ago this fall. Victims of an earthquake in Bulgaria last April received $36,900 or more. Mr. Annable concluded Ills statement with the following quotation from a re­ cent message of Mr. Prank B. Kellogg. United State? Secretary of State: "A fact little appreciated by our people at large is the powerful In­ fluence the American National Red Cross is exerting toward thc creation of International amity and understanding among the peoples of all nations. As our only semiofficial relief agency for the expression of the sympathy of the American people und thc extension of aid lo other nations in times of great disasters. It Is an indispensable part of our national life. It is one of our most convincing answers to lhe assertion that wc are a nation of materialists "Hardly a month passes that this or­ ganization does not answer, on behalf ! of the people of the United States, the. call of humanity in distress in some | distant land. Every citizen of thc known, loved, trusted and obeyed United States should consider It a I among men and boys all over the world. privilege as well as a duty to support' the American Red Cross by becoming a member.” ORANGEVILLE.

Lansing, Mich, Oct. 15—With all crops harvested or practically ready of thia year's crop production for Michigan are nearly all larger than In 1927 according to the crop report Uiucd today by Herbert E. Powell. Com­ missioner at Agriculture and Verne H. Church, Agricultural Batistlclan for Michigan. If com yields as well as Ute October 1st condition of 77 per cent Indication, and the present estimated bean crop Is saved, the total produc­ tion of Michigan's grain crops this year will be ten per cent larger than in 1927, Potatoes are much better than last year, and the total fruit crop as estimated is over a third larger than In 1927. Contrasted with this is the poor­ est sugar beet crop on record. According to October 1st prospects the Michigan com crop will be about ten million bushels larger than last year but considerably below average. The United States com crop Is 129,000,­ 000 bushels larger than last year's average crop. Mlchlgarfs oat crop yielded 33.8 bushels per acre and to­ taled nine million bushels more than the ten-year average crop. The State's barley yield of 30 bushels has not been | exceeded in 25 years and only equaled m 1918. The potato outlook varies in different sections of Michigan considerably. Some of the central and southern counties will have yields only average or below, but in lhe northern section the yield will be above average. The October forecast for thc Michigan crop Is 35.740.000 which is large, but this size crop has been exceeded eight times in thc last 25 years. However the United States potato crop of 463.­ 720.000 bushels forecast 13 the largest onjecord. Most of the late potato states have a higher condition than Michigan and large crops so that care­ ful grading and systematic marketing is Imperative this year. The Michigan bean crop ranges from poor to excellent with good yields and । fine quality in the south central counIles But roughly one-half of the States acreage comprising the #Saginaw valley and eastern counties has I been severely damaged by rains and I acreage has been lost throughout the I season. Tiie best interpretation of thc I Michigan situation on October 1st. takj lng into consideration lhe condition. I the Increased acreage for harvest in certain counties, thc greatly reduced s acreage for harvest in others, and! jl early reports of yields indicated a to-^ & tai production of 6.100,000 bushels or i slightly more than last year. Thc j United States October 1 bean crop fore-t cast is 15.896.000 bushels or little;' changed from last month. Kennedy’s in Nashville Wednesday.

An automatic thermostat prevents water circulation until the engine reaches correct operating temperature. As a consequence tho engine warms up quickly and leas choking is needed, reducing dilution of crankcase oil. Be­ cause of the protection the cross-flow radiator pro­ vides against losses of water and alcohol, the Pon­ tiac Six and the All-American Six require less attention in winter than other cars. Also, through their thermostatic control, they reveal far better performance than other cars in their fields when the temperature is low ...

As la well known, the cases of divorced wives with children would in most cases have to be looked after by the county through mothers' pensions, or through support given by the poor commission, if this alimony were not collected. Mr. Osborn has made a wonderful record in collecting this alimony. His work has saved the county a large amount which it would have had lo pay through mothers' pensions or through relief given by ths poor commissioners, which total would amount to more than what is paid to him in salary. A large amount of Mr Osborn’s work., however, is not Just saving money for the counly; but is in doing a really constructive humanitarian work. As friend of the court, all paroled persons are placed in his care. They have lo report to him regularly If fines or costs have been assessed against them, to be paid within a limited period, he has to see that this money Is earned and paid, and he watches closely lo see that thc persons who are supposed to get Jobs and go to work do as they have ; agreed He has placed some dependent j children In good homes within the county, and has seen to It that in i homes where children are not given lhe I proper care and training Hist they were placed where they would get that kind of training. It can be seen from what we have said that Mr. Osborn has had plenty to , do and that his work has saved to the . county many times thc coat of the sal­ ary. clerk hire and all coats of his office lo the counly. Mr Osborn has just the right qual­ ities for this difficult position. He will not stand for having anything put over on thc county At tlu? same lime he Is sympathetic in every case of real need and will do everything that is within reason to aid every such case. He encourages all to do wliat they can to help themselves; but sees to it that what is actually needed is supplied where necessary.

The title of the editorial ts "Tired of Denominations." That paper says that "back of all the movements for the union of churches, either of local congregation or whole denominations, lies the fact that the denominational constituent!** are no longer primarily Interested In the dis­ tinguishing features ot the denomina­ tions. The processes of current relig­ ious thinking have reduced moot of the characteristic doctrines, which have been the ground of division between the sects, to mileposts upon a road that lies far behind. "The really significant thing is that the plain people, however little they know about philosophy or science or theological reconstruction, hays become Impatient with specialised theologies and denominational programs, which have been developed in their different religious groups and which have been the instruments of perpetuating the divisions among them." Speaking of the union of the Presby­ terian. Congregational and Methodist churches in Canada, the Christian Century says that this has not been the dropping of three denominational nomination, but hM rather taken the form of putting away all thought' of denomlnationalism of any character. An instance of what is going on in the world,, showing what the people arc thinking about denomlnationalism in these days. Is shown by th* fact that a prominent New York City church, under the leadership of Dr. Fosdlck, has voted to drop the term Baptist from its name and will be known hereafter simply as "The Riverside Church." Some years ago this church opened its doors for the reception of members who had not been baptized GAB COMPANIES ARE COOPERATING. Lansing. Oct 23—Judging from the repUes received to the inquiries aejit out. tiie gas companies of Michigan are ready to cooperate with the de­ partment of conservation In halting the pollution of the streams. The division of stream pollution control has received numerous replies from toe firms and without exception, all are heady to listen to plans that may be advanced and take steps to counteract the present conditions. There are 58 gas plants In Michigan owned by 37 companies. It may be Judged that their wastes amount to-a * 1 two plants are seldom on the same stream, they contribute a good deal to the pollution. A date for a confer­ ence with the gas companies is lo be set shortly. At this time steps leading to an organization to study the situa­ tion and to remedy it will be taken. This procedure is in line with the work of supervising many other Industries that add to the pollution of the streams. Henry Ford says that some of these days automobile tires may be made from roadside weeds, but it's our opin­ ion they would never do for tiie hay­ fever patients.

Says the Christisn Century In the "Christian Century" of Octo­ ber 18 there la an editorial which we think expresses the views of the great majority of Protestants at the present time. The title of lhe editorial is "Tired of Denominations." That paper says that “back of all the movements for the union of churches, either of local congregation or whole denominations, lies the fact that the denominational constituencies are no longer primarily interested in the dis­ tinguishing features of the denomina­ tions. The processes of current relig­ ious thinking have reduced moat of the characteristic doctrines, which have been the ground of division between the sects, to mileposts upon a road that Ilea far behind. "The really significant thing is that the plain people, however little they know about philosophy or science or theological reconstruction, hays become Impatient with specialized theologlM and denominational programs, which have been developed in their different religious groups and which have been the Instruments of perpetuating the divisions among them." Speaking of lhe union of the Presby­ terian. Congregational and Methodist churches in Canada, the Christian Century says that this has not been the dropping of three denominational names In order to form a larger de­ nomination. but has rather taken the form of putting away all thought' of denomlnationalism of any character. An Instance of what is going on In the world,, showing what the people are thinking about denomlnationalism In these days. Is shown by the fact that a prominent New York City church, under tha leadership of Dr. Fosdlck. has voted to drop the term Baptist from its name and will be known hereafter simply os ’The Riverside Church." Some years ago this church opened its doors far the reception of members who had not been baptized GAS COMPANIES ARE COOPERATING. Lansing. Oct. 33—Judging from the replies received to the Inquiries sept out. thc gas companies of Michigan are ready to cooperate with the de­ partment of conservation In halting the pollution of the streams. The division of stream pollution control has received numerous replies from the firms and without exception, all are ready to listen to plans that may be advanced and take steps to counteract the present conditions. There are 58 gas plants In Michigan owned by 37 companies. It may be Judged that their wastes amount to-o great deal and as more than one or two plants are seldom on the same stream, they contribute a good deal to the pollution. A data for a confer­ ence with the gas companies is to be set shortly. At this time steps leading to an organization to study the situa­ tion and to remedy it will be taken. This procedure is In line with the work of supervising many other Industries that add to the pollution of the streams. Henry Ford says that some of these days automobile tires may be made from roadside weeds, but it’s our opin­ ion they would never do for the hay­ fever patients.

Another Yearly Mile Stone AND Our 42nd Birthday Forty-two years ago next week this bank opened its doors and today looks backward over a period of unbroken service to its pa­ trons and the public. Many things have happened during the past 42 years—there have been good times and bad—periods of prosperity and famine —periods of peace and war—but always have our doors been open and our manage­ ment ready to render every possible service and today the bank is stronger than ever, and better able to accommodate its hundreds of patrons. Behind this Bank’s Responsibility lie Re­ sources of over One Million Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars. The 42-year record of this bank brings a feeling of pride to its patrons and friends as it surely does to its officers and directors. Public support has made its pronounced suc­ cess possible and the management feels sin­ cerely grateful for the confidence and es­ teem the public has shown during these past years in the integrity of this institution. Always, even as in the past, we appreciate your patronage. Be your account with us large or small, it will receive our most cour­ teous consideration.

Ba balance sheet of accom­ plishment is favorable in every par* Uctilar. Each of its services has shown growth In method and action. The organization has the unques­ tioned support and backing of the American people. The attitude of in­ dustry—both capital and labor—Is ex­ ceptional. Irrespective of differences on 'questions of economics, religion, poli­ tics. or race, the Red Cross has power as a binder and as a promoter of good­ will. It is universally recognised as the sympathetic heart and the willing hand of a united people. Tt is uniquely free from the limiting sense of individ­ ual proprietorship and provincialism. The American Red Cross is one big national family of sendee. lu pro­ gram. broadly defined under the head­ ings of war activities, civilian relief; health education and junior work, ail upon a great volunteer basis, is one of the utmost simplicity. In the Red Cross emblem it has a symbol univer­ sally understood. Thc Red Cross never is feared and always is welcomed. As an institution it has something sacred about it which must never be stifled. Its tnutecs, the national and Chapter officers, are custodians of an everlasting movement based upon an age-old ideal of love of mankind and lhe desire to give a helping hand to those li^ need. This great force, whose power has not yet been fully explored or tested, must be given greater usefulness. The next decade of the Red Cross, free from limiting influences, wlll be character­ ized by sound growth and expansion in human service.

Thia is what I ray to them. “If you want a tire that will give you extra service and extra mileage there is no tire in the world any better than the Federal Heavy Duty Double Bine Pennant Balloon. This is a full oversize balloon with extra plies and a deep-cut tread that gives excess mileage, better traction, easier steering and greater riding comfort. . ■ ■ ' “However, I can give you a good tire at any price you want to pay. In the complete Federal line there is a tire for every need —in every size, at every price. Any one of these tires is a good tire because it will give you plus mileage for every dollar you put in it’’ • "Get Federal Protection” Universal Garage Phone 2121 Hastings ' Michigan FEDERAL �TM HASTINGS BANNER, WTONISDAY, OCTOBER H ItM PKAIMIEVILLC AND VICINITY.

Senator Vandenberg la the Republican candidate to succeed himself. He has a powerful place in Washington which Michigan cannot afford to lose. Vice President Dawes says he knows no Senator “who has started so auspiciously or who gives such promise of statesmanship" as Vandenberg. He has important committee places which can be reached only by the “Seniority" which he now enjoys. He has demonstrated that he is a dependable friend to Agriculture and to Labor and to Industry. He is Michigan’s prime reliance in the fight for tha St. Lawrence Waterway which means so much to our state. He is a mail of unchallenged moral character and Ideals and honor and integrity. He is one of the leading Constitutional Authorities in tha United States. Michigan cannot afford to lose this advantage. Think of your own wel­ fare whan you vote for U. 8. Senator. If you do, you will unhesitatingly vote for Vandenberg. (You have to vote for the other.)

We hope this amendment may carry, because it real­ ly is not fair to the people of Michigan nor to members of our law-making body to give them the small compensa­ tion they are now allowed, which will not permit them to go to the legislature and get much more than what It costs them U> travel back and forth and their board while they are there. People have been complaining In Michigan that it was quite impossible to get the type of men they would like to have represent them in the legisla­ ture. The question of compensation is not the only one involved; but the tow pay that has been given heretofore would surely not attract anybody who had anything else to do. The new prop­ osition is to pay members ot the legis­ lature 33.00 per day for the entire term of two years for which they are chosen.

The owner of the land abutting the highway owns to the centar of tiie road, and he is entitled lo every beneficial use of the land, subject only lo the right of the public to use It for tiie purpose of travel.

In the opinion writ­ ten by Justice Moore, it to said.— ’ "If the Jury had found that Stie­ man drove on this grass, when It was not necessary, for the purpose of damaging or destroying It. and that all the defendant did was to push the horses of! from it. and. when attack­ ed by Stieman for this, did no more than was necessary in order to push him away from him. it would have been their duty lo have acquitted him It may not be desirable that gruss should grow and be harvested in the wrought portion of the highway, but when, upon a rural or country road, the travel has been iu a uniform beaten track. leaving gras* to grow nnd npbn undisturbed upon the side* of such track, no one but the abut­ ting landowner, who owns the fee. 1 has the right to harvest it: and he cannot only maintain trespass or trover against any person cutting and taking It away against hto will, but he ha* the right to protect it against wanton or malicious damage or des­ truction. whether It to attempted to be done under the guise of travel up­ on the highway or in some other things growing within lhe limit* of Um highway.

From the foregoing it to my opinion that nut* growing on the trees In the highway are the property of the own­ ers of the land adjacent to such high­ ways. and that he may maintain an ac­ tion for trespass against one who take* such nut*. He may also use sufficient force to prevent such taking. One is not guilty of larceny who severs and take* nut* from the trees and carries them away at the same time. If. how­ ever, the hUta have been severed from the trees and are lying on lhe ground, one who takes and carries Uiern away is guilty of larceny.

From personal contacts with Mr. Hoover nnd knowledge of his alms and j ambitions for the farmer. Mr. Ketcham was able to assure every fanner that he I never could have a better friend than I Hoover has been in the past and will I be in the future.

Evons Hughes, former Justice of the Supreme Court and re­ publican candidate for the presidency In 1018, who served as Secretary of State for four years with distinguished honor, really in our judgment touched the vital tiling in this presidential contest. He declared that the question In the coming election is: Whether Herbert Hoover or Alfred E. Smith is the belter equipped man to hold the presidential office? He said. "We have a choice be­ tween two men. It la not merely a question as between two parties. It to not merely a question as to what quali­ fications one or the other of these two men have, considered alone or as com­ pared with someone e)se. The primary question is—which one for thl$ office is the better of these two men? The question is between Smith and Hoover and I decidedly prefer Hoover. "The way to buttress our prosperity —to give everyone, employer and em­ ployee. producer and consumer—a feel­ ing of greater security aa he looks for­ ward to the next four years with all their uncertainties, to secure the most earnest effort and competent leader­ ship. to deal with all the economic difficulties that confront us, to to con­ tinue the policies of the republican ad­ ministration under thc presidency of Herbert Hoover. "I have no patience with bigotry.” he declared. "I confess that I am intoler­ ant of al) intolerance. I denounce ev­ ery effort to bring any question of re­ ligion into this campaign. We have enough troubles in this country with­ out introducing into our political djschMlons differences of religious faith. "I do not regard it as any disparage­ ment of the personal qualities of Gov­ ernor Smith to prefer Herbert Hoover. Both men have , much to their credit. Both represent the American tradition of rising from poor and humble cir­ cumstances to great places. Each should hare the credit of his achieve- mania. • "But to my mind, considering the office of President of the United States, there is a wide difference between them and a clear plan for preference. I say this with reference to the qualifications | of knowledge, resourcefulness, humane and liberal spirit and capacity for leaderahip-everyone of which is import­ ant." ' Mr. Hughes had in previous days spoken favorably of Governor Smith as Governor of New York. "But it is a poor argument." he continued, "which .says that we should elect a governor because of his Intimate knowledge of state affairs, but shall not choose a President because of his rare or inti­ mate knowledge of national affairs. "While Smith has been working al Albany. Hoover has been working In Washington. It is said that Smith is a quick learner. So is Hoover. In his knowledge of the problems of the nation.Hoover starts yearn ahead. If Smith were elected It would take him years to learn what Hoover knows now." • Mr. Hughes said that he thought the talk about the 18th amendment is Just a siiam battle. He said, "It would re­ quire 36 states to take the 18th amend­ ment out of the constitution, and that would be resisted to the last ditch by the commonwealths of lhe solid south, up­ on which Mr. Smith must rely for his only hope for an election. The real question Is the prosperity of this coun­ try; and that means that we should favor Hoover." TIIE MYSTERY OF MR.

It the governor opposes the con­ tinued use of the 1890 census, supported | by Herbert Hoover, he evidently favors • a change to either 1910 or 1920. The I 1910 census would increase the number . of immigrants admitted annually from 164.667 to 240,350, under the present method of computing quotas. The 1920 census would increase the total to 241.426. If either the 1910 or 1920 figures should be used, the number ad­ mitted from Great Britain, Germany. I Ireland. Norway. Sweden.

Ev­ ery farmer who contemplates bulldhig or remodeling within the next year or even several years should attend at least one ot these meetings and consult the college engineer regarding the moat economical constructional details as well as the types of building most suit­ able for various needs. O. B. Price, thc Assistant County Agent for the Michigan Central Rail­ way. has reported buck to the different stations recently visited by the Farm Convenience Train. Hastings stood fifth in the list of twenty-eight stops for high attendances having an attend­ ance of 550 Nashville followed in twelfth place with an attendance of 355. The interest displayed in the de­ tails of building and in farm conven­ iences has been a large factor in Mr. Livingston's decision to come to this county with his Farm Convenience Trailer through the week of November 12th.

In the air. person­ ality p)us often becomes personality re trim The flashing eye. the handon-heart, the organllkc tones, the thundering climax, may aU go for naught with the listener-in. sitting quietly in his library a thousand miles away from lhe emotional orator and the yr Hing crowd. Unless the ideas tliat the radio brings to him are sound and the logic convincing, broadcasting back-fires on lhe candidate. Some­ thing happens in the air to half truths, “wisecracks" and appeals to the prejudices of the crowd. Hot air is nicely cooled off somewhere in the great open spaces between the orator and lhe listener-in. Th under and lightning at the mike is ,Just static at the loud-speaker. Rarely can the stump speaker sur­ vive lhe test of the radio. The ten thousand standing before him arc in the humor for sound and fury: the ten million listening in can be caught only by convincing ideas and a constructive program. Governor' Smith's much touted "charm" and personality suffer severely at the hands of the radio. It reveals him as a rather superior Tammany politician—a master of appeal, to prejudice; of attack by insinuation; and a sufferer from delusions of per­ secution. But when it comes to offer­ ing a constructive solution of the great questions before lhe country, he has no sound, workable answer. He begs the question, or. tf he has an answer, it is the wrong one. • Particularly did the radio show up Governor Smith when he spoke in Oklahoma, though It has done him the same disservice on every occasion that he has used it. He must hare placed a very low estimate upon the reason­ ing powers of his Oklahoma City Aud­ ience or he would scarcely have ven­ tured such transparent sophistry as characterized his speech In that city. Nettled by the opposition of Senator Owen on lhe score of hb long affilia­ tion with Tammany, he undertook to convince his audience that those who pretend to be against him because he is an outstanding member of the Tam­ many tribe, really oppose him on account of his religion and use Tam­ many merely as a red herring to drag across the trail. Much as most of lhe governor's op­ ponents endeavored to keep religion out of the campaign, neither he nor Senator Robinson would 'let it drop. After declaring that "religion" is a word that ordinarily ought not lo be mentioned In a political campaign. Governor Smith opened a keg of red herring himself and went on to say a great deal about religion and bigotry and intolerance, but little or nothing about Tammany. Yet no one should know better than Governor Smith tliat the country at large is neither bigoted nor intolerant.

W. SCHENKEL M™ger the people aa a whale, should be suf­ ficient to remove any such notion aa tliat from his mind. It is true that he has been and la being attacked tn cer­ tain quarters on the score of his religion, but the governor knows that Intolerant and bigoted members are not peculiar to any church, religion or sect, though the Quakers, through­ out their history, haw been singularly free from them. Governor Smith is right to resent slander and misrepresentation, but he is too old a campaigner not to know that they have never been absent from any presidential campaign, and be has been too long In politics to cry baby. HU own supporters have not been guiltless of attacking Mr. Hoover on religious and other personal grounds. But the former Secretary of Commerce is too sensible, too sure of the common sense of the voter to rush to the stump to deny lhe silly stories that are be­ ing circulated about him. Some of these are carefully calculated to ap­ peal to race prejudice in the South, some are planned to hurt him la the North, and others with the farmers in the West. But Mr. Hoover holds no martyr pose, gives no sign of having a persecution • complex. Governor Smith's friends should tell him that his reputation as a big. broad-minded, "happy warrior'' has been badly Jolted by the radio. Some of the stories that he repeated were preposterous on their face and called for no denial, when he could have used his radio time to some' serious purpose—lo add more definite facts and detailed pro­ grams to the promises and generali­ ties he has been dealing in. ' We are told tliat Governor Smith has "charm." personality—that he is a good friend and a good fellow. All this is no doubt true, but what lhe radio brings to us arc lhe speeches of an op­ portunist. a politician who promises everything and offers no real solution for anything. The country, for instance, would like to have him state clearly and in detail Ids reasons for believing that lie could solve present problems and improve present conditions. It he would devote some of lhe radio time that he is using to tell iu how the republican adminis­ tration has failed, to demonstrate just how he would do better, instead ot ac­ cepting a principle and referring the whole matter to a committee, we could feel that lie had something more than a superficial knowledge of national affairs. Nowhere is his Ignorance fcf fundamental conditions more apparent than when he discusses the farm prob­ lem and farm relief. An economic whispering campaign on vital subjects has been carried on by the democratic candidate, even when he was shout­ ing loudiest about them. The governor Is badly advised if he really believes that those who say they are against him because of hb long affiliation with Tammany Hall are opposing him on religious grounds. Docs he expect us to believe that Tam­ many b now a religious body, con­ cerned with the uplift and political reform and civic righteousness? A high and beautiful note. Politics makes strange bedfellows. but never has there been a airanger sight in a campaign than the dry South, some high-tariff Eastern manu­ facturers and Western farmers sleep­ ing with the wet. traditionally low-tar­ iff. city-of-New-York-rabed governor.

At the Beginning of Winter the DOOD POTATO MARKET I Tubers dompare Favorably Russians Face Severe Hardships dompire r«vor»biy We are awt hearing so very much from Russia in these days: but the experlment In Sovietism is evidently not proving satisfactory so far as bringing to the average peraon there a decent chance to live comfortably. It will be remembered that the Bol­ shevik government started out with the idea tliat a man who had accumulated any property was an enemy to society; so the government proceeded to con­ fiscate the land from lhe big land owners, to take over all the factories owned by Russian corporations and then appropriated thc banks with all their resources and finally the stocks of goods. In addition to all this, it had the Immense resources of the ruling czars, which it has been selling from time to time and putting the money In the public treasury. It also “stripped the churches and monasteries of all their gold, silver and precious stone*. These too have been sold and put into the public treasury. Notwithstanding the returns from all these source*, the public treasury is by no means on easy street and has largely used up th* resource* which it confiscated. Russia. as we know, is the richest country in the world in natural re­ sources. It has the most extensive and the finest wheat growing regions. Il probably has more oil resources than any other nation. If it were properly organized on a sensible basis, every Russian would have a Job and be earn­ ing good pay and the country would be producing enough to satisfy every need of its Inhabitant*. ■ From the daily papers that come to hand we find that Russia, now at the beginning of the usually severe Rus­ sian winter, is beginning to face hard­ ship*. Thc peasant will not grow big quan­ tities of grain, because the government will take it He will raise enough for his own use, but he is not Interested in raising a lot of stuff that the Soviet rulers a? Moscow will confiscate, with­ out giving him anything In exchange. The result of all this Is that Russia la right now facing hardship. The cost of living is soaring. Prices of staple food product* have increased 20 per­ I cent in lhe teat month, according to dispatches from Moscow, and are rising ■ all the time, ■ There is an acute shortage of more than a dozen articles. Soup meat j sells at 40c a pound in Moscow. White ' flour, if obtainable at all Is from 25c to• 3Jc a pound, macaroni 20c pound, rice 1 27c pound, cheese .and roast beef 50c . pound. Poultry, potatoes and vege-| tables are about the only reasonably priced product* In Moscow. Butter •ells for *1.00 a pound. Even In the villages thetf is a scarcity of bread. Peasants stand in line for hours, waiting to buy such a common necessity aa kerosene for lamps and stove*. Yet Russia Is the third largest oil producing country in developed, it eouid supply lhe world's entire needs for oil Evidently the Soviet experiment In Communism 1* not working to the ad­ vantage of the people. The only good thing that thc Soviet* have accom­ plished up to date has been the break­ ing up of-the big landed estates and passing the ownership on to the peasant*. It was this move that kept the peasant* from rebelling against lhe Bolshevik government. The fact that the peasants now have more land than formerly is keeping them within bounds; and yet they arc shrewd enough not to exert themselves to raise large crops when they know lhe Mos­ cow government officials will swoop down and take the moat of them with­ out compensation. Russia ha* changed it* attitude to­ ward capitalism to lhe extent of Invit­ ing foreigners to locste industries in Russia and promises them protection. But up to this Ume the number of foyignera who have walked Into this trap ha* been comparatively small. Foreigners remember lhe Ume when the Bolsheviks took over the govern­ ment that they confiscated all property owned by foreigner*. They are not I likely to go over there and build up profitable InsUluUons to have this opI eratwn repeated. ASK INDIVIDUAL CO­ OPERATION IN TB WORK. .Lansing. Michigan.

These forces, however, have almost reached the'llmit of their application, he de­ clared. and must now be supplemented by the sympathy and support of the average man and woman.

A hundred weight of potatoes contains 17.1 pounds of total digestible nutrients, and lhe same amount of com allege contains 17.7 pounds of nutrients. Potatoes, when used for cow feed, give the beat result* if a legume hay and a balanced grain ration are fed with them. The tubers furnish heat and en­ ergy for the cows but do not contain all lhe needed elements for milk. The feeding of potatoes should be begun gradually. Small amounts should be given for the first few days and then increased until the maximum quantity. 20 to 30 pounds, U being Ted. The pota­ toes should be run through a root cut­ ter or chopped finely. The tubers should be fed immediate­ ly after the cows are milked. Till* will prevent any tainting of the milk. Ex­ cessive quantities of potatoes sometimes cause a poor quality of butterfat. The dairy specialists al State College say that a good ration for a 1.000 pound cow. which Is giving 30 pounds of 4 per cent milk daily. Is 25 pounds of raw potatoes. 10 to 12 pounds of alfalfa hay and 10 pounds of a good grain mixture. This mixture can be made of 400 pounds of cornmeal. 300 pounds of grouniToats, 50 pounds of linseed meal, and 50 pounds of 43 per cent cottonTHE BUILDER. Now that the campaign Is drawing to a close, there Is one fact-of which thc people may rest assured—namely, that Mr. Hoover Is peculiarly fitted by temperament. training and experience to meet the problems of the hour. The country has very nearly passed through the period of readjustment which follovfed the war. We would not dare say that the need for watchful economy which Mr. Coolidge has stressed is over; but willingly or not. the country is en­ tering a period of vast construction, of broad, heavy economic problems with which Mr. Hoover U particularly fitted to cope. No matter what the voter's individual personal preference may be. it Is cer­ tain that the next few years will wltne*s a scientific, economic and indus­ trial revolution. Mr. Hoover has proved himself a master of emergencies; he has handled armies of men In many countries, and has dealt with many governments in regard to matters of the largest Import We are more than fortunate In being able to hire such a general manager for the largest busi­ ness In the world. It seems almost thc hand of destiny that a man with such an equipment should be ready for thc work before us. , New York City and Albany are Im­ portant places, but Governor Smith himself must have too great a sense of humor to pretend that he is as well ac­ quainted with a* many sections of the country as Mr. Hoover. Certainly he has no such familiarity with Interna­ tional affairs. He lias no such knowl­ edge of agricultural problems and no such first-hand contact with vast operations in food supply and other commodities and Industries. But. U Is said. Governor Smith, if elected President, will call conferences of the best authorities on agriculture, and take the advice of such men. Mr. Hoover, however, hu not only had to do first-hand with these matters for years but iiu probably talked with more authorities and attended or called more conferences than anyone else alive. Already he knows what the facts are; he does not have to learn them from thc ground up. Mr. Hoover hu always evoked en­ thusiasm and loyalty . from armies of assistants and employes. He hu prob­ ably done more than any other man to bring about better homes in America. Those who meet him. whether for the first time or after hundreds of contact*, come away kith the impression that he hu a wonderful fund of information concerning every section of thc country and its peculiar problems. But those who know him—and their name Is le­ gion—have a far more significant im­ pression of him than this. They are convinced by every word and act and movement of the man that he< is far more Interested in the country’s wel­ fare than In his own. He hu no time for egotism; his Idea is to get the Job done. The progress of the country is his underlying thought. The main is­ sue now Is properly to direct and per­ petuate our prosperity and to use it for the higher purposes of humanity. Does any fair-minded person seriously doubt that Herbert Hoover is the outstanding man of thc time for this appointed task?—Saturday Evening Post. PINE LAKE CLUB.

Will Speak at This Opening LEWIS BAHLMAN KILLED BY SHOT FROM HIE OWN GUN ON WEDNESDAY FOOT WAS CAUGHT IN A CROTCHED LIMB He and Glen Boyle Had Been Hunting Rabbits on Spaulding Farm Lewis Bahlman, aged 42, whose home was at 130 East Walnut BL. Kalamazoo, was instantly killed by the accidental discharge of his own shot gun in a woodlot on the farm of Walter Spaul­ ding in Prairieville, on Wednesday forenoon last week, probably about ten o’clock. Mr. Bahlman leaves a wife, but no children. He had charge of the rug and drapery department of the J. R. Jones Company of Kalamazoo, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. • It appears that Mr. Bahlman drove from Kalamazoo early that morning to the home of his friend. Glen Boyle, of Milo. The two went hunting ta the woods that skirt the lower part of Crooked lake. They were after rabbits and squirrels. Bahlman's weapon was a single barrel shotgun. After* they went into the woods, they became separated, but Mr. Boyle heard Buhlman shoot two or three limes and knew that he was shooting at squirrel neats; for he was close enough to see that. A little later they became still farther separated. Mr. Boyle heard the discharge of Bahlman's gun and from that time on did not see or hear any­ thing of him. He decided after a time when he did not see or bear Bahlman. that ixMslbly his friend had gone back to Milo, and possibly wanted to return to the city. They had then been sep­ arated for some little time. So Boyle went back to Milo and found Bahlman’s car standing where it did when he first drove up to the Boyle home. He did not see Bahlman anywhercaround. (Continued on page four) CONG. KETCHAM’S PLAN WARMLY COMMENDED Mester National Grange Urges Ketcham’s Debenture Plan for Farm Relief "What is known as the Ketcham Debenture Plan for farm relief, em­ bodied in Congressman John C. Ketch­ um's bill presented at Ute last session of congress, offers a nfethod of bring­ ing tariff benefits immediately la those branches of American agriculture which produce an exportable surplus." said Louis J. Tabor of Columbus, Ohio. Master of the National Orange, in an address which he gave ut the closing session of the Michigan State Orange at the Parker Home The members of the Lions Club in­ vited their wives to a social time with them on Monday night last week at the Parker house. There were about 50 present. They surely did have an in­ teresting and enjoyable affair. A lot of clever stunts were put on which pro­ duced plenty of merriment. This, we believe, is the first Joint meeting the Lions have had with their wives. The latter were so delighted with it that they have begun making plans to en­ tertain their husbands on some future occasion. 8W COUNTY NEEDS 1 RED CROSS NURSE WORTHWHILE INVEST­ MENT-SPLENDID RE­ SULTS CERTAIN PREVENTION OF DIS­ EASE THE MODERN IDEA Goat Would Be Comparatively Little—A Benefit to Every Community Apropos of the Red Cross solicitation in Barry county for funds with which organization, the BANNER wishes to make a suggestion.

The Hoover upheaval swept practically every northern state end more thaiy half the southern slates into his column, according to the reports available at this writing. The result proves that the Literary Digest’s poll was right this year, as it was in 1920 and 1924. The breakup of the solid south is a good thing from every standpoint. It is to be hoped that never again will there be |X)!iUcai divisions based on sectional lines. As a result of the sweeping Hoover victory, it can be taken for granted that the 18th amendment will not be amended. The various states in the DUIMESM1S COMING MH.

The outstanding things of the Boy Scout training are Its Insist­ ence upon every Scout "doing a good ; tum to someone every day;" its insistonce upon respect for elders; interest in wild life; Its efficient help for those who I may be injured—all these gave some idea of the value of the Scout move- I ment.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7? Ittt GREAT HOOVER LANDSLIDE! (Continued from page one) discuss any remarks that Mr. Smith, had n-aXa, made, »••.< but nnniinari confined hta his rriuefitmi criticisms to the democratic platform and to propositions urged to carry out that platform. On the other hand Mr. Smith seemed to take delight in un­ sparing criticism of. and personalities directed against. Herbert Hoover. The egotism of the democratic candi­ date. as shown by his own claims to greatness, were not relished by the American people. It is a notable victory and a splendid exhibition ot American good sense. It shows that the American people are sound and can be trusted to make wise decisions in political matters. They did not believe that the time had come when our government should be ruled by a man trained by Tammany, notwithstanding the fact that he had made a creditable record as governor of New York. They did not believe that a man who proposed a course that would amount to nullifying the 18th amendment was the type of mon who ought to be placed in the highest office in the gift of the American peo­ ple. They did believe that the best traditions of America ought to still maintain, as they will under Herbert Hoover. The Slate. In Michigan the vote for Hoover and Smith showed that the electorate of this state preferred the republican candidate by three to one. Governor Green carries the state in about the same proportion, notwithstanding the noisy claims made for Comstock before election. Tiie legislature is overwhelm­ ingly republican. Arthur Vandenberg, for United States senator, had the same proportion of the vote as did Hoover and Green. Even Detroit gave Hoover a two to one lead over Smith, notwithstanding the claims made on Monday that Smith would sweep that city. While no definite figures can be given on congressman the indications are that the entire Michigan delegation will be republican. Our own Congressman Ketcham was reelected, according to best estimates | that can be made, based on figures ob- . talnable at this Writing, by fully 30.000 majority in this district, which Is going some. ' " The County. In Barry county Hoover and Smith ran in about the proportion of four to one. The vote on Governor between Green and Comstock was about In the same proportion. The entire republi­ can state ticket, with the exception of attorney general carried by nearly the same proportion as did the governor and president.

The trouble seems to have been that, when the 18th amendment wm adopt­ ed. people who had before been very earnest In promoting the cause of ternI>erance and later prohibition by coun­ ties and then by states and finally by the country, seemed to have arrived at the idea that once prohibition wm written in the federal constitution no further effort in the direction of teach­ ing temperance need be required.

BUSINESS GENIUS LAID FOUNDATION OF SUCCESS • Working without a plan is sailing without a compass." says the old pro­ verb and It can well be applied to the administration of one’s personal affairs. One of the first essentials in making plans Is to keep a budget. This may seem a trivial matter yet It te the only method by which any person can plan hte financial affairs scientifically or develop greater efficiency in personal economics. A man who te often referred to as a business genius recently said: "E^rly In life, when a boy, I formed the habit of jotting down a record of every penny I spent. This taught me the value of system and frugality. I soon found myself able to save a little money. As I grew, I developed habits of general thrift from this simple beginning, and. with a small amount of capital thus available when I reached the age of maturity. I was able to take advantage of opportunities that led to subsequent success." Many other men who have achieved great success in the business world could give similar testimony. Every business concern keeps a strict account of every penny received and spent, and a business which transacted its affairs in any other manner would be most incapably managed. The value of budget keeping te es­ pecially applicable to the young, for the habit thus formed early in life te quite apt to be carried along as a per­ manent routine. If you are endeavoring to got ahead In the world and be prepared for the rainy days that come Into all lives, adopt first of all the rule of keeping an accurate dally record of your expenses. You will find that by the adoption of this system your progress In thrift will be made doubly easy and you will soon be surprised at the difference these well-ordered practices make in the ac­ count of your savings.—By 8.

Woodman with Marian and Paul attended church in Kalamazoo last Sunday and also visited . Ruth Woodman and other relatives. Albert P. Becker and Ids brother Otto D„ of Muskegon, are two fellows who were certainly mos\ fortunate in not wiling their 130 acre farm near that city. The farm itself was a very poor one, of sandy soil and far from productive. Tiie brothers made a living by making content blocks and disposing of them to buyers In the city and surrounding teritory. Then oil wA discovered in Muske­ gon. A company of men leased the farm of the Becker brothers, by which the brothers were to get one-eighth royalty on all oil that might be se­ cured tlrrough oil wells on their farm. A well was drilled and a “gusher" was drilled In. having an estimated production at first of all the way from 10,000 to 18,000 barrels In 24 hours. Tills later decreased to a daily production of around 2500 barrels. As the Becker brothers get oneeighth of this, it will be readily seen that their one-eighth of this 2500 bar­ rel daily production, will be over 300 barrels ot oil each day. As this Mus­ kegon oil has a ready market at around 11.45 per barrel, their income will be well over 3400 per day from this one well. As other wells are drilled on the Becker farm, this income will doubt­ less be considerably increased. An effort is being made in Michi­ gan to limit the drilling of oil wells to one well on each five acres. This would permit 24 wells to be drilled on thi? Becker Bros. 120 aero farm. It th? other wells should even approach the first one drilled. It can be seep that lhesf two brothers will have quite a sizable income. What is known as the "Becker” well near Muskegon will be ranked as among the large producers In the country. Contrary to the former opinion held by geologists, it proves very conclusively that there ta oil in Michigan—and probably a lot of It. State Geologist Smith says that he Is firmly convinced that there Is oil under Barry county. Where it may be found, or how much of it may be found, can only be disclosed by drill­ ing. In any event we hope that the good fortune that came to the Becker brothers In Muskegon may be repeated many times in Barry county, and such a thing is easily possible. ASSYRIA. The Rev.

The convention leaders divided into three groups for discussion. The first group took up the question of the coun­ try church, how to make It more useful and of greater service.

Starting the second week of “Abie's Irish Row" at Powers the new company of Wright Players is giving the public large measures of laughter. This comedy drew large audiences last week and there is a promising out­ look for the current week. The characters in this play are ar­ ranged in pairs. Miss Gertrude King and George Simpson continue their good work as the romantic pair. Abie and Rosie; Jane Stewart and Ellis Stevens occasion much merriment as a character comedy pair. Mr and Mrs. Cohen; Thomas Rolfe as Solomon Levy, father of Able, and Forrest Orr as Pat­ rick Murphy, father of Rosemary, are the belligerent pair whose quarrels are quieted by the Rabbi Samuels and Fr. Whalen, played by Rex Benware and Franklin George. The rabbi and the priest are the pair who advocate peace and tolerance. The lines and situations occasion the laughter. Here are a few of the things they laugh at in "Abie's Irish Rose " Rosemary—I was not exactly a train­ ed nurse. Soloman—I had a trained nurse once She was not exactly trained either. Rosemary—Long skirts trail on the ground and collect microbes. Soloman—Well, microbes would have a long Jump to reach that hem. Rabbi Samuels—Why do you call Mr. Murphy an A. P. A? Solomon—I don't know, but It makes him mad. Abie—I'm not marrying Rosie be­ cause she is or isn't Jewish. I would not care if she were a Turk. Cohan—Well, that wouldn't be so BOWNE CENTER.

In the senate, at the present time, there are 47 republicans. 46 democrats, one farm laborite and two vacancies. Next Marcii. according to the best available information, there will be 56 republicans tn the senate to 39 demo­ crats and one farm laborite. who holds , over—a republican majority of 16. In­ eluded, however. In the republican ma­ ; jority there are two senators who open­ , ly opposed Mr. Hoover in the last cam­ ; paign. Senator Norris, progressive, of , Nebraska and Senator Blaine, also pro■ gresaive. of Wisconsin. Senator ; Brookhart of Iowa. Senator Borah of , Idaho and both senators from North 1 Dakota, all of them progressives, ao­ ; lively supported Herbert Hoover in the ■ election, as did Couzens of Michigan. 1 These are all classed as progressives. ! LaFollette of Wisconsin declined to ■ take any part in the presidential elec­ ’ tlon. Thus it can be seen that, while the republicans have 16 majority in the ■ senate, as a matter of fact they cannot ; control that body on a political ttsue. . if all the progressives are opposed; but ; that docs not seem to be likely undcr , conditions that now exist, when five • of them actively supported Herbert ; Hoover. • Without any kind of question the ; election means that the 18th Amendment Is In the constitution to stay and • it will not be changed: nor will the ’ Volstead act he modified: nor will any . state be permitted to go into the saloon business. Prohibition has been so ; thoroughly sustained by the voters of this country that it can be accepted as n settled policy of our nation. The so­ ber. second thought of the American people evidently arrived at the conciusion that we cannot maintain our in­ dustrial supremacy, with a wage scale that is three times as high os that paid in any other nation in the world, except । by continuing prohibition as our naj tlonal policy. Factory production in ' this country is predicated on clear brains, which Is not possible if they are muddled with alcohol, and on con­ trol of expensive and accurate ma­ chinery. which is out of the question if the men who operate such machines indulge in alcoholic drinks. The result of the election also should put an end forever to the claim that prohibition has been put over upon an unwilling American people. The “un­ willing American people" demonstrated on November 6. that they are very willing tn fact very determined to keep the saloon forever out of this country, and to enforce prohibition more WEST WOODLAND. thoroughly' than It ever had been en­ Holmes Ladles Aid will meet with forced before.

The question arises as to how the costs shall be met in cases of this kind. In our Judgment there should be no question about that They may not be ready to admit it. but the people of De­ troit and Orand Rapids and other large cities arc or should be Just as much in­ terested In having proper school facil­ ities in a township like Yankee Springs as are the people who live there. People who may be bom tn Yankee Springs may not always remain there. If they go away the chances are the majority of them will locate in some large city The better they are equipped by educa­ tion to meet their duties and responsi­ bilities as residents of a dty the better citizens they will make. Thus It can be seen that the large cities of Michigan particularly, as well as smaller towns in Michigan in genera) and all our people are interested In adequate school fadlItles for all the children of this state. Admitting this carries the implication | that it is up to the entire state to see that the citizens of every township where there are enough children to make a township school shall be pro- 1 vided with proper school facilities. We have indicated several times that this could be done easily by means of a state Income tax. whereby the burden of adequate school buildings and school maintenance could be lifted from com­ munities and townships unable to carry it. because of lack of the necessary amount of assccaable property, and placed upon the state at large. That is the way it is managed In Wisconsin, although they have not the township unit system. But a plan has been work­ ed out in that state whereby teachers are largely paid, where the amount of taxable property in a dMjlgt js below a certain fixed minimum from* the public treasury, of the state of Wisconsin, the : funds being raised by taxation upon the larger and more wealthy district units of that state. However there are districts in Barry county where there is property enough to establish and to maintain township unit schools. Just as lias been done with so great satisfaction in the township of 1 Woodland. At the outset, when the I matter was up tor action, the sentiment there for a township school was by no means unanimous and the majority for , it was not large. Many citizens ot Woodland fell that they ought not to ' be burdened for such a building. How­ ever, they have discovered that they are i able to pay for it. They have also dis-I covered that the children of Woodland are getting far better instruction than | they possibly could in the district schools, and they can remain at home, with all the helpful home surroundings and complete their high school course., Further, they have found that the con-1 solldated school building can be used for a number of community purposes. It is made to serve the people in many j ways. We are sure, from what we have (earned in Woodland township, that an overwhelming majority ot the people would not want to return to the old district school: for experience has proven the great superiority of the township school and its possibilities have only begun to be realized There is no reason why there should not be established In Nashville a town­ ship unit school that could serve prac­ tically the entire township and possibly Maple Grove also; but certainly the entire township of Castleton. There is no reason why there could not be es­ tablished and maintained at Middleville a consolidated school that would serve the entire township of Thomapple as well as the adjoining township of Yan­ kee Springs. The maintaining of it would cost no more, and in some cases considerably less, than it now costs to maintain the Inadequate district schools. Forward-looking men and women ot the townships mentioned, we believe, ought to interest themselves in Ulis matter. If they shall do so they will surely not regret it and will find, u Woodland has found, that such a school not only provides better school facil­ ities. but also can be made a real com­ munity asset for not only the villages mentioned but the people of the town­ ships as well. The state in ail consolidations, such os suggested above, pays a good share of the cost of transportation of pupils and also a generous part ot the expense of maintaining a department of agricul­ ture in such schools. gathered to surprise her with CLOVERDALE.

Mr. Kim Sigler. Prosecuting Attorney. Hastings. Mich. Dear Mr. Sigler: In consideration of our personal friendship, covering a period of years, I take plgasure to erfdeavour ’ to give briefly some Important facts in connection with the development of oil In this territory. Ordinarily this Information is not broadcast: but on account of the source of the inquiry and the interest of your people tn general by their constituted officers, I am pleased to submit the fol­ lowing information. Considering the fact that the experlence covers a period of less than one year, all important Incidents in connection therewith can be briefly summarized. A gentleman named Stanley Daniloff, a merchant tailor in the city of Muskegon and residing in the country- * wide adjacent to the most productive field, conducted an independent sur­ vey. by 'enlisting the state geologists, and obtaining information wherever that was possible. He talked oil in season and out of season, to every business man and citi­ zen with whom he came In contact. The beginning of the development resulted at an evening bridge party of several prominent friends of Mr. Danlloff. where it was determined that they pool , their Interests and make an honest search, with a view of obtaining oil. in which they were finally successful. One of the parties at this important meet­ ing was Willard G. Turner, a leading attorney and one of the original mem­ bers of the Muskegon OU Corporation and at the present time one ot Its of­ ficers. I take pleasure In referring the several questions you ask of me to him and I am sure he will be able to answer • very carefully In detail. It is Important to observe that the . Muskegon OH Corporation Is owned I and controlled by Muskegon citizens and Muskegon capital, which I am I sure has been a great benefit to the 1 people of this community, because of | the development which It Insures. Very truly yours. B. G. Oosterbaan. Muskegon.'Mich.. November 12, 1928. Klm Sigler. Esq.. Prosecuting Attorney. Hastings. Mich. Dear Mr. Sigler: Your lettter of the 9th concerning oil development in Muskegon county gnd n plan now under way in your community to bring to the surface gas and oil. if present, has been referred to me by Mr. B. G. Oosterbaan. of the Muskegon Chamber of Commerce, for answer. Following some ten months of exper­ ience in this work In this locality. I am pleased to outline to you what I feel | will be by far the most satisfactory ar­ rangement for you. Instead of |>ermitting outside inter­ ests to gain any particular hold of the situation. I would most strongly advise j local development of your proposition, | and a certain coupling of your interests with a reputable and experienced oil company. The Idea back of keeping the interest a local one L<i that development win I come much more rapidly and far more ; satisfactorily, since with Barry county men in charge, they will naturally do • only those things looking to the advanccmcnt of your interests, and will not so delay development generally as | to discourage proper operation of. an oil and gas field, should one be discov-. ered there. The idea of getting a reputable and . experienced oil company to work with I you is only for the purpose of obtain-1 ing geological data, which I am satisfled can be obtained in no other way. I and can be so arranged for. that the; interest of such company wiH be only 1 a minor one. In any.event. We have found from experience In our own field that it Is the general ten­ dency of a large oil company, if In con­ trol. to begin operations and then sit I tight, looking only trrthe advancement | of its own proposition and caring noth­ ing tor the community and its advance­ ment.

Thia master picture opens a four days engagement at the Strand Theatre Wednesday. Nov. 38. Judged by the throngs and enthusiasm prevailing at the premiere, crowded houses will be the rule throughout the engagement. We flrat see Jesus through the eyes of a blind girl whose sight He restored; share the love and enthusiasm of the boy John Mark who wa* enabled to throw away his crutches: and watch the Seven Deadly Blns being driven out of the proud Mary of Magdala. Pharisee* and Scribes Fearful. Watching all this were Pharisees and Scribes who sensed in Hl* new author­ ity menace to their purses and power. In Judea through a grove of olive tree* we follow Him in an exquisite interlude with children. Summoned by Martha and Mary to Bethany. He goes thither and raises their dead brother Lazarus from the tomb. He drives the money­ changers from the courts of the Temple al Jerusalem, after saving the life of a poor sinful creature whom the Temple legalists would have cruelly stoned to death. Next we see in the Temple the multi­ tudes hailing Jesus os King of Kings Judas, the false Disciple, consents to betray his Lord for thirty pieces of *11-, ver. and sits a traitor at the Last Sup­ per. which I* herein portrayed with an ■ art worthy of Leonardo da Vinci. Taken at night in Getluemane, Jesus 1 is hurried before the High Priest and the Sanhedrin, and thence before the judgment seat of Pilate. Some of the grandest work of the picture apj>ears In this great .Trial Scene. H. B. Warner as the persecuted Christ. Victor Varconi as Pontius Pilate and George Siegmann a* Barabbas reach great height* of dramatic power. The Tragedy on Golgotha. O'ertoppkig all the previous scenes, the tragedy on Golgotha and the vio­ lent earthquake and storm accompany­ ing the crucifixion rise to the greatest climax ever witnessed on the screen. The denouement, portraying the mystic rising of Jesus from the dead. His ap­ pearance before the Holy Mother and the Magdalene. His convincing of I doubting Thoma*, and sending forth of the Apostles to establish Christianity throughout the earth, is magnificent. Unlike the conventional depictions. Cecil B DeMllle Iras succeeded in tre­ mendously humanizing the characters Ernest Torrence is a remarkable St. Peter. Jacqueline Logan a living Mag­ dalene.

I would begin a work of love and duty. I would bld the cold marble s;>eak for me. as I plied the chisel to iU sides until the rough hard surface took the shape I wished, and at last a cow stood revealed, wide and kind-eyed, in a pos-, ture of patient waiting to give the rich ' contents of her swelling udder, and' bless the receivers with joy and health and strength. I would make a base on which this. spirit of my dreams would stand, and around its rim I would carve the fig­ ures of dear little babies, their hands and expectant faces raised towards' their best friend in all the animal world, the friend that never fails them: , the one that puts the firm, pink flesh upon their tender frames, the one that brings dimples and smiles like the touch of angel wings, when the sweet. * life-giving milk trickles in a velvet sugar stream down their tiny throats, and settle down for the last reixwe. until the bottle falls away, and sleen may they pass easily and naturally in­ comes to caress and hqjd them still in to a better and fairer land, where the 11 Its protecting arms. grass is forever green, and neither flies The cow is an uncrowned queen nor tiger men can molest them or make without a scepter, and her kingdom is them afraid —Breeder's Gazette. all the land between the seas.

Women were so feminine then, and never minded staying at home to at­ tend the furnace, or wearing dust caps while they swept the dust from one room to another. or getting red hands from trimming lamps and scrubbing floors.

Journeys are now made in great crowds of traffic and hurrying persona instead of on bicycles built for two. and in Victorias and Hansoms which always seem so nice and leisurely.

The animals will be weighed and a careful examina­ tion given them under the supervision of the animal husbandry department at Michigan State College. The contest will continue for a year and award* will be made on the devel­ opment of the colt, both In weight and In freedom from defects and blemishes. The proper care of feet and legs of the colts will play an important part in de­ termining the winner of this new style horse race.

It is an Important factor In the successful battle being waged to raise the health standards of the na­ tion. In some of our rural sections where official health agencies have not yet been developed the Red Cross is en­ deavoring to meet the most urgent needs and B laying the foundation for future progress In local public health work. Its workers have penetrated mountain communities where the whistle of a locomotive has never been heard. They are working In every State In the Union—tn Alaska, the Canal Zone, and the Philippines.

Brandstetter Motor Sales wch'ican AND BAGS POTATOES. Picking up potatoes—the hardest and most backbreaking task connected with potato growing—has at last yielded to the cunning and ingenuity of invention, reports the Research De­ partment of the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers. As a result of several years of exper­ imentation. a Minnesota potato grower has developed a combination picker and bagger which attaches to the rear of any standard potato digger, separ­ ating the potatoes from the vines and trash and placing them in a crate or sack, ready to be hauled to market or storage cellar as soon as they are dug. A man or boy on the running board of the picker and bagger operates it under ordinary circumstances, replac­ ing from seven to nine men picking up potatoes by hand. Another important advantage gained from using tho picker and bagger is the prevention of sunburned potatoes which often occurs when potatoes lie on top of the ground waiting to be picked up by hand.

In traffic yon have noted its quick ac­ celeration and the safety of }ts brakes. Yon know how I climbs the hills. On long trips and over rough stretches ydn have come to appreciate its easy-riding comfort. Continuous driv. Ing has proved its economy of operation and low cost of up-keep. One of the best ways to do this is to take your car to the Ford dealer every 500 miles for oiling and greas­ ing and a checking-up of the little things that have such a great bearing on long life and continuously good performance. This is an invitation to yon to take full advantage of the service facilities of the Ford dealer organiza­ tion so that yon may con­ tinue to enjoy many thou­ sands of miles of carefree, economical motoring.

WASTE THROUGH TRAFFIC DELAYS, of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, for some data that gives a hint as to the vast losses sus­ tained by the public through traffic delays. He finds, for example, that in downtown Boaton delays In traffic cost the community J24.500.000 a year in addition to losses from accidents which approximate t2.000.000 a year Chicago's loss is approximately $220.­ 000.000 a year and New York's tribute to the traffic problem is more than $350,000,000 a year or approximately Jl.000,000 a day. Mr. Barker concludes that $2,000.­ 000.000 a year is a conservative estimate of lhe nation's bill for traffic delays. This figure does not. of course. Include' losses from accidents which must run high Into the millions of dollars. There la. however, another aide to Uie picture, for. aa Mr. Barker points out. “San Francisco found that its new traffic code resulted in reductions of accidents ranging from 30 to 40 per cent in the records of companies oper­ ating 50, 100 and 400 motor vehicles. One street railway company reported a reduction of 24.7 per cent in pedestrian accidents. A saving of $2,000,000 a year in the cost of automobile accidents Is being made for San Francisco motor­ ists. Los Angeles reports an bierease of 30 per cent tn the movement of street traffic after revising its regula­ tions.” It Is generally agreed that the traffic situation is one of our great problems. Few of us have thought of It. perhaps. In such definite terms of dollars and cents, but the figures here quoted give an idea of the heavy financial drain which these conditions are Imposing on the public. It Is a matter, therefore, not only of public safety and convenience but of public thrift problems be taken up with vigorous attention. There is not an urban community in the United States or Canada today that la without a seri­ ous traffic problem. Thrifty communities will make a serious study of their traffic situations, for, in doing so. they will effect a tre­ mendous saving of money and prevent accidents that are costly to life and limb. —By 8.

The variety and magnitude of its ac­ tivities are known to relatively few. During each month of the last year, more than 56,000 service and ex-service men received assistance from this vast organization. In our military hospitals during that year, the Red Cross provid­ ed more'than 22.000 recreational and entertainment events. Of paramount importance is its work for our men in the hospitals, where the "Greatest Mother" is carrying on a piogram of service with which we can­ not dispense.

It now seems quite probable that the proposed bicycle path from the south line of Michigan through the center of the state to the Straits of Mackinaw will become a reality and that before 1000 riders will have a fine path the whole length of the state. Most of the riders of Hastings have been called upon to contribute and have readily responded. A few years hence we may find bicycle paths all through this pa. t of Michigan. A. H.

Thanksgiving, though it has long been observed nationally, is a New Rugland institution. Only those states. East and West acknowledge a strong New England tradition, are wont to give themselves wholeheartedly to its gusta­ tory enthusiasm*. In the south, though legally proclaimed by ’the various state governors, it has remained a stepchild among holidays. Its only sanctity there rests on the fact that George Washing­ ton proclaimed it nationally when he occupied the chief magbtry and sought to weld the country into a unit socially as well as politically. Mr. Coolidge now goes him one bet­ ter in hb purpose to transfer the scene of the festival, as observed by the Pres­ ident. from the national capital deep into the land of the lukewarm.

Minmxviux TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THEHOON VISIBLE ON NOVEMBER 27 Everyone In the United States will have the opportunity of seeing the to­ tal eclipse of the moon this coming No­ vember 37—but the spectators will have to be pretty early. For the moon will enter tiie earth's shadow at 2:34 A. M., eastern standard time. Total eclipse begins at 3:33 and lasts until 4:30 o'clock, when the moon begins to emerge. At 8:39 A. M. the eclipse will be over. Central times are one hour earlier, mountain times two hours and Pacific times three hours. The moon will probably not disap­ pear from view although entirely with­ in the shadow for nearly an hour. Considerable sunlight is refracted Into the shadow through the ring of the, earth's atmosphere around the base of the shadow. The moon at that time will be dim and noticeably red like the setting sun. During a lunar eclipse, recent ob­ servations have shown, the moon's surface temperature drops from 170 de­ grees Fahrenheit immediately before the eclipse to 190 degrees below during the total eclipse. A drop of MO degress in an hour or two! Borne cold wave I Of course, no one lives on the moon, for it is air­ less and barren. The absence of atmospcric protection permits the sud­ den change in temperature. During the long lunar night, a thernwmeter'at the surface would register not higher than 150 degrees below zero. The earth's conical shadow stretches nearly a million miles into space. At intervals of 20 1-2 days the moon, then at the full phase, overtakes the shad­ ow: but it posses usually above or be­ low and there is no eclipse. The num­ ber ot lunar eclipses in a year varies from three to none at all. Borne of them are only partial and • not visible from the earth. Astronomers now know far in advance the times and circumstances of eclipses. At the Umea of full moon, near the middle and the end of Lhe year, conditions are most favorable for eclipses.—Exchange.

Their larder, however, was very limited; they had only a few products that they themselves had cultivated and a few others that they were able to obtain from the wilds of natufe. Today, with our modern methods of distribu­ tion, we bring the pick of the world's finest gardens to your very doorstep—almost ready to serve. The foremost thought in our mind is to give you the best that can be secured at home or abroad. That is why we always recommend the Richelieu brand to you when you ask us for the best we have. The unusual high food value of Richelieu products makes them more economical than oth­ er brands which are being sold at a few cents less per article.

The success of this venture depends on the amount of self-discipline the other five have In keeping their ranks from being flooded by other girls who want a.trip abroad. The danger of the McNary-Haugen bill is not that it is wrong in principle, but that the-.suc­ cessful operation requires a perfection or organization and a degree of- selfdtodpllne which the farmers’ organi­ zations have not yet attained. It is entirely possible that it might turn out to be one of those pieces of social legislation in which farmers will learn I as they go. It more nearly strikes at the heart of lhe farm problem than do those who advocate "scientific farming" and Increase of production. < KLINGENSMITH.

IMS rrorr* The Interesting Story of a Barry County Farmer Who Made Good on a Poor Farm R. V. Neil of Irving Township Found “Acres of Diamonds” on a Sandy Barren Hundred Acres by Using a Mixture of Hard Work, Common Sense and Fertilizer! Barry county has many acres of light sandy soil lying idle, which have been abandoned by owners, because of unproductiveness of the soil. Perhaps some of the farms could never be made to pay. Undoubtedly many farmers have been at fault. • R. V. Neil of Irving bought 100 acres of land four years ago, and moved on to it with wife and family of nine children. Practically the whole farm had been farmed without any thought of maintaining the soil fertility. Mr. Neil states that several of the fields were noth­ ing but light sand, and one field that had been planted to beans the year befqre had not been worth harvesting. Some of the neighbors informed him that he would be unable to raise any crops on the soil and it would be useless for him to try. The first summer he began by liming some of the fields and sowing them to alfalfa, be­ ing particular to inoculate his seed. He bought three cows, and when some of the neigh­ bors asked what he was going to feed them, he said he really did not know himself, as there was not an acre of pasture on the entire 100 acres. He planted soy beans, cow peas and sudan grass and by winter of the first year he had eleven head of cattle. The spring of the second year on the farm his work was made doubly hard, due to the death of his wife. Mr. Neil emphatically states that had it not been for his cows which he pur­ chased through the help of the Arctic Dairy Products Company, paying for them from part of his milk receipts, he never could have stayed on the farm. His cows have maintained a steady income throughout the year, and practically all of the crops were left on the farm in the form of manures which the soil very much needed. Since moving on the farm he has roofed his buildings and built a silo at a cost of about $1,000. He has purchased 80 more acres of land, making a total of 180 acres. Mr. Neil now has 80 acres of fine alfalfa, 65 acres of this he used lime on, and this is practically all of the commercial fertilizers he has used to build up his soil. The extent that he has built up his soil is very well shown by the crop of corn that he harvested on one of the fields this year, which was nothing but light sand four years ago. Records from the Arctic Dairy Prod­ ucts Company show that during fhe year 1 927 .from an average herd of 1 2 cows he received $1,1 34.93, and up to and including Septemberof this year from an average herd of 1 5 cows his milk receipts have amounted to $ 1,624.30. These figures do not include a hauling cost of 25c per hundred weight of milk which has been deducted.

By a comparison of the figures in these two tables it can be readily seen that Mr. Neil is ridding his herd of the non-productive cow, and breeding into better producers all the time. jGrctic Dairy Products Company Hastings, Michigan Phone 2424 �THE HASTINGS BANNER Wedneaday, Nov. 21, 1928 Attitude of French Government le Disreputable and Contemptible It will be remembered that during the World war thia country advanced large sums of cash to France, In order to enable that country to continue the war against the central power*. Prance gave her straight note* for these big sums that were handed over to her under the administration of President Wilson. Although the war ended ten years ago that country has, for various reasons, sidestepped her responsibilities and has refused to come to terms with this country in the set­ tlement of this Indebtedness. France has made the plea that she la too poor to make definite fixed terms for meeting lhe large obligation she owes us. In addition to the huge debt witlch she owes to her own peo­ ple. During the administration of President Harding, a French commis­ sion was sent to negotiate a settlement of this debt and had a long session with Secretary Mellon. France's own repre­ sentatives at tiiat time agreed on the terms on which this obligation would be settled—terms that were exceeding­ ly favorable to France, because the government of the United States took into account what France had suffered during the war and was very lenient under the circumstances. This debt settlement was finally brought to the congress of the United Btgtes. It was reluctantly agreed'to because it was considered tiiat we had conceded . far too much to our former ally in the great war. But when the terms of the settlement were reported to France, the French government declined to approve them. Although they have been brought be­ fore tiie French Chamber uf Deputies, no action has ever been taken by that legislative body. There was a huge outcry on the part of the French press that Uncle Sam was a Shylock. trying to drive a hard bargain with a country that had* suffered very much during the World war. This was as false as anything could be. The French gov­ ernment lias continued to show an in­ different attitude toward coming to any terms with reference to this debt. They have held us off on the plea tiiat tiiat country could not pay us until Germany paid them. France knows, or ought to know, the value of Uncle Barn’s service to her during the war. before and certainly after we entered that contest Had It not been for this country ths French never could have succeeded. One would think that gratitude would itave inspired their attitude toward us in lhe payment of their debt to the United OBITUARY.

Laying liens need some sort of green stuff In their ration, poultry­ men find, and alfalfa is often- the cheapest, most practical succulent feed for winter use. Hay may be self fed to hens in racks made of poultry netting or it can be drenched in boiling water and fed hot. If it Is ground before feed­ ing there will be less waste and the hens will eat more. Hay can be eco­ nomically ground on the farm by run­ ning it through a roughage mill or an ensilage cutter. RELIEF FROM CURSE OF CONSTIPATION A Battle Creek physician says. "Con­ stipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause." But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Orderlie* attracts water from the system into the lazy dry. evacuating bowel cabled tiie colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle, thorough move­ ment without forming a habit or ever Increasing the dose. Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night.

A large number of new savings accounts were opened with this old Bank during the past year. It is easy to have a nice savings account—\the trouble with many people about ‘‘saving money” is that they never get around to start sav ing—they spend all they earn as they go along. Nothing adds more to one’s feeling of self respect than to know that one has a sum of money laid away drawing interest and accumulating year by year.

Lansing, Nov. 19.—Michigan's musk­ rat trapping Industry has been an im­ portant one In past years without any­ one knowing to what extent it was be­ ing carried. Previous to tha issuing of licenses this fall, few persons have ever realized that more than 20.0001 citizens plan to trap muskrats on land where they do not live. The office force of the department of conserva­ tion knows better than anyone else Just how great the demand was for permits, as all applications were made to the main office. Besides the mall applications which served to multiply the Department's daily work manifold, thousands ap­ peared for their licenses. The office workers were obliged to work far into the night and spent at least one holi­ day attempting to issue the licenses promptly. During the last few days of the rush, hundreds of applicants stood in line outside the offices waiting for their turn. Final figures on the total number of licenses issued will be announced Just as soon as the department gets its breath and can straighten out the mass He who wants a law to support his of work remaining to be done.

Lansing. Nov. 19—Duck hunters are being asked to forward to lhe Depart­ ment of Conservation, game division, the "crop*' and gizzards of the birds which they shoot. The contents of these organs will be examined in connection with the duck-food survey which the game division is making and will help answer the question. "What do wild ducks eat in Michigan?” When this question is answered, real progress can be made in the planting of suitable vegetation to increase the supply of duck food In countless lakes and marshes. Sportsmen sending in such crops and gizzards are asked to keep them chilled until they can be sent by parcel post} Stomachs of the different duck species should be kept together and should be labeled so as to show the species, and where, when and by whom the ducks were shot. If hunters are in doubt as to the cor­ rect name of any of the ducks which they shoot, and if they will send in n wring of the unknown bird. It will be Identified by the Game Division.

What a tragic, i less sacrifice! K Every owner pays a share of the annual half­ billion loss—whether he has a fire or not. He pays it in insurance, taxes and depredation. Most of this loss occurs in structures of comparatively small size; common sense has forced fire-safe construction of new large buildings. Sound financing will not always permit making a small structure completely fire-proof. But a small increase in cost will yield a large increase in fire-safety. Competent architects say that a fire-safe first floor of reinforced concrete will increase the cost of the average dwelling about two per cent—and even less in larger structures. Statistics indicate that at least thirty per cent of residential fires start in basements. A first floor of reinforced concrete will effectually protect the upper structure against a basement fire. Single dwellings, small apartment houses, stores, hotels, factories,warehouses, theatres, and churches can have the fire-hazard reduced to minor pro­ portions by employing reinforced concrete for first floors, stair enclosures and other vital locations. The additional cost is surprisingly low—and die reduced fire-risk only one of the benefits. Why not put the balj-billion to work? PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION Dime Beak Budding, DETROIT, MICH.

NOVEMBER 21. IMS ROGRESS A YEAR OF It has been just a year since the new Ford was introduced. At this first anniversary, it is interesting to review the record of the months just passed and see what has been accomplished. Since December 2, 1927, nearly 750,000 new Ford cars have been built. Production has been gradu­ ally increased from a few hundred a day to 6000 a day. We expect to make 2,000,000 automobiles in 1929. These are impressive figures. But they are only that. Figures of them­ selves are unimportant. The big thing is that the new Ford has delivered a service beyond all expectations. The promise of a year ago is now an accomplished fact. New Ford is the expression of an ideal Our policy has always been to re­ gard ourselves as charged with mak­ ing the best automobile it is pos­ sible to make at a low price. That is our mission. We have done it for more than twenty years. The public expects us to keep on doing it. That obligation includes good design as well as good materials. We hold it our duty to' permit nothing to stand in the way of prog­ ress, yet we do not make changes simply for the sake of making them. First, it must be demonstrated that what seems like an improvement in theory is an improvement in practice. The new Ford has made a high place for itself because it is built on sound principles. There is nothing of an experiment about it. The whole eflfort has been toward simplicity—to give you outstand­ ing service with as little machinery as possible. That is where experi­ ence counts. Built into the new, Ford is everything we have learned in the making of fifteen million automobiles. The new Ford car embodies the best results of our experience in making 15,000,000 automobiles. We consider it our most important contri­ bution to the progress and prosperity of the country, and to the daily welfare of millions ofpeople.’’ The motor has made a remarkable record Take the motor. It has made a remarkable record because it com­ bines every essential feature of good performance—power, acceleration, smoothness, speed, reliability, econ­ omy and long life. Not just acceleration. Not just smoothness. Not just speed. But the most of all of these features that can be built into a low-priced car without cutting comers or sacrificing quality anywhere along the line. In a word, the quality qf the new Ford goes clear through. Nothing has been done for show. No one part has been given undue promi­ nence at the expense of another. Constantly making a We were building more than a motor when we did this. We were fulfilling the public’s trust in us to make the best selection for their use. better automobile Had any other type been better, we would have chosen that. Value of simplicity shown in performance Daily, in the performance of the new Ford, you can see the value of its sound simplicity of design, its bal­ ance, the care with which it is made, and the quality that has been put into it. It will do 55 to 65 miles an hour, which is fast enough for anyone. You know howquickly it accelerates. You have seen how it. climbs the hills on high. If you drive a new Ford you know its economy of operation and low cost of up-keep. From every part of the world come reports of its reliability and endurance. Many of the new Fords have been driven 50,000 miles in v the past year. Some more than 100,000 miles. There is no telling how far they will go. The average life of the Model T was seven years. We believe this new car will do even better. The engine is the heart of the motor car, of course. Yet there are other features almost as important. We refer particularly to the safety of the fully enclosed six-brake system of the new Ford. To its really remarkable smoothness and stability at all speeds and its easy-riding comfort. To she beauty of its lines and colors. To the ease of control. To the Triplex shatter- proof glass windshield. To the electric weld­ ing that makes it such a strong and sturdy car. The new Ford was a good car when it was first introduced. We made sure of that before we asked you to buy it. It is a better car today. Constantly we are finding new and better ways of doing things. As soon as we are sure of them we put them into the car. There is no such thing as a yearly model. Why should there be? As we make improve­ ments, they are so planned that owners of previously built cars may take immediate advantage of them. Everything that has been done has been done with one purpose— to bring the benefits of modern, economical transportation to all the people. Our mission is to make the best automobile that can be made to sell at a low price. In cver-inctfcasing measure, the new Ford is the expres­ sion of that ideal.

COUNCIL ACCEPTS NEW SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANS Architects’ Plans Have Been Approved by the State Board of Health The council at their meeting Friday night accepted the plans prepared by Messrs. OltTels. Hamilton and Webber of Grand Rapids for the new sewage disposal plant, the plans having pre­ viously been approved by the Michlgnn State Board of Health. There are some engineering difficul­ ties that have made It hard to plan this plant so as to be acceptable to the Slate Board of ^Health. The matter has-been taken up%several times with the state board and finally the modi­ fied plans have been accepted. It is too late of course to attempt anything in the way of construction work for this year; although the money for such work was partly raised In a tax levy of last July. No doubt as ratty as practicable in the spring, actual, work will be tn progress on the new plant, which will be located some dis- ! tance north of the Bookcase factory. The BANNER has commented before on the wisdom of the council In the manner In which they have met this, proposition of a sewage dto|>osal plant., The city authorities in good faith ac­ cepted the order of Die Rtutc Board of Health when it gavr Hastings live years in which to complete a sewage disposal plant, with the necessary connections. Sanitary sewers have been laid in the first ward and connected up with the system. Several other sanitary sewers have been Igid In other parts of the city. There remains now the actual construction of the building and its equipment for the purposes designed, all of which will be carried out next year. An additional amount, will be provided in the tax levy of next July to complete the payment for this new plant, which will have cast the city about $30,000. To Iiave installed such a plant, connected it up and not Issue a dollar of bonds to indeed an accom­ plishment of which this city can well be proud.

Mr. Hill visited each of these farmers this last season to give ‘ such help os might be needed in the middle of the year. Very soon now Mr. ' Hill will help each of these farmers in j closing his books for the year and in I figuring profits and losses and in or­ ganizing a program for greater profit for this next year. 1 A new group of farmers will start tn । the keeping of farm accounts within a i short time with the helpr of college ’ specialists. Farmeni who wish to re­ > celve this direct help of the college in . the keeping of simple farm accounts I should notify the County Agent. The i account books will soon be available for every one at the County Agent's office. At the end of the year the college spec­ ialist will help each one close his books and to organize a program for greater farm profits. F. J.

He i readily agreed and seemed to have the faculty of getting all the neighbor boys to help him so he easily succeeded. j With the 1100 applied on the pur- । chase he bought the ship and seventy years later the original 1100 had . In-, creased to • 100.000.000—probably the largest fortune In the country up to [ that time. With the assistance of State Geolo­ gist R. A. Smith, there has been pre­ pared In this county a lease, which we believe Is absolutely fair to the land owner. We can see no reason why It should not be acceptable tn an oil com­ pany that wants to pay tne game fairly. The Barry county leases will pro­ vide that the land owner shall gel oneeighth of the oil that may be developed on his property and also one-eighth of any gas that may be discovered and sold for any purpose or converted Into gasoline. The usual lease provides for a payment of but »50 and up to 8200 per year for gas that may be sold or con­ verted into gasoline. That la unfair. The Barry county leases also provide I that seven eighths of any increased tax ••THE DANGER RIDER” ’ Cornelius Vanderbilt, founder of the । Vanderbilt fortune, was a great big. | husky, active, farm lad who worked on i his father's farm and tended his boat.1 Quite naturally one of his restless, ac­ tive temperament, became easily dis­ satisfied and he often threatened to CB-OPERITIVE WORK CniHEIHK the oil company and only one* eighth by the owner of the land. This divides the Increase as it ought to be. in proportion to the benefits each may get from the discovery of oil or gas. There is no reason why tiie land owner should pay all the tax on the increased value of his land resulting from such discovery, when he gets only one eighth of the gross proceeds. i Under the ordinary lease an oil com­ pany could continue to hold a man's land so long os there was pumped even a barrel n day from any well on his property; while the Barry county lease provides that the contract shall cease whenever the Income of the property owner from Die oil end gas wells on his farm drops below what he could make the same land earn for* farming pur­ poses. • ■ These leases will be in the hands of the supervisors of Barry county this week and will be presented to land owners. We all want Barry county de­ veloped for oil as soon as possible. The land owners cannot hope to do it them­ selves. It coat* 810,000'tw put down a' well In the Muskegon territory. No farmer could afford to Incur that ex­ pense. It costs money and a lot of It to explore the rock strata underneath the land In Barry county, to decide whether an oil structure may be located if there be such. No farmer or land owner would want to Incur that ex­ pense. Some oil company must do It that Is organized and capitalized for that very purpose. That is the reason why leases will have to be signed before this exploration work or oil develop­ ment can be undertaken. \ Every fanner tn Barry county ought to be Interested In having oil explora­ tion and development work made as aoon as is practical. The leases drawn up for Barry county, at the suggestion of the state geologist, have been drawn with that very purpose in mind of hav­ ing the development work and the ex­ ploring work done as rapidly as pos­ sible. We hope the land owners of Barry county will meet the supervisors in a fair spirit. The supervisors have noth­ ing to gain in thLi matter. They ore doing this for the benefit of the coun­ ty. They will not even get any pay for their work, unless they succeed In get­ ting some oil company to take up the work of exploring the county for oil; and they have agreed to accept as their pay In that event the same compensa­ tion that they now receive for their work as supervisors, which is certainly very fair and very fine of them. Hvcry land owner in Barry county who Is not now tied up by a lease, and we know a few of them are. ought to be glad to sign these leases offered by the supervisors so the county can get large and compact acreages that will induce an early exploration of the county and. RAMESES 3RD WAS A FINANCIAL GIANT (Continued from page one) from a grub to a flying insect, and de- j posits its eggs on the com stalks, which afterwards hatch into small grubs, which bore their way into the stalks and do tiie damage. Not only Is it necessary to plow under [ the stubble, but every bit of com refuse । about the barnyard or anywhere about1 the premises should be carefully' cleaned up and burned. In order to get rid of any 'possibility of the com borer I emerging and doing damage. Of course every farmer who has a silo probably attended to the matter of put- . ting all the stalks and corn he possibly' could Into his silo. That effectually disposes of the oom borer. The pest cannot survive tiie process of changing com Into ensilage. We do not yet know Just what con- | gross may do with reference to the com i borer situation for another year; but It is unquestionably true that, if congress I shall decline to put any money Into the I campaign against the borer. It is up to the Individual farmer, for his own pro-1 tectlon and that of his neighbors, to follow the practices worked out by the i government, which will effectually dis­ pose of the com borer. In certain counties of Ontario, where • this pest gained a footing many years [ ago, this destructive pest had made I corn growing an Impossibility. AU of the canning factories in that region' were closed, because it was no longer possible to raise sweet com. Farmers I had almost no com for their silos or 1 feeding. The government of Canada had done practically nothing in fighting this pest; but the representatives of her agricultural department did visit the United Slates, especially the regions in­ fested by the corn borer, and found out Just what would put a stop to the rav­ ages of th Li pest. These Canadian representatives went back to the sev­ eral counties in Canada where the borer had practically put an end to com growing. They Induced the farmers to take Just the course that has been outlined above, with the result that In 1828 these counties, where It had been feared that com could no longer be grown, produced a good crop in 1328. The canneries had plenty of sweet com this year to supply their de­ mand. The farmers had ensilage ga­ lore and plenty of grain to feed their stock. This was because a cooperative movement was started among the farmeni, by means of which the same methods were applied on every Cana­ dian farm in the Infested area that we have named above, with the splendid results we have mentioned. URGES OPEN MINO 0NF1RMRELIEF (Continued from page one) tally by placing an adequate tariff on all agricultural products that can be grown In the United States and by stabilizing the prices of nonperishable products. Ketcham believes. America is importing its agricultural surplus and a re-adjustment of the tariff woulddo much, he predicted, to correct this situation. Ketcham said there Is no bill or no one formula to solve the sur­ plus problem. While the potato Industry Is suffering from overproduction this year.

By doing away with alow, expensive and inefficient physical labor, it Is today bringing about an agricul­ tural revolution similar to the great changes that took place during the period when power was Introduced in­ to industry. A practical experimental farm es­ tablished In Illinois is a good augury tar the futu/e. It is of 80 acre®, stocked with cows, hogs and chickens, the three great enthusiasms of those who advocate diversified farming. All of the cow's needs are supplied cheaply and quickly by power. The hay is pitched by an electric motor, and the waler pumped Into automatic drinking cups. Electricity cuts the feed and lifts It into blns. Electric milkers do tiie arduous milking Job and electric refrigerators cool the milk. Flies are kept away from the cows by an electric killer that attracts them with bait, and when they touch It, electrocutes them. ' The feed for the pigs is likewise electrically prepared and their house 13 warmed by an electric stove. Electricity operates the Incubator and young chickens are treated with ultra-violet rays to prevent sickness. By use of electric light the hen's work­ ing day is lengthened to as much as 15 hours. Increasing winter egg production. The farm house is equipped with al­ most every known and perfected elec­ tric labor saving device.

Possibly with the promise of tiiat ' amount far next year It might be con­ cluded that the fair could proceed for another year. We think It Is a matter : that the people of Barry county ought: to consider from the standpoint of j county welfare. Can wo afford as a I ’ county to let the fair drop, and let this ’ । one remaining Institution, which brings | the people from all parts of the county j together, be given up for good? । Fairs have an educational value as well as a social value. Competition in the raising of products and livestock: ; competition by schools and Granges I in making their exhibits; the display j of livestock and farm tools—all these are of value. It does not seem right to let the fair drop. We have noticed that In Clinton coun­ ty they arc facing the same proposi­ tion: but Instead of having money on hand, us the fair association has in Burry county, they have, a .debt of $2,500. This year the premiums offered by the management of the Clinton fair had to be prorated in order to avoid an additional amount of debt. ■ It seems to us as If the future of our county fair ought to be taken up not alone by the Commercial Club of Has­ tings. but by all the farmers' organi­ zations of the county, to decide whether the fair ought to be continued or dropped. As far us we are concerned the BANNER hopes some plan may be worked out that will enable the fair to continue. The condition In which the Barry county fair finds Itself Is not the fault of the fair management. When Bec’y. Dawson took over the management, the association was heavily in debt. Tiiat debt was paid, some fine Improvements nfnde and paid for. and the association still has « comfortable cash balance on hand. It Is conceded by all who at­ tended the fair here thia year and in recent years that it Is the equal of any county fair in the state. Yet despite favorable weather, the 1928 fair was a loser, notwithstanding the fact that practically every family In the county has a car and could have come to the fair had they so desired. Buch a con­ dition and situation needs to be studied, and plans matured if possible, that will bring the old-time crowds and the old­ time enthusiasm for the fair.

He plead guilty to the charge of contributing to tiie dellnquincy of u minor child and was given a fine of $50. together with the costs In the case, and 30 days in Jail or 60 days in Jail if he failed to pay the fine. Plescoe also agreed to start proceedings at once to annul his marriage with the girl which took place in Detroit November 5. Prosecutor Sigler recommended tliat the girl be taken from the Barry Coun-. ty Detention Home and given into the custody of her father. Peeling has i datives near Middle­ ville and friends in the village. He is [ accustomed to spend a considerable , time there. He mql the girl and wanted to marry her. She consented; to this, but her parents objected on the ground tiiat she was too young to be married. Peeling then ran away with the girl with the results stated.

The 12-months' total will reach $1360326. ­ 000. This is 21 per cent more than lost year and five per cent more than in 1926. when the former high mark waa established. The movement toward building good roads Is a product of tills century. The perfection of the automobile, the growth of Industry and the social and business necessity of improved transportation arteries all contribute to the result. America In a few brief years has de­ veloped the finest highway system in the world, and every year U witnessing still greater progress. Highways and prosperity mole to­ gether.

The three brothers. Stanley, Prank and Cleo Brown, formerly lived near Prairieville. Prank was In county club work in con­ nection with the schools and both Stanley and he served in the army durIn a recent issue of the Michigan Roads and Pavements there appears the following article with reference to the work of Brown Brothers In road construction: I H»e Climax road which was inspect­ ed recently, has been accepted by the Calhoun County Road Commission Brown Brothers of Hastings were the contractors in charge of construction and the job is highly satlxfactory. It is stated. Tills road, which connects that lead­ ing west from Beckley Comers with ths Climax road directly caste of the vil­ lage of Climax, is five and one-half miles long and is said to be a part of the first rural mall route in the United States. Work was started on it early In the season and splendid progress was made. It is now one of the best graveled roads In the county and will taka care of a great deal of traffic that otherwise would go the more round­ about way. , The work of Brown Brothers on litis project has been so sat tnfactory that they have been given several other con­ tracts In Calhoun county. A road Just started by them Is that connecting the Gorsline and Stuart roads. This Is two miles in length and a very Important link In the highway system of Calhoun county. Just the ordinary grading is found necessary in its construction and the work will be completed tills fall. Contract to build three miles of road for Battle Greek township has been let to Brown Brothers. This is In the vi­ cinity of West Ooguac street and Terri­ torial road. This work is practically completed. The Battle Creek airport road is al­ so being built by Brown Brothers. This road, rovers about one and one-half miles and was graded by tbe day. II will be graveled by the yard. Upwards of 50 men are in the employ of this firm of contractors. Brown Brothers are young men from Barry county who began contracting for rood work In that county ^bout ten yean ago. Since that time they have built roads in Allegan. Barry. Kent and Calhoun counties but for the last three years have worked In Calhoun county, building roads through some of the best sections of the county. SOILS SHORT COURSE IN BARRY COUNTY M. S. 0.

The Barryvllle club has made an especially fine record In club work. Their club originated as a sheep club but has been reorganised into a live stock club and at present has a membership of ten. Sheep and calves are owned by club members. The Arctic Dairy Products Company of Hastings offered an award of five calves to club boys and girls who made the best record on a Judglng-contest of dairy cattle and an examination over i calf club work. The five boys and girls who received the awards were from the Bairyvllle club. This week the first calf was presented by the Arctic Dairy Products Company to Bernard Maurer. The other four club members who will receive calves are Lee Bell. Donald Pot­ ter. Lucille Webb nnd------ Bell. One potato club was organized at Lacey. Seven boys enrolled and seven boys completed their projects. Each boy raised 1-4 acre of potatoes. A total of 288 5 bushels of potatoes were pro­ duced by the club members. Boys of the club are exhibiting one peck of their potatoes at the South­ western Michigan Potato Show next : week. Summer 4H club projects for the I county have proven successful. With j the start which boys and girls have made they should be able to do better work another year and if enthusiasm and Interest of their first season Indi­ cates anything we may feel well assured that their work will go on and be more successful In the future. TRAGIC DEATH OF AR­ THUR JAMES THURSDAY Had Been Hl Since July and Was Despondent Over His Long Illneas Arthur James of this city, aged 58 years, whose home was on North Broadway, left his residence some time about three o'clock Thursday morning. He, had been ill. though not confined to his bed. for some time and despon­ dent over his Illness, whch made him quite hopeless, so far as recovery was concerned. He got up and left his home and that was the last seen of him until his body was found in the Thorn­ apple river at about three o'clock Thursday afternoon. Blood was found In several places in the block on which Mr. James resided by the members of the sheriff's force, who were notified of his disappearance They found his body in the afternoon In shallow water in the river at the foot of North Church street. His throat hod been cut. Coroner Frank Shef­ field was called but an inquest was not considered necessary. Mr. James had worked in various factories in this city for the past 30 years He was very highly esteemed by everyone who knew him. He had not been able to work since last July. His inability to work and discourage­ ment over prospects for recovery had no doubt unbalanced his mind. He Is survived by his widow, three daughters and five sons. The funeral was held from the home . Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Karl Keefer of Potterville. Interment in Riverside cemetery. OUR TAX PROBLEMS SERIOUS. Local governments should have one maxim uppermost in their minds— that the power to tex Is the power to destroy. Taxation, obviously. Is necessary If we are to have government. So long as taxation is used for maintaining the proper functions of government eco­ nomically with foresight. It is Justified and necessary. But when texes come to be used for other functions, and the money is spent prodigally and unwisely, govern­ ment declines; taxation becomes a sort of robbery, that takes and does not give In return. During the war we carried a tre­ mendous burden of federal texes. Conditions made this unavoidable. Where our national debt was 81.000.­ 000,000 at the start of the war it was more than 825.000,000.000 al the end. Since then the federal government has been carrying on a successful campaign for economy. It has care­ fully reduced taxes without neglecting any of Its proper functions. But from the standpoint of the tax­ payer. this economy has been dissipat­ ed His burden Is as great, and some­ times greater, than ever, for the reason that the cost of local governments, state, county nnd municipal, has been steadily Increasing over the same per­ iod of time. ■ The savings effected by the federal government have been offset by ex­ travagances of small units of govern­ ment If we are to have tex reduction, we must place local governments on a higher business plane. We must not spend money for Improvements for which we are not financially ready; we must place the power to tex In the hands of those fitted to execute their duties wisely and with economic soundness. We have no more serious problem today than that of taxation. Good taxation sneans prosperity and prog­ ress Poor taxation Is a menace to progress. TARIFF HAS ADVANTAGES. Some yearn ago the principal argu­ ment in favor of free trade was that If we protected our home market Europe would not have the money to buy from us, and our foreign market would evaporate. Then our present high tar­ iff was established and this argument wu devastated. Today our foreign trade is on a sound, profitable basis. It might still be held that If we did away with our protection, we would be able to sell more abroad. But In this theory another great weakness is ap­ parent. For. statistically, the Ameri­ can market is the largest In the world, and It absorbs more than 85 per cent of our own produce. Abolishing the tariff would mean that we surrender a market taking an overwhelming ma­ jority ot our products, to foreign, cheap labor competition, in order to take a chance on a market absorbing but 15 per cent. As a matter of fact, we can sell abroad because of our home demand that creates tremendous production. The American automobile, for exam­ ple. is sold in all parts of the world, and foreign manufacturers who produce I on a small scale, struggle to compete I with it.

Is an all-important factor in bringing pros­ perity not only to beet growers in South Dakota but in many other states as well and in preventing foreign mo­ nopollration of a necessary commodity. If the tariff were abolished, foreign sugar manufacturers could place sugar on our market at prices, which our home producers (who pay wages com­ mensurate with our standard of living* could never meet.

"WEARING OUT" Ofc "WEARING OFF." Many fanners think their soli to “wearing out" when. In reality, it to only "wearing off." says the U.S.De­ partment of Agriculture tn a recent news release pointing out the tremen­ dous loss ot plant food and valuable soil which occurs every year in the Un­ ited States. The statement declares that the plafit food washed away each year to at least twenty times as great as that taken from tiie sot] by all the crops grown. This is indeed a startling statement and one which some people may find hard to believe, but It Is en­ tirely In accord with the findings of everyone who has made a careful study of the matter. In some cases, a soil which required ten thousand years for Nature to pro­ duce to completely washed away In a single generation because man destroys or removes the means of holding this soil in place which Nature provided and falls to substitute others for them. Soils covered with natural growth of trees, grasses, or. other plants, do not erode—often they actually build up When this natural growth Is plowed under, burned off, or otherwise destroy­ ed and the land left practically bare, as In the case of a cornfield, every shower which causes a run-off takes Its toll of sol! and plant food, and this tool, as already pointed out. to a tre­ mendous one—many times grAter than that taken by the crops grown on the land. * The pity of It to that this erosion can be very largely prevented by a simple and inexpensive means. Olf most farms the so-called Mangum terrace, or some modification of it. will reduce the ero­ sion to a minimum and. at the same time, will not interfere with the cul­ tivating and harvesting of crops with ordinary machines.

Much credit is due Miss Marlon Kineh, musical director and those who awlited her. Mtes Theo Purr. MIm Bernice Greaser and Mrs Sylvia Barker. Appropriate Puritan costumes were warn by those who par­ ticipated. The girls' dresses were long and full and they were picturesque witii their white aprons, neckerchiefs and quaint white caps. High Puritan hats, stock collars, high top shoes and other old style article* ot apparel made attractive oostumes for-the boys. The scenery for the operetta was painted by the art teacher, Mr*. Sylvia Barker, and represented a beautiful woodland scene. All are familiar with the story of John Alden and Priscilla Molines. and these characters were well portrayed by Royal .Hayes and Miss Barbara Wil­ cox. respectively. Clare Steiner cap­ ably represented Mlles Btandi&h. Miss Maye Smelker made a splendid Dame Goodly, and Edward Snow was fine in Ills role of Governor Winslow. Choruses, solos, group singing and group dances, an Indian dance, and speaking parts comprised tire program. The dances were very cleverly done and the songs were splendid, showing that the young people had been well trained. • Such entertainments provide valu­ able experience for those who take part and assist in developing their dramatic ability.

It is understood that with the proposed addition that our school would be placed back on the accredited list which will do much to Increase the foreign student enrollment. Of vital Importance to the taxpayers, including the membera of the board of educatlory who not only will have to share the ejf' pense, but contribute much lime to the project, is tiie cost of such a building as above described and what it will cost cadi Individual for extra taxes. The architect has carefully estimated the cost of the completed addition at 115.­ 000. The increase in taxes necessary to retire this entire estimated cost and in­ terest within the period of eight years will average 15.07 per thousand assessed valuation over the entire period. The estimate is based on the total assessed valuation for the district for 1927. The architect. Samuel C. Allen, of Saginaw, has stated from his experience if con­ struction 1* started in the early spring It can be accomplished at a much low­ er figure than at any time since 1916. Prices are approximately now ten per cent under the same conditions a year ago at this time. This will mean a saving of approximately 11.500 to the voters of the district if they । take ad­ vantage of this bond issue at this time. The board has set Wednesday. Nov. 38, at seven o'clock to nine o'clock P. M. at the council room. Frcejxjrt. as the time at which the vote of qualified voters will be taken. It Is our opinion that the present conditions are exceedingly good for economical building and we recom­ mend and advise approval of the bond issue by the voters of school district No 9 fractionaL Irving, Bowne.

Shows Eleven Years ot Profit From One Application East Lansing. Nov. 28—That the beneficial effects of applications of Ume to sour soils continue much longer than was expected or formerly believed, has been demonstrated by experiments con- j ducted by the soils department at the i Michigan Bute College. On a field at the Casa county farm, ■ S typical of the sandy loam of south­ western Michigan, an acre of land was given an application of about three tons of limestone at a coat of *13.33. The value of the crops grown on this acre each year, since 1817 when the lime was applied, has amounted to an average of *8.0* more than the value of the same cropa grown on an adjacent acre which was not treated with lime­ stone. This soil still conUins sufficient Ume, according to the soils specialists. , A total additional profit of *90.88 has been procured from this acre of land over an eleven year period for an orig­ inal Investment of *13.33. The soils de­ partment specialists believe the results of this experiment to be a convincing . proof of the fact that the sandy loams 1 of southern Michigan respond to lime. They state further tiiat liming sour soil is probably the most economical ot the sol) treatmenu practiced at the present time. DO TOD WANT rxo« PARITY TO CONTINUE?

Buch is the text; here is the discourse: Under the Underwood tariff, the highest point of concession to the principle of protection made ■ by the Democrats up to this time, the United Blauss drifted rapidly toward lite rocks of economic distress. The record is clear. The country was saved from a sad nnd painful experience because the World war broke out and created an extraordinary commercial oendIlion of which America was the beneficiary. Under the Fordney tariff taw, en­ acted and put into force by the Re­ publicans after they returned to power, this nation is enjoying unprecedented prosperity. And it Is an Instructive circumstance that the more the out­ side world swings back to normal, the more obvious the value and benefits ot that law become. When the measure was first put on the books, even Its best well wishers were not all quite sure about some im­ portant features of IL But after years of hard test those who had the most practical experience with the general workings of its provisions are the ones who are most convinced of the essential soundness and wisdom of the 'enactment. The Fordney law as it stands is a main bulwark of national prosperity, and though there are places where It may profitably be altered and brought up to date in order to meet new con­ ditions. and though unquestionably It ought to be strengthened If agricul­ ture needs more aid wiilch a tariff taw can give, there is no desire to see it changed in any fundamental way. But in order to preserve a posses­ sion moac than a mere feeling of ap­ preciation Is necessary. And the pres­ ent Invaluable protective tariff bulwark wlU not be guarded from destruction unless those who gavs It to the country and are in sympathy with the underly­ ing principle of protection are kept In power to take care of it. ‘That statement is not a partisan plea; It Is an assertion of fact. In his speech of acceptance, Oovvernor Smith spoke approvingly of the runLnous Underwood law. Invoking it ■f an indication of the sort of - tariff legislation he and the members of his party will put on the books In case they , get into power. And the Houston con- V ventian in its platform declared direct war upon the the protective tariff sys­ tem by advocating a tariff which would turn America into an open aynpetitlve field for the pianufacturers of foreign goods made with cheap labor, and for the produce growers and stock raisers of the outside world. Senator Robinson specifically sneers at a pro­ tective tariff as a measure of agricul­ tural relief. It Is an entirely warranted assump­ tion that in case Governor Smith and hto fellow Democrats get Into power, the nation will see an early end of the invaluable protective tariff which now safeguards it. and will face the com­ mencement of a decline of national prosperity. Experiences of the United States in other leu happy days, the record of the Democratic Party when it ha* been in power, and the present utterances of Democratic leaders all support this conclusion.—Detroit Free fteaa.

( Herbert Hoover is now ensued In the fine task of promoting good will toward this country oc the part of the Latin republic* In Central and South America. There are a good many mat­ ter* that ought to be talked out, end no dmN will be presented by the Prealdent-eleot ae well aa the representative* of the South American government* whom he will meet, that will clear up possible future milunderstandings. Thiscountry has sponsored the Mon­ roe Doctrine; but the people to the south of us sometime* feel that we take the )0b of defending them from possible Invasions by European countries alto­ gether too seriously. They think their countries are not in any grave danger of being Invaded. It may be true at the preeant lime that there la not the dan­ ger that existed when President Mon­ roe announced thia doc Irina; but noth­ ing Is more certain than that moat of the South and Central American re­ publics would be European colonies had It not been for the Monroe Doctrine. But we oannot afford to assume any superiority nor to act toward these countries as if they were our wards. Tbe urgent need Is for friendship, that will be sincere and helpful. If th* world had been searched for a man who is able to give that kind of friendship in behalf of the United State*, we could not have found a better one than we have in Herbert Hoover. He la a friendly man. Euro|>can governments are watching this good will expedition of our Presi­ dent with not a little anxiety. England and Germany had. previous to the war, most of the South American trade. Since the war we have had it. But they are getting ready to fight desper­ ately to win It back. Our handicap has been that wc had not a merchant marine, so that our goods shipped to South American ports had to be sent in foreign ships They charged such rates a* they pleased and favored their own countries with lower rates, which gave European manufacturers and Jobbers an advantage over makers and whole­ salers of goods In this country. HOME EDUCATION GROWS MORE GENERAL. Home education has always been more important than most of us have realised. Many of our great men have been compelled to depend on It, notable among them being Abraham Lincoln. James A. Garfield, and Andrew John­ son. three distinguished men who rose to the Presidency of the United States. Home education is becoming more gen­ eral every year as Its facilities increase and more people unable to go to school are coming to depend on home study. Under the title ••Education Lights tiie Way." A. A. Miller has air interesting and convincing study of home education in th* current issue of the^ Watkmal Republic. In part Mr. Miller says: "Education Is a lamp whose light has made America the land of opportunity. Following that light, millions bom on American soil, and other millions from across the seas, who camo to these shores to enjoy equal opportunity, have marched together along the dark trail of hard work to th* broad, sun-splashed meadows of succes* and happiness. For America, education is equal opportun­ ity In practice; and It 1* because the lamp of knowledge bums more brightly today than ever before, that there are more opportunities to achieve succes* than at any previous period In the his­ tory of the United State*. "Opportunity to acquire knowledge without regard to class, creed, or color lias produced remarkable result* Ln America. It has taken an obscure Ohio boy without financial resources and placed him among the greatest inven­ tive geniuses of all time, until today the name of Edison 1* known to all the world. A penniless German boy. land­ ing on our shore* in his late teens, spent long, wearisome hours beneath the lamp of knowledge, and some yean later we know him a* Charles P. Steinmetz, the great electrical wizard of the General Electric Company. The light of tiiat lamp has produced great literary giants, like Emerson, and Walt Whitman, and Mark Twain; and Industrial wizards like Ford, and Rockefeller, and Schwab. From beneath it* protective glow, men like Lincoln, and Roosevelt, and Wilson have stepped out into the arena of pub­ lie affairs to lead the nation into the paths of greatness. •The United States ha* grown in wealth in proportion to her ever widen­ ing facilities tor the diffusion of educa­ tion. Today, the lamp of knowledge sheds It* light along the highways and byways all over the land. From eighty two at the dawn of th* nineteenth cen­ tury, the number of day* the average American goes to school has Increased to 1.400. Within recent year*, the in­ creasing industrialization of our coun­ try has mad* specialized training an essential qualification for success in many lines of endeavor. Abundant op­ portunities to achieve success were made possible to those who extended their education beyond the schoolhouse and carried it over into everyday life tn office, factory and mine. These new poasibUltles are being' realized today by directed home study, conducted under the direction at the modem corres­ pondence school?' FARM PRICES HIGHERFarmers of this country an receiving appreciably higher average prices for product* this year than last, according to the Department of Agriculture. The mo*t pronounced gain is In cot­ ton which shows a 35 per cent increase in ■ year. Beef cattle are bringing » per cent more than In 1K7. and hogs 13 per cent. Grain, com and poultry are also Up, from two to 31 per cent., A tew products, Including wlicitf, arc to *omc degree below last year'* prices.

VENTILATION HELPS I, PREVENT HOG FLU.' I Flu and other respiratory diseases of I hog* during winter month*, have be-|: come more serious than cholera in' many localities, finds the research de- ' partment of the National Association of Farm Equipment Manufacturers. ‘ Deaths are only occasional in flu-strick­ en herds but losses in weight of fat- । tenlng shoals are serious and costly and the Utters of affected brood sows , are Ukely to be weak or even dead at birth. Veterinarian* advise farmers to avoid overcrowding in the hog house, to keep the building dry and well bedded and to provide ventilation without draft*. Cold, drafty floors, they say, are es­ pecially bad for swine. Draft* In the building, espcclaUy along the floor, cause hogs to pile up and become hot. weakening their resistance to disease germs.

At the convention of the governors who would otherwise be out of a Job, on I public works at good pAy and with reasonable hours. One can well believe that the expen­ diture of even one of the three billions of dollars suggested In any given year would not only take care of the em­ ployment of all who might be Idle, but would also put Into circulation enough fresh money that would start the wheels of Industry again and result in a great expansion In other lines ot work, so that the continuance of such public works would no longer be re­ quired. but could be pul off until the next season of unemployment might make it necessary for a resumption of that kind of work. A - good engineer like Mr. Hoover would naturally insist upon the finishing up of any particu­ lar kind of public work which had been begun by a city, a state or the nation, before work would cease upon it. The improvement of the Mississippi river so as to prevent floods and make it navigable from Its mouth to at least St. Louis and probably farther north, the building of a great waterway from the lakes through the St. Lawrence river to the Atlantic ocean, would mean the expenditure of at least a billion and a half dollars by the federal gov­ ernment. Such great public works would be most helpful to this country, especially to the farmers. In reducing freight rates and making it less costly to export our surplus products. One might possibly think that making the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence waterways do the carrying ot the grain and other products to foreign markets Double Service!

What would the railroads do right now if there had tribution by means of auto trucks, which now carry almost as much ton­ nage as the railroads? The growth of this country in population and Indus­ tries will, unless some such means as the two waterways mentioned shall be i provided, literally swamp the railroads with traffic. They could not carry It.j Instead ot harming the railroads these 1 waterways would relieve them of excess | burden and would help the public. Thus it can be seen that our presl-1 dent elect is planning for a splendid! future for this country and planning' progress toward his Ideal of abolishing poverty In our land. He is using his ■ ability as an engineer and. as an organ­ izer to plan things that will be of great. material advantage to America, which will not harm any existing Industry or means of transportation. President­ elect Hoover realizes that an Increasing j wage scale means a far better home market for the products of American . farms and Industries, as well as the betterment of the laboring man nnd his family. SEARCHING FOR APPRAISER. Lansing. Nov. 28—The. department of conservation is searching the field for a competent man who will be com­ missioned to appraise the Michigan gas and oil properties for tax proposes. Someone whose standing in business is unquestioned will be secured for the Important work. This is the first time that the state will have realized any great amount of taxes from such prop­ erties. Michigan had a similar experience many years ago when iron and copper mines came to the front as a leading Industry. President-elect Herbert Hoover originated a plan for apprais­ ing these properties and J. R. Findlay, a famous man in the Industry, applied it to Michigan's problems. Ever since that time the plan has come to be known as the Michigan Method and it as been used almost universally.

More than a hundred organisations In the country have been fighting tooth and nail for restriction of the hideous billboard nuisance, and at last it would seem that their efforts are to be crown­ ed with success. They have managed to obtain the endorsement of over 240 national advertisers and agencies, who have agreed hereafter to restrict their signs to commercial districts, where they properly belong. This is a gregt, public service. It needs no argument’ to demonstrate tbe Increase of offensive signs. Under the stress of competition, advertisers and advertising agencies have proclaimed their wares In tones so strident that the whole countryside shrieks with them. There is scarcely a bit of woodland or pasture bordering any main highroad or railroad in the United State* that is not disfigured by billboards. It would almost seem that the lovelier spot, the more Inevitable the advertisement Many tourists now refuse to buy com­ modities thus offensively thrust at them. The advertisers who iiave now agreed to withdraw their signboards from the countryside have shown good business sense. The public will be disposed to patronize concerns that manifest some consideration for public rights. The re­ moval of billboards from forest and meadow will cause a sigh of relief from all who appreciate the beauty of nature. The thanks ot the country are due to the General Federation of Women's Clubs and other organizations that have worked to bring advertisers toirealize that they were Injuring their own business by hogging the scenery. —Washington Post.

Thanksgiving, is upon us when thrift seems particularly an ap­ propriate subject for discussion. Sue- Nothing could more clearly indicate troubles than the present meager price of potatoes We all recall how there was u scarcity a year ago and prices were comparatively high. At least they yielded a good profit to those who were fortunate enough to have good crops of them. As a result of the large profits mahy more people were tempted to get into the game. Those who had been in doubled their acreages, with the result that this year there is a sur­ feit of potatoes on the market and they can hardly be given away. The difficulty Is twofold: In the first place if there should be some over­ sight by means of which potato grow­ ers could be told about how much acreage to plant instead ot everybody rushing In without any restrictions. That would materially aid the situa­ tion. •• In the next place, speculators rush in and buy up great quantities at the cheap price now ruling and will hold them for better prices, which they know will come in the spring, so they let the fanner feed up the surplus or not laid the foundation of thrift in the beginning of their careers.

Tremendous advancement has taken place In this country since the days of our first Thanksgiving day. The most common-place comfort which is ours now would have seemed truly mirac­ ulous in those early days. But the fundamentals of life have not changed and the need of thrift is just as great in this country today as It was In those bleak winters 300 years ago. They had to practice thrift because every re.source was limited. They faced starvation, cold, attacks from the In­ dians and countless other dangers. They were able to make progress only through the most rigid privations. Sacrifice was their watchword. Amid the luxuries and comforts of modem life, an equal amount of thrift WE8T HOPE.

Nov. 28—An incentive to Michigan milk producers to offer a bet­ ter product to the state, will be incor­ porated in proposed legislative changes in lhe Michigan dairy laws that will be presented at the 1929 session of the leg­ islature. Changes in the present laws are being drawn up by T. H. Brough­ ton. director bureau of dairying, state department of agriculture. Broughton will present lhe measure to the Michigan Milk Producers' As­ sociation and the organization is ex­ pected' to sponsor the legislation. The law would propose a grade "A” milk with regulations demanding a 15 to 30 per cent better product than or­ dinary milk. Under present laws grade "A” milk is not defined. Broughton pointed out, and therefore any milk may be offered as grade "A". Under the proposal the top product, which would bring a higher price than ordin­ arymilk, would have to meet consider­ ably higher requirements including a 3 1-2 or 3 1-4 butterfat content and the producers would have to meet higher requirements than producers of ordin­ ary milk. Another section of the law would re­ quire that unpasteurised milk be sold before It Is 36 hours old. The same sec­ tion would require that pasteurised milk be sold within 48 hours. First deposit 2c, increasing 2c each week, for 50 weeks, last deposit $1.00. PLAN C—Secures $63.75 or physically unfit motorists, and make licensing sometiil^g more than a farce, seems on the cards for the coming ses­ sion of the state legislature. Com­ missioner Oscar O. Olander of the state department of public safety has recom­ mended a new taw with prescribed mental and physical tests for driver* and permitting permanent revocation of lhe licenses of the unfit. The Detroit Automobile Club and other representa­ tive organizations are pushing the movement and draft measures are in preparation in the secretary of state's office and by Representative-elect Charles J. Deland, former secretary of state. A conference at which the automobiling interests of the state, local traffic authorities, the state police and the secretary of state's department are represented to co-operate in drafting a of the state is expected. The conference could take as a basis for its deliber­ ations the uniform driver's license code drafted by lhe Hoover traffic confer­ ence for the whole United States, but this may. require modification in some respects to adapt It to. Michigan con­ ditions. The law should provide for perma­ nent revocation in place of suspension of licenses when the nature of the case calls for the severer penalty—some­ thing lacking in the present Michigan taw.

Later on, in another week or two, we can't. If you act now—you will have two things to be thankful for. You will own a new Super-Six, the six that leads all others in popularity, in volume of sales. And you will have bought it at a real bargain. leadership in quality has for years given Hudson-Essex outstanding public favor. And the growing volume has permined economies passed on to buyers in price, hr below any rival. There can be no proof so convincing u the praise bestowed by Hudson-Essex owners, and the fact that these care con­ tinue, as for years, the outstanding sales success of tnotordotn.

S X” Constantly we are finding new and better ways of doing things HE new Ford was a good car when it was first intro­ duced. It is a better car today. Constantly we are finding new and better ways of doing things. Cease­ lessly, untiringly, our engineers are', working for the im­ provement of the car. Every new idea that seems to prom­ ise advancement is studied and tested in every conceivable way. T Not only in the laboratory, but out on the foad in actual running. As soon as we are sure of its value we put it into the car. 4 The result is an automobile that is always new. There is no such thing as saving improvements for a yearly model designed to speed up sales or capture a passing fancy. Quick, Easy, Inexpensive INSULATION IMPLY pour TbermofiH dry—just as it comes from the bag—between your attic floor joists, as shown above, and get real cemfort, summer and winter. S This modern insulating "blanket” saves 60% of the heat lost through the roof. The fuel saving alone will quickly pay for tt, ° New homes can have Thermofill poured between in­ ner and outer walls as well as in the attic, giving com­ plete Thermofill insulation. Made by the Unitea States Gypsum Company—so you know it will do what we say. No matter when you buy a new Ford—in January, May, August or December—you know that it embodies every latest development that has proved sound and good. You know more than this. You know that in design, materials and workmanship it is the best car that can pos­ sibly be made at a low price. The deciding thought be­ hind every move is not sales or profits— but “What will give the most service to the public?” • Our whole effort is toward simplicity—to give you complete, well-rounded performance with the least amount of machinery and without sacrificing quality any­ where along the line. You cannot make a complicated car at a low price without cutting corners somewhere. The new Ford is a truly great car because it brings you a proved, sensible balance of every essential feature of an automobile. No one part has been over-developed at the expense of another. You get remarkable acceleration and smoothness at all speeds. You get speed of 55 to 65 miles an hour. You get uncommon power and hill-climbing ease. You get relia­ bility and economy of operation that will save you many dollars in the up-keep of your car. You get more than this ... a fully enclosed, silent sixbrake system—four Houdaille hydraulic shock absorbers —Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield—the full and immediate advantage of many improvements developed exclusively by the Ford Motor Company. Arrange now to see the new Ford and know the thrill of driving it. Judge it not only on acceleration, power and speed, but also on safety, comfort, ease of control, relia­ bility. economy—on its long life and the security of its trade-in value. You will know then that today, more truly than ever before, there is nothing quite like the New Ford in design, quality and price. The low cost will surely surprise you.

LETTER to the Fathers and Mothers in This Community w:i MERICAN industry is the marvel of the world. Twenty-five pears ago business was done in terms of thousands. Today it is done in terms of millions. We have had the imagination, the initiative, and the courage in a century and a half to convert a wilderness into a nation of wealth, power and influence. A NEW ERA IN COLLEGE EDUCATION In no field ol human endeavor is there such urgent need for efficient methods as in presentday college training as a preparation for busi­ ness careers. t 000.00 a year were earned by men in business and had it not been for the big salaries earned in business, the average earnings of the class would have been below $3,000.00 a year. “Men and women who are trained for business should be required to acquire business habits, use business tools, and l^arn to plan their work effectively. They If the predictions of those who are in a posi­ tion to know are verified, business will need within the next four or five years from 200,­ 000 to 500,000 more young men and young women who are trained to assume positions of responsibility, than will be available. f rom the view point of the efficiency engi­ neer, striving to eliminiate waste, increase pro­ duction, conserve time, and reduce cost m in­ dustry, this school has, as a result of years of study, tests and research work, made, for the benefit of the youth of this community, profit­ able and far-reaching innovations in the de­ velopment of college-grade courses of study specifically designed for the training of young men and young’ women for accounting, busi­ ness administration, and secretarial positions. must have energy, initiative, vision, and the ability to make decisions quickly. To interest them along these lines, an inten­ sive course is necessary and one longer than two years calls for too much time to devote to this purpose. Leadership in bus­ iness depends not on having a mass of in­ formation, but in being able to organize, plan and direct.” Business offers seventy chances for achieve­ ment to one chance in every other profession or trade. Statistics prove that seventy per cent of the graduates of law, medical, and techni­ cal colleges fail because the professions of law and medicine are overcrowded. The same is true of engineering of every sort, chemical, electrical, mechanical, mining, civi(. Only a few make any notable financial success. 1 here is one profession, however, that offers to your sons and daughters an opportunity to secure not only social recognition, to serve so­ ciety, and to become real factors in the com­ r munity in which they live, but also to amass wealth. I he.profession ol business (and busi­ ness is a real profession) offers all of these and more. According to the latest available figures, everyone of the twenty-one men in the United States who reported to the Internal Revenue Department annual incomes of one million dollars or more, was a business man. There was not a tradesman or professional man in the lot. I hese twenty-one men are only the “topnotchers ol thousands \yho are getting from $25,000 to $1,000,000 a year. A survey ol the I 9] 6 graduating class of a great university develops some interesting in­ formation. 1 he members of that class earned, on an average, in I 927. $5,200.00 a year. The .lowest salary .was-$ 1.720.00: the. highest sal­ ary was $40.00(1.00. All salaries above $5.- It is the plan of .this school to so combine the instructions given with laboratory work that the student not only develops expert ability — “skill” in performing the tasks before him but he has such a sound training in economics, law. business administration, and other sub­ jects, that he has developed a breadth of vision^ and soundness of judgment — a judgment, a’ vision, and an ability that make for culture and leadership; a broad general education, that means finer and more successful citizenship later in life. In this balance between cultural and utility values, Argubright’s School offers what is be­ lieved to be the nearest approach to the ideal yet attained in Business Administration, Ac­ counting. and Secretarial Science Courses of full College Grade. Roger W. Babson, recognized as America’s greatest statistician and business advisor, re­ cently njade this significant statement: Prominent employers say they want welleducated men and women in their organiza­ tions. BUT they find that the graduates of the traditiou^l-type colleges have a marked in­ ability to organize their time and they form habits undesirable in business. 1 hey are de­ manding college trained men and women who have ability, plus personality, leadership qual­ ities, magnetism and a vision of the bigger, broader things of life. Argubright’s School is meeting the demand by developing men and women who can not only think, but who can organize and work with effectiveness. 1 hey’re trained to handle the tools of business, and rather than listen to mere lectures, they are taught to solve the every-day problems with accuracy and speed, which is the only certain way to develop the ability, personality, and character, demanded in business. In selecting a course of study for your sons and your daughters, it should be remembered that classical education, valuable as it is, was planned centuries ago, largely for the cultured, titled and leisure classes. I shall be happy to talk with any parents who may be planning the futures of their sons and daughters. My more than thirty years’ ex­ perience in training, developing, and directing more than seven thousand young people, in placing them in responsible business positions and watching them grow to prominent execu­ tive places in the communities where they live, have given me some information and taught me a few things that may be helpful to you in directing your boys and your girls in the way that they should go to find the greatest oppor­ tunities for ’service to society, for acquiring wealth, and for being happy. J/' pou wish to come to nip office, I will be happp to plan with pou, and if it should happen that pou entrust pour son or daughter to nip rare. 1 pledge pou every possible effort on nip part to do for pour son or daughter just what I should want done for a son or daughter of my own. Please keep in mind always that the greatest joy in nip life conies from seeing young people grow from beginning positions to great places in the world of business- Argubright’s School MICHIGAN business AND NORMAL COLLEGE Effective 1 there will b< schedules of ger trains oi slon.

It is to lighten this load that Dean Daven­ port has been asked to return for a time during the heavy season. The Davenports will be at home again In the early summer. The call for the dean at this time Is an evidence cf (he fine work he did during the more than 30 years that he was the dean of the college of agriculture of Illinois University and vice president of the fine institution.

Holden of Chicago, extension spec­ ialist of the International Harvester Company, who has a worldwide reputa­ tion for his great achievements in agri­ culture. About 250 were present to hear his talk that went straight to the heqft of the matter. Because most of those present were younger folks, he addressed his talk largely to them. He declared that human beings are the greatest things in the world. For them food, clothing and shelter are in­ dispensable; and that means agricul­ ture. from which most of these neces­ saries must be dcrvled He said that while agriculture had been depressed it was inevitable that the "stone which the builders rejected shall become the head of the comer.” and agriculture will come into Ito own. Looking into the fares of the boys arffi girls in front of him he said: “The great question U. how to make great folks of the boys and girls of today. I| can be dope in only one way, and that is by education. To this education the home, school, church and all social groups must contribute." . He said that "any civilization can be measured by its use of labor-saving machinery. Since 1890 there have been . five times as many inventions for sav­ ing labor as were mode in all time previous to that year." He told one of the most humor, of starieg about his old school days and especially about one teacher who had that rare gift of not only teaching what was in the books, but also of arousing the keen interest of all his pupils in life and work in life. He Inspired them to put forth their best efforts, to make something of themselves that would be worth while. Here is one of the things that this (Continued on page throe) A NICE CHRISTMAS GIFT.

This read would have many advantages, and would give an outlet to a fine territory. Il would make a short cut for many peo­ ple. giving a close connection with the Lacey road which leads to Battle Creek. It would connect at the Scott corners with trunk line 79. It would connect also with, the State road, which is a county road in Hastings township; al­ so on the Hastings-Carlton town line it would connect with the new M-43 trunk line; and at the Friend school house would connect with the Carlton Center-Woodland county highway. There are many and good reasons why this road should be built. We hope the supervisors and the county road commissioners will see their way to recommend its early construction.

IL NOTICE—LADY MACCABEES- SUGGESTION FROM POSTAL DEPT. The attention of the postmaster? and the public is directed to Ute fact that, in January every year, the dead letter office of the post office department re­ ceives between three and four million of ordinary undeliverable letters. This enormous increase of undeliverable matter is due, of course, primarily to Incorrect addresses. But this would still be preventable, In spite of Incorrect ad­ dresses. If the patrons of the service could be made to undentend that they should place their own return address­ es on the envelopes, contrary to the widespread custom of mailing greeting cards tn non-card envelopes. The low sustained every year by the mailing public amounts to not lesa than $325.­ 000 in cash outlay, not to mention dis­ appointment of hundreds of thousands of persons who fall to receive their an­ ticipated greetings. H patrons of the malls could be per­ suaded to write their return address on the covers of these Utters, not only they but the post office service would be saved much trouble and annoyance. OBITUARY.

The Monument Works, being almost at the extreme end of the north aide of State street, the proprietors felt, that perhaps Window Night viewers might miss their display so they dressed a man up In special uniform to parade along the street and call attention to their window display.

There fol­ lowed such a heart-to-heart talk as had never been known in that home before. The father explained that he had come to Northern Michigan with the one purpose of getting ahead so he could send his boys to college and give them the educational advantages he felt they ought to have. He said that was why he was calling upon them to work "Now," he said, “we have not worked together to good purpose before, and I presume It is my fault; but from this time on. every Monday morning we shall get together and plan OUR work ■ for the week.” We wish every boy and every parent could have heard Mr. Holden's descrip­ tion of the effect this statement which made the boys pampers with their fa­ ther had upon him. and how enthusias­ tically three boys went at their won* from that time on.

Settlements have been made with some of the foreign governments for amounts which were advanced to them by the United States during the war under the Wilson* administration. There is still one large amount to ad­ just and that is what France owes us. But the failure to settle that has been the fault of France and not of the ad­ ministration. Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Mellon have brought the matter to the attention of the French government several times without result. With reference to action by the present congress, which is holding its final session, the President recom­ mends: First, that a farm relief meas­ ure be passed that will go as far as is consistent to aid farmers in disposing of their surplus products to the best possible advantage. He also recom­ mends that the proposed Boulder dam on the Colorado river be thoroughly investigated and if passible completed within reasonable time; but tliat the government shall not enter into the manufacture and sale of electric cur­ rent that may be produced at such dam. as experience has proven that it can be better done by private initia­ tive. Notwithstanding the big cut made tn the revenues at the last session of congress. President Coolidge still be­ lieves there will be. owing to the pros­ perous condition of the country, a small surplus In July. But he does not favor congress making any commit­ ments at this session which will cut down that surplus. He does recommend, however, a care­ ful study of what congress may do to­ ward improving the waterways of this country, thus reducing the costs of marketing farm products as well as other products. The actual working out of such wat­ erways will naturally fall to his suc­ cessor. Herbert Hoover, whose great engineering accomplishments and abili­ ty peculiarly qualify him to form the plans for such great enterprises as making the Mississippi a real water­ way for the middle west and the St. Lawrence a lakes-to-ocean route for American commerce. It must be admitted by everybody that President Coolidge was the ideal man to succeed Harding. For the sit­ uation then existing he was fitted thoroughly because of his New England thrift and conscience and his ability to sec where economies could be effected. He lias been the means, with the fine cooperation of Secretary Mellon, of planning the finances of our govern­ ment in such a cajMble manner that there has been a constant slicing of the public debt and careful handling ol Hie government finances. His prudence and care in watching all expenditures have saved many hundreds of millions to the country and he has given this nation an “ honest. -------capable adminhitration of public affairs.

Mr. Dillman't home, the following article concerning him: "Ever since it became known several weeks ago that Frank F. Fogers. veter­ an State Highway Commissioner was entertaining the Idea of retiring from the position he has held with much signal success and honor for the past fifteen or more years. Bangor friends have felt confidently that his successor should be none other than our Grover C. Dillman, who has risen from the ranks of field man to the ptace of sec­ ond Importance in the department, through sheer ability and merit which have been recognized and rewarded without recourse to political or other "pull" of any kind! "Grover, as he is known to us. is a Bangor boy. of whom we are all proud Bom on a farm west of the village, he attended and graduated from the local high school with highest honors. Con­ tinuing his studies at Michigan State College, then the familiar "M. A. C.“ of farmer days, he rapidly advanced in his chosen profession and has continued to rise, as noted in the paragraph above. What could be more logical than the final promotion which now seems to be coming his way? "Having known Mr. Dillman for the post 20 years, the writer feels at liber* ty to comment on one personal charac­ teristic which he believes is fundamen­ tal In this young man's job." Ono inci­ dent in our experience proves this and we believe It to have been adopted by him when still a boy in high school. As he b one of “our boys" we are going to tell it here in order to prove the point In our statement of hla being "always on the job." "When Grover graduated from Ban­ gor high school in 1906. he held the distinction of having attended school for four years, without being absent nor tardy for a single day or sesaionl When it is remembered that he lived more than three miles from school, and nt a time when no automobiles were at hand to provide easy and quick trans­ portation. his record becomes all the more unique. I distinctly recall a ter­ rible snow storm one winter night and the following morning, when village streets and country roads were drifted waist-high or more and no sessions of school were held that day. When Bupt Root and I had battled the drifts a few short blocks to the school house. Gro­ ver was there ahead of us and he was the only high school student on hand at the opening time for school that morning! A man who as a boy. de­ veloped this sort of personal program just naturally cannot be denied a place In the front rank of the business world, and those of us who know Grover best ate certain that his selection to fill the place made vacant by the resignation or retirement of Mr. Rogers will be one which will mean much to Michigan highway matters in the years to come."

USE CAUTION IN CLEANING RABBITS. Lansing. Dec Id-White spots found on the liver of a rabbit does not neces­ sarily mean that the animal 1* a victim of tularemia. This statement has been made by experts in the state depart­ ments who have been investigating the disease for several month*. It is pos­ sible for other, disease* lo produce white spot* on a rabbit's liver. Coccidlosis or tuberculosis may produce such markings and it is possible to classify them without expert examination. While no positive cases of tularemia had been uncovered to date, it is the general belief that the disease probably does exist in some of the Michigan rab­ bit*. One or two specimens that have been placed under scrutiny developed suspicious reactions but no one has come forward to say that the infection was definitely established as the dread­ ed tular+mla. Two Hungarian partridge and a ruf­ fed grouse that were believed to have been victims of tularemia were found to be suffering from other disorders so that the rumor that tularemia might spread lo other branches of wild ani­ mal and bird life has not been founded on fact as yet. Gaine experts are urging, however, that sportsmen use caution in cleaning and handling rabbit* or other game that show symptoms of disease. In other states tularemia has been com­ municated to humans through careless handling. The disease is said to have spread among humans in Ohio, one city reporting nearly 60 caves. A WINTER RIDE.

Last night the republicans of this dty made use of illuminations to celebrate the great republican victory so magnifi­ cently won. Although but short notice had been given yet the illuminations were quite general over the entire dty and many others would have taken part had they been able to get the necessary articles. Most of the latter, however, had their house* entirely lighted up. So many excellent ideas were presented and so much taste displayed in the il­ luminations tliat it would be impossible to describe them all. In the first ward the illuminations that were especially fine were those of Michael Custer. John Burroughs. R. K. Grant and Henry Bailey. In the second ward they were those of C. W. Jordan and Clement Smith; while those of A. D. Cook. W. H. Schantz and E. W. Jordan were very good. In the third ward Dr. A. P. Drake had spent much pains and time to arrange hls house and grounds and the result was a decidedly pretty effect. Other very good ones were those of C. H. VanArman and E. A. Rider. D. Striker. J. Russell. Walter Wilkins and Dr. Puller. In the fourth ward there were many fine illuminations, particu­ larly ao were Uiose of Dr. H A. Barber, Chas. Huffman and P. T. Colgrove. oth­ er excellent ones being those of W. H. Powers, D. R Cook. Mn. John Hotch­ kiss. J. VanArman. C. Messer. Dr. E. H. Lathrop and J. P.

It is best to buy your supply already shelled, for they are difficult to re­ move. I’eunuts bought for home use should be raw. To blanch your holi­ day nuts, place them In a pan and pour bo|llng water over them, allow­ ing them to remain In It for two min­ ute*. Then the water Is drained away and cold water Is run over them until they nre cool. The skins should then slip off readily. When they nre re­ moved the nut* should lie dried with a towel.

For browning on top of the stove a tablespoonful of fat oil Is allowed to each cup of nuts. Tliey are distributed evenly ever the surface of tha pan and fried with, constant stirring until they are tlie right color.

Mr. Berger does not object to the ac­ tual buying of commodities or stocks on boards of trade or in Wall street. What he does object to is the dealing tn margins, where a person does not buy the actual commodity or sjock. but simply makes a bet in which he stands to gain or lose much more titan by actual pur­ chases, by speculating on margins. For instance, the price of wheat may be on the Chicago Board of Trade S1.15 a bushel.. A man who thinks he knows that the price is going to be higher, and has a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars ready may. instead of buying the actual grain at the prevailIng price and holding it for a rise, in­ stead buy margins. That is. instead of buying 1.000 bushels at 81.15 a bushel, which would be a legitimate transac­ tion. he buys 11500 bushels on a mar­ gin of 10c a bushel. If the price drops below the 10c he loses all he has put into it.. If it goes above 81.15. In­ stead of making a profit on « thousand bushels he will make it on 11.500 bushels, and of course reap a greater profit. The suckers who do this put their money into the other fellow's game. They are almost certain to lose in the end. because they do not understand th- game.' After enough of them get in. the real manipulators, who control the prices on stock and grain ex­ changes. force the price down and make them lose, when there, are enough suckers who have made that kind of bets to make it worth their while. Il is this sort of thing that is hurtful to the country, not the actual buying of stocks or commodities. We believe Mr. Berger is entirely right in asking that a law be passed that will prohibit the purchase of stocks or commodities on margins. vrntory and start their accounts with the beginning of the new year. Farmers may secure the account book cither from their county agricul­ tural agents or direct from the farm management department at the college. The books will be distributed at coat, 20 cents each.

Nature authorities the throat, it U urged, and there Is no America. But recent events have given the lie to unpatriotic statements of this kind to look no.furthcr than our two loading candidates for Preaident ot the United States to sc> that the boy who started life tn humble surroundings has the op­ portunity to strive for the highest hon­ or which the United States can bestow on one of Its dtlzens. Herbert Hoover. bom in an humble Iowa home, and Governor Smith, who got his start in the poorer section of New York City, are now occupying the limelight not only In the United State.! but in Europe as well, for Europe, too. is generally interested in our presidential cam­ paigns. But there bi still another example which ought not to be lost sight of while on the subject and in mentioning it one can well Quote from the Wor cester Telegram, which stated recently: "Frank B. Kellogg was bom the son of a plain farmer. He Jived in a log cabin. The only formal education he ever received waa that obtainable ’n u one-room country grade school. He worked in a stable while he read law In the office of a small town attorney. He was and la frail of bodv. "Recently Frank B. Kellogg sat with greater than kings while they attached their signatures to an instrument ------------------of Ids fashioning which goes far toward tak­ ing th/world-old curse of war out oi the world This seemingly practical age is in reality an age of wildly extravagant ro­ mance. Its slight farm boy may be reckoned by an age to come as the greatest Individual facto.* In the mak­ ing oi a miracle. Kellogg is the author of a docu­ ment which has been for tome time oc­ cupying the attention of the world's leading diplomats. It la a document -Which has been hailed on all rides as another milestone along the path to world peace. The Kellogg treaty is an­ other monument rigniflying the desire of all good Americans that war be made Improbable as Is possible un­ der present world conditions. Hoover. Spilth and Kellogg therefore furnish three examples of the oppor1 tunlly of the humble American youth. In our schools, on our farms and in our factories today are lhe boys who In the next three or four decades will assume the leadership in American affairs. That their leadership will be wise and patriotic can be predicted from the conduct of their fathers in a similar capacity. America still holds forth a golden opportunity for her youth, and in spite of the pessimists we still have youth with the courage and lhe high mindedness to take proper advantage ot the Opportunity.

Dr. Van der Slice cays: “For the age group from 15 to |9, w* find that, while the number of mgle deaths from tuberculosis ha* remained practically stationary, the number foe women ha* shown sharp annual in­ creases In 1924. 161 women in thto age group died from this disease. In the following three year* the female death* rose to 178. then to IM, and finally. In 1927. they mounted to 207. For men of thto group, the 1927 death total. 102, represents an Increase of only three over the 1924 figure. Last year tuberculosis therefore caused twice as many deaths among young women as among young men. "Any one of the suggestions that have been made to explain these statis­ tics. such as insufficient clothing, faulty diet, a too strenuous life, or the en­ trance of women into industry, may bu correct, but scientific confirmation In most cases is entirely lacking. Th* sit­ uation indicates, however, that our fu­ ture anti-tuberculoeis work must be directed especially at the prevention ot this disease in young women.

Those who suffer from neuritis will find much to cheer them tn the state­ ment of Mrs. Christine Susewilz. 5732 Bostwick street. Detroit. She writes: “A year ago I had kidney trouble and then came neuritis. Pains in my shoulders and arms were so acute that I cried out in agony. I could not sleep, and X grew weak and lUtless. My kid­ neys got me up many limes-al night; terrible headaches nearly drove me frantic, and finally I was forced lo take to my bed. There I remained a month. Not a thing gave me even temporary relief. I was discouraged and heartsick. Then—and how I thank that day—I heard of Konjola, and started the treatment. Now get this—in exactly two weeks my kidneys were corrected and the neuritis had left me. Four days after starting on Konjola I was able to leave my bed. Does this seem possible? Isn't it won­ derful that there is such a medicine? I wish I knew words enough to express my amassment and gratitude for this astounding medicine. Konjola is. in­ deed caned rightly the master medi­ cine." Konjola Is sold Ln Hastings at the Rexall store, and by all the best drug­ gists throughout this entire section.— Adv.

It■ was this truth which Jesus came to ! emphasize. He went up and down I Palestine saying, 'Suffer little children to come unto me. for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.' You hear Him say.

At the end of 1926. 227.000 farms were supplied with electric service as com­ pared with 122.000 In 1923. During 1927. an additional 21.127 farms were connected Outstanding progress is being made thto year. We are gradually approaching a time when practically al! farms, throughout the entire nation, will have electric service available. Such exhaustive project* u the Red Wing. Minnesota, esperlmentai line have , shown, by practical gxample, what the farmer may expect of widespread use of power. Few modem farmers any longer hive any doubts as to the benefit and suecess of rural* electrification. The innovation of ruaal electric service department* by a number of large utilities, hu forwarded the work. The fanner to given expert advice on the PRISCILLA was making pumpkin pie*. Tha fruit caka bad been ' ripened and tbe turkey lay In festive state, stuffed with sage and onion. Al­ though It wa* really a chicken, one didn't mention that, no more than oo* ' mentioned the fact that daddy wa* Santa Clam, or that the little black stocking* which hung before lhe hearth Ore would not be very fall. There was only one blot In Prisclli la’s Christmas Joy. "I can’t give PhilUp anything.” she said to her mother, worriedly. ”11 isn't a* if be were a youngster and satisfied with red-yarn knitted mittens, or as if he were a poor boy, even, but when he sends me orchids, mother, I—I don't know what to do.” Phillip waa the young mon | from tbe city who bad been exceedingi ly attentive to Priscilla. Flower* he sent, and fruit* and dainty candles, but not tbe simple, homely kind to which she had been accustomed. Il was not this air of richness though that made Priscilla'* heart btat quick and tbrilly. It was the simple, boy­ ish way of him. Dear? Yea, ahe had Just admitted it to herself. And now he waa coming to Christ­ mas dinner with her and her happy, - bumble family and Priscilla in her unworldllne**, felt that she had no gift for him. Her mother, though, waa wiser. Rhe looked with a tender, wist­ ful pride at her fair young daughter, the daughter with soft eye* shining, with hair curled gayly in the steam of Hie fragrant | kitchen, with rose-petal • cheeks, blushed warm by young love and by Christmas. She finished her cooking and set the long white table where tbe hearth fire glowed nnd the Christmas tree waa featlre with red and tinsel. Then Phillip bad come and the din­ ner was progressing, fluffy potatoes and gravy all brown, the roasted tur­ key which was a chicken, really, the old fruit cake and. Inst of all, the spicy pumpkin pie. The mother watched and smiled, but her eye* were moist a little, for every bit of food Priscilla served was as a gift If I only Phil could know. But no one could explain |o Phil. most advantageous ways lo use power and is shown advanced electrical equip­ ment. These departments are rapidly wiving the difficulties caused by farm­ ers who did not understand correct and scientific usage. Electricity is not only helping to solve the farm problem, which is said to have caused serious agricultural de­ pression In some localities, but it is providing a new economy, efficiency and comfort of farm operation. Un­ less all signs fall, it is instituting a new and more prosperous agricultural , gantly praised, the rich boy from the city seemed comfortably at home. He and Priscilla took a walk through the crisp, snowy Christmas starlight and ■till she could not tell him that she had no gift for him. Back to Hie front •teps they came, then out of the shad­ ows Buddle Jumped nnd ran into the bouse. Phillip saw the mistletoe first and suddenly there was no need for explanations. Tbe stars and the snowflakes saw him take tbe aweeteat gift of all.—Maxine Chapman. Many hens in farm flock* are like 'women—no one know* their age. Of­ 1ten they are kept in the flock tong af­ 1ter they are profitable. Culling of old 1hen$ is advised by U. 8. Department of Agriculture poultry specialists, par­ ■ ticularly in the Corn Belt, where the 'tendency is to keep poultry too long for All pullet* Igood egg production. ।should be marked in lhe fall and a , irecord kept of their age. Boiling water or hot cloths are ef­ fective treatment* lor frozen water pipe*. Always thaw pipes toward the supply, opening a faucet to show when the flow start*, advise* the U. 8. De­ partment of Agriculture. Never thaw the middle of a frozen pipe first, be­ 'cause expansion of the water confined by ice on both side* may burst the pipe. PREVENT HOLIDAY FIR EH- This to tlfe happiest season of the year, especially for children, but fires often bring suffering and death, creating a roaring furnace ot flame* where but a short time before had been a Joyops home. Yet simple precautions will prevent holiday Area: When using a candle in your window, be sure it to an electric one. properly Wired, a* they are generally Ufa. it up securely ao it cannot topple over. Don't place it near heating or lighting fixture*. For trimming the tree use only noncombustibie material* such aa meta) tinsel, flake asbestos and powdered mica for snow effect*. For illuminating the tree, lighted candle* should never be used. Proper­ ly installed electric light* are safer and give a colorful effect, but safest of all Is a colored spotlight focussed on the tree. Again it is necessary to caution smoker* to be careful with their matches and smoking material* near trees and decorations. Of course, keep matches out of the reach of small children. Avoid snowy or rainy days for haul­ ing and loading alfalfa hay, if ypu would have It arrive at the market in good condition, says the U. 8. Depart­ ment of Agriculture. Even hay that has been properly cured and sweated is likely. If it become* wet from snow or rain while being hauled and loaded for shipment, to arrive at the market in poor condition and with a resulting lower sale value. Hay that ha* become wet in thia way will sometime* develop mold or heat In transit even at freexIng temperatures. HOW TARIFF HELFS, The Minneapolis Tribune points out the fact that in 1927 Minneaota farm­ ers received 1113*13.474 for butter fat. which was lhe greatest of all their crops in lhe aggregate ------cash— value., The I increase over the previous year wu ' -------- "* ““-----------price received was 512) cent*. Contin­ uing. lhe Tribune aaya: "Here waa a crop that sold for a higher price per unit in the face of a | market! increase in production. Here was a crop that put twelve million more real dollars into the pockeu of Minne­ sota faraiers than had been realised from the same source lhe previous year, in the face of the fact that butter As produced in Denmark at a cost of thir­ teen cent* under production coat* in Minnesota, and in New Zealand at a cost twenty-four to twenty-eight cento under; and In lhe face of the fact that the water freight rate from New Zee­ land to New York la leas than the rail freight rates from some point* in Min­ nesota to New York.” The Tribune asks what made thia gain possible and answers the question correctly by stating that it was the pro­ tective tariff. Under lhe Underwood tariff milk and cream were on-the free list while butter had a tariff of but two and a half cento per pound. Compare price* which the farmer receive* for his dairy product* now with the price re­ ceived in Underwood tariff days and it la easy Lo see how the protective tariff can help the farmer. And it la not on­ ly lhe farmer of Minneaota who 1* helped Farmers all over lhe country are getting these checks because the tariff kcejia out cheap foreign com­ petitive product*. To the dairy farmers, as tariff bene­ ficiaries can be added the sugar beet growers of the West, and those who produce sheep, and beef cattle. Then we must not forget the citrus grower nf the South and his southern neighbor Northern Spy Apples ABOUT 40 BUSHELS—NUMBER ONE FLORIDA ORANGES—A Truck Load in Thi* Week—Per Peck................................... 75c 25c and 35c Per Doxen A Full Line of Fresh Meat at Lowest Prices SPINACH, CELERY, GREEN ONIONS, ETC., AT SUMMER PRICES FRESH SWEET CIDER BY QUART OR GALLON •OUR MILK Farmers’ Market MATTESON A HERRINGTON, Prop*. 220 So. Jefferson Street Hastings, Michigan who raises fancy garden truck for lhe northern market. Neither of «these could live without tariff protection and the vegetable grower says be must have even more protection. Doubtlesa he will get it, and farm schedule* will be raised in all directions. The old cry that the tariff doe* not help the farmer but penalises him has been exploded. For the lime being at least the free trader has passed out of the picture. The broad thoroughfare to the poor­ house is paved with gold brick*. Raise either chicken* or turkeys, but not both unless they ar* kept stroll separated. Chickens and turkeys aro a bad mixture, as turkeys convey gapeworm* to chickens, and chicken* give blackhead to turkeys.

Prices ot ar-' Season's average, increased more than the prices of articles coming under the tariff pro­ visions. The efficiency of Industry has greatly increased and the productive power of each worker Is greater than ever before. We are living In lhe most prosperous era in our history, with less poverty and generally better prospects for the future than we have ever known. Our-industrial workers are the best paid in lhe world, nnd they have the highest standards of living. Agricul­ ture is rapidly being placed on a sound­ er and more profitable basis and farm­ ers realize that a lower tariff would ruin, rather than benefit them.

So It Is easy to see that If there Is but little of the poisonous gas In the air it is readily taken into the system. So readily is this gas attracted that if the air a person breathes only contained a thousandth part of carbon monoxide in about 66 minutes his blood would have absorbed enough to make him unconscious. Experiments conducted with a gaso­ line engine, generating about twice the horse-power of an ordinary four-cylin­ der car, show that about one and onehalf cubic feet of carbon monoxide are generated each minute. In a room 10x10x20 enough of the jxjlsonoua gas would be generated in three minutes to completely overcome an occupant. In the ordinary small garage with the in­ evitable drafts a car motor would gen­ erate enough carbon monoxide In six or seven minutes to asphyxiate a penam in the room. The deadliness of this gas is rareh considered and the average citizen is apt to be careless In exposing himself to possible asphyxiation. It is. however, a menace that Is easily avoided by proper ventilation and a few precau­ tions. If everyone would safeguard himself by never leaving his car motor running tn a closed garage, particularly If It is a small one, the danger would be easily avoided. PROSECUTOR SIGLER WON HIS CASE Being a Suit Brought Against His Clients for Damages for >12,000 Prosecuting Attorney Kim Sigler was In Centerville. St. Joseph Co., several that will be of interest to many readers of the BANNER and especially to friends of Mr. and Mrs. Max Lewis. Mr. Lewis is the son of Mr. and Mr?. Dun Lewis of Ulis city. The case re­ ferred to was a 112,000 damage suit agMnst Mr. and Mrs. Max Lewis of The plaintiff in the case was a Mr. Stahower. who alleged that on June 7th last, as Mrs. Max Lewis was driving her car on West Congress street In the dty of Bturgls. she ran over Mr. Btahower's ten year old son. The complaint In the case further charged that Mrs. Lewis was driving rapidly; that she failed to apply the brakes and that she did not have her car under pontrol. Mr. Sta­ hower was represented by J. Pau) Waite, one of the prominent attorneys of SlurgLs and many witnesses were on hand to testify. It seems that at the lime of the ac­ cident thq little Stahower boy. ten years old. was running a ‘'scooter” on the sidewalk. The defense claimed that at the time Mrs. Lewis was driving only at a moderate speed and had her car under perfect control. That as Mrs Lewis was passing the little boy ran his "scooter" off the curb and crashed, into the side of her car. knocking one of the handles off the door. The boy was thrown to the pavement with such force that hla skull was fractured and death followed. The case was hotly contested before Judge Clayton C. Johnson for three days, the Jury rendering a verdict of "no cause for action.” One of the interesting legal propo­ sitions brought into the case by the plaintiff was the doctrine of "discovered •to HIE SUL .

Instead of attempting to pre­ vent such abuses Michigan, as did most other states, mistakenly went to the opposite extreme of doing away with the representative system in making nominations. We believe in deliberative action and that a deliberative body of picked men. chosen by the members of a party, will give more thought to the qualifications of the candidates, also to placing them where tn fairness they should be placed geographically, than will a primary Tlie trouble with Ute convention systrolled often by unscrupulous politicians in such a manner tiiat its action repre­ sented not the free choice of a deliber­ ative body of picked men but the rati­ fication of the choices of a small coterie of political Boases. We can well under­ stand why the people would not stand for that, but they certainly did not remedy tlie abuses of the convention system of adopting the primary plan of making nominations. We believe that a solution of the dif­ ficulties and recognised evils of the pri­ mary method of making nominations would result from combining the old convention system with tlie primary system. That Is. by having the choices for county, district and stale officials, Including congressmen and United States senators, first made by conven­ tions and then have the convention choices submitted to a primary, with the right of aspirants for offices not named at a convention, to have their names placed on the primary ballot by petition. In this manner, if a conven­ tion were corruptly controlled or If it did not represent the party will, but simply the choice of a few political bosses, the people would have their chance to remedy that situation and clear it up through the primary. In order to guard the convention from corrupt control. Its choices could be and should be made by the Austral­ ian ballot system, with secret voting by the delegates, which would eliminate boss control from a convention, as It has practically done at an election. The laws of this state should never permit nomination to be made by minorities. That could be made im­ possible by permitting bf first and second choices for any office on the primary ballot, as tn Wisconsin, or by a run-off primary following the regular primary, as in the southern states We hope the committee will give their best efforts to the consideration of the subject assigned them by the Governor and be prepared to submit recommendations that will be practical and helpful.

There is at present an active move­ ment to have the Pullman surcharge repealed. It la doubtful If the public understands ths subject clearly, und appreciated the reasons why it is a necessary part of this type of railroad transportation. Tlie Pullman surcliarge is simply a charge for extra service the railroads perform. In amount it is half of the charge made by the Pullman Company for Pullman facilities, and b used to cover the expensive service* which railroads must perform for Pullman passengers and not for coach passen­ gers. This charge amount* to about 40 million dollars a year, which go into railroad receipt* A*. In the past eight years the lines have not once earned mitted by the Transportation Act. the abolition of the surcharge would ob­ viously result in a further deficiency in revenues. Tiie Pullman Surcharge- i* a Just fare, placed on those who get extra service. Removing it would necessar­ ily place added burden on freight or passenger service which should be the last to bear added transportation cost*. NO MONEY MADE BY WAR. The Illusion 1* lield in many part* of the world, mat the united states made money out of the World war. Presi­ dent Coolidge, In hi* Armistice Day speech, denied that such was the ease. If our country made money out of the war. then the only way in which it could have done co was by selling increased quantities of our product* to foreign nation*. Our export* Increased an average of about 83.000.000.000 a year during the four years of the war, or a total of around 88.000,000.000. President Coolidge figure* that before we get through paying for the war. it will have coat u* nearly 8100.000.000,­ 000. So no one should cherish any idea that (he United Stales made any money out of the war. It lost a tremendous amount, but not many people feel that this proves that we should have kept out of It.—Newark. Ohio. Ad­ vocate.

In 1824 Mr. Coolidge received 15.725.­ 010 votes to 8386503 for hls demo­ cratic opponent. John W. Davis. giv-« Ing a plurality of 7338513 for Coolidge; but that same year LaFollette received 4.822.856 votes and the Socialist candi­ date and others were given better than a hall million more, so that Coolidge's actual majority over all candidates was but little in excess ot 2,000.000 votes, while Hoover's actual majority over all exceeded 6.000.000 votes. Ai explained soon after election in these columns, the republicans will con­ trol both branches of congress by good majorities. But there are men who worked against republican measures in preceding congresses in the senate in the past who were returned this yean. If all these should act together they could still make trouble for President­ elect Hoover. But it seems improb­ able tha: they will do so. because Sen­ ator Borah, who was an extreme inde­ pendent and has never hesitated to kick over the traces when he felt like it. as he usually did. was one of the most ardent supporters ot President­ elect Hoover. The same could be said of Senator Brookliart of Iowa as well as both senators from North Dakota. Senator Couzens of Michigan and Senator Norris' colleague from Ne­ braska. All of these did their utmost in favor ot Hoover's election, which they did not do four years ago for Coolidge. We think Mr. Hoover is the type who will more easily get along with these insurgents than did Mr. Coolidge. He will do this without compromise of principle. Taken all in all. the outlook seems to be for comparatively easy going for Mr Hoover as compared with Presi­ dent Coolidge. By temperament he will in many way? be in hearty accord with the views of the more conservative ones among the insurgent!; but he will not hesitate to oppose radical moves. The country can safely look forward to four years and. If he shall live, we believe eight years of con­ structive service for the entire country by our President-elect. Nothing could more favorably impress the people than has hls visit to Central and South America, which was conceived and will be carlred out for the purpose of pro­ moting a good understanding between the people of this republic and the Latin republics lo the south of us.

Desk and Office Supplies, Cabinets, Blank Books, Etc $. Christmas is gone, and as 1928 draws to a close, we pause for a moment to think seriously of life, of what it means to us—of its joys and of its sorrows. One of the great joys of life, as we see it, is its friend­ ships. A true friend is a valued possession. What is true of our personal lives is also true of our bus­ iness lives. We like to feel that there is a spirit of friend­ ship underlying each business transaction. We like to think of our customers as our friends. We like to value our business friendships as we value our per­ sonal friendships. Nineteen hundred and twenty-eight has been good to us, and you, through your friendship, your loyalty, your confidence, have contributed no small part to its success. As* an expression, therefore, of our genuine apprecia­ tion of your friendship and all that it has meant to us, we wish you and those whom you love, a joyful Holiday Sea­ son and a New Year brim full of good things. Tho United States Government is operated these days on the budget system—because it is proven beyond a doubt that this is the best and most economical business method—an item­ ized account is kept of everything. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU STAND IN A BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL WAY? It means money saved for you to know just how your affairs stand from one week to the next. The only way you can know this is by keeping an accurate account of everything—-keep com­ plete daily records, whether you are in the mercantile business, a farmer, a professional man, or just a householder or holding a position on a salary. This is the correct way. For your convenience and help in maintaining such a system we carry a complete lino of all things necessary. We are sure there is no place in Barry county where you can find such a complete stock of these things. .

C. J. ARGUBRIGHT Argubright-tralned Secretaries, Accountants, Executives—are always in demand. Double the positions open that we have graduates to send to them. Argubright Training means much more than “a business course” as applied to business colleges—it means a Specialized Training in the Fundamentals of Executive Ability This is the reason so many big businesses sometimes hold positions open for months, waiting for an Argu­ bright trained graduate. - Four of Michigan's biggest institutions—financial and manufacturing—are now awaiting every graduate from the Secretarial, Accounting and Business Administration Departments at profitable salaries at the start. Argubright's graduates are always placed in positions where there are opportunities for advancement. Argubright’s employs no solicitors. It wants only young men and young women who have an inspiration for just such training as is given at Argubright’s.

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.
