He was fined 475 and the costs in the case, 48-35 more, both of which were paid. Mr. Babcock would find a second offense much more ex­ pensive. because for a second offense the fine Is 8500 and 100 days In jail. I', appears that Mr. Babcock saw this doe on his premise* and decided that he would try for some venison. He went Into the house, got a shotgun and fired at the animal. He evidently hit the deer, as could be seen from exam­ ining the ground where there was blood as well as hair from the deer's hid*. But ho did not succeed in killing it. The deer ran away. Next Mr. Babcock went to a neighbor's and borrowed a rifie. telling the neighbor that he want­ ed to use It to shoot at a deer. This neighbor warned him tlint that was un­ lawful and would get him Into trouble; but he persisted and followed the deer and shot at it with the rifle, but failed to get the animal. This all happened on December 15. The deer has been seen since that time. he hoped to save the animal from being killed, drove.it southward where it en­ tered a swamp and it may be there yet This man did a commendable dbed in trying to save the deer. He said tha«. the deer was evidently badly hurt, be­ cause it was unable to jump over a low This doe was probably the one that spent a good share of last summer on the George Thomas place near Harnett lake, In Yankee Springs. Mr. Thomas' fed tiie animal and said that it became very tame and hod nearly overcome Its fear of humans. It would mingle with the cattle and come up with them to tiie bam. He had even asked the privilege of putting it In an enclosure so that It would not be In danger of being shot during the hunting season in October; but the State Conservation Department declined to grunt that ■per­ mission. Mr. Thomas has since moved away from the locality. It is believed that the doe Babcock shot was the deer that had wandered away from Yankee Springs.

Jtn. 9. at Judge Russell R. McPeek has an­ nounced that he will be a candidate for circuit judge. We hope there will be no. candidate against him. We do not be­ lieve there will be in the primary, and we hardly expect it at the election. It would be difficult to suggest how a circuit judge could give finer service than has Judge McPeek. Surely there is no more conscientious judge in the state of Michigan. He tries to settle each case on Ute basis of the merits and justice of that case as he sees It. That he has succeeded wonderfully well is shown by the fact that, while there have been several cases that have been heard by him and decided by him appealed to the supreme court of this slate from this circuit, not one of them has been reversed. This is a record of which the people of this county are justly proud. Of course such t record as that cannot be expected Indefinitely. If he had been sustained in the major­ ity of the cases that have been appeal­ ed that would have been very compli­ mentary to him; but to have made the record he has shows the thoroughness and care with which he has studied each case and the law appljing to it before making his decisions. We believe that Judge McPeek will know, when the votes are counted, that the people of Barry county appreciate the fine service he has given. CO. ACT. ROOD AND F. A.

Cast iron pipes will, of course, last a long time; but other kinds will not last very long. The city has o large Investment in machinery at the plant, several pump*, one large water tube boiler. There Is need of another water tube boiler and the dty has set aside somewhere near half of the cost of that improvement as a reserve fund to pay for it. But we believe that the the state tn contribute 44.500.000 from its road funds, when every cent of it is needed for the purposes for which it is now used. That is. about 410,000,000 of the weight and gas tax comes to the counties for help in their good roads urogram; the cities get about 42.000,000 more, for the maintenance of trunk lines that run through cities and vil­ lages Just the maintenance of trunk lines costs over 6,000,000 yearly.

One would hardly realize that this Institu­ tion has been of so much service to the people of this section. The value of this institution to the farmers will be easily appreciated. The ^kyinents they get from the Arctic Company arc made the 15th cf every month, and bring them a steady in­ come, quite unlike an income from grains or any ordinary crop, which usually all comes In at one time. But one of the big benefits of dairying is in the steady income produced. Another benefit to the fanner Is that dairying helps the farm, instead of taking fertllity from it. Dairying In these days is becoming largely dependent upon al­ falfa. and alfalfa is a big booster for the land. But not less Important are the bene­ fits to tiie business Interests of Has­ tings of this quarter of a million dol­ lars, paid directly to the farmers In cash, in monthly payments of over 820.­ 000. To quite an extent this money has found It* way into the channels of trade in Hastings, for materials needed for farm families and farm operations. Hastings business men -therefore ought to appreciate and. wo are sure, will more largely appreciate the value of the Arctic Company to this city, when they realize that through this company nearly 4250,000 In cash is paid directly to the farmers within the trading rad­ ius of Hastings. | THREE AUCTIONS | LESLIE WILLIAMS.

The plan has been In operation for two years. This year, the Exchange placed two carloads of certified seed with 15 members of associations which are affiliated with the Exchange. The seed produced 15.000 bushels of excel­ lent potatoes which will be used for seed by other members of the associa­ tions. Each of the 15 growers produced hls crop under the supervision of the farm cro|» department at Michigan State College and each field was sprayed five times Check plots left unsprayed In each field demonstrated that the spray­ ing increased yields 42 bushels per acre. Trials were also conducted to deter­ mine whether closeness of planting had any effect upon the percentage of hol­ low heart In the potatoes. It. was found that, when the seed was planted 36 by 36 inches apart. 10.1 per-cent of the potatoes were hollow, while a planting distance of 36 by 18 inches produced a crop In which only 1.9 per cent of the potatoes were hollow. The use of fertilizer Increased the yields 39 bushels per acre on the farms of the 15 growers. The analyses used were 2-12-6 and 0-10-10. _ They are ail quality garments which, in their correctness of style, excellence of fab­ ric and fine workmanship, will be very much in the mode for another season’s wear. ^DOCKS of NEW YORK •i?

LAMBIE & DOYLE "The Store for Dad and Lad" Michigan Hastings FOR YEARS THE HUDSON-ESSEX SUPER-SIX HAS LED THE FIELD OF SIX CYLINDER AUTOMO­ BILES. ALWAYS AHEAD OF THE TIMES WITH THE LATEST IN EVERY AUTOMOBILE REFINE­ MENT. The BANNER is disposed to believe that when Mr. Hoover is settled in the presidential chair and addresses him­ self. as lie will, to making the 18th amendment effective, he will do so in a way that will accomplish much more than all the law enforcing officer of the country. What we mean is this: Mr. Hoover as the President and chosen leader of his country, will set the example in the White House and elsewhere of never in­ dulging in Intoxicants of any sort. He has obeyed the 18th amendment from the day of its adoption. What he will unquestionably do will be to make an appeal to the American people to not destroy respect for all law by encour­ aging an outlawed traffic. When we remember how much Mr. Hoover ac­ complished when he was at the head of the food administration of this country, we will not forget that it was hls appeal, through moral suasion. 1 rather than by any attempt at bringing pressure to bear, that made his cam­ paign for saving food for our army and to help the armies of Europe so suc­ cessful. We expect him to exert tho same Influence, even more powerfully, by an appeal to the American people, which we believe they will heed, com­ ing as it will from a man of his stand- ■ ing and in his exalted position.

A New York book collector has bought Dr. Samuel Johnson's prayer book and Bible. Here's hoping that he issue of Bunday, December 23rd, was ■printed entirely upon paper that was manufactured from com stalks. That this change from wood pulp print paper, to paper made from com, stalks was more than just a freak experiment Is shown by the fact that a company has been formed in Danville for the pur­ pose of producing a fine quality of pa­ per; better than the ordinary news print, from cornstalks. Thus a new possible outlet Is opened for the profitable use of what has here­ tofore been a farm by-product of little value, except when put Into silos. which will be of much value as the basis for making print paper. Michigan is not one of the great com producing states. Most of our com and stalks are fed to Interested in the development of any raw products for paper making. At the present time the United States is dependent, to a large extent, upon Canada for wood pulp, our own acreage of that material having been so re­ duced. and the demand for print paper being so greatly enlarged, that Ameri­ can manufacturers have hod to go Into Canada, where they have bought up Immense acreages of spruce woods, and are using up-to-date forestry methods In tho taking off of the pulp wood timber. Tills was not done In this country; but Canada wisely Insists upon it. This country puts a tariff upon pulp wood and Canada puta an export duty on It, so that American users of print paper have had to enrich Canadians for a long time because of this export duty. It will seem fine in­ deed if we caii have a big source al­ most on unlimited supply, of material from which print paper can be manu­ factured in our own country, which will at the same time make a market for what has been very largely a waste product In the corn belt. It is pleasing to know that it was a Kalamazoo paper mill which manu­ factured the com stalk newsprint used In the Commercial News special edi­ tors from pulp that was manufactured at Danville from com stalks grown near there. Michigan makes a vast amount of fine rag paper, and ranks sixth among the states In the produc­ tion of wood pulp for paper making. The American Corn Products Com­ pany is making oil for table use, as well as syrup, from corn. Over at Battle Creek are several factories running the year around, making breakfast food that which has been a waste product, we mean the com stalks, in the making of print paper, we shall have taken a long step toward making the farmer prosperous and making this country In­ dependent of Canada, os well as of all other countries in the manufacture of print paper, of which we use probably half of the entire total manufactured In the world. Our immense dty papers, with their tremendous circulation, as well as the other uses for print paper for advertising purposes, have made the demand for this product so heavy that our country alone cannot supply It. since we have so recklessly destroyed the forests which, if they had been lumbered in 4 sensible way. would be still producing hundreds of millions of dollars in lumber and Immense quan­ tities of pulp wood—all that we could possibly use.

Below Are A Couple of 'Tettimonials by Local Drivers Who Have Had Occasion to Give the Model A More Severe Driving In A Few Months Than Most Owners Give In 3 Years: Since June 1 st, 1928, my Model A Ford Tudor has been driven over I 5,000 miles. A large percentage of this mile­ age has been made at a speed of from 45 to 65 miles per hour. 1 have always given the car excellent care and today it is apparently in just as fine condition as when delivered. J. M. Townsend Paul Rood The aim of Henry Ford has been, not alone Quantity production, but QUALITY Production Here’s What the Ford Motor Co. Say About the Model A: "The new Ford was a good car when It was first introduced. We made sure of that before we asked gou to bug it. It is a better car todag. . . . Constantlg we are finding new and better wags of doing things. As soon as we are sure of them we put them into the car. There is no such thing as a gearlg model. Whgshould there be? As we make improvements, theg are so planned that owners of previouslg built cars mag take immediate advantage of them. ” . • * & & $ .

Most of the above mileage has been driven at a speed ranging from fifty to seventy miles per hour.

At the present time many of the great foreign powers are in the throes of unres(. The Russian Soviet experi­ ment lias yet to be worked out satis­ factorily and has been chiefly distin­ guished by conflicts between different Communist factions. England. Austria, Germany and France have labor prob­ lems. Government ownership of basic industries has not met the demands of workers' and has damaged national prosperity. In comparison, the United Stales stands out. with unparalleled prosper­ ity and industfpH satisfaction. Except for coal, major American industries have been free from strikes for years and even minor disputes between em­ ployes and employers have been rare. With growth in wages in our coun­ try. millions of workers are purchasing stock in industries which furnish them employment. They will be the capital­ ists of tomorrow. Capital has mode our prosperity and labor lias benefited. And the import­ ed panaceas are found, when brought to America, to be sadly lacking in the qualities that would endear them to our individualistic and independent­ thinking citizens.

According to press dispatches, the prospective enactment of Boulder Dam legislation which will provide an initial appropriation of millions of dollars of public money for power development as a by-product of a flood control dam. which could have been built by the government at a moderate cost, has enabled land speculators to start large operations on the sagebrush wastes adjacent to the dam site.

ITEMS | We WUl Be Wise If We Stick to the Tariff Policy That Has Made the United States Prosperous Our free traders ore always empha­ sizing the importance of foreign mark­ ets and minimizing- our home market though Inferentlally admitting that this market is of vital importance to our foreign competitors. Protectionists admit »he Importance of the for­ eign market, but believe that the best way for Uncle Sam to get a foothold market first by tremendous production, lower costs so that he can compete abroad. The argument that we must lower our tariff so foreign nations can sell here and so buy from us falls to the ground before the fact that we are ab ready importing a great quantity ot foreign goods. The importance of our tariff policy. Its relation to restricted immigration and the relative importance of domestic and foreign trade wu set forth recent­ ly in a statement by Secretary Mellon in a clear and logical way. "Our tariff policy and our immigra­ tion policy have brought to labor the highest real wages In its history." MrMellon declared. "We have found that, by the use of labor-saving machinery and by manufacturing in quantity, we can Increase the productive capacity per capita of labor and also eliminate waste. In this way we can pay high wages and still reduce costs, so that finished products are priced low enough to stimulate further /consumption. High wages, in turn, have raised the country's purchasing power; and. u a result, we have today a domestic mark­ et of more than 115.000,000 people of great consumption capacity. In this market Iles the Industrial power of American agriculture. That market is al the base of ail our prosperity and makes us. to a large extent, Independ­ ent of conditions outside of our own borders. Furthermore, a study of the consumption of th- more common com­ modities in the United States In com­ parison with total world production shows what America's purchasing power means not only to industry and agriculture here, but to the rest of the world also. The population of the United States Is 7 per cent of the total world popu­ lation. Yet that 7 per cent consumed Rev. Schrock's Y group of Woodland met with C. F..

During the Past 10 Years and More We Have Given 20% to 25% More for Milk Than Barry County Farmers Had Received Before Over 800 Good Milk Producing Cows In Three Years During the Past Three Years, 1926 1927 and 1928, We Have Brought Into Barry County Over 800 Good Milk Producing Cows and Sold Them to Farmers Who Wished to Build Up Good “Milking” Herds , Barry County Should Be Big Dairying Section • DURING THE PAST 11 YEARS We have paid the farmers in the trade area about Hastings nearly 2% Million Dollars for their milk products. Had there been no market for the milk produced upon these farms during these past 11 years the entire com­ munity - farmers and business men - would have been poorer by about 2% Million Dollars. % 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 responsible for them. We think it is well for us to pause now and then and take in­ ventory, 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 few years. Many farmers are bringing us More and More Milk Each Year from the same Number of Cows, which shows that there is a steady tendency toward better milk producing cattle. —■.—-‘ ' 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 farmers of this county to give greater attention to their dairying interests. 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 therule. Make A 1929 Resolution —to do everything you can to improve your dairy herd this year—GOOD COWS can produce more milk than poor cows and cost no more to feed and care for. Dairymen are beginning to realize this and 1929 will see more of the “ Scrubs " and " Boarders ’’ sent to the packing house. aS Our United Effort Will Place Barry County Among the Leaders In Dairying retie Pairy Products Compa Haitingi, Michigan — Telephone 2424 . �tiit mmoi baxm* wwhmimt. mhvabt t. im POUETEBN Thousands of Miles of Service In Our Used Cars PRAIRIEVILLE AND VICINITY.

Such OVER $400,000 RIGHT NOW an Institution will not run Itself, that Bo far as Hastings In concerned, this matter was forced on Us by the state. We could not help It. Having been or­ dered by the State Board of Health to build a sewage dispa-al plant, there was nothing left for Hastings to do but to do It. We are doing It In a satisfact­ ory way and without Issuing any bonds. But the fact that we haven't issued any bonds and will not does not alter • the situation; for the dty will have In­ vested fully $50,000 in this plant, and will have to add to tire expense of the dty government whatever amount It cost* to operate the plant when It is completed. We believe, therefore. It will be wise for this dty to note what is going on In Grand Rapids. It may be that we will find It to the advantage of the dty to charge fur the disposal of sewage from homes and business places. It there is no reason why the city should have to meet this extra expense, es­ pecially when ttje-charter limits the dty absolutely to one per cent on the assessed valuation of property. In or­ der to carry on the dty government. When we think what it costs to care for Commander L. M. Atkins of the U. 8. Navy visited his mother, Mrs. Charles Atkins, of this dty the past week. Commander Atkins Is now stationed at Rio Janeiro. Bradl. At the request of the government of Brazil our govern­ ment stations 18 naval officers there, the purpose being to assist Brazil In the establishment of a navy so that coun­ try may no* repeat some of the mis­ takes made by countries that are not familiar with ship building. Commander Atkins is at present in charge of the building of a big ship­ yard at Rio Janeiro so that Brazil can make her own ships. He says that Bradl has Immense re­ sources that have scarcely been touched as yet. It is larger than continental United States and the prospects, for Its development are very bright. There ore immense deposits of iron ore and It Li the biggest source of manganese ore In the world. It 13 the largest producer and exporter of coffee. It has immense districts adapted for agriculture and others that are adapted for stock rais­ ing, Its supply of hard woods Is great­ er than any other country on earth. It Is a producer of diamond* as well as other gems. Il has uncounted millions of acres of territory that never have been even scratched over. Commander Atkins said that- the de- the First Class You wouldn't naturally think of De­ cember as being a month when much would be added to the Insurance of the Windstorm Company. Yet during the agents of the Windstorm Company was >3.190.195. This brings the total amount of Insurance In force well over the S400.000.000 mark. The precise amount-will be known when the compony's books are balanced for their an­ nual meeting, which will take place It is not an accident that the Wind­ storm Company is making Its splendid record. It Is due to the fact that it Is properly managed and gives real serv­ ice to its nearly 100X100 patrons. At the close of the year the company will show a balance of cash on hand of over $400X300 with which to begin the year 1929.

If this city would consent to having a standpipe, which It prob­ ably never will. In connection with its water plant there could be effected a big saving, which would benefit the taxpayers of our city. But the people of Hastings are no well satisfied with the service they get now and with the excellent quality of the water that they now have that it Is doubtful if they will ever consent to having an elevated tank into which water could be pump­ ed through the day, and which would be ready to supply from the tank for all possible night use without pumping. Judging from the figures submitted to the council, there could be a con­ siderable saving, well worth while, if the city would install electric service, whether the water be pumped directly into the mains or Into a standpipe for storage. Consideration of a standpipe doubtless might as well be eliminated, because the people of this city prob­ ably will never give their consent to they can afford to pay for the present direct service, and the difference in cost is not so large that they will be disposed to .change from the direct service through the mains. * According to the figures submitted. It will require an Investment of about •5,525 for electric pumping direct into the mains, with an undoubted saving will place Brazil among the foremost government and people are very friend­ ly to this country.

But as compared with the cost of a new water tube boiler, which the dty is planning to put In, which will prob­ ably cost around 110,000. the electric installation would seem to have the double advantage of not requiring as NOTICE HOPE TAXPAYERS.

He had entered a plea of guilty to having entered the premises of the .Delton Brick Co. for the purpose of committing a felony, and had taken considerable valuable machinery from the premise*. It appeared that Mr. Wellington had been convicted of a like offense In Allegan county some years ago. so that this constituted a second felony. Under the terms of the crime code of Michigan. Judge McPeek had no alter­ native than to sentence Wellington as required by that law for Half the max-, irnum term for the offense which he had confessed. The maximum is five years; so the Judge had to send him to Ionia'for two and one half years. The Judge called attention to the fact that his was an outstanding case where the weakness of a man had brought mental and physical suffering to hls Innocent wife and small chil­ dren. who had no part In the offense whatever, but who must suffer more than he on account of hls misdeeds. It appears Wellington has a wife and four children, who must spend the two and one half yean while he Is in Ionia with her parents, who are themselves not well to do and have eight children. Wellington appears not to be a bad sort, but seems somehow to have Im­ bibed the notion that he can get along by taking Other folks* property rather than earning some for himself.

The Getty Co , having proven by this well that the oil struc­ ture was underneath the Hinkle permit, wished to purchase the remaining half of the Hinkle j>ermit. offering 5100 per acre. Wm.

The defendants in the suit claim, and Judge Hawley concedes, their "sin­ cerity and good faith" in making the claim, that Wm. Dooley had the right to dispose of a three quarter* interest in the Hobbs and Hinkle permits to them and that they had a right to ac­ quire the same on the terms they agreed on with William Dooley. Mr*. Hobbs and Mrs. Hinkle, the original, owner* of the tw.o permits, in their testimony in the case say that they turned these permits over to William Dooley to aid in the drilling of a well cn the Simmons permit and did not care whether he sold them or gave them away, so long as what he did aid­ ed in producing a deep test well on the Simmons permit, north of theirs, since they retained an overriding royalty of 7 1-2 percent in the two permits. The defendants claim that they took upon themselves the responsibility, and that the complainants did not share in that responsibility, of guaranteeing William Dooley the purchase price of the two permits when they acquired They claim that they sold several thousand dollars worth of Hobbs and Hinkle acreage, nearly all the proceeds being turned over to Wm. Dooley, which enabled him to carry on the drilling of the well on the Simmons permit to a depth of 2040 feet. They claim that they assumed obliga­ tions to the U. S. government as well as to those to whom they sold acreage, by which obligations they must put down a test well, at a cost of several thousand dollars, on the two permits to the depth required by the govern­ ment In order to retain title to the per­ mits, or refund the mopey paid them by the purchasers of acreage and then forfeit the permits if they did not drill the well. They claim the complainants never shared this responsibility and yet want the defendants to share the proceeds when they undertook no ob­ ligation In the matter. They claim that when they under­ took these responsibilities to the gov­ ernment and to the acreage purchaser* on the two permits they had no idea that the Getty Oil Co. would be a fac­ tor in the situation, nor hod any one else such an idea at that time. The defendants claim that not one of the complainants could have been asked or required to make good on any of the obligations which the defendants assumed to Dooley In the purchase, to the government in putting down a well or forfeiting the two permits, or to the acreage purchaser* to refund their money or put down a deep teal wellall of which obligations were assumed before the Getty Co. had anything to do with the proposition. The defendants claim that there was no law that equid have compelled them to assume these obligations and make the acreage sales they did for the bene­ fit of ALL tho acreage owners on the Simmons permit, and that the com­ plainants who did not assume any ot these obligation*, stood to profit by the defendants' course In the matter hod a successful oil well been developed as was hoped on the Simmons permit, to secure which they turned over several thousand dollars of proceed* of acreage sale* they made on the two permit*. They claim that having acquired the faith; having devoted meet of the pro­ ceed* of acreage sales to develop a well on the original Simmons permit; hav­ ing made and signed a personal de­ mand note for 52300 to William Dooley to aid in the drilling of said well, they feel that their obligations to the plain­ tiffs have been discharged in full.

The fact that tho Hastings- post office to now a first class office can be traced almost direct­ ly to the presence here of the' Wind­ storm Company, whose large corres­ pondence and the notices sent each year to all Its patrons make it the largest individual buyer of stamps and the largest Individual patron of thc post office. There are other ways in which thto company has been a help to Hasting*. It has brought two mighty good men to thto city as permanent residents, in the persons of President Ix>u Bunday and Secretary Ed. Parker. It has made tills city the center of Its operations and has a beautiful building for Ito atflees, paid for, and employs steadily 14 young ladies to look after the detail clerical work, which one can well Im­ agine u heavy with a company hand­ ling over 1400,000.000 of insurance.

It was through hls efforts that a bill was passed by the legislature permitting Its organization and it was tiirough Mr. Rogers that wo have K.

There all the room to utilized to good advantage in taking care ot the company's large business.

Tho company enters 1029 with One prospects and there would seem to bo no reason why there should not be a good growth this year, although It seems hard to believe that it can con­ tinue to grow at the rapid pace of tho last four years. It Is certain that It would not have expanded as it has but for the careful management given to its business and Uie fine service It gives to Its patrons. Is Your Opportunity for Real Bargains!

The number of sows farrowing was 16 percent less but a slightly higher percentage of pigs were saved as weather conditions were more favorable In most sections The sur­ vey further allows Indication* of a d(Tcrease of seven percent in next spring’s pig crop as compared with last spring's but breeding intentions will probably not be fuUy carried out and a greater decrease than seven'percent may be expected. For the East North Central group of state*, the fail pig crop was about four and one half percent short of one year ago. The percentage of pigs saved was larger, so that the decrease of seven percent in the number of sows farrow­ ing was partially offset.

The reason so many hundreds of thousands of people visit this little village to at­ tend this play to because the people who put it on are intensely in earnest Ln what they do. try by their living as well as by their acting to enter into the spirit that makes this Passion Play so fascinating and of such drawing power. We have explained that it was be­ cause of the gratitude of the people of this little village, three centuries ago. for an escape from a plague of small­ pox that they solemnly pledged them­ selves, In the village church, to once In ten years put on a representation of the closing scenes in the life of Christ. three centuries since that time. The characters are selected not In a hap­ hazard way, but by those who have the play in charge, with special reference to the part that they will have In the play. They really and truly try to live la be worthy of their parts. Anton people who know him. to sincerely live as near a Ohrtotilke life as it to possible for any human to live. When he is representing the Christ in the play, he evidences the very spirit that domi­ nated the Master in the great sacrifice which He made of Himself and In the final words that He gave to Hto friends * and to Hto disciples.'

O. Hill Issued some­ thing over 7400 licenses in 1928, but some car owners from adjoining coun­ ties came to Hastings for their licenses, particularly from Eaton county, be­ cause In that county the person who hod charge of dw license plate sale lived in Eaton Rapids and it was more convenient for several residents In the western part of Eaton county to come to- Hastings than it was to go to Eaton Rapids. Mr. HUI estimates that there are close to 7,000 cars in this county. He was allowed 7,700 pain of license plates. This showing to good for this county, Which haa a population of about 21400. which evidences that there to on an three average an automobile for each persona in the county.

LARGE CORPORATIONS HAVE PROVED FORD ECONOMY Definite evidence of the economy of the new Foni is shown in the repeated and trowing purchases by Federal and city governments, by police depart­ ments, and by large industrial companies which keep day-by-day cost records. The new Ford has been chosen only after exhaus­ tive tests covering every feature of automobile value and performance—from the time of purchase to the final trade-in. Here the Ford policy of not making yearly changes serves to protect and maintain the investment of every Ford owner. All improvements In the new Ford are made so that present owners may take advantage of them quickly and at low cost THE ECONOMY OF GOOD SERVICE AT A FAIR PRICE The availability of Ford dealers throughout the (World Mid close factory supervision of all service service • , ----------- J are additional reasons for the economy of the new Ford. ■ It haw always been our belief that a sale does not complete the transaction between us and the buyer but establishes a new obligation on us to see that his car gives him service. We are as much interested in hia economical operation of the car as he is in our economical manufacture of it. F or that reason we have installed a system of con­ trolled service to take care of all Ford car needs In an economical and improved manner. We wish all Ford owners to know what they are entitled to In this respect so that they may readily avail them, solves of this service. FORD SERVICE MORE IMPORTANT THAN SALES This service begins with proper instruction when i n!!nb!!LthieKAnr *?id in',udeB a inspection at 500, 1000 and 1500 miles. It continues as long as you are a Ford owner. No matter where you live or where you go, you will never be very far from a Ford dealer who haa been specially trained and equipped to give you courteous, intelligent, economical service. The cost of new parts is low because of the established Ford policy of doing business at a small margin of profit. The purpose of Ford service is identical with that for which the car itself was built—to help you get many thousands of miles of pleasant, enjoyable mo­ toring at a minimum of trouble and expense. “Good performance with economy” is the reason for'the unusual value that is brought |o you in the new Ford.

It cpuld be remodelled and connected up with the beating and ventilating system now operated for the High school and could be equipped with sprinklers, so as to make it safe so far as insurance is concerned; and it would serve many useful purposes for this city. If the new grade building should be constructed on the present school grounds, it would be necessary to tear down the white building. Anyone who will take the time to visit and inspect that building while school is in session^ will easily see why it is not suited for school purposes. But it can be re­ vamped and adapted for a library, public museum and a meeting place for such organizations as we have mentioned.

Stebbins. How­ ever. it seems that such assignments were not effective to convey iald per­ mits until nuu unul they were wcre approved *PP ”>ved by by the the pn}per Department of Dooley and the other defendants end and Uie amount realised by Mid An­ drew Dooley from Getty Company for said interest therein was the sum of <96.000.00, one-third of which was paid in cash and is now in the hand* and under the control of defendant William R. Cook; the remaining two-thirds is runs from Mid acreage, exclusive of the royalty to be paid to the United Slates Government. All that haa as yet been paid is the first installment. The agreement to block the CookIronslde permit was entered into by said Cook and Ironside without the knowledge or consent of the plaintiffs, and the agreement to sell Mid lands upon said Hinkle permit was also with­ out their knowledge or consent. . The defendants,' Andrew Dooley. Cook. Ironside and Stebbins, urge in Justification of their dealings In respect to the three-fourths interest In the Hinkle and Hobbs permits, that they purchased the same from William Doo­ ley and agreed to pay him therefor the sum of 814X100.00. They assert that Dooley had the power to make sutfh rate and that they had the right to make and did make such purchase. I think that they make this claim In all sincerity and In entire good faith, but In my Judgment mistakenly. They neither acutally consummated such purchase, nor did they have the right to do so for their own benefit without first communicating full Information concerning such permits to each and all the other members of the Cook-Iron­ side Syndicate and obtaining the con­ sent to such purchase from each and all the members thereof. This they failed to do. Again even the alleged Mie of said in­ terest In the permits was never consum­ mated. According to the William Doo­ ley tetters (See Ex. 125: and tetter of william Dooley to W. R. Cook, Dec. 5. 1925) It never was more than an option and the option was never exercised either by act or written word. The <14.000.00, or any part thereof, was never paid. There was for months desperate need of money for drilling operations. Finally about September 1st, 1926. for lack of funds, the drilling of the Cook-Ironside well was entirely and apparently for all time suspended so far as William Dooley and Mid four defendants are concerned. But tn this entire Interval no money was forth­ coming from them, or any of them. It Is not clear but that this territory would have remained for an Indefinite period unproved and undeveloped if the Getty Company had not come to the rescue. Even then, however, in or­ der to induce the Getty Company to engage in the venture, the members of the Cook-Ironside Syndicate were compelled to contribute one-half ot their acreage. If a deep test well is ever drilled on the Cook-Ironside prop­ erty it will be done by the Getty Company and all of the members of the syndicate will have contributed to the payment of the expense as they have already contributed to drilling wells on the Hinkle permit. The re­ sult is that the members of the Cook­ Ironside permit while contributing to the drilling of the wells on tiut Hinkle permit have derived no benefit from either the Hobbs or Hinkle permits and an effort Is now made to deprive them of any benefit from either of said per­ mits. If the contention of the defense In this respect Is allowed the result will be that the four defendants will receive for themselves all the benefit of the contributions of Mrs. Hinkle and Mrs. Hobbs, except the acreage rights aforeMid. without the expenditure of a penny of their own money, contrary to the purposes of the donors and without the knowledge or consent of tiie mem­ bers of the syndicate. In other words, the four defendants, without expense to themselves, will get the entire bene­ fit of three-fourths of the donations made by Mrs. Hinkle and Mrs. Hobbs, exAept the 87750.00 derived from the sale ot acreage rights, and the OookIronslde Syndicate will be left without a deep test well and with only a "dus­ ter" 2040-feet deep. It will not do to say that the Getty Company may or will eventually test the Cook-Ironside permit. They may do so and again they may not. Whether they do or not is under the contract optional with them; but if they do the members Of the group and not the four defendants have already paid them therefor by donating to Mid company one-half of the acreage of Mid permit In my Judgment the contention of the dedendants Is not grounded in equity and Justice and should not prevail. The sale of acreage rights for the purpose of constructing the Cook-Ironside well donors and will be sustained. Ths transfer of acreage rights in payment for services performed and expenses In­ curred by various Individuals Is also sustained. Defendants Cook and Ironside held title to the Cook-Ironside permit as trustees for the use and. benefit of all those Interested therein as named in the so-called "certificate of division.'* They had no authority, either'specific or otherwise, to dispose of the same without the consent of those who ware Interested therein. However, by lapse of time, without complaint, and partic­ ularly by the filing ot this bill of com­ plaint. seeking the relief therein prayed, the plaintiffs have waived any objection to the agreement entered In­ to by the defendants Cook and Ironside for the blocking ot said permit with other adjoining territory. plaintiffs.

Mr. Rogers called attention to the fact that the principal sources of in­ come for ills department were the weight lax and the gas tax. which to­ gether bring about 838,000.000. The national government furnishes about 12,000,000 more. From other sources there is received about a half million additional. That looks like a lot of money. But when one comes to analyze the situation It does not leave anything like what one might expect tor con­ struction work by the highway depart­ ment. The counties are i»ld 19.000.­ 000 from the weight tax. Il takes about 84300.000 for the interest and the sink­ ing fund to retire the 850.000.000 high­ way bond issue made in 1919. It takes between 85.000.000 and 16.000.000 to maintain the 7500 miles ot state trunk line highway. Then deducting a half million dollars to pay the states and villages for maintaining pavements which such cities and villages had construtted, but are now parts of trunk line highways, as provided by an act of tiie last legislature. There are other ex­ penditures for overhead, such as sal­ aries, purchase, of right of way, etc., that have to be deducted, so that when the net amount is ascertained It is found that the highway department has about 814.000,000 with which to do its construction work. With that amount there was constructed in 1928 a total of a little over 515 miles of im­ proved highway, of which 369 miles are concrete. 31 miles asphalt paving, the balance being gravel. Mr. Rogers came to the State High­ way Department in 1905. when Horatio FAEarle was tiie highway commission­ er. Soon after that Mr. Rogers was made commissioner and has filled the office continuously ever since until he resigned a few weeks ago.

Tiie people of thU city and count/ have been interested In the federal case against the dty of Chicago, for diverting the waters of Lake Michigan Into Its sanitary canal, not only be­ cause they are citterns bf Michigan, but especially ticca use of the promi­ nence in that cost of a Barry county citizen, then attorney general of thU state and now Justice of toe Supreme Court. W.. W. Potter. Mr. Potter not only prepared a brief in toe case in behalf of toe state of Michigan, but also made an oral ar­ gument before the supreme court. The decUion of the highest court in the land won handed down on Monday. It almost completely sustains the podtloh taken by Mr. Potter. We have not space to review U>e case at length nor to give the decUion in full. The dty of Chicago claimed the right to divert the waters of Lake Michigan on the double ground of aid­ ing in toe navigation of toe IllinoU river, to which stream the waters taken from Lake Michigan were diverted, but also because toet water was needed to convey the sewage of the dty away from Chicago and sare dumping it in­ to the lake au had previously been dune. The dty of Chicago, at the ex­ pense of several mlll on dollars, bull, what is known as 'to* drainage canal* from the mouth of the Chicago river to a junction with too Illinois river. There resulted the spectacle of water in the Chicago river actually running up stream, to toe place where it was dumped into the ernai. The other cities and states bordering on Lake Midilgan and the other Great Lakes, did net vake up to toe situa­ tion for a long tone. After the catal was made and all provisions had been made to dump the city’s sewage into it. an appeal war uu.de by Chicago to tlw War Department, which had con­ trol of Uie matter, to permit Chicago to divert the necessary water from Lake Michigan to catry off its sewnge. Permission wm granted by the War Departmeut to take 4.167 cubic \ feet of water per second from toe lake. That much bavin* been p tinted, the Chi­ cago Drainage Board took a great d»a) more for granted and calmly preced­ ed to incrcaas the amount taken until the dty of Chicago wm actually get­ ting 8,500 cubic feet of water per second from the lake and conveying it through ita drainage canal into toe Illinois riVef. The result was what might have been expected, when as much water was taken out by tola one canal oa flows Into the lake from the four largest river systems of Michigan, Uie levels dropped considerably. Then toe bordering states waked up to what had actually taken place and suits were commenced against toe city ol Chicago. . First, those suits were begun in too federal district courts in Chicago: but in some manner pressure was brought teemed Interminable delays before the matter finally was brought to the su­ preme court on appeal. The supreme court selected one of its former mem­ bers, Charles Evan Hughes.' as relerec to hear all the evidence on troth sides, examine Into the situation and make his report to that court. This was done about a year ago. Mr. Hughes’ report was a sort of compromise. He sus­ tained the authority of the War De­ partment tn granting the permit, but stated that Chicago was not to blame for as much of the lowering of the lakes levels as was claimed. He did not sustain the city in taking more than twice as much water us was author­ ized. The matter flnaUy came before the supreme court on its merits, with briefs filed by all the states interested, in­ cluding Michigan, and arguments heard from attorneys representing the differ­ ent states, including Attorney General Potter of this state. The decision of the highest court holds that Chicago and the sanitary district must curtail Its diversions of Lake Michigan water as soon as is practically possible. The Chicago drainage board and the federal district courts arc sharply crit­ icized for delaying the case and falling to meet the Issues promptly as ihuy ought to have been met. . The decision holds that the diversion of water from the lakes for purely san­ itary purposes is unauthorized by law and therefore illegal. The highest court claims that Chi­ cago created an emergency by its sew­ age disposal methods, which, made it obligatory on the Secretary of War to grant a temporary diversion permit in the interest of navigation. * The court holds that the disobedience of Chicago and tiie sanitary district U proven by the fact that 8.500 cubic feet per second instead of the authorised 4,167 cubic feet per second were divert- ORANGEVILLE. • Floyd Ear! of Plainwell visited his The decision holds that the present perento, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Earl, diversion cannot be justified as an aid to navigation in widening and deepen­ ing of the Chicago river and (lose not The many friends in this vicinl commit congress to a diversion pro­ Mrs. Llbbie Mulled were sorry to grant ' of her passing Friday morning.

During the last four year*, over a hundred six-cylinder motors—rep­ resenting every conceivable type— were built by Chevrolet engineer* and tested on the General Motor* Proving Ground.

From time to time, the experimental model* were torn down for inspec­ tion, redesigning and further testing — until the present motor was de­ veloped and pronounced correct.

Frankly, the [New Pontiac Big Six was designed to appeal to a certain group. True, every motor car owner in America will find in it many things to admire. Two-car families will find it an ideal second car. But the group for which it is primarily intended is made up of people who are beginning to move up in the world. Many of them will soon make the first important step up in the quality of their cars. All are progressive. The New Pontiac Big Six was designed for them. It eomee to them entirely new in appearance. Stunning new bodies by Fisher con- tribute to the big car beauty and big car style presented by the car as a whole. Progressive people are seeking greater luxury. The Pontiac Big Six offers them the luxury, the deep, richly upholstered cushions and the charming appointments for which bodice by Fisher are famous the world over. It provides the smooth-riding qualities of a car 167 inches in overall length, with accu­ rately balanced rotating .mechanical parts and such advance comfort features as adjust­ able drivers’ scats. t It is a six, but more than just a six. It is a six with the added power of a larger L-head engine and the added smoothness imparted by a dynamically balanced, counter-weighted crankshaft and the famous Harmonic Bal­ ancer. It is a six with the added efficiency and silence achieved by means of the G-M-R cylinder head. It is a six with the added colffweather advantages provided by the eroas flow radiator, thermostatically controlled. From fan to rear axle, its “lino of drive" is in accurate dynamic balance. Its new brakes are of the internal four-wheel type which neither mud nor rain nor lee can prevent from operating efficiently. Aa for its performance, you can drive accelerate alongside the finest earn ob tha road. You can teat ita power under any con­ ditions, confident of its ability to pull through. Meanwhile it continues to provide that unmatched dependability for which every Pontiac has been famed. Only a few highlights in its construction have been mentioned. Just enough to prove that the Pontiac Big Six Is entirely new and capable of meeting progressive Americans* demand.

At present his family, consisting of his wife and one small son. are living in Chicago. They have a married daughter who Is also a resi­ dent of Chicago. Before coming into the organization of the Beal Company of this city, Mr. Crawford filled the very responsible place of chairman of the general com­ mittee, transportation division, of the American Railway Association with headquarters at Chicago. He had fill­ ed that position for more ' than 15 years, with great satisfaction to the railroads of this country, all of whom are represented In this organi­ zation. It was quite a surprise to them to team that Mr. Crawford, who had so tong been connected with th* aseocla• ,tton and whose work had given such y genuine satisfaction to both th* rail­ roads and the shippers, wu about to sever his connection with the American Railway Association and take up hlz duties os manager of sales for the Seal Company.

Hastings was saved and breathed a sigh of relief for the reason that the (hough the principal industry of the town was In ruins and a large section that time, though the sad experience was not without Its benefit. Agitation for better fire protection was started and this helped in securing our pres­ ent water system and more adequate fire protection, followed by agitation for more factories. The Spalding factory was not re­ built here and It is especially this to which we wish to refer. Had Hastings at that time had a Chamber of Com­ merce. or a business men's organisation of any kind, the Spalding factory could have been retained. But a good bonus was asked of the dty for the con­ struction of a factory. Evidently there was no one. or no organization, that felt like devoting lhe time and effort to married a sister of A. G. Spalding, was the manager of the Spalding factory here. He liked Hastings as well as the people here and often expressed his re­ gret In having to leave the dty and said that Hastings could have kept this fac­ tory had it put up the necessary bonus. The purpose of this article is to show what Hastings lost when it let the Bpaiding factory get away. The Chi­ cago Journal of Commerce in Its issue of Jan. 10th. contained a four column write up of tha Bpaiding factory. The little factory that was located here has developed Into a very large Institution, with employees numbering way up-In­ to the hundreds and has grown into a corporation with assets of over 814.000.­ 000. In 1828 its sales exceeded 838,000,­ 000 and Its net profits for the year were close to 81.850,000. The factory was al­ ways a money-maker and had it been retained when the opportunity was pre­ sented. it would have paid for itself over and over again In taxes alone, saying nothing of the great contribu­ tion it would have made to the prog­ ress and prosperity of the city tn the constantly increasing employment of labor. Today that one factory alone cipploys labor enough to nearly support a city of this size and perhaps even a larger one.

Notwithstanding all the changes that have come into the world of men—change In manner*, customs, point* of view a* well m scientific in­ novation*—the sound sense of Frank­ lin’s philosophy stand* forth now u clearly u it did Ln the eighteenth cen­ tury. If Benjamin Franklin were to re­ turn to the world today be would see developments that even his great mind and Imagination could never have pictured. But he would nowhere see any phase of life to which his simple teachings ol thrift could not be applied to advantage. * In Franklin's application of thrift principles he wu neither narrow nor indecisive There were a few funda­ mentals upon which he stood and up­ on which all men and all nations must stand if success is to be theirs. Franklin's thrift did not mean mere money saving. It meant thrift of all possession* and resource*. Note the breadth of wisdom compressed in his simple maxim; "Early to bed and early to rLic makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Another point of Franklin's phil­ osophy wu hl* understanding of the values of hardship. As a boy. with an exceedingly limited Income, he lived on vegetable* in order that he might save money with which to buy books. He knew that saving for itself wu without value. He knew that without saving, certain necessary objective* Ln life could never be attained. In our day. inquiry often is made for a system or creed through the prac­ tice* of which personal success will come All such inquirers should turn to the writings of Benjamin Franklin. They need have no fear that the truths they learn from this source will prove obsolete. For the philosophy of Benjamin Franklin Is of no period. Il is of all time.—By 8. W. Straus. TAMARAC CORNERS.

WHOTlMT, UMVtaT ■■ UM WHAT THE MICHIGAN Safety, silence and simplicity are features of the new Ford six-brake system ONE of the first things you will notice when you drive the new Ford ia the quick, effective, silent action of its six-brake system. This system gives you the highest degree of safety and reliability because lhe fourwheel service brakes and the or mechanical, internal ex­ panding type, with braking surfaces fully enclosed for protection against mud. Tho many advantages of this type of braking system have long l>cen recognized. They are bro t to you in the new Fo through a eerie# of mechanical im­ provements embodying much that is new in design and manufacture. A particu­ larly unique feature is the simple way by which a spe­ cial drum has been con­ structed to permit the use of two sets of internal brakes on the rear wheels. A further improvement in braking performance is effected by the self-center­ ing feature of the fourwheel brakes — an this construction, tho entire brought in steady, uniform contact with tho drum tho instant you press your foot on the brake pedal. This Erevents screeching and owling and makes the Ford brakes unusually silent in operation. Another feature of the Ford brakes is the ease of adjustment. The four-wheel brakes are adjusted by turning a screw conveniently located on the outside of each brake plate. This screw is so notched that all four brakes can be set alike simply by listening to the “clicks.*’ Tho emergency or park­ ing brakes on the new Ford require little attention. How­ ever, should they need ad­ justment at any time, con­ sult your Ford dealer for prompt, courteous, and eco­ nomical service. He works under close factory super* vision and he has been spe­ cially trained and equipped to help you get the greatest possible use from your car over the longest period of time at a mini­ mum of trouble and expense.

PRESIDENT MADE TIMELY RADIO ADDRESS ON MON­ DAY AFTERNOON HE URGED ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT EXPENSES States and Cities, He Thinks, Should Reduce, Not In­ crease Their Debts No doubt many of our readers Ibtened over the radio Monday afternoon to a talk on thrift by President Cool­ idge. Such a talk Is certainly needed not only by the national government, but by our state and local governments os weU. The President believes that our prosperity Is in danger unless thrift b practiced by all types of government state, national and city, as well as by Indlvlduab. He declared that the con­ tinual welfare of our country is depend­ ent upon economy. The President, who has Insisted upon | a clear-cut. accurate federal budget be­ ing made and lived up to. recommend­ ed that the same Idea be carried out in cities, counties and states, in order that there might be economy In aU public business. Everybody recognizes what has been accomplished by our riatlonal govern­ ment under the leadership of Mr. Cool­ idge. Because of hb insbtence upon economy in government expenditures and faithful living up to the budget for each department, there has resulted the wonderful financial record which has been made under his wise leader­ ship. Of course we will all always give due credit to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, whose grasp of finances and whose hearty cooperation with the President have made possible a reduc­ tion of nearly a billion dollars a year In the national debt of thb country for the past eight years. It would be well If states and cities would heed the wise suggestion'of our President on the urgent need of econ­ omy. But we will have to say that Hastings Is not in need of that advice.

As a matter ot fact a number of bills for tliat purpose are being consid­ ered right now. It shows that Michigan to becoming an oil state. A bill ha* been Introduced by Sena­ tor Atwood to create the office of *upervtoor of well* and to prescribe hto power* and duties and to provide reg­ ulations for the locating, sinking, drill­ ing. casing, deepening, operating, aban­ doning and plugging of oil and gas wells and test hole*, and »o provide for permits for the same. Another bill has been Introduced by Senator Howell to levy an annual li­ cense or privilege tax on all corpora­ tions. associations qr person* engaged In severing oil and gas from the ground, to prescribe the methods of collecting the license and provide that the oil men shall make report*. Senator Van Eenenaam Introduced a bill to regulate the issuance of stocks, bonds and other securities by oil men and companies. . Senator Skinner has offered a bill to regulate those who are engaged in the transportation of natural gas through pipe lines, and Senator Barnard has proposed a bill to regulate those who transport crude oil or petroleum or its products through pipe line*. In all these bills the desire i* to pro­ tect the people of the state of Michigan and to bring the drilling of oil under the control of state authorities, espec­ ially of the Conservation Department. Another bin provides for the levying of a three percent tax on the value of all crude oil and gas that may be sold from oil wells In Michigan. There has been some protest upon this a* exces­ sive: but It would hardly seem to be so Another bill provide* for the regula­ tion and drilling of oil wells and test holes and requires a license fee to be paid before such drilling can be under­ taken. For the benefit of tho»e who may consider themselves aggrieved by any order, rule, regulation or requirement of the supervisor of well* or hto repre­ sentative. an oil and gasjippeal board is to be created. This board would be composed of tiie Governor, the secre­ tary' of state and the attorney general, ft provides that appeal* may be made within 24 hours after the attempted en­ forcement of an objectionable order and hearing must be held within five days after the appeal. A decision of the board to to be final and not subject to appeal. Many provisions In these bill* wr have not the space to mention; but all of them arc designed to protect both the oil companies and the owners of land upon which oil wells may be lo­ cated.

BOARD CANNOT DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO COMMITTEE Attorney General Brucker Has Ruled That Board Alone Has Authority to Audit Bills The supervisors of this county desire to reduce costs to the lowest practic­ able limit la doing the county's busi­ ness. As everybody knows, one of the essentials in getting close prices to a cash deal, or substantially cash pay­ ments. The supervisors desired to ap­ point a committee with authority to audit the bills, say once a month, so that the county might have the benefit ot lower costs. Accordingly. County Clerk M. O. Hill requested an opinion ot Attorney General Brucker on this matter. Mr. Brucker ruled, cn Wednes­ day tost in an opinion sent to Mr. HUI. that the board could not, under the constitution of this state, delegate to any body or committee the right to audit and allow claims against the county. This power, Attorney General Brucker held, to vested by law in the board of supervisors and no other body.

The re­ port for the business done by that in­ stitution for the year 1928 was very creditable. There were received at the qreamary 1,434,598 pounds of cream, which contained 479.383 pound* of but­ ter fat, from which a total of 598 548 pound* of butter were made. The gross sales of butter, buttermilk and eggs handled by the creamery reached 1282,­ 480.71. They paid patron* for butter­ fat 8342.026.09 and paid patrons for eggs 87.089.65. The expense of con­ ducting the Institution was 833,770.51. The creamery has in its reserve fund 85.189.18. The stockholders of the Nashville Creamery, which to conducted on the cooperative plan, unanimously reelect­ ed their old directors and expressed their satisfaction In other ways with the result* of the year's business. The directors suggested, but without recommendation, that there be added to the equipment ot the plant a drum milk evaporator. This would increase the amount invested in the plant to nearly double the present inventory ot machinery, so the directors felt that they did not wish to recommend it to the patrons, but called their attention to the advantages it would give the creamery If they had such an equip­ ment The patrons were evidently quite interested. They asked the directors to make further investigations and. within the next six week*, to call another meeting of the stockholders for specisl consideration of the subject of the milk evaporator. Freeport Creamery held >to annual meeting on the 23rd of January. Tne total receipt* from the sale of butter were 8205.000. The average price per pound paid to the patrons during the year for butterfat wa* 53c. The annual report showed there was a good balance in the operating fund and a comfort­ able sum placed at interest for possible future use. 74c AT THE STRAND.

With fair lease* and with a county­ wide movement, there ought to be no trouble In having Barry county’* oil possibilities developed if we have the oil. The next step Is naturally that of having a company formed that will be in a position, and financially able, to lead off In the development work. The experience in the rapid development of the Muskegon field proves that such development work will be more rapid, and therefore more to the Interest of the property owner, when carried off by a local company, who have only one Interest and that Is to get the biggest possible production out of the field. If a big oil company came to. their con- then develop them In their own sweet ■time; and they would not be in any hurry about IL The experience of Muskegon has shown beyond question that the fairest and swiftest develop­ ment of new territory like Barry county will take place only after a com­ pany Is on the Job that is directly in­ terested to having a rapid development made. The Commercial Club of this city has put itself behind a movement, for, and it* committee has guaranteed the for­ mation of. a 1100.000 oil development company when 100.000 acres of land shall be under lease. The persons who guarantee this proposition will see it through. The alm Is to get at least 6,000 acres lensed In every township. «s far as possible In solid block*. There I* every desire and purpose to have this development done os a Barry county movement. Nor, one will be urged to take stock in the proposed company, because It Is recognized that it Is a purely speculative proposition. Nobody knows that oil will be found to Barry county. But If It Is found, stock In the company will be a fine asset for anybody. Outsiders stand ready to take stock to It if they have the chance; but the plan is to open it to Barry county people first. If they will take the entire amount of the capital stock themselves, or a majority of It, it will be a Barry county corporation, officered and con­ trolled by Barry county people. With­ in 30 days after the leases are made and turned over to the company, which will be formed, stock will be offered to everybody In Barry county. Shares will be 350 each and no one will be per­ mitted to take more than 20 shares, the alm being not to have It within the control of a few, but to have it a coun­ ty-wide affair. It is hoped that many will take stock in this company and that it may be representative of every section of the county. When the company Is formed then the active work of making a survey of the county to locate oil structures will follow. This will be done by expert geologists of wide experience In such matter* who will have the meet com­ plete outfit for locating possible oil rt rupture When these are located by the in­ strument* which these geologists will bring with them, the next thing will be to find the extent of such structures. That will mean test borings or core drillings. That Is. holes two Inches in diameter will be pul down to some rock i structure that will evidence the forma- 1 Uon that underlies It. If these Indicate I that there I* a fold In the rock, and 1 thereby confirms the findings with In­ struments which the geologUts have used, then there will follow drilling for oil.

He made a fine Impres­ sion on nil who heard him or met him a student, completing a post graduate course at Yale, and was afterward a professor at Yale university for some time, finally coming to Olivet where he is making a splendid record. President Vestling spoke of the youth of today. It was not a pessimistic talk by any means. He thought the great trouble at the present time 1* that most people who criticize the young folks do not know them. The elders think they are light and flippant, when us a mat­ ter of fact they are as deeply interested in serious problems os any previous generation of young folks.

Especially should parents seek to understand the altitude and thought of the young folks in the home. If they would give time and thought to It and attempt It fro mthe helpful and not a criticizing standpoint, they will bet somewhere. In this connection the writer has been impressed in reading that timely book “The Not Quite Puritans.” It apj>ear3 that 300 years ago it was Just a* much the fashion to criticize the young people and remark upon their forward ways as it is today.

There is nothing political about the position of a circuit or supreme court judge. Hls work is to interpret the law, to define the law and apply It to the cases that may come before the court. Il Is necessary that a circuit Judge or ' a supreme court Judge be placed in as independent a position as possible, so that he can make hls decisions, not with a view to what may or may not be popular, but solely with a view to hav­ ing them in accord with the law. It is significant that Just across the Detroit river in Canada there is far better enforcement of the law tiian we have on this side of the border. One of the reasons, we think the principal rea­ son. is because Judges there are ap­ pointed for life and hold office during good behavior, and prosecuting attor­ neys are appointed by the government for set terms and do not have to think about whether what they do will meet with public favor, but solely whether what they do is Ln harmony with the law. Tiie wide respect paid to the decis­ ions of the United Stales supreme court are. we believe, due very largely to the fact that they are appointive of­ fices. chosen by the President because of fitness to serve as Judges and will hold their positions during their life­ time. Having no thought of politics to govern hls selection, the President chooses without regard to politics and with the sole idea of fitness for the place. It will be remembered that when Wm. H. Taft was President of the Uni­ ted States he selected as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Justice White, a democrat of Louisiana. We believe Michigan will be better served If we have for our judges men selected by the Governor, with the sole view of their fitness for the place. We are all anxious for a belter enforce­ ment of the law. We believe that ap­ pointed Judges would be a step In the right direction. One and practically tho only objec­ tion to having circuit Judges named by the Governor, instead of chosen by the voters, is that if a Judge becomes un­ fit. in the Judgment of the majority, to continue in his office or if he should make decisions that outrage public sen­ timent he cannot be reached. It might be well to have them subject to recall on the petition of 25 percent of the voters. We do not want Judges who hold the people in contempt, but we do not want them to be influenced by pub­ lic clamor, but guided solely by the re­ quirements of the law. lbs.. 11.00: wood. 8125 per cord.

M. Brower of Consumers Power Co., today announced tho organization of an Industrial De­ velopment Department by the Allied Power and Light Corporation. This new department will co-ordinate witit CdMumera* personnel In Michigan ta a plan to cooperate with and supple­ ment the work of local communities, tiictr Chambers of Commerce and sim­ ilar civic bodies in bringing new indus­ tries to Michigan. This work has been carried on for several years by the various compan­ ies now affiliated with the Allied Cor­ poration, according to Mr. Brower and tho new department not only -will serve to consolidate the activities ot the various companies but will pro­ vide a central clearing house and will make available to each community ex­ pert engineering and economic advice and data for directing Industrial pro­ motion efforta along constructive ond effective channels. • Fred W. Hoover, former Vice Prc.ildent of Consumers Power Company and later Vice President of HodcnpyL Hardy Securities Corporation has es­ tablished headquarters at Jackson. Mich., and will have at hte disposal all the expert engineering resources pt Stevens and Wood. Incorporated, a subsidiary of the Allied CorporkUon specializing in major engineering and construction projects. Engineers now are engaged in the work of collecting data bearing on all the basic indus­ tries of the United States from which surveys will be made furnishing ac­ curate. scientific information as to the essential local requirement* which will Influence Industrial leaders in their choice of local ions for manufacturing institutions. These Industrial surveys, according to Mr. Brower will be supplemented by scientific studies of the various com­ munities served by Consumers and other utility companies affiliated with the Allied Power and Light Corpora­ tion. Resources peculiar to each com­ munity ateo will be studied and tabu­ lated. and made available to any in­ dustrial organization which contem­ plates either the moving of it* plant or a de-centrallzation of It* manufac­ turing operations. The Industrial’De­ velopment will go farther than this and take the initiative, wherever pos­ sible, ta bringing to the attention of Industrial executives elsewhere in the country, the special advantages of lo­ cations within Consumers territory in Michigan. “Mr. Hoover laid special stress upon the fact liiot this department has no thought of usurping the prerogatives of local chambers of commerce." said Mr. Brower. He explained that ths department's work, at all times, must be coordinate with the efforts of the various chambers of commerce. ■ Mr. Hoover said: “ 'We can do a lot of effective pre­ liminary work and supply the local chambers with a mass of valuable da­ ta and information which will be help­ ful in guiding and confining their ac­ tivities and enthusiasm to channels which promise tho greatest degree of permanent, constructive benefit to their communities. Primarily our fork will be of an advisory nature. We can work out specifications for them, based on sound scientific and economic prin­ ciples. We can indicate what indus­ tries are available and which arc suitable as a permanent asset in their community. But. ta the last analysis, it will have to be the chamber of com­ merce or some other local industrial development agency, which brings the new industry into the community and get* the credit for the accomplish­ ment. *' 'Allied Power and Light Corpora­ tion will have 1U reward for any achievement of this character ta which ite Industrial Development Depart­ ment has been helpful, ta the building ‘ up of the communities ite affiliated > companies serve. After all. we • can grow and prosper no faster than the territory in which we operate. Mr. Brower stated Hurt Mr. Hoover and the Stevens and Wood engineering personnel have been engaged in pre­ liminary work for several months. Each of th* fifteen district managers and contact men ta their district for the new Industrial Development De­ partment. District managers, accord­ ing to Mr. Brower, will keep in touch with their own chambers of commerce and cooperate with them in every way designed to capitalize the advantages of the new Industrial Development Department for the benefit of their own communities, FARM LIGHT PLANT ILLUMINATES HOLY CROSS IN JLHURALI’.M.

Already there te in this fund something like >36.000 or 627,000. The bonded tadebtednrea for the building of tho new High school building, which was >!(«.000, has been steadily reduced and will next year be entirely wiped out. By that time it te expected that the sinking fund for the new building will have reached well toward the 650,000 mark, near enough probably so that the school board will feel warranted In starting tho building of the first o! the three unite of grade school. Junior high and assembly and gymnasium building. The council has decreased the bonded indebtedness of this city until it amounts to less than >6.000. if you leave out the total that will be paid by abut­ ting property owners on the paving bonds. The city has In a sinking fund to retire this nmall amount of bonds, the sum of >3,000. which will be in­ creased next year so that practically the entire amount of existing city bonds will be provided for. Not many years ago Hastings owed something over 630,­ 000 in dty bonds and >108,000 in school bonds The dty is paying these and te not adding a dollar to its bonded debt, but retires them as rapidly as ixwslble. It plans to carry on ite business in the future on the pay-as-you-go plan. This can be done readily enough, unless some calamity should require a big ex­ penditure aU at once.

That plant will undoubtedly cost much more mon­ ey than was anticipated, because the State Board of Health lias insisted up­ on a thorough Job. But the city has about >11.000 to the sewer fund now. It will add a considerable amount when the summer taxes are levied and will thta year be enabled to do a consider­ able part of the construction work on the new plant. Next year or the follow­ ing one it Will be completed, and It will be done without a bond teaue. Whatever funds are needed will be borrowed on short time, m the charter may permit. If the building cannot be completed in 1830. it wUl be delayed until 1931. be­ cause of the city's determination to finish the Job without selling a single bond. A dty which proceeds on such a plan surely does not need to worry about ite debts, nor about putting heavy burdens upon those who shall live ta Hastings In future years. It is a sane, sensible way to carry on a government. It Is following tho example of ths United States government ta paying debts rather than ta adding to •them.

He brought It in and attempted to thaw It out over a gas stove In the kitchen, which te built onto the house. The oil In tho pump, as it became heat­ er. boiled out onto Die gas stove, setting fire to the kitchen, which was used os a washroom Instead of a kitchen. An partment responded quickly. They thought they had the fire subdued, as they had put out the blase in the old kitchen. The firemen apparently did not notice that tho fire had started to go up the partition and was burning its way into the house Itself, so they left. They bad been gone but a few minutes when It was discovered that tho flames were doing heavy damage In the house itself, so the department was recalled. This time they had a stubborn fight. The fire had gotten into the roof as well as into the siding. It was a hard fob to subdie the fire and the water damage will probably be large. Mr. Matthews estimates the damage to the house at about 41.000. How much the mined at this writing, but it will be a considerable without doubt, os it was necessary to use a large quantity of water in fighting the flames. The loss is fully covered by Insurance. Mr. Matthews himself' was In bed whan the fire started, recovering from the effects of a severe case of flu; but he was gotten out from the house and taken to the home of hls daughter, Mr. and Mrs. R.

EINSTEIN HAS NEW THEORY OF GRAVITATION It Appears Quite Revolutionary —Startling Suggestions Are Made About It Dr. Einstein, the noted German scientist, who seems to stand high In the world of science, has announced hls conclusion that there Is a close rela­ tionship between electricity, magnetism and gravitation. HL, conclusion is also that a time may come when, in some manner, the effect of gravitation may be overcome to such an extent that persons and materials like airships can be made to float through the air, free from grav­ itation. As anyone can easily imagine there would be a good many dangers connected with the suspension of grav­ itation. If It can be suspended. Where a person would land would be an Im­ portant consideration, which would probably incline most folks not to fool with attempts to do away with grav­ itation, but to be content to stay on thl* old earth Just os It is. and let gravita­ tion have her own sweet way.

EVERY FARM NEEDS Agricultural Extension Department Intemattenal Harvester Company. Mrs. Clara Mishler. Extension news VALUES choicer varieties or kinds may not (tend some sort adapted to every section. If the weather conditions will not permit the growing of peaches or sweet cher­ ries, for Instance, the hybrid plums and cherries will fill tho place sathfsctorily. Varieties of apples to fit all sections are now available. Pears wlU grow over a wide range of country. • The main object of the home orchard b to provide fruit for the family. For thb reason kinds and varieties should be chosen that will extend the season from early until late and provide a storage supply tor winter. Tho home orchard should not be too large. Thb b tho case many times and It results ta neglect. Make a wise choice of varieties according to tht» fruit and family de­ mands. It b always desirable to have more varieties ta the ' home orchard than ta commercial orcliards. With proper selection seven to ten varieties of apples can well be included ta the home supply collection. Choose from tilt earliest varieties through to those having best keeping qualities for win­ ter storage. Do not put to too many trees of one variety of any fruit. An arce orchard well cared for b a valu­ able asset to any farm and will provide much healthful and enjoyable food. Don’t make the common mbtake of set­ ting the tree* too close together. Give them plenty of room and develop large, healthy, fruiting tops. Close planting I forces the trees to grow tall and slender • with fruit produced far out toward the I ends of branches where it Is subject to blowing around in the wind and where it b difficult to spray and pick. Close planting cannot be remedied by prun­ ing. Many old home orchards could be made much more profitable by thinning out. The trees must have plenty of light to make fruit buds and produce good crops. The care of the orchard Is very im­ portant, and good fruit can no longer be produced where trees ore left to shift for themselves with Insects and diseases in full swing. In Jhe first place a suitable site should be fleeted. Have plenty of moisture, yet the drain­ age. both air and water, must be con­ sidered. It Is always better to have the home orchard convenient to the build­ ings Have the land fertile and in good shape before planting to trees. Trees wont thrive well on poor worn-out soil Line out the rows so they will be straight and neat. Trees may be planted either In the fall or spring. Where winter tempera­ tures do not go much below zero fall planting is n good practice. The averr age fanner had better buy good, strong, healthy two-year-old trees to set out. as the top framework Is already started, provided they have been propagated In a reliable nursery. Vigorous growth of the young trees is desired and cultivation with attention being given to soil fertility is Importverely at setting time and only enough to give desired form and structure af­ terwards. Bearing orchards can well be man­ aged with the sod mulch system, and for the average farm orchard this is probably the wise method of handling, providing a good mulch Is maintained. Cultivation with leguminous cover crops will prove very satisfactory in maintaining an orchard. Thorough spraying is the only insur­ ance of clean fruit, and there U no sub­ stitute for fungicides and insecticides. A good barrel outfit will do a very etfectlve Job in spraying a small home orchard. Fruit to keep for winter should be hand picked and carefully handled to prevent bruising. A bruised fruit or one with broken skin will not keep veil in storage. Take care of yeur orchard. It will pay you. OBITUARY. Ethel E. Jones Lane was born June 20, 1884 near Saginaw.

The equipment on the truck stress the Importance of good quality in dairy products and the models which it carries will assist in obtain­ ing higher grade milk. The Michigan Milk Producers As­ sociation will cooperate with the Col­ lege for the meetings to be held in three counties in the Thumb district: Tuscola. Sanilac, and Huron. Local arrangements for the places of meeting In each county are being made by the county agricultural agents. The schedule for the truck is Tusco­ la. Feb. 11.

We have entered the new year and are now looking forward with more er less confidence as to the economic fu­ ture of the country'That we may have such confidence seems to be Justi­ fied by al) the developments of the post few months. The election is over and President-elect Hoover will take office on the fourth of March. The change of administrations will be made with­ out any interruption to the official and private business of the nation. It is ’ not expected that there will be any radical change in the policies of the new administration and for this rea­ son the people in general are expect­ ing "business as usual" after the fourth of March. | One of the best ways of Juding the future is by the past, and we can re| fleet with satisfaction that the year 1928 was a satisfactory one. The catnpalgn brought no interruption to bus­ iness and the progress ot the country continued unabated. The same ought । to be the case in 1029 During the year 1928. according to the report of Robert M. Davis, statistical engineer of the McGraw-Hill Publishing Com­ pany. production gained, seven per cent over the high figures of 1927. Tiie I automobile Industry Increased its bu»riness thirty per coal. The industrial activity of the last month of the year was seventeen per cent greater than the activity in December. 1927. which is one of the most encouraging signs of the industrial future. Mr. Davis pre­ dicts an even better showing for the first quarter of 1929 and he has the following to say of conditions in gen­ eral: •'Operations in industry by sections of the country reveal that the North Cen­ tral States in 1928 made a gain over the preceding year of 15 per cent. The Middle Atlantic section experienced an average increase in plant activity of 14 per cent over 1927; the Western States showed a gain of five per cent De­ spite the slump in textile operations in the first half of the year, industrial ac­ tivity in the New England Stales was on an average about the same os in 1927. and some five per cent greater than in 1926. Manufacturing plants in the South failed to maintain the large annual growth recorded since the World War. but have actually re­ gistered a decline for 1928 of about two per cent, compared with the 1927 level. "As for the immediate future, the favorable economic factors outweigh the unfavorable, and the first quarter of 1929 is almost certain to witness manufacturing activity of high order The favorable factors are the general confidence in the political situation, decrease in unemployment and con। Untied upward trend of wages with tiie I cost of living about stationary, in­ I creased purchasing power of the agri­ cultural population, maintenance of minimum Inventories by wholesalers । and manufacturers and Increased ex­ ports. Chief among the unfavorable factors are the frenzied stock market speculation and high money rates. The trend toward price-cutting to Increase the volume of sales, the incomplete ag­ ricultural recovery, and excessive in­ stallment buying also are somewhat dubious factors." The heads of the various industrial I groups of the country, according to all newspaper reports, ore confident to the | business outlook in 1929. and it is to be remembered that confidence is at least half the battle if not- more. Let us therefore expect general prosperity in 1929 and if we rtcpect it. It is more than likely that It will arrive and con­ tinue to abide with the naUon during 1 the year. Constructive assistance is expected of the new administration and there Is no 1 reason to feel that the country.will not get it. It is generally conceded, outside i of partisan politics, and by leaders of both great parties, that the new adminisiralion is big enough for the job.

The characters were excep­ tionally well selected and splendidly adapted to their roles. Miss Elsa Nehmcr had the lead, tak­ ing the part of Lady Mary, and was really a “star." Supl. Van Buskirk as the English butler. "The Admirable Crichton." was also splendid. His formal dignity as the butler, and his "regal" manner as the “Gov" when stranded on the island, were exceedingly well done. Miss Ruth M. Robson as "Tweenle." the kitchen girl, afforded a lot of laughs by her clever acting anti quaint expresexcellent Interpretation of the egotisti­ cal young Englishman.

REGISTER BOYES CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW IT HAPPENED But It Happened His Oar Jump­ ed the Road and Hit a Tree —No Serious Results Register of Deeds Earl Boyes and Mrs. Boyes started for Kalamazoo Bun­ day. They had a very good reason for not arriving st their destination. The Prairieville road Is very icy. In the middle of the road almost all -the way there Is a glare of ice. with a little skimming of snow on the sides that helps to bold a car In its track; but sometimes strange things happen. They did to Earl. He says he will never know Just how It was done, but the first tiling he knew his car was out of the track, near the Forest Weaver farm in Rutland, and headed straight for n big oak tree, with which It connected very shortly. The automobile was much the worse for the encounter. Fortunately Mr. and Mrs. Boyes escaped with only slight bruises. At the time of the mishap Earl was wearing a pair of spectacles and he had his hat on. He still had his hat on af­ ter the collision occurred, but In some mysterious manner his spectacles dis­ appeared when his car hit the tree. He thought that probably they had. been lost in the snow. He was surprised when they were found s little later re­ posing ®n the back seat of his car. Just before this accident happened to him another car had jumped the trade just a few rods west, but It didn't do any damage to either the auto or the occupants. With the help of others the other car was put back in the track and sent skimming down the lee at 35 miles an hour. In calf, reptile skins, antelope and pin seal.

Committees Bepresenting Two Churches Agree to Union— No Difference in Creed At the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which was held in Kansas City last spring, a reso­ lution was unanimously passed and forwarded to the Presbyterian General Assembly, then In session at Oklahoma City, requesting a joint meeting ot rep­ resentatives of the two denominations with a view of the union of the two churches. Last week representatives of Uie two denominations met in Pittsburgh and practically agreed that a union was In every way desirable and passible which would unite two denominations having a membership of over 6,000.000. with adherents of probably that many more. Eugene M. Antrim, of Oklahoma City, secretary of the Joint committee said: *'Our beliefs, our doctrines. In fact everything about the two denomina­ tions are so similar that union is al­ most inevitable." The conference of the joint committees resulted in a de­ cision to proceed with formulating plans for a union of the two churches. The Presbyterian officials also met with officials of the United Presby­ terian church, looking to a similar union of the two Presbyterian bodies. The United Presbyterians have o membership of approximately 200.000 with national headquarters nt Pitts­ burgh. The conference which won held Wed­ nesday of last week of the two com­ mittees representing the two denomi­ nations wm not open to the public, but was attended by high church offi­ ciate from Chicago, Detroit. Buffalo, New York, Baltimore. Columbus, Washington and Philadelphia. There would seem to bo every reason why these two denominations should unite. MILLER FURNITURE CO.

This limlU wild speculative profits as well as dis- drop like it did recently. As it was. the majority of security buyers were not forced to sell but can await a re­ vival in prices. Thus a panic was un­ doubtedly averted. Securities are like any other commo­ dity and subject to the law of supply and demand. If dumped wholesale on the market through force of necessity because margins are insufficient to cover drop in prices, the resulting loss is os disastrous as occurs when a crop is dumped through inability of pro­ ducers to hold the same.

New York state tile Baumes Crime Commission is expected to en­ deavor to amend the jury law at the 1929 session of the legislature. One of Die chief difficulties is in se­ curing Intelligent Jurors. Inconven­ iences met with; lime lost by talesmen from business; "old-fashioned, obso­ lete'' statutes covering jury duty; low pay of jurymen and the many exemp­ tions that have been made by law make "one wander that any intelli­ gent jury is ever obtained," says the commission. ■ Those who are urging a change say that the present body of the Jury duty law is In many respects archaic and does not sene a useful purpose today. Similar conditions will be found in all states and it has been suggested that a study of all state laws relating to Jury duty be made for the purpose of eliminating parts which have become obsolete. The intelligence of Jurymen and quick selection of a jury has a marked effect upon the proper expeditious ad­ ministration of the law. Courts be­ come confused and interest Is often last in cases where proceedings are slowed up by out-of-date technicalities of law which are applied to selecting Juries and trying criminals. Improvements In the means of ap­ prehending. trying and punishing criminals, in a speedy manner, will do more to reduce crime than all the anti-revolver laws, which affect only law-abiding citizens, that can be pro­ posed or passed Let the heavy hand not on the individual who minds his own business and respects the rights ‘ ‘ of others.

RADIO AND THE EUtCTinw The election of 1928 Is ths first po­ litical contest in this country In which radio broadcasting has played an Im­ portant role. The radio was employed to a limited extent in the campaign of 1924, but the number at listeners at that time was only a small fraction of what it is today. Never . before have the voters had such opportunities to acquaint themselves not only with the issues but even with something of the personalities of the candidates. The voters listened tn on the nomi­ nating conventions at Houston and Kansas City; they heard the candi­ dates deliver their speeches of ac­ ceptance and they have since heard numerous appeals from the chief spokesmen of both parties.

This single Item gives an idM of the latest values that still remain In Gov­ ernment-owned land. •'While the ares of land still remaining in public owner •ship," said President Coolidge In hi* re­ cent message to Congress, "is small compared with the vast area in private ownership, the natural resources of those In public ownership are of Im­ mense present and future value. This Is particularly true os to minerals and water power.” There are half a million acres of phosphate land, says a statement from the Department of the Interior, that can supply 8,000.000.000 tana of this es­ sential fertilizer as its need on Ameri­ can farms is better realised. There is an undetermined acreage of potash de­ posits, the beat of which'yet discovered are on public lands. There are 65 de* veloped oil and gas fields with ah an­ nual production of 33.000,000 barrels of oil There are 4.000,000 acres of oil shale from which possibly 60.000.000.000 barrels of oil can be extracted when high prices arrive to warrant the high­ er cost. The general policy of the federal Government as reflected in recent leg­ islation is to retain the ownership ot the principal natural resources of its /remaining public lands, permitting the development of three resources only under lease or permit. In order to car­ ry out this policy it la necessary to ex­ amine and classify all the public lands with reference lo their highest use or value.

While tho counties which are gen­ erally accepted as the premier potato growing sections of the state have the greater number of names on the honor roll, the membership te located all the way from Kalamazoo to Manistique. The three practices which were used universally by these growers were planting certified seed, application of fertilizer, and spraying with a machine which operated at 250 pounds pressure These growers used on average of 800 pounds of fertilizer to the acre, but their costs for producing a bushel of potatoes was less than that of the aver­ age grower. More growers produced crops which made them eligible for membership In the club than in any previous year. The best yield was secured by Alphonse Verschure, Mantetlque, with 490 bushels of Russet Rurate per acre. MICHIGAN WEATHER. Said I to wife the other day.

A plentiful supply'Of drinking water Is essential if cows are lo produce large quantities of milk. 'All of this water Is heated to body temperature after the cow drinks it. and this heating must be done by the fuel within the animal’s body, her feed. The only way to save this waste of grain is to heat the wuier before the cow drinks it Automatic watering systems whlcn supply clean, warm water for the cow all of the time when she is in her stall are ideal for winter dairying, but when this system is impossible, the supply tank from which cows drink should be equipped with a heater which will take the chill off the drinking water. The water which the cow drinks as­ sists to convey her food through the digestive system, maintains vitality and health, and aids in the efficient pro­ duction of milk Insufficient supplies of water affect al! of these bodily func­ tions, and the cow which is forced to drink ice cold water will drink as little as possible. The average cow produces only 15 pounds of milk dally but she drinks 50 pounds of water each day. To heat this water to body temperature will require from two to three cents worth of feed. High producing cows may drink as much as 100 pounds of water daily and the cost of heating this water with feed will be proportionately higher. ASSYRIA.

A Personal Incident—Our editor left the BANNER office a, little after nine o'clock on Tuesday evening to go to hb evening was very dark but a good cross­ walk brought him to the south side of Blate street. After getting nearly to the east side of Goodgear's block he might have been observed, had not Im­ penetrable darkness prevailed, to move forward In a very stealthy and uncer- THE new Ford ia exception­ ally easy to ateer because of the well • proportioned weight of the car, the steel­ spoke wheels, the co-ordi­ nated design of springs and shock absorbers, the size and design of the steering wheel, and the simple me­ chanical construction of the steering gear. The Ford steering gear is of the worm and sector type used on high-priced cars and is three-quarter irreversible. In simple, non-teehnlcal language, this means that the car responds easily and quickly to the steering wheel, yet there is no danger of the wheel being Jerked from tho hands of the driver by ruts or bumps in the road. A light touch guides the car, yet you always have that necessary feel-of-lhe-road so essential to good driving. Strength of materials and careful workmanship give unusual stability to the Ford steering gear and housing. the shaft and worm to* gether. The steering worm sector is forged and ma­ chined in the same piece with its shaft. The housing of the steer­ ing gear medianism is made of three steel forgings, elec­ trically welded together. This housing is then electri­ cally welded to the steering column. Such a one-piece steel unit is naturally much sturdier than if several parts were used and bolted or riv­ eted together. Throughou t, the new Ford steering mechanism is so simple in design and so care­ fully made that it requires practically no attention. The only thing for you to do is to have the front steer­ ing spindles, spindle con­ necting rods, and drag link lubricated every 500 miles and the steering gear lubri­ cated every 2000 miles. For this work, you will find it beet to consult the Ford dealer.

The three major qualities which I believe a man must possess in order to succeed as a salesman are: Sincerity. Enthusiasm, and Persistency. He must be sincere, frank, open and honest; he must be sincerely enthusiastic about his proposition.'and he must keep on making calls, rain or shine, happy or blue, every hour of the working day.

Pen­ nock Hospital is a Barry county institution. It ha* cared for over 8,000 patient* since it was erected, 65 per cent coming from outside this city. It gives fine service at cheaper rate* than big city hospital*. Every resident of Barry county will be interested in promoting the success of this benefit. Reserved seats for Tuesday and Wednesday eve­ nings, February 19th and 20th, will be placed on sale at Carveth & Stebbins* drug store, Hastings, on Sat­ urday morning, February 16th, in order to give those living outside the city the chance to secure reserved seats if they desire. Take your tickets there and by paying 25 cents per seat extra, you can get reserved seat tickets until all are sold. We want Pennock Hospital to get all the benefit from these entertainments. There will be quite a lit­ tle expense attached in the way of postage, printing, rental of costumes, etc., and ini order to defray some of this overhead, we have reserved a portion of the seats in order to help carry the expense. The men who are putting on thia entertainment have given many thousands of dollars for the con­ struction and maintenance of Perinock Hospital. In addition to this fpr the past six weeks they have given up two or three nights each week for practice, besides all the time involved in mailing out tickets, attending to sales, and looking after many, many other little de­ , tails that take lota of titfie. All this has been cheer­ fully done in order to create a fund toward the build­ ing of a new nurses’ home. Pennock Hospital is open to all the people of Barry county when sickness or accident comes. The committee had no way of so­ liciting the people of Barry county in a personal way and in order to get as much money for the above ben­ efit as possible, felt justified in mailing out two tickets to people in this county with the request that they purchase them if inclined and able to do so, and either remit for them or return the tickets by Wednesday, February I 3th. Up to this time the sale of tickets has been very gratifying, but there are a great many letters still unheard from, so please help us out by a remittance or return of the tickets not later than Sat­ urday, February 16th, so that your name may be checked off the list. Remittances can be made to H. G. Hayes, Cashier of Hastings National Bank, who is also Treasurer of Pennock Hospital. You will be interested in having the hospital serv­ ice increased-so that no Barry county patient need be refused because of lack of room. The ticket commit­ tee feel sure that they _ can n count on your coco-oneration in extending the service of Pennock Hospital. Two years ago for the benefit of the Hospital Laundry fund the Rotary Club put on a Minstrel Show and handed over to the Hospital a little over $ 1,600, the entire net proceeds. • • ' We would like to do a* well this time. To do so we must have the co-operation of all friends of the Hospital. All connected with the show are busy folks, who donate their time for weeks to practice for the two entertainments. The members of the or­ chestra give their services. The school board donates the auditorium. Every cent except actual expenses will go directly into the fund for building a nurses’ home. We believe you will be glad to help. It is a pleasure to note the interest the people of Barry county are taking by not only purchasing their tickets, but a great many have already remittea from one dollar to ten dollars in addition to the Drice of their tickets. We have also had one $100 < and there are rumors of others of good size.

They would hold their maximum flow ot milk over a longer period of time than if no grain was fed. Twenty-four members hove alfalfa on their farms and seven have sweet clover seedings. The alfalfa acreage seems to be rapidly increasing every year, lowering the cost of production considerably. Ninety samples of skim milk were taken this year. Several rechecks were made after defaults in skimming were discovered. Had these losses not been disclosed an unbelievable amount of money would be wasted in the form of butterfat. This is quite reasonable when the total production of the cows tn the Association amounts to 1,925305 lbs. of milk, and the separators would be off a small percent. Barry Connty ranks as one of th.? best counties in the state In dairying. The outlook on dairying for the future Is very bright. Dairy Herd Improve­ ment Associations are doing a lot to­ wards this. A spirit of co-operation is created in an association and a better quality of produce is brought about for the almpie reason that a great lot of interest is taken, in taking care of the product and in feeding for production and quality produce.

FEBRUARY 11 lt» FAdBrWKNTY I RECORDS ECLIPSED FOR FARMERS WEEK The JVEJV sensation in IMDIO Visitors Tax Facilities on Mich­ igan* State College Campus for Annual Meetings East Lansing. Feb. 11—AU Farmers Week attendance records were eclipsed by the crowds which thronged the Miehgian State College campus, FebrI ruary 4 to 9. for the annual rural con­ ference. The Thursday night feature pro­ gram at the new armory was attended by more than 5.000 people, and. the , same evening. 900 guests were served ’ at the State Farm Bureau banquet. The new armory, supposed to care for the crowds which would come to the College for many years In the fu­ ture. did not provide space enough for people. exhibits and features on Thursday night. In the attempt to obtain positions to watch the program, the spectators wrecked a portion of the prize winning exhibits of com and grain which filled the ends of the big building. Shows, prize competitions, assocla- [ tion meetings and the general program 1 vied with each other for their share of the visitor’s attention. The abun­ dance of attractions left few moments of leisure for those who tried to get a complete picture of Michigan's farm industry as displayed during Fanners Week. A general spirit of optimism per­ vaded the meetings, and even the dis­ comfort of standing in line for meals did not seem to lower the spirits of the record breaking crowd.

Especially would it not harm the chance or the prospect of the sale. It would rather promote than harm the chance to sell. The minute there is es­ tablished the possibility of an oil de­ velopment within the township it in­ creases the potential value of the land therein. A man would rather buy a piece of land on which there was a possibility of oil or minerals than to purchase the same piece of land with­ out such possibility of development. No Foil In Locating Wells. Question: Will the location of any oil well or wells depend upon the '•puli'' of any owner or owners of such land? Answer: Absolutely not. The putting down of an oil well will depend entire­ ly upon the results of a geological sur­ vey made by expert geologists and what may be called core drilling, which would follow if the expert geologists decided that any given tract of land was favorable to the development of oil.

Buch to the brief outline ot her life, but it conveys little of the fuU active yean between. As an older child In a large family she learned early to accept responsibil­ ity and acquired those characteristic* of sound Judgment and reliability that followed her aU through her Ufe. Her companions tn High school recall her as a girl, serious and thoughtful beyond her years, with a marvelous memory, an alert mind, an unusual capacity for hard work and little time for play. She was eager for an educa­ tion and graduated when sixteen years of age with a fine record for scholar­ ship and dependability. Following her graduation she taught a term In Maple Grove and Freeport, then in the city schooto in a lower grade and was toon advanced to the difficult eighth grade room, where for some time discipline had become the paramount question, with teachers un­ equal to cope with the situation. Here she first had the opportunity to show her exceptional qualities as a teacher and as a disciplinarian. And friends have heard her speak with reasonable pride, that In all her long years of teaching, the end of her first day in that room was the only time she ever resorted to corporal puntohment. which she used on the ringleader, a boy as large as herself who had been particu­ larly obnoxious all day. Bhe accompan­ ied It with a wholesome lecture and from that time on. grade eight was one of the model rooms of the building. At the age of nineteen she was teaching in the High school and re­ mained there until she went to Grand Rapids and taught in the West side school; then In Central High school. In IBM the Barry county Democratic party nominated her for school com­ missioner to run against a strongly in­ trenched and well known local educa­ tor in a county where republican ma­ jorities mounted high. Thb too. was twenty-five yean ago. when women in politics was a new idea, and this job, considered a man-sized one. so there was naturally some prejudice to meet. She proved a splendid campaigner and went into office with a fine margin to spare, and two yean later won by an overwhelming majority. Bhe threw henelf into thb new work with ardor and enthusiasm. The hone and buggy of the new school commis­ sioner became a fumililr sight to the people of Barry county as she drove, by day and by night, over the then atrocious roads, visiting every school twice a year, some oftener, organizing.

The manner of the sale of the oil delivered to the pipe line will be as follows: When the oil to delivered to the pipe llae. two separate checks wi|l be made by the purchaser, who will be tho owner of the pipe line.

Bo it was in all her life work. Bhe was never Identified with a failure and seemed pecpllarly fitted to revitalize faltering and losing causes. The Has­ tings High School Alumni Association, now on secure footing, probably owes more to her for its continued existence during critical years than to any other single person. In Middleville site his left the same record of service and usefulness identi­ fying herself with all matters that per­ tained to the batterment ot village life, and she made a strong, virile organi­ zation of their long established Liter­ ary Club, whldt she served as president up to the closing year of her life. During the war she was actively identified with the Red Cross work in Middleville and put life and vigor into Hie Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign as chairman of the Barry County Wom­ en's Committee. Early identifying heroelf with the First Methodist Episcopal church in Hastings, for years she gave it her best soviet, for the ^hrtotian life and all It stood for was an important factor in her life. Bhe taught in its Bunday school and was its superintendent' for several years, gave valued service to the Epworth League and was a mem­ ber of the official board of the church. With all thb capacity for leadership and her talent for outside work her tastes were strongly domestic and when the opportunity came her way to culti­ vate Thb side of her life she gladly laid aside increasing honors and opportun­ ities and brought to her home the same fine qualities of administration and ac­ complishment that had marked her public life. Bhe was a natural home maker. The hospitality and good cheer, and cordbl atmosphere of her home are some of the happiest memories friends will carry of her. Home, motherhood and grandmotherhood were the great factors in her life. AU her Ufe she was accustomed to minister. In the public interesK or in helping those She loved or those who needed her she never faltered.

The gasoline tank is built integral with the cowl andja unusually sturdy because*it is made of heavy sheet steel, terne plated to prevent rust or corrosion. An additional factor of strength is the fact that it is composed of only two pieces, instead of three or four, and is electrically welded—-not soldered. Because of the location of tlie tank, the entire flow of gasoline is an even, natural flow—following the natural law of gravity. This is tbe simplest and most direct <way of supplying gasoline to the carburetor without vari­ ations in pressure. The gaso­ line' feed pipe of the new Ford it only 18 inches long and ia easily accessible all the way. • The gasoline passes from the tank to the carburetor through a filter or sediment bulb mounted on the steel dash which separates the gasoline tank from the engine. The carburetor Is specially designed and has been bulk to deliver many thousands of miles of good service. Since all adjustments are fixed except the needle valve and idler, there ia practi­ cally nothing to gel out of order. The choke rod on the dash acts os a primer and also as a regulator of your gasoline mixture. The new hot spot manifold insures complete vaporization of the gasoline before it enters the combustion chamber of the engine.

It all meant hours of hard work memorizing and rehearsing the various songs, choruses, skits, etc., by the performers as well as the orchestra, but the result was worth the effort, to say nothing of the fun the men had. Preceding the hour of eight, several excellent numbers were played by the orchestra, and as the curtains rose, the cheering was long and enthusiastic. In the center at the back of the stage was a large Illuminated Rotary wheel and this with the fine new drop cur­ tains made un attractive background for the colored chorus. The show began with ensemble choruses. Interspersed with amusing jokes and some enjoyable solos by the end men. C. A. Kerr. Chas. Potts and J. M. Townsend, who played the tamboa, and D. A.

Their jokes and musical numbers were cleverly done, even If one "squeeze-box*' failed to function. James Mason gave an interpretation of the "Mississippi Drag," a clog dance, and each night responded to encores. Robert Walton as Mr. Gallagher and J. M.

LAWLESSNESS ALWAYS BEGETS LAWLESSNESS One Law Cannot Be Ignored Without Encouraging Dis­ respect for All Laws A long time ago it was said that those who "sow to the wind must reap the whirlwind." The city of Chicago Is now confronted with some ol this whirlwind product, enough so that its people ought to be warned In time so as to save that city from a real dlsaster. The Chicago Tribune and some other Chicago papers have Insistently ridi­ culed the 18th amendment, persistent­ ly demanded Its repeal and declared that it Is not possible to enforce it. Men who claim to be good citizens of Chicago have, with Impunity, violated the law; have encouraged bootleg tnyfic In liquor, on the' theory that they did not have to respect a taw which was not pleasing Jo themselves. Such a condition was,bound to crystallze in such an election as the dty of Chicago had not long ago. when It put into the mayor's chair William Hale Thompson, who openly declared that he Is opposed to the 18th amendment, would do nothing whatever as mayor of the dty to secure Its enforcement. Under his administration, saloons of the vilest type have grown up in that dly. They are hanging out places lor bootleggers, iilgh-jackers. bandits and plug-uglies. Just as they always were and always will be. for that Is the na­ ture of a saloon. It is in just such in­ famous places that the worst crimes have been hatched. Yet the police of Chicago were Instructed not to inter­ fere with the saloons. So there has been built up a regular liquor traffic tn Chicago, with the open encourage­ ment of the police, who have profited by IL Not only has the traffic been estab­ lished In this manner, but (hete has grown up with it a debauchery-*of the police force of Chicago.

Experience has taught the State Highway Depart­ ment the requirements for a good high­ way and how to maintain It. The county rood system has also been developed to a point where county roads, while not equal to state high­ ways. especially where the latter are paved, arc still a fine system of roads.

When Sheriff Geo. W. Leonard of UUs county arrested Ralph Burwell and Richard Skinner, on the charge of getting gasoline and ol! from the Lacey Dilatation without paying for It and had the pair In his charge in jail, from certain things that he had reaa about the alleged bandits In Grand Rapids he associated Skinner and Burwell with such crimes in that dty. When the sheriff later began quizzing the bandits each by himself, Burwell told some of his bandit crimes. Skin­ ner at first denied and then later con­ firmed the accounts given by his com­ panion In crime and later mentioned one other that Burwell had omitted to relate. It was Sheriff Leonard who called up the Grand Rapids sheriff's office and notified them of the arrest of the two men and of his belief that they were connected with the holdups in that dty. The Kent county officers then came to Hastings and found, after In­ vestigating the prisoners with Mr. Leonard, that they were very much wanted in Grand Rapids. Last Monday Sheriff Leonard ap­ plied for the 9100 bounty offered by the dty of Grand Rapids for the arrest of Skinner and Burwell, who had con­ fessed their crimes and had been sen­ tenced, Skinner to 25 years and Burwell TO Splendid Talk on Agriculture Extension Work by R.

COWDREY DRUG STORE The Store That Saves You Money Every Day HASTINGS, MICHIGAN PILING UP THE TAX BURDEN. For a number of years past the Fed­ eral government has been carrying on; a scientific and effective economy cam-, palgn that lias resulted In a decreased . cost of government, and appreciably lower taxes. In contrast to this, local governments, dty. county and state. । have required a steadily rising amount, of money for their upkeep. According to authoritative figure*, the various state governments now have a gross bonded indebtedness close to two billion dollars, an Increase of more than $125,000,000 in a year. The indebtedness averages $16 for every man. woman and child Ln the nation. What must be the consequence of Oils, is clear. We are menaced by gov­ ernmental expenses that, when trans­ lated into taxes, will dissuade the pros­ , pective industrialist, discourage the Investor and burden the ordinary tax­ payer. Government is a business, subject \o all business conditions. Our great in­ dustries are models of efficiency and economy, beside which the average government Is prodigal in Ils waste. It Is time thinking citizens Insisted that government should consist of more and better business and less politics. Shifting tax burdens from one class of property or one class of citizens to another brings no real tax relief—it generally means a greater total of WORK AFTER SIXTY. The recent order of the President ad­ vancing the age of appointment of first, second and third-class postmasters from 65 to 68 ought to htip the whole army of men with silver threads In their hair who complain they are turned away from Industry because "young blood" is demanded. In the last few years the expectancy on life has been greatly increased. A a man of that age was considered a couple of decades ago. Perhaps the agi­ tation for bld-age retirement pensions, carried on in public service and out, may be sujitly responsible for the idea that post a certain age a man Is no good and his Job should go to a young­ ster.

The Future of Farming Ab An Industry Ab Viewed By A Famous Scientist A very thoughtful article by Q. H Sheldon. professor of physics of the New York university, wm given in some papers that came to hand last the future Prof. Sheldon says that soil fortfiivtoualy three or four acres were re­ quired. 'Die combine harvester makes it possible for one man to do the work of four or five in harvesting. Electri­ cal power on farms has added greatly creasing population, improved scien­ tific farming metliods have resulted in an overproduction that has brought to us our present farm problem. Prof. Sheldon declares that the truth is Hurt there are too many men on the farms, as the farm is now conducted. The fanner must grow chemicals, lu says, and not food if he Is to enlarge his scope. He must grow materials that can be converted to' industrial We will be glad-to call and give you an esti­ He says It is not the large scale fanner who is at preaent suffering.

In the old days he could find profitable em­ ployment in the winters by drawing Halting*, Michigan out and selling fir* wood, or logs for lumber mills Hta winters arg now largely n period of marking time. Prof. Sheldon says that, with these difficulties before the Individual farm­ er, it seems reasonable to predict that In the near future farms, like every' other productive activity, must pass in­ to the hands of large corporations, which will control hundreds or thou­ sands of acres and produce perhaps a single product, reducing prices and pay­ ing high wages. They will have the funds to employ able scientists, who will watch every development and wih take quick advantage bf every improv*, ment in fertilisation and insect con­ trol. They will use the most up-to-date machines. Engineers will help them to devise better machines. Their em­ ployee*. says Prof. Sheldon, will be the farmers of the future and will find their winters occupied in factories for utilisation of waste products and new and at present undreamed of materials will be manufactured from what are now waste products from the farm He concludes that “it is unpleasant to look forward to the elimination of our most independent workers, but he says the time seems near when, like the rest of us. he must become a i cog in the great Industrial field. He may sacri­ fice his ^dependence, but that is an expensive luxury." The new regime, which la now on the way. will, says Prof. Sheldon, mean greater prosperity, u more certain income and greater op­ portunities for his children than now extaite. * In his views on this subject Prof. Sheldon agrees with what Henry Ford! has declared in several recent Inter-. views on the subject of the future of i fanning.

GOVERNMENT WILL TRY TO CURE DRUG ADDICTS Congress Votes to Establish a Prison-Farm to Cure Drug Addict Prisoner! It is interesting to know that the United States government is planning to build a narcotic prison-farm for the purpose of treating drug addicts who have been arrested and Imprisoned in federal prisons, and curing them of their drug habit. It may be that the state of Michigan wiU follow Uncle Sam's example in this matter. There can’be no question about the Irrespon­ sibility created by the drug habit. Nor can there be any doubt but that the use of certain kinds of drugs has much to do in making criminals of those who have the habit. Many men could no doubt be cured of their criminal pro­ pensities. mode Into self-respecting and self-supporting’members of society, if they could get rid of the drug habit. In almost every case the young fel­ lows who are sent out to do holdups and rob banks are dope fiends. They nerve themselves for their desperate work by taking big doses before they commit their criminal acU. It can thus be seen that an important aid to get­ ting rid of the criminal class may be such a farm as the government Is go­ ing to establish. The experiment will be watched with a great deal of Intereat. •A FALSE PANACEA. "I wish to emphasize that there can­ not be a simple remedy to effect all that the public has been ted. or rather mis­ led. to expect of compulsory automo­ bile insurance." said W. C. Safford. Superintendent of Insurance of Ohio, in a recent address, “and I believe that the public should be educated to aban­ don the idea of a panacea which will not produce the expected results and which will result in demoralization." Mr. Safford considered the argu­ ment automobile Insurance Is based on the same principle as workman's com­ pensation and should receive the same consideration. Of this, he stated " • • • the idea is entirely wrong in principle. The fallacy that the victim of an auto­ mobile accident occupies a status sim­ ilar to that of an Injured workman and should share in a fund such as workmen's compensation, has been re­ sponsible for mistaken notions. The relationships of principal and agent nlzed principles of contract, and out of lhese grew workmen's compensation. What principle of contract exists be­ tween the automobile driver and the pedestrian? What control has an automobile driver over the physical situs of an accident? What compensa­ tion does one pay and the other re­ ceive? Another great fallacy, according to Commissioner Safford, is that compul­ sory automobile Insurance would in­ demnify all those injured. He cites cases where the Insurance would not be operative. These Include accidents at grade • crossings, accidents where killed or injured were at fault, acci­ dents caused by horse-drawn vehicles and animals, accidents where negli­ gence cannot be proven and a number of other situations. Clearly, these are responsible for a large percentage of all automobile mishaps. Mr. Safford's arguments are in accord with the opinions of many authorities. What we need Is a cure, not a dubious system of indemnity after the damage has been done. FROTECT1ON AND FOREIGN TRADE. ‘There has been some anxiety lest our protective policy should destroy our foreign trade." says the Grand Porks, North Dakota, Herald. "It has been explained In great detail that If we are to sell to other nations, we must buy from them. • • "As to a particular na­ tion that is not quite true. Il would be possible for us to sell continuously to a particular nation and not buy anything from that nation. • • ’We could, for instance, buy coffee from Brazil and sell wheat to Great Britain, and the account could be squared by 1 the sale of British woolens to Brazil.

Import duties are levied on goods which are produced on a consid­ erable scale in this country and with which foreign goods would compete dangerously if there were no duty.

Frances Holmes was bom in Wood­ land. Michigan, Dec. 28, 1846 and de­ parted this life at her home in Has­ tings, Feb. 17v 1929, aged .82 yearj, 1 month and 20 days. She was united in marriage to Wm. Rowley March 23. 1875. To this union were bom four children one having died in Infancy. She with her husband were two of seven charter members of the Wes­ leyan Methodbt church of Hastings and is the last one of this company to join the "Church Triumphant."

If. mobile; others treat tt like one of the family.—Life. fifty years or crime Some time ago Clarence Darrow, on being asked about our crime problem, said that "during my half-century qf practice, society Itos made no material advance in treatment of crime and the criminal." His opinion is in striking contrast with the activities of reformers who spend much of their time devising "cures" for the disease of crime. In ghat h^lf-century of which Mr. Darrow speaks, thousands of criminal laws have gone on the statute books. Panaceas have been offered, and many of them accepted. And yet crime con­ tinues and flourishes. Every new law passed means more law-breaking. The number of people, for example, who have been made law-breakers by such ordinances as those designed to prevent ownership of revolver! and pistols, cannot be estimated. Yet such laws are proposed to ^prevent” crime. But who ever heard of a criminal pay­ ing any attention to an anti-gun law? An anti-automobile law would be as .sensible, on the theory that if auto­ mobiles were tAjcen away from all law­ abiding citizens, the criminal would thereby be deprived of their use in his depredations. Mere multiplicity of laws do not deter the criminal. He will have his gun and his automobile though, the statute books sag with enactments forbidding him those commodities. GRANGE PROGRAM.

It stands as the basis of all credit and without Its steadying hand, a growing industry or an am­ bitious individual would be left helpless to proceed with a feeling of safely and security.

The Father and Sea Beasts Try Teeth OnTelegraphCables Repair ExpedHlone Dboovgr Queer Happenings Aloof A COMPACT link steaner, Ils deck a mass of slant buoy* through a howling February gale toward a little dot on the chart, miles at sea—a dot that gives, with amazing accuracy, the localioo of any interruption to talagraph cable service. At that e»ct point, say the electrician* ashore, something has happened to cause a "fault . Sea water has penetrste’d to the core of the. cable, and the damage must be repaired immediately. The (hip reaches the Indicated latitude and longitude. Down go the grapnel*, and In surprisingly quick time, up comes the cable. Soon the ship ha* established com­ munication with shore. The dam­ aged section is located, a new piece spliced, in, and once more the har­ ried whisper* of commerce are speeding along the tfotteffto of the sea. But the cause of all this trouble on a cable costing million* of dollars is an Insignificant little worm with an appetite for the gutta-percha that insulates the copper core. He ha* burrowed in, eating as he goes, and carrying the sea water with him. cutting off the iow of telegraph impulse* as effec­ tively as though he had severed the wire. Shark* Attack Cable Another time it may be a sword­ fish who ha* tried his snout on the interminable snake-like strand that he find* in his path. Such a thing happens, sometimes, in tropical waters. Sharks, too, seem to re­ sent the invasion of their waters by the cables, and their broken teeth, penetrating to the copper cond-jotcir, bear mute testimony to their irritation. The fact that such things do hap­ pen make* it essential that the route of a cable be charted with the greatest possible accuracy. BANFIELD.

To counteract the evils of bad home influences upon baby chicks, poultry specialists at Michigan State College advise the moving of brooder houses to new locations each year. The methods for building a brooder house which can be readily moved from the old site to more healthy surroundings will be shown nt the house building demonstration on the farm of Paul Brown, Section 32, Orangeville Town­ ship. Tuesday. Mar. 26. The specialists advise farmers who keep flocks of from 150 to 175 hens to build a brooder house 10 by 12 feet in size. This house will accommodate 350 to 400 chicks, from which the farm­ er should raise enough pullets to main­ tain his flock. At the building demonstration, poul­ try owners ore invited to bring a ham­ mer and aid in thc construction of the houses uKicr the direction of ogricul- MICHIGAN tural engineers from the Colkge. A power drhen saw is used to cut all necessary material for thc houses. The houses are built with a seven foot front wail and a five and a half back wall. A double floor Insulated with tar paper between the boards is laid to prevent drafts from chilling the chicks. The house is ouilt on skids to enable Il to he moved Coolly to a new location each year. Many diseases which attack chickt live in the soil over winter and infect chicks which are confined on the contaminated range. Bacillary white diarrhea, coccldlosis. tape worms, and round worms are diseases and parasites which arc carried ever from year to year In contaminated soil.

Lau­ rence Fuhr, who are sending tiie win­ ter in Glendale, Calif., that we know our subscribers will enjoy reading. The letter follows:— Glendale. Calif., Feby. 23. 1929. Dearest Folks — . Yesterday was Washington’s Birth­ day as you no doubt know. But what a day here I Never was there a more per­ fect day. As I remarked to Mr*. Par­ melee. it was worth coming way out to California for Ju*t that one day. It was so’warm that I perspired going down town and the sun was so bright it hurt tiie eye*. Tiie Maddux air lines opened their new field—that is. they bought the regular Glendale airport and added more ground, and they have added a mammoth building containing cover for the passenger planes, acces­ sories. u passenger staUon, etc. They have cemented the big “take-otT" field and oiled the landing field. The sky was a beautiful blue, srilh wispy white clouds in some places—a perfect background for the plane man­ euver*. I saw a group of eleven planes (I guess they were army plane*). They were painted bright orange on the wings, with a white body. They were flying in formation, a dosed triangle of nine, with an airplane leading and one following. Can you imagine tiie sight they made up there, all evenly spaced and lhe orange against the blue? Then wiien they flew to lhe side, the white bodies showed up. It was a sight one could never forget. After that they camo out flying Ln groups ot threes— three groups—and other formations. Laurence also saw their sham battle and go up and do a little stunting. There was a lot of stunting done and para­ chute drops. After I returned at night seven of the Maddux tri-motored planes (all white). roared right over the house in V formation, very beautiful. Governor Green and ptber celebrities spoke. Moving picture stars attended in aeroplanes with their names on for publicity. Art Goebel and Ruth Elder were there. Thc Maddux planes brought in their first passengers at 2:3b.

Tiie latest combination in that city is lhe National Bank nf Commerce and the Guaranty Trust Company. The two have Joined r.rd will make one tank with over 12.0IX) 000.000 resources Not far behind this institution is lhe National City Bank, which has built up a business of close to the two billion mark without any combinations but by the development of its own resources. In London there are five tanks hav­ ing resources over $2.000,000. 0Q0 each. But these five maintain that position through having, each of them, several hundred smaller branches placed In cities In every part of the British Em­ pire. These five banks practically have a monopoly of the banking business of England, while the big banks in Nev.York City have no branches except in foreign countries. If they were per­ mitted to own branches in other big cities of America, it would be easily possible to have a bank with $10,000,­ 000,000 capital. Chicago now has a bank with con­ siderably over $1,000,000,000 of resour­ ces! which was formed by combinin'; the Continental National and the Illi­ nois Trust Company of that dty. In Detroit to the People's State Bank, whose recent merger with the Wayne County Savings Bank has resulted in an institution with assets well toward a half billion dollars. Thus It can be seen that if Just n few bank mergers would be allowed In the national bank­ ing field, as has been permitted tn England, one bank could be formed that would have resources equal to al) five of the London banks: but that will never happen in the United States. But there will be great growth and con­ tinued expansion in New York banks. The country has nothing to fear from this colossal concentration of banking power. It to the only plan under which Amerlca-*can develop a foreign trade, which we must have In 'order to prosper as we should. The Na­ tional City~Bank of New York and the newly formed National Bank of Com­ merce of New York will both have branches in the financial center of every other important commercial country In the world. This will enable them to aid American trade wonderful­ ly. and will be of decided help In the expansion of our commerce. EAST DELTON.

Il U hard to undantand Uw attitude of the Britteq government toward the United Stoles at the preaent time. One would naturally think that it would be a fixed principle of BrtUah policy to cultivate the moat cordial and kindly relations with thia country- Instead at doing that the British government icetna to delight In wounding thc aensl* billtles of America then rubbin* salt on the wound as if that would heal IL Thia country, tn good faith, carried out the treaty of Washington, in 1931 which Involved the navies of lhe Unit­ ed Slates. England and Japan. We scrapped war vessels we were budding that would have given ua naval su­ premacy. It now aeems as if the aim of the British diplomacy |n that con­ ference was to have thc United States make that reduction and then leave loopholes in the agreement that would enable Great Britain to build up a navy that was far superior to our own, which she has done. President Coolidge called another naval conference last year to meet at Geneva in which the United Stales urged that there be placed limits up­ on the number of cruisers, as wall as of battleships, upon undersea craft as well as larger ships. The representa­ tives of Great Britain In that confer­ ence insisted that thc only limitation that she would agree to was that no battle cruisers of 8.000 tons carrying 8 inch guns could be constructed there­ after. but that it would be permissible to build cruisers of 8,000 tons carrying no larger than six inch guns. The United States objected to that limita­ tion because It practically meant that the United States could only, build cruisers that would be worthless to us. Great Britain has coaling stations on every sea and near every coast in the world, which she keeps supplied with everything that a battleship would need. She could get along with 6.000 ton cruisers and six inch guns. But the United States, lacking the fueling stations, could not use tiie smaller type of cruisers, but would require 8.000 ton ^cruisers and eight inch guns, in order 'that her battleships of this kind might have the proper cruising radius and be able to defend themselves from attack. Great Britain deadlocked tire Geneva conference, because she wanted to put the United States in a hole. There can be no other Interpretation put upon her action in that conference There is now visiting this country Lord Rothermere. editor of the London Dally Mall and Its proprietor, one of the foremost public men ot England and its outstanding newspaper publish­ er. He has recently sent to his govern­ ment a message in which he says: "With much reluctance I turn aside from urgent business affaire here to warn my fellow countrymen at home ot the really serious danger of- alknviw the present Increasing estrangement of Anglo-American relations to develop. "In some inexplicable way the British foreign office, under its present chief, lias failed to grasp lhe paramount Im­ portance of what must be the basis of our foreign policy—lhe maintenance of a most cordial understanding between ourselves and the United States. ■ “In its relations with America, blun­ der has succeeded blunder. There was first the failure of the Geneva Naval Conference. If ever there was oppor­ tunity to place the relationships of the two countries on an enduring basis of friendship, it was the Geneva Confer­ ence of 1927. summoned by President Coolidge, to bring about an agreement for the further limitation of naval armaments. "The failure of that conference be­ wildered lhe British public. Sir Austen Chamberlain's only report to the grave criticisms, subsequently leveled against his department for thc unfortunate outcome, was that there had been a ■want of preparation' on the part of the British government for that all-im­ portant discussion. "Instead of at once endeavoring to ar­ range a future conference, the British foreign office entered into what was, in effect, a secret agreement with France, covering almost the identical ground tiiat was set down for negotiations with America at Geneva. Could anything be more likely to establish an atmos­ phere of distrust and mistrust between the governments of London and Wash­ ington? "Not having succeeded in bringing about an agreement with ourselves, the United States government immediately developed its program for an Increased American navy. One of the last acts of Preaident Coolidge's tenure of office lias been to give his signature to thc navy bill, which provides for a notable increase in American naval arma­ ments. "Right up to the preaent time the bungling of the British government ha, continued. The most recent example ol it was thc repudiation by Sir Austen T. Chamberlain of the happy an­ nouncement made in a speech by the British ambassador' in Washington that the British government favored holding another naval conference. "I make the suggestion that this gov­ ernment. even before it goea out of office, should approach the United States with a clear pronouncement that they; are willing to discuss not only the relative site of the British and Ameri­ can fleets but international maritime law, in all Us phases, including the questions of blockade and contraband." With one of tiie leading publicists of England taking that outspoken position with reference to the actions of his government, it would seem as If the British government must take notice and govern itself accordingly and try to undo the harm that has been caused by its blundering course toward Ameri­ ca. DEMONSTRATIONS. Demonstrations of building brooder houses which embody the latest prin­ ciples of life insurance for baby chicks have been arranged for on the farms of Paul Brown. Bee. 32. Orangeville Twp.. Tuesday. Mar. 36 by Barry' coun­ ty agent Rood. The liouses will be completed in one day and will "be built under the super­ vision of members of the agricultural engineering staff of Michigan State College. Poultry Specialists from the College will devote a part of the after­ noon at each meeting to a discussion of chlek production problems. The model houses are constructed to eliminate. many of the troubles which cause heavy losses of chicks. Floors and walls are Insulated to prevent sud­ den changes of temperature within the house and the windows are ar­ ranged to permit the entrance of sun­ light to all parts of lire house. The specialists say that a toot of floor space is needed for every three chicks and lhe houses which will be built are. designed to accommodate from 350 to 400 chicks. A ventilating system which will admit plenty of fresh air and in­ sure a dry house is installed as a part of each building. Barry County Agent JJood says that every one Interested in poultry is In­ vited to bring a hammer and get first hand information on construction methods. COURTHOUSE NEWS lowing claims entered.

Tires for the new Ford are specially made to give long wear WHEN the new Ford was de­ signed, it was immediately apparent that a new tire would have to be made to match the car’s perform­ ance. It was distinctly a new problem, for here was a car with quicker acceleration, greater speed and more braking efficiency than any car of similar sire or weight. So that every Ford owner might be assured of maxi­ mum tire mileage at the low­ est * cost, the Ford Motor Company devoted many months to research and experiment in conjunc­ tion with the leading tire manufacturer*. A* a result, certain defi­ nite specifications were de­ veloped for tires for the new Ford. These specify cords of certain strength and texture, a large volume of tread and side-wall rubber, sturdy non­ ' skid design, and reinforced strong features of construc­ tion formerly considered for only the largest tires. Great care also was taken to secure the best ridingqual­ ities In connection with the transverse springs and the IIoudaiHe Though the Ford tires are designated as 30 x 4.50, they have the resiliency and air space of much larger tires because of the drop center rim of the steel-apoke wheel*. For beat results, the tires on lhe new Ford should be kept inflated to an air pres­ sure of 35 pounds and checked regularly to Insure this pressure all the time. Thia is important. Low in­ flation breaks down the side­ walls of a tire. By causing overheating, it also destroys lhe rubber that acts as an insulation, with consequent separation of the cord. At the end of each 5000 miles, when you have the front wheels packed with grease, it la a good plan to have the wheel alignment checked. This will prevent premature wear. When punctures come, aa they will with any tire, you will find the Ford dealer particularly well-equipped at small cost. See him, too, Tor replacements. Then you will be sure of getting tin* built specially for the Ford Motor Company DOUBLE ACTION First in the Dough -Then in the Oven Same Price For Over 38 Years Six Cylinde ROWDED traffic conditions today demand six-cylindcr performance—with it® greater flexibility, greater reserve power, higher speed and swifter acceleration. now—for the first time in commercial car history—thisdesirablesix-cylinderperformancc has been made available with the econ­ omy of thc four.

DEM WHITEHOUSE THE NEXT SPEAKER WILL BE AT BROTHERHOOD NEXT MONDAY NIGHT, MAROH 18 ONE OF THIS STATE’S OUTSTANDING MEN Charley Bacheller Captain of Supper Squad—Every Member Should Come The members of the Brotherhood ore to have a rich treat next Monday night. The speaker and honor guest will be Dr. W. W. Whitehouse of Albion, who hos Just been made dean of Albion college and will fill that place beginning next September. Dr. Whitehouse 1* no stranger to Has­ tings and Barry county. We arc sure that those who have ever heard him will want to hear him again; for he has a live messargc that comes straight from his heart and reaches the hearts of his hearers. His theme for next Monday night will be 'Pacing our Tomorrow." Dean Whitehouse has an original way of presenting a subject. He has been for years and still is a student. He has de­ grees from several Institutions and has specialized in sociology. In order to study human nature at first hand he once made his residence in one of the big cities of tills country, where he came in contact with people who live in the crudest and in some instances the hardest conditions. He did not go among Uiis class of people Just to study their troubles and problems, but to help them. He is a man of deep sympathy and keen understanding. We are sure the Brotherhood is fortunate In having the opportunity to hear him next Monday night. The supper squad is as follows: Chas. L. Bacheller. captain; Edwin Mead. Joseph Mead, L. J. Oswald. Wayne Offley, Fred Otis, M. L. Pierce, Walter Perkins. Earl Palmatler, J. T. Pierson. Lloyd Payne. B. A. Perry. John Quist, Fred Ryerson. Wm. Ritzman. Shirley Ritzman. Hugh Riley. Henry Sheldon.

TRANSFERRING TO ALMA DISTRICT ON APRIL 1 Mr and Mrs. Burr VanHouten Moving to That Oity— General Regret Here The business and social circles of Hastings suffer a loss In the removal of Burr Van Houten from his present con­ nection with the Consumers Power Company here to Alma. Mich. Thai city, as is Hasting*, is the center of a Consumers Power district. Mr. Van Houten's excellent work for the com­ pany here is recognized by his promo­ tion to "superintendent of sales and appliances” in the Alma district, which Is comprised of 42 towns. It will be up to Mr. Van Houten to visit the head­ quarters of the company In the various towns and show them how to increase their sales. There need be no question about his doing it Mr. Van Houten has to report at Al­ ma on April 1st. but Mrs. Van Houten has not yet decided when she will leave Hastings. While both ore greatly pleased that this splendid opportunity has been given Mr. Van Houten they are very sorry to leave Hastings, which has been home to them for a long time and where they have so many warm friends. Mr. Van Houten is well liked by the business men here because of his modest, unassuming ways and his good work for his company. Mrs. Van Hou­ ten has been much interested in Wom­ en's club' work and other social activi­ ties. Both of them are favorites and will be greatly missed In Hasting*, but there will go with them warmeat wishes for their success in their new field. Mr. Van Houten's place as sales manager for the Consumers Company here has not yet been filled. • ANNOUNCEMENT.

The American Legion will soon cele­ brate the tenth anniversary of its or­ ganization. To those who so nobly served their country In time of great peril It will be an anniversary ol achievement for a great work has been performed by the Legion in the decade of peace that has followed the close of the World war. The American Le­ gion was born out of the spirit of com­ radeship and mutual helpfulness that was so outstanding among those who fought side by side In the great strug­ gle and It Is today carrying on a pro­ gram of public service that has no par­ allel In the nation’s history. The greatest work of the Legion has been to care for those who suffered most by the war. The best efforts of the organization have been exerted in the behalf of Uie disabled soldiers, the war orphans and those who were left widows by the war. Although much has been accomplished for these war suferers there is still a great deal to be done. Tlic Legion has given assurance that this work will be continued ns long as there Is a need for it. In Uie field ot community service the Legion has successfully conducted civic betterment projects in all parts of the country that have demonstrated In a concrete way the power of the Legion to serve in time of peace. The celebration of the Legion's tenth anniversary on March 15 and 16 will be the occasion (for a re­ newed effort to enroll more war veter­ ans In this work. It Is the purpose of the Legion to Increase its membership in order that its work for the year may be broadened and extended. The people of this city are truly appreciative of the character of the work that Is being done by the Legion and they believe every encouragement should be given for its continuance. Now. therefore, I. Burton A. Perry, mayor of the city of Hastings, do here­ by proclaim Friday. March 15. and Sat­ urday. March 16, as the dates for the Tenth Anniversary Celebration of the American Legion and urge ull citizens to aid the Legion in every possible way to Increase its membership strength Every veteran should subscribe to the program of the organization by wear­ ing the Legion button. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the se*J at Uie city of Hastings to be affixed. Done in the city.of Hastings 'this 11th day of March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twentynine. tSigned) B. A. Perry, Mayor of Hastings, CONG.KETCHAM HONORED BY ALBION COLLEGE Will Give the Commencement Address and Receive Degree of Doctor of Laws We are sure that our reader* will be glad to learn that Congressman John C. Ketcham has been chosen to give the Commencement address at Albion College on June 10th. That is of it­ self a high honor, because Albion Col­ lege stands high among the colleges of this section of the country. But a finer honor Is to come to Mr. Ketcham at that time. He will be given the degree of Doctor of Laws by that institution; so that occasion will be a memorable one for him os well as an outstanding one for the college. Mr. Ketcham was a successful teach­ er. a* the people of Barry county well Know. He was for eight years county school coninlssloner and took rank a* one of the most successful commission­ er* of this state. He has been a stu­ dent ever since. He has taken a high rank in congress and Ls classed among the leaders in that body. That is be­ cause of his habit of going to the bot­ tom of things, studying the question.* that are brought up so that he may pass upon them and in the manner which their importance deserves. Mr. Ketcham's connection with the Stale and National Grange, his years ot public service as a congressman and the fact that he has always been a stu­ dent make It easy for one to see why this honor should come to him from Al­ bion College. It surely will be worthily bestowed. Just another recognition of the fine type of man and the splendid public servant that John Ketcham Is and alms always to be.

In Hastings the smoke stack of the Consumers Power Company plant In the second ward went down with a crash, cutting through two wires, which doused the glim tn town for a little while until repairs could be made. The stack blew to the eastward. As it rolled down it smashed onto Bill Hubbell'* automobile, making a sorry wreck of it. Mr. Hubbell works at the plant He left his car in-the usual place. Had the carsh happened three minutes be­ fore it did the stack would have hit three employees of the plant whe happened to be close to the automobile at that time. The cupola at the water works was also blown down and other slight damage down in the city.

AUGURAL CEREMONIES Dr. Lathrop Told Club About His Visit to Natfon'i Oapitol at Luncheon Monday The Lions Club meeting Monday noon was well attended. The members had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Lath­ rop tell of his recent visit to Washing­ ton. yhere he attended the inaugural ceremonies incident to the induction of President Hoover and Vice-President Curtis Into the high offices to which they were elected last November. Dr. Lathrop said he was very fortunate in being able to get into the senate chamber. Not one In 50 who desired that privilege was successful in being in the senate chamber at the time when Vice-President Curtis took his oath of office. Dr. Lathrop said It seemed far more impressive than the taking of the oath by President Hoover. 'Die members were much interested in the doctor's account of the ceremony and of what he was able to see while In Washington with Mrs. Lathrop. They were guests of Congressman anil Mrs. Ketcham while there. Harry Peirce, who attended the Lions convention in Detroit, gave a humorous account of his visit to the city of the straits. He had much difficulty, he said, in finding lhe place where the convention was to be held. He was in the Statler hotel and said that instead of getting into tlie Lions den. he guessed It must have been the Tigers club; because when he stepped into a big room they were busy drinking beer and invited him to share. He explained that, being a good Lion, he turned down the Tiger’s temptation. FLORSHEIM SHOES {^LINTON—A smart, comfortable shoe for GODLEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

One of the great­ est changes that has taken place in Optometry is in the growing practice of re­ ferring to the work of the Optometrist as service. The Optometrist encour­ ages the use of this term, as the greatest value he renders his patients is de­ termining what errors of '’vision exist, and how they may be corrected. And these duties are properly referred to as service. (To tie continued next wm*) Mia Mac Keller wm home from Bat­ tle Creek over Bunday.

No doubt many who read the new«paper account! of the stockholder* meeting of the Standard OU Company of Indiana, where John D. Rockefeller, Jr., backed by two thirds of tlie stock represented, last week dispossessed Col. Robert W. Stewart from the chairmnnship of the directors of the company, might have wondered what It was all about. Some might have thought it was Just a case ot business differences that came up between two men. Others may have thought that Mr. Rockefeller had some favorite of his own whom he wished to place Ln this 1125,000 a year It is due to Mr. Rockefeller to say that a matter of principle was Involved with him. He stood for that principle . and won. We think his victory will help to clear lhe atmosphere, not only in the oil business but in other big corporations. . Col. Stewart had admitted his parti­ cipation in the rotten Continental Trading Company deal. His personal attitude toward lhe United States sen­ ate and toward the courts which investlgnted that matter was anything but creditable to him. He conveniently ab­ sented himself from the country when • the United States district court at Cheyenne was trying the Sinclair case, when he was wanted as a witness. It Is significant tliat he returned too late to testify, although he well knew the facts in the case and their bearing on the Investigation and trial. He refused to answer certain ques­ tions put to him by an investigating committee of the United States senate, which was anxious to .get to the bottom of the rotten Continental OU mess. He at first denied knowing about the deal. Afterwards it was brought out that the Continental Trading Company was formed in Canada, for an Indefensible purpose. He owned a one third inter­ est in that company, which bought for •1.50 a barrel about 10.000,000 barrels of crude oil in Texas from a big oil operator there und sold It to his own company, Standard OU of Indiana, at fil.75 a barrel. He first rpfused to tell his part in this transaction, which cannot be adequately explained or de­ fended. after the proof was brought out that tended to show that he shared in the Ul-gotten gains by the sale of the oil owned by the Continental Com­ pany to the Standard OU Company of Indiana at a profit of over 12.000,000 for the Continental Co. At the very time Slewart filled the highest position In the Indiana Company and owed full loyalty to it. He afterward turned over his personal. profits to his com­ pany. but not until investigators were hot on his trail. not kept as they should have been, so he escaped on a technicality; but bls record convicted him before the court of public opinion. The two Rockefellers. lather and son, played an Important part In the re­ moval of Stewart from lhe chairman­ ship of the directors and Ute manage­ ment of the Indiana company. Had they been willing to permit Btewart. who is admittedly a genius in the oil Industry, to continue as the directing head of the Indiana Standard OU Com­ pany, all big business would have suf­ fered. particularly the oil business would have been tainted with the stig­ ma of dishonor, which Mr. Stewart'; selection would have sanctioned. That Mr.-Btewart had some wonder­ ful friends in the company who were ready to overlook his mistake and give him another chance Shows that he had. at least, merited the good will of his associates on the board and of many thousands of employees of Uie company who were stockholders. Tlie fact that they were employees of the company, and therefore under obligation to the management, might account for a con­ siderable number of proxies he received from employees: But in spite of all his efforts he was beaten by a vote of two to one. Mr. Rockefeller has claimed that shortly after Mr. Stewart refused to testify before the senate committee he talked with him and criticised him for not giving the facta asked for, saying that the oil business must not be taint­ ed with fraud and corruption; that It would be a sacrifice of the good name and prestige of the company If Mr. Stewart were guilty of evading or avoiding his plain duty In the matter of revealing facta asked for by an in­ vestigating committee. Mr. Rockefeller claims that Mr. Btew­ art promised him at that time that, if Mr. Rockefeller would Investigate the matter thoroughly and if. after such investigate he felt that Btewart ought to resign that he would do so at Mr. Rockefeller’s request. Rockefeller at once prepared an o|>cn letter to Uie stockholders of the Stand­ ard of Indiana, disclosing the facta of Mr. Stewart’s reprehensible conduct In becoming a member of the Continental Trading Company, getting big profits out of his own company, which he did not return until an Investigation had directed attention to him as a sharer in those profit*. Then he returned them. Mr. Rockefeller also charged that Mr. Stewart's attitude toward the senate committee In refusing to disclose facta was unwarranted; that the Stan­ dard Oil Company of Indiana, or any­ body connected with It* management, ought not to be in pocaesslon of fact* which could not be disclosed with safe­ ty to the United States senate com­ mittee or to any court. We think there will be general sympathy wltii this «tand taken by Mr. Rockefeller. EVERY ONE! Who Opens a Bank Account YcOURTHOUSE NEWS I HELPS TO MAKE HIS TOWN RICHER AND HIMSELF MORE PROSPEROUS.

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 volume of milk we have received from the same num­ ber of cows. In almost every instance our milk patrons have no more and in many cases fewer cows than when they were sending us less milk. This is true all over the state, and in fact, the country over, where there are: Better Grades of Cattle More Attention to Feeding Greater Care Given the Cows there is an INCREASE IN MILK PRODUCTION !

In one instance, in a rich dairying section, bank deposits amounted to over $ 1 7,000,000. In a similiar community of the same size, where there was no dairying, but other things being equal, the bank deposits were a little over $10,000,000. 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: —Better Grade of Cows —Better Care of Cows —And Better Feeding of Cows a Fine Thing to Have a Nice, Fat Pay Check Coming Regularly Once a Month! /t’s Gef info the Dairying—increase the value of your farm — raise the financial value of your community and contribute to the Happiness and Prosperity of its population !

Yet you are doing exactly the same thing when you permit a fur­ nacecoil to steal heat from your heating plant. This coil cools down your fire, retards combustion and wastes your fuel dollars exactly like a cake of ice. Years of experiment have developed a water heater that takes the place of this wasteful coil and gives you constant hot water summer and winter, night and day. It does away with the furnace coil forever. This outstanding achievement in household conveniences can use only a small amount of gas and being built like a thermos bottle, the heat can’t escape. .

In Barry county the following are classed as non-troul streams, so that spearing will be allowed In them: Au­ gusta Creek. Bentley Creek. Cedar Creek. Cobb lake outlet. Fair lake out­ let. Shallow and Gilkey take outlet, Hlghbonk Creek. High Hill take outlet, Kurtz c/eek. Kane Creek. Lawhead take outlet, Leach lake outlet. Long lake outlet. Mud Creek. Payne Creek. Thorn­ apple River, Little Thornapple River and on Onondaga Creek. It will be welcome news to those who like to spear to know that they are to havp the privilege of spearing on the streams indicated. It those who enjoy spearing want to have this privilege continued they should be careful to observe the requlriements of the department, which limits the kind of fish to be speared to suckers. If there should follow, as a result of this liberty given In spearing, the destruction of gakie fish such as bass, pickerel and other fish In any of the streams unquestionably this right will be taken away. So those who want to have the privilege of spearing in these waters mentioned should ahere strictly to the law. That is the safe thing to do anyway. And it would be weU lo get a copy of the fish law and read it carefully before attempting to spear. PROVISIONS OF JONES flILL EFFECTIVE BOOTLEGGERS GIVING UP THEIR BUSINESS IN MANY LOCALITIES FORMIDABLE WEAPON FOR ENFORCING LAW Violators Fear Sentences Im­ posed by New Regulations —Has “Teeth” in It That the Jones law. passed by the last congress, will be a formidable weapon for the enforcement of the 18th amendment seems now beyond doubt. This law was introduced by the sen­ ior senator from Washington. It makes the extreme penalty for a first con­ viction a fine not exceeding 110.000 and imprisonment not exceeding five years or both fine and imprisonment al the option of the judge. Congress, In pass­ ing the bill, made it plain that it was their wish that this should be used to put an end to bootlegging and not just to punish some party who really hadn't any serious designs except to make a little easy money. The big bootleggers are always criminals. They go armed and do not hesitate, as has been proven In Michi­ gan more than once, to shoot, and shoot to kill, it they think someone U likely to molest them. It Is to get af­ ter this class that thia law was framed will be realized. Dispatches in Saturday's papen from the city of Detroit carried new* that fully confirms this conclusion, which was the hope of those who spon­ sored and passed the Jones bill. The Detroit News, of March 15lh says that "many of the men who have made fortunes In bringing liquor from Canada to down river towns are pre­ paring to quit the business, because of the recent enactment of the Jones law, : which provides a maximum penalty of 310,000 or five years imprisonment or both for the first offense." The New; quotes unnamed operators os declaring "Despite the high profit, the liquor traffic does not offer a return commeasurate with the risk of such a heavy fine and prison sentence." Thirty five alleged violators of the li­ quor law. arrested In Detroit since March 2. face a trial In federal court under the provisions of the Jones law. Throughout the middle west and es­ pecially in tiie region around Kansasi City Frank DeMayo, alleged king of Kansas City bootleggers, has ended his.

The advance In radio communication since the 1914 London Conference has been more rapid than in any of the subjects to be discussed. It happens, however, that a good deal of the Aeld has b-en covered In the International Radio Convention, which was signed in Washington in 1927. The sinking of the steamship Vestris. on November 12. 1928. was so re­ cent that the details are still familiar to everyone, as not only was the press full of the derails but the reports of the different investigations made also have been published. The Vestris carried 129 passengers and 209 crew. The survivors were about 77 per cent crew and about 46 per cent of the pas­ sengers. Twenty of the "27 women passengers and all of the 21 children were lost and many of those lost were Amcrlean citizens. The Vestris disaster coming so shortly before the date set for the International Conference un­ doubtedly must have much inffuence on that conference. It oftens requires a near disaster to force realization and action acordingly.

That us poor mortals know: We know not when he's going to come Nor when he's going to go. No use to tack the windows down. Nor padlock all the doors. Death will come in. and wq'll not hesj, His footsteps on the floor. He does not take our gold and gems. But he will steal our dearest friends. And he's always hovering near. And death will steal from all of us, —Each day he takes some friend— And he says not. why this is thus. Nor If we'd meet again. Ah! he enters In. then steals away, Death Is the biggest thief to day. That human beings know. Death stalks around the darkest night, And in the light of day. And sometimes, when he feels just right.

East T.ansing, Mar. 18.—Accurate records-- cn the returns from farm woodlots are hard to obtain but Glen Ingram, a Barry county farmer, has I kept accounts which show that Ids 10' acre woodlot has returned him an, average of *36.50 an acre for the past I 18 years and he has been ottered *2.500 for. the mature limber which to now in I the woodlot. The lumber obtained from this wood-1 lot was 14.000 board feet of basswood, whitewood, and red oak In 1910; 13.0001 feet ot elm in 1913; 7.000 feet ot bass-1 wood in 1918; 27.000 feet in 1926; and 2,000 feet in 1927. All fuel burned on the farm except j during the past three years was cut from the woodlot. as were poles and posts used on the farm. Maple trees in this stand of Umber have furnished an average of 100 gallons of, syrup. Mr. Ingram rented a nearby wood lot three years ago and has cut hto fuel from those woods since he rented them. The soil on which the timber stands is a good loam and Is fairly rolling. Mr. Ingram says that the 10 acres has yielded as great a return as any slml- Oh he takes the strong, as well os weak. —There's nothing that he fears— He states that he always has pas­ He steels sweet babies from mothers' tured the woodlot but now sees that arms. this practice has killed out the seed­ And drowns them all in tears. lings and ’prevented the growth of es, he steals the rich, and steals the young trees to replace those which are cut, so he plans to keep all livestock He knows where to begin— out of the woodlot in the future.

This is what we say 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 Blue Pennant Balloon. This is full oversize balloon with extra plies and a deep-cut tread that gives excess mileage, better traction, easier steering and greater riding comfort. “However, we can give you a good tire at any price you want to pay.

When there are 80,000 Rabbits breeding annually, we then cannot get'enough for the city of Detroit alone to absorb. You must have read our advertisements before where w‘e told you that you could earn from $219 to $8,200 annually raising Rabbits for meat, depending on whether you had 10 breeding does or 200.

On Thurs­ day. when the firo department was al -work on East Mill Street, this party parked his car within 20 or 25 fept of a fire truck while in operation on East Mill Street, notwithstanding the fact that the city ordinance plainly says that, at.the time of a fire, no one shall driver nearer than one city block from a burning building or from any fire equipment when it is tn use. The firemen have been very patient about violations of this ordinance and have suffered a great deal of, incon­ venience. On one or two occasions larger fire damage than was necessary has resulted to property because thoughtless people have driven up and parked close to the fire equipment making It almost impossible for the members of the department to handle the equipment This tias becume such a nuisance that the city officials de­ cided that it must be stopped. Accord-1 ingly an arrest was made and a fine, !, imtxised in this case. More will follow j unless the ordinance is respected. ADVERTISING KATE8.

We say a profit; but wc feel that 1* really not exact. Wc had better say that the revenue from the water works was 31.652.60 more than the expenses. In­ cluded In the expenses Is about 3800, which wa* next to tho last payment due on the big pump at the plant. City Engineer Sparks called attention to the fact that there were also more meters purchased last year than were used by the city, which are now on hand. He say* that if all of these were taken into consideration the pro­ fit. so-called, would have been 33.000. The city has an Investment in the water works that would cost probably 3200.000. if not 3250.000. to duplicate today. No one can tell al what time | some break may occur Ln one of the mains. No one can tell at what time it may be necessary to extend one of the big mains to some new factory or something of that sort. If that should be done, thc city has no fund from which to make the replacements or lay the new pipe. We are not criticising the city council, because we think that their record is one that every citizen of Hustings ought to be proud of. But we do suggest that the water rates ought to be made such that there could be laid aside a fund each year to take care of replacements or break­ ages or very expensive repairs which might force a bond issue uj»n the city. A considerable reduction could be made in tiie cost of ojtcrallng tho wa- j ter work* plant if our people would consent to have a standpipe, so that water could be pumped In the day time and lhe pumps be shut down at night. But that probably will not lie done. Thc citizens of Hastings arc too much in love with the splendid water they have from our system, due to lhe di­ rect pressure upon the pipes at thc plant, so that they will probably neve­ want to have water stored in a big tank In view of . the fact that such tanks may not be as carefully looked after as they should be. the waler might be contaminated. Our city is free from diseases that can be traced to contaminated water. We certainly have a pure supply, pumped fresh from flowing wells. That is a situation that thc people of Hastings probably will not vote to change. A small increase in the rales, say not more than 6 to 10 percent at the outside, would enable ’ tho city to build up-a fund from which replacements or niw equipment could be financed without bond issues. Thc council at lhe meeting Friday evening voted to add uboul-WOO to lhe sinking fund which they started to create about two years ,ago. which can be used for putting in a new water tubte boiler. City Engineer Sparks says! that a new water tube boiler, with the' setting and connections, will cost somewhere between 35.000 and 36.000 Thc city cannot borrow to exceed 35.000 for such a purpose without a vote of t|ie people. Should some emergency arise, a delay would be dangerous and might entail a heavy loss to thc city. Accordingly thc council has built up tljls reserve fund, which now is 34.000. so that if we had to buy a new boiler a bond issue would not be necessary, as the council could borrow al the bank, without a bond is­ sue, enough money with tiie 34,000 in thc fund to Install the water tube boiler. This shows what splendid fore­ thought the council is giving to the city’s business, and that Is to be commended on every account. We believe the city would stand be­ hind them if the council would make a slight increase in the rates, which would enable the city to create a sink­ ing fund that would take care of ^ex­ pensive repair*, replacements or exten­ sions of new equipment, if that should become necessary. The total gross revenue last year was something over 316.000. Even a 10 percent increase would not be burdensome, and would put the system on a business basis where the people would know that if there were bunting mains In the larg­ er pipe of the system, or If it became necessary to increase the size of thc pipe, or if some considerable extension should lie necessary. It could be made without a bond Issue. There has been some talk of an electric Installation at thc pumping station; but City Engineer Sparks does not seem to favor it. because of the expense involved in making the change. It would require that ail thc present pumps be scrapped and re­ placed with new electrically operated pump*. There can i>e no doubt if we had electric Installation It could be operated at considerably lea* cost than the present outfit: but In view of the heavy expense that'would be required to make the change Mr. Sparks feels that it would not be warranted at this time. .

The treatment recommended for o»U Is the one known as the formaldehyde spray method in which one pint of formaldehyde will kill lhe smut pres­ ent on a 5 bushel of seed grain. For smaller amounts of grain, proportion­ ately decreased quantities of the chemical are needed. Thc formaldehyde is placed in a small hand sprayer and Is sprayed up­ on the oats as they are shoveled over and over. AfUr the oats are sprayed, they should be shoveled into a heap, covered with a canvas or blanket for four hours, and then spread out for a thorough airing. Thc oats should be sown as soon as possible after they are aired.

MORE BARLEY-GROWN ON MICHIGAN FARMS Special Markets Maintain Price Levels on Thja Grain East Lansing, Mar. 25.—The acreage of barley which is grown on Michigan farms is rapidly increasing and special markets maintained a good price level on the grain produced, according to a statement by members of the farm crops department at Michigan Slate College The popularity of barley has in­ creased because a large quantity of ex­ cellent feed can be grown per acre, it will grow on many soil types. It Is a good nurse crop for legume seedings, and new varieties are not so unpleasant to handle ns some of the old varieties. Yields of from 40 to 45 bushels of barley are obtained by Michigan farm­ ers and several crops exceeding 00 bush­ els per acre are reported each year. Barley weighs 48 pounds to thc bushel, and 40 bushels contain as many pounds of feed os 60 bushels of oats. Feeding experiments at Michigan Bute College prove that barley may be substituted pound for pound in the ra­ tion for dairy cows, and in localities where the production of com is en­ dangered by early frosts, barley can be used to replace it While corn seemed to slightly excel barley in hog fatten­ ing experiments, barley ripens early enough so that It can be used to finish hogs for the early fall market Many Michigan growers seed 12 to 16 pounds of sweet clover with tiie barley, and then plow down the clover the next year. Records at the College indicate that barley should be sown as early as the ground can be properly fitted. Thc lesson was called "Efficiency Be­ fore and After the Meal.” Literature pertaining to the above was gtven to each member. Diagrams and names of most convenient and efficient refrig­ erators were also given. Officers for the coming year arc as followsLeaders.

There is a Federal Tire for any price you want to pay—and any one of them will give you more Tire Miles than your money is likely to buy elsewhere. 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 of the service we give. We know that no tire will give satisfac­ tory service if it is not going to roll true after it is mounted. For this reason, before mounting any tire we clean 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 assurance of extra tire mileage we ask our customers to stop in at regular intervals to have their tires checked for inflation and their wheels checked for alignment.

'' COME IN OR PHONE Within Arm’s Reach In thc most modern homes you will find a telephone conventently near you wherever you may be. The old time reception hall telephone is retained, but, in addition, ex­ tension telephones are placed in the bedroom, library, guest room,kitchen and basement,and even thcbathroom.

Considerable progress has been made in Dairying in Barry county fluring the past few years, but there is still a long way to go before the business of Dairying reaches the volume it should reach. Many of the richest dairy sections in Michigan are no better adapted to the business than is Barry county. Where Dairying is carried on as it should be, theret . you will find a rich, wealthy community! A herd of good cattle will enhance the value of any farm—in fact, it is difficult to picture a successful farming enterprise without a herd of good dairy cattle, and —THE BETTER the CATTLE, the BETTER the DAIRYING If we can all work together and all pull together — Barry County Can be Made One of the Big Dairy Coantiee of Michigan 1 jfrctic Pairy Products - /fastings, Michigan - �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, MARCH «7. l»t» TAM TOURTBBN 5HDDLEVH.LE.

There will not be a bond Issue for It. The paving on Eayt Mill Street was done without a bond issue. All of these Improvements were carried on without increasing the 1st rate of Hastings, which we think is a wonderful record one that reflects great credit upon the mayor and the common council of this city. It te a record of which the dty and every citlsen may well feel proud 1 A year ago. on March 10th, the total balance on hand was 838328.73; while thia year It te 850490 24—or a little over 812.000 more cash on hand this year than a year ago The doundl voted to put enough more money with the 83415 98 shown In the water works replacement fund so that that fund will be increased to 84.000. which is now drawing interest and will be ready for use towifd^the purchase of a needed new water-tube boiler at the water works plant. Through lhe wise financing of thc council, all tills Is provided for so that when the time comes that this new boiler must be installed, no bond issue' will be required. We wonder if our citizens consider, as they should, how much they owe to tiie common council and mayor nf thte' dty. who so consistently plan and work ‘ for their interesta? It te not an easy task to be a member of the council Often they are criticized, sometimes In । entire ignorance of tiie work they have done, often without any excuse whatever. We hope that there may be shown the merited commendation of the good work of the common council and mayor by the dtiiens, and an ap­ preciation of what their devotion to the public interest tn carrying on the1 business of thte dty has meant to Has­ tings and its people. The debt has been reduced to almost the vanishing point. An outstanding public im­ provement, the sewer system, is being Installed without a bond issue Stretches of pavement are being laid and paid for out of money which has been wisely provided without bonding for that purpose.

Bo that deducting thte from the outstanding bonds Ute actual in­ debtedness of lhe city, which is all tor paving bonds, is less than 85.000; and ot this 85.000 a part will be paid by the owners of the property abutting on lhe paved street*. The dty will actually retire 84.300 at paving bonds this year, which will leave something lo the good in thc sinking fund and cut thc actual bonds down to 15.850. In July further provision will be made in the tax collection for an addition to the .interest and sinking fund. The city’s financial year.

The dty still has from March 9th. the date of the treasurer's report, up to lhe next tax collection In July to meet thc dty's expenses from this 550,590.34. But it can be seen that the financial position of this city te very healthy.

Thc school bond situation te likewise creditable to Hastings.

Ketchum, operator of the oil station at Lacey, notified Sheriff Leonard some time ago that two men had secured gas and oil from him and had toft without fiaylng for It. Il will be remembered that Mr. Ketchum was sngxHh enough to get the number of the car. although he did not know who the occupants were. It will also be remembered that Sheriff Leonard overhauled the two men In the car not far from the turn on north Michigan Avenue and forced them to surrender. The pair later turned out to be Richard Skinner, aged 34. and Ralph Burwell, aged 33 both of Grand Rapids, wanted in that city for a series of hold-up*. The Grand Rap­ ids officers did not then know these men were bandits wanted there. They Just knew that they wanted two men After Sheriff Leonard had gotten the Blr in jail, he notified the Grand Hapi officers that he thought ha had two men they wanted. Members of the siieriff-* .staff of that city came to the jaiLhere and. In company with Sheriff Leonard, obtained complete confessions from them. The result was that the two were sentenced to Jackson for long terms. The City Commission of Grand Rap­ id* had offered a reward of 8100 for the arrest and conviction of those guilty of banditry In that city. Sheriff Leonard felt that he was entitled to the reward, because of having actually arrested the men and notified the Grand Rapids officers of their arrest Mr. Ketchum made application for the reward also, because of the fact that it was through him that the sheriff here was given Uie number of the car which enabled him to make the capture. Grand Rap­ Ids papers of Saturday announce that the city commission had decided to spilt the reward between Sheriff Leon­ ard and Mr. Ketchum.

Yet Hastings is" in no sense a backward dty m the matter of public, improvementa At the present time it is Installing a new sewer system and completing a dizjx»-a) plant. It is adding to the paved mileage of its streets. Its total school bonds outstanding in May will be $7,000 but it has a $36,000 sinking fund with annual accretions to offset this item and provide for a new school at the proper time. Hastings' financial plan is one whidi could be recommended to every pro­ gressive small dty. and some large ones. Its scheme is to look a number of years ahead. estimate Its major needs, and build up funds tn advance to meet them. Thus It avoids paying bond in­ terest. and cams interest instead If it foresees a new school, it puts in an an­ nual budget item distributed over lhe interval of time before the school will be required. Its sewer fund has been scientifically built up to meet replace­ ment needs as they arise; half of it at present is out at interest, awaiting use for the disposal plant. Hastings is already figuring on sums to lay by for a street program calling for improvement of nil the streets, counting the cost of new machinery which will be required for this purpose, and contemplating a start as soon as the sewer system Is completed. Except In number of functions and volume of operations Hastings* case is that of almost any dty. Hie drawing up of a budget of future Improvementa several years in advance, the laying aside and rigid protection of funds to care for these needs as they arise, the establishment of an accounting system permitting the dty commission to keep its fingers constantly on the truth of dty finance, are nothing but sound business of the type applied to any pri­ vate enterprise that is rightly managed But Hastings Is fortunate in that a city actually applying this plan is still a rarity.

Then it would divert Jo another paved trunk line leading directly Into Muske­ gon. At Muskegon It would connect with the paved trunk line north and south along the shore of Lake Michlgan. At Marshall It would connect with the paved trunk line leading from Detroit to Chicago. Farther south It would connect with still another paved trunk line leading north and south or east and west, like most of those In Michigan. This would be an exception, as it would cut diagonally across that state. It would likewise go diagonally across Michigan. It is too early to say anything about lhe prospects for the adoption of Ulis route and its taking over by the gov­ , cmmcnl os a federal highway; but l» would seem to be desirable from every standpoint. after a two weeks vacation.

During the past week stocks have suffered a frightful tumble; and may not yet have reached a conservative, consis­ tent price basis. The governor ot lhe Federal Reserve System had issued a Umely warning that a halt must be called, in Uie dlverison of so much money to Wall street for speculation when it Is needed in lhe channel* of trade and industry for legitimate pur­ poses. Through manipulation by speculators, prices of stocks had been soaring in recent montits until they had gotten beyond any proportion to Intrinsic val­ ues or to their ranting power. At the price at which some stocks were sell­ ing on Wall Street until very recently, the re turn on those stocks would repre­ sent only two or three percent. Borno stocks heavily traded in had never paid a dividend. . They had soared beyond any rela­ tion to their real values. As a result of all this and the high rates of in­ terest that speculators were willing to pay in order to carry on their frenaied operations money wa* attracted from legitimate business to operation. Out­ side banks sent money to loon to ■OMUlators, individuals did likewise. New York banka did the same, al­ though they were' much more con­ servative than outside money loaners. But at last the conservative force* of the country realised that Uie stock market had gotten beyond all bounds. Uiat a reaction was inevitable and that a time had arrived when money should not be loaned to speculators to still further inflate price* of stocks. Call money, which is what the speculators have to have In order to cany their stocks from day to day. Jumped from seven to 12 percent. On Tuesday of last week it reached 20 percent About 8JOOJXN) share* of stock were traded in that day and the decline* in idling value* of stocks mounted to over *2J»0J)OOJX». That was not a loss to tire corporations whose stocks were sold on Wall Street. It was simply lhe pricking ot the bubble ot specu­ lation. Wednesday still further de­ clines followed when lhe call rate was fixed at 16 percent Ten* of thousand* of men who thought they had been making money by buying stocks, many of them carry­ ing them on margins, woke up to the fact that they stood to lose, frantical­ ly attempted to borrow, paying all kind* of Interest. Thousands and Ihouaand* of paper fortunes were iwept away in Uie avalanche of stock selling- in order to get money to pay loan* Thl* decline is a good thing for th* country; and the authorities ot Roundworms won’t take his profits after this “Quick results with Nema and no ill effects'* Say* daroce Trotter No need tn let roundworms rob you of profile any longer.

The seed itself must con­ tain the promise and the power. You would feel convinced of the power of Ferry’s purebred Seeds if you could see the great Ferry stock seed farm and trial gardens. Here are acres and acres of •pccimen plants. Every plant that li mature is big, vigorous, beautiful. and bountiful. Only the best plants are allowed to mature—all else are weeded out. Any plant that doesn’t produce true to type gets weeded out. And only seeds from the plants that measure up to the Ferry standards in size, <x)!or, flavor, productivity—are thq Ferry’s Seeds you can buy. In these seeds is the power t<f, produce flowers of superb beauty, and vegetables of superior flavor, and size. Surely all the work you put into your garden deserves just these seeds. Ferry’s Seeds have to be all you expect when you buy them. In addition, they are fresh. No packet of Ferry’s Seeds Is ever carried over by the dealer for sale tha second season.

Moxley,, of State College, will demonstrate simple, practical and most highly approved methods in colt breaking on the Burdick farm three miles east of Hickory Comers. Friday at 1:30 P. M. April 19th. Mr. Burdick has received shipments of several car loads of -western horses, and those which have never been broken or handled arc being used in this demon­ stration. As soon as Mr. Moxley has demonstrated the method it is hoped that some of thq farmers attending the meeting will use this same method on another horse or two at this demon­ stration. The multiple hitch for using two or more teams In tandem.—one ahead of the other, preventing side drafts and allowing the horses to work much more freely with less, heating.—this method will also be demonstrated at this meet­ ing. The multiple hitch will be demon­ strated also on the James Nevins farm at 9:30 A. M. Friday. April 19th. Farmers having two or more teams are particularly urged to attend one ot these meetings, everyone who has young horses to break should attend also the Horse Breaking Demonstra­ tion. For this demonstration we are anxious to get tome particularly bad which are a little worse than many farmers will have to contend with. If you crave excitement or seek informa­ tion this meeting will be interesting.

Whether there is a fold In the rocks or not. and just how far drilling will have to go in order to get to some oil bearing rock, wo do not know; but the geologists think it will not be necessary to go as deep here as at Muskegon. We noticed that ln>yan Buren county. last week oil was struck at a depth of 970 feet in the up­ per Traverse rock. Oil is found in the same rock at Muskegon a». about 1.850 feet. That being the case it Is probable that. If oil is discovered in Barry county In the Traverse form­ ation. it can probably be readied at a depth of somewhere from a thousand to 1200 feet, which would mean a good raving as compared with the cost of driving a well in the Muskegon fi.dd.

Must Show Value of If . Its Service to Bell Oo. for • •• >500,000 Latter Oo. Pays The supreme court of this state has given a decision which Is adverse to the Michigan Ben Telephone Company and ■ its parent corporation, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, in the long fight that has been carried on to compel the accounting to the State Utilities Commission for the two per­ cent of gross revenue of lhe Michigan Bel) Company. which Is paid to the parent company. The Michigan Bell Company has charged this two ixrcent as a part of Its oi>erutlng expense. The Michigan Utilities Company tn fixing rates for Michigan insisted that it had a right to know whether this was a proper charge or just a levy by tho parent company, because it controlled the Michigan Bell, ’before it would be Included as part of the operating costs of the Bell Co The two companies have refused to make the disclosure asked for. • The state supreme court now rules that, because of the refusal of the two companies to reveal the details of the contract whereby the Michigan Com­ pany pays two percent of its grew earnings to the A. T. A T. Company, the state need no longer consider this . diversion as a part of the operating ex­ pense of the Michigan Bell Company in deciding what rates the Bell Company shall be permitted to charge in Michi­ gan. The court held in effect that the eon­ . tract permits the A. T. A T. Company Vr ’ t° take money from one pocket, put it In another nnd charge the amount no transferred to telephone users in Michigan. In 1834. when the last es­ timate was made, the contract payment was placed at more • than ll.0w.000. Then the rate was. 4 1-2 per cent Now “ --------..... ----------------it is .two per cent: but lhe earcgrow Ings are larger. Probably the la cent would reach $500,000 Tiie decision of the supreme court probably will not mean a decrease tn the telephone rales, but it will operate against the Increase for Which the com­ pany had applied. Tho Michigah Bell Company’s petition for hlghe- rates has been held'up by court order. The Michigan Company is entitled to a fair net return on Its value according to Public Utilities Commission rules. This means tliat It may have returns high THE HASTINGS BANNER enough to yield this fair return above all operating costa aad expenses. The supreme court now directs that the SUte Utilities Commission must disre­ gard here*ft« the two percent payment by lhe Michigan Company to the A.

The litigation between the telephone com­ pany and the state has been a contlnour performance for several yean. A suit now is pending in the federal dis­ trict court In Detroit The supreme court decision clears up one of the most controverted points. The contract was at one time for four and one half per­ cent of the gross receipts of the Michi­ gan Bell Company. This was cut to four percent and finally dropped to two percent. Why this drop. If 4 1-2 cent was a justifiable charge? Why refuse to disclose what the 2 percent is for if it is an honest charge? The quo warranto proceeding was started by Justice W. W. Potter', who at ths __ _________ time was____ attorney ____ _ „ general _________ of Michigan. He did not take part in the ■ ■ ■ •because of his previous con­ decision nection with the matter.

We think the supreme court has de­ cided this case In fairness to the peo­ ple. and to all interests concerned. If th Michigan Bell Oo. can show the Michigan Utilities Conynission that it actually receives full value for the two per cent of its gross revenue' which it a proper operating charge. The fact that the percentage has been reduced from 4 1-2 per cent to 4 percent and recntly to 2 percent, and that both com­ panies still refuse to make a disclosure does not look like fair, honest or J usti­ llable conduct on the part of two pub­ lic service corporations. It looks like on attempt to put something over by methods that are not far removal from a "hold-up."

Hastings National Bank EIGHT HORSE TEAMS Multiple PRIZES: Classes STATE FARMERS USE Up igan Farms East Lansing. Apr. 8—Michigan farmers are using western methods of hitching horses into teams so that one man can handle from six to eight homes, and the popularity of this form of hitch has caused the animal hus­ bandry department at Michigan State College to arrange demonstrations of the multiple hitch in 17 counties of tho State. With this method of utlizlng horse power, any number of horses can be driven, as line* are used on only the lead team. Tiie other animal* arc tied in so that they have no choice but to follow lhe lead hones. Unbroken colts can be worked without any previous handling. The horses Are worked tandem so that all side draft tn plowing 1* elimi­ nated. Farmers who are using the multiple hitch say that they can plow an acre a horse per day. Animal husbandry specialists who will attend the demonstrations will carry materials to show how the even­ era which are orc used with the multiple Phone 2217 Hastings, Michigan The Only National Bank in Barry County Plowing on Mich­ hitch can ** J?0")* „har»1 Sd n£ At some £ c_ can .... be----------__ western horses ees can can be pe secured. securea, new methods of horse breaking will be shown.

Usefulness East Lansing, Apr. 8.—Kitchen table tops which have become unserviceable through wear can be restored to their former usefulness and acquire an at­ tractiveness which they did not origi­ nally have if a piece of linoleum Is glued upon the worn surface of the table, according to a statement by home economic specialists at Michigan State College. The linoleum makes a very good th low price. Linoleum which has an incons&cuous pattern such as jaspe or hreu.n for granite should u_ be rchosen for this this nurpur­ pose. i The linoleum should be cut flush with the edges of the table and either jinoleum cement, glue, or water glass used to. cement the material to the table top. If water glass is used, it should be applied without thinning, and it will set within half an hour. After the linoleum Is attached to the table, melted parafln should he applied with a cloth or brush and then smoothed with a warm Iron until the parafln is perfectly even and fills a’l the pores in the linoleum. The restoration Is completed by var­ nishing the entire surface with a good spar varnish. Hot dishes do not affect this surface, and it should last five years without any need for revamlshing.

With Knowledge of the Fact That Planting Time is Approaching You No Doubt Have Pondered and Studied On the Question of What Crops to Raise in the Season 1929 ! \ . As a rule, your, main item in crops is the revenue you receive for raising. In determining this revenue you consider three things—the possibilities of yield per. acre, selling price and market at harvesting time. In this connection we are glad to advise the farmers of Barry and adjoin­ ing counties, that we are again ready to present you with a proposition which we ask that you consider in making your plans on what to raise dur­ ing 1929. We now have stations, which assure you of a market, at the fol­ lowing places:—Hastings, Nashville, Freeport, Delton, Woodland, Alto and Middleville—where you can take your product and receive the cash on de­ livery on a guaranteed price, with seed furnished FREE. * This solves two of the problems mentioned above, your selling price, and, the market. As to the yield per acre, this depends largely on the following: Mainly the nature of the soil, manner of cultivation to conserve moisture and kill weeds, the amount of plant food in the soil to grow good, healthy plants that will grow quick, which will be more apt to throw off disease and pro­ duce more abundantly in the twelve weeks in which you grow and harvest the pickle crop. In brief, by securing a pickle contract you have a guaran­ teed price, a.guaranteed market, with seed furnished free and a twelve weeks’ crop with cash on delivery. Our Prices Can Be Obtained From One of Our Representatives Our interest is mutual, and we will do everything in our power to co-op­ erate for success. In case one of our representatives does not call on you, contracts can be secured by writing or phoning Joe DeRuiter, Hastings, Mich. HIRSCH BROS.& COMPANY « COR. STATE AND CHURCH STS.

Very few hew bills are being introduced and both bouse? arc grinding hard on tiwae which arc coming from committees. Committee* ot both houses are holding morning and evening sessions, report­ ing out a few bills from the mass in their hands, pigeon-holing many more and giving scant consideration to those which arc unimportant. Occasionally some obstructionist tries to gym the works and stir up a row. bift seldom with any great effect Among the paramount work of the week was lhe favorable report of lhe Senate Judiciary committee Wednesday on lhe amendments to the criminal code, which had already passed the House and was approved by the Sen­ ate Thursday by Unanimous vote. Tho Cuthbertson bill, which was freely amended In the Senate, went back to the House, which' refused concurrence in the Senate amendments and will probably go to a conference committee. Financial matters are almost as good as settled with the proposition of im­ posing an eight-tenths mill tax for hospitulizgUOn program. It may be changed to a half mill or three-quar­ ters mill, but the bill as a whole seems satisfactory to a large number of the legislators. It is proposed to levy tills mill tax for a definite period ot four years, which it is thought will take care of the urgent needs. A mill tax is favored for tiie reason that the revenue must be used for specific purposes and no portion ot it may be diverted. Tire poorer school districts ot the state ure almost certain to get state aid before this session closes.

Thousands of miles of ' OIL INDUSTRY. asphalt paving, a substance derived al­ The amazing growth of the petroleum industry is hardly realised by the aver­ age person. The first oil well in this country was drilled in 1859 and produc­ ed but a few barrels a day. Fifty years later. In 1909, the entire Investment in the industry was less than the present investment in pipe lines alone. Two generations ago petroleum wat best known as a medicine, nnd then as an illumlnant. The invention of the automobile was of course the turning point that determined lhe future of oil Gasoline became a necessity of life The development of aviation opened up another great field Battleships and merchant vessels became oil burners Fuel oil grew in favor tn industry and now many homes are using oil burning most entirely from petroleum, have been laid in tills country. As a result the oil industry is pre­ eminent today. And by scientific prog­ ress in locating leases, producing and refining, oil products are marketed and minimum cost The great problem at the present time Li to effect conservation and co­ operation between producers to pre­ vent waste ot thia "liquid gold." In­ tense efforts to attain this are being made that both the Industry and the public may reap the benefit ot sound­ est business methods. Death hath no other ill thought of dying. except ' the z (Continued from page on*) (Continued from psgo one) ixxal plant, one-half of the siwer fund I is out at Interest. On May 1 it will . have outstanding *7.000 of school bonds and it figures that in a few years It ! will need a new school, but It already lias a <26.090 sinking fund for this pur­ i pose, to which additions arc made yearly. ‘ Hastings is a small city, of leas than 0.000. but there Is as much incentive there as anywhere to make a allowing by cutting taxation to the limit and then Issuing bonds to finance needed work. Instead its dty commission 1-Kiks several years ahead and lays aside a proportion of ita annual in­ come to meet the cost Then the dty commission protects the funds. This, of course. Ls lhe practice In any well'managed private buklness. It would work in Jackson if our City Com­ mission was supported by taxpayers willing to forego a slight tax reduction । to enable the Commission to look ahead, build up funds for later use and reI ceive rather than pay interest.* * * I This editorial mention in the Jack­ son daily is correct except the assumpI Hon that Hastings lias the commission form oi government, which is not true. Hastings has the mayor and counc.l i type of government, which has been able to do excellent work, fully equal. | we think.-to any showing that can be made by any commission form of city administration. This goes to show that it is not so much lhe form of govern| me nt of a dty as the kind of officials l the dty may have, which really makes i a city government effident and suc! restful. ' There is no doubt in anybody's mind who knows Hastings that Mayor Perry is the one largely responsible for this dty's adopting the pay-as-you-go plan and cutting out bonds, and planning for future needs. While the school board Is entirely in­ dependent of the mayor and council, that board had. several years before Dr. Perry became mayor, started a sinking fund, thinking to get a little money ahead for a grade building. But the Idea then was that this would help la­ ter to put over a bond issue. But the school board has been for some time convinced that the citizens of Hastings will not stand for a big bond Issue to construct needed grade and junior high buildings. Therefore they have been adding to the sinking fund for that purpose until it is now <26.000. In the taxes to be levied next December there will be provided <7.000. which will be the final payment on the <108.000 Issue of bonds made for the High school building. After that, the yearly payment which has been made for the last 15 years on bond issues can be diverted to the sinking fund, with­ out increasing the taxes, so that fund will be built up much more rapidly. In a comparatively few years Hastings will have the money with which to complete new school buildings without bond Issues and with only possible temporary loans which may be needed, without mortgaging the future of this dty. Too many cities, so the people of Hasting-, think, have the idea that It is all right to put <p expensive buildings and ask the ireople who may live in the dty 10. 15. 20 or 25 years thereafter to do the paying. But. generally speaking each generation has its own problems to meet. We do not know what those may be; but we may be quite sure that something will arise that will call for . some unusual expenditure from time to j time. Therefore, it will be wise for a | dty to proceed", as Mayor Perry has । pointed out. on the pay-as-you-go plan. 1 Our school board are also committed to ' that way of doing. It is fine to have Hastings so well I and so widely advertised as it now is i for its sensible management of ita dty business, also for providing for its presi ent and future needs without Interest bearing bonds. each of the places named below:— All schools of each of lhe townships named will meet at lhe specified rime and place.

April 15.—In point of adaptation to Michigan conditions, al­ falfa seed Is divided into three classes by trials which have been conducted during the past six years at Michigan State College. For winter hardiness and continuous heavy production of hay. the group of variegated alfalfas, which Includes Hardlgnn, Grimm, Cossack, and On­ tario. has given the best results in the College trials. Common alfalfa from Montana, Ida­ ho, the Dakotas, and Michigan have not yielded as well In the tests as the varieties mentioned in the first class but the common alfalfas have given goxi yields of hay and have shown fair resistance to winter killing. The third group which lias proved to be practically worthless under Mich­ igan conditions, include* varieties from Arizona, and those imported from Ar­ gentine. Turkestan, and Peru. The plants in this group will not survive Michigan winters. Michigan farmers should choose their alfalfa seed from a variety Included in the first two groups The detailed rec­ ords of yields obtained from each va­ riety can be obtained from the crops department al Michigan State College. The tests will be continued on the College plot, and any new varieties of seed which may come on the market will be compared with the varieties whose worth has been establshed. Y. M. C. A.

The Governor sent a report to the legislature early in the week of the status and condition of the Chelsea ce­ ment plant, but made no recommenda­ tions as to Ita disposal. There err varied opinions as to what to do with the plant, which is not a paying ven­ ture owing to Its distance from a source of supply, the local supply of material having been exhausted. A suggestion that the plant be moved to some avail­ able location elsewhere Jn the state, where material may be obtained, and the plant modernized to make the con­ tinued employment of convicts profit­ able is being seriously discussed.

People derived their first impression .of the attitude of Mr- Hoover toward prohibition previous to the presidential campaign of last year. It was well known In Washington, when Mr. Hoo- <nd Mrs. he kept both the letter and spirit of tho prohibition law. He never nerved li­ quors In hls own home; never tasted them at any function anywhere. He was not originally in favor of prohibition, but when it became a law he regarded it as the expressed purpose of the American people to rid their country of this traffic. Accordingly Mr. Hoover never has purchased, served or drank any Intoxicating liquors of any sort since prohibition went into effect in the United States. Tiie people Imd another chance to know Herbert Hoovers position from What he said as a candidate for Preai- I visited dared for enforcement of the law; that rick's, in e visited ly.

In other word*, he wants it understood that, by example as well as in his public ad­ dresses, he favors the rule of law in this country. He has called upon all good citizens to respect the prohibition law. because cities will follow the lead ’how given It in Washington. "One of the foremost Federal officials associated with prohibition enforce­ ment—who happened to be a guest at the trail-blaxlng dry breakfast partytells this writer that nothing in years has done so much for 'law observance' in so-called ’higher circles.' This official described the action of the fam­ ily in question as ‘fine, brave and wise.’ as ■indicating the new spirit which U taking hold, perhaps tardily, of our thoughtful citizens.' and 'ushering in "There is pretty general agreement that it is the influence of President Hoover’s regime which led to the Eas­ tertide law-obscrvance revolution in Washington.

C. presents an excellent opportuni­ ty to young men for physical improve­ ment and training In team work, self discipline and tho principles of citizenship at government expense. These camps are doing much to pro­ mote right living and clear thinking." High schools, colleges and uni­ versities in many parts of the country recognize the value of the camps. Yale. Columbia nnd other institutions offer scholarships to outstanding graduates, while many high schools given credits toward graduation for such training. There are a number of colleges and high schools in Michigan that also give credits towards gradua­ tion to those who attend the C. M. T. camps. Michigan has two of these training camps for Basic students, and there are four training camps where ad­ vanced students from this state will be trained. At Camp Custer and Fort Brady basic, or first year students will be received, and advanced students In infantry will be trained at both of these Michigan camps. Advanced cavalry students from Michigan win be trained at Fort Sheridan and ad­ vanced artillery students will be trained at Camp McCoy, near Sparta. Wte. Both Camp Custer and Fort Brady will have hostesses to look after the welfare of the young men at these camps, and see that relatives and friends visiting the camps will be cared for. The hostesses at both of these camps will be furnished by the Michigan Patriotic fund, but they will be selected by the regular army officer in command of each camp. These hostesses will be the mother of the training camps. Mr. Newberry advises young men at­ tending the training camps this sum­ mer to take with them a single piece of hand baggage containing four suits of underwear, two suits of pajamas, six handkerchiefs, four face towels, toilet articles Including shaving set. baseball suit and other athletic clothing, in­ cluding a bathing suit, slippers, tennis racket and comb and brush.

But think of the difference at harvest timet The energetic seeds withstand dis­ ease better — grow better and stronger — produce more vigor­ ously and more abundantly. The Ferry’s Seeds that you can buy today at the “store around the corner” arc surprisingly energetic. What is more, they arc fresh. What is most important, they are pure­ bred! These Ferry's Seeds came from plants that measured up to the Ferry standard in size, color, flavor, productivity — plants that have handed their inheritance on. They are pedigreed seeds!—in the strict sense you mean when you say a race-horse is pedigreed. Their parents, grandparents, great grand­ parents — all were of fine true stocky without an inferior strain. Doesn’t this mean something to your garden? Send for the Ferry’s Seed Annua! to plan what you want. Remember that Ferry makes thousands of tests a ycijr to determine the truencss of every seed you now can spill into your hand from a bright Ferry packet. Garden facts in the Annual make it far more than a catalog. Addresi D. M. Ferry & Co., Dept. H Detroit, Michigan. j pJSMUb / Give your garden its best possible start viith Ferry's purebred Seeds.

Just plain ignor­ ance and neglect are the causes of the loss of so much fruit. There are many who doubtless do not know why their fruit trees, vines and bushes do not produce. There are others who do know and take no steps to improve the conditions. The season of fruit bloom is at hand and in a few days the trees will be a mass of beauty.—Then is the vital period.—Millions of buds and blossoms will be destroyed by destructive little insects and the fruit crop lost or badly damaged unless these insects are killed.

His authorized agents are given free access, within reasonable hours, to any farm field, orchard, garden, ele­ vator. warehouse or railroad car which, for probable cause.

The essentials are to put the sulks from an infested field in a silo if possible; if not. to shred it very fine so as to destroy the worms. Then the stubble should be plowed under com­ pletely. All com litter in the fields or about the premises should be burned. If all com growers would do this there would be no problem from the Euro­ pean com borer. 8 Dress Coats Sports Coats All-Occasion Coats KLINGENSMITH.

MANIPULATION BY BEAN WHOLESALERS CUT PRICEi ' Is Placed at the Head of an In­ stitution Which Will Make a Study of Cancer Dr. Clarence Cook Little, president of the Michigan University, has many friends in Hastings who remember the two addresses he gave.here, which were largely attended. His views on educa| lion then clearly stated were indorsed by the people of this city who heard him: and it was with regret that they learned that he iind severed his con­ nection with our university. These friends will be Interested to know that Dr. Little will now devote his entire time to cancer research work, following his departure from the, uni­ versity on June 20. When Dr. Utile accepted the presidency ot the state university he did so with the under­ standing that he was to be privileged to continue his research wfirk In biolo­ gy. especially in the study of caicer. That research had as Its object lh« study of cancer from a biological [ standpoint rather than a medical. Dr. • Little has been carrying on experiments with mice since his connecUon withj our state institution. The scene of his labors will be at Bar Harbor. Maine, and will be known as the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory. There ore several trustees, who are backing his work, who are noli known but they are said to include several wealthy Detroit men. For flve | years upwards of 145.000 a year has I been contributed for this research i work. All will be glad to know that It is to be continued under Dr. Utile's direction. The new organization plans to erect [ a two and one-half story building at the new location near Bar Harbor. The building will contain officers, labora­ tories. nine rooms for investigators and 1! rooms for animals that are the sub­ jects of experiments. There will be transferred from Ann Arbor to Bar Harbor several who have 1 been associated jith Dr. Uttlc In this l investigation. . ’■ Golden Wedding Anniversary Cele­ brated On Sunday on Sunday.

M. T. C. Detroit, Apr. 29.— (Special) Major General Frank Parker, commanding general of the Sixth Corps Area, of which Michigan is a part, who will be the guest of Reserve officers in Detroit, Ask Yourself These Questions May 0. is an enthusiastic endorser of the Citizens* Training Camps. Genera) Parker has spent many years in the military service of tlie United States government, and realizes the necessity of preparedness to keep this country out of war. "I can not say too much in favor of the training furnished young men in the training camps." he says. "I am not in favor of a militaristic govern­ ment for tile United States, but 1 do strongly advocate a government that is adequately prepared to meet any emergency, and I believe that the training camps for young men will In­ sure us peace. The young tnen will surely receive a training that will fit them as leaders tn the communities tn which they reside.. The training will make them better citizens, morally, mentally and physically.” Michigan Is fast enrolling its quota for ths training camps at Camp Custer, Fort Brady. Fort Sheridan and Camp McCoy, and General Parker urges all young men who arc planning to attend one of this summer's camp to send in their applications with their physical examination at once. Unless this is done It is possible many Michigan young men will be disappointed, os enrolling will stop as soon as Michi­ gan’s quota Is enrolled. Phelps Newberry, civilian aide to thc secretary of war. declares there is no training a young man receives that will better fit him for a successful busi­ ness or professional career than that received at a Citizens' Military Train­ ing Camp. Mr. Newberry. Is the vice­ president of the Guardian Trust Co., df Detroit, and Is himself a graduate ot one of the first training camps estab­ lished In this country by Former President Theodore Roosevelt, and the late General Leonard Wood. Mr, Newberry, as civilian aide to Secretary of War Good has established C. M. T. C headquarters at 443 Book Tower, Detroit. Michigan, where appli­ cation blanks, names of physicians all over Michigan who will make the physical examination of prospective trainees free of charge, and all other Information concerning the training camps In Michigan can be obtained. Colonel Frederik L. Knudsen, chief of staff of the 85th.. Division, who will command tlie C. M. T. C. at Camp Custer this summer, with headquarters at 438 Book Tower Detroit, will also furnished al! Information concerning the camps and application blanks. The commanding officer at Fort Brady. Mich., and every one of the 83 county chairmen In Michigan, also will fur­ nish any Information desired by young mon. or their parents. . Mr. Newberry is particularly anxious that no young man pay for his physical examination as patriotic physicians in every town and city in Michigan have agreed to make these examinations free. The government 390 in athletic games and recreation. furnishes transportation at the rate of 74 boys on educational trips. five cento a mile to and from camp, 100 at camp. pays for the food, clothing, medical | 104 at two leaders' meetings—100 and dental care If necessary, and all The Eighth Annual Farm Boys conother costs of the camp.

Quimby ' THEN DO A LITTLE THINKING The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough consideration to our finan­ cial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking 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 fam­ ily. Then it is that we face the specter of old age; without income and without means. This little statement sums up the life experience o f 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 YOURSELF 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. We will always be glad to advise with you, or render you any service th at we can. Hastings National Bank Mmm»2217 The Only National Bank in Barry County | Y. M. C. A. ITEMS j Removing the Tops of Plants Causes Marked Reduction in the Yields of Corn East Lansing. April 29.—Thc fact that the larvae of the European corn borer establish themselves ih the tops of the com plant has led to the sug­ gestion that topping the com plant af­ ter the ears have set would reduce the damage done by the Insect, but experi­ ments performed al the Monroe com borer station show that such topping falls to stop Insect damage and also reduces the yield of the com. In the experimento. the plants were topped at four. flve. and six feet above the ground. At the last height, only the tassels were removed. The top­ ping at four feet removed the stalks Just above the ears. Tlie com,borer larvae present In top­ ped stalks at harvest time were count­ ed and. in 1927, more borers were found in the topped stalks than in those which were left without topping. The yield of com was materially reduced by the topping. The results of the same experiment in 1928 were quite similar. There was a slight reduction of the number of bor­ ers in the topped stalks, but thc de­ crease in numbers was not sufficient to compensate for decrease in yield of com. folks were most kind and Invited us for another year.

Everything fed in hoppers. 2— Labor is saved, because feedings are fewer. Keep feed before the chicks all the time. 3— Less feed is wasted, because none of it is fed on the floor. Globe All Mash Starting Ration —will make a fast-growing, sturdy chick, because it is built of highest grade, materials—has proper balance of min- ernls, proteins, carbohydrates and vita­ mins, and is highly digestible.

Apr. 20.—Alfalfa Is worth 827.87 an acre when the crop is utilized as pasture for pigs and the por­ tion of the crop not used by thc ani­ mals la cut out for hay and appraised at 87.00 per ton. according to feeding experiments performed by the animal husbandry department at Michigan State College. Tills value for the crop is obtained by crediting the alfalfa with the amount of feed saved which would ; have to be given to obtain equal gains 1 tn weight with pigs on a dry lot. In i the College trials, alfalfa hay was fed ■ to the pigs which were In the dry lot. Both groups of pigs In these trials । were fed shelled corn, protein supple­ ments. and a mineral mixture. The i average dally gains made by the pigs i in the dry lot and those on alfalfa pasI ture were approximately equal. ' For each hundredweight of gain, the pigs in the dry lot required 291.7 pounds of shelled com while those on pasture needed 300.3 pounds of com to make the same gain in weight. The dry lot pigs ale 65.5 pounds of protein , supplement for each 100 pounds of : gain and those on pasture used 37.2 pounds of supplement feeds. The alfalfa pasture replaced 283 pounds of protein supplement, and. consequently, the pigs on pasture made 100 pounds of gain at a lower cost than those in the dry lot. The feeding trials were repeated and similar results were obtained In the second experiment. BEDFORD. I Last Week’s Letter. j The funeral services of Andrew G.

Even with such an impressive record to focus attention upon the outstanding value of the Chevrolet Six, many people still do not appreciate what “aSix In the price range of the four" actually means! Here, at prices so low as to be within easy reach of anyone 'who can afford any automo­ bile, are afforded all the smoothness, reserve power and quietness of a great sixcylinder valve-in-head motor. In Its speed, its acceleration, Its absence of vibration and drumming and, above all. In its economy of better than 20 miles to the gallon it completely revolutionizes every previous standard of performance In the low-price / field. And in beauty and comfort; ’ as well as In performance, the new Chevrolet Six ranks as an outstanding achievement. Its new Fisher bodies are beautifully finished and lux­ uriously appointed. Steering is delightfully easy, due to a full ball bearing steering mechanism. And the newly- ’ designed 1-wheel brakes are powerful, quiet and unusu­ ally easy to apply.

Which products do you prefer? The products that giro you the beet service Io your car. You don't buy oil and fuel by tasting, HneUing, feeling, or teeing them! They must earn your pref­ erence. They have to prow themeelvos by perfonnanu. Polarine is a product preferred by million!. In cities. on farms, in small towns—everywhere In the Middle Wort—Polarine is known and depended upon. Hundreds of thousands of people havo used it for years and years. By prosed performance Polarine has earned its popularity. Moca motorists are demanding Polarine every year because they find it gives superior lubri­ cation service In their cars. Polarine has an extraordinary service record behind jt. Imagine for a moment that you are looking at a large map of the Middle Wert showing tha thou­ sands of highways crh»-croA»ing each of the Un states—Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, WiaoMia, Kansas. Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota. Every day along the highways of all these states a' multitude of motorists are driving cars lubricated with Polarine. Day after day. year* after year, Polarine has been lubricating cars on these high­ ways—giving satisfactory service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has built its reputation for de|xmdability on products like Polarine that earn your preference by performance. You know—before you buy them—how the products of this Company will work in your car. You know—before you stop—what kind of service you will receive at a Standard Oil Service Station. 'The unvarying dependability of this Company hai received appreciation of u rather unuxual sort. Thousands of motorists every year write friendly letters to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) prtibing the spirit of helpfulness shown by its employes and praising its various products—telling of the actual service they have given. These letters are written voluntarily. They are sincere, |>ersunal letters of the sort money cannot buy. VjSBKKp.SJ ^-22^ They are more than praise of products pre­ ferred.

They have been especially severe in Minnesota, Wisconsin. Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. There have been some deaths and large damage to property In Ohio and Indiana from this type of windstorm. Michigan’s fortunate situation, sur­ rounded as It is by the Great Lakes, has saved its people from many ser­ ious windstorms this spring. But on Tuesday afternoon of lost week one went scurrying across the state. It did not touch the ground except at rare intervals and seemed to confine Its fury, to wrecking bams. The Windstorm Company began Wednesday to gel returns from this storm, which went in the usual north­ easterly direction. The first heard from was Ionia county. It next reached the ground for a little dis lance in Gratiot county and at another place on the edge of Sanilac county. About 0:30 Tuesday night of lost week, the twister dropped down suffi­ ciently from the storm cloud to hit the big barn on the farm of Charles Hooper, about six miles south of Itha­ ca tn Gratiot county. It wrecked the main bam 40 x 80 feet and the wing merit structures. Instead of being built of brash timber, the heavy tim­ bers were of elm: but even the strength of the elm could not save this Lam. It was literally flattened, as If some terrific weight had smashed down onto it. Seven head of fine reg­ istered Holstein cattie and ten pedi­ greed hogs were killed.

The dty engineer is preparing to install a pumping plant for the new sewer system. Possibly he will have the foundations mode for the new' sewer disposal plant, so that progress toward a completed system will be made. The city also will lay upwards of a third of a mile of paving. West State street to the Bookcase factory. South Broadway from Green street to the school house have been definitely de­ cided on. If enough is left in the pav­ ing fund, a start will be made toward paving Church street between Oreen and State street. These public Improvements will not add one penny to the bonded debt of our city. On the contrary, there is in the dty treasury enough money now to pay for these improvements, in the meantime another slice will be taken off the small remaining paving debt of the dty.

Plaits are now being perfected for it as tills is the time when gladioli bulbs should be planted. It will be a Barry county show. Any­ one may enter their blooms who is a reaident of the county and who has grown their blooms In its borders. Grades and colors will be announced next week. The main thing now is to urge gardeners to get in their gladiolus bulbs as, soon as possible. Tlie show will be held in August In a prominent down town display room, and ribbons will be given the winners. Out-of-town Judges will be secured.

Where that is true there can be no criticism. But we be। lieve It is also true that the importance of Memorial Day is such, and the les­ sons Imparted by it are such, that chil­ dren ought not to be taken away from Hastings on Decoration Day just to have a pleasant outing. We believe that thoughtful people are fully con­ vinced of the urgent need of Impress­ ing a real American spirit upon the rising generation, not in a forceful way. but in a persuasive way. We believe that if parents would talk this matter over with their children, tell them of the lessons that Memorial Day brings home to all of us. that they can win their children to a hearty and heart­ felt respect for the day and on entire willingness to take part in its observ­ ance by marching in the school proIt seems to us that good spirited co­ operation by parents and teachers will work this matter out in a way that will again make the marching of the school pupils an impressive part of Memorial Day. nESEHHIS kowishing INSTRUCTIVE TALK TO RO­ TA RIANS BY DB.

Not only does)I a fitting Decoration Day observance need this feature, but in our judgment the pupils of the schools need the im­ portant lessons that are taught by Memorial Day. Last year we understand that a ref­ erendum vote was had in which bal­ lots were sent to the parents bf the children. While there was a small ma­ jority in favor of the children's march­ ing. yet the margin was so small that it was not thought that, under the cir­ cumstances. it ought to be Insisted upon. We believe that the absence of the children from the Decoration Day pa­ rade a year ago has caused a reaction In sentiment that will bring a large majority to heartily favor having the school children march as in previous May 18th to decide whether there shall be a township unit school for the entire townshlp. This fcroposltion has been agitated for some time, but had not ■ come up for a vote until now.

The 49 dead hogs weighed 8.000 pounds and at the market price on the day when they reached the market would have been worth 11,000 If they had been received In good condlllorL Dead hogs are practically valueless so the shippers lost approximately »500 a car on these hogs.

Ask Yourself These Questic THEN DO A LITTLE THINKING -r-^TTX The trouble with too many of us is that we do not give enough consideration to our finan­ cial affairs. We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking 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 thia 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 YOURSELF 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 financi al 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. We will always be glad to advise with you, or render-you any service that we can.

Thus the freight Item coats the farmer a great deal. Mr. Hoover's plan for remedying this trouble Is to convert the BL Law­ rence river, with the cooperation of Canada, and the Mississippi river on our own accord, into great waterways that shall take the farmer's products to seaboard or foreign markets. This will not be a hardship to the railroads, because they are unable to handle the growing traffic. It will save the farm­ ers several cents a bushel on all their products that are sent to lhe seaboard or market abroad. We think the country realizes that that kind of help will be permanent.

May 25. is Poppy Day. and on that day the ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary will be at various places in this county with a good sup­ ply of these red flowers. The poppies put chased this year were made by the disabled ex-service men at Hospital No 100 at Camp Custer. Do your part and buy a poppy on May 25. In a recent Issue of the American Legion Monthly the following Item was printed, which we are reproducing:— While the 300.000 women of The American Legion Auxiliary and the women who are assisting them are sell­ ing poppies on the Saturday before Memorial Day. they will be Inspired by two visions. They will see the bloodred poppy of wartime, growing among the while crosses and dotting the bat­ tlefields—the symbol of sacrifice. And they will see also the millions of crim­ son poppies of the peacetime of today taking form slowly under the fingers of disabled men on hospital beds or In the workshops of The American Legion Auxiliary—the symbol of hope. Fine It is to think that each poppy sold brings back memories of the crim­ son flowers of the graves and the bat­ tlefields. But finer the knowledge that every poppy offered for sale already has brought hoj>e and confidence to b disabled service man somewhere and tiuit It will bring new hope and support to other disabled service men in the year to coma. As they pin the tiny paper flowers on lapels, the poppy sellers will think ot groceries for struggling families and shoes for little children—groceries and shoes which poppy dimes and quarters will help buy. Every penny made from the sale ot the ixippies will go for direct relief, to disabled service men and their families, and not a cent of the money taken in will be spent for administra­ tion expense* or salaries. • • • In the work of making these flowers, disabled men receiving little or n<» government compensation are given preference. A penny is paid for each poppy and the average worker is able to make three hundred poppies a day Three dollars may not seem much but to a pan who has been flat on his back for months, three one-dollar bills, act­ ually earned, may seem a little fortune.

This case was not settled until June 28. 1928, when the Illinois supreme court found adversely to Koester.

One of the alleged "lost wills" was claimed to have made Edward C Koester heir to all of Jennings' proper­ ty This waa fought through the Illi­ nois courts and waa not decided until February 1929. when It was deckled ad­ versely to Koester. « Reciting all of these matters, the ad­ ministrators claim that it has been im­ possible for the estate to be closed within the 18 months provided by the Michigan law: that It waa impossible to determine who were the heirs without taking the steps that arc required by the laws of Illinois: that they have tak­ en thORC steps as quickly as It could be done nnd that they are not responsible for the delay In the final settlement of the estate.

According to its annual report recently issued It showed gruss earn­ ings of 630.457.127.41. with new high records in sales of electricity and gas. showing also an expenditure of over 613.000,000 for additions and im­ provements. Gross earnings increased 14 per cent over 1927. Figures show that 76 per cent of the company's earnings arc derived from the electric business, 22 percent from the gas business, two per cent from its heating and water busi­ ness. Taxes for the year were higher, totaling 63.048.106.51. an amount equiv­ alent to 10 cents of every dollar of Us gross receipts. ITie company's output of electricity has now reached the billion mark, amounting to 1.IM.144,547 kilowatt hours. The sales of electricity show an increase of nearly 19 per cent over the previous year and of gas nearly 16 per ‘cent. There were 32.401 customers added to the company's lines during the year, bringing the aggregate of cus­ tomers to 428.784. Forty-eight new communities were also connected to the Consumers system in 1928 Many .small towns and fanning districts are now receiving the benefit* of tills company's service. Fifty-six private power plant* were either shut down or supplemented by the- central service of the Consumers Power Company in 1928 Marked progress was made in the] company's policy of having electric service made available for farmers. In co-oeration with the Michigan State College, demonstrations were held in 14 counties, which were attended by ap­ proximately 12.000 people. Following the company's announcement of new and lower rates for rural service, sev­ eral hundred situations are now being I investigated to determine the pcssibil- ' Hies of extension of rural electric lines. | The people of Hastings appreciate I the fact that this community Is served by such a large institution. Such n storm a* we had last week would have put the former company out of bust- I ncss here until extensive repair* could1 be made; but because Hastings was reached by Consumers lines from Bat­ tle Creek as well os from the LaBarge dam. we had good lighting service des- ■ pltc the storm. obmuimx^ Everfast Tho fashion world has decreed cotton for summer wear.

That is particularly true in this country, where teelphone and radio service reach almost every home. To have it possible for such homes to listen to the great experts in the employ of the gov­ ernment and of the great colleges and universities of this nation will be a new system of education whose Influ­ ence for good we can not begin to es­ timate.

PART TWO Haetingt, Michigafi 11 Fo Have Money! And That Is to SA VE IT by En­ trusting 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 "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 I 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—will soon 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! Hastings National Bank Phone 2217 Hastings, Michigan The Only National Bank in Barry County MIDDLEVILLE.

WEDNESDAY. MAY 15, 1»I» fJUMTWlLVl | i It costs very little to recondition a . 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 cars to run it us long as possible at u minimum of trouble and expense. Because of this policy and because of the investment that fruitions of motorists have in Mode! T cars, the Ford Motor Company will con­ tinue to supply parts as long as they are needed by Ford owners. So that you may get lhe greatest use from your Model T, we suggest that you lake it to the near­ est Ford dealer and liave him estimate on the cost of any replacement parts that may be necessary. You will find this the economical thing to do because a small expenditure now will help to prevent costlier repairs later on, increase tho value of lhe car, and give you thousands of miles of additional service. For a labor charge of only $2.60 you can have your generator put in first-class condition. A new universal joint will lie installed for a labor cost of S3. Overhauling the carburetor costs $1.50; steering gear, $3.50; radiator, $7.50. A complete overhauling of lhe rear axle assembly runs be­ tween $5.75 and $7 for labor. An average price of $22.50 covers the overhauling of the motor and transmission. TTjese prices are for labor only because the need and number of new parts depend on tho condition of each car. The cost of these ports is low, however, because of the Ford policy of manu­ facturing and selling at a small margin of profit.

And all you need to do is check the new Chev­ rolet Six against any other car— value for value and price for price! • Here, in the price range of the four, is offered a smooth, powerful, six-cylinder valve-inhead motor—which delivers better than 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline—and whose smooth, quiet, velvety operation, with its com­ plete lack of drumming and vibration, is a revelation—even to those who are accustomed to driving high-priced automobiles. Hero are beautiful bodies by Fisher. Here, in all closed models, are fitments by Ternetedt . . . rich, deep-tufted upholsteries . . . adjustable driver's seat . . . and a completely-equipped instrument panel. And throughout the entire chassis are found numerous examples of advanced engineering—such as quiet, non­ locking 4-wheel brakes. . . ball bearing steering mechanism. . . automatic acceleration pump ... and chromium plating on all bright metal. But no mere recital of features can give you any conception of Chevrolet’s value leader­ ship. So we urge you to come in and see for yourself why over 500,000 people have chooen the new Chevrolet Six since January 1st! COMPARE the delivered price as well as the Hat price in considering auto­ mobile value*. Chevrolet’s delivered price* Include only reasonable chargee for delivery and financing. o 5 S o o o t t W. A.

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY ATTEND BANQUET Methodist Mother* skid Daugh­ ter* Had Happy Time Friday Night Baskets of tulips, wild crab apple bloom* and lilac*, and green candles in crystal holders made beautiful deco­ ration* for the Methodist Mother and Daughter banquet held tn the church social rooms on Friday evening, one hundred fifty attending. An excellent dinner was prepared and served by Uie man of the church, who demonstrated that they have fine culinary ability and can cook and serve a banquet as well as women can. Following the dinner. Mrs. Robert Burch led In ilnging several selection* appropriate to the occasion which all enjoyed. Mrs Nellie Cross, general chairman, in a charming manner. In­ troduced Mr*. Frank Sage as the toast­ master. Mrs. Sage was clever with her remarks and Introduction*, filling her position in a delightful way. "Our Daughters" was the subject of Mrs. A. K. Frandsen's response, in which she discussed the relation of mother and daughter and the ideals and ambitions of tlie mother for her daughter, closing with a toast which was very fitting and beautiful. Misses Leah and Vivian Kendall gave two vocal numbers which were greatly enjoyed. "Our Mothers" wa* the theme of Miss Dorothy Barnes' toast, and she. did splendidly. Her thought was that though there might be a Florence Nightingale, a Rosa Bonheur. a Jane Addams and other women who had been famous for their various accom­ plishments. yet transcending all of these was the glory of motherhood. A vocal solo and encore by Mn. John Palmer, accompanied by Mrs Hubert D. Cook, was very pleasing. The address of the evening was given by Miss Lucy Leng, a student at Albion college. Mlsa Leng, whose home is In China, expect* to return to that coun­ try in about two month*, after com­ pleting her work at Albion where she has won many high scholastic honors. Bhe told In a charming way of her con­ ception of home—how It was a happy sacred memory to her. that hundred* of miles in distance could not lessen that memory nor take from her the sense of the nearness and companion­ ship of her loved ones. As a daughter, she spoke kindly and thoughtfully of the mothers, impressing all with her seriousness and her high ideals. "Till We Meet Again" was sung In closing and all felt that the evening had been an enjoyable and profitable one. successful In every way. Mudi credit is due the committees in charge of the whole affair. DEAN H. C. WASHBURN IS NOW GRANDDAD Formerly Well Known Here; Now Dean of University of Colorado Pharmacy School Friends of Homer C.

He be­ came so famous that many other opticians and a few physicians sought his teachings so they too might help others to see better. Thus was born in America what was des­ tined to be one of our moat helpful professions— Optometry.

Mrs. Lillian McLeod very ably responded, after which thc girls’ trio sang. i Mrs. Woodford gave an address on ' "Prohibition has come to stay." Prohl! bition has come to stay because ‘the thinking people are seeing the ef• fects of the narcotic, alcohol. There I have been many and varied experiments to prove the effects. Just one of Uie many she gave. A certain number of stenographers were given things to typewriter, their time taken and error? counted. Then each was given a small amount of alcohol Then their time taken and errors counted and there were more than twice as many mistakes. "Booze and gasoline or booze and electricity will not mix.” There is as much alcohol in one j bottle of wine as in two bottles of beer or three ounces of whiskey or 1 '1-4 ounces of alcohol. The W. C. T. U. have been behind the bill that was passed by the legislature to have sec­ tions put in the text books about hy­ giene and narcotics. Whatever we would have in the future we must have in the schools today. “we jtfuH know as you buy shoes for your feet Your shoe dealer carries your size In different types of shoes, for different needs, at different prices.

YARDS WHILE SWITCHING OARS FELL BETWEEN MOVING ' CARS WHILE BRAKING ■ Said Brake Chain Broke While He Was on Top of Car Tight­ ening Brake Wheel Claud Sanford of Grand Rapids, aged i 43. was so seriously injured in an acci- i dent at the freight yards in this city, about 8:30 Saturday forenoon that he died at Pannock hospital In the after­ noon about four o'clock. His wife had I been summoned from Grand Rapids ; and gave her blood for a transfusion in a last but fruitless effort to save his life. He was not operated upon because his condition was such that the sur-' geons did not think it advisable. | Mr. Sanborn was a brakeman on thc local freight that makes thc run from Grand Rapids to Hastings in the fore-1 noon, does switching at lite local yards] and then returns in the afternoon to Grand Rapids. He was on the top of one of two cars that were being switched and that were coupled to­ gether. He was. so we are informed, working at the brake wheel when thc chain that tightens thc brake broke and he was dropped down between thc moving cars. He was dragged about 30 feet. His right leg was so badly mangled that, had he lived, it would have had to be amputated near the hip Joint. The Injured man was immediately removed to Pennock hospital. Il seemed doubtful from the flrat that he could recover. But later he seemed to im­ prove and it was hoped that an ampu­ tation would save his life. Thc left limb was also injured but no amputa­ tion would have been necessary on that. The sad feature in this case is that Mr. Sanford had a large family, con­ sisting of a wife and seven children. Had he recovered he would never have been able to do railroad work again. Il is doubtful if he could have ever done any sort of work. He carried in­ surance in the trainmen's organization, which will bring some relief to his fam­ ily. We do hot know what were the actual circumstances of the accident nor of the responsibility for it but It is more than probable that the railroad company will pay something that will be of substantial help to lite family." The body was taken to Grand Rap­ ids for burial. Mr. Sanford was /highly regarded by all who knew him among the train crews on this division. His untimely end was sad news to them, as well as a great sorrow to his family. SPEEDYTRALSRE SULT IN LESS CRIME (Continued from page one) lish civilization would perish. The re­ sult was that. Instead of thc law's de­ lays and instead of the lax methods of dealing with criminals, measures were enacted which provided for the speedy execution of the law upon criminal of­ fenders. As a result of this change. England today ta comparatively free from crime, nothwithstanding population is con­ gested to a far greater extent than kt is in the United States; and notwithstand­ ing the fact that it has far worse and far more numerous city slum districts than we have In this country, the com- tied it for themselves that there was only one way to pul an end to the reign of crime in England and that was to provide 4or as speedy arrests of criminals as possible, speedy trials of criminals when arrested and swift and certain punishment, with none of the law's delays which are a disgrace to our country. Thc English method of proceeding against criminals was. of course, es­ tablished in Canada, which is a Crown colony. The same methods are fol­ lowed there as in the mother country and the same results are obtained. There’is not one serious crime com­ mitted in Canada to 20 in this coun­ try. There are five limes more mur­ ders in the city of Detroit than in the entire Dominion: more murders in Chicago than in all of Great Britain. How did England put nn end to the reign of crime? Il did it by centraliz­ ing the authority that deals with crime. Judges are appointed by the government and responsible to the gov­ ernment. They cannot be reached by a maudlin public sentiment on the one hand nor by the friends of criminals on the other. Prosecuting attorneys are not elected. They are chosen by the government. Both officers hold their positions for life or during good behavior. They are in their positions not because of 'politics, but because of fitness. When a crime is committed in England, officers begin at once to fer­ ret out the criminal. When he is ar­ rested. he is promptly put in Jail or prison. Within a comparatively short time, usually but a few days, he is brought to trial. There are no loop holes and no technicalities in English law. It is a straight, square deal for all parties concerned The prisoner is tried on the merits of his case and. if found guilty, is promptly ana ade­ quately punished We believe the time will come in thia country, and it may not be very far away, when this same method of deal­ ing with the crime situation will be found necessary in the United States Judges and proaecutors will be appoint­ ed by the governor and responsible to him. Tire governor will be charged with the responsibility of executing criminal laws throughout the state. It may be that even sheriffs will be subject to his appointment Buch Crimea as exist in Chicago and Detroit testify to this one thing; that DCrciUC KlATinMAI TO EXTEND WATER MAINS. the council of that village lopped off 30 there must be corruption and ineffi- ntUC,Vt HIA I IUMAL Evidently the wave of living within percent from the regular expenditures ciency in government; that officials HONOR CERTIFICATES the municipal budget and "pay-as-you- for this year, and propose to invest the who are elected by popular vote feel 13,500 thus saved in water main exten­ go" has struck our sister village of sions, which will increase the village that they must know thc public pulse I before they act; feel that public sent!- i Hastings Teachers Given Rec­ Nashville.

England; ■ by their fighting a long, desperate and successful war against that country for I the establishment of our Independence, The war of 1812, he said, was due to thc assertion of American manhood: to tiie fact that we demanded the right • to be recognized os an lndc|>endent , nation, above submitting to have our. commerce interrupted by England or i any other country. When it came to the Mexican war, I he said thc less we discuss it the better; for the object for which we fought that war really could not be defended.' He quoted from n letter written by [ Abraham Lincoln about thc time that war began, in which Lincoln severely criticized the motives that had ac-I tun ted those who began that war. as j far os this country was concerned; and Lincoln surely was a patriot. Tiie Civil war was a strife of brother with brother That, he said, was thc tragedy of it. Patriotism in tiial perlod meant standing by the Union. He said that recently lie hod visited one of hk warm |M*rsonal friends. Dr. Rowland, minuter and publisher of Richmond. Virginia.

Dr. Rowland a southerner replied.-’'It was undoubtedly due to the south's unbreakable pride, which would not let them yield." , In the BpanLoli war and again in Hie World war American motives had been worthy. We did not undertake them for our own aggrandizement but for the sake of principles that we hold dear.

Added advantages are to be had in the splendid churches, and various lec­ tures and gatherings which center about the community of Hastings. »“The Fortnight," the High School paper, is in its sixth year of successful publication. • The Hastings High School is known throughout the state for its wholesome in­ fluence over the students. It is the only high school in Barry county that is a member of the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, which means that the gradu­ ates may be admitted without examination to all the leading colleges in the North Cen­ tral section of the United States. With an attendance of nearly 500 stu­ dents and a faculty of 22 high school teach­ ers, opportunities are offered which are not possible in a smaller high school. Yet every non-resident boy or girl receives individual attention and is welcomed by both students and teachers. We have a full time Physical Director for boys, and also one for girls. We also have a Dean for girls to look after their social welfare while attending school here. Good roads make it possible for students to cqme from long distances. This year stu­ dents living as far away as fifteen miles have driven back and forth daily to Hastings High School. Others living much farther away have been at home week ends. Provision is made at the schqol cafeteria for high school students to purchase lunches at cost. Tuition is $75.00 per year.

The regents were forced by his discovery tn some forgotten docu­ ments of thc Supreme Court a decision which acknowlttigod that, the Univer­ sity was In existence In 1827. Through other old Records CulvcrJ proved the University was founded September 12. 1617 by a Roman Catholic priest and a Methodist minister. The University was at first established In Detroit. The date of 1837 can lie considered, how­ ever. because It was Ip that year tha^ the school was transferred from De­ troit to Ann Arbor when Michigan was admitted to statehood.

Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, “Oh, if I had only saved my money wl?en 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.

This is necessary in order that they may understand agricultural chemistry, which will be more and more necessary to maintain soil fertility and to keep land up to a high producing capacity. Marketing problems will also need con­ sideration. so that well informed men ought to be at the head of fanning operat ions as they will be conducted tn the future. Rural school terms average only about seven months a, year and go no farther than the eighth grade. That is not going to be enough for the people who are to conduct farming operations in this country. The need for better instruction in order to grasp Ute problems Involved and work out their solution is becoming more acute. BUt hosiery .UuU u Ind. all other Argentine exports from the United States.

They had pretty good luck too. as they usually do. Naturally there was a little rivalry between the two fellows to see which one oould land the prize beauty of the day. In quest of this honor Fred sneaked up to a nice deep hole and cast his bait In. It didn't much more than strike the water before there was a terrific splash and a fearful tugging on hto fish rod. In order to escape capture, trout have a very annoying way of darting under a bank and winding the line around a big root, or A sunken log This trout was no exception, and suc­ ceeded in winding Fred's line several times around a big root. By getting over on the other side of the bank he could see that the fish was a beauty, nnd of unusual size, but a deep pool of water would have to be negotiated to land him. But that didn't stop him for a minute. Removing his clothing he plunged in. and after a brief struggle emerged with a beautiful 16-lnch trout as a trophy, and the envy of ail who saw U. Fred admits that the water was icy cold. but says that it was worth emulating "September Mom" to cap­ ture such a fine speckled beauty. ONE AUCTION | MRS. MARY LAUBAUGH.

Manager Branch of the Strand has It is the claim of Mrs Gladstone that the father and mother, in the summer informed the writer that, at the prea- 1!^ Ty 1 o iul: Sri iX: theatet with talking picture apparatus, and expects to announce ths opening very soon. The advent of talking piclures has taken the country by storm, While the improvement is wonderful, yet up to the present time there have been a lot of things against the pro­ ject. ' Those who have closely followed the talkies from the beginning up to the present time will quite agree that there have been at least six out of eight that were poorer than th* silent. For this reason the Strand has not hurried Into the calamity. Several theaters that started first came to grief before they had progressed very far. Some theaters have thrown out their equipme'nt de­ claring they would never turn back again. But that is folly, because they are here to stay. While they are in many instances crude, some of them are beyond belief very good, and mark an advanced step In the industry. Mr. Branch says: A sound picture or talkje tn one theater may be unsatis­ factory and good In another. That is one of the things of which a careful study'has been made. The acoustic properties of the theater have the most to do with the success of the venture. The Strand is going after this item with no expense spared. Heavy padded car­ peting is being placed in the aisles and in the foyer to prevent disturbance from those entering the thclter after the performance has begun, as well as to take away any possible chance of echo from hard floors. Some of the walls are being padded, and heavy drape.'i are being installed on tile stage to avoU any echo from that source. Il may be necessary to treat all the walls and the celling with a wool preparation before we gel the proper tone. One thing is sure, the opening will not be announced until we are in a position to produce on a par with all the larger theaters. Most of the equipment is already installed. A look at the in­ stallation would resemble a power plant such as is used for a small city. There is one thing that makes it hard to Introduce a feature of this kind." says Manager Branch, "in a small town, and that is that the pa­ trons of a small theater are very erttiCkl. The least thing that goes wrong with the device will bring complaints and much ridicule. While in the big­ ger cities they hare had no end of trou­ ble. but very little if any comment is noticed, as they seem to think that if agement wlU do it. For instance,*just a short time ago, at the beautiful Rial­ to theater In New York City while they were playing “Close Harmony," the star.' Buddle Rogers, was playing the musical instruments which he does in that pic­ ture. The sound that was coming from the machine was singing and it was necessary to stop the show and start all over again. Now this same thing has happened in all of the larger thea­ ters While we. hope it will not occur liere. it is liable to happen and the public should remember that tills is in its Infancy and is bound to Improve until perfection is attained. We are going to attempt to make this addi­ tional improvement without increasing the cost ot admission and expect that the only time we do increase admission 1 it will be on the big specials, the same as we have always had to do. as the prices of admission are entirely con­ trolled by the producer on these out­ standing pictures." "We have investigated all the various makes of apparatus and have finally decided on equipment which will, in our estimation, measure up to the standard of perfection that we have always maintained. We feel that In adding this quality to our entertain­ ment. without Increase 'in price, will Increase our attendance enough to war­ rant the extra expenditure, and that the public will be lenient enough to bear with us in the little difficulties we may encounter with this new fea­ ture. We will assure you that we will experience no more difficulty than thea­ ters do elsewhere. The producers pre­ dict that, starting with the releases of next September, there will be no more silent versions, so It is necessary for us to follow the trend of the times." QUOTE SPECIAL PRICES.

More accurate fuses have also been developed. To those who doubt that the anti­ aircraft gun has sufficient accuracy to combat aircraft. It may be of interest that the probability of bursting shells at a point near enough to the plane to be effective has been calculated, as­ suming no errors in laying Ute gun. Thus, at a range of say two and one half miles, if the gun is correctly laid continuously, the probability of a shot being effective to about 3» percent; at a range of four miles. 25 percent. These percentages are for a three-inch gun. and would be greater for the four-inch gun. As the actual percentages now obtained are about one fourth as much, here is an Indication that future prog­ ress in fire control will result in in­ creased accuracy. even though no otlier improvements be made in the gun or *ta ammunition. .

We believe it will be wise for our dty council to study this matter, with a view of placing the charge, for use of public sewers by dtl-1 gens or institutions on a basis that will maintain the plant, just as the dty maintains its water works, not by taxes upon property, but by charging for service. The sewage disposal plant will be in the nature of public service. To maintain it there must be reasonable rates. [City ownership of the sewage plant will be different from one indi­ vidually owned.

No matter whether we enjoy it or not WE ARE ALL GETTING OLD. Every day brings us just that much nearer to the time when we must quit the active pur­ suits of life. When that time does come (as it must to all) what a feeling of contentment and satisfaction it will be to those who have provided for the "RAINY DAY" that comes to all. Have YOU thought this over? Have YOU taken stock of the future? Have YOU thought of how you and your fam- ily will be provided for in your declining years? • There’s JUST ONE sure, safe, sane way to meet this situation—and ONLY ONE. That is to save a portion of your earnings in your younger days to care for you in your older years.

But the most interesting phase of Pontiac's latest and greatest success lies, not in the number of people who are buying it, but in the kind of people. They gne the real clue to the value this car provides. . MOTOR OILS It’s a hard life for the modern motor! Traffic is congested. Engines are built with higher compressions. Cars are driven faster. Motors run hotter. Correct lubrication is more important than ever before. Only the richest and sturdiest motor oil will stand up unejer the strain! Polarine will do it! Polarine is rich —sturdy—steadfast! It covers every frictional surface of the engine with a protecting cushion of oil. By draining the crankcase every 500 miles and refilling with fresh Polarine, you insure satisfactory lubrication of your car—at mini­ mum cost. Iso^Vis is an oil of unusual quality. It lubricates the engine faithfully— to stand up under the strain of today’sdriviug. Like Polarine, Iso=Vis is rich and sturdy and steadfast. No need to drain the crankcase so frequently if you use Iso=Vis. This new type, constant viscosity motor oil gives a new type of lubrication service. It will not thin out! It wears and wears and wears! For smooth motor miles —and a long life to your engine—use Polar­ ine or Iso °Vis. They are depend­ able products of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). They are the motor oils you can trust. Al any Standard OU Service Station and al moil garage. delivery and Gnancu>(. BRANDSTETTER MOTOR SALES PHONE 2502 HASTINGS, MICH.

The dog ran to the east and out Into the garden, where it ran around to circle* os rapidly as It could go. frothing at the mouth ns it ran. Then as a sort of di­ version tiie dog commenced to run around the house. While the dog was speeding around the house, Mrs. Chase took advantage of her opportunity to run Into tiie house, from which she culled her son Donald, who was near the bam. and warned him of the pres­ ence of the mad dog. She also directed him to bring the shot gun and shoot the dog. Donald rushed up with the loaded gun. Just as a neighbor, who owned the dog, drove up in a car to warn them of the fact that the dog had suddenly gone mad. In the meantime, the crazj-d animal had run under the porch at the Chase home. Ths step was pulled over And the dog made a rush for Donald, but the dog didn't get very lor. A charge of shot from Donald’s Run put an end to his misery, and per­ haps ended a serious mad-dog epi­ demic.

FINE ATTITUDE OF MR. A. A. ANDERSON Offered to Donate Land for Safe Broadway and West State Road Corner WJxat we consider a fine attitude to­ ward an improvement project was shown by Mr. A. A. Anderson of Grand Rapids, who is very well known here and will be remembered by many peo­ ple of Barry county as having filled the _ position of cashier at the Hastings ~ City Bank for many years. Mr. Anderson owns the east eighty acres of the old McElwain farm and therefore has nearly a half mile front­ age on the proposed paving of M-43 from the Broadway bridge north to Woodlawn avenue. The state has to make paved trunk line highways to the full 100 feet wide, so it had to acquire a strip of about 17 feet wide, running the entire length of Mr. Anderson’s farm. He readily agreed to the nom­ inal price that was offered for the land. When that had been arranged he said to Mr. Cook, the solicitor for the State Highway Department, who secured the right of way: “Now I have a proposition to make to you. That comer from M-43 on Broadway, leading south where you turn to make M-37 la about as bad apomer as I have ever seen. If the Highway Department will agree to put that comer In good shape, so as to make it safe and easy to make the turn I will donate the land for it." With some other experiences to mind, Mr. Cook nearly lost his breath when this generous offer was made. He readily agreed to putjhe matter before the State Highway Department and felt sure they would be glad to avail themselves of Mr."Anderson's proposal. * TWO BATTLE CREEK MEN ARE ARRESTED Calhoun Co.

The new plan also will prevent the jamming of bills In the last few hours of a short session of congress, which always occurs when a session begins in December and must end on the fourth of the following March. The new arrangement will be a much more timely one and will pro-* vide for more mature consideration of legislation by congress. The United Stales senate has, for theI fifth time tn recent years, passed a, resolutloh proposing a constitutional , amendment to provide for meetings of congress to begin each year on Janu­ ary 2nd. The resolution also provides, that the term of tiie President shall begin on January IS instead of oni ' March 4. | The principal reason for the proI posed amendment is to abolish short; sessions of congress after general eleci tlons. also to bring the beginning of a president's term and the term of congressmen closer to the dale of their' election, in the hope of causing more prompt legislative expressions of the। people's wishes as expressed at theI polls. At present a member of confess doosi not take hto seat until 13 months after his elecUon. unless a special sessioni of congress has been called.

The acconunodat! ing spirit and the community service i shown by local banks as now organized ! would be a thing of the post. They would be run upon purely cold-blooded business principles, with the one idea of making all the profit possible, with­ out thought of so conducting the Insti­ tution as to minister lo the develop­ ment of the community. , We do not know Just why the United I States commissioner of banking should , want such a monopolistic banking sys­ tem as thia built up.

SIGNER RECOMMENDS THAT COURSE "THE BETTER STORE FOR MEN" \ FINE EXAMPLE OF THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR NOTHING MORE HURTFUL TO Sir Esme Howard Banishes SMALL CITIES THAN THAT Liquor From Washington Residence A Local Bank Conducted by Lo­ cal Men Is a Real Com­ munity Asset In a recent issue of the Wall Street Journal, the national commissioner of banking recommended that there be given to National Banks lhe right to establish branch banks in any place where they pleased. This would follow the English and Canadian plan, where a few big banks monopolize the whole banking field, having branches In all the principal cities and even small towns in the Dominion as well as in Great Britain. That would mean the end of the Independent bank as we know It now. One can Imagine what a situation that would bring to a city like Hastings. Instead of having two Independent banks, with people In charge who are directly responsible to local stockhold­ ers and depositors, who have authority, to pass upon all applications for loans, it would mean that a mere clerk or hired manager of some great Chicago or New York bank would have charge of the local institution, with very little liberty of action. He would be required to make application at the home bank at Its big city headquarters before authority could be had to make loans no matter how worthy. It would mean the end of the local Independently-owned banking Institu­ tions that have been so helpful In the past In building up and maintaining the smaller communities. The big city bank for Instance would have no inter­ est in Hastings. All It would have here would be Its branch bank so operated as to make It Just as profitable as posalble. without reference to the town, without reference to what a bank might be able to do for a town and would do for it If it were a home-owned, home­ managed institution. Few can realize what such a situation would mean to smaller cities. We all know what it has meant to small towns to have chain stores, with headquarters in some big city, substituted for the home-owned institutions, where the owner is directly dependent upon the 1 The people of the United Blates will appreciate and approve the action of the British ambassador at Washington. Sir Esme Howard. In stating to the United States government that he la entirely willing to conform to the laws of this country, so far as the use of li­ quor in the British embassy is con­ cerned. So liquor has been banished from the British ambassador's home In Washington. As our readers know, the home occupled by an ambassador from a foreign country becomes, to all intents and purposes, a part of that country. The laws of the country from which ■ the ambassador comes apply to the em­ bassy; and that is true with regard to | the British ambassador. If a foreign ambassador wishes to bring liquor Into I this country, he has a right to do so if; the lain of his country would permit him to have It In hts home. This Is international law and usage. It is fine for the British ambassador to show a willingness to respect the laws of the United Stales when inter­ national law did not require It of him.

HASTINGS, MICHIGAN �THE HASTINGS BANNER Wednesday, June 12, 1929 Better Relation* With Thi» Country May Fol­ low the Overthrow of the Conaervative Party in Great Britain A political overturn ocenred in the recent elections In Great Britain, where lhe Labor party ousted the Conserva­ tives from control of the British gov­ ernment. Tiie Laboritea did not get a majority over all others, but they came within a small number of votes of hav­ ing an actual majority in Parliament, and a combination with the Liberals the ancient rivals of the Conservatives gives the Labor party control. The new Premier of Great Britain la Runuay MacDonald, who occupied that position when the Laterites won In 1934. While Mr. MacDonald U a Socialist, he Is not at all extreme nor la his party. It is usually found that responsibility has a very sobering effect upon radical people. It will probably be true that the new labor government trill be mild­ ly socialistic, but will only favor such socialistic ventures as will meet general approval. There arc a good many departments pt public business conducted by local, state and national governments that can be classed as socialistic. Instead of having the postal department run by a private business concern, our govern­ ment does it. The government. In a modified way. exercises control over railroads and telegraph corporations. States, in a modified way, exercise con­ trol over telephones and other means of communication. States also exercise a Op-tom-e-trY DEDICATED TO Conservation of Vision good deal of control In matters pertain­ ing to health and public welfare in ways that are socialistic in ttieir na­ ture. Cities like Hastings have their own water works systems, which they conduct without profit. Some cities go farther and own and operate their pub­ lic' lighting systems; but. generally speaking, these do not work out well. We art- mentioning these matters to show that what we call socialism is be­ coming more and more a part of govern­ ment. It is only a question of where it will stop. It is generally agreed that U ought to stop wherever private initiative and private ownership can do a better and more economical job Public ownership is apt to get into politics, and then it becomes Inefficient and very expensive. Probably serious dissatisfaction in England had much to do with the over­ turn of the Conservative government Something like 3.000,000 men tn Eng­ land. Scotland. Wales and North Ire­ land are out of work and are being paid small "dole*" by the government. That is a serious situation. There her been considerable dissatisfaction with the Tory government because it seemed unwilling to cultivate better relations with other nations, particularly with the United Stales. It is expected that one of the results of the British political overturn will be that thc United Bute* and England will reach an accord os to the limita­ tion of armies and navies, and will un­ doubtedly bring many other nations into lhe agreement. Mr. MacDonald made an issue in his campaign ot the necessity of an agreement with the United States and other nations with respect to limiting armies, navies and armaments.

EIM] Writib nr a ooirvnronro MANirtt rOB COLLIRR'B WIEKLY MERITED REBUKE TO THAT PUBLICATION Telia Or!tic a of Prohibition in United States to “Put Up or Shut Up’* Collier's Weekly of this week con­ tains an article written- by Senator Borah, which we think deals with critics of prohibition in a most con­ clusive and convincing manner. The article is headed "Put Up or Shut Up." What Senator Borah means by Oils title is fully explained In lhe well writ­ ten and timely article. Senator Borah gives a merited rebuke to Collier's Weekly, which has been publishing a series of articles, al) criticizing the 18th amendment and Vohtead Act. telling about the bad conditions that exist in this country thereunder; but as Senator Borah state* in his answer, not one of these critics has offered a single suggestion ot what the country should do In the event of tiie repeal of the 18th amendment and the Vol­ stead Act. He insists that it is up to the critics to suggest some remedy for the acknowledged evils of the liquor tnftfic. If they cannot put up such a remedy they should shut up. Just finding fault will get nowhere. . Senator Borah, as will all reasonable dry men, concedes that the liquor traffic te not easy to handle. It never has been. He says that there may possibly be a better way of dealing with it than thy 18th amendment and the Volstead Act. although up to the pres­ ent time no such better way has been presented ar even suggested. He pertinently asks the critics if they want to go back to the old-time saloon. They will all declare they do not. Then he makes some quotations from reports of conditions In England, where they have saloons, where drink­ ing, drunkenness and drinking by wom­ en are reported to be terrible and on the Increase, despite the hard times from which England Ls now suffering. If the opponents of the 18th amend­ ment wish to try the Canadian system, having government saloons and gov­ ernment control of the traffic. Mr. Bo­ rah answers by quotation from a lead­ ing Toronto paper, which says that, under the government system, bootleg­ ging ts worse than it was under the prohibition law which preceded it; that drunkenness is on the increase; that arrests for intoxication are far more then they were under the old law—all of which would Indicate that the Canadian system lacks a good deal of being perfect and does not cure the very evils of which the critics of the 18th amendment complain. The Canadian paper also claims that crime is on lhe Increase in Canada; that other hurtful things flowing from the Canadian plan can be seen there by critics who may wish government con­ trolled saloons. The very same evils can be seen there as can be seen here where the 18th amendment has been adopted, such as bootlegging, moon­ shine liquor, etc. The Injustice and folly of just find­ Ing fault are clearly shown by Senator Borah in Ills article. The critics of the 18th amendment say they do not want the saloons back: but they do not tell What they do want. They Just find fault, which is unwise and hurtful. The Idaho senator says that no one could criticize the enemies of prohibition if they present some program which they believe would be better for the public than the 18th amendment; but they do nothing of the kind. They just criticise and offer nothing, thereby hindering the work of enforcement, without doing any constructive good. Therefore the senator has a right to use the heading for his article ' which he did "Put Up or Shut Up." To criticise is easy. Any fool can do that To criticise and offer no. remedy Is worse than foolish. Everybody concedes the evils of an unrestricted, uncontrolled liquor traffic. To demand that the 18th amendment and the Volstead Act be repealed with­ out offering any suggestion of a substi­ tute remedy for the liquor evils is the rankest kind of nonsense.

The life and yield of alfalfa stands may be greatly Increased if lhe crop U cultivated every spring or summer es­ pecially if the stand is poor and weedy according to lhe research department of the National Association* of Farm Equipment Manufacturers. Cultiva­ ting is done with spring tooth cultiva­ tors equipped with rounded teeth, or with regular alfalfa renovators. U no other implement is available, the spike tooth harrow will do considerable good if used when lhe weeds and grass are small. Cultivating destroys the weeds and gives tiie alfalfa a chance to spread and make use of all the moisture in the ground and Improves the quality of the hay.

The commissioner calls attention to lhe fact that the urgent need of pav­ ing and maintaining trunk line high­ ways,pill call for as much of the reve­ nue derived from the gasoline tax and weight lax as Is now used for that pur­ pose, so that there ought not to bo any diversion from that fund. Every new mile of highway means an additional cost in maintenance. Ev­ ery year requires the widening of old highways, building of new ones and the maintenance of all state highways. In addition there is the requirement for new bridges, grade separations at dan­ gerous railroad crossings, also road­ side improvements, all of which come In for their share of the highway money. With all of the large expenditures made by the state on its highways the state's highway system Is not keeping up with the increase of traffic, which the peri­ odical counts of that traffic disclose. The State Highway Commissioner says: "I believe that by confining the present automobile taxes strictly to highway expenditures, no additional tax will be necessary to carry out the pres­ ent program and to eventually meet the needs of Increasing traffic. If this is true, it is only so because of the fact that an increase in traffic also increases weight tix and gas tax. For the pres­ ent the BUte Highway Department, with -its high ratio of fixed charges, will be severely crippled during its pro­ gram for lhe next two years if any of the revenue is diverted to other sUte needs. It is possible that the federal aid amount may be increased. If con­ gress can be convinced of the needs. In the meantime Michigan must take in­ to account iU else, its needs and the gigantic burden of maintaining the roads we already have. During the next two years sUte trunk lines will toul 8,200 miles and before very long will reach a total of 10,000 miles. It can be seen from the cost of building and maintaining these roads that there should be no decrease in the amount of revenue given the BUte Highway Department for Its work. GUYS CORNERS.

You can hear the knocks but you can't see what causes them. Poor gasoline may look like the best. You can't see the gums and the sulphur in it — but if they arc present they are sure to damage your car. Gums clog thc pipes—form on valves—nnd valve beads do not scat properly. Sulphur causes acid — acid cats wrist pins and cylinders — and you pay for repairs. To clear up gasoline, to take out sulphur, to eliminate gums, to make it sweet and clean are expensive processes.

Don’t Let Your Community Make the Same Mistake f Within recent yean many qpmmunitici have made, the mistake of paving thrif 'roads and streets at what they considered a “bargain price." The tax­ payers thought they would save thousands of dollars. In many instances the maintenance has not only wiped out the hoped for saving, but has exceeded original cost And in many cases also it has been necessary to build entirely new pavements—of permanent construction. There are communities, however, which know the cheapest is not always the best. Many of these also built roads and streets several years ago. And they built for permanence with concrete.

T. Colgrove. In chronologcal order the first fire was on his Suntot farm tn Rut­ land. when the flames destroyed the residence on the farm. By good work the fire was prevented from spreading to the bams and other outbuildings. The next fire was on another farm, about a half mile south of the Sunset farm, when In the night lime the bam was destroyed by fire. Fred A. Smith and his son. who were returning from the second fire, came up the road to the Sunset farm.. When they first looked at the Sunset farm barns they saw no sign of a fire; but in a very few minutes thereafter they saw that a blaze was going Inside the bams. This was on the same night as the burning of the barn on Die farm south of the Sunset farm, and a little while there­ after. By good work Mr. Smith and his son put out this fire, thus saving all the out buildings. It is believed that still another attempt was made ter set fire to these bams, because a charred stick, reaching out from one of them, was found where the fire had evidently burned Itself out without communicating to the buildings. A lit­ tle after midnight Tuesday night of last week the house, barn and gran­ ary on another farm belonging to Mr. Colgrove. about a taile west from Sun­ set farm, burned to tlie ground. It was evident that someone who had a grudge against Mr. Colgrove had set all of these fires. On Wednesday of last week it was definitely found out that the one who about 40.

Debating Question of Installing Electric Equipment Or the Same as Present System The onsumers Power Co. has sub­ mitted to the council figures for the In­ stallation of an electrical equipment for Hie operation of pumps al the water works station by electricity instead of steam. The figures submitted show that the cost of Installing a complete electric equipment for the purpose will be 17.400. The council realizes that there works plant. It would be a water lube boiler and. when completely Installed, would cost somewhere between 85.000 and 86.000. it Is estimated. The coun­ cil already has a sinking fund of 84.000 laid aside for the purpose of installing such a boiler, so that no bond issue will be necessary. It will be seen that by­ adding about 82.000 to the estimated cost of the new boiler a new electric the plant can be Installed. This can be done without interference with the present plant, until the shift could be made from steam power to electric power. Tile Consumers Company submitted figures showing that, as compared with steam, an electric installation will, save about 82300 per anuum In the opera­ tion of the plant. The aidermen are not being stampeded by this offer, but propose to Investigate in cities which already have an electric installation for pumping. Nearby cities that use elec­ tric power for their municipal water works are Albion. Ionia and Alma. In the first two cities there Is stored up for use in standpipes quite a quantity of water, which has decreased the cost of pumping.

In a recent article in - one cf the magazines Roger Babson, known as tiie world's foremost economic statistician, made some predictions with referena* to lhe future, particularly with regard to lhe cities of the future, that we be­ lieve will be interesting to our readers. Mr. Babson believes that In the not distant future airplanes will be so per­ fected that they can make landings In much smaller space* than are now nec­ essary for a landing field; that they much smaller field than is now pos­ sible. He believes that this will mean that people will leave the congested I quarters of big cities, al least all those In a position lo do so. and will find places to live in the open spaces where, with a limited landing field they can lake off and arrives in alrlanes. He believes that people who have bus­ iness or .employment in the cities will then take advantage of this situation, have their residence In more healthful locations in rural districts and that the elites of the future will, therefore, not be as large as they are now. In other words he believes that. Instead of more concentration of population In cities, there will be a decentralization of pop­ ulation. caused by an exodus Into the country to a distance of anywhere from 30 to 100 miles, which will mean very little with a small airplane, which could be readily controlled, which could stop In a far smaller space than Is now required. One can hardly imagine what a dif­ ference It will make to lhe civilization of the future to end the congestion in cities, to scatter the population into rural communities, where a better life will be possible, where one can have all the comforts of city life and be free from lhe crowds, congestion and the other Inconveniences tliat now make urban life. cs|>ecially in the big cities a thing to be dreaded.

B« OIL CO. STOCK Cill ■ BE BOUGHT An Interesting legal point arose in the trial of Claud R. Wiswell who Ilves in Richland. Kalamazoo county, bull I who was charged by the State Fire; Marshal with —’burning a building r with intend to defraud an insurance company.” The law under which the informa| lion and warrant were drafted in this (case reads as follows: I "Every person who shall willfully 'bum any building or buildings or any goods, wares, merchandise or other1 | chattels which shall be at the time in-1 sured against loss or damage by fire; or shall willfully cause or procures lhe, I same to be burned with intent to In-, I jure the insurer, whether the person ; be the owner of the property or mot,• shall be punished by Imprisonment in tiie state prison for not more than' ten years." According to evidence gathered by< the Slate Fire Marshal, who asked fori a warrant In this case. Claud E. Wls-I well did conspire with his father and| with another person to “willfully cause j or procure the burning of buildings and, property" on Uic Wiswell farm tn Prairieville, with the intent to injure' the Insurance company. Prosecuting Attorney Bauer made' out lhe warrant in the case, following the usual form laid down In.Tiffany's Guide, which charged that Wiswell did "willfully conspire to bum the property with the intent to defraud." In this case Attorney Laurence Bar­ nett represented the defendant. Mr. Barnett at tiie trial produced a decision of the Michigan Supreme Court cover­ ing this very matter, in which the Su­ preme Court held that the statute, which we have quoted, contains two distinct offenses as follows: 1. Being an accessory to the burning of a building which required actual presence at the time the fire was started. 2. Causing or procuring the start­ ing of a fire with intent to defraud an insurance company, This would have required the Infor­ mation in tiie case to set up the two types of offenses. 1. Being an acces­ sory to the burning of a building which required hls actual presence; and a । second charge, that of causing or proI curing the setting of a fire with intent to defraud the Insurance company. The proofs produced in tiie case (showed that Claud Wiswell had left I the scene of the fire about five to seven ■ minutes before the fire was actually I set. Hence, according to lhe ruling ofj the Supreme Court. Judge McPeek held' that as proofs showed that Wiswell was not actually present at the setting of toe fire, he could not be held under toe warrant and so he was dlseharged on that technicality. Judge McPeek could not do otherwise, in view of the rul­ ing of toe highest court in the stale; but It shows how technical some of the laws ot Michigan really are.

One of lhe great values of thrift lies in the fact that it enables us to take advantage of opportunities when they come. "1 had a fine opportunity but was not able to take advantage of it be­ cause I could not raise the money.” This statement, often heard, typifies tiie experiences of many. Disraeli Pr.arhioc—2:00 P.

If we are to take advantage of opportunities for advancement and improvement, we must be ready from Uic standpoint of education, ability, health and money. It is not the point of view of this writer that opportunities come infre­ quently. It is rather our viewpoint that when we arc ready for them, opixmunlllea of advantage will not be fcng delayed. The great point to bear In mind, however, is that opportunity will mean nothing to us unless we are fully prepared to take advantage of it i when it docs come.

When Com county was settled—and Casa U not different from any other county—roods were very poor and transportation was by wagons drawn by horses or oxen, by horseback, or on foot, and a community was a small area. The residents ot that communi­ ty usually built a church, and some­ times, because of denominational com­ petition and excessive emphasis of doc­ trine, two or more churches. Today a community may, and does. Include the territory for miles around a given center, that center usually be­ ing a village or some other point where people naturally congregate for some K'xxl reason. This has been partly to blame for the eliminaUon of many socalled country churches, and Cass coun­ ty iuu around twenty such churches, or more than one for each township, that have ceased to function, and the county has two whole townships in which there arc rc|x>rtcd to be no regu­ lar religious services held. It is also true that the weaker churches in tike villages have passed out. The churches that remain are, con­ scientiously wc will admit, endeavor­ ing to do what they can to meet the religious needs of their respective com­ munities.' but their job is u much big­ ger one than was the Job a generation or more ago. They should be able lo meet the needs of their village, and in addition should ^reaching out for hilles to where church doors have long since been closed.

Halting!, Michigan A Successful Future Is Within the Reach of Every Man, Woman or Child ruire the Habit of Thrift and Economy Some people seem to expect SUCCESS to come “all at once.” It-ffnay in some fortunate cases, but that’s far from the general rule. Success is usually a matter of slow growth. The beaver, with his tiny little teeth, gnaws and gna\vs 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 meaji for you to be stingy and niggardly, but to cut corners 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 prin­ ciples. 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.

W/ien We Are Young, Strong and Full of Life, That Thought Doesn’t Make Any Great Impreuion On U». All formi 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, nd preparation is made to meet the days of sickness—and they will come. No consid­ eration 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 Hiat time will come to all who live. Young people today should consider these things—and many of them do. But too many have fallen into the habit of spending their money just as fast as they make it—and in too many instances just a little faster. Sooner than they now think, 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 age comes, you know you wilLbe prepared for it. We know .of some young men, and young women, in this city who started on the system of SAVING by depositing in this Bank a* 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.

V- QXe Chevrolet Six offers all the DistinctAdvantages of BODYAy FISHER STYLE QUIETNESS The new Fisher bodies on the Chev­ rolet Six are unusually smart and attractive. Concave front pillars lengthen the profile—the effect of the aide paneling extends well up over the roof line—and all rear quarters are artistically molded. As a result of their composite wood and steel* construction, Chevrolet's new Fisher bodies are exceptionally quiet. The roof is padded to pre­ vent rumble. And wherever wood and metal contact, a layer of insu­ lation prevents nolle. COMFORT APPOINTMENTS Tn comfort, too, these new Fisher bodies represent a marked advance. The seats are deeply cushioned. Upholstery is "built-up” for added luxuriousness. And the driver's seat is easily adjustable, forward and back. STRENGTH Another outstanding feature of these new Fisher bodies is their sturdy construction. Built of selected hard­ wood and steel, they provide a measure of strength, endurance and safety that is unapproached in any other low-priced car. RQAD>m....*525 All hardware fittings on Chevrolet enclosed bodies are designed and built by Ternstedt. Door handles are of the remote control type—window lifts are smart and convenient—and all exterior bright metal parts are chromium - plated. FINISH No single feature of Chevrolet bodies has created more widespread coaoment than their beautiful finish' made possible by the superlatively smooth surface of the steel body panels. Applied against this silken surface, Chevrolet finishes are uni­ form, lustrous and permanent.

Hil­ bert of Woodland has operated a pri­ vate bank in that village. Some Ume ago he associated with himself hte two son*, the late Lawrence M. Hilbert and Victor Hilbert. Early last winter Law­ rence passed away. Victor Is not in ro­ bust health and was unable to take up­ on himself the duties of cashier, which were so long performed by hte brother Lawrence. This situation has caused the father. P. F. Hilbert, who Is getting to a Ume of life where he must relieve himself of some of his responsibility, to make the private bank into a state bank. Accordingly a new bank, called the State Bank of Woodland, has been organlzed under the law* of Michigan, stock being subscribed largely by people living in the village and surrounding j territory. The bank was organised with a capital of 125,000 and a surplus of 88.­ 000, all of which ha* been paid In. Operations will begin July 1. The officers of Uie new bank are a* follows: President. F. P. Hilbert; Vice President. John Veite; Cashier, Keith Bowman; Directors, the above officers and John Dell, Albert Reesor and ,A. D. Miller. The new bank will take over the assets add business ot the old bank. Under Mr. Hilbert's direction the private bank has had a successful career. Naturally conservative and scrupulously exact in all deals, Mr. Hil­ bert has piloted his bank through to deserved success. It was hte ambition to have hte sons succeed him; and it was hte plan to organise It as a state bank when that event happened. The death of his son Lawrence and the fact that hte other son is not now physi­ cally able to carry the responsibiliUea obliged Mr. Hilbert to change hte orig­ inal plan of ownership and to make the bank a Woodland Institution. In which there will be several stockholder* aside from himself. Woodland te a fine field for a bank­ ing institution. It te the center of one of the best farming districts In the date. Mr. Hilbert's connection with the bank as president and the associa­ tion with him of John Veite as vice­ president. both long identified with Woodland, make it certain that the bonk will look after the Interest* at Woodland. The cashier. Keith Bow­ man. was for some Ume connected with the bank at Caledonia, but later was In Freeport for a brief time. He has made himself a factor In the organisation ot the new Woodland bank and ho has been chosen cashier. and seVBntle*. Our state Is now, through its Con­ servation Department, trying to grow timber on the cut over tends; but it Is a slow and tedious process. Had the cut­ ting been regulated and carried on ac­ cording to the present conservation methods during the lumbering period, the growth of new timber would have taken care of the present demand. The tragedy of the matter Is that millions of acres were ruthlessly cut over that can never be used for agricultural pur­ poses; but they would have continued to produce Umber profitably had the proper methods been used. BOY SCOUT ACTIVI­ TIES ARE ARRANGED Include AH-Patrol Rally, Re­ hearsal of New Band, and Other Events A varied program of Boy Scout ac­ tivities has been arranged for the first week tn July, with the outstanding feature an All-Patrol Rally Monday evening.

All parents are urged to participate In the supper and social hour, and then wit­ ness the various contests. Instead of competing by troop*, the patrote will vie with one another for honors. Each troop la divided into two or more pa­ trols, and with the smaller unite con­ testing, keener rivalry and greater in­ terest are expected to result from the rally. On Tuesday. July 2. the Boy Seoul Band will hold a rehearsal In the City Hall. The call which went out several weeks ago for former members and all ether boys interested has met with a hearty response.

Opposed to Eubank was Morris Roush, who was in fine form, and let the visit­ ors down with five hits, and but for an error would have scored a shut-out. this one error being the only one that Hastings made, and unfortunately coming when it counted. Bellevue scored her two runs tn the first inning after three men should have been retired, when Martin of Bellevue crashed through with a fine threebagger. scoring the two men who were on the bores at the time. That was all there was to the game, as far as Belle­ vue wa* concerned. Roush permitting only three hits to be made off of hte de­ livery in the remaining eight inning*. For the first three Innings Bellevue seemed invincible, the score standing 3 to 0 in favor of the visitors al the end of the third. But in the fourth, a com­ bination of three good hits, with three Bellevue errors, permitted six Hastings men to cross the plate. In the fifth Hastings annexed two more, and an­ other in the sixth. That ended the run-getting, and following te the score by innings: — Innings Bellevue— Hastings— Batteries—Eubank and Mahoney for Bellevue; Roush and Oalusky for Has­ tings.

The Individuals and companies were utterly helpless, because the sen­ ators or representatives are entirely Immune from prosecution for whatever statements they may make while on the floor of the senate or house. This is a rank injustice. No person who is not a member of the senate or house would be privileged to make charges involving the Integrity and character of Individuals or companies, especially to charge individual or cor­ poration wrong doing, unless he. could substantiate in court the charge he made. Why shoufd a member of con­ gress or the senate of the United Blates have a privilege which is denied to the citizen? What good can it pos­ sibly do to clothe a member of the senate or house with the right to make SAFETY-PREVENTION CAMPAIGN.

A Successful Future IsWithin the Reach of Every Man, Woman or Child Who Can Acquire the Habit of Thrift and Economy Some people seem to expect SUCCESS to come "all at once.” It may in some fortunate cases, but that’s far from the general rule. Success is usually 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 corners" every place you can. The road to "Success’ always begins with a Rank Account, and we offer depositors every accommodation consistent with safe, sound banking prin­ ciples. 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 ha ve started many young men and youn£ 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 result, our youth and young manhood—and it is natural that it should be no preparation is made to meet the days of sickness—and they will comp. No consid­ eration 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 many of them do. But too many have fallen into the habit of spending their money just as fast as they make it—and in too .many instances just a little faster. Sooner than they now think, 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 age 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 SAVING by depositing in this Bank as much as they could each week, or each month. It would surprise you to see some of thosp accounts today. Why not let us HELP YOU in the same way? For your own good you cannot start any too soon.

"WHATS GOOO ENOUGH FOR CHAMPIONS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MI That’s what one of our customers said the other day when he came in and bought a whole set of Don’t Let Your Community Make the Same Mistake XVitliin recent years many communities have made the mistake of paving their roads and' streets at what they considered a “bargain price." The tax­ payers thought they would save thousands of dollars. In many instances the maintenance has not only wiped out the hoped for saving, but has exceeded original cost. And in many cases also it has been necessary to buihpfcntirely new pavements—of permanent constriction. There are commiuritie', however, which know the cheapest is not always the best. Many of these also built roads and streets several years ago. And they built for permanence, with concrete. These concrete pavements, built in accordance with approved standard: of construction, are in as good condition today as when they were built. Ulrich of these comruumtia will yours be? today for our free ilhulrated booklet— "Concrete Street' for Your Town" Gum-Dipped Tires.

BASSADOK DAW1B AMD BRITISH PREMIZE DISTINGUISHED GATH­ ERING OF LEADERS Early Agreement on Naval Re­ duction Is of Outstanding Importance Tlie dreams of those who have visioned world peace and »o6d will arc nearer realization at the present time than ever before. Two events occurred on Tuesday evening of last week, in England and Scotland, which are significant of the new spirit that is in the world. United States Ambassador Charles G. Dawes made his fin.t pub­ lic speech in that capacity, at a dinner given in his honor by the Pilgrims So­ ciety of London. On the same even­ ing Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon­ ald delivered his pronouncement to residents of his native town. Lossie­ mouth. Scotland. Not since Uie tense days immediately following the World war liad such a distinguished gathering of leaders of British life attended tf Pilgrims Club banquet as that which welcomed Am­ bassador Dawes to England and heard his important declaration tn behalf of the American government tor a new method of realizing world disarma­ ment. Ambassadors, cabinet ministers and the most influential men of affairs in the British Empire were guests of the club that evening and heard General Dawes read his address and greeted him with tremendous and prolonged applause. Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson, in greeting the new repreeentaUve of our government, said: "It is hot many days since you oet foot on these stirred our imlglnation by your pur­ poseful energy, your characteristic hustle and by the refreshing natural­ ism and directness of your actions.” Mr. Henderson, emphasized the com­ mon desire of the people of America and Britain for peace. "Whatever mischief makers and busy bodies may ‘'without hesitation and qualification the British people look upon the Unit­ ed States and all other nations with only peace in their hearts." (Continued on page three) GUN LAKE DAM GETS SUPERVISORS' ATTENTION Property Owneri Ask That a Spillway Be Oonitruoted at Lake Outlet A delegation of Oun lake property owners came before the board of sup­ ervisors at their recent session and re­ quested that a spillway be put In at the outlet of Oun lake, to take care of sur­ plus water in the spring. They report­ ed that, during the very high water in the spring, also when the breakup of the ice occurs, that damage is being done to the trees as well as shore lines along that lake. They also reported that low lands are being flooded, banks caved in and other damage. They said that this situation could be remedied by having a spillway, so that the level of the lake would not get to high az to cause this damage. It will be remembered that court action fixed the level of the lake, which is maintained by the dam, at somewhere near 30 Inches above what was formerly the low level of the lake. It was found that the building of the Gun river drain had resulted In lower­ ing the level of the lake to such an ex­ tent that resort property was being Injured and resorting made very un­ pleasant. As a result of this, by court ncttafi. the mean level of the lake to tie maintained by the dam was definite­ ly fixed. But there wan no spillway provided, so tliat when the water became abnor­ mally high It could not be reduced ex­ cept by running over the dam. There were complaints also from peo­ ple who own much land below the dam. They said that their lands are being damaged by an overflow of water in the spring due. they believe, to the fact that there is no spillway so as to regu­ late the outflow. To prevent thia damage they recommend that, after the resort season is over, the spillway be opened so as to lower the level of tlie lake below that which the court fixed as the level to be maintained, and then keep it open until the floods of the mid winter and spring, when the boards could be put back in the spill­ way and the level then kept up during very delicate questions suggested by the representatives of the property owners who came before the board. The board selected Buoervtoors McCann of Irving. Parker of Thornapple. Mayo of Maple Grove end Graves of Yankee Springs os a special committee to im­ mediately visit the ntece and make recommendations Mr. Parker gave a verbal report for the committee, with­ out making any recommendation for action as to the spillway.

There is also paid to Michigan cities out of this tax $2,000 per mile for the maintenance of all paving made and paid for by and within each city which has been taken over and has become a part of a trunk line highway. Last year the total amount paid, to the counties of Michigan was a little in excess of $9,000,000. It is expected that the total this year will be a little more tiian $10,000,000. The counties get half of the weight tax and $6,000,000 also from the gasoline tax. There arc some features about this method of distribution that are not quite fair. For Instance, take Wayne county, which has in it about one third of the population and fully 40 percent of the automobiles of the state. Wayne's one half of the weight tax paid by the owners of automobiles who are residents of that county, and its share of the gas tax based on automobile ownership will produce an immense fund, so that in a comparatively few years Wayne county can pave all her county highways, while other counties will have only a part of their trunk line highways paved and none of their county highways paved. A big share of the weight tax naturally should go to Wayne; but the. people of Wayne 'county use the highways of other coun­ ties. It would seem only fair that a pert of the weight tax that now goes to Wayne be used to help sparsely settled counties where trunk lines need to be paved and for maintenance work on county highways as well. Take Barry county for instance, with about 31.000 or 32.000 population and (Coatinued oo page three) 200 feet of two Inch hose, gasoline en­ gine and pump with which to fill the tanks, and other paraphernalia that would be used with such an outfit as thia.

It was a complete outfit with all-the thermometers and other appliances required to "do the work It was supposed to do efficiently. This still had n capacity of 100 gallons in 24 hours. Upstairs in one of the rooms was a big round tank for holding mash, from which the contents could be pumped os required Into a smaller tank, from which it was fed into the still. Down in the cellar were two more circular tanks of the same size as the ether, each of which was about seven feet and a half in diameter and about four feet, eight inches deep.

The state ought to find a way to help Its cities and counties build and main­ tain good roads. If necessary another cent could be added to the gu tax anfl all of It given to counties and town­ ships. That would add about *8.000,000 to the amount to be apportioned and would mean that something like *28,000 additional would be paid to this county for road maintenance, which would probably be divided between the townships and the county. Suppose the county were given half. It would add *13,000 to the *47.000 which is now available. If we had Tarmac roads and their maintenance was no more expen­ sive than lias been figured—which ex­ perience tuts proven so far—tiie amount received from lhe state would then pro­ vide for practically all the cost of main­ tenance of our county roads. MUD AND DUST MUST GO. Twenty-five years ago in this country a good road was lhe exception, rather than the rule. Now we have the great­ est highway system in the world. The growth in use of lhe automobile was responsible for this development. Money ipent for improved roads is returned in social and industrial bene­ fits. Highways are the foundation of community progress. Now a new phase of highway expansion is appearing, the building of secondary or feeder roads. Roads arc being extended into rural dlst rtets as never before since methods have been revised for using asphalts and road oils to give water proof hard surfaces at a,minimum of expense. — Women's suits with sun-backs and regulation modelij at $3.98 and $4.50.

For Ins tenet In thta particular case no doubt there were persons who could, in just driving by the old Cobb house, easily detect the odor that would indicate that the liquor law was being violated. But lhe lupram* court of tills state ha* ruled that that is not zuffictent evidence on which to base a search warrant. If sUch a boto* were raided at night, tb* effieee* inasl know, must have evidence to suhalanUate their belief, that Uquor is actuaUy pres­ ent in th* house, or a search warrant made at night. As there was no way at determining whether there actually was liquor in the house without getting into it. and as the occupants of lhe bouse were constantly there, it can be seen that the sheriff would hav* no way of finding out whether there was liquor in th* house so as to raid the place at night. In order to search such a place in th* day time, the supreme court has required that lhe officers must nuke the search between • sunrise rnd sun­ down. The court of'la-it resort haaal­ so ruled that thq officer* must have evidence that gives them reason to be­ lieve that liquor is being made in the house,,or have proof thft liquor has actually come from the house that b under suspicion, before it can be raided in the daytime. As we shall show later. Sheriff Leonard had In this case ac­ tually seen a big load of sugar go to this house and unload. He was an eye witness to the loading up of this same truck with 20 five-gallon can* of alcohol He later captured the load, together with the driver and .the truck. With this as tangible evidence a search war­ rant could be legally obtained and was issued. Sheriff Leonard has a lot to do. as anybody knows who is acquainted with what he actually does. Although he had reason to suspect this place he could not devote all his time to that, although he did have it under surveil­ lance and watched it whenever he had an opportunity lo do so. Last Friday evening, from a point which gave him opportunity to see what was going on at the old Cobb house without being seen.

It was after nine o'clock Friday night when the man drove away. The sheriff followed this truck to Middleville. When he had a good opportunity, un­ der the glare of one of the street lights of that village, the sheriff shot ahead of the truck and stopped hl* ear direct­ ly in front of it so that the truck bad to stop It was not long before the sheriff, after a brief chase, had .the Sicilian in his firm grasp. He then rent word to Deputy Sheriff Bell of Middleville The latter came and took . the prisoner, while the sheriff took the load ofebqoxe. AU were brought to this city. As a result of this capture it wbis possible-lo issue a search war­ rant. which was done. The sheriff, Underaheriff Green and the ten others mentioned, waited at Uie Jail until about four o'doqk in the morning, then drove out to a point near the Cobb house. When the sun was up tiie officers made the raid. Tlie sheriff renashed in the south door of the house with its big glass window. Some of the party went in through a bock door which they forced open. Two of Uie officers went to the basement. . where they caught Piazza in charge of the operation of the still. They ar­ rested him He was forced to hold up hi* hands white they searched him and found in his pocket a wicked knife, with long stUetto-Uke blade, which this crook would undoubtedly have ured if he had had the oportunity and thought it would do him any good. Others of lhe party rushed upstair* where they found Tony Speak, the old man. He and Plana evidently looked after the still, but he was asleep on some sacks sluffed with straw when the raid was made. He was very much aroused when the officers rushed into his room, breaking th* door m they did so, They arrested Speak, searching him as they had Piazxk. They found nothing in the clothing which he had on; but hanging on pegs on the tide of lhe bouse wm a brand new suit that, evidenUy belonged to Tony; In this wm found a revolver, on* of lhe latest models of rapid fire guru. Tiie Sicilian would no doubt have used it if he tzad had a chance. BoUi Sicilian* were placed under arrest and brought here with Rusao. Th* throe captive* were m dumb m oysters when an effort wm mad* to get them to say anything- They knew almost nothing. Frank Piazza said lie was a fanner and insisted that he knew nothing about a still, although he wm caught in the very act of oper­ ating one. Tony Spook likewise claim­ ed to be just a fanner and to know nothing whatever about the liquor bus­ iness. They would not tell who owned tiie plant, who hired them. They knew nothing about anything. Of courze they had been thoroughly instructed in and were carrying out instruction*. Sheriff Leonard, realising that this 1* a big case to handle in lhe courts of this county, realizing too that^Under lhe laws of this state there criminal* could not be handled as successfully or punished as severely as they could un­ der federal law*, decided after consul­ tation wity the prosecuting attorney to turn the case over to the federal au­ thorities. Accordingly three federal of­ ficers came here Saturday afternoon, look the prisoners, also the confiscated truck and the 150 gallons of liquor, with them to Grand Rapids. The atUl was ment tank were smashed and the con­ tent* let go where they would. The dozens and dozen* of barrel* on the premises were also demolished. Every­ thing that had any connection with the still was reduced to a melancholy ruin, so that no attempt could be mode to salvage any of it by lhe owner, who­ ever he may be. The Cobb farm passed out of the ownership of members of Uiat family some time ago. The title to the prop­ erty rests at the present time in the name of John E. Oogo and wife of Grand Rapids. He Is said to be a real estate dealer. There is an S8.00Q mort­ gage on the 267 acres, which ta owned by the City National Bank of BatUe Creek. We have no definite authority, but it Is reported that this property was leased to whoever put the Sicilians tn charge of the house late In April It evldenUy took some time to install the still, the vat* and make all the connections. We have heard that at one time there were about a dozen Italians. Uiere late in April and early in May. We understand that the still had been in actual operation for about four weAu at the Ume of the raid. At­ tempts were made to cover up what was being done in the house and give it the appearance of being inhabited by real folks, by bringing occasionally to the place a woman and two children. Sometimes washings would be out on the line and the children would be playing about the premises. At the time when the raid wm made there were some women's things hanging on n line, indicating that they had been placed there not long ago. It must have been a mighty uncomfortable place to stay In with the house tom The older of the Sicilian* claimed to be a fanner and actually did cut some hay., What use was made of it can hardly be guessed as there was no live­ stock of any kind about the premises— not even a chicken. We would say Uiat the location was not well chosen for the purpose; yet sonwUmvs Just such a location as that would be most likely to disarm sus­ picion. We have heard It reported that whover rented It paid but »25 a month rental. If that Is true. Mr. Oogo stands to lose a lot of money. In one of the rooms upstair* a big mash tank had been placed. It was so heavy that It smashed down through the floor, not actuaUy going down Into the first story, but breaking tiie floor and the studding because of Us weight.

There may be some manner by which the name* of tlie real owners of the still can be learned; but they are hot known at this writing. One of the federal officers who came alter th* three prisoners seemed to know the Uquor situaUon in Grand Rapids, where the liquor made in this still was taken. He said that there acre two Italians there who are trying to get control of Lhe illegal liquor traf­ fic of Grand Rapids. Between the two Uiere is. according to this officer, very bitter feeling, which has resulted in a member of one of the rival gangs be­ ing killed. The house of another one has been blown up with a bomb. An­ other one was kidnapped and mode to pay a heavy ransom. This show* who arc the responsible parties for this traf­ fic They are foreigner* and they hire foreigners to do the dirty work for them. . According to this same federal officer, the three Bicillans who werq arrested would earn from #12 to 115 a week at ordinary work. They are not compe­ tent to do any work requiring skill. They are hired, however, according to this auUiority, by the "higher-up" men and are paid liberally—said to be <50 a week—which looks like an 'immense fortune to these poor Sicilians. They are trained in one tiling, and thorough­ ly trained, tliat they must never name their employer and we understand that they are oath-bound in tljgt matter and, according to our authority, they are made to understand that they will pay with their lives if they' shall "squeal" on lhe man who employed them. Those who know the Sicilian* know that It was in Sicily that the in­ famous Mafia cutthroat bands origi­ nated and have carried on for cen­ turies. The Mafials. a highly organized criminal conspiracy for blackmailing, robbery and banditry. From among the membership of such criminal gangs can be recruited Just such men as were arrested at lhe Cobb farm. Member* of the Mafia are desperadoes who would not hesitate to take life. The fact that two of the Sicilian* arrested here were armed when captured abundantly proves their criminal type. Wc arc wondering Just how comfort­ able men must feel who buy bootleg whiskey, when they know tliat their money I* helping to build up such a criminal conspiracy against our coun­ try and Ils constitution as we have out­ lined in this case. The heads of this criminal business who live In Grand Rapid* can be Judged by what the fed­ eral officer said about them. The three men arrested here can be Judged by the fact that one of them carried a wicked knife and another had within easy reach the very latest type of re­ volver. Knowing the Sicilians, it can be taken for granted that this pair had these weapons to use in carrying on their criminal work and probably would not hesitate to use them if they thought by so doing they could get the best of tho officer*. While the owners of this particular *UU will lose what­ ever their investment was in It, will lose 150 gallons of alcohol. It is prob­ able that Uiey have realized enough out of previous sales so tliat they will not suffer any loss. It Is the three Si­ cilians that will have to take the brunt of the affair, unless the hlgher-up* can be located and punished; but that 1* not probable in view of conditions which we have mentioned. The Uquor made in this still was manufactured from com sugar, which had been dissolved as far os it could be in water. By the use of big quan­ tities of yeast, fermentation would re­ sult. The swarms of files that were around tiie vats showed the character of lhe messy stuff that was in them. One can hardly estimate how much fly Juice would be mixed with the product which the consumer finaUy bought. The product of this still was really alcohol. We understand that pure al­ cohol would run about 190. according to the standard applied to test alco­ hol. Wc understand that the product that was made tn the Cobb house would test at from 170 to 180. We are told that this alcohol is used as a basis for the stuff, peddled by bootleggers. It Is not sold to the consumer direct, but te mixed with water, doped up with coloring and then sold as whiskey. Sheriff Leonard and his force are to be highly commended for their action in this matter. To have made such a raid as this and to have done It so successfully is a fine accomplishment for the sheriff. It shows that Barry bounty has a sheriff whom we can all be proud of. And he has as depu­ ties men who stand well a* citizens and The prisoners will undoubtedly be taken under the recently enacted Jones law. passed by congress a few weeks ago. Under that law an Imprisonment of five years tn Leavenworth can be handed out to each of them also a fine of up to HOMO can be imposed. Prob­ ably these Sicilians could never pay Uie fine. It the federal officer* can get next to the owner* of this still and to the employers of the throe men. they may be able to get a large harvest in fines. Tliat these msn are In Uie em­ ploy of some higher-up* who are well to do is shown by the fact that a per­ son appeared at the Jail Saturday af­ ternoon for the purpose of balling the COMPANIES BELIEVE STATE HAS A GREAT FUTURE SEVERAL WELLS VISITED LAST WEEK Difficult to Locate Structures Because of Deep Glacial Drift In company with J. M- Sisson, who is the field man for the East Ohio Om Company’s Michigan development, the writer had the privilege one day last week of visiting neighboring countie* where drilling for oil is being conducte<Tat tiie present time. . The first well visited was six miles rest and about one half or three quarter* of a mile south of Vermontville, on thf trunk line that leads from Vermont­ ville to Charlotte. This well is in Chester township. Drilling has been carried on to a depth of around a thousand feet. No oil was expected at that depth and none lias been found. We understand that Grand Rapids parties are carrying on this develop­ ment. The next well visited was at Belle­ vue. It is located on the property of the cement factory in that village. According to reports the well is down to a depth of 2500 feet So far no gM or ol) has been found. Wc understand that the purpose te to carry It down to a depth of 3.000 feet. The next field visited was two and one half miles south and a mile west from Decatur in Van Buren county; where the first Van Buren oil well is located. Oil was struck in the upper Traverse sand at a depth of 970 feet The rate the well was producing indi­ cated a 00 barrel a day well. It is a very high quality of oil and would command a topnotch price on the market. We understand tliat. after oil was discovered, the mistake was made of shooting the well, which let in a lot of salt water, which has drowned out the oil so the well te being drilled to the next sand below, to a depth of about 1.700 feet. It is believed that this well is now down to the Dundee sand. The salt water is being kept away from tlie well by means of a six inch pipe lowered inside of the eight: inch pipe. Tlie fight against water ta the main difficulty in this well. It will! be some time before it te 'definitely' known whether it will succeed or not.' It is very evident that there is oil in) this field. In Mr. Sisson's judgment? a mistake was made In not core drill-] Ing In tills particular locality. Had, that been done lhe dome of the struc-' lure might have been found and so the trouble wiUi water might have been avoided. Two other wells had been driven in this same locality, but far­ ther toward Decatur than the last well. These produced no oil. Three miles farther west and a UUte to the south, just over the line in Cass county, another wcl> has been driven tailed Uie Baker—Norton wen. Thte wm put down to a depth of about 1,700 countered, estimated to be at lhe rate of a n-illlon feet per day. Mr. Baker who is <rilling lb's veil, Is an old Oklahoma and Texas driller.

The mistake was made in chi* well of boring th the oil rock too fur, so tliat water wm encounterod. which drowned cut the gM. Interest­ ing work is belnj carried on now to keep out tiie water.

They believe that it will be a big producer, possibly lhe biggest in the country. It is diffi­ cult here, as we have said before, to locate oil structures because they have been covered with several hundred feet of glacial drift. But there are cer­ tain IndlcaUons of ot] which, with Instnunents in the hands of experts, do help to locate structures.

Among the interesting books of । travel in this list te “Vagabonding at Fifty" by Helen C. Wilson and Elsie R. Mitchell. These two enterprising ladies set out lo tramp from Siberia to Turke­ stan and the book tells how they did It. Harry Foster never falls to be enter­ taining and "Combing the Caribbees" does not fall to sustain his reputation. It has the added charm, too. of seem­ ing to he something which the author actually enjoyed writing. Hta publish­ ers sent him to lhe West Indies to write a guide book and he put into the book of travel all the adventures that would not go into the more formal type of book. Jan and Cora Gordon's "On Wandering Wheels" te an account of thqlp travels from Maine to Georgia in n rackety sedan. They went in search of romantic America and de­ cided that they had found It. It seems probable that the average reader will agree with them, "t Discover Greece" by Harry A. Franck is more amusing than most of hta books, but It te to be feared that the natives of that country will not appreciate all of It. as his ac­ count! seem to have been somewhat inAuenced by the heat of a..Greek sum­ mer. Among the new biographies we thought Gamaliel Bradford's "As God Made Them” might be enjoyed by those who have come to know hta delightful style. This book contains portraits of certain distin­ guished Americans of the 19th century. Concerning Agnes Reppller’s "Pere Marquette' wc quote from the "Book­ list". "With a magic touch, tlie time, the scene, and the motive of the holy father's travels are here reconstructed. The forests and the plains are repeo­ pled with the Indians he sought to convert and the mighty rivers and lakes appear as the marvels they were to the early explorers. And through it all the character of Jacques Mar­ quette. scholar, missionary and gentle friend, takes on a reality.” "Th* Problem Child At Home" ought to help some mother. "Walting In the Wilderness" and "Watched by Wild Animate" ' will be read with great pleasure by those who are Interested in nature-study, and who Isn't at this time of year? ‘ If there te some old song that you have forgotten and wish to know again perhaps you will And it in Read 'Em and Weep" Commander Elteberg's "On the Bottom" is the thrilllnr account of the raising of the 8-51.

Fortunately, more thought constant­ ly is being given to thrift of health. It was recently announced that the Rockefeller Foundation last year spent more than $21,000,000 in practical and experimental medical work while with­ in recent years it lias spent $144,000.­ 000 for the same noble purpose. Vacations are taken for the purpose of conserving one’s health. When they are so planned and carried out as to be helpful along these lines, they are by no means a waste of time—they are. quite to the contrary, a good ex­ ample of thrift.—By 8. W. Straus.

I To Every Car Owner: At Indianapolu, in the sizzling heat of Memorial Day, 33 of the world’s greatest racing drivers matched their skill and daring in a terrific battle to win the Annual 500-Mile Automobile Sweepstakes. It was a terrific grind. Hour after hour these cars roared over the rough, Sun-scorched bricks of that famous 16-year-old Speedway, only to drop out one after the other until only 13 finished. It is impossible for anyone to fully realize the abuse that tires receive un­ der such gruelling tests. These races, however, give Firestone an oppor­ tunity of proving to the world the quality and durability of Firestone Gum­ Dipped tires. Firestone's Gum-Dipping process of saturating each cord of the tire in rubber solution, insulating every fibre before the tire is built, minimizes in­ ternal friction, thereby insuring the owner the greatest possible safety and the longest tire mileage. This feature, by the way, is exclusively Firestone’s. We all know there is no substitute for quality. And when this added quality can be obtained at no extra cost, it is very easy to understand why more and more motorists are turning to Firestone tires. During the month of July we are making a special trade-in allowance on your used tires. Let us purchase the unused miles in your old tires and equip you with a complete set of new Firestone Gum-Dipped.Balloons. Drive in and let us tell you how easily you can obtain a new set of Fire­ stone tires for your car—and at the right price.

Despite the genuine regret over Pr. caslon it might easily have become, due largely to the genial and jovial toast­ master. Fr. O'Rafferty, of Lansing, who steered the program safely over the shoals of gloom that sometimes threatened. Fine music was furnished by the Girls Glee Club, the High School or­ chestra. and the High school chorus, with Miss Florence Treib accompany­ ing. There was also a lovely solo by Miss Madeline Taffee, with Mln Made­ line LyBarker as accompanist. Fr. Hackett, of Kalamazoo, a former col­ lege friend of Pr. Jordan's, and Fr. Labey of St. Joseph, gave brief talks. Mrs. B. A. O'Donnell responded for the ladles of the parish, their good wishes and affection being well expressed in an original poem, accompanied by a spiritual bouquet of roses. Evart Jacobs, representing the High School; Roman Feldpausch the Hastings Par­ ish; Gerard Cusick the St. Rose Almunl Society, and Herman Maurer, the Nashville parish, were called in tum to the platform by Fr. O'Rafferty, to speak the official word of farewell to Fr. Jordan, which they did most credit­ ably, each presenting some appropriate gift. Tim Burke closed this part of the program by presenting a substantial sum of money to Fr. Jordan from the two parishes, expressing the hope that he would use some of It to buy gasoline to return to Hastings and Nashville now and then. Fr. Jordan, in saying his word of farewell, spoke earnestly and feelingly of hl* work here; his love for hl* peo­ ple; his appreciation of their -loyalty, and the conviction that the same gen­ erous cooperation would be extended to their new pastor, Fr. Geller, of De­ troit. whose inability to be present was a source of regret to all. as his farewell reception in Detroit fell on the same night. Fr. Jordan will leave this field with the satisfaction of work well done, and the assurance that he will carry with him, wherever he may go. the very best wishes of many friends.

Haggai of Middleville, who was bom tn the ancient city of Damascus, and to a Syrian by birth, gave an address at the Rotary Club at the noon luncheon Monday. He told of the ex­ ! pericnces he had to undergo in order to get to this country. He gave some I contrasts between Turkish and Ameri­ can rule, which were striking. He said he believed that men like himself, who had to this country W to uwl, escapernu.e per™ fled Sd option American liberty and American insti­ tutions than do the people of this coun­ try who were bom here. To the lat­ ter this liberty and our free institu­ tions are taken as a matter of course, and are accepted without thought of what it had cost in sacrifice and hard­ ship to win such a government, such freedom and such institutions for lhejn. He said that living In Damascus meant bondage and fear. There was no use for Christians in that Mohamme­ dan country—and hls people were Christians. They could not hope for any advance or progress In their na­ tive land. The Turk ruled with an Iron hand. He had little use for Chris­ tians. whom he called and treated as "dogs." A Turk felt that he had won the favor of Allah if he killed a Chris­ tian. Nothing could be expected from their rulers but tyranny and wrong. There cation. Just fear filled the hearts of people who were not Mohammedans. He said hto family lived In a Mo­ hammedan section of Damascus. The Christian minority Were treated as if they had no righto. He told of one Instance where a Turkish officer, who had acquired a long bladed knife with a wicked double edge, wanted to try out this knife. He could have used it upon any one of the real dogs which roam the streets of Damascus and every Mohammedan city at will, but that did not suit hto fancy. Bo when this particular Turk, anxious to try hto new weapon, met a Christian young man on the street, he whipped out hto knife and plunged It Into the heart of the Christian. The Injured man was taken to Rev. Haggal's home. Nothing was ever done to punish the assassin. In fact. Mohammedans would not re­ gard the man who did the killing as a murderer. According to their faith he had done a meritorious thing in ridding the land of a “Christian dog.” In 1908 the old dynasty that had ruled Turkey so long was displaced and a new and younger man was put upon the throne. It was heralded to the world that Turkey had adopted demo­ cratic (?) institutions; but these did not benefit the Christian population at pli. (''Previous to that time Christians were not allowed to serve in the Turkthat all young men who reached the age of 20 years, whether Christians or Mohammedans, must serve In the anny for a period of 3 years. As a matter of fact the Turks could and did keep those whom they desired in military service just as long as they pleased. As a consequence ot this Rev. Haggal's older brother, who was 19 and had been to America, determined that he would get out of Damascus rather than serve In the army. Hto next younger brother, who was approaching 18 years of age, decided that he would leave also. Rev. Haggai was then about 14 years of age. He too realized that some day. if he stayed there, he would have to serve In the army; so he decided to flee to America. Two sons of neigh­ bors. of the same faith, also determined that they too would get out of Turkey rather than join the Turkish army. Rev. Haggai then detailed the harrow­ ing time they had In leaving Turkey. The only way they could possibly get out was by bribery of Turkish officials. They paid a large sum of money to an Influential Mohammedan in Damascus, the agreement being that he would get them to the Mediterranean shore and on a ship bound for America. We have not space to tell about the terrible ex­ periences they had to undergo to get out of Turkey. Sufficient to say they succeeded. When they first thought of coming to America, they did not think of what part of the Americas they would entor- lea to them. At first they thought of going to Mexico, where a half-brother lived; but as the boat they sailed on was bound for New York City they had no other altemaUve than to come to the U. 8. A., and Rev. Haggai says: “A kindly, ProvldenAs must have guided us for of course I realize how much better we are in this free land than in any other port of the Americas or the world." , He had quite a time to get by Ellto Island, when he landed in New York City, but finally the party was ad­ mitted. Rev. Haggai says that now as a dUzen of the United States, Intensely loyal to Ito InsUtutlonu. as well as a predation of the United States, its constitution, Ito laws and Ito freedom. R. C.

Hosea Ballou was the pastor of the Second Unlvensltot Society of Boston from 1818 to 1852. In the Ballou home there were eleven children—and what love he won from hto children; and what glad obedience they gave him! Rev. Sebastian Streeter once wrote of this home. "I have often thought that this house was the nearest fac­ simile of the “Great Mansion" of the Infinite Father on High, of which I could form a conception.” The advice follows: "When giving your children com­ mands, be careful that you speak with a becoming dignity, as if not only the right but the wisdom also to command was with you, "Be cautious never to give your com­ mands In a loud voice or In haste. "When you have occasion to rebuke, be careful to do it with manifest kind- “When you are obliged to deny the request that your child may make, do not allow yourself to do this with severity. "It is enough for Ute dear little ones to be denied wliat they want, without being nearly knocked down with a sharp voice ringing in their tender “You will find they will imbibe your spirit and manners. They will treat each other as you treat them..

PHONE 2497 HASTINGS, MICH.’ Later on her brother entered a plea of guilty to the actual taking of the nurse1 containing money from the honfe of Mr. Norwood. Then Mrs. Rathbone, j through her attorney, brought action for damages against the sheriff and the two Justices. At the trial, the attorney for Mrs. । Rathbone dismissed the case as against Sheriff Leonard and Justice Hughes, so that the only defendant then was Mr. Bauer. The jury, after having considered the matter, brought in a verdict of six cents damages. The question was as to whether this verdict ought to be suslalncd. in view of the statutes and de­ cisions that were brought to the at­ tention of Judge McPeek. Judge Mc­ Peek did not then overturn the verdict and said he would take time to look up the matter thoroughly, which he has done Now he has rendered his decree,) entering a Judgment for the defendant, ( Mr. Bauer. Judge McPeck’s decision is entitled "Opinion Directing Judgment Contrary to Verdict." HU decision is as follows:) "Tilts motion concerns only the case ’ and verdict against defendant Bauer. As indicated upon the trial. It was then, as now, my opinion that the principle I announced In People vs. Bennett U ot prime importance. This conclusion re­ sults from the fact, as I find it. that under the Criminal Code the warrant under scrutiny may be sustained upon its face. Il was materially improved and enlarged over tiie complaint Coun­ sel for plaintiff insisted that the Justice had no authority to enlarge the terms . of the complaint.

July 8—The appear­ ance ol the apple maggot In several Icculitles In Michigan makes It neces­ sary for the grower, who wiaiinkto pro­ duce first class late fall and winter apples to apply a special spray to con­ trol this Insect. The apple maggot Is the larvae of a fly nnd it differs from the codling moth larvae so that It can be Identi­ fied by a careful observer. The apple maggot is white. Is smaller than the . codling moth larvae, and has no head ' The maggot feeds throughout the flesh of the apple. Successful control Is dependent upon proper timing for the application of the protective sprays. The first spraf must be applied after the emergence of tiie adult files and before they have had a chance to lay their eggs, and a second spray lx applied two weeks later. The spray recommended by.ento­ mologists al Micliigan State Collpgo is one pound of arsenate of lead to 50 gallons of water. This extra spray should ba applied only in districts where tiu* apple maggot Is present. County agricultural agents can Inform growers If the Insect is found in their locali­ ties. The spray is recommended for use only on late fall and winter apples. Notices of tiw proper time to spray will be sent to each section of the state as the fiy appears.

The man who stands on the comer awaiting a street car to take him down­ town. and ceca automobiles with room for four or five powngera dash by with one or two. may think the driver is very selfish not to pick him up. So he may be surprised to team, perhaps, that there arc movements on foot to curb the practice by law. In Indiana such legislation is s|x>nsored by the Hoosier State Automobile Association. It would prohibit the soliciting of a ride tn pass­ ing motor cars. . The proposal seems to be foolish and another Indication of the widespread disposition to cure everything wc do not like by legislation. Moat automobllista know they are responaible for In­ juries to those who ride with them if they are chargeable to the driver's negligence. It may be reasonable to relieve automobile owners of such lia­ bility, but why try to regulate all* driv­ ers’ actions, especially as few motorists care to make common carriers of themselves, nnd the vast majority can be left • *------- •- — •**- — to decide when to comply with questa for a lift?—Baltimore Sun.

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 Month*. 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 em­ ployees making regular detailed examina­ tions of our affairs several times each year. The very moment your money is deposited here it COMMENCES TO GROW, and it keeps right on growing as long is 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 k station in life, can win out by honest ap­ plication. This means SAVING a part of your earnings each week, or month and, depositing them regularly.

FINE LIMESTONE IS BEST FOR MICHIGAN Small Particles Quickly Become Available for Use of Planta East Lansing, July 8 —The rapidity with which limestone becomes available for the use of planta on Michigan soils depends upon the fineness of the ma­ terial which is applied to correct soli acidity, according to soils specialists at Michigan State College. If immediate results are desired from the application of lime. 85 per cent of the stone applied should be fine enough to pass through a ten mesh holes to the square inch and Is slightly coarser than ordinary widow screen. Three grades of limestone ore com­ monly sold in Michigan. The first is known as pulverized stone and this grade has given good results in the College experimental work. The second grade Is somewhat coarser bq/ Is satis­ factory. The third grade does not con­ tain enough fine material so that an ordinary application will give good re­ sults. If only the"coarse grade can be ob­ tained by the farmer, larger amounts of the stone must be applied to obtain enough fine particles to give an im­ mediate effect. Trials made by Michigan State Col­ lege Indicate that limestone which gives satisfactory results in neighboring states Is not always successful In Michigan. Some of the soils In this state are low in organic matter and the large sized particles of limestone ecem to break down slower than they do In soils which have a large organic matter content. * CEDAR CREEK.

TRUCK OVERLOADS NO LONGER TO BE ALLOWED State Highway Department Will Bring These Road Destroy­ ers to Book A press dispatch from Lansing an­ nounce* that the Blate Highway De­ part ment is determined tn put a stop to the over-loading of trucks and will en­ force the law of this state regarding them. It Is well known that the big trucks, especially when they are over­ loaded. do great damage to gravel high­ ways as well as pavements. Tn fact, some of the earlier pavements which were not as well constructed as they now are. have been practically ruined by such vehicles, whose drivers have piloted over-loaded trucks on such roads. Even on some of the newer pavements, there are signs of their breaking down, due to this Illegal truck traffic. A dispatch from Lansing state* that weighing m^hlnes will be placed at different points along the highway*, and that truck driven! will be compelled to drive onto these weighing machines with their trucks. If they are found to be bvcr-loaded. the state police will compel the driver* to unload all the ex­ cess. It is believed that the trouble of unloading, driving back empty and again re-loading will ctfrc truck drivers, ax well as companies owning the trucks, who are guilty of abuse of the hlghTo the writer it has always seemed a wrong for the state of Michigan to build and maintain highway*, at an ex­ pense of many thousand dollar* per mile for the original cost of the grav­ elled road*, plus the*later cost of many more thousands of dollar* spent in building concrete pavement on such road*, and then permit truck drivers to ruin the roads, which were paid for and are maintained by the people of Michi­ gan. not for traffic by common carriers, but for legitimate highway uses. The time will come when the people a thH suite will get tired of this prop­ osition of maintaining highways only to have them broken, and In many in­ stances ruined, by heavy trucks, often loaded much above their rated capacity and far beyond the limit fixed by the BOWLER-RAGLA SCHOOL REUNION.

The man, or the woman, who saves money in this way, KNOWS 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.

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.

MORE MONEY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ROADS Receipts From Weight and Gas­ oline Taxes Mount to Enor­ mous Figures For the first six months of 1929 the State received on the weight tax and gas tax almost *5,000,000 more than for the same period last year. Most of the weight tax comes in the first six montlis. But gas tax receipts will prob­ ably be heavier the last six months than the first six months. It now looks os tf the total receipts from these two sources will be at least *7.500.000.00 or possibly *8,000.000 larger than in 1928 This fine increase will benefit the roads of the state and the counties.

IfI *153,000 of 5 per cent bonds shall be. sold on May 15, 1930. when the last of[ the old High school bonds will be paid,. then the entire building program wouldI be carried out in 1930. The above. figures show that the taxpayers ofi Hastings would not finish paying the. bonds for that building until the De­ cember tax levy! in 1942. or 12 years( later, and wiU have paid ,57.74036 in­. terest besides the *153,000 principal, or■ a total of *210,74036—that amount in( addition to the nearly *37,000 that was। tn the Building Fund May 15, 1930. Please now look at the plan forpaying as we go. and building in three. units. Commencing with the Junior■ High, that would be completed in 1931,. just a year later than as if we had1 bonded. The second or Grade unit would bej completed in 1935, or in 1934 if desired,' just four or five yean later than as ifj we had bonded. The old white brickt Grade building now used Is less of a fire, trap than the old red brick building now occupied by the Junior High. To be sure we would all like to see our children have modem school rooms aa soon as we can. But-in our homes our children sacrifice as well aa parents. Will a little sacrifice on their part to save nearly *64300 taxes for their par­ ents harm them? Will not four or five years of waiting for Uie Grade building unit be worth while, if we can at the end of that time provide modem session and recitation rooms without selling the city's bonds? With the building of the Junior High and Grade units, the fire hazard will be completely removed. The children A sharper now in the Junior High and Ute Grades would then have up-to-date longer tasting edge clo-ss and recitation rooms, properly ventilated and lighted. Can we not afford to wait a HtUe and take a little longer time to build without bonding? I believe it will be worth while. The last unit, under the suggested “pay-as-we-go" plan, would be the Assembly and Gym. for the joint use 10c each of the Grade and Junior High pupils. atrrcHu That building would be completed un­ der the plan as suggested, and would be paid for, In the year 1939—or with nine years delay compared with Uie bonding plan.

But like thd Indian the show bottles ’ have largely disappeared. These originated from the an­ cient custom of pharmacists putting ip the window Urge bottles of tinctures in process of manufacture. It is a common remark these days that the Windows* of a druggist often do not reflect his profession. Times and customs change. If the pharmacist could depend for a living on the dispensing of prescriptions, the sale of sick-room supplies, medicine cabinet requisites, the making of urinalyses, and other professional services,* he would not need to devote so much space and time io the commercial wde of his calling. But if their number were reduced to an appreciable extent, many a commun-'i ity would feel a serious loss.

Indiana, one day last week. In hls address he gave the Christian Church as an organization credit for having revolutionized and stabilized the Industries of al] the earth. Below are a few excerpts from hls address: "The church does not merely enlight­ en mankind on heavenly matter*." said Mr. Dahlen. “IU knowledge und pow­ er go (ar beyond that. It is an or­ ganization that has revoluUonized and stabilized industries all over the earth —a business that has wiped from the face ot the earth the gladiators, that has abolished slavery, that has lifted the human race above the level of the wild beast, that not only has brought stability to the Industry and govern­ ments‘but has brought Into oUr era our real Intelligence as given to us by Christianity and as exemplified by Christ. "Such a business we must admit is not only much greater than all the combined Industries of the world, but it Is of greater importance than our positions, professions or occupations.” Mr. Dahlen was the last speaker on the convention program. A resolu­ tion urging that every senior member of the Walther league give a tenth of his income to church work was one of the outstanding resolutions passed by the convention. The league voted to accept the invi­ tation of Cleveland to hold the 1930 convention In that city. OBITUARY. MIm Cordelia Rowe was bom in Crawford Co., Pa., on Feb. 10, 1858.

Hasting* medicine U that two dollais’ worth of prevention is worth more than a three-hundred-dollar operation.—Phil­ adelphia Inquirer. j 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 9 Through Some Fortunate Investment, But 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’sroF each month’s earnings. The man, or the woman, who saves money in this way, KNOWS 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." , IK I 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 lhe 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 commenced it.

KENT COUNTY USES FINE SCREENED GRAVEL Resulting in a Splendid System of County and Trunk Line Highways Several .people who drive over the highways in this county and In Kent county have remarked on the better condition of the gravel-roods In Kent county. This Is as true of trunk lines as it is of county highways. In dis­ cussing this matter with Mr Fred A. Johnson, who has charge of the main­ tenance work In Barry county for the State Highway department, he gave this explanation: "Kent County has for many yeara. and long before other counties did. put screened gravel on Its highways, placing the coarser gravel as the lower course on the yravtl-d roads, and the fine screened gravel on the top. That county still continues to do this. The result is that Kent County has some of the finest gravel roads In the state.’ EDGER SCHOOL REUNION. Sunday. August 18.

Il happened that the son of the garage owner had been playing in the car.

The result will undoubtedly be that people will taka less medicine. They will consult the doctor not ao much to have him cure them of Ulneas, but to show them how to keep from getting sick . We notice that Dr. Langstroth. of San Francisco, ha* been studying the cases of SCI people who ware 11L He found the cause In 88 per cent of the cases was an unbalanced diet. Those who were ill ate mostly meats, bread, potatoes. sweet desserts, and food* that were deficient in vitamin*. It was found that people who consumed that kind of foods were apt to suffer from high blood pressure, and from other Ills that can be directly traced to the food they eat. Since the doctor changed their diet from the articles we mentioned to milk, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, a consider? able Improvement was made In a large number of the patients. One young man 21 years of age was suffering from severe heart pains .when the doctor first saw him. After four day* on a balanced diet, with a change from meats and starchy foods to fruit, and vegetables, milk and eggs, these pains were very largely cured, and without medicine; WE ARE JUST PIKERS IN INCREASED LIVING COST Comparison Shows Far Greater Increases in Several Euro­ pean Countries We sometimes feel that the cost of living has mounted to very high figures in this country. and it surely has.

But the fires are.mysterious A FEW NICE PEARJ-S and investigation will be made seeking' HAVE BEEN FOUND the causes A Former Hastings Boy Numbered Among th& 01am Gatherers Is After all. man Isn't so different from animals and even fish. The salmon for instance will dart around through hundreds of miles of salt water, but at a certain season of the year returns . to the headwaters of fresh water •treamj. where'it was spawned Tlie fox will circle around an entire county, or perhapt. further, but it will eventu­ ally land back home, unless it is Irfterfered with. Even the lowly rabbit, when pumped will circle around over Hills and through valleys, but at last will get back to about the spot It started from. Some of the old-timers in Hastings will remember "Yankee" Robinson, who around 40 yearn agq was one of. the . well known "characters" fn this city, before such an act as the Volstead law was even thought of. We are not fam­ iliar with what happened lhe fBm" ily. but it will be interesting to know that one of "Yankee's" sons recently relumed to this city, and Is engaged in an occuputon. quite new and unusual to tills section—gathering dams from tlie Thomapple’river, and incidentally | extracting any pearls that may be found in the shells. In other words, the son has returned to Uie place where , he was born. The Thomapple river Is said to be one of the few streams left where gathering clam shells can be profitably followed. That rather unus। uni Industry has been followed for I years on the Grand nnd Kalamazoo rivers, ns well as some other streams, but they are .said to be pretty well "fished out" Clam shells are gathered especially for the shells, which are shipped to button factories, and later become pearl buttons. We understand ' that the Thomapple river dammers I have gathered about 15 tons of sheila in their work thus far. saying nothing of a few good pearls, which were Inj side the shells. The Clam Gatherers have pitched their tents above the Ole Swlmmin' Hole, and by the side ot the big spring i across tlie river from what is known as the Schantz farm. That's the same site that Froggy Wickham always ; chooses to erect his wigwam when he goes ot) the war-path to capture those nocturnal singers, otherwise known as bull frogs. And. by the way. Froggy al­ so Is another example of what we've , been' talking about. He was reared । right here in Hastings, and left years ago. only to return. But Froggy 1 sure knows lhe game, and can call 'every bull frog along the Thomapple I river by its first name. During the sea। sop Froggy is a busy man. and it keeps him hustling to-supply the large ho­ tels with choice frogs legs. Tlie quality of his product Is knfwn by men of even more than nation-wide fame. Only a few weeks ago Froggy present­ ed hla old friend. John Ringling, of Ringling Bros Circus fame, with two dozen choice hand-picked frogs legs. Naturally Froggy loves the Thomapple Valley, not only because he was reared in it, but also for the reason that It , supplies him with the very best that । nature can produce in frogs, turtles, fish, and plenty of wild honey for a tonic whenever his system gets run down. Questioned as to his age, Frog­ gy admits that he has “seen 80 bum­ mers and the Good Lord only knows how many Winters-” Be that as it may. lie can hike as many miles in a day as Weston coul^ in his prime, can eat anything that is set before him. , and admits I hat Nature's food is none too good for him. I Returning to the waning "Clam । Gathering" industry, It is deemed of j sufficient importance so that Uncle i Sam is paying some attention to It. Of course if milady continues to ab­ breviate her dress as evidenced In the last few years, there mav be no great need for buttons, but women are so changeable. Perhops fearing that there may come a time when there will be a great shortage in pearl buttons. .Max Ellis, a physiologist and United State Bureau of Fisheries investiga­ tor. has long beep experimenting upon some method of providing the pearl button industry some new and valuable pearl clam shells, with an ample supply of the ordinary variety. . In his investigations he has found that the first three weeks of a clam's career are always the hardest. For this reason we are certain that there is no need for the admonition:—"Don't be a clam" However Prof. Ellis is sanguine tliat he has found a method that will make the clam's future se­ cure, and that is by the well known method of supplying it with more food. I It seems that the little fresh-water Iclam leads a very uncertain life, and ■ only a very few of the millions left by I the mother clam to shift for themselves 1 In the depths, find the right kind of fish on which to live for their early parasitic existence. If the parasite danu'let go of the shell, and fall in the muefdy bottom of a stream, It's a case of almost certain death, because other tiny water animals make away with them. Think of lhe countless trage­ dies that occur every day on the bot­ toms of streams. Prof. Ellis has made successful ex­ perimental plantings that in five to eight years will develop shells worth from 3125 to 3150 a ton. It is his plan to develop artificially several very de­ sirable species not now grown naturally. Some of these wUl make the big lus­ trous sweater buttons, and noveltie* of special iridescence. Streams will 'be stocked with laboratory clams in the way they are now restocked with flah. It will be interesting to know too, that one small test tube can contain mil­ lions of potential pearl buttons, and that a yellowish liquid, that barely cover* the bottom of a test tube, will feed 38.000 Or 310.000 worth of shells In their earliest stages.

We are surely proud of Mrs. Cridler who has the ability to rep­ resent her community as a woman ot sterling character, the mother of three fine sons, and one of the outstanding iuimc makers of the state of Michigan, morally, physically, spiritually and so­ cially. Such women urge ut all on to greater achievements and attain­ ments. ' Guests from Barry county -who at­ tended the banquet and helped to hon­ or Mrs. Cridler were: Mrs. Rebecca Streeter. Mrs. C. J. Barnum. Mrs. Parjnalee. Sr,. Mrs. Parmalee, Jr.. Mrs. French. Mrs, Joe Bell. Paul Cridler, Mr. and Mr*. William Cridler and Mbs Beatrice C. Boyle, Barry County Club Agent The following concerning Mrs. Cridler was published in the Grand Rapids Her­ ald of Friday, which shows how worthy rhe is of being included as a "Master Form Homemaker' as she was in the selection of the five women in that class as announced on "Farmers Day" at the Michigan State College last Fri­ day. The Herald said: "Every time I start for the kitchen I plan to do something going and coming, os well os the kitchen task.” Mrs. Crid­ ler says. Mrs. Cridler. an active woman of middle age. hair still an unflecked brown, a ready smile and a direct man­ ner. was left a widow eight years ago with three children, a 200-acre farm and a 35.000 mortgage. Her two oldest boys, then 16 nnd 14. were in high school, and she kept them there until they finished: gave one boy. William, now 22 and married, two years at State college, and paid off the mortgage. How they did it Is an epic in Ameri­ can history. "The boys were growing and I didn't want them to overwork, so we tried renting the farm at first." site says. "But the tenant later bought a farm of his own and moved away, so we decided the only thing to do wks to work It our­ selves. Every morning nnd every night I milked 15 cows by hand, because I didn't want the boys to break down from hard work. As fast as we could we bought power machinery, a tractor, electric cream separator, gas engine milker. It cast, but it has more than paid for Itself if only in keeping the boys on the farm. They would never have done the work the old way. . “We had had the house remodeled two years before Mr. Cridler died, our own power plant and water system, a complete bathroom down nnd a lava­ tory upstairs. I paid fnr that with my poultry money. 1900 I saved In two years, besides clothing myself. We had only 80 acres when we married—mort­ gaged. of course—but had paid that of! and added 120 before Mr. Cridler died." The Cridlers do general farming and in addition to the 200 acres in Home­ stead farm, as their place is called, the two sons. Paul and William, have bought another 100'acres. which they | work together. Reginald. 16. is still in ’ school. OBITUARY. Laura Huldah Field was bom in Blenheim. Ontario.

Aug. 5.—Oat harvest failed to keep 6.500 Michigan farm folk* away from Michigan State College Formers Day and an attendance record for recent years was *et. The visitors gathered at all the demonstrations, and competition for place* at the horse breaking demonstra­ tion carried the crowd to lhe top* of all neighboring buildings. Mr. H. F. Moxley, animal husbandry specialist, allowed that it Is possible to take an unruly horse and break it to harness and to drive in a team in one day. The exhibition is not as spectacular as is expected by an audience because the system employed is to have complete control ot the horse every minute. President R. B. Shaw welcomed lhe afternoon audience and spoke of Uie work necessary To make the new dairy bam on accomplished fact. A. J. Glover, editor of Hoard's dairy­ men. said that cooperative marketing Is one means of Increasing dairy pro­ fits and cited the Michigan Milk Pro­ ducers Association as an organization which has assisted its members in ob­ taining a higher price for their fluid milk than they would have been able to obtain without it. . Tho new dairy bam, built and equlped at a cost of 1100.000, was thrown open for Inspection. This new building will provide new uarters for the breeding nnd experimental work with the State College-dairy herd. MANY CHANGES TAKING PLACE NOW IN CHINA. C. P. O.Ibox No. 1234. Shanghai, China. Juno 27th, 1929. Dear Editor, Here comes a letter from this land of intrigue, graft, warfare. famine, suffer­ ing, chaos, to tell you and the readers of your excellent paper about China’s new woman who lias a share In the "goings-on." If a woman in China, twenty years ago, had been given a Rip Van Winkle sleep, she would be more surprised thfm ht was. should she awake today. Then women had to stay Indoors and work something like domestic animals. Or, if of a better, family, be cooped up at home and stay there.* She was allowed to be seen only by her husband or brothers. • Now what a change! The modem Chinese young women skip around the street with a spring, grace and freedom that’s quite refreshing when one re­ members Uie women formerly hobbling along on bound feet supported by amahs. Now girls bob. shingle, or per­ manent wave their hair. That’s a sign of freedom! They ride bicycles, play tennis, basket ball, and engage In other athletics. Formerly the parents ar­ ranged their marriage. Now one often sees the young ladles walking very affectionately arm in arm with their "best boys," and the young people often do the arranging. The dress used to be the most modest of any national­ ity. Now women arc often seen with short sleeves and very low-necked frocks even at mid-day. Sometimes they’re seen with the most up-to-date up-beyond-the-knee short frocks and filmy Milk hose and very high-heeled shoes. Indeed the Chinese girls are quite amusing flappers sometimes— shocking sometimes—so much so that the officials have felt it necessary to is­ sue proclamations commanding them to dress modestly. The girts have even learned to flirt in the moat-up-to-date way. That’s freedom! They dance In the latest style. They ride horses, astride, with boots and riding breeches, ■•That’s English, you know.’’ Once Uie ideal for girls waa that they be able to do beauUful needle-work at home. Now they are doing other thing* They are clerks In stares. Some are typists and stenographers. Borne are bankers. They play the or­ gan or piano or other musical instru­ ments. Some are becoming movie ar­ tists or actresses. Some arc lawyers judges and doctors, are teachers ana kindergarteners. They even become soldiers and sometimes they become Generals' secretaries! Women also be­ come street-corner politicians and scream the RevoluUonary platitudes such as. "Down with imperialism," “Give the people freedom," to beat the most' zealous men Revolutionaries.

Women, too, occupy places of influence in the government in Nanking. Once women’s faces lacked all hope and am­ bition. and there are still great hosts of women who arc the same drudges at home or—worse—in great factories. But among lhe younger generation they have ambition—ambition that carries them to extremes. I’m glad to say that there are many modest, motherly women who have gone thro our mission schools who arc making nice, clean, beautiful Christian homes wiltre the children arc brought up well and taught to be good useful members of society, children of whom they and the mission can be proud and thankful. One can not expect great things from a nation in which the people have been brought up for ages in filth, physical and moral; but a new generation Is coming on. bom anew In the.church of Christ and in these clean Christian homes. We ore expect­ ing much for China from such. Things are out of joint in China; but we hope and pray that the common sense of better Chinese and the deeply planted power of the Gospel will gradu­ ally overcome the criminal influences and that China will find peace, pros­ perity, and a place among the great nations of the world. * Yours in Christ’s glad service.

June 27th, 1029. Dear Editor, Here comes a letter Cam this land of intrigue, graft, warf-re. famine, suffer­ ing. chaos, to tell you anti lhe readers of your excellent paper about China's new woman who has a share in the “goings-on." If a woman in China, twenty years ago. had been given a Rip Van Winkle sleep, she would be more surprised than hi was. should she awake today. Then women had to stay indoors nnd. work something like .domestic animals. Or, if of a better,family, be cooped up at home and stay there. She was allowed to be seen only by her husband or brothers. Now what a change! The modem Chinese young women skip around Uie street with a spring, grace and freedom that's quite refreshing when one re­ members Uie women formerly hobbling along on bound feet supported ty amahs. Now girls bob. shtagle. or per­ manent wave their hair. That’s a sign of freedom! They ride bicycles, play tennis, basket ball, and engage In other athleUcs. Formerly the parents ar­ ranged their marriage. Now one often sees lhe young ladles walking very affectionately arm in arm with their "best boys.” and the young people often do the arranging. The drew used to be the most modest of any national­ ity. Now women arc often seen with short sleeves and very low-necked frocks even at mid-day. Sometimes they're seen with the most up-to-date up-beyond-the-Knee short frocks and filmy silk hose and very high-heeled shoes. Indeed the Chinese girls are quite amusing flappers sometimes— shocking sometimes—so much so that the officials have felt it necessary to is­ sue proclamations commanding them to dresa modestly. The girls have even learned to flirt in the most-up-to-date way. That's freedom! They dance in the latest style. . They ride horses, astride, with boots and riding breeches. "That’s English, you know." Once the ideal for girls was that they be able to do beautiful needle-work at home. Now they are doing other things. They are clerks In stores. Borne are typists and stenographers. Some are bankers. They play the or­ gan or piano or other musical Instru­ ments. Some are becoming movie ar­ tists or actresses. Some are lawyers Judges and doctors, are teachers ana kindergarteners. They even become soldiers and sometimes they become Generals* secretaries! Women also be­ come street-corner politicians and scream the Revolutionary plaUtudes such as, "Down with Imperialism.” • Give the people freedom," to beat lhe most zealous men Revolutionaries. Rarely do you see meetings for prop­ aganda or riots without seeing girls or women taking active part in them. urg­ ing on the riots.

Join the Contented Crowds of Customers at This Bank Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County suffering of those wounded in battle. Women, too, occupy places of Influence in the government in Nanking.. Once women’s faces lacked all hope and am­ bition, and there are still great hosts of women who are the same drudges at home or—worse—in great factories. But among the younger generation they have ambition—ambition that carries them to extremes. I'm glad to say that there are many modest, motherly women who have gone thro our mission schools who are making nice, clean, beautiful Christian homes where the children are brought up well and taught to be good useful members of society, children of whom they and the mission can be proud and thankful. One can not expect great things from a nation in which the people have been brought up for ages in filth, physical and moral; but a new generation is coming on. bom anew in the church of Christ nnd in these clean Christian homes. We are expect­ ing much for China from such. Things are out of Joint In China; but we hope and pray that the common sense of better Chinese and the deeply planted power of the Gospel will gradu­ ally overcome the criminal influences and that China will find peace, pros­ perity, and a place among the great nations of the world.

It has had a part, were charged, and also confessed the Received Three Acknowledge­ ments of Guilt—Will Impose Their Sentences Later On Thursday Judge McPeek came to Hastings to receive the pleas of several persons who were charged with crimes, and to sentence two who had previous­ ly confessed their guilt in his court. Carl Flannery, of Battle Creek had previously admitted that he had been one of the parties who had raided Mr. Gardner's home in Johnstown, taking a quantity of articles from the house in which Gardner was not living at the time, ax he had moved to another place not far away so as to be nearer to his work. Judge McPeek had been interviewed by Flannery’s employer, who said he had always borne a good reputation, was a good worker, had al­ ways beeh honest and just. A num­ ber of others in Battle Creek had also written to the Judge in Flannery's be­ half. Judge McPeek gave him a sen­ tence of from six months to five years at Ionia, and put him on probation for a period of two years. He will be in charge of Probation Officer C. H. Os­ born. He was told by the Judge that if he violated any law. or Indulged in the use of intoxicating liquor during the two years he would be returned to Barry county circuit, and the original sentence would be Imposed on him. He was also ordered to pay a fine of 1100, and costs of 1100. and was re­ quired to pay 120 per month until the entire 1200 shall be paid. He was also directed to pay 50c a month as a pro­ bation fee. He must make written re­ ports to Mr. Osborn every-enenlh and cannot leave the state without permis­ sion from the court. Mrs. Maude Gunner, also of Battle Creek, charged with the same offense ns Flannery, was brought before the court for her sentence. Judge McPeek imposed the same sentence as upon Flannery, and lheix-placed Mrs. Gunner on probation for a period of two years. He also Imposed a fine of 1100. one lialf of which should be applied as costs. She is to make monthly payments of 15 until the 1100 shall be paid. She also must pay 50c a month as coat of pro­ bation. Theodore Lewis of Orangeville who. with some others, was charged with stealing chickens, which he hod admit­ ted. and whose sentence was suspended on condition that he pay the person from whom the chickens were stolen the sum of 115. and also the probation fee of 50c per month, was brought be­ fore the Judge because of his failure to keep up his payments ns he had agreed to the man from whom he had taken (Continued on page three) SHABBY TREATMENT FROM BIG hAPIDS TEAM Would Not Play Their Return Engagement With Hastings Independents as Agreed There shduld be an honorable "give and take" spirit in baseball as In every­ thing else, but it seems that there isn’t always. Everyone knows that a ream really loses money when it goes a long distance to play a team in an­ other city. But doing this seems to be necessary to provide home “fans” wipt regular entertainment. If a ball team makes any money it must always be by playing to good-sized "home crowds.” Arrangements were completed sev­ eral weeks ago, -whereby the Hastings Independents were to play the Big Rap­ ids team, at Big Rapids, on July 21st. the Hastings fellows to receive *35. if a game was played, or *20 to cover ex­ penses in case it rained and a game could not be played. In return for this the Big Rapids team agreed to play a return engagement here, with the Has­ tings Independents on the same basis. In carrying out this mutual agree­ ment. the Hastings Independents droye to Big Rapids on July 21st. accompan­ ied by around 100 fans, and played the team there. Incidentally Hastings won the hotly contested 12-lnnlng game that was played. Arrangements were made for Big Rapids to play its return engagement here on Aug. 18th, but recently Mana­ ger Leonard noticed in the state press that a Grand Rapids team Was slated to play Big Rapids on Aug. 18th—the same date that Big lUpIds agreed to play here. Mr. Leonard immediately got busy on Ute phone with the Big Rapids management and secured a promise that the Big Rapids team would be here as agreed, but a later letter informed him that they would not come. This Is not a square deal and we are certain thot the baseball fans of Big Rapids will not uphold their team in any such action. DR. WHITEHOUSE TO PREACH HERE NEXT BUNDAY. . Dr. W. W. Whitehouse.

Whether they will be prosecuted for the Middleville robbery or the onecommitted In Grand Rapids has not been determined at this writing. One of them was a former Middle­ ' ville boyf who was arrested some time ■go and sentenced fur stealing while i he resided there. • :UOMIINTENIIICE IS SOME PROBLEM The Banner challenges any com- | munlty to evidence n finer community I spirit than was shown at the meeting I of the, Hastings Commercial Club on ‘ Friday evening of last week.

It is a pleasure for us to record the fact that France has. at last, adjusted this matter. The French legislative body have sanctioned n settlement agreed on several years i ago. but which France, up to the pres­ ent time, has refused to ratify. Instead | of doing what she ought ip have done, ' France has called this country "Uncle Bhylock" and intimated that we were , squeezing that country because of our [ greed. There was never the slightest foundaI Hon for such an accusation against this country. The settlement agreed upon I some years ago by a representative of | the French government and our own । Secretary of the Treasury Mellon can­ celled the cash advanced by this ooun' try to France after we Joined the .Allies and before the Armistice was signed.

What Prance's assembly has now agreed to pay to the UnltW States represents only money that was actually borrowed by France after the war closed, or owes for supplies pur­ chased since the Armistice, plus the same rate of interest that our own bonds draw, .which our home people art paying. To call our government "Uncle Shylock" under such circumstances is about as low down as anything ttint can be imagined. There was a large and influential element in France that wanted the United States to cancel al] the money we had advanced to Prance after the war as well as during the war.; also for the materials which we sold to . France when the war ended.

The yearly | cost for maintaining 231 miles at 4600 per mile is 4138.600. Deducting 445.000 which the county will receive from the state, as the county's share of the gas­ oline and weight tax. which myjt be used for maintenance purposes, would leave 493.600 which the county must raise on the average per year just for tiie maintenance of gravel highways.

Building a Big Navy While Asking Other Nations to Limit Navies Would Be Very Inconsistent. course a single mile could not be built for that sum: but if the county would undertake to put down 50 miles of Tar­ mac paving per year for five years, it could reduce the cost per mile to sub­ stantially 41.400. We suggest Tar­ mac; but any other material that would be as good or better, which would coat about what Tarmac does, possible Tania, should also be considered. It is results we all desire. It would not be wise for the county road commission nor the supervisors to jump at conclusions. It Is a big proposition and deserves serious thought and study, and thorough in­ vestigation. Tarmac has been used in other localities long enough on high­ ways so that we could learn from their experience what it would cost to main­ tain Barry county's road system if that material were used. County Engineer Cook estimated that Tarmac paving would last eight years. Then it should be resurfaced, using about one half as much material as was originally used, because a Tarmac . fdfindation would be there. The second application of the material, he thought, would last about ten years, basing his- judgment on the reported experience of other localities where Tavmkc has been used. Tarmac pavjnZ will not stand the strain of the big heavily loaded trucks. lasting qualities could be learned by Investigation and from the experience of other localities where this material If this matter of maintenance were put up to a business institution like a corporation—supposing for Instance the county roads were 'oil roads and main­ tained by a corporation—we will guar­ antee that the first thing that corpor­ ation would do. would be to reduce io the minimum the cost of maintenance. It would certainly study and investigate the problem We believe that no money could Ih better spent than for a supervisors committee, together with one or two of the county road commis­ sioners.* to visit the various localities where Tarmac or other'like materials have been used for a period of years and find out the actual expense, and what saving could reasonably be ex­ pected If we should set out to coat Barry county roads with such materia) The cost of road maintenance in a ■mail county Ilk? this, with a com­ paratively small population. wi’h the rough .terrain over which to build and maintain roads, la too High if gravel Is to be the material.

We hope that It may be possible for the county to bulk] and maintain an average of 25 miles of good roads in each township. We somehow believe that that can pc done, and that careful and thorough in­ vestigation will show how to do It. In what we have said the Banner In­ tends no criticism or reflection nor neglect by the road commission or the board of supervisors in the matter of dealing with the county road situation. Both bodies are entitled to credit for doing their very best to serve the peo­ ple of Barry county in the matter of highways. We know the road commis­ sion has studied carefully how it can make every dollar give full value to the people of this county in all the work they have done or planned to do. The Banner feels that, as a publicity agent in this county, we should discuss such matters as the maintenance of our county road system, doing so in good spirit and for a constructive purpose. That has been our alm in what we have said tn this article. We do not assume to know what should be done for main­ taining the county's rood system. That is up to the road commission, and they will do the best they can with what funds are available to them. But the taxpayers are Interested in the cost of maintenance. In their behalf we make the suggestions we do In this article. lot of damage to them: but they should not be allowed to use such roads. Mr. Cook's judgment was that, for ordinary trucks and auto­ mobile traffic, the expense for repairs on n Tarmac road would be compara­ tively small. Including the first cost of laying the Tarmac, it should not average far from 4250 per mile; tiie sec­ ond coat but one half the original coat and would last for 10 years. For an 18 year period. It would seem as if an average of 4250 per mile per year would cover the cost of maintaining Tarmac roads. Including the first cost of laying the Tarmac and the cost of covering again at the end of the first eight years. If that be true, the coat per year at 4250 per mile for 231 miles of county road would be 457,750 per year. From the state there will be re­ ceived at least 445.000. and probably that yearly amount will slightly in­ crease. This would reduce the yearh cost of maintenance to the county, to be raised by the taxpayers, to about A GROWING INDUSTRY. 412.750.

THE DUDLEY JUDD A PERMANENT WAVE During August and September for TELEPHONE 2506 FOR APPOINTMENTS �THE HASTINGS BANNER Wednesday, Aug. 14, 1929 How to Use Chlorates to Destroy Quack ■Grass, Bind Weed, Canada Thistle, Poison Ivy And Other Noxious Weeds Chlorates are proving effective for the control of patches of quack grow, bind weed, creeping sow thistle. Can­ ada thistle, poison ivy and other troublesome weeds. Tiie coat of the material will. In most cases. prohibit the use of chlorates for the control of large areas of weeds. Small areas ot quack grass and other troublesome weeds, which propagate by means of underground root sulks soon spread over the entire field, unless come effective method ot eradication Is followed. Cultivation usually Is not effective, since it tends to spread the underground parts and Infest the entire field. Digging these patches out with a fork Is laborious and expensive. Chlo­ rate sprays are effective and in compar­ ison to other methods are very eco­ nomical of both labor and material. * Application—Dissolve two pounds of Atlacide or one pound of sodium chlo­ rate in one gallon of water and spray on one square rod of area. Quack grass. bind weed and creeping sow thistle should receive three applica­ tions. about thirty days apart. One ap­ plication for these weeds is not effec­ tive. Tiie application should be re­ peated when the quack grass has made new top growth and when the bind weed has come Into bloom. Repeat the applications until the weeds fall to pro­ duce top growth. Canada thistles treated when in bloom are usually killed by one or two appli­ cations Sodium chlorate should be ap­ plied with a sprayer. A three gallon hand pressure sprayer is well suited for this purpose. Atlacide may be either dusted on or sprayed on. l<ess material is required nnd a more even application may be secured by spray­ ing. Spray cans should be washed out immediately after using. If this pre­ caution Is followed, chlorates will not be found injurious to sprayers. Wood containers should not be used for stor­ ing chlorates In solution. The wood will take up the chlorate and may cause trouble later. Kinds of-'Chlorates—There are sev­ eral kinds of chlorates, such as sodium chlorate, calcium chlorate, magnesium chlorate and Atlacide. Atlacide and so­ dium chlorate are the only chlorates which arc being used Jt the present time for weed control The chlorate sold under the trade name of Atlacide consists of approximately 50 per cent sodium chlorate and 50 per cent cal­ cium chloride. Sodium chlorate Is quite effective in the control of weeds, but is dangerous to handle, unless proper precautions are taken. In the dry or crystal forms, sodium chlorate is explosive and when mixed with sulphur or with organic matter the possibility of<an explosion is grsatly Increased. Store thia mater­ ial so that it will remain clean and do not drop the can when handling. It is almost Impossible to apray weeds without dampening tiie clothing with the spray. If the clothing so dampened is not immediately washed, before it becomes dry. It becomes a serious fire hazard. Friction alone is sufficient to Ignite such clothing, when it becomes quite dry. Rubber boots should be worn when using sodium chlorate dpray and all clothing which has come In contact with tho spray should be washed before It Is dry. Sodium chlo­ rate In the liquid form is not danger­ ous Atlacide. a mixture of sodium chlo­ rate and calcium chloride is safer to handle than pure sodium chlorate Tiie calcium chloride (“road salt"* takes up moisture as soon as exposed *o the air. causing the mixture to go into'solution. This greatly lessens the fire hazard. v Time of Application—Satisfactory re­ sults have been secured by applying chlorates at any time the weeds were making a vigorous growth. It is likely that the best time to make the first application will prove to be-at or near the bloom stage. The following appli­ cations should be made from three weeks to a month apart, or after the weed lias renewed Its top.growth. Not Poisonous—Neither Atlacide nor sodium chlorate is poisonous in small doses. Livestock should lx- removed from die field when areas of a consid­ erable size are to be treated. When small patches are treated, this precau­ tion Is not necessary. __ . Influence Upon the Land—It is usuoily not advisable to attempt to grow crops on the land the same season that it Is treated with chlorates. Prelimnary tests indicate that crop produc­ tion may be resumed the next season. | HIT ON FRIDAY LAST Speculators Met Paper Losses I of Two Billions—No One Harmed But Speculators Friday of last week Wall Street received one of the. severest jolts In its history. The Federal Reserve Bank raised its discount rate from 5 per cent to fl per cent, which made It more difficult fpr speculators to get money to gamble with on th£ stock market. Slocks went down from 12 lo $46 per share. The paper loss amounted to more tlian $2,000,000,000. There was no actual loss to the country—no actual loss of real values. The railroads of this land were never In a better financial position than now; they own the same tracks and equip­ ment they did before Wall Street was hit. The United Staten Steel Company and other big industries didn’t lose n cent in Wall Street. That company as well as others own the same plants, have the same manufac­ tured and unmanufactured stock, the came cash on hand, and the same ac­ counts receivable that they did before FARMERS THEMSELVES Wall Street was seized with a sudden MUST CONTROL “BORERS” j panic In other words, lhe railroads . nnd industries nnd public utilities whose stocks hnd dropped tn price were Follow “Olean Up” Plan Work­ really not affected in the least.

This was not due to the prospect of a world over­ supply of wheat, but to a temporary i condition which depressed the price. I As invariably happens when a new ; crop Is threshed, the owners rush the । wheal to market from the machine. When that occurs, there is inevitably a drop in the price of wheat. Some way ought to be devised, and probably will, so that this rush to the market from the machine will be stopped. Or­ derly marketing is one of the first es­ sentials of a fair price for wheat*. Another thing that depressed the price was that a big dealer In Winnipeg, Canada hod bought heavily of wheat in the Chicago market on margin. When the price dropped a little this dealer flooded the Chicago exchange with sell­ ing orders for hls wheat, hls offers covering several million bushels of that Chicago wheat speculators knew that this man was selling. Accordingly they set out to lower the price so as to make money out of his misfortune, and they did. It forced the price down seven or eight cents in one day. The new Federal Farm Board has advised against an early rush of wheat to the market, and has advocated or­ derly marketing. As experts in Wash­ ington know the general condition of the crop throughout the world, their advice should be considered and fol­ lowed wherever possible. WOOD SCHOOL REUNION.

Foresters have been fighting for control of bad ffres in California, ti-.e Pacific North­ west. the Inland Empire reglor. and in Minnesota and Wisconsin A numoer ot these fires were caused by careless­ ness with cigarettes. “The reduction of losses from cigar­ ettes fires has been given a good deal of study by Government agencies." said Mr. Schrman. “The United States Bureau of Standards has published the results of an investigation which Indi­ cated the seriousness of the hazard and possible methods of reducing it. Ac­ cording to these results, the property lost from fire attributable tu smoking Is about $45,000,000 a year, and this docs not include forest fires damage, which in 1927 amounted to more than $6,000.­ 000. nor all the loss from grain field fires started by smoking, for which separate figures are not available More titan 30.000 fires are estimated to MIS JUST WHIT AL­ WAYS NEEDED Tells How Six Bottles of New Medicine Solved All Her Health Problems manufactures are becoming interested 1 In ‘he problem of reducing cigarette fire io&saa. Investigations by the Bureau of Standards on possible methods of fire-proofing the tips of cigarettes are receiving the manufacturers' attention. The Forest Benter has been in com­ munication with the manufacturers concerning the development of a plan for cooperation in education work to induce greater care on the part of smokers with burning tobacco and matches, and some of the manufactur­ ers are already going ahead with educational efforts. By including cautionary notices in cigarettes pack1 ages and possibly on cigarettes them­ selves it may be irossible to reach mil­ lions of smokers with direct warnings " Mr. Sherman emphasized ti|e fact that “cigarettes and pipe ashes should be prcwd out and discarded only in unquestionably safe places. Matches shnuM he broken in two before they are thrown away. Every automobile should be equipped with ash receivers for both front nnd rear seats, as many fires are caused by burning tobacco or matdies thrown from cars along the roadsides. ” CARLTON CENTER.

These properties are located at Balti­ more, Maryland; Ponca City and Sapulpa, Oklahoma; Artesia and Farmington, New Mexico; Wichita Falls, Texas; Florence, Colorado; and Glcnrock, Wyoming. Wide Fieldfor Crude SeleUion Exclusive Processes Insure High Quality Out of a total area of more than two and ooe quarter million acres in eight states. Continental selects the crudes best suited for its manufactured products. Raw materials for oils, greases and gasolines may often come from widely sepa­ rated regions. Continental controls its own crude supply and chooses the best for each refining operation and thus assures a stapdaxd uniform output from year to year. Continental refinery engineer! enjoy a. national reputation in the oil business. Not only have they adopted the newest and most efficient methanical equipment for these big refin­ eries but they have designed machinery and developed pro­ cesses which arc exclusive to this company. Under centralued control, these facilities now arc made available in the manu­ facture of petroleum products of exceptional quality Strategic Location of Eight Refinerin Economical and efficient operation of petroleum manufac­ ture frequently depends upon the relative locations of the raw More than forty year; marketing experience has spread the distribution of Conoco products over an area which reaches from the western slope of the Rockies, far east to the Mississippi River.

It leads again this year with Mfl.000 acres. IU neareat competitor, California, reporting only 291,000 acres. Other leading states are: Colorado with 278,000. New Mexico with 210.000.

On the other hand, there Is constant happiness and much contentment of mind to those who practice, thrift as n practical Insurance against old age de­ pendency. Thert is a whole world of differences between lhe outlook.of those who un­ making no provision- for the future years and Hum* who ar* slowly, stead­ ily building up their personal resources. The difference is so great that one wonders how it 1* possible for any,sen­ sible person to drift along to certain failure when a comparatively small effort and sacrifice will place them on the roadway leading to absolute inde­ pendence. The practices of thrift carry certain personal inconveniences. They, mean the giving up of certain pleasures and comforts.

SIX CYLINDER CHEVROLETS on the road in less than eight months I Less than eight months have elapsed since the first Chevrolet SLx was delivered into the hands of an owner—and already there are more than a million sixcylinder Chevrolets on the road!

Into a price field that had hither­ to been occupied exclusively by four-cylinder cars—Chevrolet has introduced a six-cylinder car of amazing quality and value. Not only does it offer the smooth, quiet, velvety performance of a great six-cylinder valve-in-head motor—but, from every stand­ point, it is a finer automobile than was ever before thought possible at such low prices!

There was a large attendance at the recent annual Sand Land Farmers Field Day at the Pennsylvania Railroad demonstration farm, north of Howard Cltv. Tiie most Important thing brought out at this meeting was the growing of Alfalfa on sandy land. A sign greeted the visitant us they went to the farm which read: "Does potash pay? Let the alfalfa nay." The demonstration of alfalfa pro­ duction on this farm was outstanding, as was also tho proof of the value of commercial fertilisers having a high potash content. The growing alfalfa spoke for Itself. Each plot made n different speech, varying Its "talk" ac­ cording to the fertilizer treatment ii had received. But all the plots agreed in this: "Potash does pay." In one small plot sown with the same seed and receiving no different cultivation, no fertilizer had been used. The first cutting was taken July 9. It was very weedy and of poor qurfllty, and yielded at the rate of 439 pounds of dry hay to the acre. The next plot, where-525 pounds of fertilizer had been applied per acre, the first cutting from the plot yielded 679 pounds of dry hay to the acre. There was no potash in the fertilizer. Nltrogen-phosphoroUK-potash ferti­ lizer mode a yield of 1023 pounds of dry hay. In another plot. In this plot half as much potash was used as In the next one. which produced 1864 pounds of dry hay.

Saunders with reference to the yellow lines on pavements which seem to be but slightly understood by motorists in (Tfy general. So that readers of the Hastings'Banner may better post them­ selves on the subject we reproduce the article in full: Michigan pavements have been re­ decorated with the yellow center lines at aU dangerous curves, crests of hills and other places where it is dangerous for cars when moving in the same di­ rection to pass. That is fine safety theory. To some extent It works out; but there seems to be an increasing tendency toward disregarding the yel­ low lines. More and more wc see and are told of cars passing slower vehicles at hill tops and curves without any considera­ tion for the yellow lines. Even though they don't know what these lines mean, which alibi shouldn't be acceptable from any Michigan driver, a sensible motorist knows that it isn't sale to pull off to the left side of the road when the highway ahead is not clearly vis­ ible. Of course, It Is mighty inconvenient to be held up behind a slow-moving truck or wagon on a hill; but it's a blamed sight more Inconvenient to be shoved into Kingdom Come by a car coming over tho crest from the oppo­ site direction. Wc can't Just understand why it is that no better progress is made in en­ forcing the warning of these yellow | lines. The state law Is specific In out­ lawing recklessness. Passing at hill­ crests and on curves is reckless in tiie meaning of the law. It seems to us that the state police ohd county offi­ cers In the various counties might tighten up on this phase of menace by concentrating their efforts a part of lhe lime on the yellow-line zones. For example, if a cop would, pull off lhe road at a bad curve or hill wo suspect that in the course of a couple of hours ho would get more than one reckless driver. By doing that he would go a long way toward making the roads MONTHLY PAYMENTS LOW-COST HOT WATER SERVICE Consumers Coke That Was Demonstrated Near toward City—Potash Great­ ly Increases That Crop Counly farmer thb. year who ta tortunate enough to have a good acreage of alfalfa will not have trouble about the right kind of forage for his stock. ♦fURNACC CO’fT/sii PART THREE 7 Nationally Advertised Merchandise Money-Saving Prices^ KROGER STORES 114 Jefferton Street Hastings, Michigan Formerly C.

He will have some conception of the dam­ age big trucks are doing to the state'* pavements. Even some of the more re­ cently constructed paving Is breaking down under the terrible strain of these loaded trucks. It is difficult to imagine on what tireory the owners of these truck* fee) that they can. with Impunity, misuse the paving which has been paid for by the people of this state. The trucks themselves contribute very little to the cost of building roads in Michigan. In 1928 the average weight tax for each passenger car in this state was 812.50 The average weight tax per commercial vehicle was 828.13. The average gaso­ line tax irer motor vehicle was $11.23. Of course the trucks would be above that average, especially the big com­ mercial trucks: but it can be seen that what they nay for the upkeep of the roods of Michigan is very small indeed.It is but the smallest fraction of the ’ damage they cause to the roads of this state. If a private corporation owned the cement roads which the state of Michi­ gan has constructed. we will guarantee that they would never permit such loads to be hauled over them by the big trucks and big busses. as are now al­ lowed. A private corporation would know that they could not afford to keep up roads and permit them to be pounded to pieces by these Immense, over-loaded trucks, like some that come into Hastings several times every week. There is reason in all thing*. There is no reason why the state of Michigan should be expected to maintain cement highways for big trucks, heavily loaded In most cases, to pound to pieces. Th* legislature of this state ought to take action, and drastic action, to put a stop to this destructive work by the big trucks and big busses. If the busses and trucks maintained their own road­ way it would be their own business; but for them to assume that the state of Michigan, rather than the people of this state, will maintain highways for them to ruin in order that they may profit, is so absurd that no reasonable jierson would undertake to defend the proposition. It is the rankest kind of Injustice for this state to tax the railroads just the same as they do Individual* on the ac­ tual value of their property, and then compel the railroads to keep up their road bed. their rails and their equip­ ment. and allow the big bus and truck corporations full liberty to misuse the highways of this state, as they do. It Is nothing short of u crime against the people of Michigan. WONDERFUL GAIN MADE IN INSURANCE Agents of Local Windstorm Company Set New Record During July The record made'by the agents of the Windstorm Insurance Company of this city'in writing new insurance for July we believe, set the pace for that month. The amount was 87.532.925 of new in­ surance. All this goes to show that the Windstorm Company has. a mighty good lot of agents, and that its agents are backed by a mighty good com­ pany. which "plays the game square" with its patrons, and fumjshes the best of wind storm insurance at the lowest cost. It would seem probable that the Windstorm Company will thlf year nearly equal Its big record made in 1928. The Company has been hit hard this year by the large number of wind storms. There have been com­ paratively few cyclones, but there have been many destructive wind storms. These have covered such wide areas that this year the company has paid one In every ten or eleven of its policy holder* for losses sustained, by the wind storms which have been so numerous and freakish.

Hull, of Dimondale, Michigan, was long the head of the Michigan Slate Grange, and is now the president of the Grange Life Insurance Com­ pany, In a recent address he stated that thc greatest problem of agriculture at the present time U over-production. He gave figures to prove his point. He said that if farmers of thc winter wheat states would keep production . down to 400,000.000 bushels of' wheat. I instead of 450.000 000 or 500,000,000 bushels, they would get a good deal more for the 400.000,000 bushels than they would from the larger quantity. He also stated that fanners lack or­ ,p ganization necessary to make crop control feasible. He said the govern(­. ment lias repeatedly warned against over-production; but the warning.* go unheeded, because each farmer puts in more crops, thinking that his neighbor will cut down acreage. The weather too is aiwaya an clement that cannot be clenltely figured on in making a crop surplu.* or a deficit Mr. Hull called attention to the in­ creased tax rate on farm*- Taxes have been continually mounting since 1910 In 1810 one-tenth to one-eighth of the rental value was needed for taxes. Now It requires from one-third to onehalf of the cash rent*! values to settle with the tax collector The remedy suggested by Mr Hull to relieve this, was less expenditure* tor school?., roads, and other public Im­ provements. and the finding of tax sources other than real estate. He as­ serted that roads end schools are be­ ing brilt at too great * cost and art forcing farmers to penury. He urged less expensive schools, fewer highway* and economy in government. He Mid it would be a hard day for our republic If farmers should meet catastrophe be cause of mounting taxes and reduced incomes. According lo Mr Hull the problems of the farmers of this country, as he see* them, are beyond the control of any government agency. The only re­ lief. he Mid. is the slow proccrs of cut­ ting production, lowering taxes on farm property, and a greater public in­ terest tn farming problems He antici­ pates the lowering of other commodi­ ty prices and a slight raise In farm prices. He expressed little faith in any artificial farm relief that might be at­ tempted by legislation. There are many In Barry county who know Mr. Hull and have a great respect for hl* judgment. But it appears to the Banner that farming as a business just a* manufac­ turing as a business has already done, nnd as merchandising as a business is . now doing, nomg, must go through ujruugn a reorganlrrcorganirI ing process to meet new conditions. Wc doubt if even the farmers will be content with poor reads with no .hope of their improvement, or with |>oor and inadequate school facilities tor their " children.

Phone 2118 Hastings unit for thc Junior High that would provide ample recitation room*, prop­ erly lighted and ventilated, and free from the hazard of fire. He produced thc figures to show that In 1934 thc second unit could be constructed for lhe Grade* and Klngartcn and lx? completed that year. He produced the figures to show how thc last building which aould be thc Assembly and tiie Gymnasium, could be completed in 1939. under the unit plan. The three units would thus make the completed bulging. Trie plan suggested by Mayor Perry would not require any bond Issue. The other plan would provide that thc entire building, including the As­ sembly nnd Gymnasium, be built In 1930. For this 1153.000 of bonds would bo issued at 5 per cent. Figures show that these bonds would be retired in 1942, by raising 116,500 per year, which would not increase the present school tax rate. Those who urge this plan say that, if we need a new school building, a.* all admit, wc need it now; that there Is no valid reason why we should have a delay of nine years to complete *he structure. They feel that the school children now in lhe Junior High and in thc Grades should be saved from a possible calamity by fire hi cither of the old buildings which, besides being fire traps. arcVpoorly lighted and venti­ lated and are unsuited for modern school purposes. They feci that, since these bonds can be retired without in­ creasing the tax. that the people of Hastings ought to be and will be will­ ing to pay the present tax rate for three years more tn order to have a complete school plant, in which it Is safe to keep the children in the Grades and Junior High, one which will not endanger their health or their eye sight. As wc have suggested the people of Hastings should be thinking this mat­ ter through carefully and decide which of these two plans they think is thc better one. . As we said last week, wc invite tax­ payers to express their views on this proposition We will not publish their names if they so dejire. but wc would require that lhe name be given to the publishers of this paper, as a matter of good faith OBITUARY.

They swam around about ten' rods from shore, taking more drink* from a bottle which was in Moffitt', poueaaioa. Then they started for shore. Both reached a point where they cnuld easily touch bottom, in net more than four feet of water. Without any reason for so doing Moffitt suddenly turned and swam deliberately out into the lake. When about ten rods from the shore he was seen to go down, but rose shortly afterward and then went down into the weedy bottom, where the wa­ ter was from 12 to 15 feet deep.' Thow who Ipd been watching the proceedings from the shore rowed out to the place where Moffitt was seen to go down, while others telephoned thc sheriff. , Tbn«e who went out in the boat were unable to find the body The sherlfl appeared on the scene as quickly as he could possibly drive there and had drag lines and hooks and soon brought th* body to the surface. about 40 minutes after drowning. Attempts were made to resuscitate but without avail. There was no pulmotor, and the body had been too long in the water, so that life could not be brought back with any of thc usual method* Right here we be­ lieve that we should say that Barry county ought to own a pul motor. Wc have a good many lakes In the county nnd. in case of drowning*. It might be possible to save life by thc use of a pul­ motor. Cooper was arrested on a drunk and disorderly charge As thc two had been friends for a long lime, there would be no reason for accusing him of contrib­ uting to the death of Moffitt Tiie booze probably would account for that, and both were liberal in its use. A dis­ orderly charge was lodged against Cooper mid- he was also held iu> wit­ ness. It was not deemed necessary to hold a coroner s Inquest. Tiie body of Moffitt was taken by Ids brother and father and an undertaker to Stock­ bridge Sunday. Carl Cooper was brought before Jusure Cortright on Monday, charged with disorderly conduct. He entered a plea ol guiltv. and was given a fine of $100 or 90 days in Jail. He expects to |>ay thc fine. ■ BENEDICT—JENNINGS.

I Michigan State College who advise the use of fertilizers on seedings which have been delayed by thc extremely dry weather this year. | The fertilizer should be placed in the ground tn a depth of at least three 1 Inches and the soils specialists advise i the use of a drill with a fertilizer at­ tachment when it Is possible to secure I such a drill. The fertilizer may be sown broadcast and worked Into the j soil if a suitable drill can not be ob­ tained. On candy soils, the use of a fertlll- i zer rich in both phosphoric acid and potash Is recommended.

When the camping bug is biting • And you're feeling rather blue. When you tire of home surroundings. And you long for something new. When you form a resolution A vacation trip to take. Ju‘t pack your duffle bags and come And camp at old Wall lake. You can rent a cozy cottage. Well equipped with houshold goods. Or you can pitch your tent and ham­ mock In the shadow of thc woods. You will meet with other tourists, Prom every state and clime And live like pigs in clover In the good old summer time. You will meet Granddaddy Wilson. Who keeps a little store And entertains the new arrivals With his fairy tales galore. 1 He will sell you fishing tackle ’ With some forty kinds of bait. Or serve a rabbit dinner At fifty cents tiie pUftc? You will meet all types of fishermen ' Among them Johnny Payne. Who wears his wide rimmed panama, In sunshine or in rain. ' He smokes his pipe contentedly. While waiting for a bite. He's always "Johnny on the spot” And won't come in till night. You will sure admire "The Anchorage" Wilh its pork and vine clad bowers. The oaks, the elms, and tulip trees. The garden and the flowers. The owners they grow restless. And to other states will roam But soon return to their first love To dwell at “Home Sweet Home.” MICHIGAN We have many worthy people I could mention in my song. But to classify them each in turn. I fear would take too long. They come In early summer And stick around till fall. Are courteous and clever And respected—one and all. Thc weary tourists from afar Who seek a place of rest. Come flocking to our neighborhood, Where fishing is the best. They come from old Kentucky, And most every other state. They bring the kiddies with them. And won't go home till late. Perchance some Annaias comes. Perhaps you know him well— When he gets done a talking. There is nothing left to tell. He always gets thc largest fish. When no one is about. Then spins a bunch of phony yarns That nearly wears you out. While passing through this vale of tears Wc have met these men before, Who saw their ice In summer At the comer grocery store. But for bringing home the bacon To fill the frying pan. . . Just place your Idle ducats On the quiet fisherman. Here at Wall lake life is easy Nights arc cool, the days are breezy. And the bathing beauties squeezy. If they know you're on the square. Come and try the soothing lotion Of our sparkling little ocean. And you sure will form a nation It has no equal anywhere. -O. O.

T This is a friendly bank; here to serve you By putting together their vast crude supplies, by co-ordinating their refining operations, by pyramiding their independently earned reputa­ tions, the resulting institution is truly impressive. Expressed in terms of interest to motorists, this union means extrt value in thc products purchased because of more economical operation. Thc new company is now more nearly a nation-wide .or better still ... a row////cM/-widc organization. Thc new company’s policy will be so aggressive, so modern, and so deserving of all motorists’ patron­ age that the next few years will sec an even doser blanketing of thc continental United States. Thc word "Continental” therefore, means something on the escutcheon of this greater company. The old idea that banking was a cold-blooded business no longer prevails. Bankers today know that their relations with their clients should be close, intimate, friendly. You’ll find this ‘‘friendly’’ attitude here. Our offi_cers will be glad to meet you and discuss your busi­ ness problems. Their wide knowledge of conditions generally, as well as locally, qualify them to counsel wisely. . These close relations between banker and client are a protection to the client and the bank. They make for better business. 4% Liberty Bell savings Banks for the'Children WOODLAND STATE BANK WOODLAND, MICHIGAN CAPITAL-■$25,000 OFFICERS F. F.

Gento Barry County Be Well Rewarded The meeting of the Barry County Supervisors' Association consisting of county officers, supervisors and former supervisors and county officers, was held al Gull lake on Thursday of last week. A fine dinner was served to up­ wards of 60 who attended the gatherIng. The afternoon meeting was held nt Prairieville Park. Gull lake. The following officers were elected: President. C. H. Osborn. Vice president. M. O. Hill. Secretary and treasurer. E. A. Parker. After tile business meeting those present listened to a timely address by Congressman John C. Ketcham. He re­ called hts experiences as a county officer, when he was for eight years school commissioner of Barry county. He named the sujiervisors and the various county officers who served at that lime. He felt that Barry county should be congratulated' on the fine type of men nnd women who have served the county in a public capacity. He urged the members of tiie association-*© take increasing Interest in Its work, because such gatherings os the one that djy were a part of the steadying forces of our democracy. He said that the prob­ lems that come up in the smallest po­ litical unit, the township, are practlcolly the same os those which con­ front the county, state, and nation. The difference is largely in the bigness of the figures and the many more items in the larger units. Training in town­ ship and county officers equips one to better serve in a larger field. President C. H. Osborn urged the members to take an Increased Interest In the annual gatherings. They should be attended more largely, he said, because of the value to the county and the commonwealth of having men with experience in public, affairs meet for the purpose of discussing and con­ sidering public mattery The time and place for the next meeting was left with the officers. ■K TO BEGIN ON OUR NEW FOEN LY AS POSSIBLE , ■STEEL, ‘.

As a re। suit experts representing the entire oil ! producing area of the United States jhave formulated a report on natural ! cns which is regarded os one of the most valuable contributions ever made to the science of petroleum production. Efficient production is said to be large| ly a matter of keeping gas in the wells j so that cheap, efficient recovery may be increased This is a cooperative prob­ lem and it Ls believed that if proper methods are followed fields in the fu­ ture will have a far greater potential supply of oil. Thi<\s a good example of the inten­ sive work being undertaken by the oil industry In protecting the petroleum resources necessary to the social and business life of every citizen.

The foregoing are samples of work In the public Interest tn addition to the mere writing of insurance which the stock fire insurance companies are constanlly doing through the various departmcnLs of The National Board of As Mr. Bulkley says.

FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE ELEVATOR ASSN. . PHONE 2145 HASTINGS, MICH. CARELESS DRIVING. More than 40 per cent of the acci­ dents Involving motor vehicles in three states during a period of eight ' months were due to reckless or careless driving. This fact is gleaned from statistics compiled from newspaper accounts of accidents by the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture. It is a severe indictment against the drivers of automobiles. The increase in the number of accidents due to thoughtless operation of automobiles means but one thing—that more strin­ gent requirements for drivers of auto­ mobiles will have to be enforced. When it becomes necessary to restrict the operation ot motor vehicles and burdensome and expensive exami­ nations are required, the careful driver will suffer equally with the reckless and careless. Thoughtlessness that jeopardises the lives of others is Inexcusable. Why per­ sons drive automobiles without giving consideration to the rights of others to past understanding. Their selfishness in refusing to recognize the rules of the road'and use good judgment to prevent accidents deserves the severest condem­ nation. They may risk their own necks if they wish—that is their own business —but It is not their right to increase the hazard of motoring for the careful driver. Public sentiment will have to outlaw the reckless driver because the toll he takes U entirely too large. >. These are the words of the great “Empire Builder" of America, whose farseeing vision enabled him to see the undeveloped west and transform it into an empire. Saving money was the “seed to his success.” His rise from com­ parative poverty, to become one of the world's wealthiest men at the time of his death, only emphasizes the necessity of saving money and being able to take advantage of "OPPORTUNITY," when it knocks at your door. We cannot all become "Jim Hills," but every wage earner, in good health, can save a portion of the weekly wage, if he, dr 'she, seriously determines to, and thus be in a position, financially, to embrace any opportunity that comes. Interest on money works "day and night,” and a good bank account is one of the best friends you can have. This Bank has started many a man and woman on the road to SUCCESS. Why not let us help you?

Thrift plans, fostered by business or­ ganizations for the benefit of their own employees are being given wide atten­ tion. Encouraging indeed is this sign of progress. Business is realizing more and more that it helps Itself most when it in turn helps others. These thrift plans take various forms, being called in some cases, profltsharing. employee stock ownership, thrift and welfare policies. Many corporations arc assisting their employees to purchase stock on a most profitable basis and often below the open market price. Such stock owner­ ship gives the employee a more Intense interest In hls work and permits him to make a profit on his activity in addition to his sa)nry or wage. Other corpora­ tions provide home ownership plans whereby the company in each instance helps the employee in owning a home. Special savings plans are also fre­ quently used by firms and corporations for the benefit of the employees. To be happy and successful In busi­ ness requires happiness and success tn the home. Thus business organizations which encourage thrift among their employ­ ees are in turn reaping the rewards of greater efficiency. But this is not to be viewed from the standpoint of selfishness. While the company secures benefits from the thrift of its employees, the community, the nation and society In general are likewise benefited. The establishment of a thrifty family in a community is always an added force to the progress of that community. As this movement gains headway, real progress in the problem of human relations will be achieved.—8. W. Straus. PHILOSOPHY.

It also has । many more smooth-tongued "sharp­ ers," whose sole mission seems to be to “fleece" honest people out of their hard-earned cash. The loss from this source alone, runs into many Hun­ dreds of Millions of Dollars every year. This Bank is a part of this communi­ ty. Its aim is to protect the interests of the people of this section. Finance is our business. Banks have ways of finding out the standing of any firm, concern or corporation. Before you in- J vest your hard-earned money with any" one who diaims'to be letting you in on the "ground floor," in an enterprise you know nothing about, it will pay you to see your Banker. Don t let any part of your "nest egg" be included in the hundreds of millions of dollars lost annually through "‘fake" investments. Be sure you’re safe before you part with it. But before you can invest, you must save. Here’s where we can be of real help to you, because we pay you three per cent interest on your savings, com­ pounded twice each year. As your sav­ ings increase, your interest grows. Ulti­ mately some opportunity will come for you to safely invest it. But the import­ ant thing is to open a savings account with this Bank and add to it as rapidly as you can. Many successful people have started here in just that way. Why Not YOU.

"Present supplied of old com are much larger than those of a year ago and with slightly fewer hogs In the country there does not appear to be a prospect of a feed shortage, such as wc experienced last year." said Arnold. “For that reason the number of hogs reaching lire market during the next six weeks should be somewhat larger than that of last year. This does not mean the supply should be heavier during the coming period, but docs mean that it was extremely light last year. For that reason it seems our market supply of hogs during thc last of this year should be somewhat more normal than during 1928 with an in­ creased supply of hogs after thc new com is available. "Hogs prices are apparently st ill.on the upward swing of the cycle and al­ though should expect the usual seasonal declines during the last three! months of the year every indication points toward a fairly good hog market for at least another 12 months."

At that time 1 had several competitors in business— they’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 1 would eventu­ ally outgrow. Some of the best known educators of that time ridiculed my pedagogy.

Bank Bnlldlnf DETROIT May 15. 1929 Mr. C. J. Argubright. Preaident A Business Manager, Michigan Business & Normal College, Battle Creek. Michigan. Dear Sir: \ I have had the privilege ol observing; the progress made In business by several graduates of your school, some of whom have worked directly under my supervision while others have been employed in offices with which I have had close contact. All of them seem to progress unusually fast in their respective positions. The reason why the graduates of your school progress more rapidly that those from other schools, it seems to me, Ls due first­ ly, to the acceptance for enrollment by your school of only those students who are naturally filled for their chosen lines of en­ deavor and secondly, to the course of training given by your school through which students are required to solve practical problems which arise In every-day business. As you know by past experience, I have no hesitancy in ac­ cepting or recommending your graduates for employment when they have been recommended to me by you. Very truly yours, (Signed) CYRIL N. BULLOCK. was singularly successful in choosing the right person for the right job, that 1 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. 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 research laboratories the world over, are finding and proving the truth of these basic educational principles. 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 the graduates of most 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. 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 signed for the training of young men and young women for accounting, business administration, and secretarial positions. 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. 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 Argubright training it would have been worth at least $10,000.00 to him the first five years of his legal practice. Many young men and young women who expect to specialize in Law, Medicine, and the fine arts courses, as offered in the State and other Universities, have taken ouV training for the value that it gives. Several of the wealthiest men in this community send their sons and % daughters to this school because they want them to have the PRACTICAL EDUCATION they get here. A number of young people have already arranged to begin their training <with us during September, and later in the year. Most of these young people have recently graduated from high schools. Some of them have com­ pleted from one to four years' college or university work. They all realize the value of our training. Our attend­ ance is limited to a definite number of students through­ out the entire year, and our student-body carefully se­ lected. 1 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, 1 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, 1 am fully repaid for all my efforts in their behalf. . . ARGUBRIGHT’S SCHOOL D. B.

They also strengthen the castings—prolong the life of the heating unit —save fuel.

The hunters will note some changes in the law mentioned by Director Hogarth. Thc instructions to Mr. Sumner are as follows: Important changes in the law gov­ erning the conslructon and use of duck-blinds are made in Selection 10-k of the Game Law of 1920. The old law (page 72 of the Brown Book. 19271 prohibited the use of blinds "unless placed or anchored with­ in SOO feet of the shore or of thc rush, brush or grass bed.” Because of the difficulty of defining “grass bed." this section of the old law was never well respected or enforced, Thc new law gives us clear instruc­ tions. Il prohibits tiie use of blinds “Unless placed or anchored within fined rush, grass or other emergent vegetation.*' Plants which grow below or at the surface, such as pond-weeds, musk­ grass. wild celery, pond lilies and the like are hoi emergent. Above-water growth such as wild rice, reeds, rushes, cat-tails, and the like, are emergent and it will be lawful to locate blinds inside of, or within 100 feet of such growth if it is tall parent's barn. enough and thick enough to be con­ Several of the young people from sidered as growing In "well-defined" here attended the birthday party of formations.

Where hunters can get a fair chance at the ducks by using shore blinds of the usual sort, it is not likely thal the Commission will approve the use of floating anchored blinds. If the ducks are to have a fair opportuitity to rest and feed, and to stay in Michigan long enough to give hunters a chance at them, they must have numerous safe feeding and resting places. Keeping blinds out of the open water is only one of the several measures which the Department may take under thc new law. Definite refuges may now be es­ tablished; closed days and early closing hours may also be ordered. Please see to It that the new law governing blinds Is explained to duck hunters before tire season opens, and then that the law is well enforced. George R. Hogarth. Director.

WRECK WINTER HOMES OF BLACK STEM RUST Common Barberry Shelters Destractive Disease of Small Drains Buy Now and Save Money Fill Your Bin with Consumers COKE Price Increases Soon Telephone 2305 Qzonsumers Power. Hastings, Mich COMPANY East Lansing. Aug. 26.—While Michi­ gan is advertising its advantages as a locality for summer hbmes. the United States Department of Agriculture is paying two crews of men to destroy thc winter homes of the black stem rust of grain in this State, according to the statement of Walter Reddy. East Lan­ sing. State supervisor of barberry eradi­ cation. Black stem rust is one of several plant diseases which damage cultivated crops during tho growing season and then pass the winter living on some wild plant. Thc common barberry Ls the winter host of stem rust, and the destruction of barberry greatly lessens tiie damage caflsed by rust. The crews which are destroying bar­ berry bushes in Michigan are now working in Antrim county. They have found thousands of barberry plants in cutover areas where dense cover makes the detection of the bushes very diffi­ cult. The working crews carry salt and place several pounds around each bush. As the salt goes Into solution and soaks into the soil, the barberry Is killed and no sprouts come up from the roots. Digging out the bushes is difficult and often results in several sprouts growing from roots which were not removed from the soil. Black stem rust affects all the small grains and will also live on many varie­ ties of wild grass. In favorable weath­ er the rust spreads rapidly, and causes thousands of dollars of damage to grain crops. FIELD Babe Ruth Knows “The Babe" knows the secret of keeping fit.

Do You Know How Much a Permanent Reliable Milk Market is Worth to You? A MARKET ’ ■'H'iSSlv —That takes care of the Increased Production of Your Herd. —That Always Pays as High a Price as Market Conditions Will Allow. —That Tries Constantly to Render a Helpful Service to Every Patron. The Arctic Dairy Products Co. is Here for Just Such Purposes as These This Company has enabled many farmers to engage in the Dairying Bus­ iness to splenaid profit. Not just alone profit to themselves, but they have enriched the whole community by the enterprise which come with success­ ful dairying. This is a picture of one of the finest dairy barns in Michigan. Sit­ uated on a farm right here in Barry county, where soil and climatic conditions are particu­ larly favorable to a paying Dairy Business. This is the Dairy Herd on the farm re­ ferred to above. The largest one-day’s milk­ ing of this herd of 20 cows was unloaded at our plant one Monday morning and weighed' in at almost 1700 lbs. The owner reported having received $700 in one check for one month’s milk. 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. i 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 1 here are many Dairy Farms in Michi­ gan like this one.

The Same Rule Applies to Cows. Think it Over. Have You a Cow You Would Trade for a Better Milk Producer?

COWDREY, Proprietor Hastings, I PHONE 2241 WE DELIVER ■■MH �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST M, ISM On the outsklrta of Detroit, near the great Ford airport. the Stand­ ard Oil Company (Indiana) has erected a large painted bulletin ad­ vertising Ils producU to those who travel by air. This board Is over fifty feet long by fifteen feet high and la set ut an angle of forty-five degrees to make It easily rend by those who fly over tin* urea and also clearly visible to the motorists who drive along the highway near­ by. This Is an advertising innovation. It la the first purely commercial bul­ letin ever built, tho primary pur­ pose of which Is to catch the at­ tention of that rapidly expanding public who have become air minded. The decision of the Standard till Com[»ny (Indiana) Io utilize this unique form of advertising is an eloquent expression of their belief that aviation Is on the eve of tre­ mendous ••xpansIflffThnd thut trans­ portation by air soon will lie u commonplace means of getting from one'part'of tiie country to another. The location of this bulletin Is such thut u large number of the airplanes that come and go from the Ford Held pass n*-ur enough to It to enable those who ride to see and read the message. The development of them bulle­ tins Is a natural evolution from the airway markejy which were orig­ inated nnd first put In service by the 'Standard <111 Company (In­ diana) several years ago. These markers, which are paint<*<| on the roofs of the company's warehouses throughout the Central*’ States, carry the name of the town, com[>uss reading und directions to the airport. If one is Intuit'd within n few miles of thc sign. Ttie favorable reception which these markers received, not ulono from those Interested in aviation, professionally, but ulso from the layman who chanced to fly over and see how practically useful they are, led the management of tho Stand­ ard <»ll Company to tielieve that advertising signs displayed to lie viewer! from ulxivo would impress those who saw them. To what extent these airway sign boards will be utilized by the Standurd Oil Company has not la-en announced, but It Is safe to say that us aviation progn—Mes. nnd nlr travel la-comes the ordinary means of transportation for the busy man. this form of uiit-nf-door advertising will ber-ome popular.

Gasoline nt first was an undesirable by-product of petroleum, unavoidably obtained in the iiMiiufnctuic.oT kerosene. Then came thc automobile nnd men needed gasoline inure than kerosene. The demand jn< reused so rapidly that it appeared certain that the earth could nut yield sufficient crude oil Io supply the millions of motor cars. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) met ti>e situation bv increaring the yield of gasoline from crude |H-tr<>fcum by dev >loj>ing "cracking" processes, ' thus initiating an entirely new method of relining. The importance of this scientific pioneering to nxsirm mi to mobile fnimportution in suggested by the American Petroleum institute. ’'Without the supply of gasoline obtained from . *cra< king’ operations, the u*c of automobiles could pridodtly not han- expanded to its present propor­ tion- for.lack of foci." Thi» statement i* supported with alativtkw to show thal "cracked" gasoline sup­ plied fuil for 8.600.000 motor vehicle's in 1926.

(Continued from page one) necessary land along Broadway, which he had agreed to sell at the price he named only on condition that they change the sharp angle at the corner to a safe curve and pave it. Several days before this he had writ­ ten the highway authorities at Lansing, culling their attention U) the fact lhat he had agreed to lhe price named for the required land on Broadway only on condition that they put in the curved approach to 37 from 43. on lhe land which he had donated for that purpose. No attention was paid to this letter. Accordingly Mr. Anderson af­ ter hl* visit to Hastings, promptly wrote another stating that there did not ap-' ix'aj to be any plan or purpose to put in a curve at the Junction of lhe two street* on the north side as had been agreed. He stated that If they did not at once proceed-to do as had been agreed he would get out an injunction, which would have stopped operations until the suit could be tried. Needless to add this letter received a very earnest and prompt reply. The result Is that this curve te now being made as Mr. Anderson wanted it to be. and It should be for lhe safety of the public. . The people of Hastings will surely appreciate Mr. Anderson's generosity in donating the land to Use state for that purpose, and for his insistence lhat the agreement made with hten by the nght-of-wa'y solicitor, representing the state highway department be ful­ filled. .

Insulation means to i^late, or in the sense apply­ ing to building, to keep out Cold in Winter and Heat in Summer. Money spent for proper insulation is truly Money wisely invested. At least one-third of the heat from your heating plant goes out through the roof. Put Celotex or Insulite over the ceiling in the attic and you can save a great, deal of this heat. Saving heat means saving coal, saving coal saves-money, saves work in the basement, and affords you greater com-, fort in your home. , To put CELOTEX or INSULITE over your ceiling in the attic is not an expensive job. Better tell us to give you an estimate on insulating your attic. ♦ R. C. Fuller Lumber Co.

PHONE 1I1J or 3506 �THE HASTINGS BANNER Wednesday, Sept. 4, 1929 CAN MORE THAN DOUBLE THE OUTPUT OF GASOLINE FROM CRUDE OIL BY ' NEW PROCESS DISCOVERED BY A GERMAN CHEMIST A few years ago there was much talk about the probability of a speedy end to thc production of petroleum In this country, which would spell the doom of the gasoline engine and the au­ tomobile. A commission headed by Wil­ liam Howard Taft, afterwards Presi­ dent and at present Chief Justice of the U. a Supreme Court, reported some years ago that the petroleum suuply of the United States would be exhaust­ ed within the next 12 years. That time has gone by nnd some more along with it. and more petroleum is now produced than ever before in tbe United States. Of course there will be an end to its production, because there will probably not be any more produced in the un­ der-ground reservoirs, from which It has been drawn In lhe past. But the day for eifhaustlon of the petroleum resources In the United States Is not yet at hand. In the meantime chemists are dis­ covering ways In which to produce more gasoline from |>etroleum. As it originally comes from the ground in the Pennsylvania and other eastern fields, the percentage of naptha or gasoline collected was about 10 or 12 per cent. A few years ago a process called •■cracking" was discovered, which in­ creased the production of gasoline from petroleum to about 30 per cent. Now comes the word that refineries are turning crude oil entirely Into gas and other products by catalysis. This means that tlie potential supply of gasoline in this country is automat­ ically Increased more than 100 per cent. This will undoubtedly set back the date for lhe disappearance of gasoline a good many years; because crude oil can be imported Into this country from Mexico. Centra] America, os well as South America, also from ports of I Asia, when our supply is exhausted. This country has billions of barrels of petroleum stored away in rocks that undoubtedly can be made to give it up by some process. These rocks outcrop In half a dozen places In the Rocky Mountain states. Of course there orc other tilings that naturaly arise with this new discovery which was made by a German chemist, and the right to use It in this country । purchased by the Standard Oil Com■ pany. Such questions as these may be­ come real problems: What may be­ come the price of fuel oli for furnaces, oil burning ships, etc? What will happen to the coat of rood oli when it is known that a simple process can j make gas ot It? | Oernfan chemists are now at work trying to turn water into gases that will produce fuel for the gus engine. If they succeed in that, we may not have to worry about the future of gaso­ line. In any event It is not wortn while to be troubled about the situation for several years to come.

DAY, AUGUST 28 Stiff Fines and Imprisonment Ordered for Liquor Law Vio­ lators in This State At Its recent session Congress passed provides drastic punishment for viola­ tion of the prohibition law. The legis, latures of Michigan have shown a co­ operative spirit and a disposition to work with the National Government. That body enacted a law last spring which I* far more severe than any other Ahat has ever been upon the stat­ ute txFks of this state, in dealing with oftenders against the state prohibition law. This new measure became a law on August 28 and 13 now in eflect. Laming dispatches published in tlie dally press the following provisions of Michigan ’’Jones law," which provides mandatory prison sentences for com­ mercial bootleggers, goes into effect Wednesday, stepping up the penalty for liquor sale to a term of from one to four years for the first offense with an additional penally of a 12,000 fine pos­ sible. For non-commerdal violations of the act. which Includes possession-charges. thc penalty is advanced from a maxi­ mum of six montiis and $200 for lhe first offense to two years and $2,000. Placing thc oct in effect brings to completion the outstanding dry victory during the 1929 legislature, a victory which more than counteracts that claimed by more liberal members when they obtained an amendment of thc state’s criminal code exempting pro­ hibition law violators from the fourth­ felony, life term provisions. Altered In Conference. The act was brought onto the floor of the house by Representative Alex Cuthbertson of Flint, at the insistence of. Rev. R. N. Holsaple. superintendent of lhe suite Anti-Saloon league, in Its original form It carried a maximum sentence of five years for all violations OFThe prohibition laws and was de­ signed to bring liquor convictions back under the life term provisions of the code as amended. Somewhat modified, it was parsed by the house, but was approved in the senate only after it had been revamped entirely. In the new form the house turned down the bill and lhe present act was the result of the labors of a conference committee. Aside from the alterations In the penalty, lhe outstanding feature of the act is that it bloces the legislature on record as dlwlmlniftlng between the ’’casual’’ and professional violator.

FLY SPRAY PART TWO THRIFT MEANS MORE THAN SAVING PENNIES "That fellow knows how to get along. The pennies do not escape him.” Such a statement as this Is not In­ frequently heard: it reflects the concep­ tion ot thrift as held by many. Thrift, however, means more than Just saving pennies. Attempting to •limit thrift to the saving of money is merely an effort to accept a half-truth. Altogether too much encouragement haa been given to the false doctrine that the thrifty man Is a penny saver. As an effect of this false viewpoint, harmful resistance to thrift has been created, It Is true that saving pennies Is one of the rudiments of thrift. But it Is Just as thrifty to save moments; to , save one's health; to save one's-energy. Thrift Is efficiency. Thrift is elimi­ nating waste. Thrift is spending wisely as well as saving systematically. Many a successful career and many a great enterprise were founded on pen­ ny saving. But to say that thrift con­ sists of saving pennies Is os far from the Whole truth as to say that the al­ phabet Is literature or that those who know the multiplication table have mastered mathematics Let us have more penny savers, both literal and figurative. Ltt us all learn more and more tlie value of little things. Let us do all we can to en­ courage the thought that a penny saved means a great deal more titan a penny earned. But let us not foster miserli­ ness or encourage the belief, already too prevalent, that there Is nothing to thrift but tlie hoarding ot pennies. Save the pennies, but do not stop there. Money is the symbol of wealth. ■• but it is not the symbol of human prog­ ress. The value of thrift as an essen­ tial element of individual development cannot rightly be measured from the standpoint of saving pennies.—By 8. W. । Straus. . _ '. I Lehigh Bail Sugar-Quick Shipments These are the words of the great “Empire Builder” of America, whose farseeing vision enabled him to see the undeveloped west and transform it into an empire. Saving money was the "seed to his success.” His rise from com­ parative poverty, to become one of the world’s wealthiest men at the time of his death, only emphasizes the necessity of saving money and being able to take advantage of "OPPORTUNITY," wnpn it knocks at your door. We cannot all become "Jim Hills,” but every wage earner, in good health, can save a portion of the weekly wage, if he, or she, seriously determines to, and thus be in a position, financially, to embrace any opportunity that comes. Interest on money works "day and night,” and a good bank account is one of the best friends you can have. This Bank has started many a man and woman on the road to SUCCESS. Why not let us help you? Why not start a bank account TODAY?

This Is much larger than usual. There Is Included in it $6,500,000 for the purpose of needed additions to the penal institutions, state hospitals and some of the schools conducted by the state, and for other building purposes such as thc Stale Industrial Home for Boys at Lansing, and the State Industrial Home lor girls at Adrian. Taking out this $6.­ 500,000 would leave a tax somewhere near where it has averaged In recent years. The legislature voted Its ap­ proval for this building, program which Is to be carried on through thc next four years. Tlie growth of the state, os we mention elsewhere, shows that our population has increased over two millions since the census of 1920. Oui state Institutions have not grown cor­ respondingly; hence the need of this building program. Tlie legislature and Governor Green met this urgent need as they should, and met it In the only way they could, by pn Increase In the state tax.

Michigan ranked among the four leading states of the country In funds received from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses during 1927-28, accord­ ing to information furnished by the U. S. department of agriculture. The peninsular state accumulated a total of $710,523.47 from hunting and fishing licenses, while Pennsylvania showed the largest return with $1,006,159.70 from hunting licenses alone. New York-was also high on the list with $#>9,873.52 from combined hunting and fishing licenses. New York had the largest number of resident hunters and fishermen but Michigan was close in thc running with 362,808 hunting licenses.- Ohio out stripped Michigan by its total of 368,­ 377 hunting permits, and Pennsylvania did better with 515,948. While Michigan. New York and Pennsylvania are leading the race for the premier hunting and fishing state, and Michigan is behind these two. It Is pointed out lhat the concentration of population is markedly higher in the eastern region. Of the states bor­ dering on tlie great lakes. Michigan. Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Wisconsin and Minnesota, the wolverine state had no strong competition aside from that offered by Ohio. Michigan outranks by a safe mar­ gin the seven states of Idaho. Maine. Montana, Nevada.

FEES ARE BOOSTED FOR NATURALIZATION United States Citizenship Now Costs $20—Up 500 Per Cent United States citizenship has be­ come a more expensive product for all aliens in this country. Beginning July 1. 1929. the naturalization fee was boosted by act of Congress from $4 to $20. An applicant for citizenship used to be able to walk into a count}' clerk's office and make a declaration of inten­ tion In order to get first paiwrs. Now authority must come from Washington for'the issuance of any blanks and everything goes through the hands of thc Commissioner of Naturalization Raymond F. Crist. Before July A.tho total cost was $4.! Now just the declaration costs $5. Then 1 there is another Sb fee for certificate ot | arrival, and lastly a $10 fee for final | papers nt the time thc applicant makes ills final petition. Almost every detail of the process has been changed. only the basic prin-1 ciples remain as before. For instance. I formerly when a man wanted a certi- j fled copy of bls papers. or a duplicate in case of loss. he could get them from j lhe clerk.

In how many communities it can be said: “Mr. — owned that beautiful home, but he got to “playing the mar­ ket, and—" or “Mrs. —’s husband left her well off when he died, but she bought some stock that was no £ood and—” , This country has many sound invest­ ment opportunities in both good stocks arid good bonds. It also has\ many more smooth-tongued “sharp­ ers," whose sole mission seems to be tor "fleece" honest people out of their hard-earned cash. The loss from this source alone, runs into many Hun­ dreds of Millions of Dollars every year. This Bank is a part of this communi­ ty. Its aim is to protect the interests of the people of this section. Finance is business. Banks have ways of finding out the standing of any firm, concern or corporation. Before you inoupu vest your hard-earned money with any’ one who claims to be letting you in on the "ground floor," in an enterprise you know nothing about, it will pay you to see your Banker. Don't let any part of your "nest egg” be included in the hundreds of millions of dollars lost annually through "fake” investments. Be sure you’re safe before you part with it. » But before you can invest, you must save. Here’s where we can be of real help to you, because we pay you three per cent interest on your savings, com­ pounded twice each year. As your sav­ ings increase, your interest grows. Ulti­ mately some opportunity will come for you to safely invest it. But the import­ ant thing is to open a savings account with this Bank and add to it as rapidly as you can. Many successful people have started here in just that way. Why Not YOU.

Sept. 9—Records of butterfat production for a grade cow whlch was offered for sale for 50 dollars seven years ago in Eaton County show that the animal has returned $1,005.84 above the cost of het feed since that time, and she has one daughter which paid 1160 81 more than the cost of her feed Into the herd profits last year. The records ot these two animals were made available through., the ac­ counts kept on the production and feed costs for each animal in herds entered In herd improvement association work. Such records make it possible for dairymen to select their most profitable animals for breeding stock and to cull out the unprofitable cows. Testers in the association also aid herd owners In making up rations for the cattie. One Ingham county dairy­ man was saved 17 dollars a ton on the grain mixture which he was feeding by suggestions which enabled him to use cheaper grains. The production records on his herd proved that the cheaper grain ration did not lessen the amount of butterfat produced. The improvement of the cattle In the herd through the use of good herd sires can be accurately checked by the tes­ ter's records over a period of years. The sires of high producing heifers can be saved for continued use in the herd or the animals can be exchanged for others' with known records. BARRYVILLE. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Michigan Through the courtesy of Mrs. Ger­ trude Scudder, of Woodland, we have beeh permitted to see No. 1 of Volume I. of lhe High School Crescent, which was a High School paper published 43 years ago. It'began in September 1887. and we are told continued for a year. Vol. 1 No. 1 starts out with an edi­ torial which reads as follows: "The Crescent should become one of lhe permanent Institutions- of the school. ; and aa such should receive the support I of every family and be filed away with the archives of'each home; and by and by when those who are now pupils have finished "school life" and have entered upon the sterner realities of "life’s school:" when the memories of bright faces and the happy hours of the present shall become dim through the mists of years; then will the spirit yearn for some reminder of bygone days; then will your school paper, which had nearly been forgotten, be a souvenir of almost priceless value.” The editorial staff consisted of 8upt.

Genung. an agricultural economist, holds that there are better days com­ ing for farm lands, especially where the land is*productive and well located. In a reecnt issue of the Farm Journal he spoke as follows: "By the time we wake up to the fact, they will be marking farm prices up. for wise farmers are buying." he said. "Bit by bit. agriculture is getting straightened away for a generation of prosperity.'1" He cites six factors which point to Increased land values and a rising level of prosperity for farming as a whole. The establishment of the fed­ eral farm board with its co-operative marketing assistance, and the assur­ ance of increased protection of the do­ mestic market by the government's tariff policy are important considera­ tion. but only two of the factors which should start a bull market In farm lands and activities in the near future, he says. Other Influences at work to improve the farmer's status are: The recent drift of surplus farm population to the cities, plus the growth of city popula­ tion by immigration; Improvement of the rural credit situation the national good roads program and Improvements of transportation and communication.

Security The above corporations have paid fash or stock\lividends for an average of 32 years consecutively, and all are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. North American Trust -Shares are rated “A” by Moody’s Investors Service. Non-Substitution No change may be made in the above stock unit, nor in the number of shares of any stock except in case of merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of the property of any company, in accordance with the provisions of the trust indenture, and except as follows: Elimination Noh-income producing stocks may be eliminated in the discretion of the Depositor upon the failure of any of the above corporations to pay a usual divi­ dend, unless a dividend is paid before the stock is sold. Should any of the above corporations fail to pay any dividend for a period of one hundred (100) days after its failure to pay a usual dividend, the Trustee shall sell the stock. The proceeds of any sale will be distributed pro rata to the holders of North Ameri­ can Trust Shares on the next ensuing coupon pay­ ment date according to the terms of the agreement. Yield If North American Trust Shares had been in exist­ ence for the 18-year period from January 1, 1911, to June 30, 19429, the average annual return,, based upon the average annual asked price of $9.75 per share, would have been $2,544.82 per unit, or $1.27 per North American Truat Share, the equivalent of 13.03% per annum. The return on North American Trust Shares for the 6 months period ended June 30, 1929, exceeds $1,230.00 per unit—or 61V(»c per. North American Trust Share. This is at the rate ofT.2.0 per cent per annum on $10.25, which was the price on February 19, 1929, the date of the public offering. Included in the foregoing return were (l).cash dividends, and (2) the value of subscription rights, and stock divi­ dends and । or additional shares of stock received from split-ups. * Marketability 1.

The bearer of certificates representing any num­ ber of shares less than a l't unit (500 shares) may likewise convert through the Trustee and receive a sum in cash equal to the value of the deposited stocks, reserve fund and accumulated dividends.

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 thd 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 realizing 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 FIG­ URES, EVERYONE OF THE TWENTY-ONE MEN IN THE UNITED STATES WHO REPORTED TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL IN­ COMES OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS OR MOKE, WAS A BUSINESS MAN. There was not a tradesman or pro­ fessional man in the lot. These twenty-one men are only tKe “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. The 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 — (the development of the- “skills” co-ordinately with the mastery of higher college subjects — the immense sav­ ing of time — the conservation of college expenses — the gaining of 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 tho'se electing a four-year 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 citizenship later in life. In this balance between cultural and utility values, Argubright’s School offers what is believed to be the nearest approach to the ideal yet attained in Business Administration, ,' Accounting, and Secretarial Science Courses of full College Grade. Roger W. Babson, recognized 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 NOT 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 collegeshave a marked inability to organize their time and they form habits undesirable in business. They are demanding college trained men and women who have 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, large­ ly for .the cultured, titled and leisure classes. I shall be happy to talk with any parents who may be planning thp 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 them 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 of being happy. If you wish to come to my office, 1 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 1 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 during October and later. Our enrollment is limited. Our student body is carefully selected. \OTICE TO CREDITORS.

STRICT LAW GOVERN- ’ ING AUTO ACCIDENTS Officers and Garage Owners Must Report to State Authorities Undo* a new law which became effec­ tive August 28 any automobile accident, which causes death or injury of a scrilous nature and which damages a ve­ hicle to such an extent that it cannot be moved away by its own power, must be reported to the Sheriff and police department. There is a penally for falling to comply with this law within I 48 hours. Sheriff Leonard has been supplied .with the necessary blanks for report| Ing such accidents to the proper au| thorities at Lansing. Hitherto the ।'Sheriff has not had to make reports I where no serious injury occurred. As 'the law now stands, accidents, except j those of a trivial nature, must be re1 ported to the Sheriff, and he in turn ' must make reports as required by the law to the state. The new order to Sheriff Leonard came from lhe state Department of Safety, which requires them for the compilation of statistics as the basis of safety measures. The new blanks which have been furnished by the state call for detailed accounts of accidents. They are not. however, to be available for use in court and law cases. Garage I keepers are brought under the new law. which requires them to report every wrecked car towed in. and every car which has marks upon it such as those made by bullets. Failure to make report* will consti­ tute a misdemeanor, punishable with a fine of $100 or 90 days in jail. SOUTH VERMONTVILLE.

S 14 s II 3. || U S। 11 In a recent interview. Thomas A. EdIson made the statement that "govemment never really went into business. for it never made ends meet—the first requisite of business." No government enterprise evermade money. The post office, the govemment shipping lines, the railroads durIng the war—al! have been' subsidised loss to the taxpayers. One of the wisest statements ever made is that the government exists for the people, not the people for the gov­ ernment. It Is the function of the. TERMS OF SALE:—All sums of $5.00 and under cash. Over that amount 6 months time will be given on good bankable paper with interest at 7 per cent. No property to be removed until settled for. ordered society and punish those who break them. It is likewise the business of the state to provide, by tax assess­ ments. agencies of existence which are out of the sphere of business, such as JAY WILKINSON But it is not the function of govern­ ment to compete with the private dlltens who created and support it. Such an action strikes at the roots of ambltion and progress and individuality.

The pleasures and advantages of modem outdoor life are set forth in in­ teresting fashion in the current issue of the National Republic by Senator Harry B. Hawes, of Missouri, wiio de­ clares that we need more of the "big outdoor*." Senator Hawes urge* more national park* and play grounds and says In part; "The cMy bed and fancy sanitation are luxuries made more attractive by a week on the ground; the camp fire makes the radiator endurable; thc flapjack, the bacon and thc browned fish bring the 'comeback' after hard work and the hotel menu. "The city and thc town have their call, but they have a sameness and a 'too sureness' to be palatable for all of the twelve months. To find rest we must find a change. The same streets.' the same signts. though of the best, the same roots, the same faces and food of tiie same kind, pall qpon the appetite and tire thc brain. “We must find real rest by seeking contrast, by finding the 'big outdoors.' by not living too much and too long In­ doors. "The doctor tries his medicine and fail*, the friend hL companionship and falls, and if they are wise physicians and thoughtful friends, they advise a change of scenery, a new environment. "What is becoming of our big out­ doors? Where are the animals, the birds, and the fishes whose presence re­ newed the primitive and stronger na­ tural instincts? They are disappearing, now almost gone. Can Individuals stay their departure? Can citisens hold these things for our children? Not by individual action. Only the state and nation are strong enough to keep these retreats and asylums for the benefit of both the wild things and for men and women. "When wc lose tiie big outdoors, we t <j— lose ___ part. of ___________ our national> pride, pluck and patriotism. "When we keep the big outdoors, we keep our best thoughts, our best reso­ lutions and. above all our best tradi­ tions. "When we keep our outdoor* we make a real, substantial, dividend-pay­ ing investment in national prosperity, in national health, in national, con­ science and public welfare. "The big outdoor! saves the strength, saves the nerves, saves the brain and saves the doctor bill. “Our federal government should buy some of the big outdoors now. when opportunity knocks and the price* is cheap, and then buy more when oppor­ tunity comes again. The big outdoors is for the poor and for the rich it is ,। for all our people and we cannot buy ' too much now, for soon there will be none to buy." STABILIZING THE OIL INDUSTRY. The oil Industry expects that acqui­ sitions and mergers of various prop­ erties will prove to be among the outstanding events In petroleum this year, says the Boston News Bureau. Really u # process of integration, these mergers are expected to have two distinct phases. One will be acquisi­ tion by already big unite of smaller companies to fill out their geographical position. The other undoubtedly will be to keep step with the trend of ex­ pansion by big companies. The motive for company mergers is to obtain the advantages of nationwide operation* or os nearly nationwide as tion of marketing station chains by month* there have been several ot these giving the larger companies representation for them in new mar- There is admittedly too much oil production and effective control ot yield somewhere in consonance with requirements is made less easy by. existence of varying units and inter­ ests Centralization of producing ownership into fewer units might make it easier to cope with overpro­ duction and the putting Into effect at real conservation. The marketing end is probably over­ built to thc same degree as production is overdeveloped. Duplication of mar­ keting facilities ha* been rampant for yean. To a considerable degree thia situation is expected to be stabilised by the code of marketing ethics for­ mulated by the oil Industry and now being considered by the Federal Trade Commission. An equity healthy sign is that territorial expansion of market* is being effected by major unite through acquisition rather than dupli­ cation of facilities. NECESSITY FOB SAFETY STANDARDIZATION.

September 24th, 1879, Bert 8. Holly and Lana Baitinger of Woodland were united in marriage In that village. •""Fifty years, largely filled with happi­ ness but with their sorrows as well as Joys, have passed since Drat time. Chil­ dren came to bless the home; and it was a happy home. The parents loved music, so all lhe children grew to love and appreciate It too. nnd many were the happy hours they spent together. But they were not selfish about it; they shared with others tiielr - talents in music as well as of other kinds; so Woodland nnd thc world have been better and happier because they lived. Their living children are Mrs. Agnes Fisher of this city, nnd Dr. Leland Holly of Grand Rapids. Tiie doctor's older -brother Frank died several years ago. Mr. and Mrs Holly have seven grand­ children and two great grandchildren. Il was not thc plan of Mr. and Mrs. Holly to do anything special in observ­ ance of their fiftieth wedding anniver­ sary; but their children took that mat­ ter In charge. 8o there was held at their home in Woodland yesterday af­ ternoon and evening very h^ppy gath­ erings of relatives and friends, who re­ joiced with Mr. and Mrs. Holly over their fifty golden years. Rev. James Roberts, thc pastor-wbo united them in marriage is not living; but Frank Bach, of Marshall, who with Mrs. Holly’s sis­ ter. now Mrs. Snuggs of Detroit, attend­ ed them at their wedding, was present at this anniversary with his wife. Mrs Snuggs was unable to attend because of illness. In the afterpoon the neighbors were the guests in the Holly home. In thc evening there was a still larger num­ ber. about 120 in all. and they had a delightful time. Among the pleasant features of the evening was a duct by Mrs Rena Culler and Mrs. Lejand Holly, a solo by Mrs. Leland Holly and a duet by Mr. and Mrs. B 8. Holly, who sang very sweetly "Silver Threads Among the Gold.” Dr. Leland Holly accom­ panying on the piano. As you can well imagine this part of the [gogram was outstanding in interest. There was Just one inappropriate thing about the song, there were no ‘silver threads among tlic gold' in the case of either Mr. or Mrs. Holly—hardly a gray hair. In a surprising degree they have kept their youthful looks. This is because they have been young in spirit and have entered into life with . the Christian motive of love and good will. The following poem, written by Mrs. Mary Tetter of tike Ode^a, «■„ read by Mrs. Culler and was appreciated by all. JUST FIFTY YEARS AGO. Some years ago. as you all know, A fine young man. all-spick and span. With eyes so bright, and heart so light.

Millard’s performances in this county we mentioned last February, when he was brought into court and sentenced for larceny. His crime con­ sisted of getting money, paid in ad­ vance to him for enlarging pictures, and then taking lhe pictures which were highly valued by tiie owner and never reluming the pictures nor de­ livering lhe enlarged picture; so that the victipi in such cases lost whatever they paid and also lost the original picture which Millard had agreed to have enlarged. Millard was then brought Into court and fined >150 00. which he managed to secure in some way. Ho was let oft on suspended sentence for a period of two years. Probation Officer C. H. Osbom laving charge of his case. The stipulation was that he was to have the pictures enlarged that he had agreed to do. return the original plclion Officer fifty cents a month to take cure of the cost connected with that work; also to mukc reports from time to time, also to go straight and deal honestly In the future. He never has returned the photograpiis. to thc victims: never delivered the enlarged pictures as agreed; nev­ er paid fifty cents a month ns he agreed to do. He did not make reports of his whereabouts and. according to reports, he continued to carry on the same disreputable practices that he had been guilty of before—that Is. taking orders for enlarged pictures and In some cases keeping the original pic­ tures that were turned over to him for enlargement. Millard, who also . goes under the name ot Tom Gray, was recently turned over to Sheriff Leonard by Sheriff Bom of Eaton County, who had arrested him together with another party. In this case he wanted the other party more than he did Millard, and so he turned the latter over to Sheriff Leonard.’in order that he might be brought before Judge McPeek here ■ for violation ot his parole. Thc sen-1 tencc In his case was to have been a year In some Michigan penal in­ stitution and it was that sentence which was waived when a parole was granted him. It appears that the Michigan legis­ lature at its last session made some change In thc larceny law. and there Is now some question just * what dis­ position can be made of the case, when Millard or Gray, whichever he is. shall face the Judge.

For Instance, last week the National City Bank of New York City absorbed the Corn Exchange Bank, thereby making a banking institution with re­ sources of over 82_500.000.000.00, having deposits of 81.780,000.000.00. the largest banking institution in the world. Pre­ vious to last week the Midland Bank of Ixmdon was the largest in existence, having resources of 12,300.000,000.00. As can bo seen the National City Bank has jumped 8200,000.000.00 ahead of the English bank, and the end is not yet. There are two other immense bank­ ing Institutions in lhe nation’s metrop­ olis. Tiie Chose National Bank has resources of over 81.500.000.000.00. and the Guarantee Trust Bank of the same city has resources of 81.700.000.000.00. What is the purpose of this consolida­ tion? That la the question that the whole country will naturally be Inter­ ested in. Undeniably one is that larger credit may be extended than any small­ er bank could offer. This would par­ ticularly interest big institutions like the United States’"Steel Company, the American Telegraph and Telephone Company and the big railroad systems of the country. When these big corpora­ tions go into the market for money they usually borrow large amounts. Tiie bank which extends the accom­ modation to a large business apterprise desires, if possible, to secure big । benefits for itself in return in the way of deposits from the borrower.

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 oiir 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.

In eight key states for the first six montl*» of* 1929, new car registrations above $1000 showed a 90 per cent increase in Eights while sixes above $1000 shewed a decrease of 16 per cent.

A crop in the silo will support more livestock per acre. 3. Silage Is worth from two-flfths to one-half as much per ton as a good legume hay. It yields from three to seven times os many tons per acre. 4. Cows fed silage produce more milk 5. Tests show that silage saves $1.00 or more a hundred in the cost of pro­ ducing beef. 6.

Lack of care of farm machinery is one of the greatest sources of loss on American farms. Every year the farm­ ers of the United States spend millions of dollars for Implements and. as a rule, these Implements last only about half as long as they should because they are not kept under cover when not In use. .When implements are given rough usage by operators and are left out­ doors, exposed to all kinds of weather, they can not be expected to do good work for more than five years. Thc life of thousands of machines is cut in two by neglect. It is Just os Important to save farm machinery as it is to save the crops af­ ter we grow them. Often we almost work our heads off to get a hay crop under cover when a sudden storm threatens. Yet, many of us allow otir ______________ farm implements to stay out in all . kinds of weather, Poor ---------care, of—machines means waste of labor, waste of money, waste of crops. Wc can not do good work with implement* that are in poor condition. Before putting any machine in the shed after it has been in use it is al­ ways best to apply a coating of grease to all polished ports. This will prevent rust. If the moldboard Is kept bright, better work will be done by the plow and lhe energy of both man and horse will be conserved.

No Substitute for Manure. No substitute at present known is capable of completely filling the place of farm manure. Notwithstanding its great value there is probably no ma­ terial on the farm in which so great and needless waste occurs. ------------- ------- It -- is a common sight in almost any section to nce stables and feed lota situated upon the bank tf of a stream or ditch dltch where wheje the most valuable portion of the manure will p-~pass into the stream. m-r.urc There ta no soil so fertile that its produring power cannot be eventually r*Yex­ hausted by continued cropping which takes fertility and returns nothing, Wc must not forget that the manure crop does not belong to the farmer, but to the soil, and must be returned to the roll. On many forms it appears as though well-laid plans has been carried out for wasting stable manure. Manure is lost by weathering, leach­ ing. heating, rotting, by piling In heaps in the field and letting stand before spreading. If you cannot spread it roon after it is produced, store It In a pit or manure shed. Don't pile it in heaps In the field. Of nil the ways in which manure is handled, piling it in heaps in the Arid is the most wasteful.

The' usual WES ARE MM THROUGH MOOT NS • Continued from page one part. one) climbing without ropes and without card-soled climbing shoes Experienced mountaineers at the hospice below the north wall begged them lq take a rope with them and put on climbers but they would not listen. The four who led the way were properly equipped. When half the climb was about com­ pleted. the upper one of the two un­ attached climbers slipped and fell to his death many hundred feet below. The body was horribly mangled. As he benn to fall the unfortunate man dis­ lodged his companion. By good for­ tune. however, the latter was caught on a projection a few feet down and aside from a nervous shock was not greatly injured. But the sight of the fall and the sudden and violent death unnerved the four climbers above and they couldn't go on by themselves. Starko and his chum happened to be in the nearby hoepice and went to their res­ cue. He tells me we shall pass by the place where lhe crushed and mangled body came to rest. I fancy he is tak­ ing me there especially to test my nerve. But lo return to the more cheerful subject of the Kamnick tour. The range of mcglntains consists of low tree covered hills that terminate in Jagged grey limestone peaks. There is an old legend of Ute Kamnick Alps that runs something like this:—Originally the entire district about Kamnick was a fertile plain. But the Evil One in a moment of fiendish glee came along und began to pile rocks on the’ field. Attempts at retribution through Di­ vine assistance seemed to fall and if a pearant cursed the Evil One. that curse would immediately descend on his own nrod. On a distant mountain lived an aged hermit who spent his days pray­ ing and meditating. Prom his lofty hermitage he could see the misfortune of lhe Kamnick farmers and Mt out to mend matters for th*m. After con­ siderable effort he bargained with Sa­ tan to confine his stone-piling activities to one certain area and leave the rest of the valley in peace. So as a result of this compromise we have the Kamnick Alps. This range, especially the grey tusk-like peaks, do look wild and fan­ tastic. Prom the distance, especially on a hazy hay. these great piles of limestone resemble slightly darkened clouds—the kind which usually pro­ ceed a thunder storm. From nearer by and in the strong sunlight you would almost swear they were snowcape, and the masses of skree or crumbled lime­ stone that extend along their slopes resemble glaciers. Through these mountains, as well as the other ranges in Slovanla, the Yugo­ slav Alpine Club have marked routes that can be travelled safely by anyone who is fairly surefooted and who doesn't get dizzy al high altitudes. Ex­ perienced mountaineers have saved the novice the trouble of picking a path. After three or four years of following these marked routes, the Inexperienced beginner usually develops enough mountaineering Instinct to go out on his own over unmarked routes. Slo­ vene climbers with flve years of ex­ perience behind them, often tackle the Swiss Alps and the Dolomites with great success. Starko's chum is on his vyav to Zermatt to do the Matterhorn. A splendid feature of these paths is thaT they vary so. On some all you have to do Is to keep "picking 'em up and putting 'em down" while on others you have to proceed with great cau­ tion. On many places during our climb the wall dropped almost sheer for two thousand feet or so. Really dangerous places have been safeguard­ ed with artifleal footholds and wire grips, much the same as on the Matter­ horn. Along the various routes are hopices, fifty of them altogether, maintained by the club. Here you can get a clean bed for from ten to thirty cents a night. Meals are a bit more expensive than In lhe valleys but are reasonable accord­ ing to American standards. I usually paid forty cents for a meal consisting of soup, omelettes or veal cutlets, let­ tuce salad, milk and bread. If you want to travel in style you can spend about a 11.50 a day. otherwise a dollar will more than meet requirements, with a few non-essentials added. Along some of the routes you have to carry your own food and water as the hospices are ten hours or so apart. Al­ so, of course, one has to carry necessary I thing is to bring along an extra shirt, a change of underwear, a change of woolen socks, a pair of slippers and a cake of soap. Mountaineers don't bother about shaving as a rule. I । was foolish enough to bring along a , razor, but I didn't use It Somehow it , seems silly to waste time In scraping off whiskers when such breath-taking I sights are to be seen outside. A mounI talneer who shaves Is regarded in about I the same light as the man who Insists ‘ on rocking the boat. j Usually, during lhe early part of the ■ evening, the Slovene mountaineers sit around the table In tiie main room and I sip wine or beer. As they drink they j sing and sing most beautifully. I have paid good money to hear Hinging i I've enjoyed far leas than these Improm pt u songfeats Their songs are I not lively in the senM of ragtime or jazx. They are rather plaintive. In the minor key often, but have beautiful liquid contrasts between baritone and tenor. Ih many of the songs there are solo parts for the tenor and baritone, 1 the others joining in after the leader Often if tiie evening Is not too cold, the । singers gathrk about on tiie hillsides I and sing lo Jhe peaks, with lovely ef; feet. i We took the early morning train from 1 Ljubljana to Kamnick. ft was a slow train—plus. Kamnick Is only twenty miles away but we took more than an ' hour and a half to get there and lhe train didn't make many stops either. A bicyclist on the road pulled away from the train without much effort. I am told that during the Austrian con­ trol of Slovanla. bicyclists were not al­ lowed to do this. They were arrested on s charge of making fun of a public Institution. The train starts out slowly and you expect all the time it will pick up speed, but It never does. After a two-hour hike we reached Blstrica Hospice, one of the finest in the Kamnick Alps. It Is situated in a cool bit of wooded valley through which lhe clear watered Blstrica river dashes along. In fact the hospice is near the very source of the river, which at this stage Is little more than a lively mountain stream. Further down the Blstrica Is plentiful with speckled brook trout that make your mouth wa­ ter. Up here, however, the stream flows too rapidly for fishing. As we arrived at the hut the cook was taking freshly baked bread out of the oven. The loaves were enormous, being nearly two feet in diameter arui six Inches thick at the center. Some of the loaves were made of com flour and others of whole wheat. The bread Is delicious, especially the com bread, which tastes like unsweetened cake Even the odor of the hot loaves was sufficient to stretch my all ready over strained appetite past the elastic limit and I ordered dinner at once. I had some beef broth with rice, beefsteak, milk, an enormous bowl of lettuce with French dressing and bread, all tor fifty 'cents. All food has to be brought to the hut by porters. , In the afternoon we started for the Kamnlska hospice, located on a saddle, or little plateau, between the rock peaks of Bransna and Kamn. The route up­ ward is not difficult for there is a path all the way. but it takes three and onehalf hours of steady climbing to get there. We stopped at a shepherd's hut Just below the saddle for light refresh­ ments consisting of warm milk. V The three shepherds were all asleep and we had to wake them up. Ail three were sleeping in the same large bed. which was padded with straw. Ths door was opened a bit, but all windows dosed, consequently lhe Interior was stuffy. These shepherds, who work out in the mountain air in all kinds of weath­ er. seems to have a superstition that fresh air is harmful to a sleeper. About five minutes after leaving the hut we came to the base of the saddle. The top looked pleasantly near, and I thought we would be there In ten minutes. However after an hour of the most tiresome climbing I have ever done we were still ten minutes away from the hut. I was certainly glad when we at last dragged up the hospice steps and I deposited my pack on the floor. Kamnick waa in the throes of a sum. mer heat wave when we passed through, but up here the air was cool and a strong breeze was blowing. I put on my sweater and chamolx skin Jacket but still had to walk about briskly to get warm. During the night a regular gale swept by the peaks, and our little nut trembled as thbugh an earthquake had struck. We couldn't do a thing Tuesday be­ cause uf heavy clouds and high winds, so decided to remain at Kam- Feed Mixer We have added a feed mixer to our equip­ ment, and are prepared to grindpour grain, add whatever concentrates you wish to bug, run it all through our ntixer, and make gou a balanced food at a greatlg reduced price.

We took an hour to get up and about the same to return. Part of the path would have been quite troublesome except for the steel grips Imbedded in tiie rocks The view from the summit of Brana is quite as good as from lhe higher peaks. Ljubljana, thirty miles away, looked very near and we could sec lhe castle and the Pilgrimage church on the two hills about which it U'XUt. On the opposite side of lhe saddle we looked down Into a regular "lost valley." suz* rounded by mountains except for qad ; narrow pass. People who farm tirkt, J land must be practically isolated In wintertime. Wednesday morning we arose at four o'clock and as the weather looked promising, decided to start out. At breakfast we met a young fellow, a German, who was going our way. so the three of us made a party. Our path skirted the Brana and by a serpentine route led to the top ot Mt. Turska Gora, or Turkish Mount. The way up a-as Interesting: much of lhe climb being up the face of a cliff with here and there a bolt or a wire to help out In the really dangerous parts. After resting for a few minutes we descended the Turkish Gora, skirted a low peak and then climbed to lhe summit of Mt. Skuta, where we had dinner in a small hollow. The view from the top was splendid. Mt. Triglav and the Julian Alps about sixty milts away looked within easy hiking distance. To the north, the snow-capped summit of the Austrian Alps looked like clouds float­ ing above n .'hlmmering purple haze. Lunch was plain but substantial We had hot tea, whole wheat bread. Jam and bitter chocolate. We had to go easy with the water because there are no springs or water falls along the route we travelled. After an hour's rest we descended Skuta. skirted a cliff, and began the climb to Grintovic, the highest moun­ tain in the Kamnick Alps. The cliff formations along thia section of the route are particularly weird. One, I re­ call, looked for all the world like a gi­ gantic beetle standing on its head. In windy weather one littla part of’the route would be rather tricky, even with the artificial holds for you have to cross a narrow bridge, away from which the walls slope at a sharp angle for several hundred feet. The path is so narrow that a climber could hardly keep his balifhce In a stiff breeze. About all you could do in such a case would be to straddle lhe path and hunch along. This wouldn't be at all comfortable, because limestone projec­ tions are both hard and sharp. For the last few hundred feet up Grintovic Il's a matter of "picking 'em up and putting 'em down." You have to scramble over skree and limestone out-croppings. Clouds were beginning to roll up from the valleys as we reached the summit, consequently we rested here for only a few minutes. The path down was marked, but you have to be able to tee ahead for a hundred feet or ao in order to follow these marks; also wan­ WHAT I FOUND IN THE ATTIC. pital in Battle Creek and report him dering about among clouds Is not at all getting along fine and sble to be re­ plearant: you get cold and almost as Way up in the dim old attic. moved to his own home Sunday.

These activities have, been quite generally carried out In the cities and villages through the officers of such municipalities, fire chiefs and firemen, dvic societies, churches and schools, with telling effect, thus materially re­ ducing fire losses, even In the fact of changed conditions bringing about new and additional fire hazarda. Only in a tew isolated sections has there been any attention towards ex­ tending thia great work In the rural districts, where its need is far greater than in lhe areas having organised fire fighting apparatus, manned with ex­ perienced fire fighters and ample equip­ ment. » A request was recently made to Gov. F. W. Oreen, to incorporate In his Fire Prevention Week Proclamation, an ap­ peal to the rural pedple to take active part in this laudable undertaking, to which he expressed himself aa in full accord. It would be utterly impossible for thc farmers of this state to devote a week to this splendid movement, but it Is unanimously agreed that they could Rive al least a part of one day of that week towards the inspection of their property and making it safe, and that they would gladly take part In making the undertaking a success. Upon the suggestion incorporated in • he Governnor* Proclamation, a meet­ ing was held at the office of the State Fire Marshall, Lansing, at which was present Assistant Fire Marshal, Charles V. Lane; Webstar Pearce, Superintend­ ent of Public Instruction; James Slo­ cum, Publisher of Farm Fire Preven­ tion. Detroit; Milo A. White, Fremont, President of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies; Bert Wermuth. Editor of the Michigan Farmer. Detroit; and George A. MaDan. Secretary of the Michigan As­ sociation of Mutual Insurance Com­ panies. . The manner In which the work should be carried on in the rural dis­ tricts was discussed from every stand­ point and It pas mutually agreed that the undertaking would bring the beat results by being carried out as follows; Superintendent of Public Instruc­ tions.. Mr. Pearce, will place in the hands of every County School Superin­ tendent In Michigan. information covering every source of fire prevention on thc farm, which thc rural school teacher will rend to the pupils on Fri­ day. October llth, and with the chil­ dren visualize the various phases of preventing fires and what is best to do in case of fires, and the greater danger of fires as effecting the loss of life and property. It is expected that this ses­ sion of the school will be one of the thc most beneficial and instructive of the whole school year. It should create lasting impressions which will follow the growing minds through all their future years, causing them to quickly observe fire hazards and to see that they are removed. At lhe close of this session one pupil from each family represented will be handed an inspection report blank by the teacher, which will be used in the following manner, the following day, Saturday. October 12th, The parent* of the pupil, together with all of the children of the family, will read each section of the Inspec­ tion blank, and make a thorough ex­ amination of that part of the property indicated; for instance, the "CHIM­ NEY.” First look at the foundation of the chimney. Is it in good condition and not nettling? Are the brick open­ ings well lined with motor, with no loose brick*? The chimney should be all the way through thc building, in­ cluding thc attic and above the roof. Stovepijje* come* next, and so on down thc line of thc inspection blank. In every square, AFTER YOU HAVE MADE THE EXAMINATION, place an <X) in the apace provided for that pur­ pose. Don't mark (X) until each mc^ tion Is completed. The parent* and children are ex­ pected to Join together In making thi* inxpec'lon. Thc parent* should talP with the children while making this inspection, a* to making the property safe and nay how and when it will be done. The inspection will not be a success unless there is cooperation be­ tween the parents and thc children. Every parent can give the time neces- sary io make this inspection, Saturday, October 12th: The inspection blank will bo signed by the parent or parents, and the child who brought it horns, will take it back ta ths teacher. Monday. October 14th. Ths teacher will insist on the Inspection blank*, cosnpletad, being in tier hands not later than October ikh. at which time she will mail all Inspection Blanks handed in by her pUplte, to C. D. Liv­ ingston, State Fire Marshall. Lansing, where these reports will be counted and tabulated. Should any parents fall or decline to make inspection report* as requested, the teacher will report same to the State Fire Manhall. ' It will be observed that there are no requirement for reporting the condition of any farm propertv. All that te re­ quired te to make the inspection and state that It has been done. It te our belief that such inspections will natur­ ally bring out many unsafe conditions that the owner of the property prompt­ ly make safe against fire. This is the first educational inspec­ tion service every undertaken by any state to our knowledge, and we feel that farmers, assisted by their children. In working in unison along this line, will greatly lessen the great unnecessary destruction of farm buildings and per­ sonal property. We want every’ possible cooperation from teachers in the rural schools, their pupils and their parents and we expect it will be forthcoming. EABT WALL LAKE.

Total expenditures for telephone plant expansion in Michigan the past three years were $72,000,000, greatly increasing facilities and improving the service. This is a continuing program, for as business and social activities increase, demand for still greater telephone expansion develops. This plant expansion and improvement would be meaningless if it were not translated into terms of service and a desire to afford increasing telephone comfort, convenience and satisfaction, and to meet the growing needs of the state. continue to furnish the best possible telephone service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety” Our policy—“To DIRECTORS: lb. tack 94' Lily White 24 A IN 1926, thc Michigan Bell Telephone Company entered upon the largest expansion program in its history.

Land j a lifetime investment should buy a heating system only once. You may reasonably expect a lifetime of service from the modern Holland Vaporairc. There is nothing in its construction or principle of operation that will be obsolete in the years to come. Excess strength is built into every part of the Holland system. Orig­ inal Hollands installed 20 years ago are still in use. Holland Vaporaiic supplies the same type of moist, moving and humidifiedair that is used in modern schools,theatres, hospitals and public buildings. Your doctor will tell you that Holland Vaporaire is the right prin­ ciple and that the majority of colds in the wintertime come from the dry, stagnant air supplied by the ordinary heating system. In 'convenience,cleanliness and comfort Holland is unsurpassed. Holland burns any kind of fuel and saves between 10% and 30% of it. In buying a Holland you deal directly with the largest installers of home heating systems in the world. Comfort and complete satisfaction are guaranteed. Holland is the greatest dollar for dollar value on the market today costing much less per year of service than any other system you can buy. Prices are low and terms liberal. Let the factory-trained heating engi­ neer give you the facts — there is no obliga­ tion-call the Holland Factory Branch today. HOLLAND VAPOKALRE THE HOLLAND FURNACE CO., HOLLAND, MICHIGAb 711 E.

The festival Is much like an irdinnry church picnic at home, ex-epi that there Is a bit ot religious ceremony connected with it. But I no­ ticed the chief diversion seemed to be mating, which furnishes at least one factor in common between Dalmatian festivals and church picnics. During •.he processional I noticed two little boys who followed the white-robed nriest. carrying tapers. On the sly they made passes nt one another, winked, made faces—in fact they be­ haved just about as any two young heathen any place In the world would very likely have done. The men. loo, were noticeably more Interested In the barbecued lamb. wine, and bread than tn the significance of the religious ceremony they were performing. An Important part of the festival was the dance, and such a dance I have never, scan before—in fact 1 would hardly class it as a dance. The man strolls along holding his lady by the left hand while she does an ungraceful hopping step first on one foot and then on the other. She swings from right to left and back as she shifts from one foot to the other. On a warm day and In her heavy costume, this represents considerable exercise. But the gay gallant Just strolls about with an un­ concerned air as though his lady were, miles away Instead of clinging to his extended right hand. He stops to chat with friends, to drink a glass of wine, or munch a piece of bread; but all this time, the "girl friend" jpust keep hop­ ping from one foot to the other. In other words the girl docs moat of the work, even In dancing, which as Studln remarked is quite characteristic of Dal­ matia. To add Insult to injury, the ’young gallants often stroll along to­ gether and make running comment, not always favorable, about the merits or demerits of their partners. I could not understand these comments myself but from the translation I received typical comments which run something like this: "Oh Lord this is a terrible flat tire .I've got; she is tiring already." ■‘Look at this beanpole I've got"; "This partner of mine sure Is lazy^ she liasn't got a bit of pep, etc, etc?' All this while the partner in question keeps hopping about with a perfectly dumb expression on her face. After viewing the festival for a bit, Studln introduced me to his mother and father and the four of us went to a field nearby where a lamb was roost­ ing for our own picnic dinner. Mrs. Studln. the mother, is a sweet-faced white-haired lovely peasant lady with a surprising amount of life and energy. I regretted that we could not talk to­ gether. Studln however does not speak English and my French is far from flexible. She reminded me a bit of Grandmother Cook. During the pic­ nic she was quite concerned to see that everyone had enough to eat but not too much of the Dalmatian red wine to drink. She had a mannerism of nod­ ding and turning her head quickly as she talked and her laugh Is very mer- people are grateful for this gesture of friendship, which was rendered at a time when they greatly needed such •protection. People over here arc not well-to-do. A majority pf them have Just about enoughzo get along on. But they seem to enjoy life in a leisurely, simple sort of way. their chief recreation Is prom­ enading and talking for an hour or twd at a time, over some Inexpensive drink at an open air cafe. The drink seem? to be lust an excuse to take a place at a table. In the evening every one promenades in their best clothes. I am told they will do witlwut food In order to buy colorful dresses. Swimming Is also popular. Those who can afford it rent lockers at a choice bit ot beach; those who cannot pick their own bit of open beach and use boulders and trees for their bath houses. Young kids go In a la nature, and most ot the men and boys don't miss this state by much, us they wear only loin cloths made from thin-knitted material. Women wear all manner of suits ranging tn fashion from the skirted, long sleeved costumes of several dec­ ades ago to the flimsy Annette Keller­ man type. The men wjto go In con­ tinually are son burned to a chocolate, almost negroid color. At nearly every pier at which a boat stops you will see a swarm of little wharf rats ranging In age from seven to ten swimming or romping about on the pier entirely naked. When the boat pulls up an official tries to shoo them into the wa­ ter or out 'of sight; but they are just like a swarm of Insects and come back as soon as the official’s back Is-turned. It doesn't pay to be a hurry over here. Trying to gel anyone to hurry Is like tearing at a stone wall with your bare hands. Time Is plentiful and the only thing to do Is to wait. At the cafes and resturants you don't pay the man who serves you. but an Im­ portant and dignified Individual, who either has his beck turned or Is disap­ pearing around a comer whenever you wish to settle a bill. You ask for the accountant and the waiter gives you an understanding nod thal seems to prom­ ise immediate action, but which really signifies nothing. You wall for a bit longer. By this time probably even the waiter has disappeared. Finally you catch a glimpse of the accountant and yell to him. The chances are he doesn't hear but walks to some distant table to take care of a more fortunate In­ dividual than yourself. Finally when you are on the verge of picking up a chair and heaving It through the win­ dow to gain attention he ambles over in your direction, and after a-lew de­ lays en route, he arrives.

Dick, PART TWO . । j FINE CROPS PRODUCED BY STATE NUT TREES Contest Brings Out Samples Equal in Quality to Any Previously Known East Lansing. Oct. 7—Samples of hickory nuts and walnuts already en­ tered in the prize contest conducted by Michigan State College prove that Michigan trees bear crops equal In quality to any previously found In America, according to statements by members of the College, horticultural department. The men in charge of -the contest say that there is still opportunity for prize winning entries before the dose of the contest. November 15 Prize winners will be announced at the State Horticultural Show held at the Col­ lege at that time. First and second prizes of 25 and 10 dollars are offered for both hickory nuts and walnuts, and a special prize of a set of horticultural reference books Is offered to the Smith-Hughes high school whose pupils send In the best collectlon|of Michigan nuts. Each ergry submitted for prizes must be accompanied with directions for lo­ cating the tree which bore the nuts. The College department Is attempting to locate especially desirable trees which can be used to develop commercial plantings. Walnut trees come Into bearing In from five to ten years depending on the soil and other conditions. Hickories are slower In reaching bearing age but probably will bear profitable crops In from 10 to 15 years. ■ A large acreage which Is not adapted to general farming can be used profit­ ably for nut culture In Michigan.

East Lansing. Oct. 7.—While the farm population In Michigan lias been de-> creasing, the Interest of fanners In learning new angles of their business j has Increased, according to class rec-' ords in the short course office at Mich-1 Igan State College. The first short courses, three in num-1 ber, were given In 1897. Forty-five stu-1 -dents enrolled in those courses. Last year 19 short courses were given a^ Michigan State and 4$5 students en-; rolled. Many of these courses last only one) week and are designed as a clearing i house ot new information about a par­ ticular subject. Most of the students can spare only a short time from their; business and the short courses meet their needs. The longest of these courses Is the two year general agricultural course ot 10 weeks. Fifty-one men look this course last year. Five courses are given in dairy sub­ jects, five courses in horticultural sub­ Jrcts. and one each In poultry, agri­ cultural engineering, home economics. bee keeping, seed production, farm management, and veterinary medicine. The 10 week course in general agri­ culture begins October 28. All others are held in January, February, or Marcli. concealed to the house or bams.

Thc funeral wav held ( from the home Wednesday afternoon and the body waa taken to Waupun. Wto., for burial. Miss Heideman had many friends here who will miss her smiling face and kindly ways, but we feel our loss is her eternal gain. Lowell Reed v<ho formerly lived at pital Thursday.’ Mr. Reed was a good neighbor and friend and all regret vary much his sudden passing. Many of hto old neighbors and friends attend­ ed his funeral In Hastings Sunday. Wm. F. Patten of Hastings passed away at his home there Sunday mom­ lng. For many years Mr. Patten and hto family lived among us and he was always ready to do a neighborly kind­ ness and was universally respected by all. The funeral will be held from the Martin church Tuesday afternoon ond Interment will be made in Sponable cembtery. Our neighbor at Stony Point Rev. John Hazeldine passed away at his home Sunday morning after a lingering illness from cancers. He has fought the good fight, finished his course and kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness. Our sympathy goes out to all these bereaved ones in different families.

Michigan registers 88% increase in Eights At proofof the tremendous growth in pub­ lic preference for eight-cylinder cars, reg­ istration figures in this State for the first seven months of 1929 tell their own story. Eights above $1000 showed an increase of 88 per cent while sixes in the same price field decreased 17 per cent. The tendency is the same the nation over. In 43 states/ Eights above $1000 increased 94 per cent. Sixes declined 18 per cent. Nobody can doubt the evidence. We are passing into an eight-cylinder era. Already, all of the finest American cars are Eights. In fact, 41 per cent of all makes are Eights, and the number is constantly' increasing. Spurred on by an Eight-minded publi^, Studebaker set out two years ago to build a high-quality Eight that could be sold at moderite six-cylinder cost. Studebaker today leads thc world in the manufac- ' ture of Eights—Eights that are champions—holders of 11 world records for speed and endurance and more American stock car records than all other makes combined — Eights which are remarkably economical—smooth, flexible, brilliant. Before investing in your new car, drive a smart new Studebaker Eight—President, Commander or Dictator. Bear in mind that Studebaker’s 77 years of manufacturing integrity stand back of every one of these cars. And remember, too, that your new car will be worth more a year from now—if it’s an Eightl BARRYVILLE. The L. A. 6. will meet at the home of M/. and Mra. Hal Latlirop for dinner Friday, Oct. 11.

He said the sub­ ject ot Bolls and Fertilizers had been assigned him. He spoke of soli composition, what is necessary for plant growth and gave many practical suggestions on the dif­ ferent kinds of fertilizers needed and which to use for the different soils, and told which to apply in spring and which to use in the fall. Said great care should be taken in the amounts applied. Test your soil. Ask your county agent what you need. Tell your dealer what you want- the fer­ tilizer for, lawn, garden or potted plants, so that he will give you the correct formulas. Mr. Post understood his subject, an­ swered questions and really gave a very helpful lesson in the necessary founda­ tion for successful gardening. Before closing, Mrs. Burton said at the November meeting of this depart­ ment, Mrs. Edith Munger would be with us to talk about birds. There was a general expression of Interest at this meeting and a fine ap­ preciation of the speaker's efforts and so ended a very worthwhile afternoon. got an idea he could argue religion with a Mormon, which reminds us we're due to be at the Methodist church in this village next Sunday when the only son-in-law in the family is on the morning service for a couple of hymns.

' In dairy sections of the country noth­ ing docs more to Improve the herds than the organizing of cow testing as­ sociations. k Cows differ widely in their productive ability and the only accurate measure of a cow's production to obtained by weighing and testing her milk. The most practical method to found in the co-operative cow testing association, sifice it furnishes a cheap, accurate method of testing. The cow testing association puts dairy operations on a business basis. Thc profit and loss account enables us to cull out Die unprofitable cows. The yearly records will indicate the high producers from which the calves should be saved to build up the herd. Thc official tester 1s arf expert on dairy subjects. Hto advice to ours for the asking. It will help us. His assistance will enable us to in­ troduce the most economical methods of feeding and tiw most up-to-date methods of handling our herd. We can co-operate through the or­ ganization in thc purchase of feed, ini developing a better market for products, and in holding dairy meetings. Co-opcration fosters a better community spirit1 among the dairymen and breeders. The cow-testing association to the cheapest and best way to keep records of the dairy herd. According to the Department of Ag­ riculture there were 627 co-operative cow-testing associations in this country in 1923. Inasmuch as the first of these associations in America was formed In Michigan, in 1905, this seems like a rapid glfawih until we consider the fact that in Europe there were at that lime nearly 3.000 such associations. The average dairy cow of this country produces something like 4.000 pounds of milk in a year and approximately 160 pounds of butterfat. This to not profitable dairying according to the best authorities. Yet farmers can not great­ ly increase dairy production unless they apply the scales and Babcock test to their individual cows and find, out which cows pay for their feed and which do not The co-operative cow­ testing association enables all the dairy farmers of - a community to test all their cows. With an average of 25 members the cost of such an association usually amounts to from *1 to >1.50 per cow per year. What are the results from conducting a cow-testing association? To quote from the government report. “Seven herds In Michigan, have remained con­ tinuously in the Michigan association since it was formed in 1905. In 1913 the average yield per cow was 6.123.4 pounds of milk and 284.7 pounds of fat. The profit from each cow was *22.23 in 1906 in 1913 the profit per cow was *51.08. or an increase of *28.85 per cow " Improvement in dairy production; necessitates an Improvement in the:, dairyman ns well os improvement in’ , the cow. and improvement in the dairy j ' methods.

Ten years later the testing xssociatlon with some modifications was] introduced into the United States. The growth of the movement in this country has been rapid.

The big aircraft gun can also be transported and when aircraft was sighted at a greater height It could be dismounted, set up on thc ground, levelled up and ready to fire in seven and one-half minutes. This large anti­ aircraft gun fires several shots n min­ ute with unerring accuracy, effective at a height of four miles. It has the same electrical range-finder and control as the smaller guns. When C. 8. Pot la and F. W. Stebbins were in Boston recently on their east­ ern trip, they visited Major Barnes, who took them through the big Water­ town arsenal. Among other things this arsenal completes each year one big defense gun. which is mounted some­ where along our sea coast. It has an effective range of 35 miles—that is if a ship can be sighted with a telescope at a distance of 35 miles, the range finders on this gun will enable the gunner to let loose a terrific charge throwing a shell a distance of 35 miles with absolute accuracy. These guns arc all tested before they are set up. so there is no guess work ns to what they will do.

The i fantastic outline of the Kamnick Alps loomed up like an ominous thunder cloud. We couldn't bear the final thud of a dislodged stone. But our goal was the fiat top of a rock tower that seemed impossible to climb. Btarko started up a precipitous chimney and the slowness with which he climbed indicated difficult footing ahead. Both of us were a bit relieved to hear the reassuring “all right" when he reached the top. Even with thc rope, the going was a bit slow. On top we seemed to be isolated on a plate of rock suspended in mid-air. In front we could see nothing but the Vratra Valley far below. To the left and right we could see only the tree tops of the forest along the mountain slope. In back we could see the remaining hit of the north wall and the Triglav glacier. I began to wonder how nn earth we were ever going to get down but the problem rfas really quite simple. I was attached to the rope and lowered to a ledge of rock about 25 feet below thg bock of the tower. I must say the Idea didn't arouse my enthusiasm at first. The rope seemed very delicate and Insufficient as Btarko and Bretsel began to lower away. I clung onto the rock as much as possible, but it sud­ denly curved Inward and I began to swing pendulum like from one side of the narrow ledge to the other. On one side of the ledge I could see the bot­ tom of the cleft formed by the water fall 300 feet below; on the other tree-tops so far down that they looked like tiny scrubs. The little ledge felt very reassuring when I came to rest on it. Bretsel and Btarko anchored thc rope about u rock and came down hand | over hand. After they were' down. Bretsel shook the rope free from the ' rock and so recovered it for further u«e. Rock climbers usually carry a few ‘clamps or heavy spikes with them in ' case there should be no rock handy to 'secure the rope. But such climbing looks more dangerous than it really is. i In fact the only dangerous port of our I trip come as we were making our way ; up the rock cliffs to the right of the glacier. We couldn't use the rone and I a slip would have meant a tumble down the entire 3500 or 4000 feet of the I north wall. We had to work our way ; along slowly and carefully. After the rock tower we had an easy scramble to the glacier. Here we ’changed back into our hobnail boots and began the most tiresome pert of the whole trip. Making progress up the i glacier was like trying to make progress ion a treadmill. The surface was 'softened by the sun and we slipped | Lack almost as much ns we went for­ ward.

We hope, therefore, the farmers of this state and county will plan to in­ crease their acreage of sugar beets. We believe they will And it profitable to Increase rather than to cut down. Cer­ tainly they need not blame the sugar factories for this year's small results from sugar beet*, for none of the fac­ tories have made money In recent years, because none of them could run to capacity, the output being just about half what it should be.

I could take a few more scrambles among the safe­ guarded paths, but after a real open rock climb up such places as the North •Wall and the Martuljck, the safe­ guarded paths are without any attrac­ tion at all. I surely have had a most wonderful time here in Slovanla. Starko Mercinger gave me n few introductions, which I followed up. and they have laal to more. As a result I have met all kinds of people here, lawyers, doctors, teachers, newspaper men. students, mountaineers and others.

The entire passage seemed a remarkably smooth one to me. and many times I lost Die thought entirely that I was on the ocean, and at night the alight motion of lhe berth due to the waves and throbbing engine was more cdhduclve to sleep than a bed on land. The sec­ ond and third day out we followed the gulf stream and it had rather an ener­ vating effect on moat of us. We often felt overcome for sleep tn the middle of the forenoon, again In the afternoon and this Interfered not at all with our regular hours of sleep. Some one should have a sort of floating hotel boat cruising around these waters in­ definitely for people suffering with insomnlji. GKeofthe first things a seasoned traveller does once aboard ship Is to I arrange for the bath hour, which covers all hours of the day as personal pref­ erence dictates. Celestla saw to this and I chose a fairly early hour as I wanted to be "up and betimes" like our old friend Pepy'a and not miss any­ thing. Bo my day began at 7:30 with a knock on the stateroom door arid a voice with a decided foreign accent an­ nounced—"Your bawth is ready, ma­ dame." I grew to enjoy this feature very much. The clean tub full of hot salt water, aqua marine in color, with plenty of towels and a shower with soft water connected, for while salt water has a sort of tonic effect, it doesn't cleanse to any great degree; your reg­ ular bathroom soap makes no more lath­ er than would a piece of wood. Even the salt water soap furnished gave feeble results. But it was good exercise to begin the day wltk and gave a lux­ urious feeling to have all this prepared for one and without the customary procedure of having to leave the tub immaculate for the next member of the family. "Passengers are respectfully re­ quested to take only twenty minutes for their bath and to pull the^piiig when finished.” Those were the only restric­ tions. Dressing, a brisk walk about deck for a few minutes, then breakfast was my usual program. I was one of thc few women passengers in sight in the dining salon as a rule, but I saw porpoises at play, and schools of flying We Have Added a Line of Crockery To Our Stock! 2- Gallon Crock*............................. 3.0c 3- GalIon Crocks............................. 45c 6-Gallon Crocks............................. 90c 10-Gallon Crocks......................... $1.80 12-Gallon Crocks . ....................... $2.15 15-Gallon Crocks..................... $3.00 Rabbit Feeders.................................. 15c Rabbit Waterers................................ 15c Gallon Jugs....................................... 18c Goodyear Bros.

As we pointed out last week, the pros­ ecuting attorney has found it impos­ sible to proceed against any dog own­ ers because of lack of evidence: and this lack of evidence Is due to the fail­ ure of Justices of the peace to do what the law plainly directs when they are called upon to view damages to live stock caused by dogs. The law gives Justices authority, in. fact from its wording assumes that they will hold hearings at the time they view the damages and get the evidence showing the ownership of the dogs where that Is possible. The law contemplates that they shall write up their proceedings at the time they view the damages In­ cluding In their report a statement of the evidence, naming the witnesses who know about the damage caused and about the ownership of the dogs that caused the damages. When that is done, which Is the first step In the execution of the law so far as prosecuting a dog owner is con­ cerned. the next step will be compara­ tively easy. That step is for the prose­ cuting attorney to begin proceedings against the dog owner, compelling him to pay the damage which his dog has declined 525 'CESn-'Q°v-BREEN <h5v-<<XUu.,’b?i»So5.

Kanu and Anna McPharlin were callers in the afternoon. We Would Say It Is Up to the VOTED TO CONTINUE Tar Products Company to Make It Right CO. EXTENSION WORK Several people of Hastings have driven over West State as well as the Tarmac blocks elsewhere in this city, with a view of noticing If these strips of highway had been made at al! comparable with the mile of Tarmac paving immediately north of the city, on Broadway. So far os we can learn, the general verdict Is that while there Is a little improvement It lacks a good deal of being anywhere near as satis­ factory as the mile to which we have referred or to the stretch In the vicinity of Gull lake that was put in for the county. We do not know what the council will do about this, but if any individual had as unsatisfactory work done, we are sure he would not pay for It until It was made satisfactory. The trouble, we think, is due to the fact that it was not applied right in the first attempt Tar was poured onto the streets before the pea gravel could be applied with it In most instances, due to the hot weather, the tar ran down into the gutters at the side of the streets and Into the catch basins of the storm sewers. It left the roads In a bad. lumpy, bumpy condition. When the representative of the Tar­ mac company came to repair fl—and he fixed it Just as he wanted to. for no one Interfered with him. instead of scraping all the material out of the streets and beginning all over again, he put on more tar and scraped the gravel into it from the sides of the street. While there are somewhat few­ er bumps in the roadway, there Is no comparison whatever with the mile north of the city. We have not lost our faith in Tar­ mac as a roadmaking material because the agent of the company which makes Tarmac has failed to apply the mate­ rial in a proper manner. We would like to see some streets selected and an effort made to apply this material just as was done on the Broadway road north of the city. If we could have streets in Hastings ns good as that highway—and there Is no reason what­ ever that we could not—then we ore sure Hastings folks would be satisfied with Tarmac. It would end the yearly expense for chloride on the streets, would make a far easier road to drive over and a far better highway In every respect. We vvv think vuui* the mv ■representative ........ I of the company messed the business -<»*•» right In his first oHmnm attempt to nnniv apply Tar. TarI mac in Hastings. M a belter job cannot be done than has been done so far on the four streets where it was applied Supervisors Took This Action Last Week Which Is Very Commendable By vote of 14 to fl the board of super­ visors on Wednesday decided to con­ tinue the raising of one-fourth of a mill tax for the promotion of exten­ sion work in this county. Toward sueh work the state contribute* liberally as does also the national government As Dean Davenport forcibly stated in a recent communication to the Ban­ ner. while tiie first year after exten­ sion work is dropped In a county one is not able to sec so great a difference; but where it is dropped for a series of years the difference between the coun­ ties that have extension work and those that do not becomes very noticeable. This one-fourth of one per cent will bring in somewhere about *5.600 or. just a little more than the people of Barry county pay for the privilege of keeping dogs I We think that if any­ one will compare the results that are derived by keeping in touch with ex­ tension work as brought to the county through the county agent and tha county club director co-operating with the State College and the national de­ partment of agriculture, he would be or it seems to us he should be, willing to admit the benefits arc considerable, enough to fully warrant the expendi­ ture. Without question the farming indus­ try of tills county Is beginning a re­ organization. Just as merchandising is doing, and Just as manufacturing in­ stitutions have largely done. It U im­ passible to caiYy on farming and not know the game. Scientific agriculture is here. The farmer who shuts his eyes to that fact is hurting himself. Just where the individual farmer may come out in thia Industry when it is rc-organlzed no one can predict at tills time; but we believe farming will come out as re-organizations have in other lines—tiie general good will be pro­ moted. It will not prevent the rc-organizing of the farming industry of the county if farmers of the county should all decide to keep step with the re-organlZAtlon process. But those who do keep step will fare better when the re­ organization occurs, whatever its nature. When one stope to think of it, it seems ridiculous that so many useless dogs are kept in a county like Barry. Mrs. George Clary has sufficiently If all the licenses are paid and all dog recovered from her recent operation so owners put on the roll. It Is believed that she has been removed to the home that the receipts from the dog tax at her daughter. Mrs. Glen Ingram, would exceed *6.000; as it Is. there is south of the dty. just a little over 14.000. Just consider Word received from Mrs. Charles for a minute paying *4.000 or *5,000 for Allen of Los Angeles, Calif., says that the privilege of keeping 2.000 dogs; Mr. Allen Is very low. with no hopes of then think of all the dogs cat and the his recovery.

Have Your Eyes Examined and Scientifically (dalton ARTHUR RICH Let It Be Known That He Has No Idea of Reducing His Life Term Sentence Renders of the Banner will remember the conviction of Arthur C. Rich, son of a wealthy Battle Creek* manufac­ turer. and his sentence to the state prison for life for a brutal assault up­ on a young lady student in Battle Creek College several years ago. Efforts have been made since that time by the wealthy father and by wealthy friends of the father to have young Rich pardoned or paroled. Each time Governor Green has turned down the proposition. The father has dis­ posed of most of his manufacturing in­ terests and is about to move to Cali­ fornia. He made a final effort to have Governor Green pardon his son very recently, but the Governor let it be known without equivocation that he has no idea of tuning a pardon at any time for this young man. We believe his stand on that matter will be ap­ proved. It was a beastly crime, com­ mitted by a young man who had had every opportunity to become a worthy citUen. Instead he became addicted to liquor, was frequently intoxicated, sc It Is claimed, and did things which that type of n son of a wealthy father might be expected to do. When he was finally brought to book and convicted of the crime, it seemed fitting that a life sen­ tence should be Imposed upon him. as it was. There is no reason why he should be let out and other young rake, who have not wealthy fathers kept in prison. We are glad for the sake of the influence of it that the Governor took the stand he did. There has been much pressure brought to bear on the Governor to par­ don young Rich, but he has stood squarely against taking any such ac­ tion. It is a hard place to put a Oovnor in when a father pleads as this father did for his wayward son. But the governor thought of the matter from the standpoint of respect for law and the public Interest. OBITUARY’. Harold A. McIntyre was bom in Mil­ waukee. Wisconsin.

The state will undoubtedly require the city to do some repair work, particularly on West Green street, m soon as the fund shall have accumulated to take care of that expense. Hence the council is keeping, this fund by itself, so That when the' stale requires the work to be done tiie money will be ready to pay for it. | I The city already has 14,000 with an accumulation of something over >100, interest in a fund that was laid aside for a new boiler for the waler works station. Instead of a new boiler the city may pul in an electrical equip-1 ment for the pumping station. It that shall be done the *4.000 will go quite a long way towards paying for it. so the city would not need lo Issue any bonds.; Investigations made by the council in­ dicate that a considerable saving could be made by using electricity for power at the pumping station, especially if we put in a water tower. Next May the last of the school bonds for the new High school building will be retired and the city will be practically out of debt The school board by that time will have well to­ wards *30.000 accumulated In a 5pe­ els! fund for a new grade and Junior, high building. By resolution passed at the lost annual school meeting in July,1 the voters will be asked lo decide al that time whether they prefer to bor-j row tiie needed money for such a build­ ing. and have it now when it is need-1 cd. -or allow the fund to accumulate at the rate of about *16.500 per year, which would mean a delay of a year before completing the Junior high building, and of four years for the grade rooms building, and seven or eight ye«| for the assembly room and gym builSng.

Banks pay a* high a* tight to 10 per cent bn savings deposits, and business loans arc made at rates ranging from 15 to 20 per cent But even at that the situ­ ation seem* to be improving because Immediately after thc war saving de­ posits brought 15 per cent Interest, and the rate on business loans ran a* high •ven higher. Railway communications are Inade­ quate and slow. Between Zagreb and Belgrade the train service is first rate, but thl* is the only exception. Railway extension will be difficult because of the mountainous country and lack of fi­ nancial resources. Mountain railways ore of course the most expensive to build—an unfortunate thing for a country -that is money-poor. The mountains of Jugo-Blavla are rich in minerals, and the valleys splendid for agriculture, but the country lacks a network of ways of communication to profit by these natural resources. Jugo­ slavia has to import certain products that >ihe has in abundance, because she has no money to develop her re­ sources. Agricultural methods In Jugo-Blavla are antiquated too. Farmer* live In villages and their land may be several miles away. Not only that but their var­ ious fields may be quite widely separated That is. a farmer who owns 20 acres for example, may have his small hold­ ing in four five-acre tracts, separated from one another by as much as four or five miles. Needless lo say, efficient agri­ culture under such conditions is im­ possible. However, every farmer takes an immense persona) pride in his hold­ ing. and looks with suspicion on any attempt to alter the present system. Scientific agriculture is not known. There are schools of agriculture, but after the son has finished thc course and returns to the old homestead, he finds almost insurmountable opposi­ tion if he wishes to put into practice anything he has learned. Jugo-SlaVlc has wonderful soil and climate for fruit growing, but farmers evidently know nothing about spraying and car­ ing for the trees. You will find de­ licious looking apples, pears, plums, etc., on tiie market, but you soon learn to bite into lhe fruit with caution, because of worms. Out of a dozen apples you buy. nine are likely to have big. Juicy, prosperous, untroubled-looking worms crawling about on the inside. Ill never forget the size of one that hopped out of a beautiful looking pear that I cut in two. I was glad the thing didn't have teeth. Farm machinery h used scarcely at all in Blovenla. nor did I see any In the ports of Croatia and Dalmatia I visited. Fields are plowed with oxen and thc grain reaped by hand. I believe this method of cultivation Is one reason why Slovenian farmers do not get as large yields as they should, because.the antiquated wooden plows do not turn a deep furrow. Also the peasants have no knowledge of soil treatment with fertilizer, and as a result tiie ground is less fertile than it should be. Several people working from sunrise until sundown are required to do thc same amount of reaping that could be done in a few hours by one man with an or­ dinary machine. If Jugo-Blavla ever develops her agricultural resource fullyAshe will not have to depend much upon imports for any food products, and may even have a good margin for export. Up until very recently, legal proced­ ure In Jugo-Slovia has been very complicated. When the three provinces combined. King Alexander very wisely let each continue under the old laws, rather than to force Serbian laws on an unwilling people. He appointed a Com­ mission to study ttee laws of each prov­ ince. and from them to select the best parts of each, to be molded into a common law for all. Civil law Is now the same for the entire country, but criminal procedure Is different in each province. By the first of the year, how­ ever. a uniform criminal code will be in force. Students of law in Jugo­ slavia certainly have a difficult prob­ lem to deal with, aa they have to be familiar with Serbian, Croatian, Slo­ venian, Austrian and Italian proced­ ures. During my lost week In Ljubljana I met a young Slovene, who in addition to a travel bureau, is interested in several publishing enterprises. From him I learned some of the difficulties of trying to circulate printed matter in Jugo-Slavia, First if a book Is to be sold throughout the country. It must be printed In two different alphabets, and possible three different languages. The Serbs have a sentimental pride In their peculiar alphabet, derived from the Greek. Consequently publisher* have difficulty In marketing a book, printed with Roman characters In Serbia. The well educated Slovene and Croate can read one another's language with little difficulty, but for general circulation a book must be printed in a different language for each of these provinces. This complicated state of affairs is the reason there is not. and cannot be, large national newspapers in Jugo­ slavia, such as the London Times, the Christian Science Monitor, the New York Times, and other*. No single large paper could stand the expense of printing the same news in three differ­ ent languages. Large-edltlon printing is Impossible in Jugo-Slavla. Believe I wrote you in my last let­ ter, the sad event that prohibited fur­ ther mountain trip*, planned for my last 10 days In Blovenla. Btarko, Bretsel. Preylutz and Brandt were very clow friends. You never thought of one without mentioning the others.

Btarko and Brandt headed the rescue work. Then, scarcely more than a month later.

We stopped before a huge monolith In the square. with Na­ poleon's figure atop, on which * French Inscription tn which I recog­ nised two words "Cherbourg'' and "F Egypt.** I jumped at the conclusion that Napoleon probably started from here on his Egyptian campaign, but Celestia informed me that It quoted a sentence he had used comparing Cher­ bourg's feat in building their rrfammoth breakwater—30 feet high and 30 feet Mamie would ring the bell upon the handlebars to warn traffic on State Street some wit was likely to remark, “sounds like an engage­ ment ring, Cg." Egyptian pyramids. So much tor my French history. A continental train waa another new experience—"Compartments" had never been quite clear to ma—now they are. A long corridor or aisle runs along one side of the train and off it are com­ partments consisting of two uphol­ stered benches (at least second class ones are), facing each other and hold­ ing four people on each side If neces­ sary. Spacfdu* rack room overhead al­ lows for much baggage. Big windows easily raised and lowered, photographic scenes of various places in France and a neat, embroidered headrest along the back of the seats, made quite an at­ tractive car I thought. One sees just as well on the other side as the compart­ ment is glassed in from lhe vestibule and big windows run the whole length of the aisle. I certainly rejoiced every mile of the way over seeing rural France by day light Everything was so different and foreign to American landscapes. The road runs through Normandy most of the way to Paris—and the farm homes, chateaus and buildings were all a new type of architecture to me. Thc farms, with picturesque stone houses, looked centuries old; chateaus of stone and brick, smooth, hard roads winding in all directions, with now and then a quaint old inn near the tracks; interesting looking towns with cathe­ dral spires and Norman architecture kept my head bobbing. Much of the first part of the trip ran through a fer­ tile valley with flat, marshy fields ex­ tending os far as lhe eye could aee. where literally thousands of big brown and white Normandy cows were graz­ ing. I never saw so many cattle in my life, good looking ones too. and fat. plump horses beside. Milk, cheese and butter go from this section to Paris. London and all parts ot the country. I see "Normandy boeut" quite often on our French menus. Famous names ttiown to William tlw Conquerer and his followers were noted on the depots and buildings of some of the towns we passed through or stopped at—Bayeux. with a handsome Gothic towered cathedra) and its world fnmed tapestries made by Matilda, wife of William; Caen; Llseaux with ariother lovely cathedra] tower; Evaeux and Caen a large city, where we made our first stop of any moment The land­ scape was fresh and lovely In all di­ rections and not marred with ugly, glaring signs that detract so much from our American landscape in many At Caen our compartment, which we had possessed all to ourselves, was in­ vaded by two French women, who took leave of relatives with much kissing on both cheeks and many exclamations. Then the younger woman said in Eng­ lish with an accent: "You are Ameri­ can ladles aren't you?" And we were entertained all the way Into Paris with her conversation. She was one of the French girls. It seems, who went back to American after the war as the bride of one of our soldiers. Her husband is now superintendent of a copper mine near Salt Lake City and Is the "apple of her eye” evidently. She carried his picture and told us ail his history. Sh" loved her adopted country and had only re­ turned on her aged mother's account. She was counting the hours when she could get home again to "Jack" and the Cadillac she had learned to drive. As we drew near to Paris, lhe Seine came in sight; then the Eiffel tower In thc distance showed we were getting quite near. Gere St. Las* re at last! And the train stopped. We hung out the windows for porters, and after what seemed a long wait, for the train was a long one and packed, we secured two. Quite a distance from the gates I thought I dectected a tall, familiar­ looking figure in the big crowd sta­ tioned around them, and discovered my son before he did me. Finally my Chautauqua salute caught his eye. and his face beamed as well as mine Memory doesn't serve well here, but somehow we were piloted to a taxinil our all uui baggage imkkwic shoved a<iu»cu on un top roll hiiu and in111side, and we were whirled away through crowded streets. and the most spacious squares my eyes had ever looked upon; and famous buildings and columns that Richard and Celestla kept calling to my attention, and finally drew up in front of the little Hotel d'Alsace, in the narrow quaint little street. Rue de Beaux-Arts on the south side of thc Seine.* right across from the Louvre, which was to be our homo in Paris for the next three months. And so I am here at lost in these letters and won­ tiering how I'm ever going to stop and find the time to tell you all about what’s happened since. Till then, good­ bye and greetings to you all. ’ Sadie R.

Vcrdier of Orand Rapids. If they were more plentiful in this cduntry. there would be far less crime, because criminals would be behind the bars, where they belong, rather than roving around thc country and preying on orderly, law­ abiding people. For some time our neighboring city of Grand Rpalds lias been infested with gangs of hold-up men. usually young fellows, who In some manner evidently conceived that the way to wealth was by thc “hold-up" route. One of the late ones to come to grief was Edwin J. Evans, a former carpen­ ter. private patrolman and chauffeur. He was found guilty ot anned robbery, and sentenced by Judge Vcrdier to 70 to 80 years at hard labor In the state prison at Marquette. Perhaps the latest one In the Furni-^ tun? City to form the idea that he could rob right and left, and get by with It. was Clyde Fuller. 22 years old. Dress­ ing tip in a Tuxedo coat and patent leather shoes for each robbery, he seemed to enjoy the notoriety that he achieved as the "Tuxedo Kid." F6r a time he had tile police baffled, and per- • haps felt he was smarter than all the] rest of the people. But the end came| after eight or ten hold-ups that net-; ted him around 8800. But as is invar­ iably thc case, he was caught, taken before Judge Vcrdicr. and sentenced to 60 to 70 years at hard labor in Mar­ quette. His plunder would net him a little over 310 a year for every year that he will serve in prison—providing that he lives to serve his time. A sen­ tence of this kind too. does away with any possibility of pardon or parole. Sentences of this kind for those who follow Ilves of crime are to be most highly coinmended. Saying nothing ot adding to the safety of law-abiding (wople. such sentences too should be a very decided factor In showing that lives of crime do not pay. Again we say more power to such judges as Judge. Verdler. Prairieville—State tax. 85550.61; county Covert road tax. 84.897.97; counly road tax. 81478.41; county tax. 85.360.95.

From the Tomb a Doleful Sound. Late Candidate for Vice-President Makes Himself Ridiculous To refresh the memory of our read­ ers we will explain that Senator Rob­ inson of Arkansas was the democratic candidate for Vice-President In the campaign a year ago. Then the sena­ tor went up and down the country pleading for votes and expressing his confidence In his party's candidate fer President and Vice-President. The voters of the United States responded by burying both candidates on thc democratic ticket under the most sweeping adverse majority ever piled up In this country. You would naturally think that a man who had a part In such a disas­ trous campaign would be a little mod­ est when he emerged from the mauso­ leum. Not so. Senator Robinson I He bobs up smiling and confident. In the daily press of Thursday there appeared an Interview which the late democratic candidate for Vice-Presi­ dent himself probably solicited, in this Interview he berates the President and Secretary of the Treasury. Andrew Mellon, charging them with. responsi­ bility for the speculators' panic which ruled Wall Street for several days pre­ ceding that date. He declares that the President and Mr. Mellon did nothing to prevent that catastrophe. Now. had the President and Secretary Mellon at­ tempted to stem the tide and relieve the speculators from the consequences of their own folly, no one would have more vociferously criticised them than ybuSawi inhuying WRONG SPRAYS WASTE DOLLARS IN ORCHARD Proper Use of Materials Sub­ this same Senator Robinson.

LYBARKER Michigan State College because ewes j can Usually be obtained at a lower price during those months and the i buyer also has a large number of ewes from which to make his selection. The purchase of ewes from breeders who live near the buyer Is also ad­ vised. If the buyer sees the animals before they become his property, many misunderstandings can be avoided. The buyer can also examine the conditions under which the ani­ mals have been kept and can judge whether the flock is apt to be free from parasites. Western ewes can often be purchased more cheaply than native stock. These animals are not native to Michigan and the buyer Is unable to see them be­ fore he receives them on his farm. Two three-year-old ewes are most desirable. They are proved breeders and their owner may expert leas trouble at lamljlni time. The animal i should be healthy and should carry a good udder. A firm dense fleece at­ tached to a ptnk skin Indicates good condition. Good breed type and an absence of coarseness In body conformation are othir pointe which should be noted be­ fore the ewe Is bought. | Y. M. C. A. ITEMS AMERICA WAS NAMED AFTER THIS MAN.

It was felt that that spelled the doom of, the com crop in Michigan. There was much alarm over It through­ out the entire middle west—especially In the corn belt states of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas. Oklahoma, and Nebraska, where corn figures so prominently In farm operations. We can all remember when Barry county was quarantined because corn borers were discovered in this county, and it was true of two dozen other counties in this state. It has been feared that very serious results would follow, just as had been true in cer­ tain sections of Canada, where this pest had practically put an end to com growing. . ■ But It appears that the study of the corn borer and its ravages have led to the discovery of means of reducing Its destructive work to thc lowest terms.

Then in some way, Just as soon aa I had Utts definite Idea in mind, I found that It part of my income but I got a big kick out of IL" The writer recently received a letter from which the above is an excerpt and It here made public In the hope that it will serve as a good suggestion to others. It is an Incident of common human experience. No man can read lhe future and it is not unwise to save money though we have no definite object in view. Sooner or later the amount of money accumulated in our bank account will serve a useful pur­ pose In our lives. It may help us over a tight place or it may prove to be the foundation of a future fortune. No one should ever be without a certain amount of resources even though the immediate need for them is not ap­ parent. But it is a fact that with some saving is cxeremely difficult unless there Is a definite object In view. It may be to buy a home, embark in business, secure an education, own an automobile, take a trip abroad, or Invest In good secur­ ities. Or it may be any one of a thousand wortby'objects. The point is that If you are one of those who cannot . save without something definite to save for. then you should find such a definite objective. Many really think they cannot save. The writer has heard many say. "Money goes through, tpy hands like waler through a sieve." This is an addmission of unnecessary and unjustified weak­ ness and the best possible way to over­ come it is to establish an objective. Get into the habit of saving. That is the main tiling for the longer you save thc easier it will become. Save for a definite purpose. Choose some object that you very greatly de­ sire; then save persistently and system­ atically until you acquire It. That is an excellent way to begin the practices of thrift.—By S. W. Straus.

Restored to Normal Weight One Out of Five Is Wasted ■yOU wouldn’t deliberately throw fuel away, and yet that is what you do when you toler­ ate a furnace coil. Investigation proves that one . of every five shovelsful of fuel goes to heat the water in your furnace coil and so is wasted from your heating system. That's something to think about And, too, when your furnace fire is low or out—noTiot water. Not so good, either. To prevent this enormous waste, engineers have developed a new gas water heater that gives con­ stant hot water at low cost. This heater, can use only a small amount of gas and being built like a thermos bottle, it can’t leak heat. It banishes tho old wasteful furnace coil forever.

The ; purpose of this large sum of money • is to show farmers how to raise better I hogs, better cattle, better grain, etc. | Yet the state of Michigan, he said, does not wend one penny for the di­ rect purpose af getting a better type of boys and girls morally. He predicted that the time would come within thc noxt 25 years when the making of thot kind of boys and girls would be the alrrt of every state as well as of every edu­ cational institution. He paid a fine tribute to the Boy Scouts and their work in holding a boy steady and true to good Ideals. He said that tn 1875 government statistics showed that on­ ly 7 per cent of the crimes in thiscountrythen were committed by boys 21 years of age or under. Fifty years later, or in 1925, government statistics revealed that 51 per cent of the crimes are com­ mitted by boys and girls under 21. He resented the idea that the war Is to blame for this situation. He feels It Is due to the disrespect far law and au- > thority in the home. Stepping up to ’ the flag he said that men disobeying j the law are doing as great a crime as though they would joke the flag that1 stood before him and deliberately spit | upon it. Speaking of prohibition, he de­ dared that he himself had not ' thought the action wise at the time, but in view of the fact that it was taken. there Is nothing else for a good citizen : to do but accept it and obey the law. | He said that those who claim that there is more drinking under prohibition In j the United States now than there is in -Canada where the state itself sells 11- 1 quor tn its people do not know what they arc talking about. He sold that four weeks ago he was for one day In the city of Stratford. Ontario, which has 12,000 people. He said he saw and counted 13 men who were drunk on the . street, or in the hotel where he stopped. in that one dav. For the four entire weeks since that time he has been visit Ing American cities, going up and down streets and stopping al hotels; and in all that time he had not seen one drunken man.

In the long run it is better to be sat­ isfied with such returns for your money as are safe and sound. Through the processes of compound Interest or rein­ vestment of proceeds one can build one's capital to such a great volume as might sound truly amazing. These pro­ cesses are slow nt first. It requires much patience to let your earnings grow along sound lines when those i around you apparently are reaping pro­ digious profits and getting rich from their speculative activities. But while these methods are slow they are dependable and there are millions of people today who arc thank­ ing their lucky stars that they have been satisfied to put Lhelr money Ini safe places even though the sroflts may I have seemed small.

The chief benefits of the mulch in addition to making the yield greater were the conservation of moisture, keeping tlie berries clean, and smothIng weeds during th* harvesting season The mulch also protects the berries against winter-injury. In localities where there Is little snow, the mulch will be especially val­ uable. and It Is additional insurance of a good crop In seasons of light rainfall. The mulch plots, in lhe College tests, yielded 2.988 quarts s.— ~ per acre while ---- other portions of the field yielded only 2375 quartz per un. The difference in yield was worth 90 dollars per acre. The mulch was applied late tn November and was left on lhe plants until the close of the following harvesting season. The mulch, which wm three or four inches deep In the spring, wm opened over the rows to permit the ptanu to grow through. The plants were grown In narrow matted rows. YANKEE SPRINGS.

Thereupon the Judge gave Bocks the maximum term of ten years, with a minimum of eight and one-half years, in the Rate prison at Jackson. As has been well understood. Judge McPeek is not disposed to treat lightly such offenses as that committed by Socks. Under the circumstances he was justified in imposing the severe sen­ tence he did—tiie minimum being eight and one-half years. That is a long time for a young man to be deprived of his liberty, and be compelled to under­ go the regulations of prison life and prison discipline. In our Judgment Joe Socks deserved what hr got. If he ■node his plea thinking that Judge Mc­ Peek would be lenient with him, he found he was not facing that kind of a Judge.

WALTOhl OPTOMETRIC SPECIALIST HASTING, michiuan It is surmised by some commentators on foreign affairs that now that Euro­ pean nations have settled their debt difference, a drive wUl be made for re­ vision of oil foreign debts, the chief thing in mind being to inaugurate a Aebt cancellation program in which the United States will be asked to surrender claims on European debtors. The trouble with all thia is that-the United Slates government has no way of cancelling the obligations it assumed when it borrowed from the American people the money it loaned to European governments. The bonds representing this debt must stand, the interest be paid and the principal satisfied.

The meteoric shower which is sup­ posed to give an exhibition in this neck of the woods most any old morning good and early, is attracting no little attention. It Is reported that a Green street lad hod a narrow escape from death last week. He was hunting ducks on a mud puddle on Green street in front of Billy Hams' residence, and got into a sink hole in the middle of the street Immediately disappearing out of. sight. By the aid of his gun in some way, he got his head above the mud and crawled out on the ten loads of gravel thqt were recently used to gravel the street. We understand that with some difficulty he was rescued, but the frightened lad escaped before his name could be learned. A man In going to his rescue, JJ. is said, slipped off the cement cross walk by Dr. Andrus* resi­ dence and got In the mud up to his neck. These are nothing but rumor* ot course and may be unfounded but It would nt least seem that those who have the keeping of the principal streets of the city in condition should investigate. Human life Is too precious to be lost in a mud puddle on a main thoroughfare of one of the prettiest and most up-to-date cities In the state.

What did Germany get out of Itf Wot by Prance alone, but by an outraged world Ger­ many was whipped into submission. Her war madness was tamed. For 100 years Germany will be paying the fi­ nancial burdens brought to her by that war. France now hu a great burden of debt, yet she insists upon making every year huge military and naval expenditures which. If applied to debt paying would, in a comparatively few years, make her debt free and inde­ pendent financially. But she refuses lo take any other course than militar­ ism—the same course Germany fol­ lowed. which ended in disaster to Ger­ many and harm to the rest of the world. ‘ It seems that the only hope of ending '.his war madness is to make war so destrucUve that no nation will dare ap­ peal to arms in the future. Science is rapidly making it certain that anoth­ er war would be an appalling calamity and would practically mean the de­ struction of civilization. The United States has paid IIO.OOH,000.000.00 of its war debt since the war closed. Wc are the richest country In the world. If the nations of Europq feel constrained to keep on building navies and maintaining vast armies, there will be-only ons thing for us to do, for our own safety, and tiiat is to maintain a navy that Is equal to any in the world; to have coast defenses that will make it practically impossible for war vessels to get within reach of this country—especially the big cities along our coasts—and to maintain the nucelus of an army that can provide officers for a big army, one that would give a good account of itself if neces­ sary. America does not want to do this. The naval construction branch of our country is now finishing eight bin cruisers, authorized In 1024. The last Congress authorized the building of fifteen more. These twenty-three cruisers will cost the government of the United States enough to complete three cement highways east and wes; from coast to coast and four from north to south. America would far rather spend our money that way than to put it into battleships. But If the rest of the world is going to Insist on building big navies, there is nothing left for us to do but to be prepared to defend ourselves. sister. Mrs. L. A. Day. Mrs. Esta Day.

The interest has thereby been decreased nearly one-half of the pro­ posed cut In federal Income taxes. Moreover, the surplus revenues of the government last year were over $150.­ 000,000.00.

Thirty years ago the automobile was a novel plaything which only the well-to-do could afford. Today the automobile is a necessity. Motor trucks and buses play a large part in the transportation of freight and passengers. Commercial motor vehicles are indispensable. Motor cars take us out-of-doors, enable thousands to enjoy the advantages of travel and make accessible many beauty spots in every state. Commercially and socially, the automobile has broken down the barrier of distance and made neighbors of all communities. Michigan leads the world in the development of the automobile. Great corporations, producing a majority of the nation’s motordriven vehicled, have made Michigan the center of automobile manufacture. r r r Closely associated with and contributing to the growth of Michi­ gan’s major manufacturing industry are the telephone wireways. More than 3,000,000 miles of telephone circuits in Michigan serve in the purchase of raw materials, the directing of manufacture and transportation, the contacting of dealers and the buying and selling of the finished product. Telephone wireways carry the voice of motordom throughout the country, and even overseas. r V ■ r Thus, are wireways serving Michigan’s great industry and aiding in the prosperity and growth of our state.

In their dealings with that riffraff humanity which forever gravitates to frontier settlements these religionists adhered to a principle which the doubting world proclaims to be lu­ natic.

NOVEMBER 20, 19M . “Acres of Diamonds” in Irving Township The Interesting Story of R. V. Neil Who Settled On a Sandy, Barren Farm and Made It “Blossom Like the Rose" Hard Work and Pluck Mixed With Common Sense and Fertilizer Has Enabled . Mr. Neil to Make Good Five years ago Mr. R. V. Neil bought 100 acres of land in Irving Township and with his wife and nine children started farming. Mr. Neil states that several of the fields were nothing but light sand, and one field that had been planted to beans the year before 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 Ijming some of the fields and sowing them to alfalfa, being par­ ticular to inoculate his seed. He bought three cows, and when some of the neighbors 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 win­ ter 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 purchased through the help of the Arctic Dairy Products Company, paying for them from part of bis milk receipts, he never could have stayed on the farm. His cows have maintained a steady income throughout the years, and practically all of the crops were left on the farm in' the form of ma­ nures which the soil very much needed. This Table Shows the Monthly Receipts and Hauling Cost of Mr. Neil’s Average Herd of 15. for the First 10 Months of 1928 Since moving onto the farm Mr. Neil states that he has put new roofs on his buildings, built a silo, and bought 80 acres more of this sandy land which he is putting into productivity by the aid of a good dairy herd. He now has 60 acres of alfalfa and is raising fine crops due to the fer­ tilization of the land. Year 1928 / January February March April May ' June July August September October Records from the Arctic Dairy Products Com­ pany show that Mr. Neil’s herd of cows is surely improving through proper feeding and careful management. In 1928 with an average herd of 1 5 cows the first 10 months showed an income of $2,064.97 and in 1929 the total receipts were $2,041.43 for the same 10-month period. It will be recalled that during this summer of 1929 pasture was almost nothing owing to the drought, yet in spite of this the herd income was almost as great as the preceding year. — Mr. Neil tells the writer that at one time this year he sold seven cows and replaced them by three better cows, increasing his herd production by 74 lbs. per day. Readers will be interested in knowing that Mr. Neil has kept his home and nine children to­ gether during the five years since Mrs. Neil died, the older ones assisting in the home, besides in­ creasing the product of his herd and greatly im­ proving the value of his farm.

The only other fertilizer used has been lime and plenty of it.

(Signed) Herbert Hoover. FEDERAL JUDGE MAKES VERY DRASTIC RULING One Who Knows Jones Law Is Violated Must Report to Au­ thorities or Become a Felon eral Judge Louis FitzHenry at Peoria. Illinois, one day last week. In an opin­ ion delivered in a liquor case he held that any. person who buys a drink ot liquor, or knows of any person who buys liquor for beverage purposes Is— unless he reports his knowledge to the United States—a felon. Judge PitaHenry held this in a decision upholding the constitutionality of the Jones Law. The opinion was delivered in a case which did not Involve a buyer. Hr pointed out that an act passed by Con­ gress in 1790 makes a felon of any person who knows of a felony and does not report it to the proper authorities. The Jones Law makes a felon of any person selling, transporting, or possess­ ing liquor for beverage purposes. Judge PitaHenry held that under these two laws the buyer of liquor— or even lhe guest in a home where liquor bought in violation of law is served, is equally guilty with the seller or purchaser and subject to the same punishment. He observed that this phase of the Jones Law has been gen­ erally overlooked. "Whether it is wisdom to make this change, which makes thousands, per­ haps millions of persons felons, or whether it is constitutional is quite a different thing. ‘ He said. "The new Jones Law operates entirely outside and beyond the national prohibition act." Attorneys representing Berkley Smith in Judge FitzHcnry's court contended that the Jones act is unconstitutional, chiefly because it transferred from the Jury to the Judge the power to fix the degree of guilt. The court overruled the defendant's attorney on this qdcstion. As anyone can see this makes the giv­ ing away of liquor a felony on the part of the giver, and a felony on lhe part of those who partake of the liquor, if they do not report the illegal use of liquor to federal authorities. This case will no doubt go up to the highest court and if sustained it will make it exceeding dangerous for any­ STANLEY M.

Nov. 25—Wooden over­ coats for bees are Included in the list of winter goods needed by the insects and recommended for their use by specialists In agriculture at Michigan State College. The overcoats are not fitted to thc In­ dividual insects but are a community garment made by building a fence around the bee-yard and by building fracking cases around each hive. The space between the case and the hive is then filled with insulating material. • Colonies which were given no pro­ tection from cold weather produced one-super less honey than the bees which were packed at the College last winter. In central and southern Michigan, tar paper tracking cases are said to be satisfactory but wooden cases are recommended by the specialists for northern parts of the Stale. Bees win­ tered in cellars do not need packing, but a windbreak should be provided when the bees are moved into the yard in April. Bees fly more freely from hives which ore protected by a board fence which breaks the cold spring winds. Orchard owners who depend upon bees to pollinate their fruit can increase thc number of bees flying in early spring by providing such protection from the wind. OveF-38 Cooqj.

Tightly packed with stalwart miners, the car drops down the shaft, the hat lamps fade and the bantering voices recede into the darkness. Down, down, doWh, a mile or more they go, to blast and pick for copper-bearing rock. Linking these subterranean workers and their companions on the surface is a telephone system, keeping the miners in constant communication with "the top”. On each underground “level”, a telephone enables the "shift bosses” to receive directions from the superintendent above, or to report particular developments. ' ' . . . ' . As a safety device, the telephone is indispensable. The far-reaching telephone wireways are partners of mining, not only underground but in the surface plant, in the offices, and between all points in the nation. The copper, iron, salt, oil, and other mining industries of our state utilize the telephone to sell their products, to buy materials and to direct shipping. Michigan is proud of her mining industry, proud of her position in the production of these minerals. The'Michigan Bell Telephone Company is proud to be a partner of this industry and to do its part in aiding its development.

December 16. and it will be of unusual interest. The speaker will be Floyd Starr, head of the Starr Commonwealth for Boys, which Is lo­ cated near Albion. He will bring with him a number of his boyt who will have a part on the program. Mr. Starr Is wonderful In his ability to manage boys. He insists that there Is no such thing as a bad boy, if he Is 'normal physically and mentally. Some­ times abnormal conditions In a boy rr y drive him Into crime. But if a boy is normal. Mr. Starr Insists, that he Is not really a bad boy. unless someone who has been responsible for his train­ ing has followed a mistaken course with him. The boys who go to the Starr Com­ monwealth are almost invariably eent their by Juvenile courts. If It was twice ns big a place the Starr Commonwealth would be crowded Just the same as now. because of the wonderful work he Is able to do in starting n boy off right. He has been conducting this place for several years. Some of the boys who have gone out from his Commonwealth have made names for themselves in the business world. They have shown their gratitude to him In many ways by helping on the good work which he h doing. ~ There is no high board fence or any kind of a fenre calculated to keep the . boys inside the Starr Commonwealth.

Deputy Attorney General Emerson R. Boyles recently gave an opinion showing the steps a finder of lost ar­ ticles must take to comply with the statutes of Michigan. He says tliat the facts are that any article, the value of $10.00 or more, is tied up for a period of five years be­ fore the finder can have any property right and then he gets only half and thc other half belongs to thc state. Thc laws covering lost articles date back to the first legislature and pro­ visions of the law written in 1846 are still in effect. Under the state law the finder of an article, of the value of $3.00 ot marc up to $10.00. must within three days place two notices in a public place telling of the find and within seven days must file written notice with the township, city or village clerk Pil­ ing of the find. Finders of articles of $10.00 or more have more trouble than the value of the article found is generally worth. Within one month of the finding of the article the finder must advertise the find in a local newspaper and must continue the advertisement six consecu­ tive weeks. Within three months he must have an appraisal made and cer­ tificates signed by Uie justice of the peace and file such appraisal with tho township, village or dty clerk. The owner has one year in which to claim the property. At thc end of lhe year thf finder must go to the county clerk, wjio holds the money tn trust for the rightful owner for five years. If it is not claimed the money then re­ verts to the general fund of the. state. Violations of this law are punishable by a- fine or imprisonment in thc coun­ ty jail. Tills law is wtiolly ignored, as shown by the experience of Auditor General O B. Fqllef, who has failed to report any payment to lhe stats for lost articles in recent years. _ Senior Class of Hastings High Reserved Seats 15c We have a most attractive array of just such things, and if it seems a prob­ lem to you, forget it, and remember that our store is a Man's and Boy s Store and we specialize in those luxuries and neces­ sities that Men and Boys wear every day.

This is to be given in Albion. Benton Harbor. Traverse City and Mt. Pleasant. If any members of the many “Par­ ent and Teacher" organizations in Barry county arc Interested in this school of instruction, we have no doubt they will be attending the meeting to be held at Albion. The meeting there will be held in the Albion high school at 7:30 p. m.. Eastern Standard Time. The dates and lectures are as follows: January 14. Dr. Katharine Green, of the University of Michigan, will talk on "Family and tho Young Child", treating-this subject from thc stand­ point of the family as a social group; the emotional relations of the child nnd the home; and the social needs of the young child. January 21 will be Uie date of the second meeting. It being "Planning the Home for the Child." This sub­ ject will be treated from the stand­ point of a child's equipment in the home; the child's routine: the child's information about the home. The next date will be January 28. Thc speaker will be Dr. Carter on "Commandments and Courtesy for the Young Child." He will present the dis­ tinction between commanding and re­ questing; commandments for young children; courtesy for young children; : courtesy towards thc child. ' February 4 will be the date of thc next address, which will be by Dr. E. Y. Melekin of the Battle Creek college ou the subject. "The Faults of the Child." This will lie discussed from tho standpoint of the chief complaints about children (such as thumb-suck­ ing, disobedience, over-exuberance, fears, jealousy, etc.) He will also dis­ cuss treatment for Uie matters and the progressive steps to be taken. Thc final talk will be on the evening of February' 11 by Dr. Katharine Green, pf the University of Michigan, on "Obedience os a Virtue." Points brought out will be; the child In the beginning; the adult in comparison; the process of change; value of obedi­ ence; obeying is for the purpose of accomifiishing some end; personal integ­ rity as thc goal. We are sure that any parent or any teacher can gain much from this series of lectures given by those who are au­ thorities on Uie subjects they discuss. These meeting* will mark the first attempt made by the Extentlon Divis­ ion of thc University and the Parent­ Teachers Association of Michigan to embark on a more or less ambitious scheme by which the parents of the state may be educated regarding thelr children. The endeavor is surely a worthy one. If successful this year it is planned to enlarge the service in years to come.

Hyde was born Dec. 5. 1888 at Prairieville, Michigan. Her child­ hood days were spent in this little vil­ lage where she attended school. Af­ terward-she attended.college and grad­ uated from the Michigan State College in 1908. She spent three years teaching school and then was united in marriage to Oscar Alfred Krat of Albion, Mich., who was also a graduate of Michigan State College. The first seven years of thelr married life was spent in Portland. Oregon where their first child was born and passed away In Infancy. Four other children. Malcolm. Courtney. Wendell and Beverly survive. Two others in her immediate family family. Cleo, a little sister, and Dr. George R. Hyde (her father) passed liefore her. Her mother. Nettie E. Hyde; two sisters. Let* Cleveland and Qpul Johnson; two brothers Rankin and Paul; two aunts. Mrs. Mllly R Parker and Mrs. R. J. Easson of Stratford. Ontario, and several cousins survive. Her sunny disposition made her a favorite with all of her life is a guid­ ing star for all who are left behind. Every person who met her was en­ riched by her beautiful spirit and her pure life, wliich Is a beautiful example for us all to follow. lEEN rvice £oppenthieris Announce A ^Special Jetting Svent Had This Year We hear a great deal now and then about lhe "oldest Inhabitant" and that never In the memory of this venerable person has so much rain or so little rain, or so much heal or so much cold been known as in this particular sea­ son. Usually this statement wide of the truth for it is quite impossible for anyone to remember exactly what the temperature was thirty, forty or fifty years ago. unless he kept a diary all the time, which isn't apt to be the From December 5th to December 14th A Marvellous However, we think Uie oldest inhab­ itant would have to rack his think­ tank to recall a Thanksgiving period which was as cold as It waa for a"few days before and several days after Thanksgiving in 1929. At the water­ works on Thursday morning the ther­ mometer registered belpw aero. That Is close to the river and is lower than COAT » DRESS Ister colder there than most of the town; but on the bank comer the ther­ mometer held around six above zero for quite a. time Thursday and Friday and was nearly tliat on Saturday morning. Along with this low temper­ ature was a bitter cold wind and oc­ casional flurries of snow, which made it quite disagreeable. . Many can remember the winter—we think it was about thirty years ago— when we had sleighing for Thanks­ giving and 129 days of sleighing that winter. The cold weather did not then appear until Thanksgiving, but stuck to It with great tenacity from that time on. This year, however the cold! weather began about six days before Thanksgiving and some of the time it; was bitter cold. SALE FIRST MAN TQ FLY OVER NORTH AND SOUTH POLES Truly the Greatest Ready-to-Wear Commander Richard E. Byrd Has Won That Distinction by Crossing South Pole Americans feel a thrill of pride in knowing that Commander Richard E.; Byrd made such a successful filtght in' an airplane over thc South Pole, .‘.tart-1 ing Thursday and returning Friday.I He made the round trip ot something! over 1600 miles in about a day. Crossing the South Pole involves a great deal more difficulty than cross-i ing the North Pole. Commander Byrd; alone of all-human beings has crossed! both poles in an airplane Tlic North Pole is located Just a few feet above the ocean level upon Uie ice. The South Pole, however, Is situated on a mainland which U five to eight thou ! gf sand feet above sea level. It Is'covered with from 1500 to 2000 feet of Ice. Be­ tween Uie shore of the Anarctlc where Byrd started his flight and the South Pole, there are two or three ranges of very high mountains, extending several thousand fe$t above the high plateau. Il can be seen that he iiad some hard Job. but he did it. He has received commendation of tho President of the United States tn behalf /of thc people of this country as well as congratula­ tions from leading men throughout lhe world. & FORMER HASTINGS GIRL NOW P.

Dec. 2.—Alcohol is now ■•oMbir! acting the part of a detective In a • ‘ । method which was perfected by mem­ " [ bers of the soils department at Mlchl4* gan Stale College to determine the ., amount of moisture in a soil. j Old methods of measuring the quanI tlty of water in the soil required that i the soil be taken to a laboratory and dried in an oven for twenty-four hours. The new method permits the investi­ gator to tell in five minutes in the field : how much water the soil contains. 1 No matter how fertile a soil is. plants can not grow unless there is water presI ent in the soil to allow the plant food ■ to go into solution so It can be taken | up by the plant. Clay should contain 35 per cent moisture, sand should have 12 per cent, nnd loam soils need 20 per cent of water to enable plants to make rapid growth. Soils which are low in water content can be improved by an application of organic matter, or the soils can be tilled by methods which build dust 1 mulches on the surface. Organic matter ■ increases the soil's water holding ca­ pacity and a dust mulch decreases uw amount of water evaporated from tne soil.

ADVOCATE NUT TREES FOR HIGHWAY BEAUTI­ FICATION IN MICHIGAN Michigan's vast highway system would be beautified by long lanes of shade trees, under a plan announced by William E. Kidder, president of the Kalamaaoo Bled Co. . After years of study and experimen­ tation. Kidder has selected nut wees as offering thc maximum value in beauty, shade and marketable harvests. The varieties he has selected are the Eng­ lish. Chinese and Japanses walnuts, and Alberta and almonds. Kidder studied trees In many countries before deciding. Soma trees were found un­ adaptable to Mlchlgarfs soil or climate and others were lacking in beauty. With lhe consent of thc State High­ way Department. Kidder is offering farmers Along the trunk roads free see-d nuts in return for n premise to plant them under certain conditions and to give them proper attention for two years. The trees will be grown on­ ly on the south side of east and west roads but will be found on both sides of north and south highways. The project has been developed in co-operation with James A- Nelson, an authority on nut tree culture. Nelson formerly was associated with Michigan State College, but is now in charge of a tree development project att he W. K. Kellogg experimental farm near Gull Lake. "Not only arc the varieties selected suitable for growth in Michigan's soil and climate but they are beautiful in shape and foliage os well." Kidder said. ••English walnuts, for example, are profitably grown In New York State. They weigh about one-third more than the Southern-grown English wal-1 nut and bring a higher price, because I of their greater oil content, from con- i fectloners and bakers. There arc four English walnut trees on a lot in Bay City. The boy cares for them and re­ ceives a handsome Income from the nuts." . Kidder enumerates an Instance where nut trees already are being grown in Michigan. Filberts are thriving on the George Irvine property at Gull Lake. The strict provisions in the law against disturbing trees or flowers growing along the highways of Michl- ; gan was one of the principal factors ; that led Kidder to offer the nut seed | free for development of roadside beau­ ty. MODERN DAVID HARUM MAKES TRACTORS PAY/ Five years ago an ambitious young man in Yoder. Wyoming, traded his saddle and $40.00 in cash for a second hand traitor. says the Research De­ partment of the National Association! of Farm Equipment manufacturers.! During the past fall, this same young man. Dwight J. Poage. harvested 15.000 bushels of his own wheat from 1550 acres of land. *• With his old tractor and an old plow, he summer fallowed 100 acres of land which he seeded to wheat in the fall of 1024. In 1025. he harvested a good crop and summer fallowed 250 acres. In 1026. he bought a new tractor and u combine, and in 1027. a second trac­ tor and a one-lay disk. At harvest time that year, he had 450 acres of wheat to cut. In 1028. he had increased his business to 1,000 acres of wheat which he tended with tftetors and harvested with combines. Mr. Poage thinks there is nothing like good equipment for low cost pro­ duction of wheat Hexeaters hto«activities around the tractor and Ute com­ bine. MAKING THE NATION SMALLER.

The American worker is the best paid in the world according to a recent survey made by the Ministry of Labor of Great Britain. This unbiased authority takes into consideration not only actual wages re­ ceived. but the ”real wage"—the buying power of money in lhe various countries concerned. On this basis, with the real wage in England counted as 100, the average wage in Germany is 65. in Italy. 45. in France. 55. in Canada. 143. and in Uie United States. 179. In other words, the United States worker Ls three times as prosperous as his brother in Germany, four times as prosperous as the Italian worker, and one-fourth more prosperous than the worker in Canada, who conies nearest our standards. Much of the credit for this general prosperity must be given to our equal­ izing tariff which has prevented cheap­ labor foreign manufacturers from en­ tering into ruinous competition with American producers. The tariff with its intimate relation to business and employment Ls inseparable from pro­ gress. “CERTAIN RICH MEN." Three rich men have done in these panic days what rich men are not supposed to do. At some risk of a moment they have come to the aid ot poorer men. Mr. Rockefeller did it by announcing at a crucial moment of selling that he was buying stocks; Mr. Rosenwald did it by guaranteeing the margin accounts of all his employes; Mr. Ford did it seeking a filip for general business by announcing a cut in the price of his automobiles. From each of these acts the man responsible will take certain advantages. That is fair enough. The point is that "certain rich men" showed that they also have a public conscience which their radical foes axiomatically deny them—New York Evening Post. ervtcehas a new meaning at the Sign of the Shell OMETHING new in service awaits you Motor Oil as you use them, is due to Shell’s complete control of every step just as soon as Shell completes its own facilities here for distributing Shell in the processes of producing, refining and marketing petroleum products. products.

This Year... for Christmas Buy for Yourself and Your Family The Last Couple of Years Have Fully Demonstrated the Economical V alue of the Model A Ford Car «^BOUT TWO YEARS AGO the country was all agog, speculating on the New Ford Car and what it would be like ... and then ... Henry Ford came out with his announcement, telling everybody what they could expect in the New Ford automobile. According to such information as we can obtain from drivers in this territory, the New Model A Ford can be driven hour after hour at 50 to 60 miles per hour with no injurious effect upon the car or engine! We have sold hundreds of these cars right here in this local territory and no one of the owners has ever yet had to apologize for his “Ford” or its performance. ' Low first cost and economical gas and running ex­ pense put this splendid car in a class far ahqad of any other car on the market for all practical purposes. Owners all about this field have proven the truth of Henry Ford’s early announcement. Several owners have had the experience of driving the New Ford cars many thousands of miles at high speed ... averaging as high as 50 miles per hour for long distances. No family can afford to be without a MODEL A FORD CAR! Drivers who have driven 30,000 miles per year claim to have driven three-fourths of this mileage at a speed of better than 45 miles per hour. The Ford Motor Company has always given the public the advantage of big production by reducing the price, which accounts for the The Ford Motor Company expects to manufacture 2,000,000 cars during the year 1930.

Nearly every city now requires the pasteurizing of all milk sold therein—except in extra grades, which sells from 6 to I 5 cents above regular grades. Recent articles in the Ladies’ Home Journal and other maga­ zines, have stressed the safety of pasteurized milk, as pasteurizing destroys disease germs and objectionable bacteria in the milk. I Have Installed One of the Best Pasteurizing Plants Obtainable As quick cooling of milk down to a low tempera­ ture and maintaining it also has very much to do With the quality and healthfulness of milk t / Have Installed a Complete Refrigerating Plant That will cool the milk from the pasteurizer temper­ ature down to 45 degrees in 30 seconds and a cooler that will maintain it at 35 to 40 degrees indefinitely. 1 have been assured that my dairy barn and milk­ handling plant have the equipment that embodies the latest ideas for insuring as good a quality of milk of the two grades 1 will offer as can be obtained in any city. Next week I expect to announce a definite date for the delivery of milk. Thereafter 1 will be glad to have any person interested visit the plant and see just how the milk is handled in the plant, and the care taken to insure you a supply of good, clean, healthy milk. In Order to Produce Grade A Milk In order to produce Grade A milk, I have entirely rebuilt my cowbarn—electric automatic ventiliation— electic lighted—electrically operated milker—individ­ ual water bowl for each cow—services of experienced dairy herdsman (good experience in Switzerland and in this country)—will keep cows clipped and clean— udders cleaned before milking. Pasteurizing the Milk / Have a Herd of 30 ■ Holstein and Guernsey Cows Milk taken from the barn to milk-house immediate­ ly after milking and straining, is emptied into the lat­ est type of stainless steel pasteurizer where it is raised from 139 to 140 degrees and held for 30 minutes. The secret of GOOD pasteurized milk is an even temperature while being pasteurized and quick and sufficient cooling before bottling and then kept at a low temperature where bacteria cannot propagate. Then the milk is electrically pumped through a filter and over the cooling device, where temperature is re- duced to 45 degrees. Then by gravity to automatic bot­ tler and capper, which handles about 24 quarts a min­ ute. Next the bottled milk is placed in an electrically cooled refrigerating room, where the temperature is maintained between 35 and 40 degrees. Kept in this' refrigerating room until delivered. The milk plant also has a continuous bottle washer, operated by electrici­ ty, which first rinses with cold water, then with a soda­ ash solution for cleansing, next a BK disinfecting so­ lution, and lastly is scalded by live steam, the heat thoroughly drying the bottle. A MODERN, SANITARY MILK HOUSE The milk house is supplied with pure water from a 4-inch driven well by an electric pump, operating with a pressure tank. Steam for all purposes is supplied from a 10 H.

The Milk House is entirely separate from the Barn. All the equipment at both the Barn and the Milk House is electrically operated. Steam for the plant is fur­ nished by a 10 H. P. vertical boiler. Water for the plant is electrically pumped into a big pressure tank from a 4-inch driven well. The big refrigeration plant, in which is stored the bottled milk, is electrically operated and is automatically main­ tained at a temperature of 35 to 40 degrees. The automatic bottle washer is electrically operated. The bottle is first rinsed, inside and out with cold water, which removes nearly all the milk that may adhere to the used bottle. It is next washed with a soda-ash solution for cleansing: next a B K disinfecting solution is applied thoroughly. The final process is a thorough treatment with live steam which completes the cleansing and dries the bottle. Etery milk can is thoroughly cleansed and treated with steam. No pains nor expense are spared for the sanitary handling of the milk. C. G. Hinckley, Distributor of Highlands Dairy Milk and Cream, is experienced in that work, and has the equipment to keep the milk cool and in sanitary condition summer and winter, and will give you courteous service. To Produce Grade A Milk The Pasteurizing Plant The foundation of Grade A Milk must be a good herd of cows, kept in a clean, well ventilated barn. We have an automatic, self-operating, electric ventilating system. We have an experienced herdsman, who has spent his life in caring for dairy cattle in Switzerland and the United States. He will devote his entire time to this work. He fully understands and will hold to the barn requirements for Grade A Milk. The milk is taken from the barn and strained into the stainless steel Pasteur­ izer. Pasteurizing destroys disease germs and hurtful bacteria—which is an essential part of a healthful product. We have the equipment as shown in the picture below, which shows the steps taken to convert the raw milk into the finished Pasteurized product as it will come from the motrized delivery to the consumer. / Priebe* ________ * “GRADE A” PASTEURIZED MILK from Our Own Dairy Herd—14 Cents Single Quart; 8 Quart Tickets $1.00; 8 Cents Single Pint; 14 Pint Tickets $1.00. “GRADE B” PASTEURIZED MILK from Dairymen who produce milk under good farm conditions subject to inspection by city health authorities.

That would seem to l be about all this county should undertake. Not to exceed half of it would come as the county's portion from । the state gasoline and license taxes. Over *50.000 would be raised by tax for maintenance alone in the county. If. however, it can be found from the experience of other counties, with similar soils and surfaces as Barry • county, that an investment of *2.000 or such a matter per mile will make a surface that will last tor ten or twelve ('years, with only a slight expense for occasional patching. then thc coun। ty could gradually, by taking a small I mileage, say ten or twenty miles a i year, in a few years make good roads ' of all the main traveled county high­ ways, and the expense would not be exorbitant. Soon the saving in main­ tenance would be very appreciable. The second and third coatings would not cost as much as the first because they could be applied over the exist­ ing roadway.

Deputy State Highway Commission­ er Burton did say, however, that al) the counties he had visited so far had approved the changes suggested by the state authorities, and that he was hopeful that tire vote would be unanimously in favor, as then seemed certain It would be. Commencing with M-43. which en­ ters Barry county on the county line between Barry and Eaton at Wood­ bury. As at present located it pro­ ceeds south one mile from Woodbury, then vest three miles, then south through Woodland village five miles, then west along the town line road six and one-half miles then south and west Into Hastings. It Is planned by the state highway authorities to make the main line of M-43 go directly south from Woodbury, continuing on the county line and skirting the vil­ lage of Nashville. The line beyond Nashville had not been definitely fixed but opinion seemed to favor fol­ lowing the county line of Barry and Eaton counties until Calhoun county is reached. What will be done after that was not decided. The alm in mapping out trunk lines . in Michigan by the state authori’lw ' Is to have them as direct as possible no matter what the construction dif­ ficulties in the way. unless they are too serious. Just what would be done with M-43 as at present located in this county from the county line through Wood­ land to Hastings was not revealed. It may be turned over to the Barry county authorities and become a coun­ ty road. But there is more than compensation for this in what will be done with M-39. This now enters Barry county a mile south of Wood­ bury. goes straight west two miles then north a little over a mile, then In a westerly direction through Lake Odessa. Alto and so on to Grand Rapids. The plan Is to not have this road turn north towards Lake Odes­ sa. but to proceed in a straight line west across the townships of Woodland and Carlton, angle into Freeport then go through Freeport and from therg on one-haif mile south of the county (Coatinued on page three) 1 uncTiiypo qum || n OB । Nw । ii.'ooSHOULD onu y lu__ PROVIDE MBPDBT ™ ------------- b"°“ a,b Possibly it may not be ho with others, but to the writer it does not seem possible that a year has rolled by since he was writing copy for the last issue of the Banner in the year 1928. In these busy days time has a way of flying by that is scarcely realiz­ able. Looking, back over 1929 we probably can all of us repeat what one of the world’s most famous men once said, 4So much to do; so little done.” Even where one loves to work and sticks to his job, he finds that time passes so swiftly that it seems as if little . had been accomplished. In this last issue of the Banner in 1929 we wish all our readers the compliments of this Christmas season. Especially do w<< desire for everyone of them that 1930 shall be the happiest and best year they have ever lived. So far as the Banner can contrib­ ute to the real progress of Hastings and.Barry county, we will give our beat to that end. We have a feeling that the Banner is a public utility, whose purpose is and should be that of giving the people of this city and county a worthy means of publicity. We are aware of our limitations and shortcomings; but so far as we can shape our course our aim will be to make the Banner as useful a factor to every reader, to this com­ munity, to this county’, to our state and country as we possibly can. Again we wish you al) a Merry’Christmas, and good health, happiness and prosperity for 1930.

For the country as a whole the h1 increase amounted to about 11-2 per [W j cent. In the East North Central States Si there was a slight decline; taxes in U the Middle Atlantic and the Mountain gs States remained at the level of the n previous year. In all other sections IS । increases occurred. The normal tendeney of public expenditures is to innJ crease. Hence reduction in farm texes k? Is not usually to be sought through KI general reductions in public expendlture, but rather through readjustments SS tending to equalize tex burdens among HI all tax-paying groups. ll THE BABY DRIVER.

"There have been three distinct power epochs in the agriculture of this nation— human, animal and mechan­ ical. The- first was characterised by hard work and little social progress for the worker.

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. 4 Nineteen hundred and twenty-nine 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.

This is evidenced by thc fact that gang warfare forms the basis of the plots in many current "talkies" and "movies." where not so long ago his­ torical incidents and frontier episodes were the basis of stirring scenes around which thc play revolved. "Big business crime" has created a new vocabulary which Is-•becoming a part of our doily word usage as was evidenced during recent tariff hearings when interrogators expressed them­ selves in words taken from the latest vernacular of gangland. Thc more im­ portant crime becomes os a big busi­ ness. the more difficult it is to control. Not the seventy of punishment but the certainty is the best deterrent for .'“(crime, declares E.

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.
