HASTINGS NATIONAL BANK The Only National Bank in Barry County No Sense In Expecting Japan to' z Make War On the United States Every once in a while thc yellow journals controlled by W, R- Hearst break out in flaming headlines in denunicatlon of Japan and the Japanesc. The Hearst appeals to tills coun­ try are to beware of Japan, as Japan has designs on our republic. Common sense ought to show that that would be absurd. It would be difficult indeed for a poor country like Japan. 0.000 miles away from us. wage a successful war against the United States which, has ten times thc financial resources of Japan and twice her population. We are not under­ rating the Japanese.

Taxes on real estate which have approached or reached the point of confiscation in many states could be replaced by taxes which would fall upon the people able to pay if the states would take ap thc problem as a unit instead of as 48 individual bodies, according to the statement of Dr. H. B. Hibbard, Uni­ versity of Wisconsin, in an address given at Michigan Slate College. An income tax. which was died os an equitable tax by the Wisconsin pro­ fessor, can not become fully effective he said, as long as individuals can avoid payment by moving their taxable property from a state which has a high income tax to one which has a lower one.

Feldpausch’s "Where Better Foods Cost Leu" Groceries PHONE 2272 Meats Vegetables WE DELIVER DISCUSSED FOUNDA­ TION PRINCIPLES Middleville Pastor, Bev. Mc­ Kean, Spoke to Rotarians on Monday The other day I was handed a small pamphlet to read, entitled. "Keep America Free." I am an American citiaen, I believe In right, and aa be­ lieving in the principles of liberty and Independence that our forefather* fought for. I most certainly do. Where are the laboring closae* of people standing today? They repre­ sent their labor and the other fellow set* the price, and on farm products, too. They are forced to accept It or go without work, and carry the hard earned product* back home, where the perishable product* must be dump­ ed. The other fellow then >et* th* price on his merchandise, and the la­ boring claaa must pay It or go without. Yes. our forefathers did a fine thing In gaining both their own and our liberty for us. Later in the 60‘* they fought again to free the colored slave, and won. Then they had done their part, leaving the future for the coming generations. Now. do you think we ougpt to lay down on the job when there is another struggle, that tor freedom of white labor? Do you think they will ever be able to set prices on their labor or on their farm products? Do you think they will ev­ er be able to set prices on the mer­ chandise they buy, whether from local or foreign? Or will they always be spoken of aa just the hard laboring class? I tried to sell a load of wood the other day to home town merchant* but was told that they preferred cool. When I asked them why they burned coal, they replied that it was cheaper. When they ask me why I trade at the chain store, I replied, that It was cheaper. They prefer to send their money to Kentucky, Ohio and the two* Virginias. I know that-the old Ume merchant i* being forced out of business every­ day by the chain stores, but too, the old time fanners are being forced from their farms every year at tax '.ime with enough wood on their farms to pay the taxes for many years to ome if they could Just sell it. We have also tried to sell cabbage n our home town, but could not do so. The merchant* either buy their sup­ ply-in Grand Rapids or want you to cut your price more than in two. or else will not give any reason at all for not buying. But when I took my cabbage to the Kroger store. I found o buyer os. he said he would take it all, and asked how much he owed me without gnimbling about the price. It was the same way with hick­ ory nut*. After trying other store* first-1 took- th«m-to-4h*—-A.- -and - P.vhere I sold them and received orders for more. As to the prices paid by the eastern fellow later when he gel* control as we hear so much about, it couldn't be worse than It is now. As for the Farm Relief, we don't think they have hurt themselves much. We all know that agriculture Is the backbone of the nation but at pres­ ent price* of farm products, I fear that the backbone will have to Import some rub alcohol to take away the The speaker and honor guest at the Rotary luncheon Monday noon was Rev. McKean, of Middleville, pastor ।I; ‘he ^‘’ScKe^*0 voi^ nin. 1 j Those who heard him are sure that he has a fine future before him in his | j chosen work, . — Ho- discussed the -■ foundation prin­ ciples that make for the stability of our country, without which It* prog­ ।ress would be impossible. First among ।these is the home. He mentlbncd sev­ (eral of the thing* that have arisen in ।our modem life that interfere with ।home life—especially such home life a* . we used to have In this country, before I there were so many diversions and dis­ tractions. He Insisted that there Is no i task more important to a husband and <| wife than that of making a good home; getting the confidence of their children and retaining It and helping them to develop physically, mentally and spiritually. The next pillar that is an essential in a democracy like ours he declared Is the public school. If wc are to main­ tain democratic institutions wo must have an educated citizenry. The modem public school offer* the mean* to that end. American*, if they are wise, will do everything that is possible to mnke the schools more efficient and more helpful. Wc ordinarily think sf tnc home as a place. We associate with the. idea of the school a definite building. But the next pillar he said had no such con­ crete material expression. Il expressed a spiritual value, which he called "obedience to law." When there 1* dis­ respect for law. which is the public will, there can be no stability for a democratic government like ours. He said there existed the undoubted right 'if every man to express hl* opinion for or against any law. If a citizen doe* not like a law. it 1* his privilege to work to have that law repealed. But •no citizen. In his judgment, had any right to defy or disobey any It w that is upon the statute books. The citizen's business is to obey the law whether he likes that law or not. Another foundation of a government like ours is the Christian church. Christ in his life taught the principles of real democracy. Wc agree, all of us. he said, that human nature itself is too frail to be depended upon; but there can come into one's life the pow­ er which Christ brought Into the World—His own “spirit?—Then there Is an added force, an added power to that man. a power which enables him to do what he would not be able to do him­ self. Another foundation principle is the Bible. He said that we could interpret the Bible aa our convictions and judg­ ment might decide, but the experience of the centuries had shown that the ten commandments arc the founda­ tion of public law. that Christ's teach­ ing of good will ahd love have wonder­ ful power in shaping individual and social life. 1 Mr. Merchant, as soon as you fol­ -The hearty applause given Rev.

"it has been tiie custom for .pessi­ mists and calamity howler* to state that the 'saturation point* had been reached, a* far u ■ automobiles are concerned, and that 'next year' would see a big falling off In their production. Year* have come and gone, and every year has either marked an -increased, or al least has equalled the highest production of any former year. "This i* a big country, and a rapidly growing country." continued Mr. Hurd, 'and the wealthiest the world ever knew. There are over 25,000,000 cars in this country alone. The average life of a car is about seven years. That means that 'replacements' alone call for 3.500,000 car# every year. We make about 5 500,000 cars a year. That leaves only about 2,000,000 car* to take care of our rapidly growing exports of automobiles and to meet the demands "As the manufacture of automo­ biles.- he said, “has got down on a more stable basis, and manufacturing economies have permitted constantly reduced prices, more, and more fam­ ilies are using two cars, three cars and quite often many more. The constantly growing number of families using more than one car Is surprising." -I am starting out on my second year as Chevrolet dealer in Hastings." Mr. Hurd continued, “and I am looking for­ ward to a good year, especially in view of the recent reduction in price. Last year my contract called for 210 cars and I sold more than I contracted for. Sat­ urday I sold three new ones, and I never had so many prospects for new machines os I hash right now." •Therefore*” he concluded. "I am looking forward to a good year for 1930. and despite the ravings of pessimists md calamity howlers, I am sure that vhen next Deember comes. 1930 will be found to be a good average year for automobile sales. The good old U. S. A. is a fertile field; her people thrifty and nrogressive—YOU SIMPLY CANNOT KEEP HER DOWN." Ladie*' High Zipper*. Colors: Brown, Mottled Gray and Black.

History of Past Prophecies Shows That Probably Nobody Will Guess What It Win Be. but We Predict - More Sanely Than of Yore By Mark Sullivan '1 (Reprinted from Detroit Saturday ------- NlghLJ—-------------The turn of the year will bring dur­ ing the coming week the uaual quantity of thoae. engaging prediction* about what is going to be during the 12 month* ensuing. They feed a hi/man appetite which is as old as the time when the Roman oracles foretold the fate of emperors and tribal medicine men killed animals to find out from some faint variation in the entrails what would be the outcome of battle or how large would be the coming crop. True, to speak of these ancient aug­ uries in the same breath with the eco­ nomic predictions that will be made next Wednesday, would be unfair to the latter. Such prophecies of trade as emanate from .sound sources have the validity that goes with Inference based on tested data. The comparative dis­ appearance of belief in arbitrary signs Is one of the clearest evidences of the gradual ascendancy of intelligence over superstitution. (Though there is a surprising num­ ber of exceptions to this advance, the late Mrs. Warren Harding, when she was in lhe White House, frequently consulted an astrologlst. One rather hopes the seer was good-hearted enough to predict less misfortune than actually attended the unhappy Hard­ ing family.) Nevertheless, the predictions of even those most competent to prophesy, of those who hold themselves austerely down In existence—even such economic fortune tellers are pretty fallible. Any reader of this article can treat himself to an experience In skepticism by turn­ ing back to the newspaper files of last Jan. 1. and trying to find any prohecy of that day which said that during lhe year 1028 there would occur the most precipitous and spectacular stock ex­ change panic in the history of the world. ’ The writer of this article, for sev­ eral reasons associated with his work, had had an unusually large experience In resurrecting prophecies and compar­ ing them with what later came about. Each presidential year as the Novem­ ber decision approached, he has looked back for the predictions preceding pre­ vious, elections. to examine the grounds on which such predictions were based. About the time of the turn of the century—about Jan. 1. 1900. that Is— the imaginations of men were greatly stirred by the passing of the nine­ teenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. There was an immense outpouring of augury, in books, mag­ azines and newspapers and from the pulpit. Nearly every public figure of any consequence tn every field was be­ sought to say what was about to be. The writer of this article has had occasion to examine these prophecies with close care. Then at the beginning of each year It has been increasingly tiie habit of newspapers and periodicals to print predictions, especially in the field of trade. These, too, the present writer has had occasion to examine. One deduction from the mass Is that prediction, when it comes from per­ sons of standing, has been on the whole Increasingly accurate It has been Increasingly accurate because the data on which such prediction can be based, has become Increasingly accur­ ate and voluminous. One of the important character- istlcs of the age in which we live is lhe increase of records and their accu­ racy. .Greater and greater quantities of records are kept; they are kept with greater and greater accuracy, and the agencies by which such rec­ ords are made public and diffused throughout the world have increased rapidly. The consequence Is that lhe world to an extent never known be­ fore. acta on facta, plots its course upon facts. More and more we live up to course® predicted for use—even dictated for us—by charts and graphs. Facts are supplanting emotion as the motivation of government and of individuals—and this Is decidedly an Important facet of our modern world When Adam Smith wrote his Wealth of Nations, there were almost no business data in existence. Conse­ quently Smith wrote his treatise largely on assumptions, one of the as­ sumptions being that he himself was an average man aqd that mankind In the mass would act. under given clrcumslances. as Adam Smith would act. We now know there was error In thal assumption. We now have enormous masses of data showing how men an4 groups of men have actually acted under given circumstances. A conse­ quence is that today a competent stat­ istician—If otherwise equally equip­ ped (which Is a weighty qualification> should be able to write a treatise on political economy more sound In some respects than the Wealth of Nations, that has enjoyed classic authority for more than a century and a half. Nevertheless, In spite of the increase of data and the Increased possibllly of forecast based on tested data-in spite of that, the outstanding Impression Of one who has read moat of the proph­ ecies of the last 30 January 1st*—lhe strongest Impression Is the fallibility of prophecy. A good many American reputations could be seriously im­ paired, could be brought to the risk of jeering by a malicious person who should dig up these prophecies of one. five, ten and twenty-five years ago— and print them In the harsh light of the subsequent facts. No one on/any Jan. 1 has been able to see whaf turned out, a* a rule, to be the most Important event of the ensuing year. No one on Jan. 1. 1903, predicted that within the year the air­ plane would be Invented. No American on Jan. 1. 1914, predicted that the great war would come or that some three years later we would raise millions of young men to fight in It. It U a safe guess—not a prophecy— that during 1930 something will hap­ pen. which none of the seen will have foretold, but which subsequent history will record as the most Important event of the year. Within the material world there are whispers of possible development* which, if they come, might be as rev­ olutionary as the coming of the auto­ mobile, or, underlying both lhe auto­ mobile and the airplane, the Internal combustion engine—possible Inventions as sensational as the radio or the tele­ phone when it came. There are whis­ pers about a new process for making nitrogen artificially, and about trans­ mitting electric power without wires. There are intimations of a develop­ ment which. If it should come, would cause the familiar coal car to disappear from railroads—suggestions that in the near future coal will be burned at the mines and the resulting agencies for “Gold Bond Tire Store*” —January— Clearance Sale On All Sizes and Make*—-Ajax, Fisk, United States and Mille/ Tires.

There is a atory about looking for­ ward. which every Individual might profitably bear In mind as suggesting how little a forecast concerning the course of the world In general may mean to any one individual. This fan­ tasy was first told some time ago by Lord Dunxany. in a charming short story. Lately, since the November stock exchange collapse, the story has been retold, with variations adapting it to New York, by a comedlah on the stage of that city. As told originally, the story was about a London specu­ lator In.stocks. The speculator. In the fantasy Lord Dunsany wrote, itsd secured on a certain New Year’s Day 1 promise from a potent agency of destiny, that the speculator could make anv one request and that it would be granted. The speculator, after deliber­ ation as to what one gift would serve him most, concluded to ask for an ad­ vanced copy of The London Times of the ensuing New Year’s Day one year later. Ominously, the agent of destiny asked the speculator If he was sure this was the one gift he desired more than any other conceivable one. The speculator was sure It was. Tn due course the advance copy was delivered. Hastily the speculator turned to the Stock Exchange quota­ tions. Carefully he made notes ot what would be the price of certain stocks a year later. Thus equipped with the facts w!;h which he could make his fortune, the speculator, in a mood of agreeable relaxation, thought It would be entertaining to read the remainder of the paper. When he came to the obituary notices he found, lend­ ing all the rest, an obituary about himself, satisfactory infe Its laudatory details, but starkly distressing in the grim evidence that nothing he could do with his foreknowledge of stock quotations could benefit him in this world. If we turn to events in the world of politics and public affairs and If we confine ourselves to matters already arranged for. we can say' there are two that have outstanding Importance. One Is the London conference for the limitation anti reduction of naval arm­ ament. to which our delegates will be aboard ship within little more than a week. We know the conference will take place. Its outcome we cannot know. It would be pleasant to predict It will be successful—and It Is a fact thal the overwhelming weight of the fac­ tors are on the side of Its being succwful, It la almoit inconceivable that the efforts of such men as President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonold should come to nothing. President Hoover with hi/ Quaker conviction and patience,- his engineer’s care about ground work and his resourcefulness and persistence; Prime Minister Mac­ Donald with his idealism faith and power to move multitudes. Yet in spite of the best these two and their associates can do and hove done—in spite of that, the success of this conference rests on the public opinion of lhe world and on the agencies that Inform it from day to-day. By happy fortune this conference can begin and-go forward in the at­ mosphere of good-will; by evil for­ tune, differences over details or other misadventure, accidental or malevo­ lently designed, can be magnified and can cause this (conference tp go the way of the Oebeva conference, to a conclusion and failure. We cannot know the outcome. We can. with reasonable certainlty,' ,esti­ mate the consequences 0? failure. -If this conference should come to noth­ ing the world will put one outstand­ ing interpretation on lhe failure. It will be recorded that five great na­ tions are unable to agree with each other not to engage in a competitive race in naval armament. *7pon such a conclusion the ensuing consequence will be that the race will be on. The race will be on and will go forward at a pace more accelerated than if the conference had never taken place. The other outstanding event in in­ ternational relations will be America's adhering or not adhering to the world court. That this question will come to de­ cision In 1930 is not certain, but Is probable. Such International under­ standings are of slow growth. It was In February. 1921, thal. President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes transmitted the original world court proposal with their favorable recom­ mendations. to the Senate. It was not until Jan. 27, 1927. nearly five years later, that the senate acted, accepting lhe original proposal with five reserva­ tions. Now. four of the five senate res­ ervations have been accepted by the other nations, and as to one reserva­ tion the other nations have proposed a modification. It is on this modification that the coming controversy will turn. As to the time when the senate win act. predic­ tion Is futile. There Is no imperative reason why President Hoover should urge action, nor why the senate should act promptly upon his urging. It has been observed, however, that some senators have already become, sur­ prisingly. eager that action should be be taken fairly soon. What this means Is that public sentiment throughout the country, favorable to the court, has be­ gun to express itself in urging* upon individual senators, and senators wish­ ful to show response would like early action. . Within tha field of domestic poUtto* one coming event Is fixed infallibly. In November next we shall elect a whole house of representatives. 435 and one-third of the senate, 32. Thgt fixed event of November will cast an elongated shadow over every other po­ litical event and every other political activity ot the year. Its shadow has al­ ready been on the tariff debate "that ihas taken place. I The shadow will be acutely on the tariff deliberations as they resume next week. There will be men. man, of them. In both chambers and In both parties who will act on the tariff upon conviction. There will be other* who will act upon self-interest.

Thermometers being as scarce as “hen's teeth." no I one knew exactly how cold it was.

The fall of snow was so heavy that the horses had to, wade or wallow) through drifts all the way arriving hqmc laic and finding lhe snow banks high all around tha, premises. After caring for his team, his first concern was u> round up the, stock, but counting his flock of sheep over and-over, every time there was one sheep missing, and after hunting I around in the deep snow for a long tunc, he gave up the search in despair.; knowing that one of his flock was 1 buried somewhere under a bank of | snow was probably smothered to death I and would never be found till the snow 1 melted away iiTthe spring.

THE DETROIT NEWS SAYS: The Raisin Brook Packing Co. is coming to the rescue with a plan to stave off the threatened meat famine. Everybody knows that the prices of Beef. Lamb and Pork are soaring and lots of folks who like ineat are becoming vegetarians for economic reasons. The Raisin Brook Packing Co. puts its faith into rabbits and is putting its good money into the first rabbit slaughter house and cold storage plant erected in the state. w - , What J. S. Cowgill Thinks of the Raisin Brook Plan: To Whom It May Concern: Knowing how hard 11 is to make money, these days. In moat any line of work, when I heard of the Raisin Brook Packing Co., I de­ cided to investigate. After visiting their plant at Dundee. Mich.. I am convinced they are on the right track from a commercial standpoint to make the rabbit business a success in Michigan. The killing plant which is very modem, trucks and other equip­ ment, along with the school (the only one I have ever heard of), represent a large investment and looks permanent. I Rare invested In 10 does and one buck and will raise these ani­ mals in my back yard for a real profit as their contract sure is fair and guarantees schooling, market and price. I am planning on a nice income in a few months with this start. Yours truly, : MAKE $3,200 A YEAR IN YOUR BACK YARD. The possibilities in this field are unlimited—practically a new Industry in this part of lhe country—millions pf dollars will be made by the people who purchase rabbits NOW—and take advantage of this opportunity. With Raisin Brook rabbits you are in business for yourself—your efforts make the profit*—you cannot fail with the instructions we give you and the frequent visits Sore Throat?

Last Week’s Letter * Little Phyllis Scott is quite seriously ill with Khroat and gland trouble. Mr. and Mrs. 'Harry Sandbrook spent last Tuesday and Wednesday near Blanchard. Harrison Blocher entertained their daughter. Mrs Wm. Strong and hus­ band of near Detroit, last week. Not much news as the roads have been very bad. School began in the Wellman Dis­ trict today after being Shut down for 10 days on account of the. bad weather. John Blocher and Barry Wellman are not Improving. Don’t suffer lhe pain and discom­ fort of sore throat. Use a doctor's prescription called Thoxlne. guar­ anteed to relieve with the very flrat swallow. Gargles and salves are too slow and if they do relieve, it is usu­ ally only temporary. Thoxlne has a double action—it relieves the soreness and goes direct to the. internal cause. It contains no harmful drugs and is safe and pleas­ ant for the whole family. There is nothing better to stop coughing due to Irritated throats. Just ask for Thoxlne; put up ready for use in 35c. 60c. and $1.00 bottles. Money back if not relieved. Sold by Pre­ scription Drug Store —Adv. of our field man. '__________ ”■ J. 8. OQWOILL. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SAYS: , Young rabbits are produced at a low cost be­ cause they are nursed by tiie doe until they are sold and are not fed any grain during the first three weeks. • Mr. Weygandt says that many more breeders are needed in the Middle West to supply the potential demand for rabbit meal in the bigger consuming centers especially Chi­ c-igo. Don’t heiltatA—START NOW. 100 breeding doe* will raise In 1 year 2400 young. These can be soltLas fryers at the age of 3 months at an average weight of 6 pounds. If we pay yon 25c a pound live weight you will receive in cash $4,200. Housing, feeding and other expenses may be deducted and you still have a net profit of $3,200. What other business can you enter with such a nonflnaT investment and guaranteed market that will show you even one quarter of the net profits possible in this business?

M- Court and South Church During 1029 the city constructed the paving on Broadway, between State and Green streets, except that which was done by the state, also put in something over three blocks of paving on South Jefferson street. There is J still in the paving fund $4,652.23. ac­ cording to the city’s books. Some will be added to this fund by residents on the newly paved streets, who will pre­ fer to pay ail the paving costs al one time. A further installment will be made next July, when there will also be raised by taxation something like $5,200, which goes into the special paving fund, according to the charter amendment which was voted some time ago. It is estimated there will be. af­ ter the next tax collection in July, something like $12,000 In this fund. Just what paving will be undertaken in 1030 we do not know: but we know there is quite a little sentiment in the council in favor of paving Michigan avenue, from the present terminus of the.pavlng on that -street north about 30 rods, where it will intersect the paving on M-43. There have also been netltions placed with the council, which we hope will be favorably acted upon, asking the paving of one block west from Jefferson street on Court street, then nqrth on Church street to State. Wc hope that when that shall be done the council can see its way clear to continue the paving this year on Court street west from Church to the Intersection with Ilroadway. That will be of material assistance to traffic in the city and-wlll-be an added con­ venience to the business section. In the not distant future we hope that Michigan avenue can be paved south from State street to Green, and Church street south from State to Green, if that shall be done it will re­ lieve the congestion on certain streets and be a great accommodation.

UOHGH LODGE OFFICERS LOCAL O. E. 8. CHAPTER EN TEBTAINBD LAST TUES­ DAY EVENING MRS. GEORGIA BAUER IS GRAND ELECTA Most Delightful Gathering At­ tended by Over Two Hun­ dred Fifty Stars One of the most enjoyable event* in the history of the local chapter of the Order of Eastern Star was held last week Tuesday evening in the Masonic temple, when about 250 members from this and neighboring chapters gathered to pay honor to Mrs. Sue EL Raudebaugh grand worthy matron of the grand chapter of Michigan. O. E. 8. and other grand chapter officers, par­ ticularly Mrs. Georgina Bauer, who was chosen from this city to fill the position of grand Electa. The meeting started with a 6:30 din­ ner after which a reception to grand officers and visiting matrons and pa­ trons was held in the chapter room followed by a social hour when every­ one proceeded to get acquainted with everyone else. The chapter was opened in form for special meeting and the following grand officers were presented and brought to the east:—Grand Worthy Matron. Mrs. Sue E. Raudebaugh. of Lansing; the grand secretary, Miss Genevieve M. Nauman of West Branch; the grand marshal. Mrs. Lil­ lian Pattison of Lansing; grand Esther. Miss Vivien E. Beers of Belle­ vue: and grand Electa. Mrs. Georgina Bauer of Hastings. Previous engage­ ment dotes prevented the attendance of the other grand officers, all of whom sent regrets. . For the benefit of the grand officers, the officers of the local chapter execut­ ed a beautiful floor drill.' which is a feature of this year's initiator}' work. A few words of welcome from the worthy patron were ably responded to by Mrs. Raudebaugh. Immediately following was a program composed of musical numbers, readings and short taj|ts. Plano solos by Mrs. -Margaret Troxel Cochran of Jackson and Mrs. Lou Maus; a piano duet by Mrs. Edith Johnson and Mrs. Ruth Havens: Ger­ trude Chamberlain and her sister. Mrs. Florence’Zimmer, gave a vocal dtieT; Mrs. Honora Pratt gave two very amusing readings; Mrs. Gertrude Burch and Mrs. Marie Crue, the two special soloslsts of tiie local chapter, <ach sang a beautiful selection: Lyman Chamberlain gave a ten minute talk on the meaning of Eastern Star sym­ bols which was greatly enjoyed. Inter­ spersed were inspiring talks by each of the grand officers. ’ In a tew words worthy intron J. Mort Townsend, presented the grand worthy matron a remembrance from the local chapter. Brother Leon Bauer was escorted to the east where he presented his wife. Mrs. Georgina, with a gift from her own home chapter. This was an oc­ casion fora very pretty ceremony when the sisters representing the five points □f the Star, escorted by the conduc­ tresses. formed about Mrs. Bauer, and cacjj of them in a few nicely chosen words presented her with an armful of flowers. Mr. -Bauer's recent tragic ex­ perience. his long confinement in the hospital and his present frail physical condition made this particular fea­ ture of the evening's events a most touching occasion. ' Other gifts were received by Mrs. Bauer from some of her admirers, one of them being from Mrs. Sadie Hilton of Saugus. Mass. Guests were present from each of the other chapters of the county as well as several from neighboring chap­ ters. The chapter room was very hand­ somely decorated with palms, potted plants and cut flowers under tiie di­ rection of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Wilcox. The dinner was prepared by Mrs. Jennie Mannl and her committee, and the dining room was in charge of Mrs. Marietta Eddy and committee, red be­ ing the predominating color in honor of Electa. During the dinner the Masonic orchestra rendered several beautiful selections. Mrs. Ida McCoy, the regular pianist for the chapter, played for all the spe­ cial features. Mrs. Georgina Bauer became a mem­ ber of chapter No. 7 about 16 years ngo and served as matron in 1916-17. She has always been a faithful worker and is well qualified to fill this honored position to which she has been chosen with credit to her chapter and honor to herself. Hastings chapter No. 7 deep­ ly appreciates the honor that has been extended to it in this selection of one of its esteemed members. 20% Discount On All Zippers Women** All Wool Lo-Zipper*.

GATH­ ERING SUNDAY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT FAVORS PRESENT STATE CRIME COMMISSION Said That Swift and Certain Punishment Was Best Way to Check Crime Prosecuting Attorney W. O. Bauer gave an Interesting talk at a meeting held Sunday afternoon in the Metho­ dist church under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. He said that if the mem­ bers of that body thought the adop­ tion of the 18th Amendment ended their labors they were wrong in their reckoning. There was sure to bo need for their earnest work in the future. Speaking for Barry county there could In no question, he said, about the circuit Judge, sheriff and the prosecut­ ing attorney's offices being in the hands of men who are disposed to en­ force the law: but he reminded hte hearers thkt if they needed officers who would do their duty, the officers need folks who will support and co­ operate with them. He reminded his hearers that the laws, as they exist today, in his Judg­ ment too much favor the criminal and make it altogether too difficult to con­ vict. because of technicalities and be­ cause of the seeming anxiety of law makers to protect the criminal. He said he was glad there te a state crime commission now at work to sug­ gest changes that could be made that would make it easier to convict crimi­ nate and much more difficult -for them to escape. He said that he did not be­ lieve the Jury system ought to be abol­ ished. A majority or at the lowest three-fourth* vote of the Jury ought to be sufficient to convict except In mur­ der cases. He also said that he thought it would be a step In the wrong direc­ tion if the sentencing of criminals should be taken away from the Judge. He said the most feasible way to check crime te by swift and certain punishment when the crime ls com­ mitted and ending the long delays that are now possible. He believed the time had arrived when every county should have a full time prosecuting at­ torney. who would be debarred from all other practice and compelled to de­ vote his entire time and efiorts to the work of hte office and the protection of society. He told the parents, who were pres­ ent at this meeting that the break­ down of the home is the greatest feed­ er of crime at the present time. Chil­ dren properly trained in good homes, he said, are not apt tq become crimi­ nals. It Is from homes that' are broken by divorce or from other caus­ es. or where children are neglected that the young criminals of to-day come. He said that it is still true, and would always be true, that the safeguarding of the home-as well as the safeguarding of the lives " children means the urgent need ot morality and religion In the home.

It ranges from manuscripts ot the 10th century to the choicest editions of the 15th century. One book alone, a 38-)lne Bible, thought by tome to be the first book printed by Gutenberg, would probably bring »100J»0.00 al any auction. Plan­ tln was always a student of typogra­ phy and from a study of his publica­ tions it is evident that hte style was Influenced by the great printers of the 15th century. The library Includes a representative collection of specimens that illustrate the development of printing In Germany. Italy. France. Holland, and Flandert. Ptenlln’a mas­ terpiece and the book that almost brought him financial ruin was a polyglot Bible printed in Greek. Lat­ in, Hebrew and Chaldealc with a French translation of each text. This tremendous work was printed large folio In tWo volumes on a splendid paper hand-made from linen rags. The edition was 8 years In process and special fonts of type and characters* had to be cut. Phillip II of Spain promised financial aid but never gave IL Plantln would never have under­ taken such a work without the promise of aid. for the material cost alone was larger. Many of hte contemporaries claimed it would be fmixjssibie to com­ plete such a work at any price. Wellknown scholars helped him prepare the text. Since Phillip Il’s promise turned out to be nothing more than wasted breath. Plantln had to pay 25,000 florins each year on'the loan contract­ ed for the printing. In addition, of course, he had the expense of running hte establishment. But as usual he per­ sisted, kept up-his optimism, and came through with added prestige for having accomplished the impossible. Not the least Interesting place In the establishment te lhe quaint old Flemish kitchen where many a choice banquet must have been prepared for Plantin's ample table. There you can still see the large open fireplace with iu andirons and grilled iron supports for kettles and stew pots. An old wicker bird-cage te still hanging in the comer. It te not hard to imagine what a bustling place | thte kitchen must have been when। Plantln was at the peak of hte success and popularity. Then you might have seen a roasting lamb being turned I slowly over a bank of glowing coals and | sending delicious odors out into lhe inner court, while the cook was basting the crackling brown surface with steaming gravy. Slews and soups bubbling away in shining copper ket­ tles on either side would send out their appetizing steams. On-the table in readiness for serving would be musty looking bottles of rare old Flemish wine. In all lhe bustle and confusion lhe qomplacent, efficient Madame Plantln. would act as general overseer and Inspector. The kitchen, perhaps, te less changed than any room In the house. Plantln had to abandon hte Antwerp establishment for a time- Authorities were jealous of hte prestige, and var­ ious religious factions accused him of , partially. All of these petty difficulties in addition to the ordinary troubles of a printer made Antwerp too much of i a hot bed for one of even hte tranquil disposition to endure. So he went to Leyden and established himself in busi­ ness there. After a few years the troubles blew over and influential friends paved the way for hte return. He continued printing in Antwerp for the rest of hte life ^ncl evidently en­ joyed less restriction than ever before. * Plantln laid hte success to honesty and hard work. Commentators on hte life, however, claim that natural In­ telligence and shrewdness were in­ strumental in shaping hte career. The Intelligent way in which he con­ ducted his establishment combined with hte love of literature won for him the confidence and friendship of many noted scholars. Without the cooperation of these learned men he could never have edited texts of such recognised authority. Natural shrewd­ ness and a cool business head kept him from succumbing to dishonest and cut­ throat competition. Although he left no literary works under hte own name he will continue to be known as an un­ usual and interesting personality through lhe medium of hte establish­ ment that he loved so well and which, happily, te now preservd from further alteration as s museum.

IMt Just A Cab - Feit. That Appear! To Be the Attitude of the Western U. S. Senators, Pretended Friends of the Farmer A more lUnging rebuke to the west­ ern senators, who have blocked the passage of a tariff bill, could not have been delivered than Hut which was given them by representatives of farm organisations which can be fairly as­ sumed to speak for the 2,000,000 far­ mers of lhe slates of Minnesota, Mon­ tana, North and South Dakota, Ill­ inois and Wisconsin. ' Largely at the behest of Senator Bor­ ah, who represented the west and as­ sumed to speak for its people, Presi­ dent Hoover, against hi* own better judgment, called a special session ot congress which convened about six weeks after the President was Inaugur­ ated. Tiie call issued by the President re­ quested two specific things of this special session: One was the enact­ ment of a farm relief bill; the other was the passing of a tariff bill, which would raise duties on farm products, so aa to put farming on an equality with the other industries of this country. The house of representatives prompt­ ly got busy soon after the special ses­ sion was convened and passed lhe farm relief bill in accord with the principles suggested by President Hoo­ ver and advocated by him in his cam­ paign. Before thc special session, and In Its earlier weeks, the house com­ mittee considered changes to be made in the tariff regulations that ’ would benefit the farming industry. The new tariff bill was passed by the house by an overwhelming majority early in June. Then the matter was up to the senate. Western senators Immediate­ ly began a talk-fest. They did fi­ nally manage to put across the farm re­ lief bill. Incorporating with it provis­ Ions that they knew the house would not sanction and that the President would veto If they passed them. Still with that folly for which they have shown such aptitude, the senate passed their kind of a farm relief bill. It was then sent to a conference committee who fooled along with It for some lime until the house made It plain that they would never concur in the changes which lhe senate had made in amend­ ing the bill. Finally, but not grace­ fully. the senate backed down and ac­ cepted the bill substantially as it pasaad the house, so that much waa done. But when It came to amendng lhe house’tariff bill so as to favor the farming Industry, there began another exhibition on the part of lhe senate of “how not to do it." They ran off into all sorts of side Issues, started several investigations, talked aimlessly, kept on talking until congress con­ vened in regular session In December, were still talking at the time of ad­ journing for the holiday recess. Yet these same western senators claim to be the devoted friends of the farmer. You would think to hear them that no interest is quite so dear to their hearts as the welfare of agriculture: yet they have spent the belter part of a year In doing nothing about it except gab. gab, gab. It was not to be wondered at, there­ fore that, getting tried of this nauseat­ ing delay and cheap talk on the part of their pretended friends in the sen­ ate. the farm organization leaders, who represent 2.000,000 farmers, at last put a page advertisement in the Washing­ ton Post and in the New York Times, calling specific attention to the fact that relief had been promised a year ago. The senate had been in session for three-fourths of a year and yet no tariff bill had been enacted. Following this the Minneapolis Trib­ une, a staunch newspaper of very high type, itself bought and paid for two pages of advertising published in the !*ame two papers, calling upon thc senate to do something for the farmere and not just talk about it. Tiie publication of these two adver­ tisements has stirred things up a bit in Washington. It may be tiiat we shall now see some action taken by the senate that will show some disposition to meet the pledge made by both par­ ties in the election of 1928 for farm relief through the tariff; and we may get something. Let us hope so. The spectacle of these western senaI torlal gabbers filling the senate cham­ ' ber with their vapid hot air, delaying for nearly a year such action as ought । not to have taken more than three months at the outside, will not Impress the country with the sincerity and good sense of these Western members of the senate, who are responsible for this unnecessary delay, and who claim to be the special friends of the farmer.

MELLON Secretary of the Treasury Forecasting the future course of business can never be done with any certainty that It will be borne out by subsequent events. No one can fully appraise Uie complex forces which are always at work and it is hazardous to attempt doing so. I see nothing, however, in the present situation that is either menac­ ing or warrants pessimism. During the winter months there may be some slackness or unemployment, but hardly more than is usual at this season each year. I have every confidence that there will be a revival of acUvtty in the spring and that during lhe coming year the country will make steady progress. In the credit situation the trend of money rates is downward. There is plenty of credit available and we have reason to expect that the rates for new capital tn building construction and expansion will besuch as to facilitate the promotion and accomplishment of new under­ takings. Statements from the executives of railroads, public utility and in­ dustrial concerns during lhe president's recent conference were, almost without excepUon. to the effect that their expenditures for new con­ struction and expansion in 1030 will be as much or more than in 1939. The government's finances are in a sound condition, which warrants the cut in taxes, and the government itself is in a position to do its part in helping the country to meet and solve the problems which are ahead.

IMO There’s Money In Properly Conducted Dairying * * In Good Times and Bad! Nearly A Quarter Million Dollars Paid to Barry Farmers in 1929 by This Company About 300 good money making milk Cows put into this County by us during 1929. Reduction in the present price of milk is beyond our control ... it is caused by a SURPLUS of DAIRY PRODUCTS! There are approximately 30,000,000 LBS. SURPLUS BUTTER ON THE MARKET! If 5,000,000 Farmers would use 1 extra pound of butter per week for 6 weeks, that' surplus would be wiped out! Don’t produce more milk when the price is low . . . PRODUCE the SAME AMOUNT OF MILK from FEWER COWS . . . that cuts ddwn the cost of production ! This Is a Splendid Time To .... Veal the Calves . . . Discard the Scrubs . . . Feed With Care , . . Use a Pure Bred Sire .. . . Eat More Butter I Here Are A Few Outstanding Benefits Of This Company To Barry County Farmers: During the past 12 years we have paid them about $3,000,000 for milk. During the past four years we have put 1100 good milk cows on Barry County farms. We have supplied a steady permanent market for Barjy County milk ■ through hard times as well as good times. What of the Future ? 1930 Is Up To You! By the united efforts of the farmers and dairymen, and with our co-operation as in the past, Barry County will become one of the BEST DAIRYING COUN­ TIES in the STATE, with good dairy farms worth from $200.00 to $250.00 per acre! ■ Buckle your belt a little tighter and resolve that 1930 shall see a careful'check-up on every’ cow of your herd, so you may know if SHE IS PAYING YOU MONEY, or is just a “STAR BOARDER,’’ living at the expense of the other Cows. MAKE HER INTO BEEF .AND GET A COW THAT PAYS ... IF SHE IS BOARD­ ING ON YOU! Our experience and advice are at your disposal in helping you solve any of your dairy problems.

The invasion ot the American movie Is a favorite sob­ story for all London newspapers. Famous old play houses are being more and more transformed into Talkie Palaces”—but people like them, and their prosperity grows apace. In fact, play going is a popular pastime here. One sees people lined up at all the theatres or sitting on little stools the management provides, waiting for the opening of the box office for the sale of the cheaper seats. We have seen two first rate plays— "The First Mrs Fraser" by St. John Irvine, a society play with clever lines and amusing situations, by a splendid cast. It's a part that I am sure may fall to Ethel Barrymore If it's brought across to America. It would fit her like a glove. It is in its 210th perform­ ance here. Tire other play wm "Mur­ der on the Second Floor" a mystery play with a very good plot and a unique one. It wm the first play the King has seen since his illness.

There are so many interesting things to tell about London and what we have been doing it's hard to even give the briefest outline. One of lhe first things we did of course was to see the guards change at St. James Palace. Thc King and Queen are spending ChristmM at Sandringham so we didn't go to Buckingham, but to the Prince of Wales' London residence, which Celestia says really offers the more picturesque background of thc two, because of its court Inclosed on Superbly beautiful three sides and cosily viewed from the furniture — genuine street and sidawalk.

It hu a very love­ ly but simple interior, in fact. I think it's my ideal church. It's very old like most London churches. There wm a fine choir of men. The service had very little form, and save for the prayers for the Royal family might have been given in any Protestant Episcopal church at home. A big ChristmM tree covered with lights and toys stood by the pulpit In the nave with a duplicate on the stately old porch of the church outside. Canon Elliot, a young man with a fine voice and winning personality, preached a Christmas sermon that would have been enjoyed in any church In America. He spoke without notes. He said he didn't wish to preach a sermon this particular Sunday, but Just wanted to give “a sort of Christmwy message" and Mked with a smile —"How could anyone possibly deliver anything but a ChrlstmMy message, standing so close to such a Jolly Christ­ mM tree?” It wm a simple straight­ forward appeal for more kindliness and friendliness in the world, more for­ bearance, and forgiveness of wrongs and grievances which would bring the true ChristmM spirit into our hearts and homes, and of course he couldn't help but quote Dickens and the "ChristmM carol" when he dosed. A friendly woman had given me a prayer book as soon as I sat down. The congregation sang Charles Wesley's .lovely ChristmM hymn “Come Thou Long Expected*Jesus" and "Once in Royal David's Olty." both in our hymn bodks at home. A warder or official bowed and smiled as we passed out It wm a kindly, cordial atmosphere In this historic old church, whgre conservatism and reserve might be more readily expected. We were all impressed most pleasantly and didn't feel at all like aliens or strangers. We would like to return for another service, but with our limited time and the fascinating list of many noted churches in London Town. I fear we cannot. This is all I can write this lime, but I hope to continue with another letter in a day or two, and not let events get so far ahead of me.

Inserted carefully in those bocks are the prescription formulas which the local physician* have written and the druggist has dispensed—often for a generation or more back. In a language eloquent to those who can interpret their somewhat hieroglyphic characters, these old pre* •enption files tell of many a crisis in the lives of the people of the cooflhunity, from childhood lo old age, and they often bear silent testimony to devoted service in the hour of emergency by physician and pharmacist. While the Prescription Druggist must often combine the duties of merchant and professional man in order to maintain his pharmacy, his chief pride is in the work be does back of his prescription counter, surrounded by medicinal agentsgathered from all quarters of the globe to combat disease and promote the health of mankind. -MERCK For Prescriptions — Physicians pre­ scribe and Druggists dispense the pure products of Merck’s laboratories.

However, we always things: worked together in good faith and Take the Hastings Center rood. I good feeling on any program which the understand that one of the outstanding majority of the commission believed to criticisms directed at lhe county road be wise. I want to say right here that commission Is that they pro|x»cd to when the board of supervisors let Mr. carry thc - Hastings ------ jg—----*-------J straight Center road Carlisle step off the commission they across a swamp, from the present east­ \pst, in my Judgment, the best-posted ern terminus of lhat road where it Jogs to the north, and to bridge Fall creek In doing fw Why should not the com­ mission pi’n that way? The original petition tor this road called for that very thing. Tiie original action taken by the board of supervisors themselves directed that it be built straight across the swamp and across Pall creek to a Junction with tiie State Road. And yet one would infer, from the stale­ menu of some members ot the board, that the commission had done some dreadful thing in planning to go straight across thc swamp and across Fall creek, when Ute original petition called for It and the board of super­ visors had themselves authorized it. It can be seen that in this matter the commission is being criticised for some­ thing tor which they are not to blame. You save in buying and in using Furthermore, no road commission in Barry county or in any other county. In my Judgment, would have them­ selves authorized thc construction of two county roads in Hastings township a mile opart. If we were to continue that kind of road work in Barry coun­ ty. and the people were expected to pay for It. instead of having ultimately a system or 25 miles to each township wc would have 60 miles to the town­ ship at least, which would be 960 miles for the county to build and maintain instead of the present 200 miles. I con­ sider that-'unreasonable; yet the.respon­ sibility for such a possible situation rests with Ute board of supervisors themselves. Take another matter, which was settled while I was a member of the board. The road program for 1929 which thc commission adopted for it­ self would have called for $18,810 of county road bonds to build about two miles of road In Rutland township to complete the south river road to Mid­ dleville. It also called for about seven and one-half miles of county road in the township of Irving, which has MILLIONS OF POUNDS been constructed this year at a cost of $97,695. making a total proposed USED BY OUR GOVERNMENT construction of a little over $116500.

FKBKVABY S. 19M SUPERVISORS ACi| CEPT RESIBIUTKM Frandsen’s---- “where the Customer must be Satisfied”----- Frandsen’s (Continual from page on#) even if all who go to the polls shall vote on the question of continuing ■ county extension work. Many who go will not care to vote on this matter. They will think it is up to the super­ visors and lel them settle it. That is our Judgment of how the people of Barry county will act on this;! matter, which is very Important to them. What is It alt about anyway? What]I ' does the county raise by tax for ex­ tension servtee? Il raises only one-, fourth of one mill to carry on exten- l slon work. Thgl means that one who I is assessed for 11.000 will pay 25 cents. I Thc man who is assessed for $4,000 will;I pay 8100. The dty of Hastings will I Ky one-fourth. All Hastings will gain;I it will be whatever benefit it will be I to the farmers. Yet we believe the!I majority of the people of this city will j I favor continuing extension work. There are very few counties In the I state of Michigan that have more to I - gain from the benefits of extension I work than has Barry. Unless some* I thing is done In an Intelligent way and I some organized effort is made all the I time to encourage the development ofil certain sections of this county, the vatue'l of properly In some townshipa will fur-'I ther decline. There are some townships/ In Barry county that ought to be de- |i voting a lol of attention to reforesta-;I tion. Under County Agent Rood a I eplcndld start has been made in that" I ’pflrcctlon. It needs to be followed up. Il But it will not be if this county aban-J| dons extension work. There are other.I parts of Barry county that ought to be I devoted to grape culture. There are in I Barry county large districts where I grapes could be grown as successfully I as In Van Buren county. It needs JI someone to lead off in that matter. I There are other areas that are expect-JII ally adapted to growing certain crops. I or carrying on different types of agri- I cultural work, but unless something I is done to stir up interest in such I projects no move will be made towards,! such development. There are thou- I sands of acres In Barry county, par- I ticularly In the west and south parts I of It. that will go back and become of I less and less value unless there is I someone to encourage the growing of I such crops as those particular lands I are adapted for. The loss of taxes I from abandoned farms would soon bring I the county's tax'rate higher than it I would be lo take care of the quarter I of a mill tax we have been paying for I extension work. The cost to the county I Is so very small that an attempt to I save money by dropping a quarter of a I mill from the county tax seems ridlc- II pious, In order to knew just what the sup-! port of a county agent and county club worker means to the average farm­ er of Barry county we will take an average farm, which we will Consider I io be 80 acres, and the average assessinent at MO an acre. That means 13.200 asseMinent. Twenty-five cents I on the SI,000 would mean tliat the owner of that average 80 acres would pay .87 1-2 cents to continue workers on the Job doing the same work as Mr. Rood has been doing for several years and continuing Miss Boyle In her I work as county club agent, which she has been carrying on for over two years. Miss Boyle ha;.been very success fuLand her record Is outstanding. She has I interested over 550 boys und girls In club activities and they are at II now. She has Interested something over 400 I women In club activities and they arc at it now. That means that a thou- I sand people have had their attention directed toward things that are of value to thein. and will always be of value lo them* by having a club worker on I the Job. If Barry county votes against I extension work that kind of work will be ended. That work will cease because the government will not continue to I 'pay Its share, nor the state its share, nor the college to furnish the services of its experts for that type of work unless we have and support extension service. We sincerely hope that the good Judgment of tlie people of Barry county will be exercised in this matter. If it is. there can be no doubt that the county will continue its county agent and the county club worker, who are I such useful factors In/the life of tills I ' county. If that kind of work shall be I abandoned, thc drop in real estate values in Barry county will be more I pronounced in thc future that it has I been In the past. As Dean Davenport ] said in his communication to the Ban- I ner. In which he urged the continua- I tion of extension work: “If it were I dropped for a year of two not such a I great deal of difference would be no- I tlced. But in five years or such a I matter, Barry county would show it is I lagging behind neighboring counties." I Dean Davenport is asnan whose Judg- I inent can well be taken In this matter. I For ovet thirty years he was at the I head of agricultural extension work hi I the state of Illinois, where so much has I been accomplished by extension work- I ers for thc benefit of that state. Farm- I Ing will be more apt to be profitable I the more farmers know what the sclen- I tlfic men engaged in extension work I reconnnend tn handling a farm. We I doubt if the farms of Barry county I have readied such a high state of de- I velopmcnt that-their owners can afford I lo say that they do not want, or do I not care, for the knowledge which the I specialists in the national department I of agriculture and in Die state college I can bring to them in carrying on farm I work. I A local woman who thought her hus­ band wasn't attentive enough tried the old schemer-of arpuslng his Interest again by pretending to Interest herself in another man. But she says that in­ stead of again lavishing looks of love upon her the husband began to cast looks of pity on the other fellow.

I According to that law. the matters I taken into consideration in fixing thc I1 amount of help tn be given to any dis­ trict are many. First is considered the T amount of property in the district sub11 Ject to school tax. In some ot thc 11 northern counties the assessed valuaI' tion of all the property within many I districts is so small that the tax burden I on the people living in those districts I1 is oppressive. Insurances are on record I showing that to maintain a'school in I (some of the sparsely settled districts if L northern Michigan, where the land Is I poor and incomes very small, the school I tax is as high as six or seven per cent. I In other districts it runs three and I i four-per cent, which is an oppressive> I1 school tax. There are many districtsi where that tax will run about two per• Ijuer cent: and the number where It is। I between one and two per cent is quite! I1 large in this state. I Thc Turner bill proposes that a ccr-I1 tain sum from the general fund of the■ I! state, not to exceed $2,000,000 in any one■ I year as we understand It. will be dlvldI ed among these school districts where■ the school tax Ls $10 or more on th-■ I! $1,000 of assessed valuation. I In fixing thc rate, which is left with। I I’M state superintendent of public in­ I 'traction, several factors arc taken into। I consideration, one of them being the■ 1I rate of school tnx, especially If’ it is< $10.00 on the $1,000. or above that. An­ other is tlie amount, of property asses­ sed within the district. Thc smaller the total assessment the relatively I larger will be the percentage of help I that will be given io thc district. An­ other matter considered is the number 'of pupils in thc district who attend ; ‘chooL ' Word from Lansing "states there wir be appropriated this year under thprovisions of thc Turner act $1.978260 ' prior to tire close of the fiscal year which ends June 30 next. This money lit In addition to the more than $20,000.ooo given the school districts annually from the primary school fund. Dis­ tricts liavlng a school tax in excess of $10.00 per $1,000 on assessed valuation are eligible to participate in this fund under the Turner law. Under this law Barry county will re­ ceive $5,530. Eaton county $5,782. It will help very much in some northern ciuntles.

Another cry Is that (he industry is always asking higher rates, when the fact is that every utility executive worth his salt is bending every ener­ gy toward lower rates, because lower I rates mean greater consumption, and ' greater consumption is their hope of I Our wide experience, gained through yeArs of careful study, anti the ?quip- -•-A—-thorough—undoF— standing of our/profession and a kindly per­ sonal interest in those we sen e tire recogn.ized by those who employ Funeral Service Hastings Michigan ’ We believe a prosperous farmer or merchant is an asset to the community; we believe that a well stocked compjete lumber yard is an asset to. the town and surrounding country, we also believe that we have as complete a stock of Lumber and Building Materials as any lumber yard in any city in Michigan up to fifty thousand population, and that we can, and do render the public a real expert service, a service not usually rendered through a retail yard, in helping to plan your buildings, and then to draw for you working plans from which the building is to be built. ■-.■JTWT- VOiCfTtseir fitTIereTtse'drpiffine uUlltira .

I I ' Only one passenger was at the office —a young lady from California. An­ other lady had made a reservation but evidently overslept. The waiting-room at the Airway's office resembled that of an up-to-date depot. At one desk you can arrange bookings to any Important city in Europe, even to Egypt or In­ dia. A notice on the wall told of plans now under way to extend mall and pas­ senger service to Australia, and so bring this important dominion 18 days nearer to London. Another project will connect with air-lines Ln China. I / noticed, however, that certain "reser­ vations" are made when connections with other airways are Involved. Over Imperial Airway routes the Company guarantees to "get you there" or re­ fund the money. When transfers to .other lines are necessary, however, a phrase similar to the one so familiar in bond sales literature 1* used, viz:—"We do not guarantee these schedules, but to the best of our knowledge they are correct." If an Imperial Airway plane Is delayed the Company refund* money at once; if a plane Is forced down en­ route, the jiassengers receive an equiva­ lent of thc air mileage lost. The auto trip from London to Croy­ don was the dullest part of the whole journey. I was anxious to get going, but a train or a lumbering truck always seemed to be directly in front nolding us up. We started for the atfport just at dawn, and the Thames embankment was a symphony in soft shades of blue, punctured by orange points of light.

POPULARITY •held by Goodyear Tires 'p HE single record that, in our opinion, really counts with.careful tire-buyers is the popularity record ■which Goodyear has held for fifteen years: “More peo­ ple ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind.’’ It simply says that an overwhelming percentage of your fellow-motorists get the most value and every-day satiafttction out of Goodyear Tires. The reason, of course, is that Goodyyear builds nearly one-third of all tires sold in America, enjoys lowest costs, can give greater values.

They knew that the temptation* of un­ limited power are too great to be restat­ ed. and that the human instinct most dangerou* to humanity I* to dominate, oppress and exploit otnar*. to the demand for the Increase of powers of government which la the most outstanding phase of politics the world over, is expressed, a* Nletache said, the atavistic craving for despo­ tism.

The Fascism of Italy, lhe Bolshevism of Russia arc expression* of the loss of faith In thc virtue of self-government. And in IhU republic, even, the air Is filled with thc demand for the surren­ der of Individual freedom to political despotism. There Is no essential difference be­ tween the radical of the bolshevlst type who would centralise power In the state through the abolition of tne in­ stitution of private property, making tile nation a gigantic poorhouse and prison, and that of International fi­ nancier* who would destroy thc Iden­ tity of nation* and place lhe control of the world in the hand* of a small economic group. The proposal of Ed­ ward N. Hurley for the control of the world** resources by a few corporations and industrial leaders is an expression of the same spirit which animated the communist or radical socialist who would extirpate Individualism. It Is assumed that In thc surrender of individual and national independ­ ence beneficent ends would be served. So wc might believe If we did not know that the masses cannot safely commit their destinies to desjioUsm in the be­ lief that It will be benevolently exer­ cised. The world has produced only one Oeorge Washington, he who, offered a crown, refused It. did not neck the Pres­ idency and retired from that great office voluntarily, glad to go back to thc jieace of Mount Vernon.

Have you ever been awakened in the morning by the noise of a hundred chirping sparrows breakfasting off the red berries on a mountain ash tree? The noise is cheerful, if not musical, and they seem to be holding a thanks­ giving service out of purt enjoyment and passing a vote of thanks. They are not worrying about future supplies of berries and seem utterly oblivious o! where the berries came from or how nature supplied them- They remind us of professional political agitators who hold noisy meetings, discuss in­ dustries and condemn private enter­ prise. Such agitators have as little conception of the sources from which employment and dally bread and but­ ter flow, as have the sparrows of their supply of berries. Nature supplies lhe sparrows with the berries Just as stored capital and experienced brains plan industries and make employment pos­ sible. The berries must grow and ripen in spite of the elements and the handicaps with which they have to contend. Industries must grow and furnish employment In spite of the political handicaps with which they constantly have to contend. The sparrows and the agitators enjoy mak­ ing the big noise and eating the berries which they do not provide. It takes more brains to r>lse berries than to eat I them. ACCIDENTS OF MENTAL ORIGIN. Ninety per cent of aoCldenta are of mental origin, according to Dr. Harold S. Hulbert of the Department of Men­ tal and Nervous Diseases, University of Illinois. In an address before the National Safety Council. Dr. Hulbert explained that these accidents are the result not of Insanity or mental incompetence, but of thoughtlessness or carelessness. This authority says that a person who Is comfortable in mind and body, adjusted to his working and domestic life, and is not ill, perplexed and dis­ contented or fatigued stands but a small chance ot becoming the causative factor In an accident. On the other hand, anger, fatigue, surprise and oth­ er such factors are the causes of many accidents says Dr. Hulbert. We cannot, of course, cure such emo­ tional disturbances as anger and sur­ prise, nor can we offset fatigue, but the public should understand these causes of accidents and guard against them. A worker who grows tired should be­ come more careful because of-it. An automobile driver who is suffering from some .slight Illness should watch his driving more carefully than when he is In good health. Once we manage to exert some control over the “mental haiard." our accident record will begin t<? decrease. OIL IN 1910. Tlie present year may prove to be a dangerous one for the oil Industry, ac­ cording to thc Lamp, published by thc Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. The Industry has entered 1930 with a very large increase In surplus stocks of oil products. Yet no one forecasts an Increase In consumption great enough to absorb tills supply. The re­ sult, if the nation continues to produce and Import crude on present schedules, will be a trmendous excess that must ba stored or wasted. —-------------------It is an error, sayj the Lamp, to be lieve that the oil Industry's problems have been solved by curtailment of crude production. This Is but half the remedy. Thc most important part must be to reduce thc run ot crude to refineries to the point where there will be no undue increase In oil products. At present, consumption of oil is more or less stabilised. It cannot Incrcau? many fold In a short tone as It did in past years. Efficient producUon inut-t be obtained by adjusting supply to dcmandr • Professor Oeborp. noted scientist, says that man la fifty million years old and is no kin of thc ape.

A man who has had wide experience I in dealing with criminal practices of all 'types was recently quoted as saying that “one of the rarest specimens in - the world Is a criminal who U thrifty and I think W per eent ot the peo. pie who are thrifty never become en­ tangled with the criminal law.". This is indeed a timely observation l when so much thought Is being given to the subject of crime in America. Opinions may differ as to the cause of the present widespread practice of crime and opinions likewise kill differ as to the remedies. Il is fiot the pur­ pose of Uils article to set forth the as­ sumption that thrift Is a cure-all for this great social disease. There is. in fact, no single specific, but thrift surely is among lhe remedies that might be offered as helpful. > There may be many individual ex­ ceptions to the rule but in the vast majority of cases a man who really Is thrifty does not Indulge In criminal practices. By thrift wc do not mean merely getting ahead financially: we mean thc thrift of crcdltaoic personal progress and honest success. The average man <Jf thrift has learned the lesson that rightful progress comes on­ ly through slow, steady accumulation of material resources, thc sensible em­ ployment of time and energy and a constant effort at self impovement. In­ to such a plan of progress, criminal practices are not llkily to intrude. It also is lb be remembered that many a criminal took bls first down­ ward step when driven to desperation through extravagant habits. Any Jurist of experiences will tell you that a con­ siderable percentage of lhe criminal cases brought before him may be in­ cluded in this classification. It cannot be said that thrift is the only cure for crime. Yet, if every per­ son in this country above the age of childhood were to become habitually | thrifty it would seem a safe statement to make that under such conditions there would be far less crime In the United States than is the case today. -By S.

Investi­ gation proves that .one of every five shovelsful of fuel goes to heat the water in your furnace coil and so ia wasted from your heating system. That’s something to think about. And, too, when your furnace fire is low or out—no hot water. Not ao good, either. To prevent this enormous waste, engineers have developed a new gas water heater that gives constant 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 the old wasteful furnace coil forever.

Then they carried Black, tits wife, daughter and mother to that city by auto. ■ . Black and his three brothers bought some onion land along Gug River, west of Orangeville, about a year ago, paid a little down, and then proceeded co do nothing. Officers say tliat they spent most of their time in drinxing. gamb­ ling and carousing. Two of tlie broth­ ers broke out of the Wayland jail, anu left. About a month ago another brother was taken out of .the state. The recent action of the Allegan officers cleans out lhe last remnant, for which the people living in that section are not expected to shed very copious tears. Allegan county hu spent a consid­ erable sum in aiding them with no appreciable benefit, Mid finally In com­ pliance with Qjf law. took them back where they came from. SCHOOL REPORT.

Feb. 10.—All previous Fanners-Week attendance records were sunk without a trace by the tides of visitors which surged about the Michler —n C —» — ZCollege — gan Stale campus last week. Eight thousand people watched the events on lhe general program at the Thursday evening meeting and one thousand guests attended the Farm Bureau banquet at the same lime. Dairy breed association meetings on Monday brought larger groups than usual to these special meetings and the banquets given by the associations had to be conducted under special rules to take care of the .overflow which could not get Into the regular banquet rooms. No partiality was shown by the guests of the College for any one at­ traction. The only complaint heard was that the number of shows, ex­ hibits. and meetings was so great that it was impossible to see and hear everything on the program. The State Farm Bureau decided to hold their annual meeting preceding Farmers Week next year to avoid thc crowded conditions which they found this year. They will meet at the Col­ lege during November. CONSEQUENCES OR BENEFITS. 1 The tariff is one of the factors that • make the wheels of Industry go around.

Snow and Ice on the ground and on lakes and running streams cuts off the supply ot natural food and water from the wing­ ed and four-footed denizens of thc great world and causes incalculable suffering. . It is a kind and generous act to make food and water avallible to creatures deprived of It by winter weather. Ed­ itors have prevented much suffering by bringing thlA matter to public atten­ tion and every family will derive pleasure and satisfaction by aiding in the humane cause. SOUTH THORNAFFLE.

For the Ford Motor Company believes that its full duly is not only to make a good automobile at lhe lowest possible price, but to see that there is no waste, extravagance, or undue profit in any transaction from the time the car leaves the factory until it is delivered to your home. It is obvious tjiat hard-won savings in production will be of little value if they arc sacrificed later through excessive selling costs. • EvERY purchaser of a motor car has the right to know how much of thc money he pays is for tlie car itself and how much is lukeu up by dealer charges. If these charges are too high, one of two things must happen. Either the price of the car must be raised or thc quality lowered. There is no other way. The money Safety time more profitably in other lines. Tlie motion was carried, a motion was made and seconded that we adjourn. The entertainment was furnished by a few member* of the club.

Tlie difference, ranging from 25% to nearly 50%, comes right off the price you pay for the car. The business of the Ford dealer is good because he makes a small profit on u large number of sales instead of a large {profit on fewer sales. He knows, loo, tliat the extra dollur-for-dollar value of the car makes it easier to sell and more certain Io give satisfactory service after purchase. Consider also that the Ford car is delivered Io lhe purchaser equipped with a Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, an extra steel-spoke wheel, and bright, enduring Rustless Steel for many exterior metal parts, in addition to four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers aud fully enclosed fourwheel brakes. If for any reason you wish to buy certain small accessories, you will find that t|icse, too, are sold at the usual Ford low prices. Replacement parts are also available at low prices through Ford dealers in every section of the country. saving of at least 850 to’ $75 to every purchaser in These addition to thc still greater savings made possible by economies in manufacturing.

Their extensiv-j knowledge of eight­ cylinder engii.es has resulted in a car of remarkably sound basic design, as well as one which has many advanced features. H Its 8s-horsepower engine deve'ops one horsepower for every 37 pounds of car weight. This explains why few cars are os fast—why few, if any, can climb hills so quickly or accelerate so swiftly In traffic. Those who have driven it know how wall It marils the description, the cor w.th Supe­ rior performance." (TThe New Oakland's power plant is alio exceptionally rmoofh. Its inherent eight-cylinder smoothness has been increased by a complete down-draft fuel system—new type cylinder heads insuring uniform com­ bustion-laminated steel spring and rubber engine mountings. 5 Considering Its superior performance, exceptional smoothness and the beauty of its new Fisher bodies, the New Oakland Eight Is very moderately priced.

Rules for bathing In the Benedictine monasteries of ths Fourteenth century have been discovered at London, Eng­ land, to the regulations of Sb Augus­ tine’s, Canterbury and St. Peter’s, Westminster. Monks were allowed to take baths twice a year—before Christmas and Pentecost. Previous to the Fourteenth century, four baths were allowed an­ nually. but this number was cut In half because bathing was considered a luxury except when necessary, for the sick. Only four monks could bnthe In one day, so It took more than two weeks to accommodate the sixty monks In the monastery. No baths were allowed on Bunday. The monks had servants to wash them. At Westminster these servants received extra food and beer on "bath days" TheJiaths were taken sitting In a tub. Instead of standing, as was prob­ ably the secular custom at lhe time. Monks were not allowed to stay In the baths to "souk" after they had been washed. Af first' bathing was conducted In complete silence, but “that good cus­ tom hks been entirely abandoned In these mali'm times" of thc Fourteenth century.

Hastings and Olivet ore torplay the varsity game, which promises to be a good, snappy battle. Olivet has a fine lot of lads on the squad, who play ex­ cellent basket ball. As a preliminary, Middleville will play Woodland, the two schools being strong rivals. Due to athletic misun­ derstandings between the schools, they have not played each other this year, nor can they clash in the tournament as they are in different classes. So the Saturday night contest gives promise of being a hot and furious one. as they win not come together again this sea­ son. Hastings residents remember the keen rivalry with Charlotte for many years past, so can readily understand the feeling between Middleville and Woodland. Nick Beam of Battle Creek will officiate at the games. An Inter­ esting time Is in store for all who at­ tend Saturday night. ' MISS MOON, THB DIMOTOB, HIGHLY COMMENDS LOCAL FIRE CH EF MAKES REPORT FOR 1929 $2,286,402 IN JANUARY Ordinarily very little canvassing for insurance is done by the agents of the Windstorm Company of this city dur­ ing January. The weather is usually so unfavorable that soliciting insurance is about the last thing one would think of. But despite the handicaps of bad weather and Impassable roads the agents of the Windstorm Company add­ ed S2.2M.402 worth of new insurance for the company last month. That is a fine record for January, and indi­ cates that the agents of the company are on their toes, so that when the weather is favorable they will make a large showing. The Windstorm Company deserves all the success that Is coming their way. Last year they added over $37,000,000 to the amount of insurance in force, 'rhe way the agents have started out in January this year, when usually almost no insurance is written, is an indication that the representatives of the com­ pany are going to do a good stroke of business in 1830. The company wound up the year 1929 with over $452,000,000 Insurance on its books, making it one of the financial giants of the country In its class. WhUe it looks as if it would be too much to expect them to reach the half billion mark this year, the agents propose.to do a good Job of trying for It and may succeed. It is certain that they will Increase the vol­ ume in force by a good margin. The work of the agents is made easier be­ cause of the fine record of the com­ pany for taking care of losses prompt­ ly and satisfactorily, and because the company starts out the new year with considerably over $368,000 cash in the bank with which to meet its losses. ------------- house here before Commissioner Gib­ TALENT IN THB FLAY bons of Lansing, representing the State Department of Labor and Industry.

A special section will be found devoted entirely to motor cars and allied industries, containing also the announcements of the vari­ ous manufacturers of motor cars, as well as those of dealers. Pictures of many of the new 1930 models will be seen, accompanied by in­ teresting and instructive articles concerning the different cars. A full page announcement of the Auto Show Week will be found on page 8 of this special auto section. The readers of the Banner are urged to give some attention to this automobile section and make a special effort to visit the several show rooms during the week and see these fine dis­ plays.

As a boy I knew him and listened to hfs forceful discussion of political issues. When I came to Hastings in 1895. Mr. Colgrove already had an extensive and well es­ tablished business. He was then prac­ ticing alone. Judge Smith, with whom he had been associated before that time for many years, had gone upon tlie bench in 1891. During 23 years of intimate association In the office and In the trial of cases. I grew to know Mr. Colgrove as well perhaps as it is possible for on.e man to know another. He was a multl-slded man. Interested in his younger days In athletics, he possessed a splendid physique, domi­ nating persona'lty. matchless eloquence and a sentiment of sympathy which made him sought by those men and causes needing strong championship. His tact with Juries was intuitive. His energy almost unbounded. He was in­ terested in farming, in banking, in manufacturing, in building, in business, in fraternal work, in public service, in civic affairs as well as in the practice This fine 15J Garland movement fit- dj EA of law.

Educated in the public schools at Charlotte and In Olivet College, he studied law in Eaton Rapids and was admitted to the bar of Michigan April 17, 1879, his 21st birthday. Soon there­ after, with his brother-in-law. Ransom Cooper, he began practice In Reed City under the name of Cooper & colgrove. In the early 80's he came to Barry county and formed’an association with Honorable Clement Smith, which* con­ tinued for several years. He was elect­ ed Prosecuting Attorney In 1882 and served In that capacity until 1889 when four malkr Amrwirli in he became a member of the Michigan shanks. Priced M Bute Senate.

He was chcsen by the National Committee of his party to accompany Roosevelt through Michigan, and to follow Bryan through Missouri and in the west. He early became an advocate of good roads, and read, wrote, talked and act­ ed for good roads tor the 25 years dur­ ing which he was president of the Michigan State Good Roads Associa­ tion. When he first took up the ad­ vocacy of good mads, the subject was unpopular. Tn a large measure he di­ rected the creation of public sentiment friendly to the cause. He it was who superintended the preparation of the constitutional amendment of 1919 au­ thorizing a bond Issue of fifty million dollars, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to highway construction. He managed the campaign on the sub­ mission of the proposed amendment and the result of Its adoption by the largest majority ever given a proposi­ tion submitted to referendum in this state up to that time, was peculiarly ^ratifying to him. When the Dixie Highway was pro­ jected. Chicago was to be its northern terminus. Michigan's claims were not considered. Finally. Mr. Colgrove took the floor and by his eloquent and force­ ful presentation of the scenic beauty and recreational advantages of his home state, he converted the assembly, brought the Dixie highway io Michi­ gan. was elected a director of the as­ sociation and lived to see this great national highway completed and paved from Michigan to Miami. He prepared the Covert Law under which improved highways may be । built and the cost and expense thereof defrayed by special assessment upon the lands benefitled. He spent many hours of counsel in the preparation of later highway laws, and it may be said that under his leadership. Michigan, by its constitution and laws, laid the . foundation of a highway s>*stem second to that of no other state. A man of such tremendous energy, diversified undertakings, and outstand­ Ing talents, with a genius for organi- . zation and of persuasive eloquence could not fall to influence his associates and the current of public affairs Though he may have had enemies, they never beguiled themselves in under­ estimating his ability and foresight. Awav from here, the fact that men , speak of Hastings as “Phil Colgrove'/: town." shows that In the public mind throughout the state, he who has . passed from us. was through the years, regarded os the outstanding man of ' this community. He has gone. . "So fades a summer cloud away; . So sinks the gale when the storms Bo gently shuts the eve of day; So dies a wave along lhe shore." The following poem was found after Mr. Colgrove's decease in his pocket book. It gave evidence of having been carried for some time, and was evi­ dently something ho greatly cherished. It will show how he faced the thought of death. Tlie poem reads: "Some time at eve when the tide is low. I shall slip my moorings and sail away With no response to a friendly hail. In the silent hush of the twilight pale. When the night steps down to embrace the day And the voices call in the water's Some time at eve when the water is low. I shall slip my moorings and sail Through the purple shadows that dark-' ly trail O'er the ebbing tide of the unknown And a ripple of waters to tell the tale Of u lonely voyager, sailing, away To mystic Isles, where at anchor lay The craft of those who have sailed before. O'er the unknown sea to the unknown shore. * A few who have watched me sail Will miss my craft from the busy bay; Some friendly barks that were an­ chored near.

FEBRUARY 19, IBM PEOPLE SHOULD SEE ILLS DES OF IT (Continued Iron page cm) In line we will get the benefit of $3,800, which the state and national govern­ ments will pay towards the expense of the service and will bare always avallablerin this county Un benefits of the extension and special work done at the State College, as well as what la done under lhe supervision of the United State* Department of Agriculture. Barry county now has two exten­ sion workers toward whose salary the state pays 13,000. County Agent Paul Rood, whose splendid work here has been recognised by thd State College and who Is soon to Join the extension force of that college in doing soil work throughout tlie state, has been our county agent for many years. He has always been on the Job and doing his very best all the time. Miss Beatrice Boyle Is now starting her third year as tin; head of clqb work tn thia-county. She has enrol fed something like 550 Barry county boys and girls in that kind of work and something like 450 women in club activities, which they will tell you have been very helpful to them. . What docs it cost Barry county to carry on this work? The county has levied a tax of one-fourth of one mill: that Is, every $1,000 of taxable property in Bairy county pays 35 cents a year for the purpose of keeping this valu­ able extension work going in Barry county. Take Uie average 80 acre farm, which wc will say is assessed for $40 an acre or $3,200. The owner would be paying only one fourth of a mill on that eighty acre farm asaesccd ■' $3,200. It would actually cost the own­ er but 80 cents for keeping a county agent and a county club worker busy ail the time In this county. When one considers what it has meant to the boys and girls of Barry county to have their interest directed to things that will help them In their work In life, what is 25 cents on $1,000. when weighed against such a service? It is impossible to calculate Ikw much In dollars nnd cents has Seen added to Barry county through the val­ uable work that has been carried on by Paul. Rood. Anyone who sits in Mr. Rood's office and hears bls answers to telephone calls from all parts of the county, knows that he is giving them Information that helps them. In the course of a year hundreds or fanners call on him and ask where they might go to find this kind of stock, get that kind of seed, or what information he has in regard to the use of lime, what fertilizers are recommended for certain conditions, how to arrange to have soil tested, how to make purchases of ground limestone, or other materials needed—anyone who has seen nnd heard al) this in the course of a short stay in Mr. Rood's office would realize that he Is performing a real service for the people of Barry county. Be­ cause the Banner has felt that his services are very helpful, we have us- pally visited hi* office two or I DEAN JACKSON SPOKE three I times every week whan seeking news or information that would be of value to our farmer renders. Ha has always been glad to give his time and to give us the facU in regard to any matters brought to his notice. Through these visit* to hl* office we have had the op­ portunity to see how far-reaching his work has been. To put the resulting benefit* in terms of dollars and cents would be ImjNMlble, because of the intangible nature of the items that have entered into the account. In our judgment his salary has been re­ paid many times over in the direct help he has been to farmers who have made use of the services he can anti does render. When one V°P“ to consider how lit­ tle it costa the average citizen to carry on this kind of work and how much Barry county needs It, it has seemed strange to the writer that there could be any question about it. Without belting an eye. supervisors who now seem antagonistic to continuing this service have cheerfully voted for Co­ vert rood* in a single year over 30 times what It has cost lhe county for both Mr. Rood's and Miss Boyle’s services. The Banner Is In favor of good road*, but think* that sometimes more roads have been authorized than consideration for prudent financing would have warrant­ ed. When one considers how many oth­ er ways there are in which the'county could economize but doesn't. It seems ridiculous to start by discontinuing a service that costs only 25 cents a year on the $1,000 of taxable property in Barry county, and which service Is sorely needed in thl* county. I , DIST. GOVERNOR SHARPE ADDRESSES LIONS CLUB 1 HE PLEADS GUILTY OF FRAUDULENT PRACTICE Fred G. Hardman Admits He Drew Oheck With Insuffi­ cient Funds Available Considerably over a year ago Fred O. Hardman, alias G. B. House, breezed into Hastings and seemed very anxious to buy a farm. A real estate agent took him north of town, where he found a place that he claimed exactly suited him. He came back to one of the local banks and deposited a check for $2,000, and said that he would soon have some more to put with it and would then pay for the farm he had purchased. He then drew a check against his own account, pocketed the proceeds and vamoosed. Before I the sheriff could locate him he was picked up In Living­ ston county'for Ute same performance, convicted and sent to Jackson prison. When his term expired last week the authorities here were notified. Sheriff Leonard was on hand and took Hard­ man as he was released from Jackson and brought him here. He was arraign­ ed Saturday before Judge MePeek on a charge of issuing checks with in­ sufficient funds available. He plead guilty and was remanded to Jail. Of course the bank found that the $2,000 check was a forgery. There was no such person as purported to have signed the check living at the place where the check was supposed to have | been issued. The Lions Club was most fortunate in having for iu speaker Monday noon of this week. the District Governor, Mr. Sharpe, of Bay City. He called atten­ tion io the fact that when lhe Lions had their first convention in 1917 hi Dalia* that thirty five clubs were represented. Twelve years later in Louisville the convention numbered representatives from twenty one hun­ dred clubs, representing a membership of over 75,000. Governor Sharpe asked us to consider why twelve years had •*en such phenomenal growth. After bringing to mind the high cali­ ber of the membership, making up the Lion* Club throughout the .world, the Governor called to mind our motto— L-I-O-N-S ’ Liberty. Intelligence. Our Nation's Safety.” and dwelt for the re­ mainder of the extremely Interesting talk on the first and second words ot that motto ’’Liberty, Intelligence." •There 1* no true liberty without our type of government." said he, ’ that Is not based on an intelligent grasp of our problems and Ideals. There are three forms of govern­ ment popular today:—The one man control exemplified by Italy with her dictator, which ha* in iu favor extreme economy; the type ruled by class, exemplified by Russia, probably a good government for such a country where fully 80 per cent can neither read nor write: and last but not least, a demo­ cratic form of government as exempli­ fied by that of the United SUte*. Il U tn this latter form of government that intelligence Is absolutely essential If any degree of liberty Is to be main­ tained. Speaking of the various immigrants who have come to our shores. Mr. {Sharpe referred to the German, the English. Scotch. Welsh and Irish. •These." said he "readily assimilate our Ideals and fit themselves for Intelli­ gent citizenship." The immigrants of southern Europe do not so readily do so. This constitutes our problem. We must Inspire and educate these people and. ourselves that wc may think live and believe In America and her government if democratic government is to guarantee us liberty. The Governor paid a fine tribute to the Boy Scouts, whom he said, above every other organization of which he has knowledge, is doing Just that thing, bringing nil to on intelligent under­ standing of our ideals. We must educate ourselves to unself­ ish mutual service If democracy Is to live. The Governor concluded his talk by pointing out the contribution made to our government by our three greatest lenders; Washington, who made our country; Lincoln, who saved our coun­ try; nnd Wilson, who gave our coun­ try the world-wide outlook toward an intelligent and friendly understanding. "These three men" said the Governor, "in 'their' respective spheres, jjerfectly exemplified that unselfish service which should Inspire every true Lion." HIS GOOD WORK BROUGHT DIXIE HIGHWAY TO MICH.

T. Colgrove In­ duced Dixie Highway Asson. to Change Original Plan In lhe mention of the rood activities of the late Philip T. Colgrove no men­ tion was made tn any newspaper of his connection with the “Dixie High­ way." This has been brought to our attention. It appears tiiat Mr.-Oolgrore had taken u deep Interest in that highway, which, as we understand It. was originally planned to go from Chi­ cago southeastward. Mr. Colgrove, who was u member'of the Dixie Highway Association. did not attempt to get a dlversion of that hlghway-gway from Chlicago to Michigan, but was successful I in getting the association, who planned {and carried Uirough that great im­ provement. to sanction a branch line into this state which completely en­ circles the lower peninsula. This has I been responsible for bringing thousands and thousands of tourists into Michigan every year from the south. Tills addi­ tion to the Dixie Highway for which he was responsible has made that high­ way far more valuable than the origi­ nal plan, especially through the vaca­ tion months of the summer. Business and professional men from the south­ land escape the extreme heat of the summer by a drive over Uie Dixie into I Michigan and along our great lakes and to visit resorts which are made ac­ cessible by that highway. Mr. Colgrove was an official k>f the association which [tanned and carried out the Michigan, extensions of the Dixie Highway. He certainly did a good stroke of business when he In­ duced his associates in the Dixie High­ way Association to have this road built Into Michigan. ~i AT THE BROTHERHOOD Many Opportunities to Economize What Should Be One’s Contribu-1 tion to Life?—Be a Good Neighbor I A fin* address was given to the Brotherhood Monday night by Dean 1 Jacjuon of St. Marks Pro-Cathedral. ' Grand Rapids. A good supper was I served by the squad, captained by Adel- 1 bert Cortright. Six new name* were 1 added to lhe Brotherhood roll. Dean Jackson's theme was •'Wljat One's Contribution Ought to Be to | Life." He told of the young man who I came to Jesus • and very earnestly | a^ked- "What shun 1 do to inherit ' eternal life?" The Master replied, j "What does the law siy?" And the man | retfietnbered the summary of all lhe Mosiac laws and answered: "Love the Lord thy God with al) thy heart, with j nil thy mind and with all thy strength . nnd thy neighbor as thyself." This ' young man was prepared to accept ' without question hi* duty to love God. But he had some doubt* about the Job • of loving his neighbor: and to clear I them he asked the question: "Who Is ] my neighbor?" Jesus answered with the familiar parable of "The Good Samar- | han.” telling how priest and Levite had I walked past a wounded man: but the . one with whom neither priest nor ■ Levite would have any dealing* what- I ever, the Samaritan, picked up the wounded man, dressed his wounds as best he could, took him to an inn. paid the charges and said that when he re­ turned that way if more was required he would pay It. He was a.real neigh­ bor. Dean Jackson said that was Jesus' answer to the question "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?'' and the answer is: "Be a good neighbor—a real neighbor." He said that Is what the meaning of a Brotlierhood organization really must be. The address appealed forcefully to each member to be a good neighbor. He said we arc made to live with one another and to love one an­ other. He said a real brother wImj lias lhe Kingdom spirit in him will show in his bearing toward others lovtf, Joy. and peace; and these will fruit in a life of good will and helpfulness. Dean Jackson gave a fine definition of faith, which he said was "Reason grown courageous." We should use our reason and then have the courage ot our convictions. Il was a fine address.

We have heard no criticism of the request by the Department of Public Safety for an approprUtion from the State Administrative Board sufficient to equip the state police with machine guns and other epuipment enabling thetn to speak to the modem criminal In his own kind of language. In recent years the state police have arisen to an enviable position as a law­ enforcement body. We no longer hear them spoken of in terms of contempt. In hundreds of instances they have demonstrated their value in trailing down criminals and bringing them to justice. Nothing so discourages the wrongdoer as the fear of prompt de­ tection and speedy punishment.

Secretary Lamont's report gives add­ ed authority to a statement of the Na­ tional Bureau of Economic Research Dial since 1923 the average annual in­ come of lhe people ot the United States has progressively increased at the rate of nearly 83.000.000.000 a year. The tout realized annual Income for 1928 is put at 889,419,000.000, which compared with 865949.000.000 in 1919 and 829.­ 605.000.000 in 1909. The advance has been uninterupted save in 1914. lhe year of the beginning ot the World War. and in 1921. the year of poat-war deflation. A gratifying feature of the statement is that wage earners' and salaried work­ ers' incomes showed an Increase greater than tiiat of entrepreneurs as compared with the respective incomes in 1922. If such were needed, here is evidence that the poor are getting richer along with the rich, though of that fact there is ocular proof all around —Philadelphia Inquirer.

At the wheel, his hands taut, his mind alert, his spirit gloriously free, is tiny Man, directing the prodig­ ious force he himself has created. S The background reveals an industry of workers trained in precision; artisans, devoted to beauty; inspectors, with an eye for the flaw; designers; engineers; and the everpresent guiding genius. Springing from these spe­ cialized talents, from ceaseless laboratory experimen­ tation, the utmost manufacturing efficiency and proud craftsmanship, is the.perfected Automobile of Today.

Tlie welded muffler is an effective silencer of the exhaust. The flattened tall pipe is of the modulator type rendering the sound of the final ex­ haust practically inaudible. Power of Motor. ' The power'of the motor is trans­ mitted to the rear wheels through a single-disc, cork-insert clutch with cushioned hub similar to that used in the motor of the Greater Hudson and . through a large diameter steel propeller shaft with two all-metal universal joints enclosed In oil-tight housings. The front axle, of I-beam section includes a Hudson Improvement In the form of drop-forged, crow-ribbed yokes. The front axle steering spindles are mounted on ball-bearings and the steering tie-rod is universal-jointed. The rear axle, though outwardly of conventional appearance, also incor­ porates an important Innovation by which unusual strength and perma­ nent alignment are given to the gears of the final drive. The springs are semi-elliptic, the rear springs being underslung and spread at the rear in accordance with previous Hudson practice. Two-way hy­ draulic shock absorbers are Installed and the Hotchkiss system of taking care of the rear axle drive through the springs Is retained. Tpc four-wheel brake system is of the .latest Improved weatherproof Bendix type, with two articulated self­ aligning shoes operated by a floating cam. .

It has always been their belief that a sale does not complete the transaction between them and the buyer but establishes a new obligation on them to see that each car gives its owner service. We with the company are as much interested in your economical operation of the car as you are in the economical manufacture of it. This is only good business on their part as well as ours. If the Ford car gives service, sales will take care of themselves. • For that reason they have required that we install a system of service so that we are able to take care of all Ford car needs in a careful and economical manner. We wish, therefore, to assure all buyers and users of Ford cars that we are properly equipped so that they may avail themselves of the very best car service. - Th'e FordlPromise I — Two years ago, when the new Ford was first introduced, the Ford Motor Company made the statement that the new Model A would be “superior in design and performance to any other car ’ available in the low price field.” The record of the past two years shows that the prediction of 1927 has become an accomplished fact. Nearly 3,000,000 cars have been built up to this time. This accomplishment is both interesting and important, because it re- . veals something of the regard in which the new Ford is held by millions of motorists. .For this large production would have been impossible without the growing public demand for the car. New Beauty In the New Ford Beauty of Line and Outstanding Performance Make the New Ford a “Value Far Above the Price.” The new Ford is a particularly good choice because it brings you everything you want or need in a motor car.

AFFECTING MOTORISTS Expert Service IN Auto Electric Work Generators, Starters, Lights and Batteries Are Our Specialty Don't experiment, come to us and if we don't know what pour car needs we will tell pou so. Service is Prompt — Prices Are Reasonable The American Motorists Association cnl’r attention to six recent court de­ cisions affecting motorists. One unholds the validity of the Cal­ ifornia three-cent gasoline tax. Anoth­ er upholds the legality of the Connect­ icut act relieving owners and opera­ tors of automobiles from responsibili­ ty for injuries to guests transported gratuitously, unless the injuries were incurred in accidents caused intention­ ally or by heedless or reckless disre­ gard for others. Two other decisions b-’ar out the theory that, between pedestrian and driver, the burden of responsibility for an accident rests on the driver when the pedestrian has the right of way at a crossing. anti vice versa when the pe| destrlan “Jaywalks" between crossings. Both decisions wore handed down by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The fifth decision is to the effect that a motorist has a right to rely on ‘the silence of a warning gong at a rail­ road intersection as an assurance of safety If the gong is out of order and on accident results, the motorist is not to blame, according to the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The last decision involved a motor­ ist. his mother-in-law and an accident occurring while the wife was showing her mother the sights around Madison. Wis.

"It appears that in 1858 Justice H. ' Rathbone, then suffering from ill ' health, went to the northern peninsula i of Michigan, into the coppw district I for lhe benefit of his health. He was a 1 । cultured man. a splendid musician and a man of fine ideals. He taught jfhool | at Eagle Harbor, which is near the city , of Calumet and during the yinter of | 11858 and 1859. formed his plans for | starting the new order, to be called the . Knights of Pythias. I "Those were stirring times in this j I country. Already the shadows of lhe • Civil war were beginning to be so plain that no one could escape the conviction I that such a strife was inevitable. It happened that, while Mr. Rathbone । was in Northern Michigan, he became . i interested in dramatic entertainments. , I "Among the plays given was that of .1 Damon and Pythias. This story deeply j I impressed him. He felt very certain that this country was to be rent by ' | civil strife. He aimed to look beyond ■ that time and to try to heal the wounds which the expected war wou’d cause and to reunite the American people. That he accomplished much in that i direction, not only through his order, I but through what he said and did. .cannot be questioned. "When the war broke out.

LIBRARY NEWS “The Good Companions." by J. B. Priestley, combines a descriptive ability as remarkable and as amazingly ob­ servant as that of Dickens with a great breadth of subject matter, the most important part of which is inherently modern. One feels that thb book was not written hastily or with the idea of financial gain even so much as present tn the author’s mind. In the first place. It is long, and the writer of would-be beat sellers does not risk bor­ ing hb readers with too many pages. In Die second place, thc entire length of it is pervaded by a Puckish humor wherein lhe author laughs both with and at his characters. Last but not least, you cannot but feel that It has been a pleasure to him to set down de­ tail after detail of a landscape, a town or a street, thc whole amounting to a very perfect picture.

I know also that j there are methods and methods of de- I scription. but Mr. Priestley's way b pre- i eminent In that it never bores; It b never too long; It b always to the point; and It b beautiful or terrible or drub or lively as thc case requires, hb ability not being limited to any type of j place or person. In plot structure thb novel also Invltes comparison with Dickens. There are at least three major and eight or more minor characters whose destinies must be worked.out.

They consulted their attorney—the plaintiffs did— and brought a proceeding for the purjxjse of getting a permament Injunc­ tion restraining the submitting of that vole to the people. I take It from what 1 have heard that the respondent here, and the oth­ ers associated with her as plaintiffs in ' that case, were disappointed when they found that the records showed that this irregularity complained of had been taken care of by the proceedings and then, after that wm discovered. It ap­ pears from lhe testimony here that the respondent made the statement that the school board had fabricated a reso­ lution. and had it put into the record so as to complete the records to make them come within the requirements of lhe taw.

The testi­ mony of Mr. Smith, the secretory of lhe board, goes to the extent of saying that in talking with the respondent, that she had told him twice before that meeting that the Judge was flxtd. and the whole case was settled. *o far as the decree of the Court wai con­ cerned. and the lawyers knew how If was going to be decided .before the tes­ timony was submitted, or words to that effect. Now. that is the background for com­ ing into this school meeting on the evening of the 8th of July. 1929. Then the budget to read. There appears a four hundred or four hundred and fifty dollar Item that the school board has paid, tn addition to what the plaintiffs had to say. in order to bring that law­ suit and have It decided Nothing was accomplished by it except to authorise the submission of the question. Noth­ ing was accomplished by lhe lawsuit: and here is the four hundred and fifty dollar item. Some of the testimony shows that thc board had to pay to de­ fend itself against the lawsuit that probably coat the plaintiffs that much more to bring it. A certain amount of mental deduction probably was in the mind of the respondent, and maybe some others, as to the outcome of that case, and the bringing of it. Now, that to really the threshold of this case here. Bo when this budget was read, and the Items were discussed, that is the condition of mind we start out with. In this case, the respondent admits that she made certain statements in regard to matters about which the plaintiff here says lhe statements were made by her. Of course there to a dis­ parity between the statements alleged by the plaintiff, and those admitted by the defendant. The plaintiffs claim that the discussion was in regard to Judge McPeek. and the claim to made that she said in effect that justice could not be obtained In hto court— that to. the Circuit Court of this coun­ ty. over which he presides regularly. The defendant says she was finding fault wllh her attorneys. Now, at the outset it would be easy for anybody to say that a person would have no more reason for finding fault wllh their private attorneys at a school meeting than they yrould have for finding fault with their doctor, or their dentist, or their carpenter, or their veterinary surgeon. Hiring a law­ yer and paying him is simply a per­ sonal and private matter. If you hire a lawyer and he holds himself out to be an attorney, and he fails to perform services such as are reasonably expect­ ed of an attorney in the community In which he resides, or if you can show that he did not have the ability or he did not exercise the faithfulness that were necessary for a lawyer to exercise in protecting the interests of Iris client, he can be sued, or he can have a disbarment proceeding brought against him. There are several things that can happen to a lawyer if he does not do hto duty; but It is purely a pri­ vate matter between him and the party who hires him. and whom he falls, It to not a matter that the public would be interested In only as a matter of exposure, and not a matter for discus­ sion at a meeting such as was held. On the other hand! there to the statement made by (he respondent, that to testified to by her and her hus­ band. to the effect that she said in her opinion the case was settled before the case came into court. A case cannot bo settled before it to brought into Court except It to settled by some contact with the Judge. Lawyers cannot make up their minds how a case to going to be settled, and bring It into Court un­ less they have had some understand­ ing with the Judge on it.

We Pay 3% Interest Compounded Semi-Annually On All Savings Accounts Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County To say that a case Is settled before It is brought into Court, and to say that Justice was not hafl is. in a large measure, to admit In this case the charges made by the plaintiffs. It is admitted by the respondent that thia matter was under discussion. Mr. Smith says that, upon Inquiry of the respondent when she made certain statements, he asked the respondent. Mrs. Furniss, If she was referring to Judge McPeek. when she made those statements. Whatever it was, he says he asked that question. She admits that she was asked that question, so that part of this transaction Is ad­ mitted. Whatever It was that Mr. Smith says he asked, the respondent In this case admits that he did ask her. Now. after she answered, whatever it was. it Is admitted that he said: "I want all of you people here to remem­ ber that.” Now. If all Mrs. Fumtos said was. "I didn’t mention Judge McPeek.” would It be reasonable that Mr. Smith would say. "All you people remember that, because this is going to lead to something else?" If Mrs. Fumtos had said. "I did not refer to. and did not Involve Judge McPeek.” why, to have the people remember that would be to establish the fact that Judge McPeek was not being considered unfavorably in that controversy at all. and nothing further could come from it. But it is admitted that Smith said. "I want all you people to remember that, because you will hear further from this.” or words to that effect. Now. I mention that as bearing upon the probabilities of the claims of the plaintiffs. It is much more probable that Mr. Smith asked Mrs, Fumtos. just as the five witnesses for the plaintiffs said here. “Did you refer to Judge McPeek?” and that she said "Yes," or “I do," or "I refer to Judge McPeek.” as the case may be. rather than. “You mentioned Judge McPeek’s name. I didn’t;” because if she af­ firmed what he said in hi$ question, it would be logical then that he would say. "I want all you people to remem­ ber that." But if she denied fl. and re­ pudiated the insinuation of the ques­ tion. It would be most illogical for him to ask the assembled audience there to remember. If he had tn mind something by way of a proceeding. These witnesses In this case of course I never saw before, never heard before. I never saw Mr. Smith, nor Mr. Zemer. nor Mr. Nelson. Mr. Edmonds, nor Mrs. Everts. Those are the witnesses who testified in behalf of the plaintiff here, or the so-called plaintiff. I find nothing in the evidence that shows that they had any personal interest in this mat­ ter. I do know that a very unfortunate habit has grown up everyihere in our country of abandoned criticism of peo­ ple in official responsibility. In the first place, it seems to be a bad condition that flagrant and perfectly unjustified statements are made by people, about people who are in official responsibili­ ty. without anything to base them on, very much—just because people are against what 13.

It was a wrong that a preacher of the Gospel had committed upon a young lady. I was sure that I was right, and I made every effort possible to see If I could not convict that man. And the girl had told me that this man got a minister's half-fare ticket to send her to a certain place. I made a search, but I could not find that evi­ dence, I tried that case for several days. Finally the respondent falsified so badly that I got him In the mesh of his own entanglements, and he was convict­ ed. And lhe Chairman of the Com­ missioners of the Poor of our county sat in the Court during all that time, heard me trying to show that this man. being a preacher, got his railroad ticket at half fare and. after the trial was over, he came up to me and said. "I Issued that half fare ticket to him. as a Poor Commissioner." Can you imagine my disgust at that public official who sat there and heard me making that effort, heard me asking this question, “Didn't you get a half fare ticket, as a preach­ er, for this girl?” “No. sir." he answered. And this county official of our coun­ ty sat there and listened, and he never mentioned it until after the jury had rendered a verdict of guilty. And then he came up and smilingly told me this wonderful news, after the time had passed when I needed him. It simply was beneficial in that it showed the girl Young folks are apt to forget that Mother grows lonely was telling the truth as far as she was when they move away.

I haven’t any doubt but that it Is with a great deal of embarrassment, or personal wish that the event had not taken place, that those cilixans at prominence eome ' up here and testify to what they say took place in this school meeting. While I do not place any evidential value upon the statement of Mr. Bigler that there is quite a number of other people that are willing to testify cor­ roborating these five. It is not an easy thing—it is not as easy as it ought to be—to get people to come forward in behalf of public justice, and tell the truth about a matter In which the pub­ lic is Interested. There probably Is not an institution In the county, or in the stale, that is of more importance to the people, than that the judge of a Circuit Court should be a man above suspicion from the standpoint of rectitude and good character, reliability and unapproach­ ableness—those things that make for (Continued on page ten) ■•Hello, how are you?” For or lots MICHIGAN BBL TELEPHONE C( �THE HASTINGS BANNER.

And I comment upon that because it Is not an cosy thing to produce wit­ nesses of that kind. Now. several witnesses have testified here In behalf of the defendant. I am not going to review the personal ele­ ment* or tlie qualities of each witness: but it seems to me that it is fair and reasonable to aay that, tn weighing the testimony as to it* evidential value, the testimony of Mrs. Norton and Mr. Bullis and Mr. Noyes and Mrs. Noyes and Mrs. Norton and Jasper Deed*, the testimony of those witnesses, who had practically no ability to remember only as counsel sought to refresh their recol­ lection—the testimony was not ot very great weight. They could not remem­ ber with any great amount of clarity and detail what took place. Their tes­ timony was not of any great weight Mrs. Furniss, when at this meeting, said she was not ashamed of this form­ er trial being referred to as the Furniss trial. She said that she was not ashamed of it; and that if the people could know what the truth was—Weil, what was the truth that she wanted the people to know? I cannot see the logi­ cal force of her having a desire that the people should know that she hired a lawyer who did not know how to try a small injunction lawsuit, one of the simplest things that there Is In the practice of law. What was this thing that would reflect no discredit upon her when she told the public what the Now. what these witnesses say is that she claimed that that truth was. and she wanted to tell it to the public, that no justice could be had in this Court; that the Court wm fixed before the trial, and that there was no use to take that go to make a person a good mem­ ber of society; and it is unfortunate in this case that the parties to this suit brought there.

These are circumstances, you understand, where there 1* a dispute in teatlmony. It Is the duty of the Court in this case to analyze the testimony and find the circumstances which lend credence to one side, or which detract from lhe other side, as thc case may be. This Is an unfortunate affair. Frequenlly when we have matters come up In court, and people get into contentlons that run on and develop into something worse, until one side or the other gets the other side into Court, we lawyers know that there is some lack of good character, there is some lack of early training, there is some lack of appreciation of good government, there is almost universally a lack of some of the fundamentals along for six or eight months, kick on his taxes. These questions. are then I human ! Under all the circumstances of this 1 case, after everything is said and done, without making any personal com­ ments further than I have, I am satis- [ fled from the weight of thc evidence ' in this case that has been submitted, ; that It shows beyond any reasonable : doubt that Mrs. Furniss made these statements, as claimed here by the pe- ■ tltioners. against Judge McPeek. I am satisfied that they were made under circumstance* that were rather aggra­ vating. vexing, annoying; but never­ theless that is no justification. I am satisfied that when Mr. Smith asked her thc question that he says he asked her, and that she says he askpd her, she stopped and thought, as he said. > considering for the moment whether she would say yes. and affirm what he put in his question there. Not desiring j or being unwilling to back down, if j I may use tlie word, from that position she very unwisely said "Yes.” or affirm- i ed what he asked when he said. "Are | you referring to Judge McPeek when you make those' statement*?"—refer­ ring to statements which he said she made, that justice could not be had in this Court, or that the Judge was fixed before the trial came on. I am, satisfied that the evidence shows that she made that statement, , max by ft contention that has been and co, under the circumstances. It is 1 waging. While I am on that. I will say necessary for the Court to say that the i that possibly It is over taxes. Maybe it burden of proof has been met by the not. Maybe it was over some unlm- plaintiffs, or the petitioners, and that portant and personal thing. I know lots the weight of the evidence establishes Of people that kick about fifty dollar thc allegations beyond a reasonable laxeiu and $ay it is too high.

You have tcstl- . . fled that.you had no intention to ex­ press and do not now hold any opinion 1 derogatory of Judge McPeek or his Court, his official integrity or probity. And of course from your saying that I I take it for granted that that is the I truth. You testified to it under oath, j and so that is a circumstance that the ; Court considers very favorably in your I [ behalf here. ' The maximum, as I understand it, Is [ $250 fine, or 30 days In jail. The Court I Is going to take into consideration the fact that you have testified here com- I pllmentarily to the Judge of this Cir- 1 cult—not any more complimentarlly j than he Is entitled to. not In any hlgher degree of respect and trustworthi- 1 j ness than he Is entitled to. But you have testified to a full belief and re­ Hance In his official Integrity and worthiness, and fitness for the position I ■ that he holds. So T will ask your , counsel. Mr. Colwell.

Encouraging result* in the battle against many ser­ ' lous disease* of animals has caused thc bureau of animal industry in the V. 8 Dept, of Agriculture to ask all livestock (Owners to cooperate with all public agencies which are trying to still fur­ ' ther accelerate the work of disease con­ trol. The Federal Bureau states that of the 35 serious animal disease present In the world only 24 are known io be present tn this country, and 17 of those present are being effectively controlled or are approaching eradication. Tick fever is one example of a disease which is being erased from the national map. Fourflf ths of the original area in which this disease occurred is now free from the disease, which has been eradicated from five states. . Tuberculosis, hog cholera, and con­ i taglous abortion arc three serious dlsenses whose control has progressed re­ markably during the past few years. The help of herd owners is still needed in the additional work which is neces1 sary to further reduce the losses from these three diseases. Specific measures for Inoculating animals to prevent the occurrence of certain diseases, methods for using dips to cure or prevent skin diseases, and ways to avoid losses from internal parasites or poLsonous plants arc de­ scribed in printed matter which is distrlbuted free by the bureau of animal industry, U. 8.

Especially win this apply to the RepubUc of Mexico. From thal country many thousands of im­ migrants. In some years It is claimed several hundred thousand, drift Into this country to work in cotton fields and the rice plantations of the south and the sugar beet and onion districts of the middle west. Most of them re­ turn to Mexico. They seem to have no idea of becoming citizen. of the Unit­ ed States. They are attracted by the high wages and better living conditions In the United States. This country Is enforcing a drastic limitation of Immigrants from Eur­ opean countries and Is prohibiting them altogether from lhe Orient. There is no reason why wc should leave lhe southern gate wide open. There is no reason why we should shut out intelli­ gent people from Europe, who want th come here and become citizens of this country and. at the same time, leave the bars down for Mexicans, who are inferior to Europeans, generally speak­ ing. in education and in desirableness as citizens. We are glad to notice that Congress is considering the matter and that a bill has been presented calculated to make a drastic cut in the number who will be permitted to enter this country from Mexico.

No other single food is receiving more earnest thought and attention by the public. 120JN»JX» people, than milk. Cleaner, more wholesome milk is the growing demand made by the public. The National Dairy Council says that 22 per cent of the consumer’s food dollar l» now expended for dairy pro­ duct*. No wiser choice can be made. No cheaper food can be purchased. No other food contains «o much health for so little money. Il Is believed by the leading dairy authorities and the National Dairy Council that the public will purchase even more dairy products tn the future. Estimates indicate that 35 cents out of every consumer’s food dollar will be spent for dairy pr&luct* in the future. To hasten the approach of this day. the Michigan State College iLts re­ sponded to a quality milk and cream demand exerted by Michigan dairy farmer* themselves. A special truck has been arranged to help bring the latest steps and information In cream and milk production to the farm. This truck carries exhibit material and utensil*, bnm equipment, ventilation features, milk house construction plans and other interesting features, togeth­ er with the extension dairyman and agricultural engineer from the Michi­ gan State College.

The benefits that would accrue to the nation from the construction of an adequate system of farm-to-market roads in every state are all but Incal­ culable. At present two-thirds of all farmers arc barred from their market-places during from two to six months of the year by unimproved roads which be­ come in winter a succession of Im­ passible mud holes. Improved roads would not only benefit the farmer, but many small towns would receive a larger amount of farm business. A good secondary road system would offer great attractions to the pleasure seeker, by opening up new country and relieving congestion on main trunk, highways, thereby reducing accident hazards. It has been estimated that the aver­ age farm family must pay *7.63 to a doctor for each home call, and that 13 per cent of farmers must pay *15.00. Poor roads are directly responsible for this comparatively high cost of necess­ ary medical attention. The fanner, as one of our greatest taxpayers, and a representative of our most basic industry, is entitled to all­ year usable roads. The trapper who tries to outwit the red fox must sharpen his wits, as this fox is keen scented and suspicious and has a wholesome fear of man. Traps and lhe ground where they are oct must be free from human odors. Steel trap* may be cleaned by boiling them with twigs of spruce, fir hemlock, birch, or sassafras, by burying them, or by­ leaving them In running water for a day or so.

March 21, at which time the taxpayers of Ute dis­ trict will be asked to decide by their ballots the proposition of bonding the district in the suni of *170,000 for the purpose of building a new school house, adequate to the needs of popu­ lar education in this City. city. Even if the indebtedness thus In­ curred meant a considerable Increase in school taxes, there would be plenty of reasons why the proposition should carry. But careful estimates have been I made which show that this amount, I although large enough to look formid- | able, will not add one penny to lhe jl present school tax rate. If lhe enter- i prise can thus be met, why should ,| there be any delay? Why not go ahead • and secure at once a very valuable as- • set fot Hastings? What possible argu- j ment can be advanced for voting j “No." when there is every inducement i| to vote "Yes?" We are already paying || our school tax without difficulty. Why '! not continue as we have been doing. 1 especially as we are getting the new building without adding a penny to our ’ burden? I do not wish, Mr. Editor, to discuss j the financial end of the proposition. • That has already been ably done. There are other angles of the problem which I It seems to me are worthy of consider- ! ation. and it is these that I desire to 1 emphasize. May I mention a few of the I i reasons that are almost too obvious to i need mentioning. It is generally conceded that a new d building is inevitable. Why proscrastlnate? If we put off the task we shall ' be compelled to make costly repairs on i lhe old buildings It Is certain that the , roof on the old red brick will have to be replaced with a new one. This will j cost thousands of dollars. The ventila­ tion of lhe old buildings is intolerable. ' ... . threatening the health of the boys and | girls who are compelled to stay in them. What parent will willingly en- ■ danger his children’s physical welfare? I Tiie heating of the old buildings Is cost­ ly. The new one will obviate moat of lhat expense. The toilets In the old I buildings are abominable. In a word, the using of the old buildings will prove to be expensive. I Why keep them, when a new one will be healthier, more sanitary, more eco­ nomical? Again, we owe a new building to the present generation of boys and girls. Let us protect their Ilves and health. Why wait until they grow up when we can now. without increasing our school taxes, give them a beautiful, attrac­ tive, wholesome building. refining in its Influence, Inspiring In Its appearance, cultivating the very best instincts, en­ couraging the highest aspirations of our children? For that is the educa­ tional influence of Imposing architec­ ture. and tasteful surroundings. Then why deprive the present gen­ eration of our boys and girls of such a beneficlent influence? Let us think of these boys and girls and give them the opportunity which their claims upon us demand. Let us remember that the building proposed is for the benefit of ALL chil­ dren—those who may not be permitted to go through the high school, but must by force of circumstance be obliged to be content with an eighth grade education, and then go into the world to work for themselves. THESE are the boys and girls whom we must consider. Then the new plans call for n fine, commodious and convenient public hall —a room tiiat can be used for all sorts of community gatherings, certainly a long-felt necessity for Hastings. Why temporize by building the structure by the piece-meal process? The board in­ tend to raise a fund sufficient for de­ fraying the total expense at once. When done it will not only be a beau­ tiful structure, but it will be a useful community center, with an adequate public hall. Then. Incidentally, the erection of the building will provide labor at a time when it is most needed, and dis­ tribute money when the present de­ pression is harming business. Eco­ nomically considered it will be oppor­ tune; for materials and labor will be cheaper than usual. Finally, not to trespass too much upon time and space, may I refer to one more advantage of building NOW: I mean the publicity asset We can now point with pride to our excellent and efficient high school, devoted entirely •~ SPIRIT AND FAITH REQUIRED. to our young men and young women.

Besides this the High school gives nu­ merous entertainments of a public na­ ture. and many for the benefit of the school itself. Naturally the use of the High schoql auditorium has had to be restricted. The school board desires to provide In the new building an audi­ torium which any individual, party, or organization In the city, desiring to pul eft a decent program, can rent at a reasonable price, the charge to cover only lighting, heating, janitor service and incidental expenses connected with maintaining such auditorium. In other words, it is not to be operated for profit but is to perform a real community service. The board have put them­ selves squarely on record for such use for the proposed auditorium in the new building, provided the same is approved by the voters at the election held March 21. The. architects’ figures for the cost of the proposed new building. Including all plumbing, heating and necessary furniture and furnishings, will be from 1200,000 to 1210000. They have gone over this matter carefully and based their figures on their own large experi­ ence with the construction of such buildings. The architects hold out the hope that right now these figures will be reduced, because of the fact that materials are now cheaper and because I contractors are not so busy these days this city can pay the entire cost new structure, the bonds being sold at five per cent, by applying year from the budget, WITHOUT IN­ CREASING THE SCHOOL TAX KA I E. When a community can do such a fine service for the pupils of our city who attend the grades and Junior high in the old central buildings, without add­ ing to the school tax burden, surely we ought all to heartily faVor the propo­ sition. • The board has fixed the date of March 21 for the election, because it is necessary, if building operations are to be completed this year, that work commence as soon as possible. It will take a considerable time to advertise for-bids, examine them and let the con­ tract. It will take some lime to as­ semble Che niaterlals after the con­ tract is let. It will take time to market the bonds to the best advantage. So the board feel that the matter should be decided at the earliest possible mo­ ment in order that the building may be completed within 1930 If the plan Is ap­ proved by the voters. The school law expressly provides that only taxpayers can vote at an election for bonds. The state law de­ fines a taxpayer of any city as one who lives there and owns property there which is on the tax rolL If tne title to the property subject to taxation is wholly owned by the husband or the wife, then the one who owns the prop­ erty only has the right to vote. If, however, the husband and wife own the property jointly, even if it is as­ sessed to the husband only, then the wife has as much right to vote as if her name were actually on the tax roll. But only owners of property subject to taxation will have a right to vote at the election which will be held upstairs in the city hall building on Friday. March 21. We believe that there will be general approval of the action of the board in fixing the hours from 11 A. M. until fl P. M..ao that all of those who desire can vote. The law stipulates that the board must provide at least two hours for voting. But the board has planned so that everyone who wants to do so can vole for lhe polls will be open for eight hours, so that every qualified tax­ payer will have a chance to express his sentiments. The board has put all the cards on lhe table, face up. They have placed this matter squarely before the people of this city. It is their unanimous judgment that Hastings needs this new school building. The people selected them to look after the schools; so that their Judgment is worthy of considera­ tion. They will send a letter to every taxpayer on the tax rolls of the city, telling them .what the board has done and their reasons for doing so, urging lhe voters to give merited consideration to this important subject. Now the issue Is up to the people of this dty. It will not be news to the readers of the Banner to learn that we earnestly hope that this city will favor the immediate building of this Junior high and grade structure. The 500 chil­ dren who attend school in the miser­ ably lighted, poorly ventilated central buildings which are dangerous fire traps are worthy of this consideration. The city needs the auditorium for pub­ lic purposes and public gatherings. Without increasing the school tax rate we can build and pay for this structure in 15 years. With this new building, Hastings will have a completely up-to-date school plant, with nothing better in any city of our size In this or any other state. It will give this city a wider reputation for the excellence of its schools, and will add to the value ot Hastings as a place to lire in. It will undoubtedly attract people to our dty. We can all feel, if the voters approve, that we have taken 500 Hastings children out of old. fire trap buildings and propose to give them modem, safe, well lighted, well ventilated school rooms in which to carry on their work. The Banner publishers have less in­ terest in this matter than most citizens because we have no children in our schools; but we do hope, for the sake of Hastings and its future, that our people, at the election to be held Fri­ day. March 21. will approve the issue of 1170,000 of bonds, so that we can build the new building this year. We can complete the payment for it tn 1945 WITHOUT ADDING TO THE SCHOOL TAX RATE. ...» (Continued from page one) Last week a sketch of’the proposed building, together with floor plans and general details, came to the board. At their meeting Thursday evening the board gave their approval to Ute plans submitted by Messrs. Warren Holmes Company, and decided that the mat­ ter should be put to a vote of the tax­ payers of lhe city on Friday, March 21. from 11 A. M. until fl P. M. The voting will be done upstairs in the city hall. Tite drawings of the buildings, as well as ground plans for the same, have been shown in some of the down town display windows, so lhat it is easy to tee what lhe board and the architect have in view. The proposed building would front on Broadway, on the old central grounds. The old red brick building would be tom down and much of the material uti­ lized In the construction of the new building. There will be no basement. There will be two stories—the lower one for the kindergarten and grades and lhe upper for the junior high and lhe normal departmenu. This proposed new building will also provide what Hastings has long need­ ed—an auditorium, with a good stage, one that will seat from 1.000 to 1.200 people, lhat will be available to any or­ ganization. no matter what its charac­ ter. that wishes to put on an entertain­ ment. furnish a lecture or hold any public gathering that may be desired, paying of course a reasonable rental for the same. Hastings has long need­ ed such an auditorium. The present High school auditorium could not be used in the general way that is desired. C. F.

They do not complain about not getting value recieved from their tax dollar, but they do say that taxes have mount­ ed so rapidly In recent years that their absorption In most cases brings actual financial embarrassment. Are you one of those who believes taxes too high? Do you think there is an unequal distribution of the tax bur­ den? If you do you will be given an opportunity to state your views on this Important subject. The state commission of inquiry into taxation, appointed last year by Gov­ ernor Fred W. Green, will hold the first of a series of public hearings in the Senate chamber at Lansing on Thursday, March 20. Taxation on real and personal property will be discussed. As a taxpayer you are invited to attend this hearing, express your opinion and make any suggestion you may desire on this Important phase of government.

Mar. 10.—Michigan potato growers are asked to consider the statements made by' government officials In the Agricultural Outlook which reports a contemplated Increase In the acreage of potatoes grown in the United Slates and predicts a conse­ quent reduction In market prices If weather conditions are favorable for the crop. With normal weather conditions, the proposed acreage to be planted will* produce 421 millions of bushels. The farm price for lhe 1924 crop wjilch was I approximately the same number of bushels was 625 cents per bushel. Prospective lower prices will make production economics still more pro­ fitable. The usual method of reducing lhe costs of production per bushel is to produce more bushels per acre. One of the least expensive ways of . improving the crop is to use high grade I seed which Is certified to be free of troublesome seed-borne . disease Michigan produce* some of the world's best potato seed and growers of the Slate have the first opportunity to purchase It. The varieties of seed recommended by the State College farm crops de­ partment are Irish Cobblers for early potatoes, and Russet Rurals, Green Mountaim. or White Rurals for late varieties. STATE FOLKS FINISH SHORT COURSE STUDY Liat of Graduates Show Michi­ gan Residents Use Scholas­ tic Opportunities East Laming? Mar. 10 —The list of short course graduates who recently finished their work at Michigan State College prove that the home folks fa­ vor this practical scholastic work as only seven ot the 137 graduates are not residents of Michigan. The dairy production course was the most popular this year and 32 men re­ ceived diplomas In that subject. Many of the testers who work in the State dairy herd Improvement associations receive their training In this course. The course in poultry attracts both men and women. Twenty graduates ob­ tained training in modem production methods. Two courses in general agriculture, one of eight and the other of 16 weeks, had a combined graduation list of 46. Home Economics was not so popular; only two women receiving diplomas In that subject. Studies of the manufacture of dairy products held the attention of 28 stu­ dents. and 14 specialized In agricultural engineering. The use of power machin­ ery on farms has given impetus to this subject. Make Your Home-Town Richer!

A builder builded a temple. He wrought it with grace and skill: Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. Men said, as they saw its beauty, "It shall never know decay. Great Is thy skill O builder: Thy fame shall endure for aye." A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care. Planning each arch with patience. Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts, None knew of her wonderous plan; i: For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone Is the builder’s temple.

An economic burden of S5.000.000 Is laid annually on the people of the United States as a result of the crimi­ nal use of narcotic drugs, Capt. Rich­ mond Pearson Hobson, president and founder of the International Narcotic Education Association, said in a recent statement. CapL Hobson, whose attempt dur­ ing the Spanish-American War to bot­ tle up Admiral Cervera's fleet tn San­ tiago harbor by sinking the Merrimac across its channel, won him fame fame, has for many years since leaving the navy used his energies and means to fight the drug traffic. Last year 75.000 girls disappeared from their homes to swell the stream of youth pouring Into the criminal pur­ suits, Capt. Hobson said. The majority went the drug path. The problem of addiction has become a world problem arid is faced by every country. "Is It not at this time the duty o! all good Americans to spend freely in order to help business?" This question and others of similar import have of late found their way many times into letters reaching the writer of these lines. It is quite natural that such questions should arise when business conditions are somewhat be­ low normal. It must be borne in mind that what would be considered good advice to one person would be very unsound advice to another. It is true that everything possible should be done to develop greater business activity. Cer­ tainly. this cannot be accomplished if everyone is to hoM aloof from spend­ ing money.

REPORT the activities of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) during the past year and- an importanhannouncement to the public A RADIO PROGRAM OF UNUSUAL INTEREST 9:30-10:50pjn., (C T.,) Vtdnoday, March 12tb WILL ROGERS • SOUSA'S BAND MADAME LOUISE HOMER EDWARD G. SEUBERT, President Oil defaaj (Indiana) 1HURSDAY, MARCH 6, the stockholders b of Standard Oil Company (Indi- a ana) held their | ‘ annual meeting. Several of the matters brought up at that meeting are of possible interest not only to stock­ holders who could not be present, but to the employees of the Company and to the public as well. With more than 87,000 owners, with a working force of40,000 people, and with approximately 35,000 dealers who distribute its products, the Com­ pany naturally plays a considerable part in the industrial life and business pros­ perity of the territory which it serves. Wc therefore are pleased to report that the past year has been one of the most successful in its history. One of the outstanding events of the year was the acquisition of controlling interest in the Pan American Petroleum and Transport Company. This gives Standard Oil Company (Indiana) an international organization, serving not only many sections of the United States but a number of Central and South American countries as well. It gives the Company a remarkable reserve of crude oil among the finest of the world's oil fields. The year has also seen a wide extension of Standard Oil serv- WGHP . WOWO KMOX. KFH...............

F«x« ice throughout its immediate territory. Service has been increased both to the dty motorist and to the farm. The needs of our farm customers have grown greatly in recent years. Over 20 percent of all farms in the states served by Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are now equipped with trac­ tors as well as motor cars. Thousands of them produce their own electric power by means of the gasoline engine. Our Company pioneered in serving the farm and this tradition is being maintained by increasing our facilities each year throughout the farming area. The past year, however, has been suc­ cessful in more than a business way. It has been marked by achievements of interest to .everyone who drives a car. We are fortunate in the possession of one of the greatest oil research labora­ tories in the world, out ofwhich are com­ ing discoveries of first rank importance in the making of petroleum products. Last fall, after considerable experi­ mental work, we developed a greatly improved Ethyl Gasoline—the new Red Crown Ethyl. The essential feature ; of this product was the perfec­ tion of a gasoline base of un­ usually high quality with which ' j\ we combined the Ethyl com1 pound. Its rapid acceptance by the public was hardly unexpected —but it has been gratifying, none the less. Now we are prepared to announce a further manufacturing achievement For many months this Company has been working to perfect a new product. The work has been completed. Tests of the product, both in the laboratory and under service conditions, have more than met our expectations. We are con­ vinced that it will prove a contribution both to the pleasure and economy of driving a car. This product will be announced in a special program to be given over the radio on Wednesday, March 12 th. Because of the character of the announcement a program of unusual interest has been arranged—including Sousa's Band, Mme. Louise Homer and the well-known entertainer, Will Rogers. The broadcast begins at 9:30 P. M. Central Time and will be sent over a chain of fourteen leading stations. It fs hoped you will all listen in.

Paved, all-year-round highways have done much to remove country and state barriers and link the nation closer to­ gether. Fifty years ago it was not uncommon for a person to be born, live and diet without traveling a hundred miles from. his community. Now. due to the auto­ mobile and good roads, we can travel! hundreds of miles in a day. The entire Ti>e result has been a lessening of sectional jealousies and misunderstand­ ings and more frequent and friendly social and commercial contacts between people* of different stales. Provincial America Is no more. Unfortunately, the farmer has. to a great extent, been left out of the pic­ ture. The average farm road Is still at the mercy of rain and snow. It Is often a succession of ruts and mud holes. It is a barrier between the farmer and his market. « Road building programs should pro­ vide for an adequate mileage of feeder or farm-to-market roads. Year-round, efficient, long-wearing surfaces can be constructed at a low cost and without excessive maintenance expense. Good roads are the principal thing necessary to place agriculture on an equal footing with other great Industries. FARM ROADS NEEDED. A practical method of "farm relief" Is for every state to adopt a program of building farm-to-market roads as rapidly ns their budgets will allow. In the past the city dweller has re­ ceived most of the advantages accruing from the building of highways. The fanner, though one of our foremost taxpayers and producers, has not been given his share of improved roads. Social and commercial contact with the outside world, through the medium of low cost, hard surfaced highways, makes for more progressive and pros­ perous agriculture. So long as the millions of American farmers are kept from their markets during many months of the year, by unimproved roads, there will be a se­ rious farm problem. It is the duty ot every state to give agricultural dis­ tricts roads which are practical for travel all the year round. POPUNK. Mrs. Ray Erway entertained the: Yeckley.

It is essential, therefore, that you give careful thought to the best selection and know what yoh are getting for your automobile dollars. The difference in selling cost, combined with the low charges for financing and accessories, amounts to at least $50 to $75 on each car. This is as impor­ tant as economies in production in keeping down the price you pay for the new Ford. The first cost is important because it may mean an immediate, satisfactory saving. Of equal impor­ tance is the ultimate cost after thousands of miles of service. This ultimate cost is the true measure of automobile value. The low ultimate i. The NOTICE TO CREDITORS UNION JOINT STOCK LAND BANK first cost of the new Ford is unusually low not only because of economies in manufacturing, but because the same principles that inspire these savings are extended to every other step that means greater service to the public. It is easy to see that economies in production would be of little value if they were sacrificed later through high charges for distribution, selling, financing and accessories. The Ford dealer, therefore, does business on the same low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company. His discount or commission is twenty-five to fifty per cent lower than that of any other automobile dealer. You gain because he makes a small profit on many sales instead of a large profit on fewer sales. cost of the new Ford is the result of sound design, quality of material and unusual care in manufacturing. Friction and wear are reduced by tIn­ accuracy with which each part is made and assembled. These factors combine to decrease the cost of operation and add months and years to the useful life of the car. The good performance and low yearly depreciation of the new Ford are indicative of the enduring quality built into it at the factory. SERVICE charges are on the same fair, economical basis as the making and selling of the car and replace­ ment parts are always available at low prices through all Ford dealers. In two, three or five years, depend­ ing on how much you drive, the saving in operating and maintaining a new Ford will Amount to even more than the saving on the first cost. Think in terms of tomorrow, therefore, when you purchase an automobile. For tomorrow will reveal its true worth. D. 1930. ORDER TOR PUBLICATION. ORDER FOE PUBLICATION.

The lew' requires that ALL plans for new ymool build­ ings MUST BE SUBMITTED to that department, and must have their approvtb before they can‘be constructed. If buXding plans are not approved by this body, then public money cannot be used to Qay for the school building constructed 'according to plans which this state department does not approve The State Detriment of Public In­ strucUon is opposed to a basement un­ der a grade and Junior high school building. They not only insist that the expense for such a basement is un­ warranted. because of the limited use that would be made of such basement by the small children in the grades and Junior high, but they oppose it on grounds of public health, in this they have the undoubted sanction of the State Health Department. The Depart­ ment of Public Instruction is opposing basements in all school buildlngi, be­ cause they cannot be ventilated as they ought to be. They are especially op­ posed to basements in grade and Jun­ ior high buildings, because they claim thej are apt to be damp and that such dampness Is harmful to the little folks. They insist, therefore, that other plans than basement rooms be made for gymnasium or play rooms for pupils In grades and the Junior high.

SMITH Is Made Vlce-Preiidfint of the University—Continues as Secretary of Institution A fine honor has come to a former Hastings man, Shirley W. Smith, secre­ tary of the University at Ann Arbor, Michigan. President A. G. Ruthven of the University announced Thursday that, in a re-organization of the ad­ ministrative positions of the university. Shirley W. smith had been named vice president ns well as secretary. The change became immediately effective. Mr. Smith has been for many years secretary of the university. Last year he was made secretary and business man­ ager. He was born in this city, gradu­ ated from'our schools, then completed a course at the University of Michigan. He first located in Philadelphia, but was later recalled to Ann Arbor to take the position of secretary, which he has filled with ability and success. His many friends congratulate him upon the fine honor that has come to him. which Is a merited recognition of his excellent service to our university. As secretary of the University. Mr. Smith has earned the gratitude of many a Barry county boy by the friend­ ly interest he has taken in him after the student had started his work In the University. He has always been ready to help any worthy young man no matter what- pan of the state or county he came from; but he has al­ ways had an especially warm place in his heart for every Barry county stu­ dent st the University.

RESERVED SEATS ON'SALE AT PALMER’S DRUG STORE ON OR AFTER TUESDAY, MARCH 25th Auspices Chapter No. 7, Order of the Eastern Star "Invitation to the Dance." by Madge Jenison, is a book of quality. It is beautifully set up and printed, and the suggestion of luxury in the format U taught up in the story and later carried to a conclusion of smashing splendor. The plot Is rich in drama and In the kind of Improbable happenings which are always occurring in life. The first half of the book is sordidly realistic aa it tells of Aunt Ouddah's first steps tor ward life. She begins these faltering steps at the age of forty-four when she marries Unde Orlando. She has been left in relatively comfortable circum­ stances at her mother's death and for seven years after marrying Orlando she pillows him in softest ease and develops herself from a creature too timid ' to breathe aloud into a person who be­ comes a strange, motivating destiny tn many lives. The strength of the story lies in the plot development and I shall not lake away its surprises here except to say that the reader is shifted from scenes of grinding poverty to ones of other-world luxury: from Toledo. Ohio to California to Toledo. Spain. One misses no single class of American citizens, only a few American climates and no American enthusiasms. The writing and description are high­ ly individualistic. It has been wrought with pain out of this writer's soul. There are times when her crystal-clear sharp-etched words rock one with laughter and times when 'they wring one with sympathy. A keen, incisive in­ telligence has Madge Jenison, and much bitter wit and kindly wisdom. Parts of the book are very confused; thc vision of ita meaning being, per­ haps. so perfectly clear to the author that she does not realize we cannot follow her unwritten thought. Parts of it arc badly written, perhaps when she was driving herself. But this can be said of the entirety. None of it is unin­ teresting. To give you a taste of its quality I quote the opening sentence: "Aunt Guddah was one of those breaks in a family front who marry late and bad­ ly.” This seems to me a very classic among opening sentences and a fair sample of her style. Thc Dance referred to in the title is or course the dance of Ute and the story l> by way of showing how one woman richly Joined it.

Payne, an old and respected resident of thte city, passed away Tues­ day morning, March 11, 1930. Although he had been In poor health for some time, hte death was very sudden. Only the day before he had been able to be about hte home and in hte customary, friendly way to receive and entertain hte friends. Because of this apparently favorable condition of hte health, hte sudden death was a great shock to hte many friends in the community. Mr. Payne was born on the paternal farm east of the city on July 11, 1862. He married Miss Edna Barnhart, March 6. 1881. who passed away in 1927. To thte union were bom two sons, Willie and Levi, the former dying in 1924. He te survived by hte son. Levi and wife, Gertrude of Grand Rapids, Mrs. Bertha Payne, wife of Willie, by his sister, Mrs. Lilly Pettit, and by four grandchildren and one great grand­ child. / . N Mr. Payne was always interested In public affairs and ready for the per­ formance of any duty hte fellow-citi­ zens imposed upon him. Since becom­ ing a resident of Hastings, in 1917, he has been n member of the common lng as aiderman from the first ward at the time of hte death. As. a member of the Masonic frater­ nity he was especially prominent, hold­ ing very ably and acceptably, many offices In Hastings Lodge No. 52. F. and A. M.; Hastings Chapter No. 68. R- A. M.; and Hastings Eastern Star Chapter No. 7. O. E. B. He was also a member of Giblum Council. No. 49. R. and fl. M. and at one time served on the Masonic Association. He was a past master ot the Blue Lodge, a past high priest of the Chapter and a past worthy patron of the Eastern Star.

Tho financial statement just released evidences' 1929 as thc most successful year in tho Company's history. To tho great public, whose enthusiastic nnd con­ tinued patronage hna made thia jtoasiblc, the Company returns appreciative thanks. To the army of 27.122 employes, who have so aNv curried out the policy of the Company In giving to tne public a OOmjJelo and satisfying service, much credit u» due. During the past year, this Company has taken n great stride forward by acquiring control of Pan ^American Petroleum nnd Transport Company and subaidiariea with ita five million acres of oil fan'll, thus providing an assured source of crude petroleum and securing expanded marketing facilities. This Company has likewise extended its market­ ing facilitiee in the great Hocky Mountain area through the Midwest Refining Company. Now the touring motorist will find Standard Oil Company (Indiana) emblems of friendly, satisfying aerviin in much naw territory. Tho n»>tori»to of the Middle West have been, cpiick to accept the New Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline, introduced late in 1929. They have grasi>e<l tho sig­ nificance of a fuel that meets perfectly the needs rd the new high compression engine and lends new life to the veterans of the highway. An accurate idea of the degree of acceptance hr the public of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) prod­ ucts is reflected in sales of 39.017,894 barrels of finished petroleum products In 1929 as compared with 35,432,806 barrels in 1928. The latest achievement of the Manufacturing Department is lhe development of a new motor oil—which finds expression in New Iso-Vis and New Polarine, being introduced with great promise to lhe public, coincident with the publication of this message. The sucreM of the Stock Purchasing Plan is emphasized by pointingout that after being in effect nine years, approximately 75% of the stock distrib­ uted under this plan remains in the hands of em­ ployes—which demonstrates the value of employe partnership. The Stock Purchasing Plan, lhe Annuit y Plan and the Death Benefit Plan constitute the mansgetnent's tangible expression of ita appreciation of the unwav­ ering loyalty and tireless efforts of lhe employes. The Board of Directors is gratified by the con■tanlly mounting number or stockholders—now 81,022. This is approximately 30,000 more than With this rapidly spreading ownership it i*enu certain that 1930 will be another year of achieve­ ment—greater in progress, greeter in opportunity to aerve the millions of people who call the Middle West home.

Carr, Assistant Extenston Director: . "Dear Sir. The writer understands that A iron t Paul Rnrsf that nair our CViimtv County Agent Rood han has resigned as such county agent, his resignation to take effect early in April. J am writing to ask you what plans are being made for a successor to Mr. Rood throughout the reft of the year 1930. for which the usual onefourth mill appropriation has been made? "If no plans have been made, what are the factors which seem to prevent the formulation and execution of such plans? 1 “What could and should be done to provide a successor to Mr. Rood, and I when should this be dqnr? “The writer Is Interested In having extension service coqtlnued. because he 1 believes it Is a matter of vital interest to the welfare ot this county—especially tn Ita am-loiiltiiral to Ila agricultural interest*. interests, which are the largest in this county. That is the reason why I have written you in re­ gard to this matter and will be pleased to hear from you at an early date." Our readers will be interested in Mr. Carr’s reply, which Is as follows:' "Your anxiety regarding plans for a successor to Mr. Rood as County Agent In Barry county, I can appreciate. “Your Board of Supervisors appoints a committee on agriculture but gives them no authority to handle extension A Sta tement of Policy To serve the Public —our policyholders — promptly and equitably; that is the aim of this Company and its reason for existence. It is common knowledge that the number ot motor vehicle accidents and fatalities even in pro­ portion to cara driven ia increasing yearly. This fact, more than anything elae, has brought home bile insurance. This fact, more than any other, account* for an almost annual upward revision of rates. Constant change* of condition* in the Automo­ bile Insurance business made evident to the 1929 Michigan Legislature that certain legislation wa* nice nary to protect the public. This Company anticipated four year* in advance of legislative action thc need for applying these safeguards. Any change* in rates, therefore, will continue to reflect only actual loss experience. Increases in rates will never be used for thc purpose of accu­ mulating reserves or surplus beyond the margin of absolute safety. As long a* thc need of Automobile Insurance continues, this Company will exist to fill that need with a service increasingly good—paying Cofit* to it* policyholder* in the form of the west possible rate* consistent with the kind of adjustment* to which they are entitled. V. V. Moulton, PrtiUmt. gduto-Owners INSURANCE COMPANY MICHIGAN matters. Consequently lhe hiring of an agent must be handled by the whole board, and they do not meet again until after Mr. Rood leaves. “At the time' they convened to con­ sider Mr. Rood's resignation the mat­ ter of a successor came up. Various supervisors mentioned the necessity of a real man to continue the kind of program needed in Barry county. They are right. Of course, the salary that your board has fejen paying an agent will not attract or hold the best agents tat least twenty-flve counties In the State pay more). It would, however, normally hire a good man who might develop into one of the beat. We have Several of this kind in mind* that we could“recommend to you, but all such men have Jobs now and would not be Interested ir. coming to Barry county with the extension horizon all clouded up. "Perhaps when your new board meets after election and after the people have voted they win be able to work out a plan for cooperating with the State and Federal Governments in the hiring of extension workers that will avoid a continuation of gnef we have had the past year and make the Job lock attractive tn another man. "The usual plan in other counties, after the Supervisors make the appro­ priation. is to give a committee of their own members authority to hire and handle other details of expenditures and program. This makes It easier to keep things running along smoothly. “I can see no way of avoiding some delay in getting another mafi In there. And I certainly hope the whole mat­ ter gets squared away so that we can go full steam ahead again. •We believe extension work has been of real value In Barry county, that there is much more to be don? and that there are plenty of people there with whom we can work to help wive farm problems." Our readers can understand why the State College authorities will hestitate about doing anything for Barry coun­ ty until we settle in the right .way the proposition of county extension work. If the majority of the voters shall ap­ prove. as we hope they will, there need be no doubt about the hearty coopera­ tion of the State College and the state agricultural extension service.

BAN 26,000 UNFIT CARS FROM ROADS Safety Plan to Coat One Mil­ lion Dollars in This Area Twenty-six thousand unfit automo­ biles will be removed from Michigan highways during the coming year under the national Highway Safety Plan, which ia being undertaken by the vari­ ous companies in the automobile in­ dustry. as announced by tiie National Chamber of Commerce. The program will Involve the expenditure of close to at,000.000 In this state. Nationally, the motor companies plan to scrap 400.­ 000 old automobiles in 1930, at a cost of about 115X100.000. The program is characterized as “perhaps the greatest single safety move in Industrial history." by Alvan Macauley. president of the Auto Cham­ ber. and former chairman of its Street Traffic Committee. "This widespread experiment will strike right at the heart of the unsafe vehicle problem by eliminating a huge block of those cars which are in the poorest condition." says Mr. Macauley. "The rattle-trap car is only one fac­ tor in the accident difficulty. Unsafe. Incompetent, and reckless drivers, as well as reckless pedestrians, cause a large proportion of the accidents. Blind curves and other highway defect* are also to blame. The Industry hopes, however, that this drive for the ex­ termination of unsafe cars will set a standard of action which will be help­ ful to the entire situation." One of the hazards of thc highway situation has been the rattle-trap car which keeps reappearing on the road after it has presumably been sent to thc discard. The alm ot this program is to guarantee the actual scrapping of the vehicle. The plan will be worked out by each company participating, in line with its general sales policies and the volume of Ita production. SOUTHWEST RUTLAND. Mr. and Mr*.

The plan is to have this a real community auditorium. The school may have occasional uses for if, but it is intended for a public auditor­ ium. for public gatherings of all kinds. So long as there are no objectionable features they will be welcome. It will be convenient for political gatherings, for entertainments put on by lodges, or any other organisation, snd for all types of large public meetings. The rental will be Just enough to cover the healing, lighting and janitor service. It Is not to be operated for profit, but as a sort of public utility. Hastings has long needed such a place. The present High school auditorium ought not to be used for these public purposes, because it is primarily intended as a session room for the High school pupils, and beckuse the High school itself has so many entertainments or gatherings which preclude its being opened to the public for general use. But that will not apply to the new auditorium. The school board have put themselves squarely on record in favor of the pub­ lic use of this new auditorium, have also agreed that there will be no charge for It when any entertainment Is put on with all the net proceeds for the benefit of some community proposition, like the hospital. Hastings can con­ gratulate Itself on having such an au­ ditorium provided in the new building. The board of education are entitled, to a great deal of credit for the result’ because of the open-handed, openminded way in ‘which they presented the issue. Every card was put on the table, face up. There was nothing con­ cealed. Everything was as 0|>en and plain as ■ unlight.

In fact before the census Is taken In April, a* much as possible. Governor Green and Superintendent of Education.

According to figure* given by the department there were, when the 1930 census was taken, a total number of M.046 Illiterates 10 years old or over in this, state. This included 14.172 native white Illiterate*, 70,535 foreign born whites, 2203 Illiterate negroes. 40411 males of voting age. 36.802 women ot voting age, 27,606 rural illiterates and 60,440 urbanites who were Illiterate. Of the 85.613 of voting age. all but 2.433 cast the ballot Tire percentage In the state is 30, which is much high­ er than It should be, Barry county was credited with 105 residents who could neither read nor write.

Then the dty will have an Investment of something nke 800,000. u Mayor Perry's plan Is carried out wt will not owe a dollar , at bonds, which will ba fine. The questton next comes: What will be the ally'* policy In handling the ex­ pense necessary to operate the sewage disposal plant? It will have cost the city 860.000. It will require the services ot same one to look after the pump and see that the disposal plant itself is operating properly. Pumps wear out; searage disposal plants deteriorate. It Is probably unwise to expect this city to take care of ths sewage from the homes, factories, and business places of Hea­ tings without compensation for lhe act­ ual expense of operation and also pro­ viding a fund for replacement*, which will be necessary from time to time How should this be done? That la an important question. Grand Rapids Is meeting this situa­ tion by a fixed charge, according to the sire of the home or business place, for caring for the sewage through its sewer system. Orand Rapids will have an Investment in its system of some­ thing likd 83,000.000. But that Is no more In proportion than Hastings will have In its 860400 plant. Grand Rapids is planning to fix the charge io that the revenue tram those who make use of the sewer system will pay for the cost of operation and upkeep. That seems a sensible thing to do. We have a considerable time yet in Hastings to decide what la the best way to handle this matter; but It ta something that thoughtful cillrens ought to be con­ sidering. with the view of reaching -a solution that will be fair and reason­ able: one that will take care of costa.

Our dty has several street* where tills could be sucssafully tried out. Part of lhe expenses would be borne by the taxpayers. The individual cow. would be comparatively small. The plan adopted In Van Buren county, after thorough test, amount* really to an asphalt paving, not so thick a* that used on streets In big dtlea The plan followed In Van Buren coun­ ty la first to grade the previously graveled highway, then thoroughly clean it by removing all the sand that might beontopoflLaoutogeta hard base. Then there is applied a coat­ ing of liquid asphalt. On top of that is placed a coat of crushsd lime rock, the particles being about the site 0( pea .v.. gravel. This M is rolled, —then another coaling of asphalt, followed by another coat of the crushed lime rock. This pro­ ceu Is carried on until there are five coats each of asphalt and Ums rock. It ' makes a paving from one and one-half to two inches thick. That is strong enough to handle all kinds of traffic except heavy trucking, which should always be limited to the eernent paving. Van Buren county finds that, to eover a road 16 to IS feet wide with this material, coats 82,000 per mile. Probably for a full width street the expanse would be 83.000 per ptlle, which would make the coat around 117 for a four rod frontage, which la vary much cheaper STUDENTS ENTERING than cement.

Thomas H. Frye, son of Michael and Fannie Frye, was born In Erie county. Pennsylvania. August 18, 1848, and passed away at his home near Doster March 13. 1930, aged 80 years, six months and 22 days. At the age of 16 he came with his parents to Michigan and settled on a farm near Cressey. In 1872 he was united in marriage to Laura A. Wilson. To them were born seven children, Irving. George. Ida. Edith. Frank. Charles and Edward George, Frank. Charles and Edward passed away in childhood. Edith mar­ ried and resides at Jackson, Michigan. Irving remained at home. With the ex­ ception of a four years residence at Augusta. Mr. Frye had made his home in Prairieville township. He was a man of strong will and inclined to be skep­ tical in tils views. Before deaiding he always viewed a problem from as many angles as possible. Having once decided. he was firm* In upholding his convic­ tions. He was very ambitious, a trait which even old- age could not curb. He loved tfuBic, especially the violin, which he learned to play when a boy. Late In life, he joined the Free Masons lodge at Orangeville and was later, with his fellow members, trans­ ferred to the lodge at Plainwell. He al­ ways enjoyed the meeting and regret­ ted that he had not become a member years before. Besides the family already men­ tioned. he leaves to mourn two sisters, Mrs. Charles Falley of Burbank.

The tariff controversy is a perfect illustration of much talk and little acUon. This, of course, is the way it should be from the political standpoint There Is no drama in sound economics and unbiased statesmanship. Rhetorical bickering is the stuff of which votes are made. But from the viewpoint of the wage­ earners. farmers and manufacturers of this country, the situation la a serious one. We cannot expand and progress to the limit of our potentialities eo tong as wc do not know what position we will be in competing with foreign jrroducers iu Hie American market. AH we can do is wait and hope. And. in lhe meantime, the tariff will remain one ot the main attractions of the political circus—a show held at public expense. ♦ At The Trio Cafe We buy only the Highest Grade and Best Foods and Materials A Splendid Menu Every Day Try the TRIO for a Good Meal B iMBSMtinBtck USED CAR SALE Saturday, March 29th A USED CAR OFFERED EACH HOUR OF THE DAY 8 to 9 A.

Matthew Perry Hall, youngest son of Perry and Nora Hall, was born Ln Rut­ land township. August 15. 1019. and passed away at Pennock hospital. March 15, 1230, age 10 years, 7 months. Matthew was the youngest of six chil­ dren and leaves to mourn, his loving parents, two brothers. Willard of Kal­ amazoo. Daniel of Hastings, three sis­ ters. Mrs. Mildred MUler of Hastings. Marjorie and Ruth at home, an aged grandfather, an aunt and uncle and one niece and one nephew. The teacher and school mates, they too will miss him- There will be a vacant seal. Hosts of neighbors and friends will miss his smiling face, for Matthew was a very bright and winsome little fellow and was Way beyond his years in seeing the bright side of life. He was ready and willing to go to be with Jesus, who said "Butler the little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for auch is the kingdom of heaven and He took them Into His arms and biassed them." It seems like we can see him now. safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on his gentle breast. We know not why God picks our choicest bids only to btooaom in Hea­ ven. We can only bow in compliance to His will and wait the dawn (o a bet­ ter day when we shall meet never Today our hearts are sad and lonely.

Final figure* give the total attend­ ance a* 4510 for the four sessions. Last year the attendance was 5048 for five session*. The gate receipts amounted to 8109250. Included in this 81092.50 were 603 student season tickets at 50 dent*, 8301.50; 102 public season tick­ et* at 81.00, 1102.00; 1040 preliminary game ticket* at 35 cents. 8364.00 and 650 final game tickets at 50 cents. 8325.00. Out of this total were first deducted the expenses for referee*, trophlea, and balls, amounting to 8160.54. leaving a balance of 892256 to be divided as fol­ lows:—seventy per cent of the 8922.96, or 6546.07 was paid to the competing schools; 20 per cent. 8184.59, was paid to the entertaining school; 10 per cent, 192.30 went to the State Association, leaving a balance of 8328.37. The sum of 1348.27. or 75 per cent of this sur­ plus was paid to lhe State Association, leaving 882.10, or 25 per cent, for the Hastings school. This made the amount received by Hastings 826859. out of which was de­ ducted the local expenses, 863.03. leav­ ing 8203.68-from the gate receipts. Again this year the expenses of the visiting teams for meals, lodging, transportation, and entrance fee. were met 100 per cent. Added to the amount that the local school received from the admLulons, was the sum realised from the conces­ sions, making a grand total of 8288.90. so Hastings High did not fare so badly after all. Much credit is a)ao due Mr. Simmons for his careful and thorough planning and the economy with which the tournament was conducted. INTERESTING LETTER FROM MRS. F.

Townsend, the letter being written from Cong. J. C. Ketcham's office in Washington, D. C. "We were so glad to hear from you in Kissimmee. We were there four weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. We had a lovely apartment and were very cozy. Oranges and grape fruit were given us In abundance and bow I wished we could have sent some home, but the quarantine stopped that. "Leon has gained so much. He walks miles, drives the car. ploys golf. etc. “We have been having a fine time here and expect to leave Sunday morn­ ing for home. We will probably arrive Wednesday or Thursday. It certainly will be nice to be home again. "We left Kissimmee and drove to DeLeon Springs where a Minnesota friend lives, had a dandy visit and drove the next day to Daytona Beach. Saw Mr. Kaye Don and his Silver Bullet on the beach. His sister christened it that day. Our next stop was St. Augustine. Such an interest­ ing stop. Visited the alligator and os­ trich farm. 6,000 alligators—whew! One 900 years'old and another weighs 1,200 lbs. We visited old Fort Marion, the oldest house, slave market, city gates and drank from "The Fountain of Youth." Jacksonville was Just a big dty and so we only stayed over night. Savannah next and we visited an old Southern plantation. Saw our first oy'ter beds and as the tide was out, could see them very well. "Well, we are up in Mr. Ketcham's office and will go over and see the li­ brary. We had a launch trip over to Fort Sumter and Moultrie and it was very interesting.

The Women's club meeting of March 21, In charge of the Literature depart­ ment, was of unusual interest. "The Modern Novel as an Interpreter of Life" was the subject for the day's program, which was treated in a very capable and interesting manner by Miss Letitia Foster. The speaker quot­ ed the opinion of many of the leading critics On the modern novel and said that "each author writes of Ufe aa he sees it." "One is shown that the novel is contemporary social history, or a slice of the life" and time from which the au­ thor creates.” "That there Js a trend or period in Action as in architecture and furniture." Mrs. C. E. Orohe led in an informal discussion by asking ques­ tions pertaining to the modern novel. Burton and Mrs. L- L. Dewey. Current topics, ••Activities at Wash­ ington," by Mrs. H. J. Brown.

Thu curious title 1* derived from a designation of a style of architecture of the period, and. as much of the ac­ tion takes place in a house of this type. Mra.

Vance Weston. Undoubtedly something of Mrs. Wharton’s intellecutal adventurra and disappointments enters in and will prove most Interesting to gen­ uine lovers of her work, but structural­ ly and actually the story cannot be her Vance comes from a raw mid-wootarn town to live with some relatives near New York City. He is at the time too young and crude to know wliat he wants in life but he gets an idea when he b allowed to use the library In the old house. Filled with priceless tomes and irreplaceable manuscripts, it holds nggrly all the learning In the higher arts that the world affords. He Is seized with an Idea and ■ passion. He will show the world what he himself can do. The ancient, pitiful cry of. youth which the years so quickly । stifle I Shortly after that he meets Halo ; Trant, a lovely and brilliant girl who fulfills his ideal completely, but she is so far above him socially that he does not think of loving her. Halo marries a man of her own • world who haa Just gone into the pub­ lishing business. He sees possibilities in Vance and coldly proceeds to use him , In unethical ways to win a certain lit­ erary prize for the glory of his house. Vance marries his young and help­ less cousin. Laura Lou, and their pitiful attempts to achieve mental and spirit­ ual communion, bith being tempera­ mentally impossible to thep, are graphically portrayed. Then follows the inevitable drifting of Vance away from his wife and his equally inevi­ table. shamefaced returns. Laura Lou is not bitter or spiteful: she simply exudes the terrific force of helplessness.; the call of which the chivalry of men , can quite refuse. Mrs. Wharton works out this dlffi- [ cult situation exactly as It might work out in life, which Is. of course, the aim of good writing. The entire book la free from hysteria; It is not glittering as is "The Children" or set in sump­ tuous elegance aa is “Tiro Age of In­ nocence." It is the quite ordinary, ex­ cept for Vance's undeniable genius, story of quite ordinary people. It goes without saying that the book is perfect M to diction and construc­ tion. Mra. Wharton's consummate ar­ tistry assures one of that in any work of her’s. There have been few figure* in his­ tory more interesting than Abraham Lincoln. There have been few btoirraphera of the outstanding ability of Emil Ludwig. Consequently when Mr. Ludwig present* his study of the life of Lincoln, we have a highly interest­ ing piece of literature. The most important point about thU biography Is that it does exactly what it should. It reports faithfully on the man himself and leaves the times to historians. This seems to me most commendable. A man may be explained somewhat—his words and motives de­ lineated truthfully, and his history Mt down on paper. But when It comes to interpreting the times. Mr. Ludwig, be­ ing foreign-bom and shrewd, wisely leaves that to others. The result I* a remarkable and thrill­ ing story of Lincoln's life. We quote, for your amusement, the following from the "Saturday Review of Literature." "Good-bye To All Thatl” “The engaging title of Mr. Robert Grave's new book is far too good not to steal. Echoes of desire ring back to it from the weary mind. “Good-bye to all that! Good-bye to long dull stories of morons tangled in their own crude desires, stories pro­ claimed for their truth, as if liu ‘ruth really mattered. Good-bye to sexy nar­ rative* that go Just beyond decency and stop Just short of wk. Good-bye to de­ tective romances written by authors just ingenious enough to invent a plot that having no rational solution must be explained in a chapter of solid lead at the end—Good-bye to stories of young ladles who thought It right to go wrong. Good-bye to safari books with pictures of dead animals and bad­ ly nourished blacks. Good-bye to dull, flat cheap books precisely like a hun­ dred other dull, flat cheap books, with publishers* blurbs on the fie*, saying THIS is the book you have been wait­ ing for, tills is literature! Good-bye to that Good-bye to nasty stories of nasty boys and girls who In the imagination of the usually middle-aged author do whatever they do nastily. Good-bye to all tha‘. and to him too, for the boys and girl* are getting old enough to write about themselves, and their re­ port* are quite different." BOOKS RECENTLY ADDED TO THE L1BBARY. Fiction.

Mr. Keer collided with an­ other car at a street intersection in Durand.

TRIP GIVEN Lost week 58 boys and men from Michigan took a trip through the south visiting eight different states and many points of Interest in that section of the country. Nine of the boys and two of the men were from Barry county. Those from Barry county who made the trip were Mr. Angell, Hdmcr Bauchman, Walter Heath. Carl Wesplntcr, and Cranston Wilcox of Hastings, Mr. McClure. Clifton Baxter, Carl Brown, and George Wotring of Nashville, and Donald Perkins of Freeport. The entire group of 58 started out Monday morning. March 24. In eleven cars and drove to Fort Wayne. Indiana, for lunch, after which they drove to Louisville, Kentucky. Monday night the boys stayed in the Y. M. C. A. in Louisville where they slept on mats In the gymnasium. After breakfast Tues­ day morning the group set out again. At Bardstown. Kentucky, several of the cars took the wrong road but they were fortunate for they visited the place where Stephen Collins Foster wrote several of hls songs, one of which is "My Old Kentucky Home." The homestead bears this name. It & a typical mansion of thp south and the house' and grounds interested the boys greatly. The cars then went back to Bards­ town and took the correct road to Hodgensville. five miles from which Is Lincoln's birthplace. The log cabin In which Lincoln was bom is still In the ■ I I 1 1 । | ' | bom but it is enclosed by another building to protect It. At the bottom of the hill upon which the house Is situat­ ed |s the well where Abrahain Lincoln got water. Of course everyone drank some of the water from this well. The cave district was then visited and the entire company ate in Cave City in the midst of the caves. Immediately after lunch they left for the famous Mam­ moth Cave. After registering and purchasing tickets each person was given a lantern and everybody entered the cave. The different rooms, all of which were named, were visited amidst much winding in and out among the rocks and the stairs led down to a depth of about 350 feet below the sur­ face. The most interesting parts of the cave were the frozen Niagara Falls and ] Crystal River. Onyx formations that were almost perfect replica of Niagara Falls were seen. This was made more attractive by the use of flood lights. Crystal River is a river 400 feet be­ low the surface In which the famous blind fish live. Everyone took a boat ride on lhe river and the fish could be seen swimming around In the water. [ The outlet of the cave was about three miles from the entrance and the boys were taken back In autos. Leaving Mammoth Cave, the fellows | started for Bowling Green. Kentucky. । where they ate. They then set out for j Nashville. Tenn., where- they stayed for t£e night. After breakfast the next morning, the group left for Florence, Alabama. Many of .the fine southern mansions were seen on this trip. The attraction nt Florence Is Muscle Shoals, which is I a short distance out of the city. The cars drove over the mile bridge which Is directly over the huge dam. The huge power house In which it Is possible to develop 610.000 horse-]x»wer was visited and ttye boys got a close-up view of the immense dam. From Muscle Shoals the route led across Alabama and Ten­ nessee and through the mountains to Chattanooga. Thursday, the day was spent in sight-seeing around Chattanooga. Many of lhe most famous battle-fields of the Civil war were visited Two buses took the entire group to Mission­ ary Ridge. Lookout Mountain, arid Chickamauga. Ga„ in the morning. Most of the boys took the incline rail­ way up Lookout Mountain. The track lends up the mountain al a 72.7 degree angle. Everyone was excited for fear that the cable might break. Thu^day afternoon some of the fellows took an­ other trip around the city. They visit­ ed one of the large cotton mills and saw cotton made into thread. Other places of especial interest in Chatha* nooga were visited. On Friday morning the group started for Knoxville. Tenn., where according to schedule they were to stay for the night. Arriving there about noon it was decided to go on farther. Cumber­ land Gap was traversed and the route led for a short distance through Vir­ ginia. Many of the more ambitious boys climbed one of the Ciunbcrland mountains near the Gap. By some misunderstanding part of the group stayed in Berea and part of It in Lexington. Kentucky. Friday night. Those who stayed in Berea visited Berea college for mountain whites Saturday morning. The fellows who slept in Lexington visited the large race tracks and saw Man O' War. the famous racehorse. They also visit­ ed Henry Clay's home. The entire group ate in Lexington at noon and in the afternoon drove to Cincinnati. Sunday morning the trip from Cin­ cinnati to Dayton was made before breakfast. Alter breakfast everyone started for home Thd Hastings dele­ gation arrived home about 4:30 Sun­ day afternoon.

ENUMERATORS BE­ GIN CEJSU5 IMG Every Hastings Voter Is Interested In Facte Taken From the Official Records of This City Showing What Has Been Ac­ complished in the Past Six Years ofSuccessful Administration of City Affairs on the "Pav-As- We-Co” Plan, Introduced by and Carried Out Under Mayor Perry. So We Know This Will Interest YOU WORK STARTS TODAY, APR. j 2, IN EVERY SECTION OF THESE UNITED STATES March IS, 1*24, The City of Hasting, owed on Paving Bond., the cum of____ $36,366.05 March 15, 1930, Thi.

Bonded Debt Ha* Been Reduced in Six Year*_ 29,809.90 That Mean, a Yearly Sav­ ing in Intere.t at 5% of Nearly______________ 1,500.00 The City now has in its Interest and Sinking Fund in cash, the sum of $4,500.34, as shown by the City Treas­ urer’s report, to apply on the $6,556.15 of outstanding bonds. The difference of $2,055.81 will be more than made up by what the property owners, living on the paved street for which the paving bonds were issued, will pay as their share of the cost of paving. Thus it can be seen that while there are $6,556.15 of outstanding bonds owed by the city, this city now has in the sink­ ing fund more than enough to pay its share of them. The bonds will be re­ tired this year and next. HASTINGS CITY IS, THEREFORE, OUT OF DEBT. WE OWE THIS TO THE WISE AND CAREFUL MANAGE­ MENT OF OUR CITY AFFAIRS UN­ DER MAYOR PERRY. In the last three years 70 rods on East Mill street, 60 rods on South Broadway, 70 rods on South Jefferson have been paved with cement, a total of 200 rods; also 200 rods of Tarmac laid; AND NO BONDS SOLD to pay for them. There is a cash balance of $3,113.25 on hand in the paving fund, and $5,886.92 is due to the city from property owners, on parts of the above streets that have been paved as their share of the cost of pav­ ing. So the city now has in cash and due from property owners mentioned above enough to pave 160 rods more, without selling bonds. In other words, we are getting our main travelled streets paved without bonding under the pay-as-we-go plan. In 1925 this city was notified by the State Board of Health and by the State Department of Conservation that it must build a sewage disposal plant and cease to dump sewage into the Thornapple river. The order required that this be done within a limit of five or six years. Such a plant would cost $60,000.00 for nearly four miles of sanitary sewers, a sewer pumping plant, connections and the disposal plant. Our city got busy, has completed the line of sewers, con­ nected them up, representing an outlay of $25,000.00. It has over $15,000.00 in cash on hand, as shown by the city treasurer’s report, to pay for the build­ ing of a pump house, the purchase of a sower pump and the building of the foundations for the disposal plant. With the city tax levy of next July and the levy made in July 1931, the balance to complete our sewage disposal plant will be raised, the plant will be built in 1981, and NOT A DOLLAR OF BONDS SOLD. Had Hastings done as other cities do, wo would have sold $60,000.00 bonds and be paying $3,000.00 a year interest. You, Hastings Citizens, are dyeing saved that $3,000.00 by the wise, careful and helpful- administration we have had in Hastings for the past six years under Mayor Perry. • While our city has been paying about $30,000.00 of bonds and investing $40,- 000.00 in a sewer system—which the state required us to build—all done un­ der the ieadershiip of Mayor Perry— we have not neglected other needed city improvements. ' In the past six years over seven miles of our city streets have been graded and gravelled; over two miles of new side­ walks constructed; over three miles of streets curbed and guttered. The streets of Hastings have never been in as good condition as right now. Mayor Perry has interested himself in getting the State Highway Department to do several miles of cement paving within this city on the State trunk lines, and with other citizens has, at his own expense, made many trips to Lansing to urge and se­ cure such paving. In that six years the water mains have been largely extended. The city is now investing about $5,000.00 in a new elec­ tric pumping plant—and the city has the cash to pay for it. Not a dollar needs to be borrowed. When Mayor Perry was first elected Mayor in 1924, the treasurer’s report showed several of the city funds over­ drawn. Tho City Treasurer’s report on March 15, this year, shows a NICE CASH BALANCE IN EVERY CITY FUND, AMPLE TO LAST UNTIL AU­ GUST 1 NEXT WHEN THE CITY TAX LEVIED NEXT JULY, WILL BE AVAIL­ ABLE. The city tax rate is as fixed by our charter since Mayor Perry was elected Mayor in 1924. While we are pay­ ing larger taxes in Hastings, we are not paying more city taxes. The increase is due to increased state, county and road taxes. Neither the school nor city taxes have been increased. Would it not be wise, and is it not due to Mayor Perry to re-elect him this year, so that he cah see the sewer project through to completion? The record of six years shows what kind of an administration we can expect for the next two years if Mayor Perry shall be re-elected. When we have a Mayor who gives such painstaking attention to the inter­ ests of this city, and he is willing to ac­ cept it for another term, is it not wise to keep him on the job? We have had six years of his careful management on the pay-as-we-go plan. Is it not for the city’s interest and for your interest to keep him working for the benefit of this city for another ^erm? We think so. Would the owners of any factory or business let an executive go if, in six years he had kept all its affairs running smoothly, paid all the debts including all its bonds, kept the plant in good working order, added several thousands of dollars to its equipment, made many expensive permanent improvements in the plant itself, and at the end of six years had the cash on hand to meet the needs of the factory or business for sev­ eral months to come? Can you imagine the stockholders of any business letting such an executive go if he were willing to remain? You know they would keep that kind of an executive. Will it not be wise for Hastings to re­ tain the services of Mayor Perry as our city’s executive for another term because of the outstanding record he has made?

The Banner has ex­ plained before that our .county has $377,000 of outstanding rood bonds, drawing five per cent interest, or $18,500 a year. We see no reason why the county could not con­ duct this activity on the pay-as-you-go plan the same as the city of Hastings is doing, and that $18,500 of Interest would thus be saved. The figures have been published over the signature of County Clerk Hili proving that the entire cost to the county ot the county extension work was $5,400 in 1929. Of that amount the city of Hastings paid 27 per cent. In addition, we have received from the state $3,600 cash to be applied on sal­ aries of the two County Extension workers and substantially $2,000 worth of expert help, counting the actual lime salaries and traveling and other expenses.

Feeds! Eggs are down, and it is a hard matter to make a fair profit raising poultry. The principal item in the expense of raising poultry is the cost of feed, and another heavy.item is that some­ times there is a very serious loss when the chicks are small. The Michigan Farm Bureau has developed a feed that covers these points very'nicely. Their NEW MER-AL-MASH STARTER retails for less than three dollars a hundred, grows fine, large, healthy chickens, with bright eyes and robust yellow legs, pushes them along rapidly, and the mortality is remarkably light.

It is believed that planning and working through such a period will give both a more consequential and more economical result than as though the efforts were a year by year, piece­ meal operation. Tlie five year plan has been out­ lined largely with a view to the funds that it is estimated will be available. Keeping a close relationship between funds and performance, it Is (elt. will eventually deliver to the state a wellrounded system, duly paid for. The estimate of receipts on which the highway department Is basing its construdtive program is made up sub­ stantially as follows. On the basis of showings made in recent years. It is estimated that the number of motor vehicles to register will increase from 1.530,000. in 1929, to likely 1.810.000 by the year 1935. It is further estimated, on lhe basis of experience, that the average weight tax will range from an average of (15.80 In The year 1931 to on average of (16.35 in the year 1935. Reasoning similarly with respect to the gasoline tax, it is found that the average for 1931 will likely be (15.35 while in the year 1935 it will be (15.(0 a vehicle. Changing averages per car to expected totals, It is estimated that the weight and gasoline tax will have yielded (47,700,000 by the coming tn of 1931. By 1935 it lx estimated the re­ turns from the two sources will amount to (58.200000. While the Increase of expected re­ ceipts will be considerable during the five year period, yet the fixed charges, which must first be met out of high­ way funds, will Increase os well, Tak­ ing into account the fixed charges, it Is estimated that there wiU be left the sum of (24.200.000 for extension work by 1931. Going on through the five year period it is similarly estimated that there will be left, after fixed charges are paid, at the beginning of 1935 the sum ot (28050.000. While there will be something ot an increase in funds available for construction by 1KJ5. yet In the light of growing needs, such as grade separation, highway widening and the like, the Increase will not be at all in excess ot the expected need. Unless the highway laws remain sub­ stantially as at present, and unless the department can be left to estimate lhe funds which will be available, it is asserted that it will be quite impossible to carry out a program to run through a period of years. Unless there can be continuity of effort, the work ot one season merging into tv-t of (he next, the state highway effort cannot be carried forward with anything like the economy of time, effort and money that results from a program.

This morning when I drove to school Edna and I were acting like perfect fools. All at once the car did skid And we were more scared than a little kid. Sure enough we had a "flat." We had to change it and that was that. We clambered out and out. And began running round about. She grabbed the wrench and I the "jack." We thought sure we’d picked up a tack. The only jack-handle we had was a chisel We were almost sure it would be a fizzle. To set the Jack, we dug a hole Something like a little ground mole. We reared up that little old car But it didn't seem to go very far. Oh baby, was I mad? To hear me talk would make you sad. Edna giggled and laughed out loud And I blowed up like a great rain cloud. We yanked and twisted the darned old thing. Till I tho't sure it would all go blng. ' Finally the blamed old thing came off. We were so dirty It made us laugh. I hoisted up that old bock end. (We were so stiff we couldn't bend) Finally we got the old tire in And how we did Jump in merry din. We put all the tools under the seat Then we cleaned off our dirty feet.

While the collection Is pro­ । tected w-cw-u by oy insurance for ror fourteen iwsieen milmulion pounds—seventy million dollars in ; American money—the monetary value I of such pictures cannot be- estimated.

Raphael's, Maddelena Doni and the Leonardo sketches, would easily bring that sum. Supplementing Italy's premier collec­ tion are forty canvases from the United States and as many more from European galleries as well as England's own and the cream of King George's famous collection from Windsor and Buckingham palaces, including the Leonardo drawings. When we recall the vast sums of money that have been trekking across the Atlantic since 1800 from America for Italian masters, we mny know that the United States is represented by a very rich and gorgeous collection. Aside from our great galleries. Clarence Mackay, Pierpont Morgan, the Wldeners and many other American miliionaires are represented here. Mr. Mor­ gan's "Giovanna Tournabuoni" critics declare to be the most perfect of all iGhlrlandaJo's: Mr. Mackay's Botti[ celli's. Portrait of a Young Man is । probably the most characteristic of all 'that prized artist's paintings; Mr. [ Ralph Booth's. Portrait of a Youth by one of Milan's old masters, Boltraffio, Royal Cortlssoz declares "will prove one of tiie outstanding episodes of the show.” . ■ The latter was one of the pictures 1 remember marking when I went through the rooms because of its per­ sonal attraction to me. and being from Michigan I was naturally interested that it was owned by a Detroit man. Some enthusiasts were all for mak­ ing an effort to bring the entire col­ lection to America, but wiser heads concluded the risk was too great, that the loss of any of them would Im­ poverish the world. We could as­ semble right here In America a collec­ tion of Italian masterpieces that would “startle the world” only a bit less than the great London exhibition. The exhibit opened on New Year's day with a private showing and many speeches, the Royal family being rep­ resented by the Duke and Duchess of York. We were leaving for home the ninth so we went a few days after the opening. And such crowds as we en­ countered I I remember it as the moat exhausting and fatiguing day of my whole four months abroad. The rooms were soon crowded to suffocation. It was the only place in London where I found the air hot and stifling. But I shall always remember some of the great canvases I saw and had I been in London longer I would have gone 1 many times. Just as I was able to do in i Paris at the Louvre. The great value at course of this | particular exhibit was the assembling 1 of pictures from all over the world, en­ abling students and artists to study and । compare the work of certain painters side by side, possible before only by travelling long distances.

In other words doing the Job right in the beginning is reasonably wc.l as­ sured. In the entire country 120,000 census enumerators began their work Monday.

The results will be compiled as rapidly as iiossible when the returns rbach Washington. Two weeks are allotted to the enumerators to complete their work. When the task is completed, the cen­ sus takers will have had enough Inter­ esting and laughable, as well as dis­ gusting. experiences to make a book.

He felt cer­ tain. he said, that the Michigan Univer­ sity would have the finest athletic field and equipment of any collage or uni­ versity In the country. That is hls mission and that Is why he came back to Um> University after he felt that hls work as a coach had been finished. In talking to the young people he stressed the necessity of being strictly honest. A He never can gel anyone anyhere, he said. He said that he would no more think of letting a liar become a member of hls football team than lie would of chooeing a burglar. The liar might not do as great harm to others, but he would be a menace to the team. He had learned from obaervation and experience that if a person will lie for you he will also He about you. so could never be depended upon. He said that tricks and underhanded methods would never get a boy any­ where. He had never permitted a per­ son who thought he could get by with tricks to have any part on hls football teams. One never could tell where he would find such a person. He wanted on hls football teams young jnen who could be depended upon and ready to deliver their best at all times. He wanted young men too for hls football teams who are clean in their lives— fellows who use clean speech, stand for clean things and come clean with any­ thing they undertake. And then prac­ tice. not alone the physical exercises to keep the body fit. but also the vir­ tues of honesty, cleanness and fair dealing.

When he concluded'his address, which he called "a visit with the young folks." he was heartily and enthusiastically applauded, evidencing their approval of the fine things he had said. Mr. Yost stated that he started out in life with a fixed purpose to do cer­ tain definite things; He wanted to build a good, sound, strong body and live a clean, wholesome physical life; he wanted to get a good education, so that he could make hls life as efficient as possible; he wanted to gain a charKit .Sm W iS? »"y emoMoiul round.. nor p.rueul».l> »hii because of the morals or lack of morals Vthat hJwiulrt live holt!

The principal item in the expense of raising poultry is the coat of feed, and another heavy item is that some­ times there is-a very serious loss when the chicks are small. The Michigan Farm Bureau has developed a feed that covers these points very nicely. Their NEW MER-AL-MASH STARTER retails for less than three dollars a hundred, grows fine, large, healthy chickens, with bright eyes and robust yellow legs, pushes them along rapidly, and the mortality is remarkably light. The price is less than oatmeal, and it is a fully bal­ anced ration. Come in and learn about it. HASTINGSICO OPERATIVE ELEVATOR ASSN HASTINGS, MICHIGAN ATTENDANCE DRIVE.

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, llie 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.

I cannot imagine a more interesting contrast than these two books present.' Both arc novels of unusual distinction and have had a wide acceptance among the public. FEDERAL JOBS OPEN.

When one stops to think that these two Purposes and Aims are worked out to success­ ful operation in our own local Building and Loan Association they create a feeling of pride that inspires one to support such an institution. Tf.’ .. , Lnnuiql hve.uwil New finds of gas have recently been made in the Mt. Pleasant area. Wheth­ er the stores of gas they indicate are large enough for commercial develop­ ment and utilization remain to be demonstrated by further drilling. These Hnd4 have been made in territory dis­ tinctly apart from the proved oil field. Tiie territory lies west and north of ML Pleasant, whereas the oil field is six miles east of Mt. Pleasant. The first gas well was brought in last October on the McKay ranch in Grant township. Clare county, about twenty-one miles northwest >of, Mt. Pleasant and six miles northwest of Clare. This is known as the James A. McKay and J. A. Mercier No. 1 McKay well. It struck dry was at a depth of 1,408 feet in the top 0( the Marshall sands. The well was gauged at 3,­ 500,000 cubic feet per day. The well wm capped but gM from it is being used for domestic purposes on the McKay ranch. An offset well. No. 2 McKay, was drilled not far from the first well and this struck dry gM in the Marshall sands late in February. The flow was gauged at about 500,000 cubic feet per day, but the wqli went almost Immedi­ ately into salt water. Dry rm in considerable quantities wm struck on February 8 in a wildcat well being drilled by the Isabella Oil Development Company in Broomfield township, Isabella county, about four­ teen miles west of ML Pleasant and some twenty miles west of the Mt. Pleasant-Midland oil field. The well is known as No. 1 M. D. Keeler-Mltchell. NW NM 012-16N-6W, Broomfield township, Isabella county. Dry gas was first struck in thc top of the Mar­ shall sands at. 1324 feet The initial flow was gauged at 7,500.000 cubic feet per day. Drilling was continued eight feet farther to 1332 feel, and on February 11, an estimated flow of 10.000,000 cubic feet was struck. The well was capped. McKay well and the KeelerIl well are about twenty miles anart. A third showing of gas in this terri­ tory wm made on February 25 In Sec­ tion 31, Vernon township. Isabella county, about ten miles northwest of ML Pleasant and two miles north and three miles west of Rosebush. The well, known m McManaman No. 1 of the Uhl - Survey - Raymer Company, struck gas at the top of the Marshall sands. Water filled the well to the depth of 1.200 feet and was blown out by the force of the'gas. The well con­ tinued to spout water far over the top of the derrick at ten minute Intervals. The water drowned out the gas, and drilling has been continued in the well. & EAJTEK FLOWER/ Most Delightful Display of Easter Lilies Ever Shown in Hastings Let Easter Lilies Express Your Easter Greetings We Have Provided An Especially Fine Stock of Strong, Hardy Easter Lilies for This Occasion POTTED ll AMf The finding of oil and natural gas; at widely separated points in the Mt. I for Your Consideration / Pleasant area Indicates the possibility । of more extensive underground re-1' sources than were found at Muskegon.; The Muskegon proved field is con-‘' fined to two adjoining townships. Mus- < ■ kegon and Laketon. It is about four;, miles long and varies tn width from! half a mile to a mile. Both the oil ' and gas finds were made in this small territory. The proved oil field at Mt. Pleasant’ is already larger In area than the Mus-: kegon field and Its limits have not yet! been determined by dry wells. More-1 ovex wildcat wells outside the proved' field struck oil. The gas wells in the! Mt. Pleasant area are miles apart from the proved oil field. The amounts of natural gM that had ■ been found up to April 1 were not large enough to warrant commercial development through the construction of pipe lines to Mt. Pleasant and Clare, . the nearest available markets. Making natural gas available to con­ sumers on a commercial basis Involves several essential considerations. Pint, the supply must be sufficient to Justify the large expense involved in taking It to market Second, the supply must be so de­ pendable and so lasting that operating companies and consumers alike will be economically wise in investing in the changes and In the equipment neces­ sary to use natural gM instead of manufactured gM. Failure of natural gas. after It is once installed, would mean a large wastage of money. Third, there must be ample reserves to maintain the supply after the first Taking natural gM to a town before a dependable supply has been developed is liable to cost that town dear, as the experience of various American cities his demonstrated. Michigan gM companies are in close touch with operations In the Mt. Pleas­ ant area. Should further drilling prove the existence of natural gM in eco­ nomic abundance, they doubtless will take step® to make it available to com­ munities within practical reaching dis­ tance. The promptness with which the new gas wells have been capped indicates the probability of a wiser and more business-like handling ot the natural gM situation in the Mt.

Just plain ig­ norance 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 insects that do the great damage to fruit during the blooming period are the “eating” insects, and scientists tell us—and experience has proven—that 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 lilossoms will be destroyed by destructive little insects and the fruit crop lost or badly damaged unless these insects are killed.

For Oldsmobile and Viking owners are quick to express their satisfaction . . . always ready and eager to rec­ ommend Oldsmobile and Viking to their friends and neighbors. Assuredly it takes more than mere close acquaintance with a motor car to build such loyalty. And both Oldsmobile and Viking have that “something more" in a measure above the ordinary. Brilliant performance — st high speeds or hard pulling — in every phase of motoring. Restful riding comfort and ease ofcontrol over every type ofroad. Continued economy that becomes more apparent as time goes on. Thoroughgoing dependability over the months and the miles. These are the things that create friendship for Oldsmobile and Viking. These, plus the vitally important factor of honest value. If you wish to learn more about the qualities of either of these two fine cars, inquire among your friends who drive them. Then'come and see Olds­ mobile and Viking yourself. Drive them and know what they can do. Prove to your personal satisfaction that each is a great car—a real value—at its price.

And it lasts longer, because of fine materials, oversize parts and a big, smooth, 50-horsepower six-cylinder engine that always “takes it easy.” With all its six-cylinder smoothness and power the New Chevrolet Six saves 'gasoline and oil, through modern efficiency—overhead valves —high compression power—latest carburetor—long-wearing pistons— crankcase ventilation—air 'cleaner. Thus Chevrolet brings truly modem transportation within reach of ali who can afford any car. Chevrolet economy also means sincerity in manufacture. To illustrate: by hydraulic shock absorbed. They are mounted lengthwise, in thedlreftion of car travel, with self-adjusting spring shackles to maintain quiet. Modem low suspension and extra wheelbase give the Chevrolet Six good proportions. The front view is distinguished by the honeycomb radiator. The gasoline tank is at the rear for safety and finer appearance. Chevrolet beauty Instantly says “Body by Fisher’ ’—style, quiet, safety —Fisher composite steel-and-wood construction—non-glare windshield —adjustable driver’s seat—deeper cushions—greater leg room—clearer vision—finer fabrics and fitments. There is just as much extra value throughout. BY ANY STANDARD the Chevrolet Six is the wisest choice in the low-price field ... with Its sixcylinder valve-in-head motor . . . with full scientific equipment . . . with Body by Fisher . . . with four long semi-elliptic springs, long wbeelb«fe> Iow suspension,- rear­ mounted gasoline tank, honeycomb radiator and all the other features of this day and age. Chevrolet valves are adjustable—to save replacing. Chevrolet molded brake lininggreatly reduces brake up­ keep. The rear axle inspection plate on the Chevrolet means accessibility.

Building Bean Ita Tower 025 Feet Into the Air Where will constructors stop In their teeming race to attain the greatest heights In putting up Immense office buildings» Really the "sky seems to be the limit," This' contest started only a little over 40 years ago tn the city of New York, when the Tower Building was built. This was the first aky scraper with a steel skeleton frame, and towered up­ ward to the dizzy height of 11 stories. It was the laughing stock of the dty, and IM safety was so sincerely doubted that, for a while, people used to walk around the block, fearing that the building would fall down on them. The architect,1 however, had a different no­ tion. and was so confident of hi* work that he rented offices on the top floor, and continued there for the next 20 years. Inasmuch as the "Tower Building” didn't fall down, and really proved a good Investment, about 20 years later the famous “Flatiron Building." so called because of the peculiar shape of the lot on which it was built, was erect­ ed. This building rose to the unprece­ dented height of 280 feet, and was 20 stories high. The Binger Building. 012 feet to the top of Its flagpole, built in 1907. was followed by the Metropolitan Building a year later. 057 feet high. Four years later the famous Wool- I worth Building, with IU M stories oftenable space, was built, and IM ob- । servatory floor 727 feet above the City Hall Park. The Woolworth Building was sup­ posed to be about the. limit to which building would go, but to-day it is topped by the Chrysler Building. 783 feet high, and the new Manhattan Company Building, rearing its tower 925 feet into the air. IU lofty obser­ vation tower Is 845 feet above the street level, and to-day It Is the tallest building In America. The Manhattan Building stands as a monument of accuracy and precision. While construction work was going on even the . heat of the sun, and IM effect upon the thousands of steel girders was computed, lest It throw this huge 'structure even the least bit out of per­ pendicular. Due allowance was also made for windstorms of 100 mllos per hour velocity, which would beat against the tower. 925 feet up In the air. How long the Manhattan Building wlll stand supreme as to height la a question. but probably not for very long, u it 15 reported lhat New Yorkers are already planning for a building 130 stories high, which will reach a height of over 1 JOO feet—or nearly a quarter of a mile.

Enrollments in the contest will be accepted by the animal husbandry de­ partment of Michigan State College or by county agricultural agents until May 31. ^Entrants in the contest must have flocks of 20 or more ewes. Breeders from 42 counties have al­ ready entered tlie contest. The size of their flocks range from 20 to 280 ewes. The breeds represented are Shropshire, Oxford. Hampshire, De­ laine, Rambouillet, Lincoln. Black Top Deliane, Cheviot. Dorset, and Karakul. No special methods of handling the contest flocks are required except that the necessary practices for producing first quality market lambs must be em­ ployed. Docking is one of these re­ quirements. In addition to Michigan State Col­ lege. the Michigan Parmer, the Michi­ gan Purebred Sheep Breeders' Associa­ tion. and several Detroit livestock com­ mission firms are promoting the con­ test. which is intended to improve the quality of lambs marketed by Michigan owners. Ask Yourself These' Questioi 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 of a large number of people. The AIM of this Bank is to be helpful—to render genuine SERVICE. That's a PART of OUR BUSINESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us inquire if you have ever ASKED 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 that we can.

HALL Michigan �ns ■mrcni wdockb, wbbnudat, mu u, mn for Economical Transportation CHEVROLET/j It’s wise to choose a SIX/ There Is one sure way to get greater value in a low-priced car today— choose a Six! ™* greater value la liutantly obvious when you drive a Chevrolet Six. You notice first of all its greater smoothness. There is no tremor in the steering wheel—no rattle in the floor boards—no rumble or drumming in the body. In addition to the finer perform­ ance of its six-cylinder motor, the new Chevrolet gives you truly remarkable economy. Its six-cylinder smoothness saves the entire car from the strain and wear of vibration. Tills, of course, lowers the cost of maintenance ana assures a longer-lasting, longersatisfying automobile. From the standpoint of operating expense, Chevrolet is equally eco­ nomical. No other automobile con­ sumes less gasolineand oil. Noother shows a lower expense for tires. And no other car costs less for service. Because of its modem engineering, Chevrolet also assures a high re­ sale value. Chevrolet gives you fully-enclosed, weather-proof, 4-wheel brakes; a modern fuel system—with the gasoline tank mounted in the rear; four long semi-elliptic springs, mounted lengthwise in the direc­ tion of car travel. It gives you beautiful Fisher bodies built of combination hardwood-and-steel. It gives you a heavy, rigidly-braced channel-steel frame. And it gives you a full ball bearing steering mechanism. Before you decide on any car in the low-price field, see and drive the Chevrolet Six. The more thor­ oughly you Investigate, the more certain you are to conclude that it’s wise to choose a Six—for value, for performance . . . and for eco­ nomical transportation!

Smashing Proof ...of greatest value As established in Continent-wide tests, by 5,000 New Essex Challengers All motordom saw the amazing results of Challenger Week. The New Essex Challenger set outstanding marks in every locality. It climbed hills seldom attempted by any car. It set new marks for acceleration. It established economy results never before associated with such performance. It made inter-city reliability and endurance runs that take place with the industry’s great marks. These feats were established — not by just a few hand-picked specially tuned cars —but 5,000 Essex Challengers in all parts of the country, many of them owner-driven. The results speak for what any and every New Essex Challenger can do. Wc continue our invitation to . ° Ride—Ride—Ride! Know frojn personal experience what this brilliant New Essex Challenger can do.

Announcement of it was delayed 6 months to give it the most thorough tests possible in actual use. We can now definitely make the following statements: 1, New Iso-Vis means less wear on every movingpartoj the automobile engine. 9. It does not "thin out” with use. 3* It gives effective lubrication over a wider range oj temperatures—both high and low. 4. It means a radical reduction oj car­ bon deposits—jar less than in most premium-priced oils. With New Iso-Vis you get a type of lubrication* that has not been possible before, regard! ess the kind of oil you have used. Hundreds of of practically every make and model, were used in road tens under th* toughest condi­ tions possible, to prove the superior value of New Iso-Vis'as a motor lubricant. These rigid test* were suc­ cessful even beyond our expectations. The 4 point* at the right give the detail*. This improved New Iso-Vis Motor Oil is now on sale at all Standard Oil dealer* and service stations. Save THE EXPENSE and bother of carbon removal. Again, thorough lest* and experiment have proved that New lao-Vii has leu tendency to ward car bon residue than other oils.

Addison M. Herrington was bom In Carroll county. Ohio, the 31st day .. Marsh. 1858, the youngest of three children of John and Mary . Herrington. During his early boyhood his parents emigrated down the Ohio river to Ladoga. Indiana, and a little later moved on to Richland,Center. Wisconson. From Wisconsin they - moved to Sturgis. Michigan, then on to Lakeview, where the mother died in Addison's early 'teens. From Lakeview they came to Freeport where John, the father, es­ tablished a drug store and dental office. At that time the viUage was a mere four-comers, surrounded by woods and a few scattered patches of cleared land. It waa in Freeport, dur­ ing his early youth, that he married Julia Almyra Newton, who departed this life last October. To this union were bom seven children. In his early twenties, he went to the State of Kan­ sas, alone, and proved up and obtained title to 160 acres of land. To listen to him tell of his experiences and the birth of his second child.

From Kansas, he returned to Freeport uuamcn Michigan, cnicicu entered uic the aiug drug business with his father and has ever since resided here. He was well known throughout the country for his fine, artistic work in taxidermy, which he worked in along with his drug business. During his public career, he travelled from Michi­ gan to Iowa as a drug salesman, was postmaster of Freeport, and at one time a very active member of the Congre­ gational church. He served for two years as chairman of the By-Laws Committee of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the State of Michigan, and was a recognized power in counfy and state politics. He served as state factory inspector under Govenior Bl Lis . Recently, he has attended the United Brethren church, butduring his entire Hfe his motto has been "The Golden Rule'-a ways striving to treat his fellowmen Justly.-uslng his own counsel and acting according to the dictates of his own conscience, and lastly, professing genuine, sincere religion previous to his death. ••Add" as he was better known, was a straight-forward, out-spoken person, which characteristic made him hosts of friends and a few enemies, but admired by all, as he never knowlingly wronged his fellowmen. and always fought for what he believed to be right. He de­ parted this life Monday, April 7 at six days, the end coming very suddenly during a severe heart attack, while on a visit to his daughter Eunice's home In Kalamazoo. He was a thoughtful, loving father, sacrificing and devoting his entire life to his family. He leaves, cherishing his memory and mourning his loss, two sons. Fem and Norris; three daugh­ ters. Edith. Esther and Eunice, also one grandson, six granddaughters and a host of relatives and friends. OBITUARY.

The State Department of Labor has issued Its report for the month of March. It makes a heartening show­ ing. Unemployment has decreased steadily in Michigan since thn first of the year. The average wage per employee has increased. The report seems to be quite optimistic. What will be of special interest to the people of Michigan Is the fact that the automo­ bile Industry seems to be hitting a bet­ ter stride, having more than doubled the number of men drawing wages since the first of .the year. .

TESTED Z^ONOCO Gasoline is actually tested dozens of times in the process of n£nin&— but it is called Triple Tested Gasoline because of all of these tests converged into three main tests—for suiting—acceleration—power! These arc thc things that motorists want—and arc entitled to get—from thc gasoline they use. A gasoline may be ever so powerful—bur if is noc rnhriU enough to sun the motor quickly and give rapid acceleration in traffic—ft will not satisfy today's demands. An easy starring, swift acceleration, are mere snares if they are noc backed up with /tourr for every need—economical power!

Here’s a new tire by Goodyear for the heavy car, the fast driver, the tough and rocky road—for any service that’s arduous in the extreme! | It steps apart from other Heavy Duty balloons not only by its greater strength and improved con­ struction, but also by its strikingly handsome appearance. | It’s a big, stout, massively proportioned tire, armored with an extra-thick and extra-safe All-Weather Tread, and around its sleek black side-wall runs a single identifying stripe of silver.

(Continued from page one) volved a considerable expense, not alone for labor but also for the depre­ ciation of trucks and blades. There ought to be a way. and we believe there is, of cutting to the very minimum the expense of maintenance. Other counties are up against the same proposilion. Some of them believe they have found a way to reduce that expense to the lowest limit. Over in Van Buren county they reached the point where they felt they could not afford to in­ crease the mileage of county roads if the cost of maintenance is to be around $500 lo $600 a year per mile. After ex­ perimenting. they finally arrived at the conclusion that liquid asphalt, which they purchased from the Standard Oil Company at eight cent* per gallon, together with limerock crushed to pea gravel size, were the materials that woukl accomplish the results they were after They first clean and get down to a hard base the original gravel road. Then they pour over it a coating of liquid asphaltum and immediately mix with it the crushed limerock. Then it Is rolled down and another coating in the same manner follows until they have five coats, making a thickness of surfacing material about one and onehalf to two Inches thick and about 16 or 18 feet wide. This is the third year they have tried it. It seems to stand the winters remarkably well. It cost* al­ most nothing for maintenance—just a little patching now and then where a heavy truck may break through. Buch a rood will not stand the big trucks, such as the A. & P. and Kroger send over the roads, but for all ordinary trucking loads, and for ordinary traffic, they are strong enough and will stand up well. The cost In Van Buren counly has been found to be $2,000 per mile for building this kind of a road- That is Just about what three years of mainte­ nance for a gravel road will cost on the average. The Van Buren rood com­ mission believes that tills kind of a road ought to last for ten years, and that It can be renewed by putting on a couple more coats at an expense of not over $1,000 per mile; and that should be good.for ten year* more. We would say that some method of surfacing a definite mileage per year of the present gravel surfaced mileage of county roads ought to be undertaken, to reduce to the minimum the mainte­ nance expense. Van Buren county put down three miles the first year, six miles the next year and are planning lo put down 17 or 18 miles this year of this kind of woadway and to keep on surfacing until the entire county mlle- Gay little prints fashion these amart little crea­ tions.

If the county will work out a plan of so much county road every year, dis­ tribute the work fairly in the different townships, and include, as we have sug­ gested elsewhere, the development of a road system to the resort lakes, in co­ operation with the townships; then the coating of the present graveled roads in some such manner as is now used in Van Buren county, a small mileage eaeh year, it would be possible to definitely fix the amount to be ex­ pended every year for good roads; and we believe this can be done without is­ suing bonds, which will save a lot of interest.

Harrison got in touch with the ;board that they wish to cut down county road bonds and keep down is­ suing niorc bonds for county roads. .But tn this case a board of supervisors had last year authorized the building of this road on a route that would have cost more than the last petition required. It would seem only fair to have accepted the petition arid built the road. Or if the board did not wish to build it now, it would seem that, in fairness the board would at least au­ thorize the road and delay building it for a time, until the outstanding coun­ ty road bonds were paid down, to a smaller figure. To turn down this pe­ tition. after it had been prepared and carried out in the manner suggested by the county road commission, and especially after the supervisors had previously voted in favor of the con­ struction of the road, hardly seems warranted.

WATERS & rcNi HASTINGS MICHIGAN “The Better Store for Men BANNER WANT ADVS BRING RESULTS original cost of the' building for the twenty years win see that the then small town of Hastings actually paid for that building fully 8100.000. The foundation work was started as early as could be in 1872 and the build­ ing was completed so that school begon in the fall of 1873. The first tuplerintendent of schools after the 'new building was erected was Professor Samuel Dickie, later widely known for his temperance and prohibition work in the country, and for 23 years as presi­ dent of Albion College. Hastings schools were first made completely graded schools under the supsrinlendency of Dr. Dickie. Beginning at that time a diploma from the Hastings High school would admit the graduate to the University of Michigan or to any col­ lege in this state. Dr. Dickie's High school staff consisted of two assistants and himself. Hetaught for every rec­ itation hour of every day exoept one. when he visited the grade rooms in the same building. There were eight grades below the High school. all housed in the old red brick building. Later the two ward schools were added, and still later the white brick plant was put on the central grounds to take care of the overcrowded condition of the grades. The old High school building became far too small for the numb?- of stu­ dents. and the building began io show signs of not standing the strain. It was virtually condemned by state authori­ ties as not being adequate to the needs of this city. But it took a long time to get the new High school plant, which relieved the congestion. The old High school rooms were on the third floor of the red brick building but have never Ixcn occupied for school purposes since the High school plant was constructed. We are sure that al) who are Interest­ ed in the old school building as stu­ dents will be glad the school board has arranged to salvage the old bell, which will be placed in the tower of the new building. While there will be some expressions of regret because the old red brick building is to vanish, we are sure no one will have any other than feelings of joy that we are to have an up-todate. fine school plant, one that will be adequate to the needs of this city for the years to come, In its place. The writer visited the old building Monday lust as the work of ripping out the in­ terior had begun. An examination of the third story of the old structure will give an idea of how unsafe that build­ ing had becom?. It was time the .Junior high and the normal were moved out of that old Are trap for their lives were not only endangered by the possibility of Are but also by the pos­ sibility that the old tower might be blown down onto the building with dis­ astrous results. So while there Is a little sentiment of regret for the dis­ appearance of the old building, on one will feel other than glad that it Is lo be replaced by a modem flre-proof school building.

Those who are in close touch with the situation claim that this depression would never have occurred if farmers and dairymen themselves bought real butter Instead of butter Mibrtitjore It is claimed that in the cities there has been a steady demand for the real product, while in the villages and rural district* a very large percentage of butter substitutes are bought. It is claimed that if the farmers of this country would buy real butter, or make their own. instead of purchasing the cocoanut substitutes the Increased demand would easily restore the price of the butter to a profitable basis. SOW LESS WHEAT. Chairman Legge, of the National Farm Relief Board, has advised that farmers sow a smaller acreage of wheat as well as of octton this year.

PART There Is Just One I SURE Way To Have Money And That Is to SA VE IT by Entrusting IT to the Safe Keeping of Some Responsible Banking Institution So It Can’t “Burn Holes in'Your Pockets” It’s always well to have something laid up for a "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 yill be free from every ele­ ment of chance; or speculation, and it will be available fop 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 nib terror. Why not start saving NOW? WHY NOT TODAY! Hastings National Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County MILO.

HARDWARE COMPANY 111 E. State St. Hastings, Michigan MIDDLEVILLE. J. J. Vander Kolk has been very busy the past week, getting the basement; dug for the addition to his garage. The I bridge crew have been taking out the dirt for him, using it for filling at the ends of the new bridge—very fine for both of them. Did you notice tha beautiful flower* in A. M. Gardner's and J J- Vander Veen’s windows last week’ They were from the Car) Oalster greenhouse. An Aetna Insurance Co.’s adjuster was here the past week and settled the , loss of Dr. B. C.

John and Mrs. Goorhouse have pur­ chased through G. D. Whitmore the house and' lot north of the school ’ house, occupied for some years by Mr., and Mrs Glenn Kermeen and former­ ly belonging to the late Mary Cronk. The Middleville hotel was a busy! place Sunday, when nearly 150 people ’ greatly enjoyed a splendid dinner i served them by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Esterman. Besides those from around home there were people from Kalama­ zoo. Battle Creek. Grand Rapids. Has­ tings. Lansing. Wayland. Detroit, Lake Odessa. Caledonia, Plainwell and Ev­ anston. Ill. It may be that we have omitted some towns but these were the ones noticed in looking over the regis­ ter. The meal was a fine one and the service A No. 1. as the Estermans know so well how to do. The day was not the best for bringing out the people, but they are well satisfied with the num­ ber they served and no doubt the Sun­ day dinners will be well patronized by many of those who enjoyed their East­ er dinner with them. This Monday evening occurs the reg­ ular monthly meeting of the Middle­ ville Boosters Clufi at the hotel. There are several matters that will be brought up at this meeting pertaining to the welfare of Middleville and vicinity. Our new Twp. road commissioner Is very busy in the western part of the township on the road. George Vlers and daughter of Lan­ sing were week end guests here. They moved the household goods of the Vlers to Lansing, where Mr. Viers has been working for some time and have rented the house to Claud Kermeen, who will at once take possession of same with his family. Mrs. Lucille Stridden and son were the week end guests of her parents. G. D. and Mra. Whitmore. The last number of the Middleville Brotherhood for the season will be April 28th. at which time we will have Mr. Shaw of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce as our speaker. Subject. Taxation, a subject that should appeal to all of us and we understand that our speaker Is well qualified to speak on the subject. Our high school will fur­ nish the music and we know that means some good music. So it looks like a profitable and pleasant evening mapped out for us. Be sure and be on hand. Our golf grounds are being given careful attention and the “bugs" are arranging for a busy season. Better gel in and enjoy the sport—it is health­ ful and a good way to reduce without going without those dishes you love so well. SOUTH VERMONTVILLE.

It Is a beautiful sight from the sea to see the white city of Algiers sandwiched In between the blue of the mountain and the blue of the ocean. One sees so many nationalities here, but as classes can be sharply divided Into French Algiers and Arab Algiers. Of course the French part is beautiful and the Arab none too clean nor fra­ grant with windowless homes, narrow streets, booths facing the streets along their entire fronts. Children working in rug factories for three dollars a week and happy because the work is harder at home. Inside of a rather poor mosque we saw women praying for babies. Two years without one can cause divorce. We saw a cemetery for the rich. God help the poor! At Palermo, Sicily, it nfflied and I didn’t go over till noon. I saw a won­ derful old cathedral.

They had marvellous roads with walls along the outside about two and j one half feet high. Naples has a beautiful bay and here we went to Museum Nattonale. Here j are woeful ignorance, superstition and 1 illiteracy and great devotion to religion, there being a saint for every phase and 'emergency. The view of Naples from Sant* Elmo Is magnificent.

Doge's Palace. Bridge of ' Sighs, Rialto Bridge and hears again the history of four bronze horses, such great travelers. Here also we went to see hand-mode lace and glass factories. From Venice we were on our way to Dubrovnik in Jugo Slavia. , The old name was Ragusa. We found a quaint j little town built on the seashore and j slope of the mountain. Stone stalrl ways connect with streets farther up. ■ Here we saw the true peasant type. ■ Women with huge loads on their heads. . men in full trousers with gay em■ broldered coats, gay old buccaneers. In the afternoon the boat went very slowly up the Bay of Kotor. The rugged shores they liken to the fjords of Nor­ way. Stupendous beauty in . the Bay of Kotor. At Corfu. Greece, one rather wonders why it is contested for. However it is considered a great port. Here is the Ex-Kaiser's spring palace where he usually spent about a month, now kept up by the town as a show place. There is great poverty Ur the rural parts. Saw many children dressed for a cari nival. The women have a peculiar hair 1 dress that results in braids standing up i on each side of the head like horns and ‘ a small shawl draped over them. We : had a beautiful drive by the sea on the . way back to the boat. I At Athens our stay was all too short. I Of course our first’ objective was the I Acropolis which means "the end of the | city." On the northwest projection of i the Hill of the Muses are caves in one of which Socrates is supposed to have drunk the hemlock. The Parthenon is the moat beautiful of yellow marble. The beautiful Erectheum with its portico of maidens, the Caryatides. Saw Mars Hili where Paul preached. The water tower which ran a clock. Athens seems peculiarly devoid of tsees and shrubbery. They also have a wonderful stadium that seats 80.000, given by an Athens resi­ dent. On our way to Constantinople, rose early to see the sights while passing through the Dardanelles (Hellespont). Saw porpoises for the first time. Mus­ tafa Kemal Pasha, the first president of Turkey, has made many changes. While he himself is notably dissolute he found so much intrigue at Constantlnople that the capital is now located at Angora, which has been made a; beautiful city. They have changed their alphabet to 28 characters. Roman, and all publica­ tion in old characters is forbidden. We saw the Santa Sophia Mosque, the Mosque of Ahmed, the first often called the China Mosque of Blue Mqoque with six mnnareta. The minarets have a circular platform from which the, mcuzxin call the faithful to prayer. We happened to hear this call, which translated is : "God is Great 1’’ Repeat four tlmis. “I bear witness there is no God but God." Repeat twice. "Come to prayers. Come to prayers. Come to Sal­ vation. Come to Salvation. God is great There is no other God but God.” In the early morning they add. "Prayers are better than sleep." As we happened to be there on Friday, their Bunday, we went to services.

Jewelled firearms, cutlasses, daggers, clocks, and even Jewelled dishes. The jext day we look a car . and drove to Scutari, which is really in Aslo Minor. No beauty in the homes or rather, architecture. Saw the Jew­ ish cemetery, each grave being a small sarcophagus on top of the ground. The Turkish cemetery had their tombstones very close together amid a small grove of cypress trees. The English cemetery was beautifully kept and we saw the Turkish Medical School and hospital which occupied quite a tract of land and were very creditable. In the af­ ternoon we had tea at the Robert’s college and stopped at the American Women’s College. The foreign bazaar was pande­ monium. The men stand out in front and urge yo uto come in. but everything seemed high and I didn't buy a thing there. Al Beirut. Syria, we had a won­ derful drive over the Lebanon moun­ tains in the morning, coming back tb lunch on the boat. In the afternoon we went over shopping. We have been to Jerusalem and from there to Bethlehem, Gethsemane, Mount of Olives, Bethany. River Jor­ dan. Jericho and Dead Sea. Of course we saw the Walling Wall, and the peo­ ple actually shaking with grief, crying for the testoration of the glories of the Jews. The Mosque of Omar is wonderful, supposed to be second only to Taj Mahal in beauty. There is so much tradition flere. so lived up to as sacred truth that It leaves one in a tumult of confusion. Here one sees the Bedouin and Is greatly disillusioned. Their heads al­ ways wrapped up. their feet bare and looking like sole leather, they are not pleasing to the eye.

M-37 would use the new trunk line from tho county line Intersection north bf Mid­ dleville on Orand Rapids street through and for nearly a mile beyond Caledonia, where M-37 would turn would turn northward to Grand Rap­ ids. The approval of the State Adminis­ trative board makes these changes definite. There was no action by the Administrative Board meeting looking to an immediate construction of the new trunk line from two miles north of Woodland westward, nor for the con­ struction of the trunk line from Wood­ bury south to Nashville on the county line. Building those trunk lines will be a matter for future consideration. We understand, however, that the State Highway Department will this year complete a survey and working plans for the paving of M-37 from Middle­ ville north on Grand Rapids street to the county line. We understand also that it has been agreed by the Kent county road commission to extend the Whtlneyville paving two miles south to Barry-Kent county line, also to build about a mile of that paving on tha north end where it connects with M-16. It is our understanding that M-37 north from Middleville will be paved and that Kent county commission will l>ave the three miles bn the Whltneyville road next year, which will then give Middleville a paved road to Grand Rapids for temporary use until the lensing-Holland trunk line shall *be — paved.

Is anything co ncrvc-wracking as a nervous hostess? *• Feeds!** Eggs are down, and it is a hard matter to make a fair profit raising poultry. The principal item in the expense of raising poultry is the cost of feed, and another heavy item is that some­ times there is a very serious loss when the chicks are small. The Michigan Farm Bureau has developed a feed that covers these points very nicely. Their NEW MER-AL-MASH STARTER retails for less than three dollars -a hundred, grows fine, large, healthy chickens, with bright eyes and robust yellow legs, pushes them along rapidly, and the mortality is remarkably light. The price is less than oatmeal, and it is a fully bal­ anced ration. Come in and learn about it. HUSTINGS CO OPERATIVE E1EVATOR ASSN. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN of the people of the village end coun­ ty. Following, the Civil war a national bank was organized. which took ov«r the Goodyear (jrivate bank. The Haslinga City Bank was organized 44 yean MO. fn the seventies and eighties Hea­ ting* was at the mercy of Ils one transportation line and freight rales were terrific. Like every other smaller town It was discriminated against by the railroads in favor ot tha larger cities. This led the citiaens to seek re­ lief by aiding the construction of the C. K. & B. Considerable soma of money were donated to bring that rail­ road 'to Hastings and to extend it on through Woodland. Little did the business men and citizens realize that whal they hkd done, with so much sacrifice. lo gel a new railroad outlet for Hastings was going to harm their busineas but it did. The Interstate Commerce Commission was organised soon after that, and put an end to freight rate discrimination. Before the C. K. A: 8. was built, much ot the trade of the township of Hope for in­ stance. And the other townships tn the southwestern part of the county, came to this city. Thia was their market town. When the railroad was constructed that trade was cut off by the building of little towns along the C. K. k 8. It was then that HasUnga people realized that their prosperity demanded factories, for the town had suffered a serious loss ot trade and business by the building of the new line. They set about the work of get­ ting factories. As a result Hastings has some industries of which any dty could well be proud. They are the stabilizing influence here, have been prospered and have helped the city. There have been great changes in politics, as In other phases of life, in this city and county. The bitterness of partisan strife has practically ceased The peqple are no longer guided solely by their party preferences as most al them used to be in voting for candi­ dates for local, county and even state offleea. They aim now to select those whom they believe will best do thp work without regard to party. That does not apply to congressman. United States senators and Presidents. The old partisan bitterness is gone. Men do no*, argue about politics as they used to. They read, think and decide for them­ selves. Ti>e old days had some advantages People did take time to think. They did act from conviction. They were not so hurried, or worried as people are. gen­ erally speaking, now-a-days. They had far fewer comforts and conveniences nnd no luxuries; but who will say they were not Just as happy? Or poialbly more happy In their struggles? There was real neighborliness, more real in­ terest In folks as folks. But none of us would want to give up what we have and live as people did in the days when the Banner was boro. THREE NASHVILLE BOYS TAKEN ON SERIOUS CHARGE Confess Raiding "Sweet Shop" There, Carrying Off $50 Worth of Candy and Cigarettes Some time during the night I ot March 28. someone broke Into what- Is known as the "Sweet Shop" at NashMlle, owned by Mrs. Mayme Chase. The thieves took about 850 worth ot candy and cigarettes. Deputy Sheriff Gall Lykins had hU suspicions as to some persons whom he thought had probably done this Job. Accordingly he patiently waited for developments, believing that some of the stolen stuff would show up later. It did; and Officer Lykins satisfied himself as to at least two of the per­ petrators of the robbery. He called Un­ der-Sheriff Green to help him last week, with the result that they arrested Earl Kinne, who had previously been arrested for similar offenses, also Paul Foster who had also done time, and Haley Penfold, who had .never been implicated In any crime before. The boys were brought to Jail here and la­ ter confessed that they entered the premises occupied by the Sweet Shop about one o'clock on the morning of March 27, going through a cellar win­ dow and by that «means opening the back door, out of which they took the plunder. They carried the stuff over to the old Marshall elevaUfr and buried it, leaving it there for about two weeks. Then the three met and divided their loot. ’ They were charged with burglary nnd entering in the night time, and were arraigned before Justice* Cortrlght on Friday. The three waived examin­ ation and were bound over to the cir­ cuit court, Foster in the sum of 85,000 and Kinne and Penfold 82,000 each. At. this writing all three are tn Jail.

The envlble reputation of postal employees for patient persist­ ence In deciphering addresses on mail has undoubtedly led some persons to use these freak addresses on letters Just to see If they will reach the per­ sons for whom Intended. The Post­ office department ------ * — •-------------- at, Washington ’ . does not‘propose to stand for this imposttion. The has sent out In­ — department --------— structions to all postal employees stat­ ing that letters bearing cryptic addres­ ses are to be held, as not definitely and sufficiently addressed as required by the postal laws and regulations. Conse­ quently they will not be accepted for mailing. The department says that such letters should be returned to the sender. If known, for proper address. If the sender Is not known the letters will be treated as prescribed for dead let­ ters.

She chanced to love him but that only made It worse when, after yean of grinding poverty, tragedy befell them in the form of a most lovely neighbor. Cassy is a warm-hearted, appealing girl and ho story is as interesting as anything Mr$. Norris has written. •The Million Pound Deposit," by E. Phillips Oppenheim, U the lively story of a young lord who pits hU mental agility against five unscrupulous men who have stolen a secret formula. gains another and this adds much ro­ mance and humor to a plot vividly developed by a master of mystery novels. "The Office Wife," by Faith Baldwin, begins by placing before the reader the timely question of women in business: Whether a woman works for love of her Job or for the love or appreciation of the man who happens to be her employer. The business girl will loudly scoff at the latter possibility but there remain certain inalienable and elemental human traits which no amount of derision can annihilate. It must be admitted the book does not settle the question but perhaps no mere book could be expected to do that and in Its presentation of beautiful, high-spirited young Anne, secretary to a blonde giant of the highest possible morals and position, whose interests have grown away from those of his lovely wife, we have at least some com­ pelling Ideas on the subject along with a well-written, fascinating story. "Streets of Shadow," by Leslie Mc­ Farlane, is outstanding among the April mystery novels as winner of the Dutton Mystery Prize. Its scenes are laid In the alleys of Montreal's under­ world and these are like tunnels con­ necting the crimes and criminals of two worlds, the old and the new.

STOMACH SUFFERERS TRY THIS SIMPLE NO RISK-TEST ■('SK? LIBRARY NEWS “Drive-In Service' Hastings Among our new travel books is "Egypt in Silhouette" by Trowbridge Hall, that unconventional and dis­ criminating traveller whose well-re­ corded observations really .arouse one's wander-lust. In this book he tells of undent Cairo, dty of the dreams of poets; of the now emancipated Egyp­ tian women; of El Azar, the Fountain of Wisdom; of the dash of religions, old and new; and finally he dosed with several translations ot present-day Egyptian literature and poetry—this because he believea 8 people can best be Judged by Its literature. These are first translations and add a noteworthy feature to an already notable book. “The Missionary," by Edison Mar­ shall, is the story of Angus Mackenzie a young Scotch preacher Who goes in­ to the Arctic wastes to make recom­ pense for a sin of his dead father's. He is somewhat diverted from this spirit^ ua) quest by love for a trader's daughter. She Is, unfortunately, also sought by a maddened half-breed. The story rises to a magnificent climax af­ ter Angus and Gretchen have fled over the dohgerous Ice and are marooned with their pursuer. Any person who has lived one hun­ dred years has stored up much valuable experience but when it chances to have been an American woman of the grand oki pioneer type and the century hap­ pens to be that one embracing most ot our national history, from 1827 to 1927. a book on the subject is bound to be unusual. "Grandmother Brown's One Hundred Years" was most enthusi­ astically so considered by the eminent Judges of the Atlantic biography con­ test who awarded it a prize of 85,000.00. It is chiefly In dialogue form, her daughter-in-law, Harriet Connor Brown, being the adroit questioner. Grandmother Brown comments pungently on matters of general interest such as the Civil War, the World Fair at Chicago. Roosevelt's activities, the Great War, etc., and through it all is woven the intense personal life of her­ self. her family and community. "It Is an epic of American life in the early and later days,” says Ambas­ sador Charles G. Dawes. Esther H. Coleman.

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 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!

The minute an omelet is hot from the pan, it is puffed up, tender ... at ita best.... And the minute vegetables are fresh from the garden, all their flavor, all their juice are at their high point. The way to have white wax beans while they are tender; and carrota when so crisp they cook creamy before they are creamed . . . the way to have all vegetables st their climax­ time of freshness, is to pick them from a garden of your own. And the way to grow vegetables approaching perfection is to plant Ferry’s purebred Seeds. These seeds are perfected the way breeders perfect cattle.

That is the opinion of owners, new buyers and prospects everywhere. What Men Say: "I bought Essex because it stands out in its field with distinctive value, appearance and perform­ ance." “I want a car to be proud of—and Essex is it. In masterfulget-away, hill-climbing and roadability it surpasses everything. And its appearance and economy are as tineas money can buy." What Women Say: "My car must be as much a matter of pride as my clothes or my home. Essex satisfies that requirement in every way. For me there is ho other choice." "Just as proud of my new Essex as of the $3.000car I also bought. It is easy to drive, and in perform­ ance and comfort equals any car I ever owned." You arc invited to dpve the New Essex Challenger.

However, when the re­ turns as tabulated by the Digest are analyzed they prove that the Digest's poll can in no sense be taken to reflect the senUment of the people of this country with respect to a repeal of the Volstead law and the 18th Amendment. Last week we gave convincing proof from all parts of Uie country that of the 20.000,000 ballots sent out by the Digest, not more Uian 4.000,000 of them had been sent ta women, who are as much entiUed lo vote on a proposition of that kind as are the men. and gen­ erally favor prohibition, while 16300,­ 000 ballots were sent to men. We have the issue of April 19. of the Literary Digest, showing the poll up to the preceding Saturday, with 3,175.­ 972 ballots counted. Here are some figures-taken from Uiat poll as anyime can see to whom a copy of that particu­ lar issue is available. The states of CpnnecUcut, Illinois. New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, which largely make up the metropolitan dis­ trict of the country had. as anyone can learn who will take the trouble to look it up. 30,731.452 Inhabitants in 1920 out of the total of 105.710420 people who then lived in this country. In other words, these six states had 29 per cent of the population of the country ten years ago. With the big ciUes of New York. Chicago, Philadelphia. Pitta­ burgh. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Newark and other suburban cities in New Jersey, and the considerable man­ ufacturing cities of Connecticut and Rhode Island, with probably 75 per cent of the population of those ciUes foreign bom or the children of for­ eign bom. those six states are naturally wet. According to the Digest poU pub­ lished April 19. out of the total of 3.­ 175272 ballots polled at that time. 1­ 346.696 votes, or almost 42’4 per cent of Uie entire vote then polled for the country, was cast by these six states, with but 29 per cent of the population of the country; and practically 50 per cent of Uie entire 1308,816 votes then WARNER STORES HOME OWNED STORES Eatwell Peanut Butter 2 kb; Edgemont Ginger Snaps Bordens Evaporated Milk 3 Cana Pound Wisconsin Cream Cheese Liberty Flour Gold Medal BROOMS v-, Van Camp’s HOMINY Bulk SOAP CHIPS SAUER KRAUT JUICE Refugee or Cut Wax BEANS 35c 21c 28c 29c 89c be exact 653,878 persons are recorded by the Digest from these states as fav­ oring the repeal of prohibition and the Volstead act. out of a total of 1,308,­ 816 votes shown by the Digest poll as favoring repeal.

Whitright of Rutland township had a fine flock of turkeys of various sizes that roosted in the trees in the yard. Mr. Whllrlght noticed that the number was decreasing but could find no footprints that would indicate that prowlers had been helping themselves, and there were no feathers around to Indicate a fight of any kind. One morning. Mr. Whitright was out back of his barn, when he noticed a turkey, weighing about twelve pounds, dead on the ground. He determined to capture the maraud­ er if possible, so set a trap, and the next morning had a large owl. which evidently was the robber of four nice turkeys. The owl had a wing spread of five feet, lacking two indies, and was a fierce looking bird. Doubtless the 12 pound turkey was too heavy for him to carry away. Mr. Whitright quickly dispatched Mr. Owl. The Banner has mentioned previous­ ly the fact that In a 1920 session of the board of supervisors that body, by a good majority, agreed to construct what is known as the Hastings Center road. Such action was recommended by the then County Road Commission. It was approved by the board's own roads i and bridges committee. Definite ap­ proval wus given to the project by the board itself. It was later claimed that the petition upon which the board had originally acted had outlawed.' Accordingly a new petition, calling for the same lo­ cation of the highway, was requested by tiie old road commission and sucii petition was submitted In good faith. | CONSUMERS POWER CO.

As the Banner says elsewhere, we be­ lieve it will be wise for the board of supervisors and its road committee and tile county road commission, to settle upon Yi definite policy for handling the county road program. No doubt they — — I—* — AH, .the V. » State tYIrrl. can get assistance from High-. ’ way Department In their planning and will be Riad to avail themselves of such help. We believe that, if the matter shall be handled as it can be. a large saving can be made each year in in­ terest on county road bonds, and that the cost of maintenance of count? roads can also be considerably reduced.

The decorations were elaborate and well carried out, a gorgeous basket of Easter lilies in purple, pink and white, making an effective background for the speakers’ table.

It also appears that the Nashville State Bank holds a mortgage against the resort property which it has been foreclosing. The sale under lhe mortgage foreclosure proceedings was advertised for Tuesday afternoon of last week. The bank's claim at the time of the sale amounted to 16.800. The mortgage is the prior claim. In order, therefore, to protect their claims Messrs. Glasgow and Cook made a bld for the property of 914.100. that being the amount of their claims plus the amount due on the mortgage fore­ closure. The sale, however, was not concluded on Tuesday, as It was hoped that there might be other blds for the property. Accordingly the sale was ad­ journed to Tuesday of thia week. There Is much speculation as to what persons will acquire this Thornapple lake resort which, because of Its near­ ness and accessibility, has been well patronized by the peoplp of this county. It is claimed that some parties interest­ ed in buying have been dealing directly with Emma Cole, Stella Wade and Paul Cole. In whom the title rested, and who can retain the title for a i>erkxi of six months after the sale if they so desire. Should the property fall into the hands of Messrs. Glasgow and Cook, they have several offers for leasing-the property; but it.is claimed that other outside parties arc anxious to purchase II. Particular interest attaches to the proposition because, it is said, that u group of negroes are considering the purchase of lhe resort, making it into sort of a summer camp with golf grounds, etc., which would be accessible to the negro populations of Lansing.

When the firemen were called it was too iate to save the building: but al that time the wind had changed and blew from the overturned brooder house towards other buildings, so it was feared that it might set them afire. The department did good work in ex­ tinguishing the flames. Thejc was no other damaue than to the broodor house and chickens. COUNTY GETS NICE CHECK.

One member of the roads and bridges committee did not care to Join Die olh$r two in the rec­ ommendation that was made. The two members of the roads and bridges committee proposed that the board authorize the expenditure of not ex­ ceeding *50,000 for lhe seven miles In­ cluded in the Hastings Center road. The matter was thus brought before the supervisors at their April session. They voted it down by a tie vote—ten in favor and ten against. Tlie super­ visors were in a hurry to get through with that session and. from what we can learn, did not give lhe matter the thorough consideration it ought to have had. That was probably the reason why the recommendation of the couniy road commission and two of the three members of the supervisors’ roads and bridges committee was not carried out. Nothing seems clearer to the Banner than that bodies like the board of supervisors the same as Individuals should keep faith and do as they agree.

There seems to be a tendency in the State Conserva­ tion Department in getting laws passed with the idea of '’catching-' hunters and fishers, more than to ''save” the game and fish. The laws are now so fixed that it te absolutely Impossible in some cases, to keep people from violat­ ing some of the so-called Game and Pish laws. For instance in springtime, with artificial lights on creeks, or rivers, it te Impossible al all times, to dteUnguteh the different kinds of fish in running water. That law ought tq.be repealed or amended so as not to pro­ tect some fish and allow others to be taken. . . When It comes to the Gam; laws, the season will open on ducks, and a few days later on rabbite, and a lew days later on partridge, and a few days lat­ er on squirrel and pheasants, and so on. These different dates so close to­ gether seem to be arranged to offer a great temptation to break, or “bend" the law. Why riot liave lhe hunting season open on al] kinds of game on the same date? That would stop to a great extent the violalkv. of the Game laws, and lhe killing of game "out of season." Such heavy penalties should not be imposed on violators of Pteh and Gama laws. Especially te thte true where the victim of the law is not a criminal, and accidentally violated the law—an easy tiling to do in a run­ ning stream of water.

GILLESPIE IS HOME FROM FLORIDA. George Gillespie arrived at the home of his'brother in Castleton Monday, driving through from Auburndale. Florida, covering the distance Ln very quick time. Mr. Gillespie is very enthusiastic about the climate of that state. He is very confident that Florida is about to come into its own again, (speculator* did their best to ruin it with their "booms," and did harm It greatly; but the real merits of Florida are certain to win public favor, and it will always be the favorite winter resort state. Like other people who were there last winter, Mr. Gillespie is thoroughly out o! patience with the work done by ths Federal agents who claimed “to have discovered evidences there of the "hfediterranean fruit fly." This would be serious if it were true; but Mr. Gil­ lespie say the general opinion there is that whatever thc government men may have found, it was not the Mediterran­ ean fruit fly. He thinks there will be a big crop of oranges next year. A good share of the crop was destroyed by the government men this year In their at­ tempts to exterminate the elusive fruit Uy. Mr. Gillespie is Ln charge of a large orchard near Auburpdale. but likes to come back to Michigan to get away from the steady heat of the southern part of that state during the summer months.

On learning that I was from lect his crew of porters and arrange for America he walked up and said "How the supplies, so wc stopped at the Hotel do you are"—by which I judged he Triglav that I described in a former ,spoke English with a fluency on a par letter. Our host was Just as rotund rect. He spoke French splendidly however, having served as interpreter in France during thc last year of thc | war. So I promised to correct his Engllsh and he my French. But I couldn't break him of saying "How do you are." and I guess he found my French equally stubborn. Tlie first night out we stayed at the King's hunting lodge about half way between Mocstrava and the Stanlceva Koca. One can make the whole trip in a day but because Mr. Betenc had to check over supplies and because a me­ ter of freshly fallen snow made going difficult we decided to take It easy. Tlie lodre is located between sheer rock walls at a point where thc roadway ends and the mountain trail begins. Each winter the kitchen and dormitory are opened to tourists. Here one sleeps tn a stillness broken only by the dull roars of avalanches. The day was perfect and lhe night cloudless with a full moon tinting the valley with shimmering white light. We predicted good weather for the morrow but old Triglav is fitful In this respect and one never can tell. Because the hut was so cold and thc blankets so few we moved thc bunks into the kitchen and slept by the Arc. pERTAINLY—a living room Even at that thc place became rather has a personality of its own. like a cold storage chamber.

Contrast them with the climbing easier and more rapid, even so lifeless rooms—where even the tlie going was difficult enough, for at furniture seems sullen and each step our skis sank a foot and a sulky! half into the new snow. We took turns beating out thc path; a very tiresome job. I was soon sweating as though trudging along in a mid-summer sun. My chamois jacket, wind-proof shirt and sweater were soon stored away in my rucksack. A really big avalanche is heard but seldom seen.

Increased to a frenzy of motion. With a terrlflc booming sound. It hurtled down, cut­ ting a swath more than 500 feet wldte on the mountain side. It smoolhered shrubs; battered out croppings of rock; left a cloud of snow in Its wake; and at last with a final roar and burst of energy attacked the forest Itself, com­ pletely burying or demolishing the smaller trees. The snow cloud con­ tinued to hover over the course, aftar the last sound had been re-echoed from We were laboring slowly along under strong sunlight, with shirt sleeves rolled up and collars open. I was un­ comfortable from lhe heat and wished for some of the wind that was blowing up wispa of snow on the peaks. My wish was quickly and brutally granted. As we started up the long steep pass to­ wards Kerma Koca a wind of gale-like proportions came tearing down from Triglav. Il filled the air with dry. coarse snow particles that stung like sand. Thc transfer from warm to cold was as sudden as a plunge into cold water. I seemed to feel thc wind blowing straight through to my back­ bone. my eyes smarted from the snow particles and my nose became insen­ sible to the touch as so 'much putty. For all practical purposes wc were caught in a severe snow storm, al­ though in reality there was no fresh snow falling. Spare clothes were rapidly unpacked. I put on two sweaters, a wind-proof jacket, a eoat, two pairs of millens, two stocking caps, a pair of goggles and lied a flannel shirt around my face, leaving only the goggles exposed. We were a strange looking lot as we plod­ ded along against the wind. Kerma Koca was our first stop. It is simply a shepherd's hut, containing one room about 10x15. The walls are far from wind-proof and the interior de­ cidedly drafty. Along the far end a bunk filled with straw Is built across lhe width of thc room. In front of the bunk is an open flreplace—and when I say open I mean open. It is simply a flat stone table about two feet square on which one builds fires. The smoke is supposed to go out through a hole in this roof. I believe some of it might on a perfectly calm day. but we were there when a strong wind was blowing. The walls and rafters are black and sticky from wood tar and the place smells like smoked herring. There Is Just One SURE Way To Have Mone And That Is to SA \E IT by Entrusting IT to the Safe Keeping of Some Responsible Banking Institution So It Can’t “Burn Holes in'Your Pockets It’s always well to have something laid up for a “rainy day.” The “rainy day” of sickness, adversity, or hard time's 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! there. The little cabin was a shelter of sorts from the snow and we had visions of warming ourselves before a blazlpg fire while waiting for calmer weather. But our fire was a doubtful comfort. The resulting smoke was less prefer­ able if anything, than the cold. So we alternated between building fires and attempting to shield our eyes and noses from the pungent, suffocating fumes and extinguishing thc fire and trying to protect ourselves from the cold. While we were eating dinner the four porters arrived all covered with snow. They had been out tn the storm for an hour longer than we. The packs they carry average 110 pounds in weight.

May 5 —Delayed plant­ ing of potatoes by Michigan growers results in the marketing of immature tubers which prejudice lhe buying pub­ lic against Michigan stock, according to the farm crops department at Mich­ igan State College. Unripe potatoes are saggy and dark colored when cooked. Both the appear­ ance and quality of the potatoes Is poor and the hoeewife who once buys them is apt to purchase potatoes grown in some other section when she has to renew the supply for lhe household. Immature potatoes are apt to liave the skins broken in digging or in han­ dling for shipment to thc tubers ap­ pear rough and dirty as they arc ex­ posed for sale in tlie markets. Tills gives them a handicap to overcome before they get into the consumer's home. Most of the Michigan, market nop te produced from Russctt Rural seed stock. Tills variety needs 120 to 130 days after planting to become fully ripe, and the planting date should be early enough to allow that length of growing season before the danger of frosts. In average years, a planting date of from May 15 to May 31 will be satis­ factory for the section north of Mus­ kegon and Saginaw. Potatoes may be planted safely from five to ten days WOODLAND.

S.'Buprcme Court has reached a decision in the Chicago wa­ ter diversion case. The decision Is against that dty and requires Chicago to decrease at regular intervals the amount of water it takes from Lake Mlahlgan, until the year 1838, on and after which year It shall be limited to J.500 cubic feet of water per second. Chicago had gradually encroached up­ on the water* of that lake until she was taking 10500 cubic feet per second. The supreme court holds that Chi­ cago must build sewage disposal plants can get rid of her sewage dumping it into the drainage canal and sending It down stream to pollute the waters of the Illinois and Mississippi The decision is a complete victory for the states that fought the Chicago wa­ ter steal. It must be peculiarly grati­ fying to Justice William W. Potter who. when he was Attorney General, made the argument against Chicago before the supreme court and. when tlie case was brought up for final settlement, again argued-the matter before the highest court Mr. Potter's position In lhe hearing before the supreme court has been vindicated completely by the without decision rendered last week. URGES WIDER USE OF-SPRINGBUTTEII" SCIENTIST TELLS AUDIENCE IT CONTAINS MORE OF SUNLIGHT VITAMIN PREVENTATIVE FOR DE­ GENERATIVE DISEASES Says People Do Not Yet Beem to Realige Importance of Spring Dairy Products upon lhe calcium and vitamin content of our bodies to keep u* going and eventually wo break down. By Intro­ ducing vitamin D, known as the 'sun­ light vitamin,' we build up the bone, prevent tooth decay, which is the most universal disease, and eventually re­ move the Infection which produces de­ generative diseases. “Although it is not generally realized, pyorrhea, or decalcification of the teeth, is usually accompanied by smlllar break-downs in other bones of the body. Hence the remedy is one of diet. “Our primary object Is that of pre­ vention. It is remarkable under the circumstances that people have not come to realize fully the advantage of spring dairy products, particularly of spring butter. In lhe winter, mothers pay high prices for 'fresh' butter, whereas the product that has been In cold storage from the previous spring Is of much higher value. The capsules he uses contain a concentrate of vita­ mins from high vitamin butter, togeth­ er with almost equal amounts of high vitamins from cod liver oil." According to Dr. Price, many people are ----------suffering from degenerative dls— ----- --------- ---------- ---i, especially from pyorrhea and resuiting ng diseases disease* of the teeth, which could be prevented by a change in diet. Milk and butter contain Vitamin D that will prevent the break down of the teeth and other serious disorders in the body. Any doctor, we are sure, could furnish a person with a list of the kinds of foods that contain vitamin D which, according to this scientist, has so much to do with good health. ly But Benefits Are Lim­ ited and Temporary East Lansing. May 6.—Mole drainage systems can only be successful on lands which-have a heavy clay subsoil, and the benefits, even on such areas, are limited and of short duration, accord­ ing to experiments conducted by the agricultural engineering department of Michigan State College. Mole drainage Is attractive In theory because such a system can be Installed at a cost of two dollars per acre where the lines are spaced two rods apart but the College trials showed that the lines would remain open only a comparatively short time, and that a heavy rain soon after the drains were made might All them up Immediately. The mole drains are made by attach­ ing a cylindrical piece of steel to thc bottom of a plow coulter which is spe­ cially constructed to run in the subsoil below the usual plowing depth. The coulter cuts a narrow silt in the soil andt the |iassage of the steel cylinder leaves a tunnel at the bottom of the slit. This tunnel will not remain open ex­ cept in clay subsoil, and. as water premeates such soils very slowly, each tunnel drains only a narrow area un­ der ideal conditions. Thc College agri­ cultural engineer* -advise the use of such a system only In combination with tile drains where the mole drains can be used as laterals. | Y. M. C. A. ITEMS 0r. Weston A.

Of course no (one could be expected to refrain from iburning a marsh if that was necessary in their farming operations. But to I 1set fire to a marsh with no special ob­ Ject in view might mean the destruc­ jtion of many pheasants' nests.

It Is Ihoped that, os far ap possible, tlie re­ <quest from Deputy Conservation Officer ;Sumner may be carried out. The writer and another .Hastings gentleman represented a committee who recently visited State Highway Commissioner Dillman in the interest of some road buiklihg In this couniy. In the course of the conversation it was mentioned to Mr. Dillman by the two Hastings gentlemen that Barry county had a fine lot of lakes and splendid resort possibilities. Mr. Dillman made o significant reply+<Jndeed Barry county has a lot of fine lakes, and has wonderful re­ sort possibilities. That sees to be well recognized outside of Barry county, but your own county does not seem to be sold on your resort possibilities.'' Wc think there is a world of truth in what Mr. Dillman said. No county in southern Michigan has as many lakes nor as fine resort lakes as Barry couniy. Four of them seem to have , had their resort possibilities developed partially. But some lakes of this FASCINATION OF county that have splendid resort pos­ sibilities are not developed at all.

The roads leading to such , lakes do not need to be made to the j !nw grades that have been customary In county road work, but they should be wide enough for travel; they should be crowned and covered with gravel; I and so made that easy drainage of thc i highways would result. In that matter the townships and county could ahd should cooperate. If Barry county's I lakes were developed as they could bo I and should be, several millions of dol­ lars could be added to the taxable prop- | erty In this county in permanent Ik- ; sort properties. Through this increase I of taxes, due to increase In resort prop- ! erty, the county and townships would soon be repaid for what they might in- | vest in good roads to make these resort j lakes accessible. Another thing greatly needed Is to ,! have the resort lakes well stocked with I fish. If the Barry County Tourist and | Resort Association cannot take on this | i responsibility, as we think they should, then an organization should be formed. I Just as they have over in Branch 11 county, for the purpose of stocking the I lakes with game fish. There is no ques- I j tton about the cooperation of the1 State Conservation Department in. stocking our lakes. In Branch county . L alone last year as many fingerlings- ra were raised and brought to fingerling ‘ ivl length and put in the lakes of that 11IJ county by the Branch county organize- » tion as by all the fish hatcheries in the Kl state of Michigan in all the'lakes of the 1 other counties. As we remember it gS something over 400.000 fingerlings were l]| planted by the one organization In the lakes of Branch county last year. The h | state sends out millions of fish fry. but I U they are so small when put in the > SSj lakes and have so many enemies that nj only a small percentage of them live. The state fish hatcheries are raising ' h ] larger numbers of fingerlings to plant , (U in the lakes every year. A Barry coun- I ty organization would have to depend I (J upon the local hatchery for the fish fry I to plant In the rearing ponds, which , hl the organization might provide.

The council makes a statement this week calling attention to this ordi­ nance and the penalties for violation thereof. It might also be well for auto driv­ ers to remember to sound their horns when driving out of the alley Just north of the post office and south of H. 8. Sheldon's office. This 1* u dan­ gerous place as neither the driver nor the pedestrian can sec each other un­ til It 1* too late for either to stop. A little more caution on the part of per­ sons driving automobiles would mean more safety for folk* who have to walk. Several times the writer has noticed cars coming rapidly out of this alley, in fact so rapidly that an accident could not have been avoided had an elderly person or a child been cross­ ing the entrance, as they have a per­ fect right to do. There is a large "Stop" sign on the Sheldon building but not one in a hundred drivers pay a bit of attention to this warning but rush madly on. regardless of other's right* and privileges Bicyclists and motortat* should be more careful and remember the other fellow.

Fortunately, however, no serious harm was done to the oc­ cupants of either car. Philip Minges, of Batlie Creel, was driving south on Broadway in his Buick sedan, evidently going al a rapid rate. James Mead of Rutland was coming up Green street towards this corner from the west, drlving a I-'ord truck at moderate speed. Mr. Mead evidently expected Minges to turn west on Green street. Instead Minges was hurrying south up the Broadway hill to get to the school liousc. When it looked as if a collision was inevitable Minges tried to turn east but not in time to avoid a smashup. The Mead truck was knocked over and Mead himself hurled through the windshield onto his head near Gordon Ironside’s comer. Minges was cut slightly on the arm. Mead’s head was badly cut. but injuries were not serious. He was dazed for some time. The truck was wrecked, but the sedan was not greatly damaged. Tlrcre is a stop sign on Broadway on Um1 south of Green street and another on East Green when approach­ ing Broadway; but there are no such । signs when one Is approaching this comer from either the north or west because It u a trunk line.

This community and her wide circle of friends were shocked Saturday af­ ternoon by the announcement of the passing of Mrs. J. R. Mason at Ann Arbor, where she liad been taken for medical treatment. While it was. known to many that she was ill. so little did she complain and so bravely did she bear up and so persistently was site cheerful that no one realized tiie ser­ iousness of her condition. Her disease had been baffling. She was taken, to the local hospital and later to the Blodgett hospital. Grand Rapids, where she was under the care of a specialist for some time. Her condition not im­ proving as was hoped, she was taken to Ann Arbor where site died. Elnora Barr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amza Barr, was born in Grand Rapids July 20. 1885. In her early years she moved willi- her parents to Muske­ gon. her father dying there when she was but fourteen years old. She graduated from tire Muskegon High school, coming to Hastings with her mother shortly after and hod since continuously resided in this city. Sc)itember 5. 1917, she was united in marriage to Janies _R- Mason and was all that a faithful, loving wife and helpmate could be. Tiie outstanding qualities in Mrs. Mason were her loyal­ ty to her friends, her lovable, sunshiny disposition and the uniform courtesy and kindness sliown to others. She had a particularly happy faculty of under­ > standing young people and the aged.

OFFICERS GET TWO MEN ON , CHARGE OF NETTING FISH Hampton and Carl Scotsman, both of Prairieville township, on a charge of netting. They confiscated the net and and the 45 blue gills, calico bass, sun fish and black bass they had netted that had been taken illegally. The two men were brougiit before Justice Cortright late in the afternoon Friday, plead guilty and each paid a fine of >90 and costs of *8.95. The fish were turned over to Pennock hospital. When fish were plentiful in Barry county lakes and in the days when peopic had little leisure time to fish, netting in the lakes was not so serious a matter, but now the state with great expense maintains a conservation department to keep lakes supplied and when there are so many people who like to fish it does sectn as if theft! is no warrant for anybody to net fish and spoil the flailing. plate Tennt tlon v ment Every mere me* art fiadlng out the comfort of Sport Oxfords.

The two men were evidently not the ordinary type of bootlegger* although they had a bootlegger's car. It may mt have been used for that purpose as yet, but it was surely constructed for such use. It had only been driven about 3.000 miles. The two men were compelled to dis­ gorge the contents.of their pockets and of their traveling cases. The latter were expensive and beautiful plecej,of leath­ ergoods. They were carefully examined. There could be mile* doubt of the bus­ iness in which at least one of the two men was engaged in. Il seemed quite evident that he brought liquor from Canada into this country by the car load. He could probably make and number by hand the strips of tin used in the Tyden car seal, which is used on all Canadian railroads. He probably could make the coil spring, but the cap would lieved, was probably the reason why he wai anxious to get a supply of caps from the local factory. Among the contents of their suit cases were bank books. Indicating de­ posits of large sums of money. But generally speaking there was little positive proof of the kind of business tliey were engaged In. The two men evidently tried not to have anything either In their pockets or in their suit­ cases that would furnish any definite proof of dealing in liquor. But a read­ ing of the cards and the memoranda that were found could not leave any doubt as to the business one of them was engaged in. They had business cards from institutions and individuals In various parts of Canada, also Chi­ cago. Detroit. Cleveland. Buffalo, Sy­ racuse and New York City. They were no cheap-skates, that was qiute evident. One of them was evidently used to do­ ing business on a large scale. The two men. who came here In a car evidently Intended for bootleg use. who were the Instigators In getting the boys to pick up parts they desired for the caps of the Tyden seals, gave their names as Saul Hell and Sam Neuman Heit did not Rive any address but talked a great deal about Chicago.

He is evidently quite an Important part of some or­ ganization designed to gel Intoxicating liquor into this country. Neuman claimed Chicago as his home. It was evident to the sheriff that this was a case for the federal authorities to deal with. The sheriff actually had only a case of driving with an unlawful license plate, or disorderly conduct, as. a possible charge to be placed against .the two men. Neither charge is serious. Accordingly the matter was taken up with the federal authorities. On Fri­ day afternoon Deputy U. S. Marshal C. Whitney, of Detroit, appeared on the scene, examined the papers and all the evidence In the case and decided tlint the government was decidedly interest­ ed. The two men. in his opinion, were engaged In a conspiracy against the Uni’cd States. . Accordingly he and Sheriff Leonard took the pair to Grand Rapids Saturday forenoon, where they will be kept until the fed­ eral authorities can make a thorough investigation into their cases, with what would seem to be good prospects of unearthing a real conspiracy.

Mr. Foster will come to this county with high recommendations from the State College as well as from many in­ dividuals who know him and his work. Professor Roswell G. Carr, who is in charge of county agents for the western half of the state, has taken much in­ terest th the selection of a county agent for this county to succeed Paul Rood, because the latter was regarded as an unusually good man for such service. Mr. Carr wished to suggest a successor who would impress the farmers ot Barry county favorably. He himself fully expects that Mr. Foster will make a satisfactory county agent. After the people of this county had voted to continue agriculture extension work In the county, Mr. Carr has been canvassing the situation thoroughly and seeking for the best available man to fill the place. He strongly recom­ mended Mr. Foster to the supervisors’ agricultural extension committee, con­ sisting of Supervisors L. R. Glasgow of this city, William Gorham of Rutland and Leon Moon of Baltimore. It was Mr. Carr’s suggestion, and the com­ mittee fully agreed with him, that It would be best for Mr. Poster to come to Hastings and meet tiie committee. Ac­ cordingly he Journeyed from St. Pau) to Lansing and came here wltn Mr. Carr, the latter having made an appointment with the committee here. It so hap­ pened that Supervisor Moon was not able to meet with the committee that day. Because the other two members of the committee wished their action to be unanimous, they did not arrange with Mr. Forter at that time. Since then the three members of the super­ visor’s committee held a meeting. Mr. Moon took the portion that, if the other two members were satisfied with Mr. Foster, he wanted to act with them and that therefore tliey would unite in selecting him as the agent. Accordingly Mr. Foster will be here on June 15. after he shall'have com­ pleted his work in the 81. Paul college. Thereafter he will be ready to give his best service to the people of this coun­ ty. He will come to us a stranger, bu( we are sure that his reception will be cordial. He is married, will bring his family here with him and enter upon active work as soon as he can familiar­ ise himself with the local situation. Those who had the pleasure of meet­ ing the new agent when he was here agree that he is a man of fine per­ sonality and believe that he will make good. He has the reputation of being a hard worker and of being a very like­ able person. While the work of the county agent will not be new to him because of his experience in Newaygo county, yet the field is new and the problems of the farmers of Barry county are quite different from those fn Newaygo. The authorities at Lan­ sing as well as those wlio met Mr. Fos­ ter when he was here feel confident that he will spare no effort to give good service to tire people of this county and believe he will please them.

The pastor, feelingly referred to the fact that this couple, who had lived together for sixty years, had been faithful to the home, faithful to tiie church and faithful as citizens. At the close of the service many came forward to congratulate thin worthy couple on their diamond anniversary. John Smelker and Sarah Luscher were married at the bride’s home in Perrysburg, Ohio, just south of Toledo, on May 10. 1870. They made their home on the farm near Freeport, where they proa|M<red and raised a fine fam­ ily. When Mr. Smelker’s health became such that he could no longer carry on the work of the farm, they moved to this city and have resided herd for up­ wards ot twenty years, and have won respect and esteem of a large and in­ creasing number of friends. Mrs. Smelker was bom in Ohio. Mr. Smelkcr was bom in Germany. He was a child only four weeks old when he was brought with his parents on a sail­ ing vessel to the United -States. The Journey across the ocean required more than 60 days. The family settled In Ohio first, but In 1853 moved to Barry county when John was but seven years of age. He has lived in Barry county ever since. The Banner Joins their many friends in sincere congratulations, and wishes for many more anniversaries for them. JURORS FOR MAY TERM. OBITUARY.

Below we give thc reault ot the elec­ tion held In Hasting* township, on Monday. There were ten scattering ballot* cast for candidates other tiian thc regular Democrat and Republican nominees, under the name* of Union. Independent and Temperance, which we do not Include for want of apace. Sup­ ervisor—D. O. Robinson, democrat. IM; Geo. P. Baker, republican. 112; township clerk—J. W. Bentley, republi­ can. 165; Wm. Jones, democrat. IM; treasurer—Wm. Barlow, democrat. 161; Z. Scidmore. republican. 145; Justice of the Peace—Geo. A. Smith, democrat. 155; A. Ryerson, republican. 122; Com­ missioner of Highways—P. Brown, democrat, 175; L. F. Burgher, republi­ can, 131; School Inspector—A. W. At­ kins. democrat, 170; Earl Brown, re­ publican. 137; Constables—Wm. Cooper, democrat, W. Brown, democrat. Ell Throop, democrat and M. 8. Stebbins, republican, by majorities ranging from one to four. The result of the elections in this county as a whole are more favorable to the Republican party than we anti­ cipated.Jn some townships, the Repub­ licans arc so strong and the Demo­ cracy so weak, that only Republican tickets were polled against each other. The Republicans have gained Super­ visors in Rutland and Irving, and lost one in Hastings. April 26, IMO. News from the different parts of the county represent the growing wheat a* remarkably fine, looking uncommonly well for the season. We hear of but few pieces which have been aterially In­ jured by the frosts of the winter. Some other localities in the state have not fared equally wen, although the pros­ pect of a fair crop throughout, is sel­ dom better at tills time of the year. A few days ago, John O'Riley, of Rutland, butchered a hog which weighed 500 1-4 lbs. We call that a pretty good hog for a season of poor com.

I J sored by the Ann Arbor Railroad and Michigan State College included the close culling of poor cows, the Im­ provement of the quality of dairy prod­ ucts, an increased acreage of alfalfa, and the use of purebred sire*. Meetings were held in Benzie, Manis­ tee. Wexford. Missaukee, Osceola. Clare, Isabelle, Gratiot, Clinton. Shiawassee, and Livingston counties. Before each meeting, eighth grade pupils had mode a survey of the number of purebred, grade, and scrub sires used In each school district. The figures obtained by the pupils and thc knowledge of local conditions possessed by the committeeman who attended each meeting formed the basts tor working out a plan of Im­ provement for each county. Business men In the towns agreed to assist in carrying the adopted plans to comple­ tion. The survey made by the school chil­ dren showed that only 40 per cent of the sires used in the . dairy herds of that section are purebreds.

Fnrr of Hickory Corners was here tion in Death gram committee for the Memorial Day East Lansing, May 12. Records of the condition of livestock as It Is receivedI al the terminal markets shows that the death rate among shipped hogs is higher during May than any other month of the year. A great deal of this loss can be elimi­ nated if ths proper precautions are taken when the hogs are loaded.. Recommendations were made at thei fourth annual meeting of the Live­ stock Loss Prevention Association ini Lansing that all prospective shippersi be warned ot the measures necessary to1 reduce losses In shipment. Hogs fed In transit during hot weath­ er have a higher percentage of lossi than those unfed. Cars which are' cleaned before the hogs are loadedI contain less dead animals when the car’ arrives at the market. Sand is the best material for bedding cars, and the death losses were 50 per cent lower In cars bedded with sand than in cars where other materials were usedOverloading tiie cars trebles ths death rate during hoi weather and increases the losses In any weather. Carloads of hogs containing large sows or stags show heavy losses if thc larger hogs are not partitioned off from the smaller animals. Mixed car­ loads of livestock are not as safe as straight cars of hogs even when the other kinds of livestock are separated from the hogs by partitions. Obituary. John William Munton, was bom In Grantham. England, May 28th, 1849. and spent the first few years of hls life in that village.

While a young man he embraced tiie Christian religion and was steadfast in hls.faith all hls life. He was affiliated with the various local Masonic bodies and with the local chapter of tiie East­ ern Star.

A quart of “used” New Iso-Vis, black with the usual crankcase dirt, is drained* from a car after many hun­ dreds of miles of driving. Five minutes later we have a quart of oil that might have come straight from the re­ finery. It has the clear amber color. The same heavy body. Yet it is exactly, tbe same down" in the crank­ case. A special filter temovti the crankcaae di n from "used" New Ito-Vitand the oil itself is exactly the name u when freshly diatillad. What has happened is simply that a special day filter has removed the dust and dirt? This is one of thc many tests that prove beyond question that New Iso-Vis will not thin out in the crankcase. New Iso-Vis has other important advan­ tages. It brings a radical reduction of car­ bon deposit. And it gives lubrication over a wider range of temperatures.

Your streets, business places and homes, can be kept clean, inviting and dust-free if the simple Dowflake method of dust control is used. T D0WFLAKE n CALCIUM CHLORIDE _^-^ n Dust prevention with Dowflake Cal­ cium Chloride is the clean method —approved by thousands of residents in leading- communities. This clean, odorless, non-tracking material melts itself into the road surface by absorb­ ing moisture from the air as soon as applied. It prevents dust by keeping the road surface moist for long periods of time. Road dust is unnecessary. It need not even be countenanced in your parks, playgrounds, cemeteries, or private estates. All can be made dust-free with Dowflake. If you want freedom from the dust nuisance ask your offi­ cials to prevent dust with Dowflake. Talk with your neighbors about d local dust petition.

Stage settings, splendid In their sim­ plicity, combined with fine lighting to form the perfect atmosphere as back­ ground for a most capable and well choaen cast which Ailed all parts un­ usually well. Johnnie Armbruster’s excellently re­ strained portrayal of the Duke Orslno and his accurate feeling for the gen­ eral tone of the play were most en­ joyable and constituted perhaps the best individual performance of lhe evening. The finished manner with which Seward Walton spoke Malvollo’s lines, his neat comcdy-sense and the utter abandon at his rendition also proved very pleasing to the audience. Miss Margaret Gladstone was lovely as lhe regal countess, Olivia, and her Ane voice added to the scenes in which she apjiearod. As Sir Toby, the bored and blustering uncle of Olivia, Lloyd Freeman did a very creditable bit of acting. Feste, the clown, was joyously played by Miss Allcen Isenhath. There were moments which savored of professional ability. The scene wherein Malvollo find* the letter on the garden i>ath. and reads It to the Indig­ nation of Sirs Toby. Fabian, and An­ drew hidden behind lhe tree, was one of these. There were also the scenes between Olivia and Viola which were well done. A most difficult bit, grace­ fully enacted, wan the kitchen scene which might easily have proven awk­ ward for less able amateurs.

Most of them were due to straight windstorms that visited almost the entire state and caused several thousand small losses, which in the aggregate amounted to a big sum; but. generally speaking, the individual losses were inconsiderable. This year the situation Is reversed. There has been no widespread wind­ storm but tliere have been cyclones. We mentioned some of lhe destruction that was caused in this county, and the same was true of ten or twelve other coun­ ties in the southwestern part of lhe state. There was no statewide storm like the one a year ago last March. On Tuesday of last week another twister visited Michigan. It. however, did not do as widespread damage as the cyclones that came a few days earlier. This one took a swath across Clinton county, fortunately not hitting any of the villages, but destroying 32 barns and many orchards. MEMORILDIY (Continued from page one) ens director, will lend this’parade. The Spanish War Veterans, the Lawrence J. Bauer Poet of the American Legion, the Auxiliary, Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls will meet at tne Legion hall at 7:30, so that the parade can start promptly for Riverside cemetery at eight o’clock. The High school band will also be in the the march to River­ side, where Memorial services will be held. Following the services at the ceme­ tery. at 10:30, the second line of march will be from the Methodist church east to Michigan avenue, north to Slate street and west on Stale street to the court house square, where the following program will be given. Bong—America the Beautiful—By the audience. Invocation—Rev. L..L. Dewey. Opening Remarks—William Wallace. Lincoln’s Gettysbcrg Address—Gerald Skidmore. Allegiance to the Flag—Boy Scouts. Introduction of Speaker—command­ er Henry B. Hubert. Address—Congressman John C. Ketcham. Song—America—By the audience. Ta|>s—Boys Scouts. Scout Executive Don M. Higgins will lead the singing. Those who know the speaker—and we believe every man. woman and child in Barry county knows him—all realize that this city and county will have in him a worthy spokesman for Memorial Day and one who can give such an ad­ dress as the day and occasion deserve. The program seems to have been well thought out and worked out. We are sure there'will be much interest in Memorial Day in Hastings. It will be noticed that the exercises will all be in the forenoon. We believe that chang? will be generally approved. It should make it easier for all who will have any part in the exerciser. HUDSON MOTOR CAR CO.

They cannot talk back readily, so one can say very uncalledfor things. Particularly Is It true that we are apt to condemn our state government for increase of state taxes, without thinking of what we receive from the same government in actual dollars and cents. Take, for instance, Barry county. Our state tax last year waa something over *90,000. Yet Barry county received from the state, in primary school money and highway funds from the weight and gas taxes and tn other benefits, •2.99 for every dollar we paid in state Semdac invites the Sunshine taxes for 1929. There arc a few coun­ ties in Michigan Uiat receive as high as M OO for each dollar paid Into the state treasury. Barry county heads lhe list of those that -received more than 12.00 and less than |3.oo last year. Only sixteen counties in Michigan pay less in their total state tax than It costs the state just to maintain the wards of those eounlea in state insti­ tutions. In Barry county the .state spends for highway building and main­ tenance far beyond what we pay* to lhe state. It maintains in state insti­ tutions many persons from this coun­ ty, and renders no bill for their care When it comes to the question of taxation, wc do not need to look farther away than our own city, township, school and county taxes lo find where the great bulk of the tax increase | arises. The state tax is an inconslderable part of the total taxes we pay. In the nature of things, the amount of money which this as well as other | counties will receive from the state of Michigan will increase with the years. Certain big corporations pay into the primary school fund. As these corpo­ rations increase their resources, the larger will be that fund. As more and more automobiles are added to the to­ tal number in Michigan, Barry county's portion from the automobile tax will Increase. This county can consider itself very fortunate because it happens to lie on the route between several large cities For instance, between Battle Creek and Grand Rapids; Kalamazoo and Lan­ sing; Grand Rapids apd Jackson. Fur­ thermore it seems quite certain that the terminus of M-66 will be in Hus­ tings. as this will make a convenient point for people to reach that hlfehway from the east, the west and the south. This will naturally compel the state of Michigan to make Increased expenditures for roads in Barry coun­ ty. not so much on Barry county's ac­ count as because this county happens to lie between good-sized cities, between which there is a growing automobile traffic.

An Insect, the flower thrlps, which is not usually present in Michigan in sufficient num­ bers to cause damage to fruits or crops, is reported to be so abundant this year that the entomology department at Michigan State College advises lhe use of control measures to prevent injuries to fruit. The last previous years when damage was done by the insect in this State were 1918 and 1910. Especially favorable weather conditions or the absence of natural enemies apparently permit lhe thripa to multiply rapidly In certain years. Damage to fruit can be prevented by the use of nicotine, either as a spray or os a dust. Tlic nicotine can be applied as a special spray or can be included In the regular early sprays. Peaches should |ie sprayed os soon as the shucks full, and raspberries should receive the spray before the plants blossom. Detailed directions for the proper mixing of sprays for the control of thrips can be obtained from the ento­ mology department at the College or from county agricultural agents. Most of the reports of the presence of thrips have been made from the western section of the state, but it is probably present In all parts. It Is a tiny Insect which will escape notice unless the plants upon which it Is feed­ ing are closely Inspected. If you wear a vest what's the sense of buying four-dollar neckties? UNLAWFUL TO MAKE OR SELL THE GOODS U. 8. SUPREME COURT HOLDS GOODS NEEDED FOR LIQ­ UOR TRAFFIC ARE TABOO APPLIES TO BOTTLES, CORKS AND TO MALT Court Holds These Adjuncts to Traffic Cannot Be Lawfully Made and Sold At the request of Prohibition Com­ missioner Doran and Attorney General Mitchel), the U. B. Supreme Court have made a decision on controversial ques­ tions connected with the enforcement of the Volstead act and will doubtless make others within the next sbdy days. The decisions lo be made by the country's highest court may make eaF ier tiie work of enforcing prohibition. The first decision was handed down early last week. It held that the pro­ hibition bureau might seise casks, .bot­ tles. corks, etc., that were displayed to attract purchasers who intend to use them in the manufacture of Intoxi­ cants. Commissioner Doran states that this decision of the highest court furnishes him with a weapon that his forces have long desired and greatly needed. Dealers will be the first objective in the campaign lo put a slop to illegal manufacture. Later the campaign will be carried down to chain stores and small dealers who display bottles, corks, kegs and other supplies to be used by liquor manufacturers. The decision holds that when con­ gress prohibited lhe manufacture of liquor and all property designed for ita illegal manufacture, it Intended to reach all steps in the actual process up to and including the finished product. Hence the*word manufacture was used in its broadest sense without qualifi­ cation or amplification. Barreling, bottling, marking, stamp­ ing. and labeling not only devolve upon the manufacturer, but they were not uncommonly treated by congress as a part of the process of preparing for the market. The packing of the article has always been treated as an incident of its manufacture. The home brew phase hod seemed, to the department of justice, very difficult, because the Supreme Court had form­ erly held that bottles, corks and tin foil were not articles used in the man­ ufacture of intoxicating liquor. The Supreme Court now holds that this former decision in no way affected the question now before the court. The former decision did not cover the mat­ ter at issue at all. bat had to do solely with an Interpretation of the revenue act. arising out of a claim for drawback on exported beer before prohibition was adopted in this country. This decision of the United States Supreme Court puts the legislature of the state of Michigan in a very embarrasslng position. The legislature put a tax on mall and wort, which are materials used In the making of home brew. If malt and wort are Illegal products under the decision made last week by the Supreme Court at Wash­ ington, Michigan would be In the unen­ viable position of legalizing illicit goods by collecting a tax on them. , Thousands of stores in Michigan have been selling caps, bottles and malt and other articles which can be uxm in mapufacturing home brew. With the Interpretation of the Supreme Court backing them the prohibition depart­ ment announce that they will put an end to the manufacture and sale of articles that have no other purpose than use In the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor.

May 19.—The planting of small-sized seed potato pieces de­ creases tiie size of the crop and in­ creases the number of tubers which are affected with hollow heart, accord­ ing to data obtained in two yean of experiments conducted by the farm crops department of Michigan State College. Tiie tests were made at the Rossman Brothers Farm at Lakeview, the W. K. Kellogg Farm at Augusta, and the Col­ lege Farm. East Lansing. Certified Russett* Rural seed was used In all of lhe trials. The sizes of pieces used were onehalf ounce, one ounce, one and onehalf ounce, and two ounces. The aver­ age yields Ln bushels per acre obtained for the two years were, with one-half ounce pieces. 91.4, with one ounce. 108.7, with one and one-half ounce. 123.4. and with two ounce, 129.4. No hollow heart was found in any of the potatoes grown in 1929, which was due to favorable weather conditions. In 1928. the crop grown from the half ounce pieces contained twice as many hollow potatoes as the crop grown from the one and one-half ’ ounce pieces. The seed should be cut In thick pieces to avoid drying out In the soil after it is planted. Approximately 15 bushels of seed cut to'one and one-half ounce size will be needed to plant one acre.

MICHIGAN CROP REPORT. The Michigan crop report for May 1 states that the prospects for wheat tn this state indicate a crop 2,000.000 bushels below the 1929 production and over 1,000.000 less than the average for the post ten years. The drought at planting time Is responsible for the poor crop this year; but the weather this spring seems to have been un­ usually favorable. The acreage how­ ever. is smaller than a year ago. There is an indicated probable in­ crease in the rye crop, as 14.000 more acres were planted this year than last. The prospective fruit crop has been reduced bjl the cold weather that pre­ vailed from April 21 to 26. when tem­ peratures of 20 to 25 degrees prevailed throughout the fruit belt, destroying many buds of the'sour cherries, plums, pears and early apples. The damage was heaviest in the southwestern coun­ ties. where such fruit was- in or near the bloom stage. Tiie loss Is believed to be very slight Ln the northern part of the fruit belt. Peaches will be prac­ tically a failure in Berrien county, a light crop in Van Buren, but consider­ ably better in Allegan and the counties further north. The present indications are that apples will be 70 per cent of a normal crop; peaches.32 per cent; pears 70 per cent; cherries 65 per cent; plums 70 per cent and grapes 82 per cent. The condition of tame hay meadows in Michigan was reported about 80 per cent of normal, or about eight points below the condition In May 1929.

Again On the Right Track In Carrying On a Campaign of Tem­ perance Education fiOLD ROND The Banner has frequently com­ mented on the fact that it has been a serious mistake for agencies like lhe churches, the schools and the W. C. T. U. to cease their work for temperance. Just because we happen to have the 18th amendment written into the Constitution. There is nothing about the fact of such an amendment being in the Constitution that will of itself prevent the use of Intoxicants. Largely it is lhe human will, an understanding of the bad effects of alcohol upon the human system and the social as well as the individual harm which drinking intoxicants causes that will make peo­ ple abstain from the use of liquor. Wc must remember, for instance, in Hastings that it has been more than twenty years since a saloon existed in this city. In the meantime a genera­ tion has grown up who do not know what a vicious, depraved place a liquor saloon actually was. Unless something is done in the way of teaching to show the growing generation what harm results from liquor drinking, some of them will be foolish enough to ex­ periment with it. because they have never had lhe object lesson which their elders had in seeing the evils of a li­ censed liquor traffic. We are giad therefore that the mem­ bers of the Michigan W. C. T. U. are engaged at the present time In one df the most extensive educational cam­ paigns in their history.

An act of nature wh|-h often inter­ feres with a well planiled crop rota­ tion is winterkilling of wheat. The farmer whose equipment, plan of op­ erations, and opinion of lhe market make a certain acreage of wheat de­ sirable. can however, substitute spring wheat in some sections. Past experience in northern Illinois has shown that spring wheat is prefer­ able to oats, for it may be sMd as a profitable cash crop. Testa at the Ill­ inois experiment station In IMS. where spring wheat was seeded March 3. proved successful even in southern ureas, yielding 16.7 bushels per acre as an average over the state. The re­ search department of the National As­ sociation of Farm Equipment Manu­ facturers advises that farmers in the central states whose wheat has win­ terkilled may do well to consult their experiment stations on the advisabili­ ty of sowing spring wheat. of North Dakota, director of institutes for the national W- C.

He recent­ ly published some essays in which he forecasts conditions that will exist in the year 2030. He said that, before 2030, he believes scientists will have solved the problem of supplying the world with a limitless amount of cheap power. Molecular energy will be liberated and controlled. The tides will be harnessed. There ls energy equivalent to 10,000,­ 000 horse power for an hour In one pound of water, he said. He believes a cheap and palatable synthetic diet may be discovered. Society, he declares, will also be much changed by the abolition of old forms of struggle and placed on a more leisured, prosperous and ra­ tional basis. COMMENDS MR. FITZGERALD. Grand Ledge has never had a resident as well known, state wide, as Prank D. Fitzgerald, present business manager of the state highway department. No person in the county, at any time, has had a wider and more influential ac­ quaintance In Michigan. His several years In the state service, and particu­ larly In the highway department has given him the opportunity to meet and cultivate leaders of affairs in all parts of the state and he has made the most of his opportunity. Mr. Fitzgerald has proved his ability and few men. In fact no man. has enjoyed Just the same de­ gree of confidence with both Governor Green and former Governor Groesbeck, which fact, of Itself, is a tribute of ap­ preciation to his official usefulness and his personal and political strength among the parly leaders of all factions. In a tour of the upper peninsula last week Mr. Fitzgerald met hundreds of active and potential republicans, ail of whom pledged him their support for secretary of state. If he lives until the fall convention this popular Grand Ledge man. in the opinion of this writer, will be nominated for this high office by Michigan republicans—Char­ lotte Republican-Tribune. SCIENCE FINDS SPINACH ABSORBS VIOLET RAYS. A new turn to the familiar argument concerning the virtues of spinach has been given by two scientists of Iowa State college, who have discovered with the aid of one of the newest branches of physical science, spectroscopy, that this vegetable is a quick absorbent of the valuable ultra-violet rays, states the New York Times. Profs. J. W. Woodrow and H. L. Cunningham re­ ported to the recent meeting In Chicago of the American Physical society that tests of spinach Juice before the spec­ troscope show that tills liquid absorbs certain definite rays of light from the spectrum, indicating that It contains a plentiful supply of Vitamin A. Chemical analysis of materials con­ taining vitamins always has presented great difficulty because the substances which constitute the vitamins exist on­ ly in amounts too small for satisfactory analysis. ju& M AYTA G ThE NEW Maytag sur­ passes all previous Maytag achievements.

"I think Konjola is the most won­ derful medicine in the world, and I have reason to think so. for I suffered for a number of years with stomach and kidney troubles and Konjola was the only medicine that gave me more than temporary relief,” said Mrs. JosephPhemd, 1224 Johnson street. Sag­ inaw. -Gas formed In my stomach, pressed up around my heart, caused It to palpitate and made It hard for me to get my breath. I had terrible pains in my chest. The pains In my back, resulting from kidney trouble, also were very severe. “An indorsement of Konjola by/a lady I know, and with whose case I was acquainted, led me to give this splendid medicine a trial. The first bottle proved to me that I had found the right medicine. After taking the treatment for Just one month I felt fine. My ailments are gone, pains have vanished, and I have the strength and energy a mother of two children needs. Do you wonder that I am grateful for Konjola?'' Why not let such happy experiences as that ot Mrs. Premo point the way for you to, new and glorious health? A complete treatment of from six to eight bottles of Konjola is recommend­ ed for thorough relief. Konjola is sold in Hastings at The Rex all drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.—Adv.

By false statements, showing valua­ tions for lower than the actual, they seek to evade fair taxation. He said they ought to be paying into the treasury of this state from >10,000.000 to $15,000,000 yearly bi taxes. It is the intention of the organization which he > represents, the speaker said, to pre­ pare a bill which will do this and he asked the support of his audience. We are fighting, he said, for a fair opportunity for our boys. The speaker | made a strong plea for giving boys a chance to prepare themselves for such occupations, as may appeal to them. Unless the present syndicate tendency can be arrested, the boy will not have that opportunity; and communities will be deprived of the help that they should have from local business men. The chain store has no stake in any town. It never owns a building, al­ ways rents -it. It never possesses any­ thing that cannot be quickly moved to any other locality if desired. The manager of the chain store is not at liberty to support charitable or benevolent or religious or other local causes. He is there on a small salary. The profits go to a small bunch of wealthy men who use them as they please and care nothing for any com­ munity except to get out of it what they can. In a few years the boys of today will be the government; for in tills coun­ try the people rule. Hence It is im­ portant that the rising generation should be taught the evils of syndicate business, because it robs them of op­ portunities. robs communities of the benefits they should derive from bus­ iness carried on within them and the profits all go to the wealthy owners of the chain stores. Tiie speaker lauded the Boy Scout movement because of what it is doing for boys. Such movements are sup­ ported by the Independent business men. The chain stores and syndicate business do nothing for them. The dif­ ference between the two is shown by what happened at Lansing, where '.he manager of a string of chain store; applied to the city authorities for a permit to employ minors. In order to ret the benefit of their cheap labor! That shows how little the interests of 'the community concern the wealthy proprietors of chain stores, said the speaker. He declared that $100,000,000 went out of Michigan last year through । syndicate business and it does not come back. The beneficiaries are the wealthy proprietors of syndicate business. Mentioning the fanners, the speaker declared that the syndicate stores will soon be competitors of the farmers and truck gardeners. They are already, buying up land to use in large scale production of vegetables and fruits and grains, so that they can monopolize every possible profit. When they can squeeze the farmer, they hold him down to very low prices on his pro­ ducts. The. lower the better It suits them. Referring to cheap labor the speaker said that whenever you buy what b sold very cheap it is cheap because it is a product of cheap labor. The speaker closed his argument by giving num­ erous incidents of short weights, in chain grocery business, where short weights were resorted to in order to hftodwink customers—particularly with canned goods and package goods where a low price Is quoted, but where the weight is shdrt. He declared that the syndicate ques­ tion is one of the most important now confronting the American people. Un­ less something can be done to check the present tendency, it will soon be true that a small coterie of wealthy owners Of syndicates will control the produc­ tion and distribution of products and the 4jncrican |»coplc will be at their mercy. When they are iii such a posi­ tion as that, what mercy they will show will not help the America peo­ ple.

June 25th. when all inland lakes will be open to fishing, the season will open to fishing, the season will open on all bass, bluegills, and sunfish. The stae limit for black bass is not less than ten inches and for calico, rock, strawberry and white bass, not leas than seven inches. The day's catch limit for black bass is five, and 25 In a day as an aggregate of all other kinds of bass, bluegills, sunfish and perch. "Tiie bass season is opening ten days later this year than in 1929." Fred A. Westerman, head of the Fish Division of the Department of Conservation said, "but we do not anUcipate viola­ tions through Ignorance of the new regulations. The later season will more nearly assure anglers that they are not catching baas during their spasming season. The ten days later season will undoubtedly mean an In­ crease in the number of bass In our lakes because of the increased protec­ tion given spawning fish.” ORDER FOB PUBLICATION.

WARNER, Prop. �The Consumers Co.[Has Been Fair',With[the Peo­ ple of Michigan—Hat Never Sought to Bate Its Rates on Monopolistic Own • . erthip'of Water Rights The Grand Rapids Preaa recently had a timely editorial on the subject of electric rates In MUhlgan. asserting that this state Ls Indeed fortunate In having electric rales that are lower than those In surrounding states. The Press holds that It was unfortunate for Michigan to permit its streams to fall Into the hands of private interests, and largely into those of the Consum­ ers Power Company. It holds that the state ought to possess the site owner­ ship and lease-control of Its streams. But the Press is glad to record the fact that, up to the present time, Ute Consumers Power Company has never even attempted to take advantage of Its ownership of water power rights in Michigan. The Consumers Company has made no attempt to charge Mich­ igan power users upon a capitalised value of its monopolised waler rights. The- power plant sites in Michigan that are on rivers have been appraised for rate making purposes entirely upon thc basis of the value of the land, as determined by that of other near-by land used for other purposes, and upon the actual investment in dams and their equipment. The Press calls attention to what this means to the state of Michigan. Thc Niagara Falls Power Company re­ cently put in a claim tn the Inter­ state Commerce Commission, which seta forth that a “fair value" of 032.­ 000.000 for Its waler rights should be added to Its tangible Axed capital of 131,190^00. The Southern California Water Company request, a valuation of *3.000.000 for "water rights" which that company actually bought for *12.500. The Niagara Palls Companypaid very little for their water rights. If this 02.000.000 or this *3.000,000 were added to the actual Investment of those two companies, it would result in a considerable Increase in rales, because the courts have held that power companies are entitled to seven per cent earnings on their actual in­ vestments. This goes to show that.the Consum­ ers Power Company has treated the people of Michigan fairly. Its man­ agers well understand, without doubt, that if it attempted to capitalize its water rights and base its rates upon tig? estimated value of such capitali­ zation, there would be. without doubt, a serious time ahead for the company. There is only one way for a public service corporation to do, and that is what the Consumers Power Company has been doing up to date—treat the public fairly.

When overhauled recently, each one was found in perfect condi­ tion due, It was pointed out. largely to the faithful performance of Veedol on previous voyages. Will Fly to South American Ports Before Landing at Lakehurst, New Jersey Sunday the Oraf Zeppelin, mightiest of all dirigibles up to this time, left Its hangar at Friedrlchahaven. Germany, for it* fourth flight to American shores. The huge sky cruiser was under the command of Dr. Hugo Eckener, as It was on previous occasions. Interesting from the mechanical standpoint is the fact that the Zeppelin and the huge Mayback engines, will again rely upon Veedol oil. products of the Tide Water Oil Company, for lu­ brication. during this flight. So satis­ factory did Veedol perform its Import tant mission on the Zeppelin’s trip around the globe last summer that Dr. Eckener decreed that this dependable type of lubricant should be used ex­ clusively. Thc Zeppelin is scheduled to arrive at the naval air station at Lakehust, N. J., on May 28th or 29th. It will come here by way of South America. But three stops will be made en route, namely Seville. Spain: Rio Janlero and Pernambucco. South America. It will carry passengers and mail os on pre­ vious trips. OBITUARY. Lambert W. Cutcher. son of Samuel and Catherine Cutcher, was born at Curtis.

May 28—Two methods of making profits from Michigan farms are expected by J. F. Cox. dean of Agriculture at Michigan State College, to check any rapid movement of rural residents to the cities. Dean Cox states that the diversity of crops and livestock which can be produced in Michigan make It possible for the operator of a small farm to make profits from the efficient man­ agement of poultry, dairy cattle, fruits, or field crops such os seeds or potatoes; and the owners of large acreage can operate their holdings profitably through the use of power machinery In the production of grain or other cash crops. Improvements In living conditions are also cited by him as reasons for the stabilization of the farm population. Michigan farmers have the benefits of good roads, educational facilities are. Improving, and it Is now passible for farmers to equip their homes with all the latest household conveniences. Thc use of group entemrlses such as cooperative associations for tlw im­ provement of marketing conditions and of herd Improvement associations for the improvement of production prac­ tices is pointed out by Dean Cox to be evidence of the farmers’, continued in­ terest in the future of their business.

Mrs. A. C. Brown, the camp cook for this season, is working on the menus for each meal, and a great big treat Is in store for all who can come to camp this year.

Tiie boys who can come to camp Barry this year win be given the best chance of any who ever attended to learn how to sing and appreciate music, with Rev. L. L. Dewey In charge of all the music. He has a wide exoerlence at leading folks in singing. This feature alone will be worth the cost of " th! camp. ’ "Teach me Father how to go Boftlv as the grasses grow: Teach me.

We know what ten of those words are— ‘ Central you gave me tiie wrong num­ ber." "Excuse It pleaae." A Successful Is Within the Reach 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 fells 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 Bank Account, and we offer depositors every accommodation consistent with safe, sound banking prin­ ciples. Success doesn’t "come to you." You must "reach foi; it.” All it re­ quires is a little more effort and a little more care, and you have it. In the history .of this Bank we have started many young men and young women on the road to Success by theiropening a bank account with us. May we not be of help to you in the same way?

De­ troit. “I suffered from stomach trou­ ble in various forms for ten years. Practically everything I ate caused me to have cramping spells and my stom­ ach bloated with gas. For weeks at a time I was not able to eat any solid foods, nor drink anything cold. I was restless at night and became very nerv­ ous. Continually I suffered from head­ aches and was only able to work part time. ••I first heard of Konjola through the recommendation of friends. I decided to find out what It would do for me. Be­ fore I finished the second bottle my condition Improved wonderfully. I con­ tinued with the treatment until I had taken six bottles, and at thfc end of that time I was eating whatever I pleased without the slightest distress. My nerves were calmed and headaches disappeared. It has been four months since I quit taking Konjola and I have regained my strength. I have not lost a day's work since I completed the treatment." Although many sufferers are greatly benefited within a week or two, it is best to take Konjola for six or eight weeks to obtain thorough results. Konjola is sold In Hastings at The Rexall drug store, and by all the best druggist* in all towns throughout this entire section.—Adv. C f HAT New Iso-Vis Motor Oil JL will not thin out in your crank­ case is almost unbelievable. Yet it is a fact. In each of four small bottles of oil is a tiny metaf bait The speed with which these balls drop to the bottom of the bottles shows you the heaviness of the oils. If the oil is thinned out, the ball falls more quidcly. .This test enables you to compare "used” New Iso-Vis with fresh New Iso-Vis—also "used” New Iso-Vis with other kinds of used oil. New Iso-Vis is the only motor oil that will not thin out. The carbon deposit from New IsoVis has been shown by tests to be 50% less than the average . , deposit of various better grade oils. Also this new oil lubricates at high temperatures, yet flows in icide weather. Never before has one oil rated so high on so many important points ... points that are vital to the long life of your engine.

FARMERS WILL PLANT I LARGE BEET ACREAGE Weather and Labor Condition* Permit Growers to Get Crop Seeded Early East Lansing, May 20— A substantial contribution to the national sugar bowl is indicated by the increase |n the sugar beet acreage which Michigan fanners have been able to plant during excep­ tionally favorable weather, according to reports received by the farm crops de­ partment at Michigan State College. This year’s acreage will be 90.000 in Michigan, which is an increase of 35.­ 000 from last season’s total. The beet grower* have their crop contracted at seeding time so the larger production Is not reflected in decreased market returns. Unfavorable labor conditions in many cities have made it possible to secure laborers for the beet fields much more easily than during recent year*. The production of n good beet tonnage de­ pends a great deal upon the labor spent upon the crop, and the inability to get men to work in the fields discouraged growers. Members of the crop* department be­ lieve that 75 per cent of the beet crop Is already planted. Thia per cent of thc acreage is usually not seeded until af­ ter June 1. Early planting permit* the growers to get the beet* off the working program before other crops demand attention Mb* Lob Marshall of Nashville, was but Is not essential for the production the guest of Mbs Rebecca Strilter over of a good crop.

He did not discover until Sunday evening, after he had driven to Lawten that day. that the license plates on his car were gone. Of course he thought it was funny'that they should have both disappeared, but he didn’t give much thought to the loss. . Monday forenoon four bank robbers went into the Antrim County Savings Bank at Mancelona, ordered the offi­ cers of the institution and iialf a dozen introns to he down on the floor, face down, while they proceeded to gather in the money.

It came out In the investigation ot I that case that moonshine whiskey had i been procured from the farm home of I John Lusko. The sheriff had had his 'suspicions of the Lusko premises as i being the source of bootleg stuff for some time. As a result of his investl* ; gallon he secured positive evidence . that moonshine was being made in the Lusko home Mr. Lusko was not charged with direct responsibility in I the matter, because he was not home at the time.

Tn In thi* the rthtnurn Chicago Tribune of Sunday reference Is mode to an arti­ cle signed by Major Barnes and pub­ lished in a service magazine. Many Hastings friends of Major Barnes, who was bom and grew to young manhood here, will be glad to read what lhe Tribune says. Major Barnes Is too modest to say tn his article that he designed the carriages and the mechan­ ism for the anti-aircraft guns which he describes, but that is the fact. The' Tribune says: Washington. D. C.. May 24.—(Spe-, dal.)—Hostile aircraft and the offen-; rive power and speed of improved} ground fighting machines have ren­ dered many present types of field ar-, tdlery obsolete. Maj. G. M. Barnes, chief of the design division of the I Watertown arsenal. Watertown. N. Y..I asserted today in a signed article ap­ pearing in a service magazine. Maj. Barnes declared that existing types of divisional artillery, as exem­ plified by the French 75 millimeter gun are Incapable of effective action against the high speed targets pre-1 rented by the light combat tank andi attack aviation. He pointed out that these guns cannot be'\ moved fast enough, cannot be elevated\sufnclently I to fire at aircraft, and cannot'Tire fast enough to furnish the\ fire con-1 JJY centration necessary to fight on equal >-<4 terms with the new fighting machines.

Unfortunately not only the guns and carriages, but the|ap44 fire control instruments developed for! use of field artillery are wholly un-. " suitable for use against high sj&ed mov-■ ing targets. Practically all firing data । must be computed slowly and laborious­ ly. These new conditions call for field artillery of a new type. Fire control equipment of the battery must be aug­ mented so that these batteries can bring effective Ore against stationary ground target* and with equal facility al high speed targets in the air." As an example of what the army is doing to develop a better field artillery weapon. Maj. Barnes cited a new type of universal field gun carriage recently completed at the Watertown arsenal. The carnage Lt equipped with wheels mounting puncture proof tires. A high velocity 75 millimeter gun Is mounted on this carriage at present, but ac­ cording to Maj. Barnts, the same car­ riage can ba used for 105 -millimeter howitzers and other divisional artillery. . The carriage Is fitted with two regu­ lar trails, two spare trails, and two outriggers. If an all around field of fire Is desired the wheels and axles can be removed quickly from the jxtdesUl of the gun carriage and the lat­ ter lowered to the ground. • In this position the gun can be fired through 360 degrees of traverse and up to 80 degrees elevation. In firing position the gun and carriage weigh 5,800 pounds. For rapid movement a six wheel truck is used. The carriage can be readily aboard the truck and reas­ sembled for firing In five minutes after the new firing position Is reached. "The battery fixe control equipment required for dealing with high speed moving vehicles and airplanes." Maj. Barnes said, "would consist of a range and height finder, automatic fire con­ trol computer or director, together with an electrical firing data trans­ mission system.” Pick mushrooms when they are "but­ tons”—that is. before the membrane or veil extending from the margin of the cap to the stem has broken. At this i.lage they command a better price than when larger. Mushrooms may be picked by twisting the base of the any holes made In picking.

Thia la Idle talk. The great sciential* of the present day are not like the aclentlata of some paat gener­ ation*—scoffer* at religion. On the contrary the outstanding ones are men who believe In a future life, believe in the exlatence of God, and find nothing In science that contradicts such views and very much that auatalna them. In the Chicago Bunday Tribune of May 25, there is a long article con­ cerning Professor Arthur H. Compton, of the Physics Department of the Unlveralty of Chicago, who won the Nobel prise In 1927 for distinguished scientific research. Dr. Compton lias devoted more than fifteen years to a study ot lhe atom—especially its structure^, as shown by hls studies In X-ray dif­ fraction. It was largely hls work that proved that the atom la not the ulti­ mate division of matter. He found that lhe atom.itself is made up of a positive particle of electricity around which whirls, with Incredible speed, negative electrons. The Tribune interviewer was Inter­ ested to know what science, particu­ larly lhe new physics, haa to say about the problems of free will, Immortality and God. Prof. Compton stated some astound­ ing things, first of which he classed aa a new "principle of uncertainty," based on discoveries in light particles, which have made Professor Compton world famous. The Compton theory takes away the uniformity of the physi­ cal world, os taught by lhe older science, and leaves room for an effec­ tive Intelligence behind the phenomena of nature. The new physics, Professor Compton says, admits lhe possibility of mind acting on matter, and suggests that the thoughts of man are perhaps the most important things in this world. In other words, at the bottom of physical things there is on element of chance, an essential unpredictability which, translated into the human sphere, throws new light on the evo­ lutionary process and gives meaning to human life. The physicist has lit­ tle evidence to support the old evo­ lutionary theory. He cannot see the world of today and mankind develop­ ing at random out of a chaos of atoms. The evidence he finds strongly sug­ gests a directive intelligence, a purpose back of everything. And the goal which he finds reasonable Is the creation of Intelligent minds. It was Steinmetz who said, that "the most Important work for scientists during the next fifty years will be concerned with spiritual things.” Professor Compton savs. "Consider the action of a beam of X-rays on the air through which it passes. Each elec­ tron Is observed to proceed In a dif­ ferent direction from every other. The question arises, when the air is first exposed to the X-rays what direc­ tion will the first electron take? "To this we find that there is no defi। nite answer. We can only say that the 1 probability is that the first electron will be ejected tn a certain direction. This probability we*can determine accurately from the average of many observations, or we may calculate it on the basis of a suitably devised theory. But. the par­ ticular direction in which the first electron will go cannot be predicted. "The situation is similar to that of an unskillful bowler, trying to hit a ten pin with a ball. The pin cor­ responds to the electron and the ball to the X-ray, for X-rays are found to have the characteristics of particles when they act on electrons. A skillful player might strike the pin squarely and knock it straight ahead. The un­ skillful player may or may not hit the pin: and if he does hit it the exact direc­ tion In which it will go cannot be pre­ dicted. In other words, we mean to say that there is an essential Indeflnltcness about this event. What docs this mean In terihs of law of cause and effect? ‘•As far as the physicist knows lhe law of cause and effect does not apply in these cases. The result of tiie ex­ periment will not be the same twice in succession. The situation is the same for every so-called ‘elementary event.’ By an elementary event we mean lhe Inter-action between two of lhe ele­ mentary particles that make up the atom—protons and electrons and photons.—of which the world is built. Here is a group of well known physical phenomena, to which cause and effect, as usually understood, does not apply, for we may reproduce the cause but we do not reproduce the same effect. From this Professor Compton led the way to consideration of the de­ liberate action of living organisms. “It seems probable" he sold, "that tiie deliberate actions of living organ­ isms are events essentially Impossible for us to predict. There is strong evi­ dence that such non-physical- things as thought and motives are effective In determining the individual actions of men and of animals. In fact, most persons' consider their ability to de­ termine a course of action according to their motives to be an experimental fact. Those who deny such freedom of choice do so because that seems to conflict with the supposed uniformity of the physical world. Wc have Just seen, however, that modem physics shows that instead non-unlformity of action as the rule for a complex phys­ ical organism, such as man. which re­ TIME-FLIES! ]■ ■■in q r d r r at c i ■■■ o L II Jb Hi IN o 1 ---------------------TELEPHONE 2515 2K1K --------------------------------------------------------------------- TELEPHONE HASTINGS LUMBER & COAL CO.

MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE CO. moves thia ancient difficulty with free will.” "It is possible that such non-physical characteristics as the tliought processes of a man or animal may. in some way. be^ble to choose between their Various physically possible courses of action. Such a suggestion is consistent with known physical law. Ih other words there is room for an effective intelli­ gence.’ Professor Compton has no conclu­ sions. based on science, for the ques­ tion of Immortality. "Science." he sajrs. "does not supply a definite answer. It does say that, biologically speaking, Life whether it be an, apple seed or the germ cell of a man. is essentially con­ tinuous and eternal. In fact a certain freedom of choice may, it seems, be considered an experimental fact with which we must reconcile our theories. "If freedom of choice is admitted, it follows by the same line of reasoning that one's thoughts are not the result of molecular reactions obeying "fixed physical laws. For if they were, man's thoughts would be fixed by the physical conditions and hls choice would be Imode for him. Thus, if there is freedom. I there must be at least some thinking ' possible quite independently of any corresponding cerebral process. "On such a view It is no longer im­ possible that consciousness may per­ sist after the brain is destroyed. An ex­ amination of the evidence seems to support the view that there is no very close correspondence between brain ac­ tivity and consciousness. Il seems our thinking Is partially divorced from our brain—a conclusion which suggests, though of course does not prove, the possibility of consciousness after death. "The old fashioned evolutionary at­ titude was that the world as we know it developed as a result of chance, variations of all kinds occurring, some of which would be more suited to the conditions than others and therefore surviving. More recent thought has found this viewpoint Increasingly dif­ ficult to defend. To the physicist It has become clear that the chances are In­ finitesimal that a universe filled with atoms having random properties would develop into a world with the Infinite variety that we find about us. "This strongly suggests that the evo­ lutionary process is not a chance one. but Is directed towards some definite, end. If we suppose that evolution is directed, we Imply that there Is an in­ telligence which directs it. It thus be­ comes reasonable to suppose that in­ telligent minds may be the end to­ ward which such on Intelligent evolu­ tion is proceeding. "A survey of the physical universe indicates that mankind Is very pos­ sibly nature’s best achievement in this direction. Though astronomers tell us that there are millions of millions ot stars in the sky. a planet is a very rare occurrence and a planet on which life can exist is even more rare. "If in the world scheme conscious life is the thing of primary Importance, what is happening on our earth is thus of great cosmic significance, and the thoughts of man. which have come to control to so great an extent the de­ velopment of life upon this planet, are perhaps the most Important things. “On this view we might expect nature to preserve nt nil coats the living souls which it has evolved at such labor, which would mean lhe immortality of intelligent minds. While on the mech­ anistic view, the mind could not sur­ vive the brain, the evidence seems against that view, and no cogent rea­ son remains for supposing that the soul dies with the body. "We find strong reasons for believ­ ing. that, in spite of hls physical insignificance, man as an in­ telligent person, may be of extraordi­ nary importance in the cosmic scheme. If we were to use our own best Judg­ ment. what would we say Is the most important thing about a noble man? Would we not place first the beauty of hls character? It takes a whole lifetime to build tiie character of a noble man. "The adventures and disciplines of youth, the struggles, the foilures, the successes, the pains and pleasures of maturity, the loneliness and tranquility of age—these make up the fire through which he must pass to bring out the pure gold of hls soul. "Having been thus perfected, what shall nature do with him? Annihilate him? What Infinite waste!"

Long Distance* Rates Are Surprisingly Low ® East Lansing. June 4.—Spirea, of the Bridal Wreath type, should be pruned during the summer to increase its attractiveness after the flowering sea­ son is over, according to the horticul­ tural department at Michigan State College. The summer pruning should remove tiie smaller branches which have borne flowers and which have few leaves upon them. It will sometimes be necessary to remove a whole cane from the shrub, but, usually, only lhe ends of the branches need to be cut bock to a point where there are vigorous, leafy side shoots. Many of these flowering branches will have dead tips and their removal Improves the appearance of the plant. The pruning permits the younger wood to have a better chance to grow, and the bush will produce more flowers the year after pruning. No pruning of the plant during the winter or early spring will be required if the summer pruning of the flowering branches is practiced. PART — A Successful Future Is Within the Reach of Every Man, Woman or Child Who Can Acquire the Habit of Thrift and Economy i 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 fells 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 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. In the history of this Bank we have started many young men and young women on the road to Success by theiropening a bank account with us.

June 2.—Michigan farmers who wish to check up on their against the common barberry which hired hands’ ability to produce wheat, harbors and spreads the rust which attacks Michigan grain crops will be continued this summer in this State, according to F. B, Powers, state leader for barberry eradication. Michigan cut-over lands provide an ideal location for the barberry, and ' the detection of the seedlings and bushes in these areas requires the services of trained scouts, Mr. Powers states. Previous work in Michigan has resulted in the destruction of 4,501,372 barberry plants. Smail seedlings which have not de­ veloped an extensive root system are removed by digging, the state leader says, but large bushes are killed by applications of common salt. If the large bushes are dug up, there is danger that sprouts will grow from .roots which are not removed. Each barberry bush is tiie center of infection for the rust of grains. The rust lives over winter on the barberry and during favorable weather in the early summer the .rust spores mature on the barberry, arc released, an^ infeet any grain with which they come in contact. । Hot. damp weather favors the spread of the disease, and under favorable oats, and barley are Invited by the,. farm crops department at Michigan-I Slate College to visit the College Farm Jl I any day between June 20 and July 20' and inspect lhe experimental plots. Guides will be furnished by the de­ partment to explain the reasons for the various plantings and the methods used to test old varieties of grains and to produce new. improved strains. Three or four hours are necessary to examine all the different experiments. A complete trip around the plots makes a journey of 11 miles. Five acres of the plots are devoted to the testing of wheat varieties for yield and quality. The leading kinds from Ohio. Indiana, and Michigan are planted for comparison. The possibilities of mixed plantings of grains are also being tried out. Plantings of barley and oats, outs and peas, spring wheat and flax, and bar­ ley and flax have been made to find if such combinations will be profitable under Michigan conditions. A cross between a variety of oats resistant to smut and a variety resis­ tant to rust is growing on the plots. The cross was made in an attempt to produce a variety of oats which will be immune to both diseases. As the number of people who are familiar with the crops work at the College is small, the crops department at the College suggests that visitors come in small groups rather than in­ dividually. so guides can be furnished without seriously interfering with their regular work.

After a long struggle the city of Allegan is at last in a position to begin the construction of a municipal dam on the Kalamazoo river in that plac?. It is the purpose of the officials of Allegan to use the current generated by the dam for municipal lighting and to sell it commercially to factories and other power users. The city of Sturgis did this’ several years ago. wijen copstructlon coats were much less than' they are today. Sturgis built the dam on the St. Joseph river, several miles from that town, and used Die current to light the city, also to furnish power for manufacturing plants there. The Income derived from the sale of the current nearly pays all the municipal expenses of Sturgis and has enabled that city to do extensive paving on its public streets without bonding. 134 PRODUCING OIL WELLS IN MICHIGAN.

(H'JO) according to th* original plat of lhe Enjoy nature at its best this year. Drive on smooth, dustless roads. Live in dust-free, healthful comfort. See clearly breathe deeply of pure fresh air—forget that dust has ever marred your enjoyment of sunny summer weather. No matter how dusty your roads were last year—whether clouds of dust invaded your home—covered your foliage, flowers and lawns made life miserable gcnerally-you can help to end the dust nuisance this year. A white, flaky material called Dowflake Calcium Chloride con­ trols dust effectively. Dowflake, spread upon the road surface, absorbs moisture from the air—keeps roads moist and firm for long periods. One application lasts for weeks. Two appli cations a year will usually give complete freedom from dust. Aik your road officials for dust prevention with Dowflake— the clean material different from the smelly, sticky, trackv preparations sometimes used. Dowflake is clean, odorless and non-tracking. It melts itself into the surface soon after appli­ cation, leaving only the effect of a light summer rainfall. Your road officials know about Dowflake. Your request petition by you and your neighbors for dust prevention will in most cases receive favorable attention. End the dust nuisance now.

The automatic system Is not only quicker, but in every way more de­ sirable. With this In mind, we are sure read­ ers of the Banner In Hastings, a* well as tn every other dty where dial phones are In use. will marvel at the report which has come from Washington that that august body, known as the United States senate, “the greatest deliberative body on earth.'' has demanded that the telephone company In Washington re­ move the dial telephones and give to the members of that very conservative bunch the old-time phone*. which would require a-senator to call lhe op­ erator and the operator to call the per­ son wanted. Instead of dialing hls own phone. Could you beat that? • Tfie reason given for this astounding request is that “it requires th* senator to do lhe menial work of calling the person he wants by operating the dial ot bls phone Instead of ordering someone at the exchange to do it for him?"

The United States senate' Is the one place tn America where such back­ wardness could be expected. This Is the quality and vintage of a U.

They ought to be made to drive to WaaMhraon with oxteams; and some one ougb} to see to it that the oxen spilled them along the roadside so they would never get to the Capitol. The country would be better off If just that could happen. crops. No action has been taken on this petition as yet, but it seems quite likely that there may be. The request seems reasonable under the circum­ stances. There was no way of putting In the big ditch, and have it drain the swamp.-except to have a gradual fall to give it a good current. That, as we have explained, dropped the level of tiie water in the drain, in some in­ stances ten or more feel below the level of Oun marah. This has lowered the water level in the muck, which probably would hinder the growing of a successful crop in dry weather, while the putting in of temporary dams at different places down stream would undoubtedly moisten the muck and be a means of irrigating the lower part of the swamp, which seems to have suffered most because there the ditch is deepest. If this shall be done In Allegan county, where the most of the marsh Iles, it will propably be done to some extent in Orangeville' township, where there is a large acreage of Ulis valuable muck land. But It cannot be done without the consent ot the board of supervisors. Gun marsh has become one of tjie most productive onion districts in this country. I! placing temporary dams on the river will Increase the output of onions and maintain the high produc­ tion record of this onion district, then there would seem to be no reason why the request of the owners of the muck land for dams across the river to bene­ fit their crops ought not to be granted.

I frequenty left the table at meal time in order to be away from everyone and everything. I waa unable to tat and became terribly run down and was los­ ing weight rapidly. No matter what I tried nothing relieved me until I took Konjola. , "Before I took this medicine I was terribly constipated. I was listless, sleepy and unable to do my wohk prop­ erly. .This had been going on over a period of fifteen years. .1 have taken four bottles of Konjola and today my nerves are in much better shape. 1 have an exceUent appetite and am free from the misery- of constipation. I cannot say enough in praise of Konjola and 1 have all my friends taking It." When given a real trial over a period of from six to eight weeks, Konjola has made a record that would often ciialjenge belief were the actual fact not known and verified.

After a decided delay the annual meeting of the local C. T. A. was held in the court house, Monday. Apr. 28. At this meeting the officer* and direc­ tors for the year 1930 were elected, and problems of dairying, as they occur to­ day were discussed and threshed out to quite an unlimited degree. C. W. Nel­ son. a dairy extension specialist, from the State College, was expected to be present but something unforeseen hap­ pened. making it impossible for him to attend. The annual report of the As­ sociation was given. Prom the report it was learned that the average production per cow for ,1929 was 7,707 lbs. milk and 330.8 lbs. of fat. The high herd for milk and butterfat production Is one of 11 pure­ bred Holsteins. owned by Lloyd A. Gas­ kill of Dowling. These cows averaged 12,700 lbs. of milk and 4385 lbs. of fat. The cow* were fed almost entirely on home groan feeds, such as corn. oats, barley and alfalfa. Some milk maker was mixed with the home grown grains to balance the ration. Silage and hay were the chief roughages fed. The high cow in milk and Butterfat production is also a purebred Holstein vwned by Jesse Osgood and sons of Cloverdale. This cow was 5 years old and produced 14.751 lbs. of milk ?nd 569 lbs. of butterfat. Her average test for thrsyear was 4.04. She consumed four and one half tons of sllsge, one and one half ton* of alfalfa hay and two and one fourth ton* of grain. One would hardly think it possible for a cow to eat that much feed, disregarding any chance for her to produce enough butterfat to pay for IL She did It though and shows us 916538 clear of all the feed that she consumed. .

The Inter-State Commerce Com­ mission ordered tile rate reductions, following an avalanche qf complaint* from the traffic departments of the Detroit Board of Commerce, the Grand Rapids Metal Trades Association and other trade organizations in the state, following one of the commission's or­ ders in the Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation case in 1925. The metal trades attacked the equity of the rune system under which railroads were permitted to charge higher and discriminatory schedules on shipments originating in Michigan than from other territory. The Inter-State Commerce Com­ mission was supplied with evidence t bowing that Michigan as a whole used one-ninth of all the iron and steel pro­ ducts of the United States. In es­ tablishing the new rates, the commts'slon removed iron and steel products from the "zone" classifications and placed the schedule* on a mileage basis, thus putting Michigan manufacturers on an equal footing with their competi­ tors in adjoining states. An illustration of the benefits of the new rates will be shown by a few fig­ ures: Between Detroit and Grand Rap­ ids new rate 19 l-2c. old rate 23 l-2c; between Grand Rapids and Fort Wayne. Indiana, new rate IB l-2c. old rate 23 l-2c; between Grand Rapid, and Chicago, new rate 21 l-2c, old rate 25 1-lc; between Kalamazoo and De­ troit. new rate 19c. old rate 22c; be­ tween Kalamazoo and Chicago, new rate IB l-2c, old rate 22c; between Jackson and Detroit new rate 14c, old This readjustment is certain to shift iron and steel using organizations to points north of the Michigan line, where in former years they were forced to locate below that line. At the same time it strengthens the position of all steel industries In Michigan. The entire state of Michigan is bet­ ter off and looks forward to a brighter competitive future, because of this de­ cision made by the Inter-State Com­ merce Commission' As stated, there will be a direct saving of $3,000,000 on freight rates alone on iron and steel producing organizations in Michigan, which cannot fail to make this state much more desirable for metal-working factories.

Still re­ quiring his prisoner to keep his hands up after arriving at the Jail office, and ' still holding his revolver with one hand | against his prisoner, Shultx proceeded to search the darkey's pockets. It was some variety of plunder that he found. There were two pairs of shears, an old case knife, a nut pick, a wicked looking kitchen knife, any one of which he would have used with deadly effect if he had had any chance to do it. Tills time he had no opportunity. Be­ sides these there were a cake of soap, towel, some corn meal, sack of coffee and various other harmless articles that the night watchman took from his i pockets. Vaden would not have been allowed to have any of these articles al the prison—especially the knives and shears. It is probable therefore that he stole them somewhere after his escape. Still keeping his revolver against the negro's rib*, the officer un­ locked the cell door, marched hl* pris­ oner into an individual cell and left him securely locket! up. Soon after this the Sheriff arrived.; Vaden was brought out and was tdentlfled as the much wanted African. He declined to answer the Sheriff's ques­ tions. The Sheriff finally asked him: ■Who are you anyway?’’ and he an­ swered. "I am an angel from heaven," wiuch the Sheriff was not prepared to believe. Thereafter the prisoner shut up like a clam and refused to say an­ other word. About noon Monday Supt.

Gibeon of Battle reek before the Rotary Club hut week Monday noon, deserves far more con­ sideration than we were able then to give it. , Mr. Gibson spoke in opposition to the Dykstra bill, which was Introduced in the legislature in 1929, but failed to pass because Governor Green said.he would "veto it. The friends of the measure knew they could not pass it over the governor's veto. However, an Industrious semi-political organization, known as the Michigan Municipal League, threatens to renew tbe Dyk­ stra bill in the next legislature. There­ fore Mr. Olbaon felt thal it was per­ tinent to discuss it, because counties like Barry are so vitally Interested in having the bill defeated. While you would not ot expect much much humor in discussing a subject ~ like thia one. Mr. Gibson's Irish wit flashed out, in faiany instances, convulsing his hearers with his drollery. This helped to put across his message the better. Briefly the Dykstra bill proposes to take half the funds now available for construction work by the Stale High­ way Department and divide the half equally between the cities of the state, which would be privileged to use the money for paving, and the rural dis­ tricts for township roads. But -when the matter is analyzed closely It is found that the cltlea of Detroit. Grand Rapids. Flint. Saginaw, Lansing. Jack­ son. ’Kalamazoo, Bay City and Battle Creek will be the cities to get most all the benefit The populous wealthy townships, especially those located close to big cities, would get most of the benefit of the distribution of the fund proposed for townships in the Dykstra bill; because the plan Is to divide in proportion to the amount of license tax money paid into the state from cities and townships. Thus it could be seen that the villages and smaller cities, which greatly need paving, would get vfcry little and the sparsely settled townships, which need roadwork, would get almost none, because they have so few automobiles that woulr. contribute to the tax money to be divided. Mr. Gibson gave convincing reasons why the Dykstra bill ought never to pass. At the present time there Is be­ ing paid into the Highway Department from the gas tax, automobile lleenses and other sources in the neighborhood of $45,000,000. Of this amount the state pays to the counties, to assist in maintaining county road systems. $8.­ 000,000. It pays yearly a good sized sum on the principal and interest of the $50,000,000 paving bonds sold some time ago. Out of this $45,000,000 the state also has to pay the cost of main­ taining 7.800 miles of frunk line high­ ways. which Is a big item. Out of this the state also pays, in round figures, about $2,000,000 to the cities of Michi­ gan. at the rate of $2,000 a mile per year, for the maintenance of paving laid by cities but used as parts of trunk lines. Out of this also must be paid the expenses of administration of the Highway Department with Its staff of engineers, right-of-way men, over­ seers looking after contracts that have been let, clerks in the Lansing offices. etc. When all these items have been graveling and paving, trunk linos II.deducted it will leave the state of 962,947.00 Michigan about $20,000,000. with which Barry county has no need to be to sarry on construction work on the ashamed of that situation.

S. 0. and New York Centra) Planning for Demonitration in Barry County Paul Miller, of the Farm Crops De­ partment of the Michigan State college, and O. B. Price, Agricultural Agent, of the New York Central lines, were here during the past week to make plans for a demonstration on the con­ trol of weeds by the use of chemicals. Tiie demonstration will be useful for the fanners of thi* vicinity. When the weed control train shall come here, the last of July, every farmer and every person interested in the. control of weed* should come to the Michigan Central depot and gel Information that will be helpful to them. This is the second time within two years that the Michigan State college and the New York Central lines have united their effort* to aid the farmers cf Michigan In a campaign to reduce losses from weed*, which are estimated to be costbig Michigan farmers over $25,000,000 annually, through tower yields and poorer quality of crops.,labor costs and depreciation of land val­ ues. This joint campaign will consist of a weed control demonstration train, to be operated over the Michigan Cen­ tral railroad lines through fourteen counties in central and eastern Michigan. At each stop of the train, farmers will be asked to bring in weeds for Identification and will be told what methods to use for their control. Blank forms will be filled out and handed each farmer, giving the name of the weed, .telling whether it Is an annual, a biennial, or a perennial, and what cul­ tural methods should be followed for Its eradication. In addition, chemical methods will be presented and recommendations made by representatives of the Fann Crop* Department of the Michigan Stale col­ lege, which have been tested by the college and shown to work well on the college farm at East Lansing. This train 1* similar to the one that was operated through southern Michigan last year over the New York Central railroad—which used to be knoifn as the Lake Shore and Michigan South­ ern. On that tour 500 weeds were iden­ tified and 121 species of weeds were found. The train will operate during the two weeks beginning July 14 and stops will be made in the counties of Ingham, Shiawassee, Saginaw. Bay. Tuscola. Sanilac, Lapeer. Oakland, Washtenaw, Jackson. Calhoun, Eaton. Barry and Kent. Further announcement giving the train stops in Barry county will be made later. B1CMJRE1TE SERVICE SUNDAY (Continued from page one.) useful life." said Rev. Sharpe, was narrow In the liberal sense word. He gave his life to a cause and kept it In that channel. Because it wa* narrow and deep It was strong and ef­ fective. Rev. Sharpe advised tiie member* of the class to be narrow In the expendi­ ture of energy. Most folks, he • de­ clared. have too many irons in the fire —some good, most not so good. Real success depends on concentration. It 1* beat to do well what one.does. In the doing of it, one must have in mind that there are others and keep that fact In mind. It Is common In these days to hold up "Puritanism" as nar­ row; but when one reads of the condi­ tion* that existed in England under Charles—the low ebb of morals and re­ ligion—one can realise that it needed folks who would and did concentrate upon clean, pure living to save Eng­ land from frightful degeneracy. While the Puritans were undoubtedly narrow In some of tlielr views, yet focusing their energy and power, with the help of God. upon clean, useful and success­ ful living they proved the value of such concentration. "It is time we have a new type of Puritanism," said Rev. Sharjie—"a Puritanism friendly to real an; a Puritanism that will not frown on pleasures but purify them; not de­ nouncing all dancing, for Instance, but putting the ban on impure forms of dancing; a Puritanism that will not taboo the theater, but will denounce and oppose plays that befoul life." His advice to the members of the class of 1930 was to play the game of life fairly—be real sportsmen; to dis­ cipline themselves in a way that will not rob life of its joys, but will take out of life those things that make the character weak and flabby. We are sure that all who heard Rev. Sharpe were Impressed with the truth he spoke and hl* sincerity in stating it. The program was closed with the benediction by Rev. B. J. Adcock. Farm timber cut In late spring and summer should be handled wldi par­ ticular care, as at these seasons insects and fungi are more likely to attack freshly cut wood. Wood also seasons more rapidly in warm weather and may check excessively. Never let the wood lie in direct contact with the ground, say* the U. 8. Forest Service. Insect attack and decay are less likely If ths timber is peeled and "open piled" off the ground in a shady, dry place. Painting the ends of logs wtth yellow ochre or barn paint retards In­ jury from end checking. Treating peeled timber with creosote prevents sap stain and decay. New York publishers have slashed the price of the modem two dollar novel fifty per cent. But a great many of them will still be selling for fifty per cent more than they are worth. . A successful business man is as sen­ sitive to the voice of hi* customers as a politician Is to the voters. . A LACK OF THRIFT EXACTS HEAVY TOLL Within recent weeks millions of dol­ lars in property has been destroyed the beginning of the summer. An the season progresses, there will be, un­ fortunately. a repetition of these con­ flagration* in various ytxrta of the United Stale*. Forest fire* are bad not only be­ cause they destroy timber but because they denude land which Immediatey begins to deteriorate in value. The United States can ill afford to toee any of its forest* and it is particularly un­ fortunate that these looses occur largely through sheer negligence. Most forest fires, it lias been said, are due to carelessncss in throwing away lighted matches, cigar or cigarette butt* or through the careless handling of fire by camper*. America is paying all too heavily for the vice of carelessness. Moat as­ suredly we need to earn lessons tn thrift along these lines. An insurance company which re­ cently made a study of accidents in homes found that they total 3.000.000 per year of which 17.000 result in death*. There I* a property loss of close to $500,000,000 yearly due to pre­ ventable fires. More than 2.500,000 worker* are injured in industry each year which includes thousands of fa­ talities and thousands of permanent injuries. The elimination of this tremendous waste of life, limb and property must rest almost entirely with the Individual. The installation of safety devices and the enactment of laws and regulations can only partly solve the problem. In­ dividuals must learn more and more the advantage and value of being care­ ful in everything—of not taking chan­ ces—of keeping their wits about them at all times—of cultivating constant habits of watchfulness. To do tills is a splendid example of thrift.—By 8. W. Straus.

The only disadvantage of pasteurising is thal it slightly reduces the number of Vitamin C found in milk; but it is easy to supply any lack from thal source, because this vitamin is not ndmerous in milk but is found plenti­ fully in oranges, lettuce and tomatoes. Children are now fed orange Juice and tomato juice and. after the teeth have have formed, can eat lettuce, all of which furnish a -plentiful supply at Vitamin C. In fact dietitians recom­ mend. even with children who drink plentifully of milk, that they also take orange Juice or tomato Juice that they may get enough of Vitamin C. Dr. DeKrulf concludes his article by a quotation from Dr. John A. Mohler. Chief of the Bureau of Animal Hus­ bandry of the United States Department of Agriculture, who says: "Infectious abortion Is so widespread and the milk of so many animals is In­ fected that the main defense for pro­ tection against whatever danger there may be from the abortion bacillus in milk must be placed In pasteurisation which, if properly done, will make the milk safe, until dairymen can eradicate the disease from their herds.” WILL TRY NEW GRASS FOR MICHIGAN FARMS Reed Canary Variety Appears to Have Promise for Use on Lowlands East Lansing, June 10—Reed Canary grass, a native "plant which recently ,has shown promise of being adapted for use on Michigan lowlands for pasture or meadows, will be tested on the Col­ lege experimental farms at Lake City and Augusta. ■ The grass Lt strong stemmed peren­ nial which grows to a height of from two to eight feet It is leafy and nutri­ tious and is well liked by animals. Flooding of the plant on marsh lands does not injure it. and winter flooding appears to have a beneficial effect upon Reed Canary Grass. > The grass forms a close dense sod when it becomes well established. The sod will bear the weight of animals and tractors on soils which were too boggy to be grazed or worked before the sod formed. Present prices of Reed Canary Grass seed are so high that tt Is recommen­ ded by the College farm crops depart­ ment that Michigan farmers wtio wish to try this crop plant the seed at the rate ot two to four pounds an acre. The seed can be drilled In rows 14 to 30 inches apart. The grass will gradually fill tiie spaces between the rows. Seed can be saved from the grps> on this planting to sow additional areM. The usual time for seeding Is in the spring, but fall sowing is possible, espedally on burned-over ground. The seed germinates slowly, from three to five weeks, so fall seedings should be mode early enough to jiermli consid­ erable growth before the heavy fall rains. herdsUeed grain MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE CO.

Sanitation in the poultry ranges and houses, country homes before running water was known, is the essential and only successful method tor the pre- vention of poultry diseases which cut heavily into poultry profits and which are more expensive to cure than to avert, say the specialists. Water is indispensable in cleaning, whitewashing and disinfecting and its' availability will to a great extent determine the quantity and extent of its' use. according to the research depart-1 ment of the National Association of । Farm Equipment Manufacturers. Clean range and sun parlors for baby chicks and growing pigs are of no avail unless the brooder and pig houses are kept dean to a hospital-like degree.

June 10—The dairy­ man who expects his cows to return profitable quantities of milk and but­ terfat on pasture alone will be disap­ pointed in the amount of money 'ob­ tained from the products of his herd, according to a statement by the dairy department at Michigan State College Good pasture Will furnish only enough food to permit a good cow to .manufacture 20 pounds of 4 per cent milk a day. Any additional milk pro­ duced by the cow ls made from food reserves stored in her body, and con­ tinued high production will reduce her body weight and may impair her health. A balanced grain ration fed at ths rate of one pound to each four pounds of milk produced by the cow will main­ tain the milk flow and the body weight of the animal. Early pasture is very stimulating to the cow's milk production, but this production will not be kept up unless grain is fed. The cow wgl gradually decrease the amount of milk given, and It is difficult to bring the cow back Into production later in the year when the pastures are dried up.

Although the hogs do not care for complicated rations, they do repay their owner for furnishing them with tank­ age to supplement grain when they are running on rape pasture. Tiie spring pigs which were fattened in this year's trials made more rapid and less costly gains when fed tankage than the ones which did not receive the ex­ tra food. The College feeding trials answer many questions for the Michigan own­ ers of beef cattle, sheep and hogs, and Feeders Day al Michigan State College is arranged to give farmers a chance to see the animals which have been fed. Dairymen will be told how much cot­ tonseed meal has been safely fed to calves and dairy cattle. Members of the animal husbandry and the dairy husbandry departments of the College will tell how the various lots of animals were fed. and each visitor will be supplied with a summary which lists the costs and results ot the various rations tested this year.

Serving Many Businesses Experience of large fleet owners reveals the unusual reliability and economy of the new Ford the new Ford i» found In its increas­ ing use by Federal, state and city gov­ ernments and by large industrial com­ panies which keep careful day-by-day cost records. In most instances, the Ford has been chosen only after exhaustive tests of every factor that contributes to good performance—speed, power, safety, com­ fort, low cost of operation and up-keep, reliability and long life. Prominent among the companies using the Ford are the Associated Companies of the Bell System, Armour and Com­ pany, The Borden Company, Continental Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, General Electric Com­ pany, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com­ pany, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker Ice Company, Morton Salt Company, Pillsbury Flour Mills Company, The Procter and Gamble Company, and Swift & Company. Each of these companies uses a largo number of Ford cars and trucks. Thc Associated Companies of thc Bell System use more than eight thousand. Modem business moves at a fast pace nnd it needs the Ford. Daily, in count­ less ways and places, it helps to speed the production and delivery of the world's goods and extend the useful scrvice of men and companies. Constant, steady operation over many thousands of miles emphasizes the ad­ vantages of the sound design of the Ford car, its high quality of materials, and .I|....1I ............................................ ........... TT-rr» .11.1 unusual accuracy in manufacturing. Beneath its graceful lines and beautiful colors there is a high degree of me­ chanical excellence. An example of the value built into the Ford is the use of more than twenty baH and roller bearings. They are hidden within the car and you may never see them. Yet they plAy an important part in satisfactory, economical performance. Their function is similar to thc jewels of a fine watch. Throughout the Ford chassis, a ball or roller bearing is used al every place where it is needed to reduce friction nnd wear ami give smooth, reliable me­ chanical operation. At many points, ns on the transmission counter-shaft, clutch release, fan and pump shaft, nnd front drive shaft, these ball and roller bearings are used where less costly types of bearings might bo considered adequate. Additional instances of the high quality built into thc Ford arc the cxteusivc use of steel forgings, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, Rustics* Steel, four Houdaille double-acting hy­ draulic shock absorbers, aluminum pis­ tons, chrome silicon alloy valves, torque-lube drive, three-quarter floating rear axle, and thc Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield. The Ford policy has always been to use thc best possible material for each part and then, through large produc­ tion, give it to thc public at low cost.

"I had tried so many medicines with­ out benefit that I hesitated when KonJola was recommended. Almost from the beginning of the treatment with thia new medicine life took on a dif­ ferent aspect for me. One by one the mvnnr of my body became normal. Back pains vanished and my kidneys functioned as they should. Mv liver was no longer torpid nnd sluggish and I was free from headaches and bilious attacks. I am in better health today than I have been since childhood." Konjola is designed to give thorough and lasting relief. Like any worth­ while treatment It should be taken over a period of from six to eight weeks in most cases. Results after such a treat­ ment will amaze you, as they have countless thousands of men and wom­ en.

Karr's car which was going north­ ward. As a result of it Bronson was quite seriously injured, having to spend several days in Pennock hospital. He did not recover from the effects of the accident for a long time. The defendant. Yarger. contended that he was not liable on the ground that Act IB, of the Public Acta of 1B29. says that “No person transported by the owner or operator of a motor vehicle as his guest without payment for such transportation, has a cause of action for damages against such owner or op­ erator for injury or Injuries resulting from such accident, unless such acci­ dent shall have been caused by the gross negligence or the misconduct of the owner or operator, and unless such negligence contributed to the accident.’’ Bronson claimed That Yarger sud­ denly turned his car to the left In front of the Karr automobile. Yarger admitted that he became confused when the other automobile came in sight close to him. ’ At the close of the plaintiff's proofs, motions were "made by the attorneys for the two defendants that the Judge direct a verdict In favor of such de­ fendant, Judge McPeek took these motions under consideration.

IORIEINM.CUISS NIGHT EXERCISES till (Continued Iron page ono.) This picture shows where we keep the cows at the Highlands Dairy—in a clean stable, with the cows kept, clean and well cared for. This stable Is ceiled, the interior painted, and the air kept fresh at all times with an automatic electric venti­ lating system. We Invite you to come and see how the milk is handled from the milking of the cows until the bottled prod­ uct Is delivered to you. Milk Is Nature’s Best Food! Your child has a better chance to grow up healthy and become successful if he . gets the right amount of MILK, THE PERFECT FOOD, each day. Dr. Sherman, of Columbia University, says that “Every Child Should Have a Quart a Day, Every Adult a Pint, in some way, either to drink it or get it in cooked foods, such as soups, custards, sauces or desserts.” Good, clean milk from healthy cows, made safe by Pasteurization, is the best milk there is— Look for the Word “PASTEURIZED” ON YOUR BOTTLE CAR, TODAY! Highlands Grade A Pasteurized milk —Comes from clean, healthy cows that are reg­ ularly tested for Tuberculosis and Contagious Abortion. It is produced on our own farm and in one of the cleanest and best equipped barns in the state. From the time the milk is drawn from the cows until it is delivered at your door it is kept and handled under strictly sanitary conditions. No effort is spared to keep all dirt and germs and infection from coming in contact with the milk. All milking utensils are thoroughly washed, scalded and steamed immediately after using. Every milk bottle is washed, rinsed and sterilized with live steam in our automatic power washer. When cool they are placed in our re­ frigerator and kept until filled. In addition to these precautions the milk is Pasteurized in order to destroy any hurtful germ that might be in the milk befpre it is taken from the cow. Our latest bacteria count of less than 3,000 per cubic centimeter is evidence that our ef­ forts are giving the desired results. State regula­ tions permit a bacteria count of 10,000 in Grade A Milk. Ours is less than 3,000. Highlands Dairy Pasteurized Grade A Milk, 7 cents a pint, 12%c a quprt.

Ac­ cordingly Miss Lois Lee and Miss Mil­ dred Malcolm sang a duet.'The Old Re­ frain," accompanied by Miss Kathryn Smith on the piano. It seemed fitting to the patient that some statement of the accomplish­ ments of the class be made, so a class I history was read, prepared by Miss Ethel Ragle and Foster Benjamcn. The poetic longing of the patient was expressed fittingly in a poem given by Alvin Barker. It seemed evident that the patient j was growing weaker, but still he wantH In । aed to hnvn have nnnnln people Irnnw know that that ertma some future goed or ill was to befall the members of Ute class. Accordingly Carlton Kaechele gave the class proph­ ecy. which had been prepared by Miss Pauline Wade. Miss Illa Shelenberger, Miss Margaret Harrington and himself. It was an unusual and very original prophesy. The patient still clamored for music, and Miss Elvlre GanguiUet accom­ panied by Miss Kathryn Smith sang very sweetly, "When Song Is Sweet.” Very clamorously now the patient demanded that hls will be read, so Miss Katharine Giddings read the will, which had been prepared by Miss Katherine McBain and herself. There were some very original bequests. The patient was now in a very weak­ ened condition, gasping for breath, so It seemed fitting that the valedictory be given, as It was. by Mr. Wayne Nichols. It was a fine, straight-forward farewell talk. Tlie benediction was pronounced by Rev. LeRoy L. Dewey, and so passed out from the High school the class of 1930. It is a fine class of young people and surely ought to make a good record tn life. QUIMBY. Wallace Bidelman of Detroit came Sunday to spend hls vacation with hls grandparents.

Practically every major problem has bred a multitude of disputes and dis­ agreements. Therefore, the fact that the Ameri­ can press is overwhelmingly in favor of strict oil conservation Is interesting as proof that practical action to effect this is vital to our progress and to the well-being of future generations. In tlie words.of the Lowell. Massachusetjs. Courier Citizen, “It would be a public benefaction if lhe sinking of oil wells were restricted to the point which our needs dictate, and the earth be continued os the storage reservoir for that which we do not immediately need." Conservation, of course, would bene­ fit the oil industry. But that is of secondary importance. Tlie main thing is that petroleum Is twentieth-century gold. Tlie country which possesses It automatically becomes an industrial world-leader. We have been singularly blessed in the magnitude of our petroleum re­ sources. But that is no excuse for wasting them. Overproduction is an economic crime and a menace to pro­ gress. Not for the Industry's sake, or the sake of the present generation, but for the sake of the America of tomorrow oil conservation which eliminates waste, must be achieved. A PROGRESSIVE POLICY. Press reports indicate that the Cali­ fornia Railroad Commission Is against any new crossings over railroad tracks not absolutely necessary for public con­ venience. The Commission is earnestly under­ taking to eliminate the cause of grade crossing accidents and realizes that the first essential is to stop creating new grade crossings. Then with education of the public in safe driving, changing the more densely traveled crossings and requiring installation of approved warn­ ing devices, the primary causes of ac­ cidents will be brought under control. Tills appears to be a wise course, for if. 05 has been tlie case, three new crossings are created for one changed, conditions are being made worse rather than better. Grade changes are costly and should only be made when all other remedies fall. . Unsafe driving causes many more accidents on the streets and highwaya than at grade crossings and If educated to drive safely over railroad crossings, drivers are more likely to acquire ar follow tills practice of driving safely everywhere. There should be no compromise with careless driving. It Is wrong to tax the people for grade changes because of a few thoughtless or careless drivors.

WHAT IB A FRIEND? It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked with him. He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to be better or worse. When you are with him you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, ao long as it is genuinely you. He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to mis­ judge you. With him you breathe free. You can take off your coat and loosen your collar. You can avow your vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meanness and absurdities, and In opening them up to turn they ore lost, dissolved on the white ocean of hls loyalty. He understands and you do not have to fee careful. Best of all. you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you. He is like fire that purges all you do. He Is like wine that warms you to the bone. He understands, he understands. You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin with him. pray with him. Through and underneath it all he sees, knows and loves you. • A friend is one with whom you dare to be yourself.—From the Michigan Tradesman. WHAT ELECTRICITY HAS DONE. Increased wages and living standards are the direct result of increased in­ dustrial production which. In turn, is the result of application of power to work that was once done by hand or with clumsy, comparatively Inefficient and dangerous machines. Today the homes of persons of mod­ est means have comforts and labor­ saving devices powered by electricity, that were undreamed of 30 years ago. And with tiie extension of power to rural areas the farm la receiving the benefits of the same high standards of service that have revolutionized in­ dustrial and social life In lhe cities. Flexibility and economy are the key­ notes of modern electric service. Il can be applied, with equal efficiency, to a great factory or a two-room apart­ ment.

If the sten­ ographer's record of Mr. Smiths testi­ mony stated that Smith did not and could not sec the car until he was within thirty feet of it. he would be, under the law. guilty of contributory negligence and could not recover. The question was, therefore, as to what he had actually testified. The Judge said he would look it up and govern himself accordingly as to directing a verdict; but in the meantime he would permit the case to go to the Jury until he could look it up. Both sides of the case were there­ fore presented to the Jury, tiie plaln’ tiff's case being substantially as we have given it.

He was bom on the farm which borders his property on the north, and resided there and at present location all his life. In hls early childhood days Ire was left to the care of his mother, as the Civil war had called his father's services. He gathered from these years of toil and hardship a sound and hardy constitution, good health, and an edu­ cation from tlie country schools. • Through this discipline for honesty, truthfulness and upright living he has gone through a successful farming life, which was all spent on the present lo­ cation.

Nobles Jewelers Michigan Hastings TV In a letter to Mr*. Russell R. McPeek, Mlw Marguerite Hetmaxupergtr, who Is conducting a school for American children In Antwerp. Belgium, and who •Is well known In Hastings, tells of a Memorial service in the American cemetery at Waereghem in Belgium that we believe will be of Interest to her many friends in this city and county. Inclosed in the letter was a program for the Memorial day servlc'! in the Waereghem cemetery near Ghent. At tiui service, whicn was held at 3:30 P. M- General Perming and the Amer­ ican Ambassador to Belgium, Ambas­ sador Gibson, were present. On tho program was an address by the Burgo­ master and an address by the Curate. MIm Marguerite writes os follows con­ cerning that event: "Today I drove with the Zdunle* to Waereghem. a little Flemish village, beyond Ghent, in "Flanders Field.-' where we have an American cemetery. A dispel has just been completed and it is beautiful. The occasion was the Memorial service on June 1 for our soldier dead. General Pershing ,-pnke. and almost the whole American colony from Antwerp were present. It was most impressive. We sat on little chairs In front of the lovely while granite monument, among the “white crosses standing .row on row." There were lovely, huge wreath* left here by American clubs, etc.—eight in all. "The procession consisted of a fine band, priests. Gold Star American mothers, eight of them, Belgian Gold Star mothers, the Burgomaster and a boys' school. The boys were about ten years of age and were on the program to sing. It really was the sweetest and mart touching thing Imaginable to hear them in their broken English sing the first verse of The Star Spangled Banner, after their own national an­ them. Pershing spoke briefly and firm­ ly. He looked a military man every inch, but old. The townspeople stood all around the Americans, who had seats; and I heard one say in a sor­ rowful voice Oh he Is speaking American"—this in Flemish. The grounds were beautiful. Beside each cross was a Belgian and American flag. They looked grand too. Many unknown soldiers were buried here and each has the inscription on the cross "Here Iles in honored glory on American soldier, unknown but to God.” That was touching in ths extreme. Ths memories of tho** days are certainly sad. Wo all felt that, could our American people soy how beautifully these places are kept up and the reverence which is Shown them by townspeople and *U. they would never have lhe bodies re­ moved to America. “I saw two Michigan names on the croues—-Walter Lang, 37th Division. 147th Infantry and John Novak. 27th Division. A very sad realisation was the fact that most of these died during the week of the signing of the Armistice. That seems so hard and unnecessary. I understand that the caretakers of these American cemeteries in Euro[>e arc all veterans." The invitation which Miss Margue­ rite enclosed had an American red, white and blue border and. across one corner, the black stripe of mourning. The invitation to the Americans liv­ ing in Belgium to participate in these services had these paragraphs: "These were our own countrymen, who gave their glorious youth: this is our own consecrated American soil within those four walls out there In the peaceful countryside of Flaitden; th|s was our esteemed Commander-lnDhlef who led u* to victory but eleven and a half years ago; this is our hon­ ored representative at the Belgian Court today.

There are a great many substantial business men in America today who could tell you Interesting stories about how they spent their early yean in the accumulation of a few dollars. Had they continued all their lives to save only the small amounts they were able to lay by at first, they never would have become well-to-do-men. Buttheir email savings and the discipline which was necessary to build up these sums, pul them in a position to earn more money and occupy more important positions as the years went by. ' "I don’t think I could live tang enough ever to be rich at the rate I would be able to save money." Tills sentence in a letter received recently Is typical of the viewpoint of many who lack the patience to build up their personal resources through the painstaking methods of thrift. Now and then someone does strike It rich, so to speak, but where one person may gain sudden wealth, a million others, trying the same thing, may lose tjielr last penny. Look up the histories of moat of tlie large fortunes in America and you will find that the vast majority were started with small sums of money and grew to fabulous accumulations of wealth through the normal processes of sound business and investment. The possession even of a small sum of money was necessary before the larger amounts could be built up. It is always to be remembered that one of the great elements In thrift is patience. It is hard for an ambitious, vigorous person to exercise this rare quality. The temptation always is strong with such persons to take chan­ ces and plunge. But patient saving and the slow, steady accumulation of funds will win out in the long run. The great book of human experience is eloquent in its assertions of this fact.— By S. W. Straus. HASTINGS ITEMS, THIRTY YEARS The large iiom played by James Crawford was the admiration of all musicians at the band meet yesterday at Portland. Many declared it was the finest they had ever seen and all had to take a try at blowing it. Rubber tired vehicles are becoming Lowry has recently purchased a very handsome two sealed carriage with rubber tired wheels, which with Pontiac chief attached makes an extremely stylish outfit. N.

Ames. Iowa, has discovered a new weed killer, which will kill quack grass, wild morning glory ind other noxious weeds without making the ground where they have been destroyed useless for crops planted Immediately thereafter. This dlsccovery has been announced by E. M. Summen. plant pathologist of Iowa State College. Mr. Burners has been developing- his experiments for the benefit of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul railroad. The formula of the new weed eradlcator cannot be given until the railroad has secured patent rights on the product. The new weed killer is said to be not hurtful to the soil and Is comparative­ ly easy to apply. Experiments have been carried on by tho railroad on its own right-of-way. also by many county agents in Iowa, who have applied the chemical to weed patches. The new product is not quite as effective as sodium chloride in kill­ ing deep rooted weeds, such as Canada thistles, because it does not penetrate the roots ns quickly; but ft will pene­ trate with more applications. Bail­ roads are especially Interested in this chemical as a means of exterminating weeds along their right-of-way. High­ way officials will be interested for the same reason. Farmers who wish to keep their land clean ot noxious weeds will be glad to have a chance with this new weed destoyer. Wheat, oats and barley have been grown on ground Immediately after it was sprayed with lhe new chemical, which shows that it will have no bad effects if its use on farm land shall be­ come general.. UNFAIR TAXATION OF REAL ESTATE The taxation quesUon, which, because of alleged unfair taxes on real estate, has become increasingly vexatious dur­ ing the Iasi few years, will probably be strongly emphasized In the con­ vention program of the United States Building and Loan league, which or­ ganization is to meet in Grand Rapids July 29. -30 and 31. The league is making a study of the question, and has already issued a preliminary’ re­ port. . Tne report points out that tiie gen­ eral property tax. while suitable in the days when farming was the principal occupation, is antiquated and places an unjust burden on the owners of real property. Upward of 70 per cent of the taxes are paid by owners of tan­ gible property, while owners of Intan­ gibles, chiefly securities, escape by not listing their property, It is said. Tlie special assessment evil also strikes a blow at the property owner, it is pointed out, assessment by bene­ fit pyramiding hls number of distinct taxes up to five or six and improve­ ments, on which he is taxed, at times being four or five miles from his pro­ perty. These taxes often strike like lighting and disrupts carefully-planned budgets, it declares. The tax collection plan Is also lilt in the report, it being said that monthly collection on the same basis as is fol­ lowed by private business is more mod­ ern and less burdensome to the pro­ perty owner than semi-annual collec­ tions. Collections at Christmas time and during vacation period, as at pre­ sent. often causes hardship it Is pointed Out, > D. G. T. O. CLUB. The D. O. T.

Every year since that time it has been increasingly true that more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind. I Today this preferenccrfgr Good­ years runs into millidttSr millions more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind. More Goodyear Tires than any other kind annually leave motor car factories on new cars—more Goodyear Tires go into service through the great Goodyear dealer organization — more Goodyear Tires are used by transcontinental, urban and interurban buses. There can be only one conclu­ sion: Goodyear Tires must be better —and at present prices they are a matchless bargain. Now is the time to get yours. IN NAME RUBBER CONSUMERS POWER CO.

Friendliness, healthful living, quietall these make country life satisfying, but tlie Wutaon family in Monongalia county. West Virginia, decided that these were not enough. They wanted running water, electric lights, and a furnace. As the research department of the National Association of Farm Equip­ ment Manufacturers relate* it, the story of their water system starts at the spring up above the house on a typical West Virginia hillside. Water is piped from here to the house, and a tank which connects with the heat­ ing system provides hot water as well as cool drinking water fresh from lhe spring. A shower bath, and Indoor toilet temporarily complete the water system but a complete bathroom i» next in line. An electric light plant suppica power for the home and lights for the poultry iiouse. thus completing the aids which this family feel arc practical. If not indispensable to their happiness.

June 16— Michigan cherry growers who lire north ot the t^wo southern tiers of counties are warned by the entomology department nt Michigan State College to be pre­ pared to spray their orchards for the control of the cherry fruit fly. which causes severe damage to unsprayed cherries. ' The eflecttvenesa of the spray de­ pends almost entirely upon the time­ liness of its application. The spray must be used after the adipt flies emerge and before they lay their eggs upon the fruit.. Observation cages are maintained in several pllces In the State to enable the entomology department to determine the exact time that flies attain the adult stage and are ready to lay eggs. As soon as this date is determined, warn­ ings are broadcast to apply the spray before a certain day. County agricul­ tural agents get these warnings directly from the entomology department. The spray recommended for use on sour cherries which are to be washed or scrubbed before being used for food is two and one-half pounds of powder­ ed arsenate of lead In 100 gallons of water to which the grower may add lime-sulphur If he wishes. Two and one-half gallons of lime sulphur In 100 gallons of water should be used for sour j cherries which will not be washed. Onej half gallon less of lime-sulphur per 100 1 gallons of water should be used for sweet cherries. No arsenate of lead should be Used In any spray for cher­ ries which will not be washed before they are eaten. 29 x 4.40 AQ * M Gold Bond Super- Tire ...

If Protection for Pigs on Fat­ tening Ration East Lansing. June 16—That fatten­ ing hogs do not need expensive typfet of houses, and that skim milk is one of the best supplements for the grain ra­ tion given to fattening hogs were two of the facts proved by the feeding ex­ periments which were reported on at Feeders Day. June 12, at Michigan State College. The trials compared the rates and costs of gains made by hogs which were separated into tax) similar lota one of which wax housed and fed in a central hog house and the other housed in a I>ortablc cot and fed and watered out of doors. The pigs fed out of doors gained faster and made cheaper gains than those housed and fed in the central house.

Ketcham Gave Timely Address Before Lions at Monday Meeting Hon. A>hn C. Ketcham addressed the Lions Chib at the Monday lunch­ eon. and told some very Instructive and interesting things about what oar National Congress has done and is doing. Also spoke of some state issues. Mr. Ketoham says that the beet thing about the new tariff is the flexible pro­ vision, because in so large a body as Congress, it would be Impossible to get the tariff rates just right and please everybody, so under the flexible pro­ vision the tariff commission, after a careful study of the conditions at home and abroad in regard to cods ot pro­ duction, may recommend an increase or decrease of fifty per cent on any commodity. This Is, to be figured from the new tariff rates adopted by Con­ gress. The President can then either accept or reject thetr recommendation The advantage of this is that when it is left up to Congress instead of the President, that Congress is so cumber­ some a body, that it is difficult to get needed changes through in any rea­ sonable length of time. Mr. Ketcham spoke abb of a new state proposition which all ahodld study well, and that was in regard to reapportionment of our state senators and state represen­ tatives in the state legislature. If this proixvsition carries In accordance with the recent activities In Detroit and other large cities of the state, the reupportionment of our state senators and representatives will in both in­ stances be according to population In­ stead of area. Such reapporttonment would certainly throw the control of the state legislature Immediately into the hands of the urban centers of pop­ ulation. It will thus be readily seen Just what effect thb would have on the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, and also upon the very troublesome question of local taxation.

The tips of diseased leaves first turn brown and then this portion of the leaf has a water-soaked appearance. This area dries out and becomes black but continued bleaching in the sun may change the color to grayish brown or white. The infected portion of the leaf is usually fan-shaped, with the small end of the fan at the mid-rib and the large end at the tip of the leaf. The brownish dots in the diseased leaf tissue are the spores which spread the disease. Rains wash the spores to healthy leaves and. if showers are S__ IE O ; trees can be sprayed only with a power .outfit such as used by city park boards. , Trees which have been defoliated by i, severe attacks of the disease can be . protected from damaging losses of vl> tallty by applications of fertilisers gueh as ammonium sulphate.

HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXISTING BUSINESS DEPRESSION THAT WAS CERTAIN TO FOL­ LOW SPECULATION ORGY Installment Buying and a Balky Talking Senate Are Also Responsible There are many, including some In the United States senate and house of representatives, who are criticising President Hoover, charging him with the responsibility far the depression that exists at the present time. We do not understand how anyone who lias read history and thinks can lay that responsibility at the door of lhe Presi­ dent. We had a severe depression in 1873. That was due. as is the present one largely, to over speculation. In addition to that was uncertainty in 1873 about the value, of our paper cur­ rency. In 1893 was an even more drastic panic, followed by four years of severe depression. This was due, as was the other, to over speculation and to lhe beginning of the free silver agi­ tation. The writer can well remember when President McKinley was making his campaign for chief executive. His party labeled him 'The Advance Agent of Prosperity" After his election in 1896 things did not begin to mend at once. The depression existed to a les­ sening degree through 1897 and the tide did not turn until 1898. During the closing months of 1896 and during all of 1897. papers that were opposed to President McKinley and his policies were continually criticising him. de­ claring that he had been labeled as the ■'Advance Agent of Prosperity," and must have loat his show, as he was so far ahead of it that no one could see the show. All of this criticism ended, howeyer, when the tide did turn and good times came. There was a panic due to speculation in 1907. while Presi­ dent Roosevelt was al the head of the government. It was two or three years before times became normal again. We all remember the depression that fol­ lowed the World war and that did not mend until 1923. But there have been difficulties with which President Hoover has had to contend that are different from situa­ tions that confronted his predecessors in 1873, 1893, In 1907 and 1920. The United States senate has seemed to take delight in voting down all his sugges­ tions. a combination of democrats and so-called progressive republicans unit­ ing for that purpose; and they are still at it. He called a special session of congress to pass a tariff bill and sug­ gested the lines that should be followed in the framing of that bill. The house of representatives finished its work in a very few weeks, having hod a com­ mittee at work on the revamping of the tariff for several months before Presi­ dent Hoover’s inauguration. Eighteen months ago this bill as it passed the house was sent over to the senate. In­ stead of gettlng.al their work of modi­ fying tlie bill where they thought that was necessary, then passing it as they easily could within a limit of ninety days, they have consumed a year and a half. They have kept the business of the country in suspense all that time. Their completed work is not In harmony with the suggestions that President Hoover originally made. He asked them to raise the duties on farm products and give the farmer the protection that he was entitled to and to leave the other schedules substantially as they were, except In cases where it could be proven that foreign competition would ruin American manufacture In certain lines, unless duties were raised. Thus it can be seen that the President has not had the support he was entitled to from those who were supposedly of his own party, but who have taken every occasion to show their unfriendliness to him, and their disposition to play pol­ itics with his suggested procedure. It seems to us that it is .most unfair Co charge the President with responsi­ bility for the existing depression. A de­ pression was inevitable after the wild speculation that had been carried on in Wall street for four or five years, which disregarded Intrinsic values. Specula­ tors fixed the selling prices Df stocks. When the bubble burst there was bound to be a depression because, Instead of a few hundred thousand Interested in the securities markets who lost when prices fell, as in past depressions, the num­ ber of speculators had increased to mil­ lions. There was hardly a village or even a country district that did not have from one to dozens of men who were interested in speculation on Wall street. When prices fell and fortunes were wiped away or greatly Impaired, there followed the same result that has appeared tn previous years when these things occurred. The only dlffefence is that no one questions our monetary sit­ uation now as they did in 1873. 1893 and 1907. There is enough money in the country available for those with ample security, so that the country .is not suffering from a money panic, as It did in 73 and *93, when it was impossible to get money, no matter how much or how good security might be offered. We hardly realise in this country how changed business methods have tied up the purchasing power of lhe American people. So many automo­ biles have been sold with small down­ payments and a practical mortgage on the purchaser's income for many months to come. Radios, furniture, fur­ nishings. household goods of all kinds end other wanted articles have been •aid tn the same way. Naturally with billions of dollars tied up in that man­ ner, with the income of millions of purchasers mortgaged for installment payment debts for several months and in gome cases two or three years ahead, there may not be a quick recovery. There will have to be liquidation. Pur- —■■■ r ■■ PART Three of this Four Generation FIRST—To create a friendly atmosphere that will make every customer feel at home and inspire a lasting confidence.

President Hoover is not to blame be­ cause people bought heavily on the in­ stallment plan. He Is not to blame be­ cause It took the United States senate a year and one-half to pass a bill that ought not to have- consumed more than ninety days. He is not to blame be­ cause the senate has blocked his pro­ gram and seemed to take delight in making a political football of every proposal he has made. The tide will turn and it will then be •Been that it was not tlie President who was to blame for the present situation. Part of It Is the natural and inevitable result of too much installment buying. Part of it is due to the failure of the United States senate to agree on the duties to be levied by th> new tariff bill so that business affected by it could know what it could depend upon and prepare for when it became a law. Much of it is due to wild speculation on Wall Street. The President and the President's supporters will naturally suffer In the off-year elections of 1930. It is fortunate for him that the presi­ dential campaign is two years away. The sober, good sense bf the American people will place the responsibility for depression where it belongs. They will realize some time, we hope before 1932. that It does not belong to President Hoover. The present depression will end. and then there will be a return of good tlm^s. Just how soon that will be no one can definitely tell. We may see a turn for tlie better next fall. Time and settled conditions are needed. The pass­ ing of the tariff bill, the large build­ ing program throughout the country, the liquidation of Installment debts will help very much. Another help will be to stop wasting money on unnecessary things. OBITUARY.

June 23—Cream which Is cooled immediately after being sep। arated is of better quality and should bring a higher price than cream which does not receive this inexpensive at­ tention. according to members of the dairy department at Michigan State1 Oiliege. Cream can beat be cooled bv placing ; it in a deep setting can where the Um- ' peralure can be kept low. When the ' next cream is ready for cooling, that; In the cooling can can be transferred io the can used for delivering the t cream. The cream in the delivery can should be thoroughly stirred as each batch of cream is added. Btftli cans can be cooled the most easily by setting them In cold, running water. Cream can be kept in good condition by placing a tank, barrel, or tub on the pipe line between the well and the stock watering tank. This will fur­ nish a water supply with little expense for piping.’ Tlie tank for the cream cans should be covered with a roof to keep off the sun^ heat. Cold water cools cream much faster than cold air. When cream is delivered in hot weather, tlie can should be covered with a wet blanket while being taken to the station. Well kept cream can be tested for butterfat more easily and more exactly than cream which Is in poor condition High grade butter cannot be made from low quality cream. Cream which U kept properly cooled will add dollars lo the cream check. KINGENSMITH DISTRICT.

Readers of the CHURCH OBSERVES FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Banner will remember that we men­ tioned the fact that Lretar Wolff, of Maple Grove, disappeared about two years ago. when he was wanted by the Former Pastors and Members Gathered for Two Days at Evangelical Church The fiftieth anniversary of the North Maple Grove Evangelical church was very appropriately celebrated on June 21 and 22.—two wonderful days which will not soon pass from the memories of the many people who attended. Old acquaintances were renewed, new ac­ quaintances were made and much pleasure was afforded the people be­ cause of the presence of former min­ isters. ' The opening service of the anniver­ sary held Saturday afternoon. Rev. J. M. Nyce. who was the pastor fortyone years ago but who now lives at Lansing, war. the speaker. He gave a very inspiring message into which he wove many experiences which he had white In Maple Grove. According to his statements, there have been many marked changes which have taken place In those forty-one years. Saturday evening Congressman J. C. Ketcham, who was a former member of this church, delivered a wonderful ad­ dress. At a very early age he attend­ ed church and Sunday School here and held his first public office at this church. In a very splendid manner. Mr. Ketcham paid a most fitting trib­ ute to those members of the church who have meant so much in his life but who have passed to their reward. A list of seventy-six names of mem­ bers who are deceased was read in closing. Rev. D. C Ostroth. pastor of the Lan­ sing Evangelical church, delivered a very uplifting message on Sunday morning. Ho received his early religious training at this church also, and conse­ quently many pleasant memories of the past are very dear to him. Il was a very rare treat. Indeed, for everyone, to have at the anniversary services Rev. 8. Helninger of Grand Rapids, who fifty years ago laid the cornerstone and dedicated the church. He is now clghty-eight years old and for one claiming that number of years is very active. , Although the services were very tiresome for him. yet he en­ joyed them so much that he attended every one except that on Sunday eve­ ning. The real treat came on Sunday afternoon when he delivered a most stirring message. He has a wonder­ fully keen intellect for one his age. and God certainly used him in a mar­ velous manner In the service. During the service Sunday afternoon Rev. A. Ostroth of Nashville and Mrs. Frank Hyde of Maple Grove gave the history of the church from its earliest beginnings. They told of Rev. Louis Brumm and Rev. Fred Miller being the first two ministers here. They told of the many hardships and sacrifices which had to be made by the forefa­ thers of the church in order that this structure might be built. Sunday evening was the last service of the anniversary. W. H. Watson, presiding elder of the Kalamazoo dis­ trict. delivered a very fitting message on the subject. “We Are All Debtors." In connection with this and all other services there were other special fea­ tures including duets by Rev. and Mrs. D. C. Ostroth. music by Heber Foster's orchestra of Barryvllle. music by the Wqodland quartet, and readings and music by home talent. All this helped to make this fiftieth anniversary of the North Maple Grove Evangelical church a wonderful success. farm ccon. adju the f and' thee fered Bathing Shoes To Match Costumes how got wind of the fact that the of­ ficers might be after him and vanished. No trace of him has been found since. It appears that a relative of Wolff's died in Waukesha oounty. Wisconsin, leaving an estate from which Lester Wolff would have received 8150. Thia relate cannot be closed, because Wolff cannot be found; and there is on one to whom the administrator of the Wiscon­ sin estate can be safe In paying the 1150 without court action. Accordingly, on June 26 Attorney Barnett filed a peUtlon in probate court here asking that a • temporary admlnlatrator" be appointed. The law of Michigan provides for an adminlstrator. designated by those words, in case where an heir to property may disap­ pear and his whereabouts be unknown. Attorney Barnett filed thia petition asking that Mrs. Lena Wolff, wife of Lester Wolff, be appointed as such ternporary administrator. She will have the same power as a special adminis­ trator under the law. This is the firit time in a good many yean, if ever, that Just this situation has arisen in our probate court here. talk their Bathing Slippers j 1< will be remembered that, on the SJth anniversary of the graduation of the class of 1877, Charles O Curtis of Detroit, one of the three llvin>t mem­ bet> of that class, was present to enjoy the fine gathering of the Hastings HUH School Alumni AJunc.Utlon on that occasion. Mr. Curtis, together with C W. Jones of Kansas City and John H Brown of Rutherford.

Hero July 4th and the Lan­ sing "Eagles" Sunday - Rain Interfered with the ball game at Thomapple lake Sunday afternoon between Greenville and the Hastings Independents, and it was called at the end of the fifth inning. It was a good game until the rain came to put an end to further playing, the score stand­ ing 7 to 3 in favor of Hastings. On the afternoon of July 4th the fast Eaton Rapids team will play the Hastings Independents at Thornapple lake. When these teams meet there is always a ball game on, and thh contest will doubtless be no exception. Eaton Rapids has a real team and al­ ways rfMms to be at its best when iL meets Hastings. Next Sunday the Lansing "Eagle*" will play the Hastings Independents at Thomapplie lake. ■ These two teams clashed once before this year. Hastings finishing on the winning end.

Others are suffering too. We do not and cannot see Just how our economic affairs ore to be Anally re­ adjusted. but we are all conscious of ‘the fact that a readjustment is In prog­ ress that ta effecting business, industry and'farming, and, no one can predict the outcome. Farmers liave always suf­ fered from the fact that they are not organized. The laborer* have their union*, the manufacturers their as­ sociations. where they can meet and talk over genera] policies and shape their affairs to conform to those poli­ cies. For Instance: take the furniture situation, which ft as serious foe fur­ niture manufacturers as the fanning situation now existing ts for farmers. Furniture manufacturers can save themselves from some losses by reduc­ ing production, because there are com­ paratively few of them, and they have knowledge, which the farmer does not have, of condition* which obtain In their-Industry and can and do govern themselves accordingly. Right now. in view of the depression, furniture fac­ tories *re not piling up stocks of manu­ factured goods. They are curtailing production, making what the market calls for and keeping their stocks low. The furniture retailer ta not over buy­ ing. He Is not. even when extra dis­ counts are offered, piling up a big stock of good*, which he does not know whether he can sell or not, and which of style. Furniture buyers and makers are smaller units and can act together. It is easy because they have the infor­ mation that will help them to shape their affairs. Contrast this with the fanners—eight to ten millions of them—scattered all over the United States, without or­ ganisation. without means of knowing wbat agricultural products will be in demand and how much of each will be needed.

City Engineer Spark* Is well pleased with the way in which the now plant 1* operating. He feel* confident that 11 will be equal to all* the demands upon It for waler; and that Ito opera­ tion will save a considerable sum as compared with a steam plant. The purchase of the three electric pumps and their complete installation have not coat any more than would have been required for the purchase one setting of a new water-tube boiler. Th* other boilers at the plant are In goo<! condition and will last for many yean. or the water committee to do away with the steam altogether. The ^Ity ball building ta heated from the water works and all Ute heating equipment and connections are In place and will last for many year* to come; so that seme steam would be necessary in any event. Moreover, it appeared to the council, the water work* committee and the city engineer, that It would be a wise provision to have what might be termed a reserve pumping plant, so that In case some unusually severe storm put the electric'line* out of con­ dition. so they could not deliver the current, the steam pumping plant would be available for use. It ta the plan to carry banked Ares under the boilers at the blant. so as to deliver heat to the city hall and at the same time to have the water In the boilers heated to such a temperatur^ that, in a very short time, pressure "ould be raised so that the steam pumps, which have been left In the plant, can be operated. Thus. It can be seen that this action of the council has not cost the city any more than It would to have installed a water-tube boiler, and ha* given the city two independent pumping plant* to meet any emergency. The new electric pump*, have been In operation now for about three weeks. The city engineer ta well satisfied with result* so far. It ta too early to get figures that will show what savings are effected by electric operation a* com­ pared with steam. It will probably take several months to get definite figures. The city engineer, however, is satisfied that a good saving 1* cer­ tain and that actual results that he will be able to submit to the council next year will satisfy that body and the people of Hastings that the electric pumping outfit saves money to the taxpayers.

Osborn. would support republican principles, and fairly support the policies which the President, the leader of hl* party, may urge as necessary to carry out those principles. There can be no real government. In a democracy like ours, unless there can be party accountability. There can be no party accountability if, for instance, members of the republi­ can party, who are selected for the United Slates senate or the house of representatives shall, after their elec­ tion. feel they are free lances and are themselves the sole judges of whether they shall abide by the platform upon which they were nominated and elected and are free to oppose or support the policies the President, likewise elected may. as the party's head, frame to carry out the platform pledges and principles of the party. If Senator Couzens is unwilling to do that, he ought not to ask or expect republicans to favor him for United States senator. Senator Couzens lias not supported President Hoover in the policies he has framed to carry out the pledge* of hl* party. He did not stand by the Presi­ dent when he voted against confirming Charles Evan* Hughes as . a I member m of the United States Supreme court. He dld not support the reooenihend.ti™. ot the President with regard to the pensioning or Woeld war veterans. Senator Couama voted roe a blu that would place from 75,000 to 100.000 World war veterans in a position to demand a pension for disabilities Incurred since the war, the same as If they had been Injured during actual war service. Thcse diseases or accident* that caused these 75,000 to 100,000 cases that Sen- ator Oouzen* voted to pension had nothing to do with tb*ir war service. We think th* principle at it ta vicious.

Is that consistent? In our judgment Senator Couzens has not been a constructive statesman Suoh a statesman would, we believe, be one who would wish to support meas­ ures which the executive head of the country, who 1s also the executive head of Senator Couzens* party, conceived to b6 needed to carry out Ute platform pledges of hl* party. There may l»e de­ tails in which measures suggested by the President should be changed; but to ride roughshod over a President * recommendation* in such matters as we have suggested when that Presi­ dent Is the head of the senator s own party Is not consistent with our form ot government. How can there be »uch a thing as party accountability if ttie* Couzens type of senatorial service shall obtain throughout the country? It is because we believe Honorable Chase S.

V HsUIMS �THE HASTINGS HANNER, WEDNESDAY, JULY t, IBM President Hoover Is Justified In Opposing Such a Grab It Is hoped that the American Legion as an organization will not make the __ ,__ _ mistake of sponsoring unfair, unjust and unreasonable pension bills. No lalnninded American wants anything else than Justice and liberality shown towards those who. when the call of their country sounded, met that cal) ' 'b.WJMi strong. Every man who was injured In the service, every man who contracted disease while in the service, os well as their families, and the fam­ ilies of *U who were killed or wounded - deserve liberal pensions from our. gov­ ernment. But tbe U. 8. Senate has started a precedent whleh if followed will harm this country and will certainly bring the American Legion into disfavor if they shall sjxinsor such crazy legisla­ tion. The President vetoed the bill when It was sent to him from the senate. That body has passed it again by vote of 66 to 6. It is now up to the house. If this measure as It passed the senate is examined, one can un­ derstand why President Hoover called it bad legislation. In speaking of It the President said: "Except for some marginal cases, the government has long since generously provided for the men whose disabilities arose from the war Itself.

FIRE THE ENEMY OF PROSPERITY. The United States is going through a period of Industrial readjustment and working to solve tho employment prob­ lem. Il is interesting to consider the effect of our annual fire loss in this connection. . In the first place, the yearly fire waste of approximately $500,000,900 is enough to employ 400,000 people at $100 a month for one year. This money alone, if constructively used, would have a salutary effect on employment. In the second place, every fire causes an estimable loss. Indirectly, due to cessation of business and loss of time and labor. This condition is followed by unemployment and lowered pur­ chasing power In tiie third place, every fire reduces our national wealth. Destroyed pro­ perty is irreplaceable.’ in the broad sense. We cannot be “protected" from fire. An insurance policy, for example, creates nothing new. It help* replace a property that was uselessly destroyed and thereby uses money that could have otherwise gone Into new activity. This year fire losses have been rising. The loss during March was $1,686,578 greater than In March. 1929. No nation.: no matter how wealthy, can forever afford our colossal fire waste. Fire is the enemy of prosperity. | APPLY THE “MONTAGUE TEST." The late O. E. Montague, one of the most distinguished of English journal­ ists. believed that all political action should be tested by the same standards as personal conduct In other words, tbe same degree of honesty, sincerity and Integrity of purpose should govern politics us governs other human ac­ tions. It is doubtful if a better test could impossible, but asks only that the poll- i ticlan shall be as free of hypocrisy and dishonesty as the average citizen? Yet. judged by it, many of our Ameri- ] can politicians, in high place*, fall down hard. Their action* are governed by a desire to hang onto their jobs at: any cost. They form a growing bu­ reaucracy, employing it* power to still further restrict the liberties and rights of business and individuals. It might be a good idea if American voter* would adopt the "Montague Test" when going to the poll*. They finally got that big oil gusher ta Oklahoma City muzzled but so far nobody has been able to find a way to quiet the political demagogues.

PHONE ISIS FRANK SAGE POISON BAIT STOPS DAMAGE BY HOPPERS Old Enemy of Orop* Appear* In Large Number* in Borne Part* of Michigan East Lansing. June 30—The recent appearance of unusual numbers of grasshoppers in some sections of Michi­ gan is the signal for farmers In the northern part of the State to prepare to feed them poison bolt irutaad of succulent forage, according to the entomology department at Michigan State College. The proximity of large areas of un­ cultivated lands near farms makes It possible for the grasshoppers to develop undisturbed and then move to the farms and do serious damage to grow­ ing crops. Tiie grasshoppers have natural enemies which will reduce their numbers but this control Ls too slow to be of much assistance. Poisoned bran bait properly distrib­ uted will prevent serious damage to crops by this Insect. The ball is pre­ pared by mixing one bushel of bran, one-half gallon of cheap molasses, a little water, and one pound of white nana oil are then stirred into the mix­ ture. Arsenate of lead or parts green can not be successfully used as a poison for grasshoppers. A little salt added to the prepared bail makes it more at­ tractive. The bait should be broadcast in areas where there are numbers of grasshop­ pers. Care should be taken so there ore no lumps of bait large enough to be eaten by animals. The jxalson does not kill the grass­ hoppers Immediately but they will stop feeding as soon as they have eaten any of it. Another formula for the preparation of a poison bait will be sent those who write the entomology department and ask for IL CUT-OVER LAND WILL PRODUCE BEEF HERDS Michigan Areas Are Suitable for the Growing of Feed­ er Calves Three Purposes of this Four Generation Bank FIRST—To create a friendly atmosphere SECOND—To attend to the wants of every customer in such a cheerful and court­ eous manner as to make him or her feel assured of our deep appreciation for the pdtronage accorded us.

Tho Michigan producer of feeder calves has the advantage of being near good markets for this class of stock. Tiie cut-over sections have abundant rainfall and there is more natural protection for the cattle than on the western ranges. The Michigan land will carry more cattle per acre than much of the western range. Beef cows can be carried through the winter in good condition by feeding only alfalfa or sweet clover hay. This furnishes a market for thLs forage and makes it possible to carry the cow herd at a low feed cost- Figures compiled by the U. S. Department of agriculture show that beef cows can be kept through a year at a cost of 825 to 835 dollars each by wintering them on legume hoy.

S. Senator Is Gaining A Representative Democracy Requires Party Accountability Which Sen- , ator Couzens Opposes CERTAIN LOCAL LADS ARE IN FOR TROUBLE Unleis They Learn to Appreci­ ate the Property Bights of Other People A representative of the "Osborn for Senator" organisation from Ixuislnfi was in Hastings on Thursday. He staled that there is a large and increasing in­ terest in the candidacy of Mr. Osborn for United States senator. Even in De­ troit. where his opponent resides aa well aa in other large centers of Michi­ gan. there is a growing feeling that Mr. Osborn ought to be named for this re­ sponsible place. As the Banner stated last week, we have no personal feeling whatever with reference IO Senator Oouxens. His fortunate connection with Henry Ford made him a very wealthy man and ne has been disposed to use large sums for philanthropic purposes, which is to be commended. Our opposition to Senator Couzens is due to the fact that he is not con­ sistent or dependable in his votes in the senate. Instead of supporting the ad­ ministration. he is sometimes llnid up on the other side. Our form of govern­ ment cannot function on any other basis than party accountability, with two opposing political parties. Party accountability for the legislative ac­ tions of its representatives is an essen­ tial part of such a government. Sen­ ator Couzens frequently votes in tire senate against his party and the Presi­ dent. His failure to support measures sponsored by his party and the party's head, the President, has not been con­ sistent with our form of government. We hold that such action is not proper in a senator who Is elected by any po­ litical party. That would be Just as true if Senator Cousens had been chosen by his party, who is the execu­ tive of the nation and. by virtue of his office, head of his party, ought to be followed helpfully, not blindly nor an­ tagonistically. If Senator Couzens thinks that President Hoover is wrong about any matter there is a better way to help the President sec his error as Mr. Couzens secs it than to openly fight Uie President as Senator Couzens did when he opposed the nomination of Chief Justice Hughes for the United States Supreme court. He did the same with recommendations of the President for carrying out certain poli­ cies of the party, of which the Presi­ dent is t}ie head. How can we have party accountability if U. 8. senators.

The Proof of It To those who have visited Highlands Dairy it it not neces­ sary to offer evidence that it is a model plant. A visit will give you complete proof. We invite visitors to inspect our plant. To those who have not paid us a visit, the official report made July 1 by A. H. Reed, State Inspector of the Bureau of Dairying, will be convincing proof of the excel­ lence of Highlands Dairy’s plant:— Mr. Reed aaid, when he inspected Highlands Dairy on July 1st last: “There are larger but no better dairy plants in Michigan. 1 don't know how you can improve on it” The Slate Inspector's blank for scor­ ing a plant makes 6 points a perfect score on its pasteurizing equipment. He scored our equipment 6. His blank allows 4 points for perfection in the condition of a pasteurizing plant when he inspects it. His official re­ port for Highlands Dairy scored us 4 points on condition of this equipment. His blank puts 3 as a perfect score on a cooling plant. Highlands Dairy's cooler scored 3. On equipment and work in sterilizing bottle* and all equipment with steam, alkali, boiling water or chlorine, the state’* blank puts 3 a* a perfect score. Highland* Dairy on sterilizing work and equip­ ment wa* marked 3 by Inspector Reed. On General Sanitation, the state print* 3 on its blank a* a perfect score, and Inspector Reed marked Highland* Dairy 3 for General Sanitation. On Building, the state’s record blank scores 1 for that item. Mr. Reed marked that item for the Highlands Dairy 1 — completely meeting the state's requirements. Possible Points for excellence, care of and operation of Plant and Equipment specified by the Bureau of Dairying total 20. State Inspector Reed gave Highlands Dairy the full 20 Points. Asked if he had any suggestions for im­ provement, he answered, “1 cannot suggest a thing. You have a Model Dairy Plant.” When a State Inspector, who drop* * in on a plant without notice a* did Mr. Reed, a man who ha* no interest out­ tionhi* board of every precinct, in order to side own official duties, make* a report giving Highland* Dairy a per­ fect score according to the state's standard*, we are naturally pleased as we believe YOU will be.

This was done tn order that Mr. Osborn could take care ot some work on his farm. Ernest Dowd, who was convicted by a jury of stealing wheat from a Johns­ town farmer not long ago, was brought before Judge McPeek on Thursday. His attorney, Kim Sigler, had made a mo­ tion for a new trial for Mr. Dowd, which was argued before the Judge, who denied the motion. Mr. Dowd was then brought before the court for sen­ tence. He was given from eighteen months to five years at Ionia. Hta at­ torney then made a motion to appeal the case to the supreme court on a writ pf error. The bond was fixed and made out for the amount required by the court pending this appeal. The request to have the case tried by the supreme court will be argued as soon as it can be arranged. If the request to hear the appeal ta granted by the supreme court then the case will go before that court for final decision. 3. There was provided, and ta still be­ ing provided more and more at each session of congress, hospitalization for the treatment of former service men for diseases suffered or injuries received while in service.

Specialization of Service Has Altered Life of People and ' Social Structure Hastings Rotary held their July 1 meeting In the beautiful new social rooms in the Fuller block, and were de­ lighted with the fine place and the many conveniences afforded by these quarters, whicli are leased by BarryLodge Knights of Pythias. The new president. Hubert Cook, pre­ sided at this gathering. Tlie guest of honor was Maurice R. Keyworth, of Hamtramck, who can now be addressed as "Dr. Keyworth." having been given his degree by the University of Michi­ gan. He Is now as he has been since he left Hastings, tlie superintendent Of the Hilmtramck public schools. Mr. Keywortfl discussed tlie changes whicli have been coming so swiftly In recent years in this country. He has promised the writer that he will furnish a copy of his remarks, so we will not attempt to cover them at this time. He told how modern Inventions had changed the habits of our people. The fact that everybody is specializing on some one particular kind of work In­ stead of being "Jack of all trades," as our forefathers were, is making a vast difference with the kind of people we are. Changing conditions, the fact that we have welcomed to our country mil­ lions of people who have come from other lands with altogether different backgrounds than we have and alto­ gether different traditions than we have, have altered the times for us. He spoke of the pioneer family, how they lived without buying much, pro­ ducing most of their food and clothing and the other articles they needed. The family was liicn a social and economic unit. He contrasted the change. Now tlie family buy all their clothes; raise very little of their food. It Is not nec­ essary for each family to have a cow; we have milkmen. Instead ot having separate homes we have apartments; instead of doing the washing In the home we send it to the laundry. There is little of what used to be a big port of the work at the home—namely, food preparation. Home has largely become Just a place to sleep in, he said. He predicted that the old type of home will never return. Tlie old social and eco­ nomic life is changed and changed for good. The individual Is no longer the independent person he formerly was. Our economic structure is based now on an exchange of services. Bad times mean more than they once did. be­ cause we specialize for particular serv­ ices. We have now reached a higher state of economic morality, and tlie conclusion is becoming accepted that, In the exchange of services, both par­ ties to the exchange must benefit. There can be no such thing as absolute economic ethics tn a changing world, such as we are passing through now. We arc now going through a period of confusion incident to- a large change in our social and economic life. But we will reach a slate of mind and feeling where we will again settle down for a time, but only for a time; because new Inventions and new customs and new social ideas will bring other changes. The value ot clubs like Rotary, he said Is this: They arc a training school in new methods for adjusting ourselves to a changing world. The important thing is to have our reason as well as our emotions respond to the idea that all exchanges In life, whatever their nature, must work to the benefit of all concerned therein; that we have no right to even attempt to profit selfishly at the expense of others. PENNOCK HOSPITAL Pennock hospital Is crowded to the limit this Wednesday morning with 26 patients and two babies The need for a nurses' home Ls very apparent when conditions are as they are this morning. The following babies were bom at the hospital during the past week:— On July 4. a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Lewis, 303 Colfax St.. 1 City; a daughter was born to Mr. and I Mrs. Omar Barker. 216 No. Broadway. | on July 4; Rev. and Mrs. E.

There entered into the case the payment also of *107 for furniture which had belonged to her. but willed she had brought to tlie Elliston home anti which he paid for by a note. This note with the interest amounted to *107. Tlie Jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict for *720 due for services which, with *107 due on the note, brought the total amount of the claim of plaintiff against the estate, as found by the Jury, to be *827. The attorney for the defendants, after the verdict was rendered, made a motion to have the Jury's decision set aslde. claimlng that the proof showed that the plaintiff had been paid all that was due her. except the *107 on the note which they admitted was ow­ ing to her.

This is not due to any personal feeling against Senator Couzens; but because we believe that his idea of how he should perform his duties as United States senator are inconsistent with our form of government and harmful. A representative government cannot be carried on except by party account­ ability. Party accountability is impos­ sible if a United States senator is go­ ing to feel. as Senator Couzens evi­ dently docs, that he is a free lance, has the right to support or oppose the platform pledges of his party and a right to oppose the President, who is the head of his party in our form of government, in tlie efforts he makes and measures he urges to carry out the platform pledges of the party. There is not in Michigan or in any other stale a man of greater learning than Chase S. Osborn. He has proven his capacity for public office by the splendid record he made as governor ot this state. He is not in sympathy with the Couzens idea that a man can take an office, to Which he is elected by the votes of a party, and is then free to oppose that party if elected. We never can have party accountability tf that is the way in which our sena­ torial or representative candidates canact after they arc elected. NASyVILLE. I Mr. and Mrs. A. R.

COLLEGE MEN TESTED , APPLE SCAB CONTROL Several Year* Teat* Needed to Determine Worth of Spray* in Protecting Fruit* East Lansing. July 7.—Repeated tests of methods for the control of apple scab must be made before the worth of the method can be determined because scab is not serious every year and does not develop in all orchards In equal amounts even in bad years, tho mem­ bers of the horticultural department at Michigan State College have found. The department has made extensive testa of the controls used and recom­ mended for apple scab in Michigan. Experiments were conducted in com­ mercial orchards at Morris. Belding and Pennville, and in the Graham sub­ station orchards at Grand Rapid*. The report made after the testa states that several specially prepared sulphur sprays have not given much satisfactory control of apple scab under all conditions and have been very un­ satisfactory in several Instances. Dry­ mix and wettable sulphurs are said to be much less effective in the control of scab than lime-sulphur. The use of casein spreader In combi­ nation with the higher concentration of lime-sulphur, two apd one-half gal­ lons in 100. did not Increase the value of the spray. The addition of calcium sulphur and tobacco dust to the lime sulphur did not Increase the effective­ ness of the spray. A detailed report of the experiments I* given in special bulletin number 203. which can be obtained free by request­ in’ it from the director of the experlt lent station at Michigan State Col­ lege.

Beef price cycles indicate that there will be a period of a few years when the market price of cattle will gradual­ ly decline. Past cycles have run from 14 to 17 years between one period of high prices and the next period of good markets. Between those two points the prices nave declined to the low point and then Increased again to the high. Dur­ ing the past two or three years, beef production has been low and prices have been high. It now appears that the pendulum of production is about to swing upward nnd that of prices will swing downard. Two factors may slow up the price decline, the specialists state.

We know— You’re Napoleon!” EADERSHIP is the coveted prize in every industry, and the rubber industry is no exception. I So it is only human that our aspiring friendb occasionally indulge in the thrill of talking about Leadership, whether they have it or not. We mention this in all good humor, and merely to explain the somewhat confusing advertising you see now and again, in which one rubber company or another blithely forgets its definitions and shoots the works. The justification for such a fling is that the use of the term Leadership in most cases is qualified, even if obscurely, by being based on some sub­ ordinate phase of the business in which the advertiser claims to excel. UT what’s all the shootin'for—is Leadership really an important matter? B We think it is, as the most dependable indorse­ ment of a product that the public can find upon which to rely. ISPENSING, then, with equivocal claims, of pneumatic tires has increased 172%, as against evasions, qualifications and adroit expres­ an increase of approximately 75% for the industry sion, what company actually holds Leadership in as a whole. the rubber industry? • D The public has decisively answered that question in concrete terms of dollars and cents, and has conferred the award upon Goodyear. Goodyear in turn submits to you the solid facts which support its Leadership. It does this in no spirit of boastfulness; on the contrary with a privileged sense of the responsi­ bility which its outstanding position entails: In both volume and value of annual sales, Goodyear is the largest rubber company in the world. Goodyear consumes 1/6 of all the crude rubber used annually in the world—approximately 50% more than any other manufacturer. Goodyear builds more than 1/4 of all the tires sold in America, the remainder being divided among some forty manufacturers. When a plurality of the world’s motorists, for example, year after year singles out one make of ■ tire as the highest representative of value and merit, that is tremendously important. It affords the average buyer the finest and safest possible guidance in his purchasing—and for bis good and our own we desire to keep that guid­ ance clear. . MR. WILLIAM KALLEN.

Goodyear exports approximately 40% of all the tires exported from the United States and Canada for other par/s of the world.

Goodyear is making, today, more tires than any other manufacturer in the world—tp Goodyear's tire business has increased faster in the last five years than any other manufacturers—by millions. More people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind—by millions. .• HERE’S the story, good people, figure it out for yourselves. \ ■ ■ '* Certainly it means that in Goodyear Tires the average user finds a quality and a value which he cannot equal elsewhere. T Certainly it means that when you buy a Goodyear Tire you buy something good enough, outstand­ ingly good enough, to have won a special and unrivalled place in the confidence of the public. And when any other rubber company confuses you with talk about Leadership, just treat your­ self to a knowing grin and say: "Sure!

Dowflakc pre’•ents dust the natural way — by keeping roads moist Applied to the road surface, it absorbs moisture from the air, retains this moisture over long periods, and binds the road materials into a damp, firm surface. It is clean, odorless, non-cracking, and very easy to apply, It is the practical, inexpen­ sive method and in many instances pays for itself in reduced maintenance costs. Where Dowtlakc is used, clean, healthful, fresh air replaces die dusty, germ-laden atmos­ phere. It permits residents to enjoy life and merchants to raise their standards by display­ ing and selling cleaner, better merchandise. Why endure the discomforts, waste and danger caused by road dust?

Does Your Milk Bottle Cap Say Pasteurized Milk? “PASTEURIZED MILK” on the Bottle Cap From Highlands Dairy Means That the Milk Contained Therein is Sweet, Wholesome, Nutritious and Free From All Harm_ ful Bacteria—A SAFE MILK TO USE I Pasteurizing adds nothing to the milk and takes nothing away from it except a small portion of Vita­ min C. The amount of Yitaniin C, small in any milk, varying with the feeds, is slightly affected by oxidation in Pasteurizing. But Vitamin C is abundantly supplied from’other foods in the average diet, so the slight loss in Pasteuri­ zation is of no real concern. Es­ pecially when compared with the great benefits and the insurance of disease-free,, healthful milk by Pasteurizing. Y. M. C. A. ITEMS Dr. E. V- McCollum,famous health authority of the Johns Hopkins University says: “Every city should enforce the Pasteurization of its milk supply. The reasons for this arc clear and are accepted by all who are in a position, as a result of scientific training, to understand the underlying principles. I have for years insisted that every city should have its milk pasteurized, and under conditions where the city health officer can effectively supervise the process.” Highland Dairy's Pasteurized Milk Is good, clean milk to start with, and is made safe by proper Pasteurization Look at Your Milk Bottle Cap Today If it does not say “Pasteurized Milk’’ Call Phone 2651 and we will see that you are supplied with Properly Pasteurized Milk.'

David Wallingford for "Debt." Ab­ ner Pratt was the attorney for plain­ tills. We do not know whether the Wallingford mentioned had anything to do with " Get-Rich-Quick" Walling­ ford or not Possibly not. because Judg­ ment was entered for plaintiffs, with no one representing defendant. Among others prominent in the early history of the county, whose names were connected with this pioneer edi­ tion ol the court calendar, were Charles T. Gorham, of Marshall. Benjamin L Dibble. Andrew L Hays. William Lewis, known as "Yankee Bill" Lewis. founder ol Yankee Springs. George Thomas; Eurota.% P Hastings, after whom Has­ tings was named; Richard Collier; Miles Hotchkiss; Alvin W.

Miss .Mary Kasteud of Detroit, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Kastcod of Cressey, has returned home to spend her vacation with family at their cottage at Wall lake, I Edw. Kaslead of Cressey and George Payne of Kalamazoo returned home July 3. after a three weeks' trip In the Upper Peninsula trout fishing. They report wonderful luck and the best time ever. When lhe Michigan Central Rail­ road Oonijmny acquired the interurban lines from Grand Rapids to Kalamaaoo by purchase at a mortgage foreclosure sale, It was thought that possibly that purchase might mean that the Michi­ gan Central would have Its own line be­ tween Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. That quite evidently was not lhe plan. It ink develops tlxat the Michigan Central had a far different ob­ ject in getting the lines. It desired the terminal facilities which tile belt lines hud In Grand Rapids and its access to factory districts, not heretofore reached by that road. The Michigan Centralhas now ap­ plied to the Interstate Commerce Com­ mission for permission to construct a belt line in Grand Rapids, so as to di­ rectly serve industrial plants in tnat city. This will no doubt mean that this rallsoad must build a new bridge across the It appears that the Michigan Central has acquired options, anti in some cases made outright purchases, for right-of-way for such a belt line. Be­ cause of the strong financial position of the M. C., building, this belt line WVtlld not involve any bond issue, the -ompany having a large cash surplus, but a small part of which would be re­ quired in getting the right-of-way and doing the actual work of constructing ,a belt line. ' Tlir Michigan Central has for a long time been conducted under iU own name.. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad several years ago gave up its name and is now known as the New York Central. The New York Central has the same control of the Michigan Central as it had of the L. S. A: M. 8. It owns almost 99 per cent I of the outstanding stock of the M. C. The Michigan Central is one of the most profitable properties owned by the New York Centra). The natural increase in values of the property owned by lhe M. C. has never been covered by a stock issue. The com­ pany has paid for all its improvements and equipment out of its earnings, not by selling bonds, and has built up n cash surplus more than equaling its capital stock from its earnings and has paid the New York Centra) handsome i dividends on its holdings of M. C. stock. j One of the purposes of this belt line jls to connect the Grand Rapids branch of the old Lake Shore Rallroad, now the New York Central. This i will practically complete the unification | of lhe system and it Is believed that be। fore long the name Michigan Centra', will be dropped and that of the New York Central substituted. • PRATT DISTRICT. Mrs. Wm. Cronk and Hazel returned Sunday evening from Ann Arbor where Mrs. Cronk has been receiving treat­ ments at the University hospital. She is very much Improved. 00 cars move on the street level with signals o|>erating; automobiles scurry along. Just as you would see them in Detroit There are warning placards, many and specific as to danger to life and Hmb of people who travel on trains, street cars, automobiles, as well as pedestrians on the street. This exhibit Is very lifelike. You see the miniature trains and street cars in motion; the water flowing by represent­ ing the Detroit river making it quite realistic. The exhibit is compact, can be boxed In such a way that when It Is un­ packed the boxes are used as the foundation for the exhibit when ready for Inspection. Ail the different parts of the exhibit can be placed In the con­ venient boxes made for them and put Into the specially designed truck which the company has built for this purpose. The exhibit Is interesting and drew a large number of people who appreciated what it was Intended to teach. It stays about a week In a town like this. It is used much in the Detroit schools for the purpose of teaching children how to watch for signals in crossing streets; i»ow to exercise care in saving them­ selves from possible accident, whether as pedestrians or drivers. The exhibit was in charge of Mr. Frank Emory of Detroit, who was very courteous to all visitors.

The American Legion post of Has­ tings is described in a book of history of the Legion in Michigan which has just been published by the authority of the executive committee of the state organization. This volume contains a great quan­ tity of information relative to the Le­ gion in Michigan, describes the work­ ings of the welfare department and tells of the accomplishments of many individual pasts. It demonstrates that the Legion Is becoming one of the pow­ erful factors for community co-opera­ tion and tells in detail many of the projects sponsored by the veterans in their home cities. Names of several thousand outstand­ ing Legionnaires of lhe state arc listed and their connection with Legion af­ fairs described. The book is profusely Illustrated with portraits pf all the past commanders and adjutants and photographs of memorial buildings, club houses and bugle corps. The history was written and com­ piled by Mills M. Van Valkenburgh. managing editor of the Cadillac Eve­ ning News, who has been connected with tile Michigan Legion since It was organized in 1919. He went to France during the war with the 109th Engi­ neer regiment. 34th Division, and was Immediately transferred to the techni­ cal information section of the Chief Engineer's office in Tours, where he es­ tablished and operated the private printing plant of the Engineer head­ quarters.

ONE YEAR’S MURDER MAKES YOUR HOME LIKE NEW JOIN OUR BLANKET CLUB NOW! London. England, the largest city in the world is bewailing the fact that last year. 1929, there were 10 murders committed In that city, and that four of the culprits are uncaught—and un­ hung. Compare this record with Chicago. Ill., much leas that one-half the size of London. Murders in Chicago run way up Into the hundreds every year, and each year shows an increase, rath­ er than a decrease. The same can be said of all large American cities like Detroit. Philadelphia, New York. Bos­ ton and all lhe rest of them. Why this difference? England has capital punishment laws —and USES them. They know that tf a murderer's neck is stretched as It ought to be. neither kind friends nor a pardon board can bring him back, in a few years, to continue his career of prime where he left off, when the law inter­ rupted. > Then too over in England they re­ fuse to let ally court technicalities, un­ necessary delays and long drpwn out trials obstruct justice. ’Everyone fully realizes that a fellow can get himself hanged very quickly In London, if he tries. For that reason very few of them try. Killing other people Is re-; garded as quite a serious matter over there, just as it should be over here. [ But II never will be anything but a farce over here until we change our methods and our laws, so that some I consideration is given the innocent vic-1 Urns qf crime, and not all ot it given to the brutal murderers.

The addition of these buildings to the 1 College equipment will furnish Col­ lege research men with better and more ! modem equipment in their search for methods of assisting the livestock pro­ ducers of the State. Three barns are built for experimen­ tal work with beef cattle, sheep, and horses. Another will house the College beef cattle herd, and the fifth will house the breeding horse herd. The College poultry plant completes the, list of new buildings. This plant pro- ‘ vides many of the facilities which the [ poultry department has lacked In their previous work.

Years of Suffering From Com­ plication of Ailments Quick­ ly Ended by New Med­ icine MRS. ALBERT COFFINGER. "Por a long Ume I suffered from the disordered condition of my stomach.” said Mrs. Albert CofSnger, 619 North Second street. Niles, Michigan. "My food refused to digest, but lay like a rock ‘in my stomach. I was always constipated, and strong laxatives gave me only temporary relief. My kidneys and bladder caused lots of trouble. My back constantly pained me. and I hod to get up four or five times every night due to bladder actions. "Konjola proved to be just Ute medi­ cine I needed. In a remarkably short time, my stomach was restored to a normal, healthy condlUon. and my food digests, and all the distress that used to follow my meals Is gone. My bowels are regular and my kidneys and blad­ der are in first-class condlUon. and the back pains are gone. I never have to get up nights, sleep well, and bene­ fit from the rest I get.” Quickly Konjola goes to the source of the ailments and. If taken with reg­ ularity far six or eight weeks, it brings new. glorious and abundant health. Konjola is sold tn Hastings at The Rexall drug store, and by all the beat dnigglsts in all towns throughout this entire section.—Adv. a Lifetime to get plus value in Tires The majority Of people who read this ad­ The Goodyear fl nation-wide pref­ vertisement are going to need tires this Supertwist Car- erence two-and-a- season; the time to buy them is right now. cass is superior in half to thirty times Crude rubber is cheap; as a result tire prices are the lowest in history. vitality and long life, and this means economy 'You can actually buy at this time the world’s best tires for no more money and freedom frqm trouble. than you used to pay for inferior or un­ known tires.

Those frequent dust clouds that invade homes, cover crops, foliage and flowers, cause accidents, and spoil merchandise, are costly as well as annoying. If exact figures were available covering the tremendous waste caused by dust in your local­ ity the total sum would probably astonish you. Dust is jo unnecessary, because it can bq prevented so easily. Clean, odorless,-non-tracking Dowflake Calcium Chloride keeps roads moist, firm and dust-free. It is easy to apply—once applied it keeps the road sur­ face damp for weeks. And it is clean—nothing to track or adhere tp shoes, tires or horses’hoofs. Very often it more than pays for itself in reduced main­ tenance costs. Dowflake is widely used to control dust in parks, public playgrounds, tennis court.-., cemetery drives, private estates, etc. It is the ideal dvst prevention material for use wherever road dust is a nuisance Send for Free Book Why endure the dangers, annoyance and waste of road dust when dust prevention is such a simple matter? Ask your officials to try Dowflake —the clean material. Write for our free book "How To Control Dust" which gives complete information. >4 Na.I.v, 1.

SHOULD 0E EDNSIDERING CELEBRATION ALL THREE VICTIMS DIE RESULT OF LAKE 0’ FIRE Because, after years of scientific research, leading health authori­ ties recommend Pasteurization as the practical safeguard of the nation’s milk supply. That is why all the larger cities require the Pasteurizing of the milk sold to their people. Would they do this if research and experience had not proven that to be the right thing to do to protect and promote the public health? Proper Pasteurization destroys all harmful disease germs that might have come into the milk without harming the natural food elements present in the milk. Many serious epidemics of disease, such as typhoid, scarlet fever, sep­ tic sore throat, have been traced directly to the milk supply as their source. No Epidemic of Disease Has Ever Been Traced To Properly Pasteurized Milk Dr. Herman N. Bundsen, for­ mer Health Commissioner of the city of Chicago, says: — "Since the institution of an or­ der in 1916 that all milk, ex­ cept certified milk, be pasteur­ ized, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE CASE OF CONTAGION TRACED TO THE MILK SUPPLY, a rec­ ord that speaks volumes for the efficacy of Pasteurization as a public health measure.” HIGHLANDS DAIRY MILK AND CREAM ARE CAREFULLY PASTEURIZ­ ED by heating to a tempera­ ture of 142 degrees and hold­ ing it for thirty minutes; AF­ TER WHICH IT IS IN­ STANTLY COOLED, BOT­ TLED AND SEALED IN STERILIZED BOTTLES. This destroys the disease germs and preserves the good qualities of the milk. OBITUARY. William F. Clary was bom May 6.

Q Star. a Western Michigan’s Greatest Outdoor Event IONIA FREE FAIR a IONIA a August 11 to 16 DAY AND NIGHT FREE ADMISSION • □nnc Dnc FREE PARKING ABNORMAL CONDITIONS IN EUROPE CAUSE TROUBLE Things To Make the Hot Weather More Bearable! Restriction of Production to the Needs of the Home Markets Would Speedily Bring Relief According to statistics carefully complied by the agricultural depart­ ment at Washington, the United States consumes 90 per cent of the farm pro­ ducts of this country. That includes livestock, as well as grains and other articles, subject to export. This shows the importance of pre­ serving our ■own home market. This Is the one market that ought to be care­ fully kept and safeguarded for the benefit of the farmers of this country. The fact that about 10 per cent of our farm products are exported shows that we have a surplus, if conditions in Europe, especially in the importing countries of Europe, were normal form prices would right themselves. But the economic condition of Europe is ab­ normal. due to the World war. which has upset industries, produced huge national debts, and compelled tremen­ dous increases in taxes. All this has curtailed the buying power of Europe. It has also encouraged European coun­ tries to produce all the food products possible, so as to avoid importation. That is what has brought about the present unsatisfactory conditions in agriculture in the United States—lack of markets. Someone may ask: Why would it not be wise for the United States to buy up the 100.000,000 bushels surplus of wheat and dump It abroad, the government standing the loss? That looks plaus­ ible. but it is not, because every Euro­ pean country has a lax that will pro­ tect Its own farmers from the dump­ ing process by any other nation. We have that kind of laws in this country. Thus It appears that any attempt to force our surplus farm products onto the markets of Europe would be doomed to failure. We get back then to the proposi­ tion that the best market for farm products is the United States. This country can afford to pay 50 per cent more for farm products than they now sell for. How can we avoid a surplus of any farm product, so that a fair price can be obtained in the United States for that product? This Is not an easy question to answer, where six or seven million farmers are concerned. There is only one real answer and that is co-operation among farmers—cut­ ting down to the extent of at least ten per cent, and possibly more the acreage sown to wheat or to any other product, where the price is unduly depressed. But when you think of working out a co-operative scheme with six or seven million men. accustomed to sow as much or os little of any product as they care to. one can see that this h some task. Yet in some manner it must be worked out or there would seem to be no possible solution to the farm problem. Denmark controls the prices of butter, eggs and other farm products by strict co-operation among the farmers of that country. When the word goes out to curtail production, it is carried out to the letter; because every Danish farm­ er knows that that is the only way he can gel a fair price for his product; that when he raises a big surplus over and above what can be consumed In the markets which the Danish farmers control he Is hurting himself. There­ fore there is every incentive for co-op­ eration. We hope the time may come when there may be the same kind of co-oper­ ation in the United States. If we could have it, it would not be difficult to ad­ just the farm situation in our country. If the farmers of Michigan will take a tip from Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, they will not only plant Jess wheat next fall but will maintain a reduced wheat acreage for several years Jo come. The Department of Agriculture has trained observers and experts who know conditions in all wheat producing as well as wheat importing countries. From Information gained from them, as to crop conditions In all these coun­ tries and as to financial conditions in them also. Mr. Hyde is of the opinion that it will be some six or seven years before normal conditions are restored in the countries to which we have ex­ ported wheat in the past. They will not be in a position to buy much wheat of the United States or any other coun­ try because of financial stress. All European governments are encouraging their own people to raise all the wheat they can so as to avoid Importing, as these countries cannot afford to send any more monev into other countries than is absolutely necessary. Secretary Hyde believes that there will be an Increase In the price of wheat over what it is today. He thinks It is now at the lowest point, but there will be no large Increase for some time to come in his judgment. If farmerr are wise they will take this tip from Secre­ tary Hyde, who is a farmer himself and who knows world wide conditions. If we could cut the wheat crop so as to produce no more than to supply our American markets wheat would come up to 81-25 to 81.50 a bushel in this country, and our tariff laws would keep out wheat from other countries, so American farmers would have the American market, and America Li well fixed financially so that our people can afford to pay a fair price for wheat.

Must we unlearn all that we have heretofore felt was true ax to methods dealing with criminals? A San Fran­ cisco doctor. Ralph A.

Since 1 left dear old Michigan for this Southland, letters with different Inquiries come. "Yes. I like Florida in a way. but old Michigan the best, specially when "old Sol" bears down for five long sum­ mer months. And now as to flower seed. I can send some. If you want house plants, I can send some seed of the Poinciana, a beautiful flowering shrub of erect form, and grows rapidly here in the open ground, sometimes blooming the first year. The flowers are produced in drooping racemea. a fiery red and showy for some distance. When we first came to Jacksonville there was only one of these plants here that I knew of and I sent flower, seed pod and leaf of it to Washington for its name. They replied giving name, and said they did not know one of them was in the States, but they were in Europe and asked me to give them all the in­ formation I could of it. and how long it had been here, which I did. and you flower iovers In Barry Co. Try it. Plant in loose soil, sandy sot) is best, and af­ ter it- appears keep the ground moist, specially when it's a. foot or so high. If it rockets too high nip off the topmost leader and make it branch. Another nice pot plant is the beautiful Lan­ tana. Thc flowers arc disc shaped, the size over of a half dollar. The center fiowerettes are the deepest orange color while those on the rim are a brilliant red. At night or in a rain aU turn red. at sunrise the next day they re­ sume their natural color. Only one &■ plant in a pot. so divide your extra seed with another, and see who lias the best luck and later Just write me about them. The Sprenger fem is nice for porch boxes. I do not have so much seed of it. but will send while it lasts. Now anyone is welcome to these seeds, who sends postage, also a plain ad­ dress. mind I said plain, not hier­ oglyphics Intended for an address, and said seed will travel your way-via the • Unde Sam" route. A number of the annuals are also ripe and if you want them for another year I wilt send a half dozen different sorts of them, but the first ones I named plant now.

SPEND YOUR VACATION IN MICHIGAN FAKE “INSPECTORS" PULL CLEV­ ER STUNT ON RESORT TOWNS. Here's a new one that's being tried— and worked—on businesses in resort towns that serve the travelling public; a group of people, say four, five or six. drive into a town in one or two cars to "Inspect" hotels, restaurants, garages, and so on. After sufficient inspection, certain ones of these business con­ cerns are "chosen" to receive a tourist sign and mythical advertising service in exchange for a goodly number of dol­ lars. In return, it is obvious that the group of inspectors get a pleasant and easy vacation and a little profit on the side. And for some unknown reason, the owners of business places fall for this and fall to see that no bona fide, well established organization could stand the overhead of sending a group of people about over the country to sell a sign that one salesman could handle alone! This, in spite of the fact that warnings have been issued repeat­ edly that all concerns serving touring visitors should always consult their lo­ cal chambers of commerce on the ad­ visability of Investing In any -of the various schemes continually presented In resort towns.

The Average Man Can Only by “Plugging” There Isn’t Any “Short Cut” on the Way to Financial Independence and Success Once in a While Some Fellow Will Make It Through Some Fortunate Investment, But That’s the “Exception” And Not the Rule ! For the "Average Person," success and financial independence are won by just. PURE. PERSISTENT "PLUG­ GING," and a dogged determination to SAVE a part of each week’s, or each month’s earnings. The man, or the woman, who saves money in this way, KNOWS how he, or she, got it, and knowing this, is far less apt to risk it on some uncertain venture. In other words, the mere act of SAVING as they do, gives them a better idea of "The value of a dollar." When they in­ vest they put their money into some­ thing SAFE and with an assured re­ turn. This added income is just like "finding money." This Bank has helped a good many people on the road to financial inde­ pendence — people who started in a small way, but who kept right on "plugging" and fighting to win the goal they saw in the distance, and they reached it. Men and women, young or older, the days are passing by. You cannot commence SAVING any too soon. Why not commence TODAY ~ and start right here with us. You would be surprised at the results of a few years of PERSISTENT SAVING, and you would live to bless the day you commenced it.

They ar­ rived soon after and in due course of time, about lhat number of diminutive silk worms were hatched. To feed and eare for these—they diet on mulberry and nsage orange leaves only—has been no light job for the past four or live weeks. Within the past week or so the worms have begun to spin, and reveral thousand IKtle cocoons of raw silk have been secured. It has been a most in­ teresting study to watch lhe develop­ ment of these silk worms. Thev have the most orderly habits possible, nnd it seems as though they posseoed real intelligence, so methodically do they go about the business they have In hand. Scores of visitors have called to watch the performance of these busy workers, and all have fell well repaid for having seen them. Thomas Sullivan is now in Hastings reading law with Messrs.

If Ulis ruling is upheld by the courts, it will place all railroad operation, except liability fpr lore to stockholders, In the hands of a government bureau named by the President. In other words, a public commission which is not burdened with any financial re­ sponsibility of ownership, would have the -right to spend the money of stock­ holders who are helpless to protect their investment from being expended in opppositlon to their best Judgement.)

Failures to secure a good stand of alfalfa, may often be due to a poor seed-bed at the start or to lack of plant food sufficient to give the new seeding a good enough start to carry it through the first winter. A soil pulverizer or corrugated roller is essential in getting a good firm seed-bed and is useful in preparing the soli for other crops where there is a tendency to form clods. Your county agent or state college soils department can tell you whether or not. or in what quantities, lime, superphosphate or potash are needed. Lime may be applied either with a manure spreader equipped with a lime­ spreading attachment: endgate spread­ er; or a forced feed sower. Super­ phosphate may be easily applied with a manure spreader; but If a mixed fertilizer is to be used the research department of the National Associa­ tion of Farm Equipment Manufacturers suggests that a forced feed broadcaster is preferable.

It was hemlock roots that furnished the poison that killed the great philosopher, Socrates. There is not much water hemlock in Michi­ gan. It is fortunate for dairymen who have herds pasturing on low grounds that is true because, when the pUnt first shoots up from the roots in the spring, the leaves and the stem are very poisonous. The- tendency of cat­ tle is then to greedily devour the young leaves and stems and to even eat parts oft he roots. If a cow ate enough of the bulbtu roots to make a quantity equal to an ordinary walnut in size It would kill her In half an hour. The roots on I the plant shown lhe writer by Profes­ sor Miller he said would kill all the men on the train at that 'time, and there were probably 30. In the first car were a number of compartments showing the value of Vced control and explaining that weeds cost Michigan farmers 140,000,000 every year. Another placard slated that high crop yields combat weeds and tend to ' keep them down. Another said tliat "clean seed helps to keep down weeds." ' In another compartment was shown an 'ordinary hand sprayer, with the In1 Junction to "use the chlorate spray to destroy weeds." also to use efficient ma­ ! chincry. especially the disc, in keeping down weed growth. Most of tire farmers were Interested in methods of control of quack grass. Professor Miller explained different plans that had been tried at the col­ lege In fighting this pest. He said the best method that had been found so far was shallow plowing, not over six inches in depth, in the fall. This would tend to weaken the vitality of the roots. He said they followed this in the spring by deep plowing, cropping the ground and then, putting it into alfalfa which helps to choke out the quack. This plan did not sacrifice the use of lhe land. Near the train was a little patch of ground, not far from the Mlciilgan Central freight depot that Professor Miller had treated with chlorate when he visited Hastings to arrange for the coming of the train, a little over a month ago. It was then a thrifty patch of quack grass. The tall leaves of the quack arc dried and the probably two i square roads looked as dead as if the sun had scorched the life out of the I plants. It was not the sun; it was the : chemical. He pulled up some of the i dead grass to show what the chemical I had done to the roots. The ordinary­ quack grass root is white, but the ■ roots of the grass that had been treated with chlorates were brown, almost black, which proved that the chemical । is getting in its work where needed; be­ cause quack gross spreads largely from the roots. He gave an interesting history of quack grass. It is claimed that it was brought to this country from England in colonial days. A British housewife, moving to the new world near Boston, had used chopped hay. containing quack. In packing her dishes. It was not noticed, and lhe chopped grass was scattered about, the quack seed in it finding lodgment in the soil. It made itself perfectly at home and has be­ come a real pest. If our forefathers could only have dumped that quack seed instead of tea Into Boston har­ bor,! f Believing our readers will gll be In­ terested In the use of chlorates for weed control, we print pne of the pam­ phlets obtained on the train to tell the methods employed in using the chem­ ical.

Polson Ivy. and other weeds which are difficult to eradicate. Small areas of quack grass and other persistent weeds, which propagate by means of underground rootstocks soon spread over the entire field, unless some effective method of eradication is followed. Cultivation, unless intensive, usually Is not effective since It tends to spread the underground parts and In­ fect the entire field. Digging these patches out with a fork is laborious and expensive. Chlorate sprays are effective and In comparison to other methods are I very economical of both labor and materlal. It Is advisable to become fatpUlar j with" the use of chlorates on an area of ] a few square rods before attempting their use on an. acre basis. Kinds of Chlorate*—There are sev­ eral kinds of chlorates, such as Atlaj clde, sodium chlorate, magnesium chlo­ rate and ixHassium chlorate. Atladde ' and sodium chlorate are the only chlo­ rates which are being used al the pres­ ent time for weed control. Atladde is considered safe to handle. Sodium chlorate is dangerous to handle unless proper precautions are taken. I n sodium chlorate is mixed with sul­ phur or with organic matter the pos­ sibility of a fire is greatly increased. Store this material so that it will re­ main clean and do not drop the can when handling. It is almost impossible to spray weeds without dampening the clothing with the spray. It the clothing so dampened is not imme­ diately washed, before it becomes dry. it becomes a serious Are hazard. Fric­ tion alone is sufficient to ignite such clothing, when it becomes quite dry. Rubber boots should be worn when us­ ing sodium chlorate spray and all clothing which has come in contact with the spray should be washed before it is dry. Sodium chlorate in the liquid form is not dangerous. Application—Dissolve from one to one-half pounds of chlorate in one gallon of water and spray on one square rod of area. Quack grass, bind weed and creeping now thistle usually re­ quire three applications, about thirty days apart. One application on these weeds may not be effective. The appll. cation should be repeated when the quack gr«K had made new top growth j and when the bind weed has come into j bloom. Repeat the applications until the weeds fall to produce top growth. Canada thistles treated when in bloom are usually killed by one or lard appli­ cations. Sodium chlorate should be applied 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&s material is required and a more even applica­ tion may be secured by spraying. Bpray cans should be Washed out immediately ____ _____ „ If this precaution is folafter using. ’^wod. chlorates will not be found Infurious to sprayers. Wood containers should not be used for storing chlorates in solution. The wood will take up the chlorate and may cause trouble later. 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. Mid-summer and earlv fall applications are compara­ tively effective. Not Poiaonoua—Neither At lac ide nor sodium chlorate is jx>isonous in small doecs. Livestock shoud be removed from the field when areas of a considerable size are to be treated. When small patches are treated, this precaution is Influence Upon the Land—It Is us­ ually not advisable to attempt to grow crops on the land the same reason that It is treated with chlorates. Prelimi­ nary tests Indicate that crop produc­ tion may be resumed the next season. STUBBS JOURNAL EXPRESSES VIEWS (Continued from page one) services ot Congressman John C. Ketcham. In the ten years that he has served lhe |xx>ple of this district Mr. Ketcham has grown steadily in im­ portance. He is listened to with re­ spect when he chooses to address the House, usually on matters pertaining to agriculture. At present he is fourth from the top on the large Agricultural Committee. His views-on the problems of the day are for the most part sound and sane. It is no exaggeration to say that Congressman Ketcham is far above the average in Intelligence and in his conception of loyalty to the in­ terests of his district. "Those districts all over the country, whether they be Republican or Demo­ cratic, which return their representa­ tives for term after term are confer­ ring a service upon themselves and up­ on the nation. They are represented in Congress by men who have standing and Influence in Washington. "As a matter of sound business prin­ ciple It pays to keep a man whose abili­ ty is known and trusted on th? Job. There should be no question about re­ turning John C. Ketcham to the House of Representatives." Il would be difficult to state In brief terms or in better language the reasons why this district should continue Con­ gressman Ketcham in the office he so ably fills. ’Die average man who em­ ploys anyone counts ability and ex­ perience os the prime essentials In the person whose services he may engage. Why should not the same wise course be taken with reference to a represen­ tative of lhe people of this district in congress? Congressman Ketcham's opponent would need four years to even get started in the work. A.t the end of that tjme he could not begin to do for this district and its people what Con­ gressman Ketcham Is able to do by reason of his 10 years' service and the fact that he "knows the ropes." has become so well.acquainted with the procedure, knows what is necessary to do and what ones of his fellow congressmen are necessary to enlist with him in order to get favors for his district. . We have every confidence that the people of this district will look upon this matter from the same broad view­ point. and will exercise the same good Judgment, that are reflected in the edi­ torial of lhe Sturgis Dally Journal. PAYING THE PRICE. Some of our fast growing cities are now paying the price of progress. Based on poor payments for ten months the cost of looking after the poor of Oak­ land county (Pontiac) for a year will reach the stupendous sum of >703.200. The county at large is alarmed at this annual poor bill and the Rochester Clarion closes an incisive editorial com­ ment in this fashion: Pontiac desired to rank third in the stele in population, and carried on an active "Pontiac Boosting Contest", and when the crash came, Pontiac also crashed and hit harder than any other city in the stele. She didn’t reach her goal of third city in the state, she has lost a good many citi­ zens. will lose many more, has thrown hundreds of people on the bounty of the county and is the direct cause of one of the highest taxed counties in the Union.—Charlotte Republican. FERTILIZER PAID WELL. When Paul Rood was county agent last spring, he selected a small plot of ground in a field of wheat on the farm of Carl Brodbeck, of Woodland, for a test of the value of ammonium sulphate us a fertilizer when applied in the spring. This ammonium sul­ phate was broadcast on the plot at the rate of 80 pounds per acre. The wheat on this particular plot, which was just an average of the en­ tire field, was kept separate from that of the rest of lhe field. When it was all threshed It was found that the yield per acre of the small plot was 18 per cent more than the rest of the field. This demonstrates the value of using ammonium sulphate when used in the manner explained above.

Tlie best proof of the progress made In Uris country since tlie war. both in industrial expansion and improved liv­ ing standards. is found in the amazing Increase in the production and use of electricity. Since 1822 electric output has In­ creased twelve times as fast as the population. As a result, we now use as much or more electricity than all the rest of the world combined. Last year total production reached a new high record of almost 100 billion kilowatt-hours, on appreciable increase over 1928. While the average revenue received per kQowatt-hour was 2.64 cents in 1928, it was 257 in 1929. Fuel, rather than water, remains the chief source of power in this country, and tlie industry has made a remark­ able record In raising the efficiency of operation. In ten years the amount of coal needed to produce one kilo­ watt-hour of power has been reduced from 3 2 to 1.8 pounds, and three times os much energy is now generated with but 37 per cent more fuel. The industry has faith in tlie future of America. Ito 1930 budget of 9913.­ 000,000 la the largest In its history. ' and six per cent greater than that of 1929.

July 28.—An adequate supply of good water is essential for the successful management of a dairy herd, la the conclusion reached by two Michigan State College men who have made tests of the amount of water consumed by dairy cows In a period of four months. . Meters placed on the Individual drinking bowls of the cattle enabled the investigators who were checking up on bovine drinking habits to tell how much water each cow drank. Milk con­ tains approximately 87 per cent of water so it is apparent that the high producing cow needs a large volume of water for the manufacture of milk as well as to maintain body health. Ten cows were used in the teat and their production of milk during the test period ranged from 3.437 pounds to 6,879 pounds. It was found that all of the'- cows req lured many more pounds of water than they produced jMunds of milk. The heaviest drinker needed a gallon of water for every 2.69 pounds of milk produced, and this ani­ mal consumed an average of 20.35 gal­ lons of water each day. Tlie most economical drinker among the cattle produced lhe least milk and lhe cow which made the heaviest Inroads on the water supply returned the greatest amount of milk but the amount of water which the cows drank is not an accurate gauge of their milk flow. Two animals which varied only 3.75 pounds in lhe amount of water consumed varied 734 pounds in ** “ the quantity of milk given.

WINTER POINTS OUT , BEST ALFALFA SEED First Cutting Confirms Previous Recommendations for Hardy Variety East Lansing, July 28—The records of the first cutting this year on the fields where the winter hardiness of the various strains of alfalfa are being tested by the college confirm the pre­ vious recommendations that Michigan farmers should use Hardigan. Grimm or Cossack for stands which are to be left several years and to use northern grown common if one of those three Is not planted. Arizona. Argentine, or Hairy Peru­ vian alfalfa seed is not adapted to Michigan conditions and will not sur­ vive the winters in this state. On the farm of Edward Donahue. Sterling, where one of the tests is conducted, Argentine alfalfa produced less than one-half ton per acre the first season after seeding and then was a complete failure. Arizona common, on tbe same farm, never produced a cutting after being seeded In 1928. Argentine yielded an average of .63 of a ton of alfalfa per year for two years on the Ernest Bailey farm at Prescott; Arizona common yielded 28 of a ton the first year after seeding and nothing the next year. Hardigan yielded an average of 1.14 tons on the Bailey farm and 220 on the Donahue farm. The yields for Grimm on lhe same farms was 1.24 tons and 1.89 tons. The use of unadapted alfalfa seed In Michigan jeopardizes tlie chances of getting adequate returns from the money spent in feeding an alfalfa crop.

In St, Louis, the credit Is largely given to effective school work, school patrols and strict enforcement of traffic laws by police; in San Fran­ cisco to scientific traffic studies, ade­ quate enforcement, safety work in schools and a continuous campaign of education by the press, radio stations and service clubs The National Safety Council pointe out one encouraging factor in the an­ alysis-eliminating the annual toll of deatlis due to the automobile, the na­ t tonsI death rate from all other acci­ dents has declined 30 per cent since 1913. LEAVE PRIVATE BUSINESS PRIVATE. “If it Is desirable to protect the people In their freedom and independ­ ence. if it is desirable to avoid the blighting effect of monopoly, supported by the money of the taxpayer, if it is desirable to prevent the existence of a privileged class. If it is desirable to shield public officiate from the influence of pro|Higanda and the acute pressure of Intrenched selfishness. If it is de­ sirable to keep the Government un­ encumbered and clean, with an eye single to the public service, we shall leave the conduct of our private busi­ ness with the individual, where it be­ longs. and not undertake to unload It on the government.”—Former Presi­ dent Calvin Coolidge.

Best by five Tests ! ITIES SERVICE experts have pro­ C duced what they were determined to produce—an oil that is “best by five tests”. It is the new Koolmotor Oil—lhe oil with 5 Point Balance. High grade Pennsylvania crude was se­ lected because of its recognized natural superiority. Then, months of long hard work, expensive new equipment, 68 years of petroleum experience and the resources of the giant billion dollar Cities Service organization were employed in producing this perfectly balanced motor oil. Not until Cities Service experts were con­ vinced that Koolmotor Oil was superior in each of the five tests of oil quality— viscosity, fire, flash, pour point and car­ bon residue—was a single drop ever offered for sale.

This naturally led to the supposition that Hastings and all points on the Corr-» sumera Co. mains might be favored with a supply of natural gas, sooner or later. The Banner reporter at once inter­ viewed Mr. Glen Brower of thia dty, district manager for the Consumers Co. tn tills territory. •Mr. Brower informs the Banner that the Consumers Power Co. agreement with producers and gas collecting con­ cerns around Mount Pleasant, does not mean that natural gas will be avail­ able at the present time at least, to customers on its gas system He said that there were some Indications that the Mount Pleasant field held some promise for development on a com­ mercial scale, and that the Consumers Company merely entered Into the con­ tract as a precautionary matter In the event that the Isabella field should de­ velop gas resources sufficient to supply Consumers Co. customers with gas. over a long term of years At present lhe Isabella field does not produce much more gas than Is required by the dty of Mount Pleasant alone. Thus it can be readily seen that much more natural gas must be produced if all of the Consumers customers are to be sup­ plied. It is a matter of satisfaction, how­ ever, to know that the Consumers Co. Is keeping "its eye on the Indicator." It has kept in dose touch with the vari­ ous oil and gas fields of Michigan, since the first strike of oil Ln the Saginaw valley, and has always been ready to step in and obtain contracts for nat­ ural gas wherever it gave promise of supply in a sufficient quantity for a term of years. BURGLARS RAIDED THREE HOMES SUNDAY A. M. Were Evidently After Money— Oot $10 From Home of W. M. Stebbins SELFISH MOTIVES NEED NOT HINDER REAL SERVICE Two Should Be Combined— Speaker Stressed World Peace as Rotary Aim * District Governor Olen Cowell, of Coldwater, visited the Hastings Rotary dub. which now holds its Monday noon meetings at lhe K. of P. Temple In the Fuller Block. This was the first visit of the new District Governor to Hastings. He was evidently favorably Impressed with lhe spirit and lhe ac­ complishments of the local club, and look occasion to pay them many fine compliments. The District Governor gave a master­ ly talk on what Rotary is and what It stands for. He started out by saying that we can­ not get away from the basic elements of human nature. Men and women act from selfish motives. They seek their own satisfactions ta what they do. TO attempt to educate thia element out of mankind would doom such effort to failure, because there it lx ta humanity: men and women are born with it as lhe motivating power of their lives. What Rotary seeks to do he said, is not to take away the thought of a dominant element of seeking individual satisfaction ta what one does; but to include with it the higher motive of pleasing and satisfying others ta our relations with them, and finding one's satisfaction and pleasure ta making that a part of one'a life also. This does not call for the alteration of human na­ ture; but It does call for motives that are higher than purely selfish motives— ; it calls for real service to others. The District Governor then gave a fine outline of what he believed each Rotarian can do and ought to do ta finding real satisfaction ta a motive that will includb satisfaction to others as well as to himself—service. Tills does not call for the re-making of human­ kind. It docs call for finding a higher satisfaction ta life, which seeks the good will ot others by real service to them, without losing sight of the fact that human nature is and always will be actuated by selfish motives. The Governor stressed the sixth object of Rotary as being one ■ that should have the heartiest approval and co-operation of j every Rotarian—International Peace. | There are now 153.000 Rotarians, who belong to nearly 3,400 dubs in 65 dif­ ferent nations of the world. Their number is Increasing. Those who be­ long to Rotary arc banded together by friendship, good will and a sincere desire to be helpful to others as well as to themselves. We have long since learned that the man who starts out to profit ta life, thinking of only his in­ dividual benefit and without a thought of the benefits he may confer, ts on the wrong track. We all realize—if we do not we should—that the prosiierity of any individual ta a community helps that community. Likewise the progress of any nat|pn of the world is a help to ail the rest. We are so constituted that we cannot monopolize all the benefits— we must share them. The prosperous nation has to share some of ita pros­ perity with other nations wmen may not be so fortunately situated. There Is now at work ta the world an army of 153.000 men. made up bf executives ta all kinds of occupations. Industries, professions and businesses.

' Sunday morning very early, some­ where around 1:30 to two o'clock, rob­ bers gained entrance to three houses in this dty. They were heard at other places but evidently feared discovery and left hurriedly. At the home of Roy Cordes they re­ moved a window. They were evidently frightened away before they got any­ thing. At Laurence Barnett's they opened the two front doors with a key and gained entrance to the house. Mrs. Barnett heard something and. thinking it might have been one of the children, called her son’s name. This evidently frightened the robbers, for a shuffling was heard downstairs and Mrs. Barnett awakened her husband. The two went to lhe front hall and found both doors wide open. They also found that Mrs. Barnett's pocketbook, which was left ta the hall, was missing. They stepped out­ side but could see no signs of the mar­ auders. The next morntag the pocket book, tom to pieces, was found on the door step of Aben Johnson's home across the street. Fortunately Mrs. Barnett had taken her cash out of the pocketbook^ so the robbers got nothing ______ for their trouble. At William Stebbins', next door to the Barnett home, they were more for­ tunate. They crept upstairs and took Mr. Stebbins trousers, which were th\‘Tth '”m- ■“'““S .bout >1» in eul> ln>m 1.U poekeu .nd lAf. fnlnnn An left thf. the trnitc^rc trousers n^atlv neatly folded on ,1 a chair downstairs.

We. therefore, have a peculiar condition in the market. Tiie corn crop will be so short that there will not be enough to supply the need* of our own country. There is a large surplus of wheat, both in the United Slates and Canada; and other wheat producing countries this year report an exportable surplus. In the Chicago markets a bushel of com sells at this writing for a little more than a bushel of wheat. This Is | an unusual situation and is brought about by the fact that there is not corn enough to supply the home demand, while there is more wheat than Amer­ ica can consume. If there were seme way by which America could be rid of her exporuble surplus, and retain only enough or a little less than enough i to supply the American demand for Sheat, UuR commodity would go to .50 in a very short time, but at pre*- । ent it is less valuable than com.

BOND ST. Wa/ URGES PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS ALONG STAYS HIGHWAYS. A state-wide demand for pedestrian fidewalks along th* highway has been launched in Michigan by the atate committee of the American Society for Municipal Improvements. under the chairmanship ot Commissioner John W. Reid, of Detroit. The appalling in­ crease of pedestrian slaughter on the open road has brought to a head the nation-wide demand for pedestrian rights on the highway, particularly through villages. parks, and scenic times which pedestrians have a right and a necessity of use. , "In spite of tiie fact that organized motordom has devoted lhe majority of its power and attention to the iniprovement of our highways for vehicular use. mankind Is still created with feet rather than rubber tires.” declared Commissioner Reid, in a communica­ tion to the League of Michigan Munici­ palities. According to Reid's communication, there are only two states of the entire Union whose law* permit state expense for grading, or sidewalk installation on highways. Michigan makes no provision for state expense, and the laws of this cvmmonwealth provide only meager town and county expenses for ^Ate highway sidewalks. "Hundreds of villages and towns in Michigan have inadequately protected thc interests of their citizens In per­ mitting state construction to be com­ pleted through their main thorough­ fares without adequate walk protection at the sides." declared Commissioner Reid in another communication to the Michigan Association of Road Commlsstoners and Engineers. "Particular­ ly at this time of the year when road stioulders are soft, pedestrian traffic through villages, parks and spots of scenic beauty is forced to travel at the risk of human life or wade through mud in the ditch." The majority of killings in the Unit­ ed States are pedestrian, and yet the majority of legislative consideration is given to motor traffic, according to a statement of the American Society For Municipal Improvements. With each year's highwa> appropriation becoming larger. Michigan is threatened with n network of traffic lanes which will eventually fill the complete right-ofway without any provision for petlestrians. According to a report of the Michigan committee in charge of this promotion, immediate steps must be taken to gain pedestrian right-of-ways a*, state expense, or county aid. The village citizen has a right to use the highway to his business center, and re­ turn without Jeopardizing human safe­ ty upon each such Journey. School children throughout the entire United States and particularly in Michigan are forced to helplessly tramp the roadways in the face of motor traffic which moves with no speed limit other than the reckless driving clause of the Michigan statute. Holland, and practically every Eurot>ean country which has reached a pop­ ulation density such as America is fast approaching, have learned the expedi­ ency of early sidewalk provision on main highways. According to Commis­ sioner Reid's communication addressed to six State organizations. "Now is the time lo most economically and safely look to the provision of this feature of public necessity." At the coming meeting of the Ameri­ can Society For Municipal Improve­ ments. the fortv-eight state committees of the United States will report back the progress of their organizations in arousing official and public interest in the provision of pedestrian right-ofway on important state roads.

Brucker. who ta a candidate for governor, ta not at all backward about letting it be known what hta policy will be If he shall be chosfn governor of this state. In public addresses he ta urging a vig­ orous enforcement of the taw and a much more stringent dealing with lhe criminal element, to safeguard the state's citizens. Mr. Brucker mentioned the recent notorious gang murders In Detroit as indicating what has been happening. These can bo construed os an ultima­ tum to the forces of justice, requiring Immediate action. The indifference of officials and the theory of "letting gangs shoot It out" was flayed and de­ clared by Mr. Brucker to be a shiftless attitude, giving criminals full sway. "The state cannot afford to let down but must meet this issue squarely," said Mr. Brucker. The Attorney General has made It very plain that, If he shall be elected governor, there will not be the promis­ cuous pardoning of criminals that toox place under the six years of Mr. Groes­ beck's governorship, which was a scandal and a direct incentive to crime. In fact it Invites crime when those who commit It can count on pardons being handed out by the governor. Mr. Brucker likewise has pointed out the specific need in Michigan for a state taxation system. Our present socalled "system" Is nothing but a patch­ work and has no well-balanced plan. If elected, Mr. Brucker pledges him­ self to call a special session of the leg­ islature to be devoted exclusively to working out a sensible, reasonable tax system for Michigan A special com­ mission of Inquiry into the matter of taxation ta now studying the tax prob­ lem. and expect* to be in a position to report Ila findings before the next meeting of the legislature in January 1931. While advocating rigid economy as necessary on the part of the state, Mr. Brucker declared it should not be a false economy, which produces stagna­ tion. We all recall how there was once that kind of false economy. Appro­ priations were held down.

Mr. Wilson said, "The declaration of policy In the Agricultural Marketing Act directs the Farm Board to raise lhe economic level of agriculture to that of other industries by eliminating specu­ lation. by eliminating wasteful and in­ efficient distribution, by preventing and controlling surpluses, and by encourag­ ing the development and organization of cooperative marketing organiza­ tions.” The Board member told his Farmers Day audience that six and one half million farmers have been marketing their farm products with a system which took one hundred years to de­ velop, and that It Is not an easy task to create a new system Immediately ro that the fanner will receive a larger share of the consumer's dollar. Provisions of the Marketing Act were quoted by Mr. Wilson to show that the Federal Form Board is practically limited to dealing through cooperative , organizations, and he said that this provision was wise as the number of farmers made it impossible to deal di­ rectly with individual farmers. | | Y.

RHONE 231S FRANK SACE believe our readers will be greatly kiterMtedas was the writer, in a sum­ mary of what Mr. Sigler had to say about these ten decisions. The first was in 1793, and Is known as the case of "Chisholm vs. the State of Georgia." Sult was brought by two citizens of Eouth Carolina, executors of a British creditor, against the state of Georgia. Tire state declined to appear. Attorney General Edmund Randolph masterfully represented the United States government In this matter. ] There was tremendous interest in this; very early case tn the Supreme Court, because of the Jealous regard for their own rights by the various stales. The j question was, whether the United States Supreme Court had any Juris- I diction In a matter that concerned a 1 state. The Supreme Court held that It । had; but it became apparent that it, would be unwise to have that court burdened with cases which might be brought by citizens of one state against another state. As a result of It there came the lllh amendment, which reads, "The Judicial power ot the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit In taw or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by cltizens.of an­ other state, or by citizen* or subject* of any foreign state." This amendment to the constitution expressly took from the United States Supreme Court any Jurisdiction in that class of cases and was a direct result of the decision. It also at once placed the seal ot approval by the highest court of the land that the United States Supreme Court did have Jurisdiction in matters that concentra the states. A good deal of excitement followed this decision and much criticism on the part of states rights men like Jefferson, but the decision stands and ta epoch­ making. The second of the epoch-making decisions was that of "Marbury vs. MadIson.” The facta in this case show that It came out of politics, which was un­ derstood and played for all It was worth in those good old days. A week before Thomas Jefferson became Presi­ dent, lhe organic act creating the Dlstrict of Columbia had been passed which provided foe the appointment by the President of justices of the peace for the counties of Washington and Alexandria. On March 2. just two days before Jefferson would be Preaident President Adams proceeded to appoint *42 of his own friends and partisans to these offices. Four commissions; how­ ever. were not delivered before President Jefferson took office, so he ordered those commissions withheld. He was outraged at the action of President Adams. The justices determined to test the legal right to withhold commissions by mandamus. The Supreme Court held that It had no right to issue the mandamus; that a President cannot authorise the secreiary of state to omit the performance of duties which are enjoined upon him by law; and that the secretary of state can, by proper mandamus. be com­ pelled to perform hta duties as pre­ scribed by taw. . One can hardly Imagine the wrath ot President Jefferson and hta party over this decision. The third decision was that of Dartmouth College vs. Woodward. It appears that on December 13,1769, Eleazer Wheelock and eleven others ob­ tained a charter from George in. King of England, granting perpetual rights to erect, in the Province of New Hampshire, Dartmouth College, for the education and instruction of the youth of the Indian tribes in this land, to­ gether with English youths and others. The legislature of New Hampshire, in cnarwr tMrtmoulh Collree. IncreMln, number of trustees, making certain political heads of the state trustees, etc. By virtue of this act Woodward, the defendant, gained control of cer­ tain of the books and records of the college. The trustees under thc orglnal charter Instituted proceedings to re­ claim them. The court held that the charter granted was a contract within the meaning of the clause ot the constitu­ tion of the United States. Article 1. section 10. which declares that no state shall make any taw Impairing the ob­ ligation of contract; holding also that the charter was not dissolved by the Revolution: holding also that a corpora­ tion. established for purposes of gen­ eral charity or education generaly. does not itself make It a public corporation liable to the control of the state legis­ lature. , In this suit Daniel Webster appeared for the college. Mr. Sigler quoted an opinion of Jertenon, which HroMlr cHUeUod the Sufrreme Court ana also from Web­ ster's argument supporting It. Chief Justice John Marshall’s open­ ing words. In making this famous de­ ctalon, were: "The Court can be Insen­ sible neither to the magnitude nor deli­ cacy of this question. On the Judge* of this Court is Imposed the high and solemn duty of protecting, even from legislative violation, those con­ tracts which the Constitution of our country has placed beyond legislative control; and, however irksome the task may be, this ta a duty from which we dare not shrink.’* This decision came at an opportune time, for public corporations were be­ coming a factor in the commerce of the country. Railroads and insurance cor­ porations were, within the next fifteen years, to. become a prominent field for capital Investment. The assurance which this decision gave to investors that right* granted by state legisla­ ture* were henceforth to be secure against popular or partisan vacillation, and capricious, political or fraudulent change of legislative policy, greatly en­ couraged the development of corporate business from that day to this. The fourth decision was that of "McCulloch vs. Maryland," Instituted os an act of debt to recover a penalty Make Your Start This Wee Don’t Let Another Week Slip Away From You Without Taking This Important Step OPEN AN Interest - Earning Savings Account After Making the Start You’ll Find It Easier Each Pay Day to Add to Your Growing Account!

The sWt was started In the state courts, which fa­ vored the state's right to tax lhe United States bank notes. , In 1818 the United States Supreme Court heard the case and the argu­ ments made by great men like Daniel Webster. William Pinkney and others. The Court held as follows: 1. Upholding the power of Congress ‘ ‘ the bank as a federal 2. Sustaining the exclusive right of Congress to control such federal agency. 3. Denying the right of the state to Interfere with the federal government, by taxing such an agency. 4. Holding the state tax law Invalid. The decision was by Chief Justice Marshall. Mr. Sigler explained that one could hardly conceive now the intense inter­ est in this case at that time and the bitter feeling aroused when the high­ est court in the land settled for all time that a state is subordinate to the nation in matters of federal legisla­ tion. The fifth outstanding case was the Dred Scott vs. Sanford case. Dred Scott, a negro, began a suit against the widow of his former master. In the Missouri court*, based on the ground that his former master. Dr. Emerson, had taken him into Illinois, then into thc Louisiana territory (now Minnesota) which had then become the Northwest Territory under the Ordinance of 1787 and that, under die Missouri compromise act. he had be­ come a free man, when later his mas­ ter took him back Into the slave state of Missouri. He first obtained in the lower court a decision in his favor; but the supreme court of Missouri held that, under the laws of Missouri, he re­ sumed his character as a slave when he returned into that commonwealth. The case was carried through the various federal court* to the United States Su­ preme Court. Tiie leading question in­ volved was whether a free black man is a citizen of the United States, so that he has a standing in the courts of the United States. The next question was whether a slave, cafried voluntarily by his master into a free stale and re­ turning voluntarily with his master to hl*-home. 1* a free man by virtue of such temporary residence in a free state. Third, whether the eighth sec­ tion of the Missouri Act of 1820, pro­ hibiting slavery North of latitude 38 degrees and 20 mln.. Is constitutional or not. Chief Justice Taney delivered the opinion in this case, holding first that a negro could not be a citizen ot the United States. Second, that congress had no power to exclude slavery from any territory. Third, that the Mis­ souri Compromise was unconstitutional. One justice strongly dissented. It was largely this decision, which Chief Justice Taney wrote, hoping that it would avert the threatening war clouds in this country, that divided the country sharply on the slavery issue, and resulted in the Civil war. The case was decided in 1857. The sixth case was the “State of Texas vs. White," and was given In 1889. Texas was admitted into the Union as a state December 27, 1845. By this fact the people of Texas became in­ vested with all the rights and subject to al! the responslbilties and duties of the original states under the Consti­ tution. The United States government issued to Texas 810,000.000 tn bonds. In denominations of 81000 each, tn pay­ ment of certain boundary disputes. Tex­ as continued to be represented in con­ gress until 1861; then acting upon the states rights theory that a state had a perfect right to secede If It so desired. Texas seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy. When the state seceded those in au­ thority obtained possession of some of the bonds issued by'the federal govern­ ment to the state of Texas. Tiie origi­ nal agreement was that these bonds must be endorsed by the governor of the state in order to be negotiable. The hew Texas legislature passed a law to remove this requirement and make the bonds negotiable without such endorse­ ment. After the Civil war. a new state gov­ ernment for Texas formed under the Federal Constitution, instituted an original suit before the Supreme Court, claiming these bonds as the property of the state and asking Injunctive relief restraining the defendant White, who had purchased some of -the bonds, sold while Texas belonged to the Confed­ eracy, from receiving payment from the national government. The questions Involved were: Did Texas, in consequence of these acts, cease to be a state? If not. did the state cease to be a member of the Union? Did the title to the bonds pass by the action of the military board? The Supreme Court In this case held that that court had jurisdiction in the matter, because President Lincoln had taken necessary steps to form a new state government. It held that a contract made by an Insurgent mili­ tary board in aid of the Rebellion, is void. It held that an act of suclq insur­ gent state legislature, intended to aid a Rebellion, can be given no effect by the Supreme Court. Therefore, bo­ cause the state had no right to sell thc bonds in the manner It did. the pur­ chasers of the bonds could obtain no right or title to them. ' Tiie effect of this decision was ta definitely enunciate the principle, set­ tled by the winning of the Civil war, that a state baa no right to secede from the Union. Tiie seventh in thc list is known as the "Slaughterhouse Cases.” Because of It* location and the con­ sequent difficulty of maintaining sani­ tary slaughtering conditions, the dty of New Orleans gave what was a prac­ tical monopoly of slaughtering to an incorporated company, which thereby became a virtual monopoly of that business. The butchers qf New Or- leans, whose business was ended by this proceeding, brought suit, claiming that rights guaranteed by the 14th Amend­ ment to the Constitution were violated by state statute, which they claimed abolished the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, also deprived them of property without due process of law and denied them the equal protection of the laws. It was urged that the slaughterhouse act was unlawful, because it Infringed the longestablished rights of thc Independent* to their labor and their property. The court held that the I4th Amend­ ment recognized two kinds of citizens, state and federal, and their privileges (Continued on Page Ten) MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE CO. telephone home frequently while away . . .

"During this entire period of time, I was subject to frequent vomiting spells. I remain­ ed hungry, even after meals, and par­ ticularly so around midnight These attacks of indigestion caused me much misery because of the swollen condi­ tion of my stomach. My liver was bad. too, and I felt so miserable that I feared I would have to stop working. *‘I had great sucpess with Konjola. I have taken four bottles and all my health troubles have been corrected. I am no longer subject to attacks of in­ digestion nor do I have vomiting spells after meals. I eat what I wish with­ out fear of discomfort, and I feel much better In every way." Konjola should be taken over a period of from six to eight weeks and Is rec­ ommended for ailment* of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and rheu­ matism, neuritis and nervousness. Konjola is sold in Hastings at The Rexall drug store, and by all the best druggists In all towns throughout this entire section.—Adv.

LAID RIGHT THIS TIME Expense to Property Owner! to Be Very Small Compared With Cement Paving The council on Friday evening took up the proposition of paving 30 blocks of streets and their intersections with Tarmac. There will be three blocks on South Michigan avenue; two blocks on West Mill; live blocks on South Church; five blocks on West Grand; four blocks on South Park; three blocks on South Washington; two blocks on West Center; four blocks on East State Hood street and two blocks on West Walnut. City Engineer Bert Sparks presented his estimates for the paving of these streets, the estimated cost for the en­ tire 30 blocks being 18,751.38. The city, as we understand it, will pay for the paving of 20 feet in the center of the street while the property owners stand for the balance and the curb and gut­ ter on each side of the street. It Is proposed to put in this Tarmac paving in the most approved manner for that type of paving, which will be. as we understand It, two applications of the Tarmac, and as fast as Hie Tarmac Is applied, pea gravel will be spread, so that the Tarmac will not have a chance to run into the gutters as It did in the messy job that" 1 to Halt Car Drivers Broadway and Green streets has been the scene of several accidents. Green street west of Broadway Is a trunk line and Broadway north of Green Is a trunk line; so these are through streets. The council voted Friday even­ ing that it would have three bars across the pavement painted on South Broad­ way at the intersection with Green also on Easl Green street at the in­ tersection with Broadway, as a warn­ ing to automobillsta that the street ahead of them is a through street and they must therefore come to a stop.

You hear quite a lot these dfiys about the continued drouth and how it is go­ ing to cut the food supply short. But we’ve all lived in this old U. S. A., some of us for a good many years, and NONE of us HAVE STARVED TO DEATH. More than that probably NONE OF US WILL. In all times of DROUTH, good old “bossy** has always been one of our chief mainstays, and the family that has plenty of good, clean, wholesome milk, with some nice brown-crusted bread to go along with It, can look starvation in the face and SMILE. There is no better food than good pure milk. In fact it's the PERFECT food. It is so good and so perfect a food, that some of the best Amer­ ican scientists, with the good will of the people of this country at heart, have felt JUSTIFIED in devoting their talent in thorough research work with the idea of providing people with good, pure milk. The Germ Theory No matter whether we like to or not, we must all believe in the GERM THEORY,, or dispute what Science and Research have done towards the eradication of Tuberculosis, Small Pox, Diphtheria, and many other dis­ eases. Many of the older people can remember when Small Pox almost meant a sure ticket to the cemetery. Older residents of Hastings will recall the Diphtheria epidemic in Hastings, when 50 or more residents of our then "little town" died in a very few weeks. What has Science done?. Research worker* got busy, and "isolated" theinfinitesimal bug, or germ, that caused Small Pox and Diphtheria, then they compounded a "serum" to kill off the bugs. The result is that today if you have Small Pox or Diphtheria, or any one of numerous other formerly fatal diseases, you are not considered “ju*t as good ps dead.*' No; your family doctor injects some Serum into your body, or vaccinates you, and that's all there is to it. Having those diseases creates no fear or alarm because the Serum does the work. The Scientific Plan Is Being Followed Regarding Milk Recognizing that MILK is the perfect food, especially so for growing children, Science has taken a hand in research work to guarantee people good, pure, wholesome milk. They found that TWO chief diseases were prevalent among milch cows—TUBERCULOSIS and CONTAGIOUS ABORTION, it has been found that milk from cows infected with Tuberculosis is apt to carry the germs of the disease to the humans who drink it. Streptococcus Sore Throat and Undulant fever have been traced DIRECTLY to infected cow*. What Is Pasteurized Milk? And Why Is Milk Pasteurized? In investigating this problem of sup­ plying people with the very best pos­ sible milk, the research workers found some quite peculiar FACTS. They found that germs increase very rapid­ ly in warm milk just as it is taken from the cow. They found that prompt COOLING of the milk arrested the in­ crease of those germs. They further found that heating the milk to a tem­ perature of about 142 degrees and holding it there for 30 minutes, KILLS THE DISEASE GERMS. The results of the findings of these scientific re­ search workers is the very BASIS of PASTEURIZED MILK. In the process of Pasteurizing, just as soon as the milk is taken from the cow it is very capfefully strained as it is run -through a machine that quickly cools it. This is done to prevent germs from increas­ ing. After the milk. is thoroughly COOLED it is heated and steadily maintained at a temperature of 142 degrees for 30 minutes. It has been . found that that DESTROYS DISEASE GERMS IN MILK. After this, the milk is again cooled, placed into sterilized bottles, sealed, and kept in a cooler where the temperature is steadily maintained at just above the freezing point. THIS IS ALL DONE AUTOMATIC­ ALLY AND TOUCHED THE BY MILK HUMAN IS NOT HANDS FROM THE TIME IT LEAVES THE COW UNTIL IT IS DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME IN SEALED BOTTLES. We Cordially Invite You To Inspect Our Plant We have just as good and complete an equipment to produce Pasteurized Milk as there is in this state or any other. There may be larger equip­ ments, but no better or more complete. We felt that the people of this city,' ' and this county, were entitled to the ■ very best quality of Pasteurized Milk produced, handled under the most sanitary conditions, and sold at a price as low as it could be sold. We are proud of ofir herd which is TB tested, blood tested, and take pride in the fact that constantly iricreasing sales indicate that our efforts are appreci­ ated. We cordially invite YOU to in­ spect our plant AT ANY TIME that may be convenient for you. Such a visit will not only give you a better idea of our efforts to produce the best QUALITY of milk under the most san­ itary conditions, but it will also give you an opportunity to inspect 4 most - modern dairy equipment.

These cups arc used in nnectlon with automatic drinking bowls, and attach to the stanchions within convenient reach of the cows.

Many dairymen find that the definite increase In milk flow will pay for the low cost of the cups in about two months time. Much investigation .has been made to determine the best design and shape of salt cups, It has been found that cows will waste much of the mineral If the containers are shallow and wide topped. Consequently the tendency is to make the cups with rather narrow openings so that the cow can reach the salt with her tongue only. MAPLE LEAF GRANGE NEWS.

FART URGE FARMERS NOT TO BUSH WHEAT TO MARKET —SOW LESS NEXT FALL \ MORE PROFIT TO FEED WHEAT THAN SELL IT Following These Suggestions Will Mean Higher Price in | 1930 and 1931 The following statement was broad- । cast by Alexander Legge. Chairman.; Federal Farm Board over radio sta- I tion WL8. Chicago. HL, at 13:45. day- | light saving time. Monday. Aug. 4. 1830: "The present severe drought has' reached a point where the shortage of feed and forage threatens serious tosses < to livestock growers and dairymen over j n wide area. The hay crop Is the small­ est we have had in years. In some sec­ tions the com crop will be reduced 40 or 50 per cent or even more. Hay stocks are being fed out. and the prospect for sufficient winter supplies of feed is not encouraging. Under these condi­ tions there Is a danger that farmers will dispose of beef cattle and dairy ani­ mals at a sacrifice. If this movement Is not headed off it may mean that a large number of animals In poor condi­ tion will be forced on the livestock markets, and still lower levels of live­ stock prices. "While this situation has been de­ veloping we have been faced for some weeks with an excessive carry-over of wheat, with continued low wheat prices. Receipts at several of the terminal markets have continued to break all records, despite the fact that if the average grower would carry what he now has on hand over to tbe next sea­ son he would have a supply at a price substantially less than it would cost him to produce an equal number of bushels in 1931. "There is absolutely no relief possible from this situation through any of the plans that have been suggested con­ templating the disposal of the surplus abroad at prices below the domestic levepMany of the most important wheal Importing countries of the world’ how have legislation in effect that could be applied to prevent or penalize any such action on the part of the growers of this country, and others are seriously considering such action. As we have exactly the same legislation in effect here to protect the American producers, we can not reasonably com­ plain of other nations taking similar action to protect their growers, bearing In mind always that practically every nation has wheat growers of Its own. "The price of wheat has reached a point where we can and should con­ sider wheat from the standpoint of its value as a feed for livestock. The large visible supply of wheat has been a de­ pressing influence on the market. The shortage of feed crops and forage points a way out. Much as we may object to disposing of high quality wheat as feed for livestock Instead of for human con­ sumption, common sense tells Us it Is the thing to do, confronted as we are with a national shortage of several hundred million bushels of corn and surplus of wheat selling at very low prices. We ca nsdvantageously dispose of a good deal of this wheat as feed. "Wheat is a very satisfactory teed, particularly for cattle and hogs. At approximately the same price, wheat has a higher feeding value than com. The Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station states that with com at 85 cents, a bushel of wheat has a livestock feeding value of 81.11. "In general the agricultural colleges recommend that wheat used for feed be coarsely ground and fed as part of a ration Including silage, forage crops, or coarse grains, or an equivalent. In­ structions as to the best method of feeding wheat can be obtained by any farmer from his County Agent, or by writing to the Agricultural College of his state. Under existing conditions, at anything like lhe present prices of wheat and corn, a large part of the surplus wheat can be profitably used as feed for livestock. Reports are reaching us that some farmers are selling their wheat and buying feed. Where wheat stocks are still on farms In livestock producing areas, it will be good business to hold such stocksand feed them out. Local elevators may And a ready market for wheat as feed In the local community. The livestock feeder who Is holding up the purchase of animals because of the □respective com shortage will do well to consider the purchase of wheat at present prices to meet his usual re­ quirements for grain for feeding pur"Whcn herds of either beef cattle or dairy stock are unduly depleted by such conditions as are now threatening, it takes years to work back to a normal position. Bankers and business men in agricultural communities are warrant­ ed in extending every assistance pos­ sible to help cattle growers and dairy­ men to purchase the feed necessary to maintain their herds. The Farm Board receives thousands of letters from business men expressing sympathy for the farmer and Interest in the agri­ cultural problem, and asking what they can do to help. By rendering aid to the livestock men in this emergency they will be helping in a very substan- "While the use of wheat for feeding purposes will help In meeting the pres­ ent emergency, the growing of wheat as a feed for livestock can not be con­ sidered as a profitable enterprise under normal conditions. The only way to Improve the wheat price situation per­ manently Is to work definitely toward reduction of the annual wheat produc­ tion of Ute United .Blates.

Mrs. Melissa Dietrich accompanied the Rosenbergers home Tuesday A. M. lor a visit at their home In Waterveliet. and will visit some of the sights In that part of the state. A very large crowd was in town Sat­ urday evening. The weather was fine, following the nice shower, and the band led by Clemens furnished by H. G. Beneway, and the prizes given away by him. was an attraction that was much enjoyed by all. N. C. Thomas in his stories and songs, assisted by Mr. Lowing, in the singing, created much amusement.

W A Department Store for You.t CanOur costs are absorbed by several different lines instead of one. We sell the complete Firestone line, in­ cluding Tires—Tubes—Batteries— Brake Lining—Rims and Accesso­ ries. Instead of buying these items from several different places, we get them all from one place on one thipping order—one freight bill—one handling. Our Costs Are Lower Your Savings Greater Firestone leads in bringing down prices. Firestone always leads in new lire improvements and builds more miles into tires than any other manufacturer. Every advantage Firestone has in world wide re* sources—buying rubber and cotton at the lowest prices — is put right back of us for lhe benefit of our cus­ tomers. Result — you get more in value for less in price. The name “FIRESTONE” on every tire is the pledge of the manufacturer that the tire you buy is the beat you can ob­ tain for the price you pay.

Both of these treatments, one for killing the Germ* from a Mad-Dog bite and the other for killing the DISEASE GERMS in RAW MILK, were discov­ ered and given to the world by LOUIS PASTEUR, one of the world'* greate»t men in Scientific Research. Can YOU say that he wa* RIGHT in hi* Pasteur treatment for Mad Dog bite, and WRONG in hi* Treatment of Raw* Milk—known a* Pasteurization ot Milk? . When Scientific Research brought out the “Germ Theory" a number of yeahs ago, all the comic writers as well a* people generally, used to "Poo Hoo" at it, and makq fun of it. Peo­ ple just couldn't believe in any new­ fangled fad about' those little living organisms called "Germs," because they couldn't see them with their nak­ ed eyes, and "seeing is believing" with too many of us. If we could have peered through the powerful micro­ scope of a Pasteur and have been en­ dowed with his scientific mind it might have helped some. But the "Germ Theory” survived, despite all the caustic flings at it because it is ETERNALLY RIGHT, and has grown stronger with the years. It Is Sometimes Hard to Overcome Old Ideas and Old Prejudices, But in the End We Must Yield to Science Any man who claims he doesn't be­ lieve in the "Germ Theory,” and is bitten by a Mad Dog, PROVES by his VERY FIRST ACT that he really DOES believe in the Germ Theory if he is a sane, sensible man and doesn't want to die an awful death in a few short weeks. What is the first thing that a sensible man‘does when he is bitten by a Mad Dog? He takes the first train for Ann Arbor and takes the Pasteur treatment for rabies. What is the Pasteur treatment for "rabies" or mad-dog bite? It'* noth­ ing but a serum treatment, discovered by Louis Pasteur, that KILLS THE DEADLY GERMS injected into the blood from the bite of a mad dog. If this Pasteur treatment is given in time the person bitten will recover, and suffer no ill-effects, because the Pas­ teur treatment KILLS ALL THE DEADLY RABIES GERMS that the blood would carry to all parts of the body, and which in a few week* would cause the victim to suffer a ter­ rible death from rabies. What Scientific Research Men Found Regarding Raw Milk Led to Louis Pasteur’s Discovery of “Pasteurization” of Milk The so-called “Pasteurization" ot Milk wa* so named in honor of Louis Pasteur, the discoverer of the process. Scientific investigation has revealed beyond the shadow of doubt, that RAW MILK i* a CARRIER OF DIS­ EASE GERMS; that these disease germs rapidly multiply in WARM RAW MILK; that the longer that warm raw milk stands the more rap­ idly these disease germs multiply. Epidemics of fever and streptococci sore throat have been traced DIRECT­ LY to the milk supply. Because of the fact jhat milk is recognized as "the perfect food," and of its wide use in our daily Jives, Louis Pasteur set his great scientific mind,to work to MAKE MILK SAFE for humanity to use. The result is the "Pasteurization" of Milk named after its discoverer, Louis Pas­ teur. What Did Louis Pasteur Find? He found that RAW MILK is a car­ rier of DISEASE GERMS, just as he found that the froth from a mad dog carries the germs of rabies. He fur­ ther found that COOLING Raw Milk as soon as it is taken from the cow greatly CHECKS the increase of dis­ ease germs. He found, that after thor­ oughly cooling the milk, that HEAT­ GREES and holding it there for THIR­ TY MINUTES absolutely KILLED ALL DISEASE GERMS. After the milk is heated for thirty minutes it is then automatically COOLED and put in carefully STERILIZED BOTTLES and CAPPED without the milk being even touched by human hands. After this process, the bottled milk is placed . and kept in a large cooler where the temperature is constantly held at JUST ABOVE THE FREEZING POINT. Thia COMPLETES the pro­ cess of Pasteurization, and briefly tells what we have done to provide the people of this city and county with a supply of rich, clean, wholesome milk, of a QUALITY as good as can be found anywhere, and which we sell at a price WAY BELOW what you would have to pay in a larger city. To pro­ vide thia for you has meant a big in­ vestment in Sanitary Machinery, ex­ pensive to install and maintain. But it MUST be had to maintain a supply of Pasteurized Milk that will be SAFE FOR YOU seven days a week and 365 days a year. Don't get any idea that Pasteurized Milk is Boiled Milk. It is NOT. Milk boils at 212 degrees. Pas­ teurization requires only 142 degrees to KILL DISEASE GERMS and does not effect the QUALITY or the TASTE or the AMOUNT of the CREAM or the MILK. As A Mother, You Fee( That Tjiere Is Nothing Too Good for Your Children You take every precaution against DISEASE GERMS that these most pre­ cious little lives, entrusted to your care, may develop into sturdy, healthy youngsters, and gro'w up with strong physiques that will enable them to take a real part in the world's affairs. You feel that it is your DUTY to do so. You are careful to see that every PARTICLE of food is made SAFE be.- fore it passes their lips. You see that vegetables are thoroughly CLEANED and COOKED. You remove the pro­ tective covering from fruits; nuts are shelled; you are satisfied that your drinking water is safe to use. Health Authorities in al! the leading large cities have demanded that all supplies of milk coming into their cities shall be carefully PASTEURIZED. HOW ABOUT YOUR MILK SUPPLY? Are You As Careful About the Prevention of Disease From That Source As You Are About the Safety of Other Foods for Your Family? Think this over. Better still, jump into your car and come out and inspect our Dairy Barns a* to cleanliness and sanitation, and inspect our sanitary me­ chanical equipment and plant, where we produce and Pasteurize our milk. It would please us, and at the same time give you a better idea of the limit to which we have gone, to provide you with the the BEST PASTEURIZED MILK—the best food known. ■ The Highlands Dairy ROBERT W.

In 1928 the Senate pa&ied the Norris ■ Bill by a vote of 48 to 3?. and theHouse of Representatives pasted the . same Bill by a very large majority and 1 Ex-President Coolidge "pocket vetoed" ' lhe Bill. Representative Ketcham, and 1 all other Michigan Representatives, ex- I ceptlng one, voted for the Bill. Senator I Vandenberg voted AGAINST the Bill. I Senator Norris reintroduced his Bill in the hew Congress under President Hoover, and the same Bill was passed by the Senate by a larger majority (45 to 23),-and when this Bill reached the House of Representatives, the "Powers that be" comprising not more than five men of that great Represent­ ative body, refused to permit the Nor­ ris Bill to be taken up and voted on in the House of Representatives. Why?— Are Representatives Longworth (the Speaker of the House). Tilson (Floor Leader), and Snell (Chairman of Rules Committee), vested with more power than the other 432 Representatives. Senator Couzens* position appears to I be that, since the People’s money built the Muscle Bhoals project, the people should have the benefit of the same instead of permitting the Power Trust to exploit the people with the people's investment. Senator Vanden­ berg took the position in June. 1928. a/ follows: "I prefer private to public auspices In the management of business. I should prefer that Muscle Shoals be operated on a lease. But if no adequate lease is available—and this seems to be the situation—I am entirely prepared to approve the Government's operation of Muscle Shoals as a last resort. We seem to have reached the “last resort." Tlie Government has much more than *100,000,000 invested at this point, and it is Inexcusable that It should be per­ mitted to lie Idle. I would have voted for the Norris Bill (Government op­ eration) without the Cove Creek de­ velopment super-imposed upon it. If In the meantime no new and adequate leasing alternative shows up. I will support the same proposition on the same sort of a basis in lhe next Con­ gress, if I am a member of it." The above written paragraph is tak­ en from a letter written lo me by Senator Vandenberg, June 27. 1928. Nevertheless, he voted against the Norris BBi passed this Spring by vole of 45 vCzt: Please understand. Mr. Vandenberg two yeori ago voted in favor of the "Flood Control" legislation of the lower Mississippi. Yet. immediately after said vote he voted against the Norris Bill because the Bill contained the Cove Creek Dam development, (which de­ velopment would be a part of the Flood Control program of the lower Missis­ sippi). The construction of Cove Creek Dam has long hod a place in the re­ commendations made by the Army engineers for the complete develop­ ment of the Tennessee River and its tributaries. The site is about 300 miles from the Muscle Shoals Wilson Dam. The Cove Creek Development means:— 1. Doubling the amount of power at Wilson Dam without any additional coat at Wilson Dam. her stater.

In the column to the right arethe figures of a deal which illustrates the point and proves it in dollars and cents. One car APPARENTLY was $140 lower in price than Essex. But look into the whole deal, and you find Essex actually LOWER in price, besides being by far the larger, roomier, finer automobile in every way. Examine the trade-in we can allow you. Remember, our business is not so laid out that we must take your used car from you at less than it is worth. We can give you its full value.

Let us show you a REAL price comparison— an automobile-buying proposition that will appeal to your business and thrift sense, Get our finance terms—get all details. Have a car you are proud to own—and money, too. ESSEX STUDY THESE FIGURES Thi» deal started when the buyer told ui that Essex waa the car he wanted, but apparently for reasons of thrift he must buy a car which was offered at a lower list price.

S. livestock exchange, and many other organizations. Men of national repu­ tation in the livestock and animal dtseaaea world are scheduled to speak at the banquet. Michigan is said to be the first dairy state to be given the accredited rank­ ing. North Carolina and Maine are two other states already accredited, but both have but a relatively small number of dairy cattle. Accreditation means that Bovine Tuberculosis Infection has been , reduced to less than one-half of one jHT.cent for the entire state. Tuberculosis eradication work was startl'd in Michigan in 1017. according 1 to E. L Anthony .head of the M. S. C. dairy department. Since that time 185.000 herds numbering more than 1,500.000 head have been tested, with ‘58.324 reactors found.and slaughtered during this time. Aside from the health value to con­ sumers.of milk, dairy cattle from ac­ credited areas are said to command higher prices. Professor Anthony es­ timates the value of dairy cattle sold from Michigan to other dairy centers nt $1,500,000 annually. Tlio demand for ' Michigan cattle because the state has been known to l>e relatively free from t uberculosis has been great.

The reason for this is that it doM not contain sufficient lime. Kelley Island Meal corrects this deficiency and is particularly effective in stimulating the growth of such crops as Alfalfa, Clover, Corn, Oats, Sweet Clover and Wheat. The organic matter in the soil is not destroyed through the use of lime, on the contrary, decay and assimilation are hastened and the soil enriched. This profitable Meal is sold on guaranteed analysis (both chemical and sieve tests), so that there is never any question as to every shipment coming up to this high standard. NORTH MARTIN CORNERS.

Smith. 38S 1 North Saginaw street, Pontiac. "In I the latter part of 1928. due to long I working hours in the shop, improper I food and lack of sleep. I gradually lost more than sixty pounds. I was in a pitiable condition and such food as 1 ate did not digest properly. This was due. no doubt, to my rundown condi­ tion. At the tune. Konjola was recom­ mended I was in a state of mind bor­ dering on melancholy. “After taking this miracle medicine for about six months my friends did not recognize ine. I had gained baric all my lost weight. I am now a picture of health. When I started taking KonJola I weighed 140 pounds; I now weigh 204. I hare not taken Konjola for eight months and I still feel great. Every word of this statement Is true and I can support the facts by many witnesses who have known me for year*." What could be added to such a sin­ cere statement? Is it not logical to believe that Konjola can do as much for you—for everyone?

At one time he was connected with the University of Michigan, later went to New York City and was made Health Officer of that city. Dr. Copeland says:— "COMPLETE PASTEURIZATION OF CHICAGO'S MILK SUPPLY HAS EF­ FECTED THE SAVING OF THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BABIES." "In my opinion. PASTEURIZATION IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR THE MILK SUPPLY OP ANY CITY." DR. ABRAHAM JACOBI, formerly of Columbia University, says:— DR. MILTON J. RO8ENAU of Harvard Univer­ sity. says:— “THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE CASE OP INFANTS IS JUST THIS— USE NO RAW MILK.” "PASTEURIZATION SAVES LIVES AND PREVENTS SICKNESS. PASTEURIZA­ TION IS THE CHEAPEST FORM OF LIFE INSURANCE THAT THE CUSTOMER CAN TAKE OUT." DR. CHAS. J. HASTINGS. Medical Officer of Health of Toronto. Canada, says:— “It is IncAicelvable how any thinking per­ son will. In the light of modem knowledge. Jeopardize his own reputation by advancing arguments against the scientific Pasteuriza­ tion at milk. In my Judgment, any mu­ nicipality failing to safeguard its milk sup­ ply by means of scientific Pasteurisation Is. In the light of modern knowledge. GUILTY OF CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE." DR. E. V.

REASONS FOR THIS ARE CLEAR AND ARE ACCEPTED BY ALL WHO ARE IN A POSITION AS A RESULT OF SCI­ ENTIFIC TRAINING TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES. I HAVE FOR YEARS INSISTED THAT EVERY ' CITY SHOULD HAVE ITS MILK PAS­ TEURIZED. AND UNDER CONDITIONS WHERE THE CITY HEALTH OFFICER CAN EFFECTIVELY SUPERVISE THE , PROCESS." I DR. CHAS. E.

When Frank D- Fitzgerald, business manager of the State Highway Depart­ ment. was here Monday to speak to the Rotary club, he was asked about that matter, which he said is a cooperative -flurt on tht part of the stile and ntipcnsl highway departments to ascer­ tain how much of the traffic over trunk ! lines originn’cs in the larg-T clti?3 and how much >f it o n es from local town­ ships or towns. This* would give the slate n better opportunity to Judge of that matter, which has been a much debated question. Tlie claim has been made tlut three-fourths of tlie traffic on trunk lines originated in the larger cities—that is. cities from 10.000 up. This survey of the traffic will definitely settle that question.

Horton's Shoe Store Hastings, Michigan Be on the Safe Side Don’t Cheat Yourself �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, INS Judge McPeek’s Talk to Donald Doyle When He Imposed His Sentence The Banner went to press last week before tlie sentence to the Ionia Refor­ matory was given by Judge McPeek to Donald Doyle, who had confessed embenlament. We believe that what the court said u> him upon that occasion la worthy of careful reading and thought by all of us. We therefore re­ produce from the official records of the court what was Mid by Judge McPeek io Mr. Doyle when the sentence was Imposed. Mr. Bauer: "If lhe Court please. Donold E. Doyle having pleaded guilty in this court to the offense of embezzle­ ment, hl* plea having been accepted by the Court, I now move the Court to sentence. The Court: "Have you anything to say. Mr. Doyle, why you should not be sentenced at this timet" Mr. Doyle: "No. sir." The Court: "It goes without saying that the Court deplores deeply this situation. Only by forgetting the status that you have In this community is It possible to talk of the matter In a de­ tached way. and I suppose that is the manner In which a court should ap­ proach such a case. "Knowing you, knowing your father as I do, what your name has stood for In this community, what your conduct has brought io you and your family, it Is a picture that Is deplorable. "1 have no disposition to scold you. or anything of that nature. You are a man of some maturity, good Intelli­ gence, and you are Just as fully aware of what this means.—more fully aware of it, In some respects—than the Court. I cannot pass it without making some comments, because when a young man of your attainments and opportunity defaults in his good behavior, and find* himself in this predicament, it calls for some comment. "Much was expected from you, being in the position of trust which you held, representing all that you did. It is a tragedy that your hopes, and the hopes of those interested in you, should be dashed in this fashion, and yet. as I have Mild to your father.—I don't know but I said it to you.—there is hope, per­ haps the reasonable ground for ex­ pectation, based on lhe character that It seems you must possess, that some day you will beat back into the good favor of your friends, and of this com­ munity. through your honest efforts, backed by a courage, if you have It, which must exist If you are to do that. If you do. you will be entitled to the credit that comes to the man who suc­ ceeds when the going is rough. "Your case is different than that of the young man, or anrXher individual, who has not had atfopportunity, who has been stunted In his efforts, perhaps, who has offended in a way that brings him within the tolls of the law. as we say; and you must be held to a higher degree accountable on that account. "If we cannot took to the young men of. good family, holding responsible positions, for reliability of character and conduct, there Is no place to which we can with assurance look. "I know that any sentence imposed on you will be severe as It affects you. It is far from what you would have contemplated a few years ago. far from what any member, I imagine, of this community would have contem­ plated but a few days ago. I cannot measure it in that light atone, though. There must be a harmony of action by the Court, having In view all of the cases that come before me. I do not mean by that that the Court will be able to harmonize his ideas with those of the public generally, or that criti­ cism win not come In many instances, but measured by the facts before him. a judge should act impartially, without regard to any other consideration than dealing out the satpo measure of pun­ ishment to one, as another, viewed In the light of the offense committed. "I hope that by your conduct you will earn the benefit that accompanies careful and scrupulous subscription to the rules of the Institution. I imagine you will. "The sentence of the Court In your case Is that you be Imprisoned in the Michigan Reformatory at Ionia for a maximum term of twenty years, and for a minimum term of one year anti nine months. The effect of that Is that you will probably serve, if you conduct yourself tu you should, in the neighbor­ hood of a year and a half, but the minimum sentence Axed is a year and nine months." MICHIGAN AND THE 00UNTRY NEED TEAM WORK IN U. 8. SENATE AN “INDEPENDENCE” FETISH IS HURTFUL We Need a Senator Who Will Do Team Work With Presi­ dent and Party Associates As the date for the primary election approaches, the belief that Honorable Cliase 8. Osborn, former governor of this state, should be nominated for United States senator shows a decided Increase. Al the present time former Governor Osborn is in Detroit, speak­ ing at various gatherings, political and nqn-political, and making good use of the radio. Wiiat Governor Osborn did for lhe laboring men of this state while he was governor, in getting the compen­ sation law enacted, and the steadfast friendship he has always evidenced for the cause of the. laboring men are be­ ing recognized In Detroit, with' fine support promised there for his nomi­ nation . The more the people of Michigan think about this matter lhe more cer­ tain they will be to decide that Michi­ gan cannot aftord to send to the Unit­ ed States senate a man like Senator Couzcns. who so prides himself upon his right to oppose the President, op­ pose the party organization in the sen­ ate and oppose lhe wishes of U»e re­ publicans of this state in what he does as senator.

ILL IN St OKS EOR SCHOOL OPENING £ — HASTINGS NINE WINS OSBORN SENT WENT A GAME; DROPS ONE Defeat Eaton Rapids; But Bow GROWING N STILE to Grand Rapids Ramblers; School Days are /fere Again Colored Giants Next On last Thursday the Hasting* merchants travelled to Eaton Rapids where they played a home-conning game with the Independent tea-fa of that town, defeating them for the sec­ ond limo this season. Tlie final score— 6 to 1. Owing to the necessity of playing the game on a week day, the line-up was necessarily changed but proved no less effective than usual. Al Brown did tiie pitching for the local* with "Sklb" Moore receiving. "Jimmie" Hines was seen at his old post at third, "Toad" Ryan played second in place of Mc­ Cann who took care of short, while Maurice Roush was at first. Herrington. Flory and Bump made up tlie outfield. "Jumbo" Kuhl was in the box for Eaton Rapids and Devine caught. in the Sunday game the hard-hitting Grand Rapids Ramblers combined s<yne fine stifk work and hard base­ running to take the Hastings ball dub down the line, by a 10 to 8 score. A disastrous first innings when the visitors pounded Chase hard for five clean hits and scored six runs, proved more than the locals could overcome, although they held the Grand Ralpds aggregation more than even for the remaining eight session*, getting four­ teen hits to the Ramblers' ten, and scoring eight runs as against four. The crowd was treated to all sor's of fancy hitting throughout the con­ test including triples by Davis of Grand Rapids, McCann and Chase. The Has­ ting* boys also snapped to with some spectacular, fielding, especially around the keystone sack where Pelkey and McCann were kept busy. The Ramblers return here for anoth­ er game on September 7. Next Sunday's game is scheduled with Bishop's Colored Giants of Bat­ tle Creek, the team that is coached by Umpire Patterson. They are coming over to give us a good game—see it. Bud Heine will umpire as "Pat" is un­ willing to officiate with his own team on the field. On Labor Day. as will be remem­ bered, Hastings goes to Lansing where tlie team meets Hubardston in its first contest in the Central Michigan Tournament. The Hubardston team has a splendid record for the season and is doped as having an even chance with Hastings and Dexter to cop the champ­ ionship. The Hastings game, which wli! be called at 3:00 is to be proceeded by another tournament contest at 1:00— both games for the price of one admis­ sion. DICKINSON WINS LOCAL CADDY TOURNAMENT Twenty-Five Young Golfers Compete in Annual Coun­ try Olub Event Old man par was threatened more than once when the caddies at the Hastings Country Club banged their way down the fairways in the annual caddy tournament held a few days ago. AU summer long, the boys have been pointing for this contest. When not on duty toting clubs, they’ve been busy as chipmunks perfecting drives, practicing putts, or holding Informal contests of their own. Tlie result Is that they turned In scores which made more than one chronic "ninety-nincr” give a little secret sigh of envy. In fact, at least one of the caddies passed up an opportunity to go to tlie scout camp at Duck lake rather than miss this tournament. In the championship flight. Howard Dickinson outshot his oponents by easy margins' until the final round when he nosed out Roy Finstrom by 3-2. Dickinson and Finstrom were also winner and runner-up respectively in the tournament last year. Dlfklnson qualified with a 42 and Finstrom with a 45. The best round of the tournament was shot by Dickinson who had to go a 40 in his match with Finstrom to beat a 41 by the latter. Either of these scores are al least on a par with lhe average ones turned in by the best players at the club. In playing a 40. Dickinson only missed par by four strokes. Joe Thompson won lhe second flight by defeating Lynn Perry 3-2. The first flight was composed of caddies who shot a qualifying round of 57 or more. Friday noon, the caddies who played in the tournament, were given a dinner at the Country club and the. prizes presented by Eddie VanPopering. club pro. Dickinson, the caddy champion, re­ ceived a golf club from Eddie and in addition the winner and runner-up of each flight were present with a necktie and a Jack knitj apiece. The dinner was in charge of L* Frank Carrothers Those who competed in the cham­ pionship flight together with the quali­ fying scores are: Howard Dickinson. 42; Ro/ Finstrom. 45; Benny Adcock. 47; Ray Reynolds. 48; Virgil Conrad. 48; Charles Emmerson, 49; Earl,Stover. 51; Vern Engle. 61; Very!

Fred Cushing and to other relatives. Few of our readers have ever visited that island, which to one of the dis­ tant possessions of the United States. Il is about 3.000 miles out from Ban Pancisco, about 1.500 miles from Manila and 1.100 miles from Yoko­ hama. Japan. The island government to controlled by the navy department at Washington. There is stationed at Guam a company of marines and the commandant of the post to also the governor of the Island. The island has a land area of about 240 square miles. This is about the equivalent of seven Michigan townships. The marines rule the Island and the positions in the Guam government are filled by naval officers. The inhabitants are mostly natives, of whom there are 30,000. They are the Chommorro*. The United Stales authorities are trying to make them economically Independent, and to promote their welfare. To this end they have established a school system on the island, with a normal school for train­ ing teachers. For this same purpose al­ so the agricultural experiment station, of which Mr. Edwards has charge, was also located on the Island, the purpose being to assist the natives in diversi­ fying their crops, or increasing crop yields and in adding new crops to the island. The principal industry of the is­ land to the raising of coconuts, and the export of copia. the dried meat of the coconut. ! The government has tried to learn from its exeprience in the Philippines | so as not to conflict with oriental ideas of education. The Filipinos have an idea that an educated man should not work with his hands, so that in order to not lose caste, an educated man must be either a lawyer, a doctor, a clerk or follow some other profession. In other words an education to apt to spoil a promising native worker, and make him feel unhappy, unless he gets a white shirt job- To overcome this the government has been establishing what might be termed “agricultural school*" In the Philippines, where the boys in the rural districts are given schooling up to the fourth grade, then taught practical farming, which makes them far more helpful and does not give them the idea that they must not work with their hands. Mr. Edwards says that getting a liv­ ing is so easy In Guam that the na­ tives do not have to work much They are not very sad over that situa­ tion. The Guam schools. Mr. Edwards says, are good schools, with/native teachers. The revenues of thfc island, however, have not permitted the governpint to start farm Schools like they have In the Philippines.

The occasion for making that state­ ment was that, at that time, a few weeks ago. he was being urged to be a candidate for mayor of Detroit. This matter vitally concern* every penon In Barry county and in this state. Every voter who wants an equit­ able taxation system in Michigan and Who wants the dty of Detroit to pay her fair share of the taxation, which she to not doing and will never do If she can help it. ought to get out to th: polls and support Wilber M.

After laboring there for five years, he was ■ promoted and given charge of lhe experiment station at Guam. Efforts are being made to increase and diversify lhe crops of the island as well as to im­ prove the livestock there. He says the climate to ideal, but the hard thing about living In Guam to that it to so far from all his old time friends and his relatives. Mr. Edward* said that recently there had come to the Island scientists who had been looking up the ancestry of the native Chommorro*. There are tn various parts of the island cone shaped stones, set in rows. But it never oc­ curred to anybody, until the scientists came, to find what this signified. The scientists, who were Americans, dug up the ground in the vicinity of these cone-shaped stones and found that they marked burial places of people who had lived on the island probably many hundred years ago. They were the ancestors of the present inhabi­ tants. They must have been a superior race, because the skeletons show that the men were seven feet tall, most of them, and indicated that they were well developed physically. SERIOUS OVERCROWDING IN STATE INSTITUTIONS An Outstanding Case I* the La­ peer Home and Train­ ing School R. L. Dickinson. Medical Superin­ tendent of the Michigan Home and Training School at Lapeer. Michigan, recently sent out a letter to the probate Judges of Michigan, calling attention to a serious condition which calls loudly for the speediest |x»sible correc­ tion. In the letter Mr. Dickinson states that lhe normal capacity of the Lapeer institution to 2540 inmates, while at the present time the actual number in the institution is 3.031. In other words it is overcrowded now to the extent of 491. There is a waiting list in Michigan counties, of those who have been ad­ judged as persons who should be sent to the Lapeer home. 746 males and 802 females-—a total of 1348. Dr. Dickinson states that on No­ vember 1, four new cottages for females will be available, which can accom­ modate 350 Inmates. He also stales that next spring 125 mote females can be I accommodated. In 1931 about the same relief for ths I large waiting list of male patients will I be afforded—that to. about 475. But In the meantime the waiting list is growt ing. Only tlie extreme cases are placed I on such lists. There are others in al­ most every county who should be sent to the Lapeer institution. Probate Judges know they cannot be accom­ modated there, so they are not put on the waiting list. Und<r the building program adopted by the legislature last year it to hoped that within three or four years ade­ quate buildings can be put up at Laj peer that will house all who are or may I be on the waiting list at the end of that time. The superintendent states that it is his wish to co-operate with probate Judges in every possible way, giving preference to patients who are a social problem in their communities rather than to those who are only in­ dividual family burdens. Judge Eggleston reports that all the state hospitals are ever-crowded, so that patients cannot be sent to them until the authorities in those institutions can find room for them. This to creat­ ing a serlqu* condition. It was wise for the legislature to start the building program. It should have been done ear­ lier. REPORT OF COATS GROVE D. O. T. O. CLUB.

PART TWO Jim Hill Said: “If you want to know whether you are destined to be a SUCCESS or not, you can easily find out. The test is simple-is infallible. ARE YOU ABLE TO SAVE MONEY? If not, drop out. You willlose! You may think not, but you will lose as sure as fate, for the seed of success is not in you." 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 "OPPORTUNTY," 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, 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?

In most places they are smaller than av­ erage, and the yield is also lighter. In the northern part of this onion district nearest Gun lake, there will be some fine, high-quality, large-yielding onion crops. The acreage planted to onions in Gun Marsh district this year to about 3200. with 150 acres growing celery. Recent rains have helped the celery crop. The onion industry In the Gun river valley stands to benefit from the new tariff on onions. Last year this district yielded 1.800 car loads of onions. This record may be reached this year. The Underwood bill which was in effect from 1913 to 1921 placed onions on the free list The emergency tariff act of 1921 and the Fordney act of 1922 placed a tariff of one cent a pound of onion*. Tlie new tariff act of 1930 makes the rate two and one-half cents per pound. It to said that the onloas imported into this country in 1928 were more than 25,000,000 pounds. If this can be diverted to the American grow­ er. it will mean a large addition to hto home market with more favorable price, unless there shall be a surplus. Michigan ha* attained a very promi­ nent place in onion production, now ranking all other states In this crop. The Gun Marsh onion growers will no doubt have reason to thank Congress­ man Ketcham, who worked untiringly for a higher rate on onions because of the large acreage of them produced In hto district. CONTROL WHEAT SMUT t WITH CHEAP METHODS Simple Treatments Stop Losses From Disease Reported to Be Causing Serious Damage Phone 2217 Hastings, Michigan , seed wheat to soaked for 10 minutes in a solution made by adding one pint of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of water. The wheal should be spread out to dry after treating and then should be planted as soon as it will pass through the drill readily. Copper carbonate dust at the rate of two or three ounces to each bushel of seed can be applied in a barrel churn. an oil drum, or other similar container which can be rolled to Insure the thorough coating of the wheat with the chemical. A gauze mask should be worn while the seed to being treated, and the treated grain to poisonous so It can not be fed. Tests made with Perkley Rock wheat indicate that it to immune to both loose and stinking smut. - The premier of Canada announces that it has been possible under the countervailing feature of the Canadian tariff law to raise the tariff only on sixteen articles against the United States and of these articles none to im­ ported from this country. Tills law per­ mits Canada to raise the duty on any given article to the tariff fixed by tlie United States. Some embarrassment rose when in response to the cry for retaliation against the new American tariff, it was discovered that the Cana­ dian duties were all higher than the new American rates, and tliat therefore no increase could be made. Which constitutes an interesting commentary on the outcry about the wrong* com­ mitted on Canada and other countries by our new “protective tariff." MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE CO.

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 good and—.” This country has many sound invest­ ment opportunities in both good stocks and good bonds. 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 oiir business. Banks have ways of finding out the standing of any firm, concern or corporation. Before you in­ vest your hard-earned money with any one who claims tp 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 impor­ tant 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?

The Goodyear All-Weather Tread is superior in traction. Two bed-rock reasons make it true. One reason is, Goodyear Tires are bet­ ter right now than they have ever been.

This Is particularly true Just at this time when there may be a tendency on the part of some to lean over back­ wards in saving and thus interfere with the return of general business activity. It to well to understand that the phrases "to save” and "to be thrifty" do not denote synomymous conditions If they did mean the same thing, all that any of us would need do to make persona) advancement would be to save ohr money. We should need give no thought to matters of health, the effi­ cient employment of time, education, travel, recreation and various other points that must constantly be kept in mind by those who are truly thrifty.— By 8.

NEWCOMER AT GAME BEATS VETERAN FIELD Stages Daziling Rally in Finals When Trailing Seasoned Opponent 19 to 6 A slender, sober-faced, be-spectacled Hastings schoolboy strolled over to the Western Michigan fair at Grand Rap­ ids last week, won the Western State horseshoe pitching tournament—in spite of the fact that he has been at the game for less than a year—and then trudged back home again carry­ ing the coveted trophy, a beautifulpair of stainless chrome-steel horseshoes, with him. Tills was Eldon Oaks and Eldon still lias several weeks to go be­ fore his eighteenth birthday. Since employment has been slock this summer. Eldon didn't have the cash to spend on carfare, so he walked. Going was easy. He picked up a ride Just outside Hastings clear into Grand Rapids. Returning, however, he walked most of the. way to Caledonia without so much as a short lift From there a car brought him within six miles of the city and he finished up afoot. Com­ ing back, he had the extra weight of his prize shoes, a matter of some five pounds, but os Eldon said, that was one burden he didn't mind in the least. Oaks has only been at the game ser­ iously since last spring. He puttered about before on a makeshift court, but with the formation of the Hastings i Horseshoe dub, he began to study the (Continued on page five) i | | John Hoevcnair Lost $20 on Street But It Was Found by an Honest Lad In these days when the front pages I of the dally press are given over to I bank robberies, hold-ups, burglaries and the like.

Chancing to look down to the walk, he noticed a little wad of paper I that looked like money—and It was .money. Unrolling it he found it to be a 810 bill and two 85 bills. or 820 all told. He brought it at once to the Banner Office, remarking that “he hoped the owner could be found." and that “the one who lost it would probably be glad to get it back." John Hoevcnair happened to be the one who lost the money, carrying the folded bills in his pocket, and did not discover his loss until he returned home. The next day he came to the Banner Office to advertise the loss of a 810 bill and two 15 somewhere on State street. It naturally took him by com­ plete surprise to find that the money was here and waiting tor him. As a re­ ward for Mr. Hammond's honesty, Mr. Hoevenair left one of the 85 bill*, and asked us to express his thanks and ap­ preciation to Mr. Hammond. There are a lot of good people, and a lol of honesty in this old world, but too many time* their good deeds arc not played up in front page spreads, a*, are the acts of the crimipalclass which are said to comprise less than two per cent of our population, just now that two per cent seems quite busy, however. POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT. TWO AUCTIONS MRS. EDNA BRADY. On account of the death of her hus­ band, Mrs. Edna Brady will dispose of her personal property at an after­ noon public auction at the farm about 1 1-2 miles south of Mlddlville. Col. W. H. Couch will cry the sale and W. R. Harper will serve as clerk. There will be offered for sale 5 good work horses. 5 good cows and 2 calves, some hay. grain, com and beans on the ground and a good list of farm tools. It is hoped that this sale may be a very successful one as Mrs. Brady is left with six children and a good sale will mean much to her. Read her auction sale advertisement in this Issue and remember the date. WILLIAM HEISER. On account of the death of his wife William Heiser will have an auction sale at his place one mile east of the village of Morgan directly across the road from the Morgan schoolhouse, or one mile north and four miles west of Nashville.

AN APPRECIATION. I wish I could express how deeply I appreciate the splendid support the Banner is giving that sterling young man. Wilber M. Brucker. The mental contemplation of the youthful eager­ ness. outstanding ability and clean, honest manhood of Mr. Brucker as compared to the hard. cool, seasoned but sinister adeptness of Alex J. Groesbeck is an Intensely interesting experience in psychology. The mind of the average, humble voter turns with a sense of such utter refreshment to the more pleasant aide of the picture. Eugene Skeels. LAURENCE E. BARNETT. A few weeks ago I began to tell the people of Barry county that Jury trials in wide open, public, courtrooms and more vigorous prosecution of criminals were essential to curb our crime wave. Since then, letters and phone calls have poured into my office from every section of the county endorsing those sentiments. I respectfully solicit your support al the polls next Tuesday for the office of Prosecutor on the Republican ticket. I pledge you my word that, if elected there will be no compromise with crime and the law-breakers of this county will be tried in open Court and before your Juries—not in any office. This is my one and only campaign promise. It will be kept. . Respectfully, Laurence E. Barnett. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT. John H.

They KNOW that hundreds of epidemica of typhoid fever, diphtheria, strepto­ cocci sore throat and scarlet fever have been traced DIRECTLY to the use of RAW MILK, but not a single epidemic has been traced to Pasteurized Milk. The United States Government recommends Pasteurized Milk and sees that its soldiers get nothing but Pasteurized Milk, and NEVER ANY RAW MILK. All the leading Universities and Colleges recommend the use of Pasteurized Milk. Why? Why?? Why??? Do all the leading Health Authorities recommend the use of nothing but Pasteur­ ized Milk—and never RAW MILK? BECAUSE they have INVESTIGATED, and are satisfied beyond any possible guess-work” that RAW MILK does ca rry DISEASE GERMS, and that PAS­ TEURIZATION makes it ABSOLUTELY SAFE for human consumption. Are They All Mistaken? The very FACT that no epidemic haa ever been traced to Pasteurized Milk is the best answer. ily use. Nothing is added to the milk; nothing taken away.

We would welcome a visit from you, because we are proud of our plant and equipment and believe, you will be when you SEE FOR YOURSELF what we are doing to supply you with PAS­ TEURIZED MILK—the SAFE MILK.

Calif., and chauffeur who arrived in Medford yesterday enroute home from an auto trip to Victoria and other British Columbla points left late this forenoon for home would paw for an ordinary tourist news chronicle were it not tiiat the stop in Medfo< was for the sole purpose of Mr. Kenfield holding a short reunion with his friend of many years, Fred L. Heath, 8r. "Both are reformed natives of Has­ tings. Mich.. and proud of it. There are only a few years difference between their ages, but notwithstanding this morning while they were conversing in Ute Hotel Medford lobby Mr. Heath Introduced Mr. Kenfield to the writer as a boyhood friend and a former Sunday school scholar of his in Hastings. "Thanks to following the teachings of his former Sunday school teacher of years ago Mr. Kenfield prospered in business and made so much money that he retired some years ago and moved to Pasadena, while Mr. Heath also retired from active business life in recent years went from bad to worse, engaging in the drug business in var­ ious Michigan cities, then migrating to Eagle Point and finally to Medford, still In the same business. "Hastings has never been the same since they left to locate on the Pacific coast, and despite that Sunday schoo> affiliation story. It was easy to realize as one listened to the rapid fire chatter of the two gray haired chums that the residents of Hastings, after their de­ parture were able in raise watermelons In their gardens with reasonable cer­ tainty of having at least one or two left for their own use. “ 'Fred was a rattling good Sun­ day school teacher.' explained Mr. Ken­ field. " Fred was one of my brightest scholars.’ further explained Mr. Heath "Mr. and Mrs. Kenfield refused Mr. Heath's kind urgings to remain over In Medford for a longer visit and take in Diamond and Crater lakes, because of Mr. Kenfield's deaire to hurry on home after having been away so long, but said that they would return some time in the future to do the scenery and fishing hereabouts. Then the two Freds gripped hands, said 'So long. Ill be seeing you again,’ like in moving picture dialogue." . In connection with the above Inter­ view. we quote from the words of a kind, elderly lady here who was a lormer teacher In the Sunday school when these boys were young. “Oh yes,” she said, “those two boys had perfect attendance records—Just before all the Bunday School picnics and socials. I remember them well. Mercy how they used to carry on) Fred Kenfield was certainly a leader—a ring leader, that Is. Little Freddy Heath was rather bashful at first, but as the paper said, he was a very apt pupil. If either one of those two boys learned anything from the other. It surely wouldn't be along the line of anything that would be taught in Sunday school” College Students Will Fall for These! It’.

KETCHAM S CONGRESS In NO POLITICAL OFFICE does EXPERIENCE count for as much as it does in the office of CONGRESSMAN, because in Congress all the laws affecting the welfare of EVERY RESIDENT of this country are initiated. It takes from 4 to 6 years in Congress to “get onto the ropes” and before a member commences to receive any recognition. John C. Ketcham, our present Congressman is in the VERY PRIME OF LIFE, and right NOW through his 10 years of experience, is far better fitted to give the people of this Congressional District the VERY BEST SERVICE than any new man POSSI­ BLY COULD GIVE. You KNOW John C. Ketcham; you KNOW what he has done. THERE IS JUST ONE WAY YOU CAN BEST SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION, AND THAT IS ' _ By Going to the Primaries Next Tuesday, and Urging All of Your Friends to Do Likewise and Vote for John C. Ketcham HERE ARE FURTHER REASONS WHY BARRY COUNTY SHOULD SUPPORT JOHN KETCHAM HERE ARE SOME MORE REASONS WHY BARRY COUNTY SHOULD SUPPORT JOHN KETCHAM REGARDLESS OF PARTY REGARDLESS OF PARTY 1.

He haa al। ways looked upon himself u a part of a big family, which Includes all the ' |>eople of the county and of the district. । Just as a member of a large family learns that he can find, as well as give, | pleasure by serving the, others, so Mr. Ketcham has found unalloyed pleasure ' in giving pleasure to the people of this I county by his service. Another thing that will always be remembered to his credit, is the fact that he never gave an address that was empty of meaning, nor for the mere sake of pleasing. His talks have always been constructive and helpfuL He al­ ways places the proper emphasis upon the good things, the sane things, the real things of life. He b an inspira­ tional speaker. He has always been especially interested in the young folks and has been lhe ideal of many of them. They have found that what he iuu said Ls a reflection of what he has always lived. They have found him al­ ways genuine and sincere. They have learned that he Is a man who thinks straight and talks straight. been of large service to the major In­ dustry bf this district, which Is farm­ ing. They know from the bills which he has introduced, some of which have bethings; one who get* things done, where co-operation with others Is nec­ essary. What he has been able to ac­ complish this last year for the cities of thia district shows the value of having an experienced congressman on theJob—a man who "knows the ropes." knows where to seek co-operation, knows where to get the needed infor­ mation. knows how to bring things to pass. John Ketcham has done that. We all know that a new man could not do It. Mr. Ketcham did not do It nor did Congressman Hamilton in their first four years of work In congress. Lt takes two terms to get nicely started. The longer a man stays In congress the more useful he can become. There is no other body of men where seniority in service counts for so much as in con­ gress. It means chairmanships, or high places on committees; it means Interest in him and his work through Intimate friendships with other congressman built up by a long service in congress. All this Mr. Ketcham has done. He never -was better able to give good service to the people of this district than right now. We think it will be fine if 5.000 votes in Barry county shall be cast for John Ketcham on Tuesday. Sep­ tember 9. It would be a deserved tribute to a worthy man. a fine citizen and an outstanding congressman.

LyBARKER, Hastings “If you want to know whether you are destined to be a SUCCESS or not, you can easily find out. The test is simple-is infallible. ARE YOU ABLE TO. SAVE MONEY? If not, drop out. You will lose! You may think not, but you will lose as sure as fate, for the seed of success is not in you." 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 wqrld's wealthiest men at the time of his death, only emphasizes the necessity of saving money and being able to take advantage of "OPPORTUNTY," 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, or she, seriously determines to, and thus be in a position, financially, to embrace any opportunity that comes.

Were You Ever Offered A Chance to “Get In On the Ground Floor?” The ordinary man has too hard a time accumulating a Com­ fortable “Nest Egg" to run any chances of losing it all, or a good portion of it through an unwise investment. 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 good and— This country has many sound invest­ ment opportunities in both good stocks and good bonds. 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 thkrcommuni­ 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 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 impor­ tant 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?

BREADY S HEARINO HIS SUSPENSION FROM MINISTRY BUT TEMPORARY Committee Recommended That Ho Be Reinstated When Ad­ justments Are Made than he could stand. Utile wonder that n man in broken health and un­ der such a strain should do things which. a rational mind would never have done. He had a powerful enemy in the church, who fought him bitterly and raised all kinds of "Obstacles It was through thia man's enmity that .the matter was brought before the con­ ference. with charges against Rev. Bready of bad faith and eyen criminal­ ity In handling the church's financial matters. Rev. Bready had plenty of friends In the Cincinnati church several of whom were present at the trial and expressed their views of the situation-In no un­ certain manner. They said it was an outrage, as it certainly was. that a pastor should be asked to look after lhe details of the business of his church as well as his pastoral work, and then be charged with crime after hls health broke down and his accounts became muddled. It Is pleasing to Rev. Bready's friends that fifteen ministers, leading members of a conference In which he had very little acquaintance, after going tiioroughly into the matter, decided that there was never any criminal intent on the part of Rev. Bready, but that the financial affairs of the church had been brought into a tangle because of hls nervous breakdown, and not through any wrong or intent to do a wrong on hls part Since Rev. Bready was temporarily suspended from the ministry about a| year ago he has been at work and has paid off a considerable part of the in -; debtedness which an audit of the church books and accounts showed he owed. As soon os he shall complete the payments of the balance he will automatically be reinstated In the min­ istry and can then continue his useful work In some place where there will not be such heavy demands upon him as there are in a pastorate in a big city. The outcome of this matter Is pleas­ ing to Rev. Bready's many friends in this city. They have always felt that it was wrong to Rev. Bready to require him to handle lhe church's finances in Cincinnati. That Is not a part of a minister's work. In the overwrought condition In which he then was it is no wonder that lhe accounts became mud­ dled. Had it not been for one man. who seemed to want to make the trial a persecution, the matter could have been bandied without any action by a Conference. This man heard an earful from witnesses and others who ex­ pressed their condemnation of this man and hls course In this case. Many Hostings friends of Rev. Rus­ sell H. Bready were Interested In the trial of hls case, which was held be­ fore the proper committee at the meet­ ing of the Ohio State Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, at Ox­ ford. Ohio, last week. Among the friends of Rev. Bready who went to Oxford from practically every place where he had served as pastor in Michigan, were Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Kerr, of this dty. There was a select committee to hear the case, consisting of fifteen ministers, presided over by Bishop H. Lester Smith of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The verdict was as follows: ••Pint on tlw demand In the charges against Dr. Russell H. Bready that he be deposed from the ministry, there were fifteen Nos, which made is a unanimous decision against that de­ mand. •The committee recommend that Russell H. Bready be continued in hls present relation of suspension until certain adjustments of accounts are met when the suspension will be lifted by the Bishop. ‘This arrangement is announced by the committee, with full faith In the integrity of Dr. Bready. knowing the complication arose during a breakdown caused by overwork." It will not be news to anyone In Has­ tings, who sometimes saw a light shin­ ing in Rev. Bready's study window till the small hours ot the morning, who knew the intense worker he was and the amount of work he did and that he never spared himself In doing It, to learn that he later suffered from such overwork. After Dr. Bready went to Pontiac from this city his labors were far more strenuous. He was at one ROBINSON REUNION. time mayor of Pontiac In addition to The eleventh annual reunion of the all he had to do in looking after his big church. He next went to Detroit, Robinson family was held Sept. 1. at to serve In a large church, where he the home of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Perk­ had some serious problems that re­ quired hls most strenuous efforts.

Since hotel accommodations al the village of Romagne are inadequate lo care for the visitors who come, a Host­ ess House has been erected on a hill­ top overlooking the cemetery. The buildings and the ground - about are Included in the park, and have been landscaped to harmonize with it. Walter Shields, an ex-officer from Virginia, and his wife, a native of France, are in charge. Shields is the overseer of the park and Mrs. Shields manages the Hostess House. Mrs. Bauer said that they were ex­ tremely cordial to their guests and took much interest in explaining the brief but impressive history, of the park. Mr. Shields often has as many as 90 men working for him but never-the-less is generous In the amount of time that he devotes to visitors. It is the aim of this husband and wife to make of the park a memorial that will actively carry on the memory of our soldiers who were killed in France. ' Although the average American tourist In France is considered fair game foe all manner of petty ••fleecing,'’ th^s attitude is not maintained in case of the Gold Star mothers. Mrs. Bauer, during her stay in Paris, had the misfortune to fall while de­ scending to a subway train and break her wrist. Hospitals there are expen­ sive. especially the ones that cater to Americans. So a French friend ot Mrs. Bauer's suggested that she go to a French hospital near her hotel on lhe Rue Jacob. This friend acted as her in­ terpreter. The doctor did not take kindly to this invasion by a foreigner. He asked if she was a wealthy American. Mrs. Bauer explained that she was not. The doc­ tor then asked why she was living in Paris. She explained that her main reason for coming was to visit the grave of her son and that she had de­ cided to stay on for a time. Immediately the doctor's attitude became cordial. She was given court­ eous attention and for the entire serv­ ice. which included ex-ray photographs, was charged but an inconsequent*? sum. It is interesting to note that the Mont Faucon which overlooks this cemetery is the same Mont Faucon from which the Crown Prince of Ger­ many watched wave after wave of his choice regiments crack up before the Inspired defense of the French army at Verdun. His station was a thlck-wal’ed dugout atop the Mount. The periscope through which he looked is now in the military museum at West Point Acade- ■ my. A little village was formerly spread I along the sides and top of Mount Faucon but it was obliterated during the many | savage battles. Quite appropriately, this memorial cemetery is on one of the very field where the American divisions began the final drive which ended the war. BRANCH DISTRICT. Harold Willits and nephew.

WEDNESDAY, 8EPTEMBEK 18, lt» HIGBMYS DISCUSSED , OUTLINES DEVELOPMENT OP ROADS IN STATE TO PRESENT DAY TRAFFIC NOW NINETY . PER CENT INTER-CITY Michigan's Rural Ways Need Systematic Plan for Im. provement, He Bay* Moat ot the townships of trfU county were represented by their supervisors and highway commissioners at a meet­ in* held Wednesday night last week at the courtroom, the speaker being L- X Rothgery. Field Engineer of the Michi­ gan Stale College, The meeting was called to order by Ell Lindsey, a mem­ ber of the county road commission. Mr. Rothgery gave a timely address. He first called attention to the de­ velopment of highways tn this state. At first there were only the animal paths or those made by the Indians; over these burdens were carried on the backs of men. There followed settlements along rivers and waterways, and .ar­ ticles were transported from up stream on rafts lo the very primitive markets that were In existence at that time. Then came the development of roads, which were very crude at first Now we have a system of improved highways in this state, consisting of thousands of miles of county and trunk line high­ ways; but there still remain, above the 7.700 miles of trunk lines and 14,000 miles of county Improved roads in Michigan, about 60.000 mllee of rural roads, nearly all ot which have never been Improved. At the present time Michigan's popu­ lation to 85 per cent in villages and cities and only 15 per cent rural. Ac­ cording to lhe best estimates, based on traffic counts. 90 per cent of the traffic on our main highways to Inter-city or originates in a dty. In lhe past the method has been to put a large part of the burden on real estate abutting the improved road But tbto is growing more and more unfair, because lhe benefits of such a road are not to lhe farm abutting the highway but largely to the 90 per cent of traffic that originates in cities. The speaker warned against lhe Dykstra bill, which proposed that onethird of the weight tax be given oqtrlght to cities, villages and townships. This would take 810,000,000 away from the Bute Highway Department end the benefits to rural highways would be very alight. . As 85 per cent of the state's auto­ mobiles are owned in cities, also a larger percentage ot lhe heavy trucks and busses. In reality the cities and villages would get almost 90 per cent of this S 10.000.000 whilfr the townships would get but 81,000.000, which when spread over so many hundreds of townships would mean almost nothing at all. tn benefltting rural roads. Because the traffic over our im­ proved highways so largely originates In cities, it is fair that they should stand the major part of the cost. In the last six years the State Highway Department hai spent 1120.000,000 on Improved roods; and of this over 824.­ 000,000. or one-fifth of the total amount, had been spent in cities and villages. With the proposed widening of trunk line streets In the larger cities, the relative proportion given to cities will be larger than iff the past, so that there to no need of concern about the cities. They are getting all they are en’lltled to now. The speaker said that the ultimate limit of trunk lines would be in this state 10,000 miles and county systems probably 20,000 miles, which would leave 50.000 miles of purely rural lines, which must be cared for. This situa­ tion calls leudly for a plan for the de­ velopment ot rural highways. An In­ vestigation discloses the fact that large sums of money are raised each year by the townships of Michigan for highway purposes; but they are not getting lhe roads. The average cost ot a mile of good township rood, built to meet the needs of modern traffic, would be about 42,000. Enough money Is spent in the average township every year (or highway purposes to build from one to Instead « tt^t the money to wasted in attempt* to rapair Hut really do not repair, Utile or no permanent road wort to done on the average township road. Thia to largely true; there are ------------W|l<re township* lure -------------------laid art a systen —m of roads and are wortinc m a plan. There to no reason why a township road should cost any­ where near as much as a.county road lo accommodate the traffic over it. Speaking ot Barn oounty, ho said this oounty to realising very little on Ito wonderful aaaet in the way of resort lakes. That is due to the fact that they are not aoeooalble by good roads. He said that millions of dollars could bt added to the taxable property of this county if Its lakes could be reached by good roAd* Hto specific suggestions were as fol­ lows: 1. Have a township system of roads planned. Oounty. and where necessary state, engineers will help to work out the details of such a system. 1. Instead of changing highway com­ missioners every year or so. a good man should be selected, a man who will get a dollar's worth of work for a dollar spent for It, one who knows what he is trying to do. and keep him on the job until the system to com­ pleted. or at least well along towards completion. 3. Take the highway commissioner­ ship out of politic*, just as far as pos­ sible. so that “deals" cannot be made to have Utile patches of roads fixed up here and there over the township In return for promised support of a com­ missioner on election day. Have the highway commissioner chosen by the township board, without regard to pol­ itics. The board have the right to end hto services whenever they are not satisfactory. The speaker thought that the responsillity ought to be laid large­ ly upon the township board. 4. Lay out a definite program, and have each year's work a part of it. Alm at getting two miles at least of good road constructed cacti year, st an ex­ pense of not exceeding 12.000 per mile, which he said could be done in the or­ dinary township. 5. He urged the utmost friendly feel­ in and co-operation between the town­ ship and the oounty highway organi­ zations. He thought that lhe county ought to be willing, whenever ito equip­ ment Is not in use on county work, to loan it to townships at actual cost, plus a reasonable percentage for de­ predation. 6. He urged that, through the legis­ lature, the effort be made to take the most of lite load ot taxation tor rural highways off from real estate and put it where traffic counts show the most of the traffic originates. 7. He urged finally that there be formed. In every county, a County Rural Highway Association, made up ol farmers, business men and township and oounty road officials, who would meet at least twice a year, for the pur­ pose of considering the problems con­ nected with the development of rural roads. There was plenty of discussion of the propositions urged by the speaker and somo very pointed, and in some cases, constructive suggestions were made. A motion was made and carried unanimously that the oounty road com­ mission. some time during Use month of September, call a joint meeting with township commissioners and other township officers interested in township highway systems, for the purpose of working out plans whereby the county commissioners and the townships offi­ cers can work together and help each other In the development of the roads of the oounty. POSSE GETS BANDIT IN I SWAMP NEAR BEDFORD1 Sheriff George W Leonard and Deputy fiherifl Wolcott took part In the hunt for a bandit who raided Van. Vtoet's gasoline station south of Bed­ ford on Wednesday morning. The I bandit moved to be Vem Runyon, of Battle Greek, who was captured about I five o'clock that afternoon by members ot (he posse that was scouring the swamp Wednesday afternoon where he had hidden. . Runyon appeared al the filling sta­ tion, where Hie Banfield road joins M-37, driving up in hto car. He shut the car door, while lhe engine was running, stepped into the little restuarant and store part of the station, which was In charge of the proprie­ tor'* daughter. Miss Isabel Van Vleet. TIUs was about eight o'clock. He or­ dered a sandwich from Miss Van Vleet, telling her to get it ready and tie would return for It shortly. A few minutes later he came back, walked' to the farther end of the restaurant' room, pulled a table against the door after he had opened it, so ns to have ] a free exit, then he ran to lhe doori near which the cash register was lo­ cated. He attempted to open the register but was unable to do so. Miss Van Vleet saw the man and shouted ( to her fgther, who was resting In al rear room Mr. Van Vleet rushed out in time to see the the bandit try to open the door of hto Ford sedan. Run­ yon struggled with it but was unable to open it. He then made a dash westward toward a swamp. It was undoubtedly lucky for Van Vleet that Runyon could not open the car door. Inside it he had left hls revolver. When he found he could not gel the car door open he hurried to reach the swamp and succeeded. Sheriff Leonard was summoned soon alter the attempted robbery by Battle Creek officers. He and Deputy Wol­ cott arrived at the swamp at about half past nine. The Sheriff and Under­ sheriff caught sight of the bandit al one time, a little after noon, but he was making tracks from a house which was unoccupied, to which he had gone, towards the swamp. The officers fired at him. but he was too far away to suffer from the bombardment and was loo swift a runner for them to catch. This Ume he went into a swamp that covers a considerable area. The offi­ cers gathered a posse of farmers with shot guns and such other weapons as they had. who joined the officers in a search through the swamp. Two of the' farmers had been followed by their dogs. Runyon, hearing the barking of these clogs and evidently fearing that he was being chased by them, hiked up a tree in the swamp. A couple of the men saw him do this, so they forced • him to get down and surrender. I Il was learned that he had stolen the car. with which lie had driven to I the station from Battle Creek. The officers believe that he raided another oil station near Battle Creek a night or two before this. He to a type from whom such things could be expected.

The United Stales haa only seven outlying naval bases and fuel stations, with only 70 merchantmen convertible into small cruisers and less than half dozen into big ones. We at present de­ pend wholly for the security and pro­ tection of our commerce on distant seas on big cruisers, with long cruising radius, and a competant battleship fleet to serve as a movable naval base, equip­ ped to function on any distant sea as effectively as British ships are able to function from Britain's outlying bases. Our national interest demands that parity in this respect must be attained. We here face the fact that Britain pos­ sesses 27 naval bases and fuel stations scattered all over the globe; that she pcs.sesses 50 merchant ships convertible into big-gun and 177 into small-gun cruisers.

The fact that he carried his own city of Benton Harbor and his own county shows that he must have the esteem of people who knew him. No doubt there were many vote* cast against him in Berrien county, not be­ cause ofthe feeling that he was not an honorable man. but because of the feel­ ing that Mr. Ketcham’s experience and his ability to fill the place, which he has demonstrated, entitled him to their' support. That was the conviction of many people in Berrien county, who otherwise would have supported their own fellow citizen. Mr. Ketcham car­ ried the city of Niles, Buchanan and several townships, but Mr. Barnard's large majority Ln Benton Harbor, his home city, and St. Joaeph just across the river from Benton Harbor, over­ came Mr. Ketcham's lead in the ouUldc precincts of Berrien county.

They get the FACTS, because FACTS form the BASIS for their conclusions. When they declare AS THEY HAVE, that Raw Milk is a CARRIER of Disease Germs to human beings, they do NOT guess. THEY KNOW. They KNOW, because they have traced outbreaks of typhoid fever, undulant fever, streptococcic sore throat, and tuberculosis DIRECTLY to infected Raw Milk. “ When Louis Paateur, the great French Scientist, announced that he had discovered a serum for the cure of Rabies (mad-dog bite), those who were later bitten by mad-dog* did not for a moment question his conclusion. The result has been that because of his discovery, thousands of lives have been saved EVERY YEAR. It was this very same Louis Pasteur who recognized the danger of contagion lurking in Raw Milk. With his scientific mind he set out to discover some way to make milk SAFE TO USE, because it is a vital food and there is no adequate substitute. Louis Pasteur DISCOVERED the way to make milk SAFE to use. He discovered that heating Raw Milk to a temperature of 142 degrees and holding it at that temperature for 30 minutes and then quickly cooling it, DE­ STROYS ALL THE DISEASE GERMS, and makes it absolutely SAFE to use. Not a single epidemic of disease has ever been traced to the milk supply in any city, where the milk is Pasteurized. That speaks volumes for the efficiency of Pasteuijzation, and PROVES that Louis Pasteur was RIGHT in his discovery of the proper process for killing disease germs in Raw Milk, just as he was RIGHT in his discovery of the Pasteur treatment for killing the germs of “rabies,” or mad-dog bite. To Pasteurize Raw Milk and do it correctly and scientifically on a large scale, requires an expensive equipment. We have the latest and best equipment for the scientific Pasteurization of Raw Milk,'and WE KNOW HOW. Can you afford to run any chances? Why not use Pasteurized Milk—the SAFE MILK?

Her bequest came under a provision of the inheritance tax law which requires tliat eight per cent of the bequest be paid to Uie state as In­ heritance tax. The question arose as i to whether this eight per cent should have been computed from the time of the decease of Mr. Allen and the pro­ bale of his will, or whether it should be levied when the amount of the be­ quest. plus the Interest that had been accumulated, should be turned over to Miss Emboden. Judge Harris ruled that it should be levied al the time when it was actually paid to her. This saved a considerable interest on the tax which, at the state's rate of eight per cent, would have amounted to quite a sum in 17 yean.

A year later he waa killed on the Island of Hawaii in an altercation with lhe nstfvM. It U claimed that Spaniards had pre­ viously discovered the group, but they left very meager records. ' Frons the time of Captain Oook to the present day. white men have played a leading part In the development of the tiny kingdom. Kamehameha I— the greatest ot Hawaiian kings—before whose statue the Hawailans stare in reverence and awe. and who reigned from 1783-1S19, under the counsel of white men and with the aid ot gyn powder, united all the islands. A year before the missionaries arrived in 1820 from Boston with their permanent civilization, lhe pagan religion had voluntarily been discarded and many ancient tabus forsaken, so that lhe Hawailans were waiting with open arms for Christianity, which they readily embraced. Following the missionaries from Boston In 1820, came the Catholics tn 1827, and the Mormons In 1863. The missionaries first set lhe Hawailans' language io writing and then taught them to read It. It Is a charm in Itself, the names which look queer to visitors adding to the islands' fascination. Tlie name of every Hawaiian beach, moun­ tain, or place, has its significance, and generally a very pretty myth accounts for its formation, existence or pecu­ liarity. » The Hawaiian alphabet consists of twelve letters as follows: A.

Queen Liliuokalanl, deposed her in 1893. set up an Independent re­ public and in 1898 were annexed upon their own request, thus becoming an integral part of the United States. • Since Hawaii Is a territory of the United States, the governor and prin­ cipal Judges are appointed by the Presi­ dent of the United States, but the local legislature is elective as are the super­ visors of the different islands, and the city and county officials of Honolulu. A delegate to congress is also .elected— but has no vote in either thp senate or house ol representatives. Territorial officials arc appointed by the governor, with the approval of the legislature. Hawaii is often referred to as the "Melting pot of the Pacific," and here cost does meet west. Races of mafiy creeds and colors—Filipino. Japanese, Chinese, Porto Rican, Portuguese, Rus­ sian. Scandinavian, American. German. French and British—co-mlngle and live harmoniously on plantation or in town, all lending their own characteristics of custom, garb or language to the melt­ ing pot. The 1930 Federal Census gave Hawaii a population of 369,200. Of this number nearly 40 per cent are Japanese, 16 per cent Filipino, 7 per cent each. Chinese. Portuguese and Hawaiian and 20 per cent Caucasians. About one-third of the population live in Honolulu. Most interesting ot all and rightly so, are the Hawaiian* themselves, all upstanding and gracious people, who permeate every walk of life and lend to It a contagious friendly cheerfulness that has made Hawaii famous for Its hospitality.

Moflday morning's dally paper brings news of a new method to make vitamin D. which was discovered by scientists at the University of Cincinnati. Vitamin D is ascribed to the action of sunshine. Lack of sunshine, or of food containing vitamin D. produces rickets in children. This disease has been cured by giving the afflicted child food which contains large quantities <JT this particular vitamin. Cod liver *011 has been the favorite remedy for over­ coming rickets, because it is so rich in Vitamin D. The ultra violet ray has been used to produce Vitamin D and get it into foods that are more palatable than cod liver oil. This method is a recent dis­ covery of science. Now cornea another way. disclosed by these scientists at the University of Cincinnati. They use a special kind of X-ray and. with this outfit, they can add vitamin D to dif­ ferent foods, such for instance as milk. The value of this discovery will be shown in lhe future, when compara­ tively inexpensive methods of putting vitamin D into foods will be in use. This is but another illustration of the wonders science is accomplishing for the good of mankind. DRUDGERY IN THE HOME. SOUTH THORNAPPLE. . aar million five hundred ttwteMr. aim and mi..

NINE BOOKS RECENTLY T. S. K. REID NAMED ADDED TO LIBRARY DISTRICT COMMANDER “The Art of Beading** find “The Local American Legion Post Bejbys" Are Especially and Unit Attended Meeting Recommended Near Sturgis on Bunday Among the new books which have recently been added to the library. "The Art of Reading." by Roger E. Rogers. Associate Professor of English at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and "The Belbys." by Ann Green, are eseclally worthwhile, accord­ ing to Miss Jean Barnes, librarian. In "The Art of Reading” (a Strat­ ford book), Prof. Rogers discusses in the main divisions of his book, the reader, the teaciier, the writer lhe critic and the material. He deals with the obstacles within the reader himself that keep him from understanding a book. He tells what to look for in writers; be define* the functions of criticism; and he analyses the various forms ot literature. Although not a popular type ot book, strictly speaking, the author writes tn a lusty, sparkling style that Is anything but boring. Tlie literature he advocates is a literature that beats and pulsates with the life of its era. and he turns the full blast of hl* refreshing wit onto the stereotyped, the dull and the pon­ derous. In regard to highbrow literature he says: "Tlie tost of the high-brow in short is this; If a work of art. liter­ ature. mu*ic. or philosophy Is rich, full flavored, fresh, original, touched with vulgarity, popular, if in short it has gusto and life he will have nothing to do with it. If it is inclined to be thin, cerebral, genteel, if it is distorted, popular, if it i* imitative, if it sets neither mind, spirit, or flesh a-tingilng. if it accords, in short, with all those negative conceptions of culture and be havior that were the 19th century mark* of gentility, then he will welcome It and be content." Referring to the classics, he says: "Why have the classics such a bad name? The difficulty as I see it is that high school students too often have forced on them works of literature which are chiefly of historic interest or are intellectually or technically beyond the interest of adolescents—rightly the student* resent them.” "The Selby*’’ is a light-hearted, spark­ ling comedy ot life among ParisianAmerican*. It describes the adventures ot Barbara Winship who comes from Georgia to be Introduced to French society by her uncle and aunt who have lived in the gay capital of France for many years. ,. Another recfllnmended book tc "Chief Contemporary DranmUsuc’ third series, by Thoma* H. Dickinson. Included in this collection arc: "The Emperor Jones." by Eugene O’Neill; ’Tlie Sliver Cord.’” by 8. Howard; and "The Dover Road.” by Green. Other books recently acquired are: "Garden Flower* Worth Knowing.” by Robert M. McCurdy; "The Young and Secret." by Alice Grant Rosman; "Margaret Yorke." by Kathleen Norris: "Pire of Youth." by Margaret Pedler; and "Tharlane” and "Coonardoo” by Dorothy Cottrell. Laurence J Bauer Post and Auxiliary Unit of till* city were well represented at the Fourth District convention held ’ at Middle lake near Sturgis on Bunday, with the Three Rivers and Sturgis Poate and Units as Ifist* and hostoase*. The meeting was l\eld at Fort HUI. an attractive spot on a high bank over­ looking Middle lake, seven miles from Sturgis. , An interesting talk was given by Blate Vice-Commander Stoner and aU were delighted with the splendid address given by Cong. J. C. .Ketcham. wiu> always brings an inspirational and helpful message. Mr. Ketcham spoke in a personal way to the Legion, saying that the glories ol war are post and told of the step* being taken to promote peace in the world and do away with war- and its dreadful toll of human life. He urged his hearers to be "peace time heroes." helping to again make the world a safe place in. which to live. Hasting* was honored by having T.| 8. K. Reid chosen as District Com­ mander. and he in turn named Maurice Foreman as Fourth District Adjutant and Floyd Wood as District Finance Officer. Frank Annable was also chosen as District Welfare Officer, and E C. Potter was selected as Barry County Commander. Al the Auxiliary session the follow­ ing were installed os district officers: Mrs. Skinner. Nile*, secretary; Mr*. Schrumpf. Niles, committee woman; Mrs. Webster. Niles, treasurer; Mrs. E. F. Sayles. Hastings, historian; Mrs. Max Lewis. Sturgis, publicity officer. A report of the welfare work was given, which was intcresUng. The dis­ trict. at it* last convention, voted to assist a Gold Star mother, who could not otherwise take tlie pilgrimage to France, and a report of this work was given. The lady.

It was a proud and happy time for her and her family when she was outfitted and ready to start for France, when? she I* at the present time. The dis­ trict feels well repaid for the money they expended to help thia Gold Star mother. It was also reported that there is a new superintendent at the Otter Lake Billet, where seventy-two children are now being given a good home and ed­ ucation. This is another noble activ­ ity of the Legion and Auxiliary, For having the largest representation coming from a distance, the local Post and Unit were presented with a gong for use on the desk of the presiding officer.

Three large bams were recently de­ stroyed by fire near Hastings, Min­ nesota In one week. The cause hi each case was given as spontaneous combustion, resulting from heated hay. None of the barns was equipped with cupolas. • Tlie United States Department of Agriculture offers three recommenda­ tions for the prevention of spontaneous combustion: First, mowing only prop­ erly cured hay; second, the use of salt on green hay and third, free ven­ tilation after storage.

The jury awarded the plaintiff 3100 ns damages. The attorney for the defendants m this case moved that the Judge set aside this verdict, on the ground that it was contrary to law. On Monday Judge McPeek filed his opinion in the The opinion starts out with the statement that the Judge would base his action in the matter on the conduct of the plaintiff's driver, who in this case was her husband. The opinion goes on os follows: "The driver of Mrs Smith's car testi­ fied that he first saw the lights of de­ fendants’ truck about 1.000 feet away, thinking at the time that it was upon its. own right hand side of the rood. He further slated that the lights ot lhe truck so blinded him that he could not distinguish the body of the truck, nor see Ita exact position upon the roadway. PART How Rapidly Weeks Slip Away...

Many a man has lost his opportunity in life because he had NO MONEY when MONEY WAS NEEDED. which point he learned of its location in his path and of the imminence of a collision if he did not swerve his car one way or the other.

"It is my judgment that this case is squarely within the well recognized authority of this state. In the case of Spencer vs. Taylor, in 218 Michigan, page 110. Mr. Justice Clark said: "It is settled that it is negligence, as a matter of law. to drive an automobile along a public highway in the dark at such a speed that it cannot be stopped within the distance that ob­ jects can be seen ahead of it." "A corollary to this rule, pointed out in the case of Haney vs. Trost, 242 Michigan. Page 693, one who fails to see an obstruction, without regard to the defectiveness of vision, is held to be contributory to the resulting col­ lision.

Your Lime Dalian Come Back Multiplied BECAUSE It 1 —Sweetens sour soil* 2— Loosens day soils 3— Tightens sandy soils 4— Betters physical condition of gravelly or mucky soils 5— Hastens desirable fermentation in soils 6— Promotes growth and develops plant life 7— Frees plant foods g—Produces an abundance of yield otherwise unobtainable Soil may have an abundance of the essential elements, such as potash, phosphorus and nitrogen, and yet fail to produce good crops. The reason for this is that it does not contain sufficient lime. Kelley Island Meal corrects this deficiency and is particularly effective in stimulating the growth of such crops as Alfalfa, Clover, Com, Oats, Sweet Clover and Wheat. The organic matter in the soil is not destroyed through the use of lime, on the contrary, decay and assimilation are hastened and the soil enriched. This profitable Meal is sold on guaranteed analysis (both chemical and sieve tests), so that thereJs never any question as to every shipment coming up to this high standard. repreientatiif today regarding yonr reyuirrmenli THE KELLEY ISLAND LIME A TRANSPORT CO.

We have the most modem equipment for the scientific pasteurization and most cordially invite you to inspect.it, as well as our dairy plant. We are sell­ ing pure pasteurized milk at just as low a price as it can be sold for. Can you afford to run any chances by using RAW MILK in your home?

C.L Qu One unusual book that has been quite generally overlooked is "Buying an Honest House." by Milton Tucker. Pos­ sibly thc title is not Interesting but the content certainly Is. Tucker also writes in an Interesting and readable style. Franklin Roosevelt, now governor of New York and formerly chairman of the American construction council, has made the statement that, "The average person does not get suitable values for hts money in buying a building or home." The purpose of this book is to give a few useful and practical hints in judging price and quality. It tells where to look for defects and under­ surface signs of decay or deterioration. Because of its style and pertinent con­ tent. It seems to fulfill its purpose of helping the average person get "suit­ able values for his money." Right now the proposition of "working every dol­ ucolSks'1!1 . lar hard" is an Important one. A book Interesting to lovers of lhe drama Is "American Playwrights of To­ day." by Bums Mantle. In an intimate and racey style hc discusses American dramatists and their accomplishments —or lack of accomplishment. Among the leading ones he discusses In his honor group are: Eugene O’Neill. George. Kelley, Bldhey Howard. Paul Green, Owen Davis, and Zona Gale. ctESKSNCH ON ALL OUR PAINTS LOOK!

She has lived there many years and has made expeditions to many of Its unfrequented byways. An especially Interesting section of this book describes life among the Pygmies. Another book that deserves more cir­ culation than it has had Is 'The Sea Devil." by Lowell Thomas, an account of the amazing wartime exploits of that colorful figure. Count von Luckner. Who would ever have believed that the captain of an enemy ship out to de­ stroy all allied merchantmen possible could ever have become a personifica­ tion of international friendship be­ cause of these wartime deeds! but a rousing, jolly devil who provoked smiles instead of frowns and who amused instead of crushed. He was a lovable devil whose gallantry and con­ sideration to his captives, whose cool courage, and whose magnetic person­ ality have done much to relieve, the tension between the "Vaterland" and our own country. After reading tills book we are not surprised that a party ot his former captives feted him with an elaborate banquet in New York. Ijickner now ranks with "Gallant Old Tom” Lipton as a favorite in this country. Another series of books In the library that may prove particularly useful at this season of the year are: "House Painting.” by Alvah Horton Sabin; "Your House," by John R. McMahon; "Practical Book of Home Repair." by Chelsea Fraser; and ’Tinkering WithTools.” by Henry H. Saylor. To these who enjoy delving into the how and why of ordinary things. "House Painting” will undoubtedly be most interesting. Sabin knows his paints both from a theoretical and practical standpoint, and he knows how to put his ideas down in readable form. A slight knowledge of chemistry Is nec­ essary for the complete enjoyment of this book. People who like to putter about with repair work, household improvdnents. etc., will get some valuable leads froln he books by Fraser and Baylor. Un­ doubtedly almost every houewlfe wishes lhat lhe man of her choice had a more usable knowledge of the material given in. "Your House."

Today's biggest surprise is the unex­ pected application of Free Wheeling to thc one Studebaker Eight that seemed too low-priced to command it. Free Wheeling, with positive gear control . . . until now obtainable only in thc President and Commander Eights ... is today offered in a new Dictator Eight st a new low price! Now, with greater power and exqui­ site new beauty, thc Dictator Eight is more than ever first of all Eights at its pace. And it tops the great records it has piled up For economy of operation with thc super-economy of Free Wheeling. Free Wheeling means thc harnessing of momentum and the consequent sav­ ing of 12% to 20% in gas and oil con­ sumption. Free Wheeling delivers five miles and charges for four . . . your en­ gine has “worked" only 8,000 miles when it lias travelled 10,000 miles. Chassis wear is reduced. Tire life is lengthened. You can shift from high to second, back and forth, at 40 — 50 miles an hour and never touch ftie clutch.

Harriet Lucinda Miller, aged 89 years, 5 months and one day, and an earnest life-long resident of Assyria tcwnahlp, pawed away Tuesday after­ noon September 9. at ’he home ot her daughter. Mrs. Charles Purseli, where she baa made her home for lhe past three years. Bhe was born in Indiana, April 8. 1841. and came to Michigan In 1849 with her parents who located on a farm south of Lacey and twelve miles north of Battle Creek. On April 17. 1858 she was married to Jasper Miller. The wedding took place in the Briggs schoolhouse at a prayer meeting. Al­ though the schoolhouse was crowded that day, only two persons are now alive who witnessed that ceremony. The young couple started housekeeping In a log house on a farm which Mr. Miller had already purchased from the government. Tills was their home tat 49 years, when Mr. Miller's longing was fulfilled by buying a farm near there wiiere he had worked when a young man. To this union eight children were bom. Mrs. Kiva Payne and Mrs. Joel E. Moore of Battle Creek. Mr*. Charles Purseli of Assyria, and Laura Miller who passed away April 9, IBM *t the age'of twenty, and Arthur. John, and Fred Miller of Assyria and Jesse Miller of Na&bvillc. Bhe also opened her home to eight foster children. She is also survived by 34 grandchildren, 37 great­ grandchildren. and 8 great-greatgrondchildren. Mr. Miller died March fl, 1915. Follow­ ing his death Mrs. Miller and her daughter, Mrs. Elva Payne, moved to Nashville where they lived for seven years. While there she united with the Methodist Episcopal church of that town. She was a charter member of the Congregational church of I-accy and an earnest Christian worker. Many of the people of Assyria remember her as their Bunday achool teacher.

After a short skirmish in their own ter­ ritory. Wayland punted. Jake Miller caught the ball on Hastings 35-yard line and with tlie aid of splendid inter­ ference ran 65 yards for a touchdown. During this run. Jake exhibited a pret­ ty change of pace and sidestepping that fooled the opposing tacklers. Has­ tings again missed the extra point Hastings 13; Wayland 0. Coach Hawthorne then began to send in his substitutes, leaving only a skele­ ton force of first-string men. The play for the remainder of the quarter was a see-saw affair with Hastings always threatening to score but lacking the necessary punch. Alf Williams and Bob Fighter fea­ tured the playing of this period. These two ends were never once drown in and were always there to smear fake plays. In many instances, the opposing run- good gain when Alf or Bob dove In to bowl him over. . The half ended with Hastings in possession of lhe ball on Wayland’s 37-yard line. Hastings tried several passes during thte half but was not to connect with them consistently. The best gains were made by end runs or off-tackle charges. Hastings kicked-off at the opening of the second half. Wayland ran the ball back five yards and punted after a scries of plays had failed to gain con­ sistently. On the first play, Wilcox took the ball on a beautifully-executed fake play and ran sixty yard* for a touch­ down around right end. While tearing down the sideline.

All attempts at lhe line, however, were smeared before they were well started. But the short. Jabbing passes had the Hastings de­ fense men guessing tor a time. Wayland was halted before reaching Hastings' territory and punted. Miller received the kick on the run and almost got dear for another dash to the goal. Hastings then drove Way­ land back down the field by a series of' end runs and plunges to the one-yard I line where 6am Young dove through for the fourth touchdown of lhe game. Hastings kicked goal.

It has been demonstrated beyond question and the greatest Medical Research men all agree, that RAW MILK is often a car­ rier of disease germs, and epidemics of disease have been traced DIRECTLY to its use. But NO EPIDEMIC OF DISEASE HAS EVER BEEN TRACED TO THE USE OF PROPERLY PAS­ TEURIZED MILK. Thus Louis Pasteur, the great scientist, proved that he was RIGHT when he said that' the proper pasteur­ ization of raw milk KILLS ALL DISEASE GERMS and makes it SAFE for human use. The proper pasteurization of raw .milk, as defined by the United Statea Board of Agriculture, and the Health Boarda of varioua citiea and atatea, is the process by which raw milk ia quickly cooled after being taken from the cow, then heated to a temperature of 142 degrees and held at this tem­ perature for 30 minutes, thee quickly cooled again. Pasteur discovered that thia process KILLS the DISEASE GERMS in raw milk and destroys all pathogenic organisms which might be present, such as streptococci and the bacteria causing tuberculosis, ty- phoid, scarlet fever and diphtheria. Surveys have definitely proved that pasteurization has very largely re­ duced the infantile death rate caused by intestinal disturbances. Milk boils at 212 degrees. Pasteurization re­ quires only 142 degrees. Pasteuriza­ tion does not affect the TASTE or the QUALITY of the milk. At large expense we have installed the best and most fnodem equipment for the scientific pasteurization of milk, which we most cordially invite you to inspect at ANY TIME conven­ ient to you. . Wouldn ’t You Rather Use Milk That You Know Is Safe ? Why Not Begin Today? A Phone Will Bring Us! The Highlands Dairy ROBERT W. COOK, Propr. Telephone 2651 Hastings, Michigan ft is perhaps not generally known' that the inspiration which led 8. W. Straus to devote many yean of his life j and expend a small fortune in his! efforts to spread the gospel of thrift' among the American people, sprang from the precepts of thrifty parents Early in the years of hir thrift work I he once said: "My father was. in his! early day-;, a poor man but he knew the value pf economy and out of a! very meager Income he saved »500 with i i which he made a start in business.. Fundamentally, the secret of my I father's success as he moved into the' larger activities of business, was his keen appreciation of thrift. He and my good mother had learned what it meant lo live within their means, to spend money carefully, to save wisely, i Thus from the days of my earliest youth the value of thrift was instilled within me and now. looking back over lhe years of early life even up to the, period of young manhood and the be- j ginning of my own business career.; there comes tile consciousness of al debt of gratitude to my father and! mother so deep that it can never be! repaid. No other inheritance ever! could liave equaled the lessons inj thrift I learned from them. Could a more worthy monument be erected to tlie memory of my dear parents than1 the Inauguration of a movement1, through which others might receive . the benefit of thrift education?" In all the activities In which 8. W.' Straus was engaged tliere was always this added impulse which came with the memory of these thrifty parents, steadfast in their devotion to a prin-| ciple which they fully realized meant! not only material progress but which contributed to the development of a sturdv character. Wliile 8. W Straus held to the be­ lief that no man was ever too old to learn the value of thrift, he wax par-1 tlcularly Impressed with the need of. teaching thrift to those of tender! years. Looking back over ills own life he realised only, too well what it meant to gain an understanding of thrift while still in the years of chllfi> hood. And so it was that he did everything within his power to en-i courage the teaching of thrift in our I schools and one of the very last I articles he wrote on thrift before his pen was laid aside forever was an ap­ peal to lhe American people to give more heed lo this phase ot thrift edu­ cation.—By H. R. Daniel.

Saved Money to County and to Litigants and That Judges Favor Settlements An Interesting case, which seemed at I one time to promise a three or four I days' trial, was settled Sept. 18. by lhe six attorneys in the case getting ' together and arriving at a basis of set­ tlement. Our reader* will be Interested In a history ot this case. On March 28. 1928. the Barry Coun­ ty road commission entered into a con­ tract with H. A. Drake it Bon for the construction of 52 miles of class B road, beginning at the Hinds school house in Hope township and continuing on through Cedar Creek and a mile In­ to Barry towpship. • Messrs. Drake & Bon claimed to have sublet a certain portion of this road to George Brott. although Ute Barry County road commission claimed that they never gave their written consent to such subletting. Mr. Brott employed several men to do that part of the work which he had undertaken to perform. Difficulties arose between Brott snd Drake it Son. resulting in a suit, which was tried be­ fore Judge MePeek without a Jury. An opinion was rendered by the Judge in July 1929. Mr. Brott was unable to pay all the labor claims, the gasoline bills, and some other Items incident to his undertaking. Drake it Son likewise had certain creditors, such as the Fidelity *nd Casualty Company of New York, John Conroy and others. When the road was turned over to the county ro$d commission, they had $2,448.74 In the fund still due on the contract for tlie construction of this rood. This was not enough to take care of all lhe.claims which had been filed against the road. The commissioners did not wish to prefer one creditor to an­ other, so they employed the late P. T. Colgrove lo protect their interests. Mr. Coigrove, on August 30. 1929. filed what Is known as “a bill of interpleader.” This. In short, was a suit In which the road commission In substance said: session, which Is claimed by several persons. The commission, therefore, want the court to determine to whom payment shall be made." There were eleven or twelve work­ men whose claims had not been paid, who Joined in employing Mr. Sigler, of this city, who filed tn their behalf a pe­ tition to Intervene. The Standard Oil Company and Wclssert Brothers of this city filed a similar proceeding by at­ torney Adclbert Cortright. Messrs. Dunham it Choiette filed a similar petition In behalf of the Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York. Howard Cavanaugh, a Battle Creek attorney, filed a similar petition for John Conroy. All the parties Interested In the fund, therefore, filed petitions of in­ terpleader. Upon lhe death of Mr. Ooigrove, William O Bauer appeared as attorney in behalf of the Barry County Road Messrs. Bailey it McAuliff. Battle Creek attorneys, represented Drake and Son in this litigation. The case was set for trial - before Judge McPeek on Thursday. September 18. It looked as if It would be a long drawn-out trial, because of the many interests involved and the divergent plalms of the respective parties. It wa* apparent that many legal entangle­ menu were involved, which would mean a lengthy trial. The six lawyers went into confer­ ence. immediately after the opening of court Thursday morning. In an effort to arrive at an amicable adjustment. After arguing the matter, pro and con, each attorney attempting to protect the rights and Interests of hi* client to the best of hl* ability, .a settlement was drawn and submitted to Judge McPcek. The Judge commended the attorneys for their efiorLs to aettle the case. He stated. In substance, that settlements are favored by the‘court*. He called at­ tention to the saving lor the county as well as the litigants in avoiding a long and costly trial. PRICE CUTTING WAR, REACHES HASTINGS To become DEPENDENT when unable to work any more la a tragedy . . . and Life is filled with just such tragedies. The REASON is usually because of FAILURE TO FORM THE HABIT OF SAVING WHILE EARNING! There are more people saving today tn America than ever before in its history. —It has become popular to save. —Money-Saving habits are taught in our schools. A lively prtee-cuttlng war between various companies producing and sell­ ing gasoline and oil in western Michi­ gan. as well as in some cities In east­ ern Michigan, has recently broken out. For a time It did not effect prices In this city; but up to this writing a slice of two cento a gallon has been tak- IL appears that some at the inde­ pendent companies, got anxious for business and cut prices. The larger companies, like the Standard OU and the Shell, could not Initiate price-cut­ ting. They would be accused, because they are such large companies, ot try­ ing to force the smaller ones out of existence. But when the small com­ panies start a war the big companies are privileged to follow suit, as they did in tills case. Meeh Ado About Nothing. —Parents start small savings accounts in this bank for their children. —Men, women, boys and girls, every­ where are starting savings accounts. —Savings deposits in banks are the largest they have ever been.

FORECASTS HIGH­ DRILLING FOR OIL HAS ER PRICES FOR PORK PROVED A FAILURE Unfavorable Corn Crop and Not Encouraging Outlook In Deduced Supply of Hogs Barry Oounty—Some Traces Will Raise Market Of “Black Gold” Found The Washington Department of Agri­ culture states that a reduction In the suply of hogs suitable for slaughter has brought the supply to the lowest point in ten yean. This will increase the price for the 1930-1931 market year'. The Department, forecasting higher prices, said that they would be accompanled by relatively high feed price* also. 1 “The short com crop ot 1930." the Department said, “and the present fa­ vorable corn ratio is expected to reduce the fall pig crop of 1930 and the spring and fall pig crop of 1931. This probably crease in hog production that would otherwise be started this fall, had corn production been equal to the average or better "Slaughter from lhe 1931 pig crop, which will come to market In 1931 and 1932. may possibly be considerably smaller than that from the 1924’ pig crop, which followed the short crop or corn In 1924. and thus the smallest slaughter In ten years.” This would indicate that It would be wise for any farmer who Is in position to do to to plan for plenty of pjgs next year, which would of course mean he must also plan to raise the feed neces­ sary for them. - OBITUARY.

McCain the next batter made a pretty single which landed Chase on third. Leonard the next batter up j basted a terrific liner towards the first baseman. the ball going with such ' speed that lie could neither get hi* hands on it nor get out of the way. The ball struck him on the leg. but [ instead of bounding somewhere way off in the field as any well behaved ball should, it glanced right off into 1 the seednd baseman's hands and re­ sulted in a put out and the retirement I of the side. Had that ball glanced off in any other direction, excepting the one score for Hastings, and perhaps more. In the seventh Inning, after two men were retired Roush made a nice single, followed by Cronkhlte who made his second single, placing him on first and Roush on third. Chase was hit by a pitched ball, filling the ba*ta. This brought up Herrington, the head of the Hastings butting list and a good batter, but the fly that he |x>pp«i up was taken by the shortstop, retiring the side. But regardless of all the "ifs" and all the breaks of the contest, it was anybody's game right up until the last man was out.

In these events, the scouts circled about a group of Indian clubs, -trying to force one another to upset them. A contestant who upset a club or who let lhe rope slip from his grasp was disqualified. As a result, the circle be­ came smaller, and smaller until only two boys remained. During the melee, lhe spectators wer given an exciting exhibition of agile turns. Jumps and side-steps. The Junior events was for boys who -weighed less than 110 pounds and the senior event for boys who weighed more. Troop 72 won first place In the Jun­ ior event, scoring five points.

Saturday, fifteen scouts and three leaders are scheduled to go as ushers to the Miohlgan-Purdue g«me at Ann Arbor. They will have charge of one whole aisle. This season,.Scout Rallfes are to be held in January and April with courts of honor scheduled for the montiis in between. At the courts of honor, merit badge awards will be made. from this period there is little danger of a positive cow to the blood test spreading the disease to other cattle. Segregation and sanitation at lime of calving were strongly stressed. The bull is not held, by Dr. Kllham, to be a great spreader of the disease, but he did state that great care should be exercised not to allow positive cows to come Into a clean herd for service, as this spreads the disease, many times, to the clean herd. Dr. Kllham feels that the disease can be controlled by segregation and care, and he. In cooperation with County Agent Harold Foster, will con­ duct several demonstration herds in the county basing their work oh' the blood test and segregation. OBITUARY.

S. T luncheon of the Commercial dub wu new Phoenix superintendent of school* at Allegan but Is now connected with the Warren S Holmes Co., architects of Lansing. His talk was an explanation of what our new school building on the central grounds will be when completed. The C. M. St. John Company are the con­ tractors and George Marchon 1* the superintendent of contraction work. Mr. Shigley stated that the architec­ ture Is of the Georgian or colonial type. A tower is put upon this bulld­ HOSIERY architecture applied to public build­ ing*. The tower Is again coming Into use. At the present time there is being built’ on the Harvard University grounds immense buildings, of the dormitories. Each one has a tower in harmony with the type used on the new building here. He stated that the same as were, used in the old colonial type of brick buildings. Speaking of the interior of the new school building, he said that, for the sake of utility, the two stories are divided Into units. Each unit is ten I feet in length and about 23 feet wide. I Each unit is provided with connections for heating, lighting, etc. He said this unit type was adopted because with 11 the rooms can be so readily remodeled. For Instance: if there should be a con­ siderable growth in this city and more room for the Junior High and tlic grades became necessary, having a building on the unit plan will make rooms. Practically all of the rooms arc now three units in length. It it should be necessary to increase to tour for any reason. It would be a simple matter of moving partitions without In the slightest degree changing the ouilding luelf. In other words—this plan pro­ vides a flexible way to meet such needs a* the future may develop. Another feature Is the heating. Mr. Shigley called attention to the radio-1 tors In the room where the Com­ mercial club meets, which extend along the side* of the room on the walls. In a school room the law would not permit children to sit within two or three feet of these radiators, so that would be impossible for children tc get as near the windows as is often de- I sirable. To avoid this interference the spliUystcm of heat radiation was adopted. This consists of live steam going through large coil* of pipe. | Against these steam healed coil* air . is blown and the heated air to brought I into each room twelve or Afteen feet I above the floor. The air Is taken out of the room near the Aoor. Thl* per- I mils easy access to the window*, changes the air frequently and pro­ vides for plenty of heal and ventlla-1 tion In every room.

President Jaeksou, Hong Kong Harbor. September 1J, 1W0. Dear Mother. . Il la too hot to be *x|>endlng much energy so I am staying quietly aboard ship. There is not much air stirring but I have found a place out In the hall on the promenade deck where all the breeee seems to congregate and have pulled a Utile table out here foe the typewriter and am quite com­ fortable. We arrived here yesterday morning al breakfast time, ft wa* a clear bright day and the views that came into sight as we progressed between the islands Into thl* land-locked barbor were entrancing. The hills are high and rise directly from the water and. which is most unusual for this time of year, they are all green. Gen­ erally they are as brown as the Cali­ fornia hills In summer. There are many steamers In the harbor and hundreds of Chinese junks. Filling the available space between the junks are many little sampans with their per­ manent residents. How a complete family including children, cats, dogs and chickens can live on the few square feet-of deca available in a sampan is a marvel. As soon as we were tied up at the dock in Kowloon, which U across the Uulu bay from Hong Kong, the winches started to grind and. from that time to this, except for a few hours in the middle of the night, they have been removing some 50.000 sacks of flour from the bowels of the ship. There Is i*Xhlng quiet about a crowd of Chinamen when they are at work and Ute wave lengths that are not Ailed by the grinding, roaring steam winches are fully taken up by shouting Chinks. I went ashore yesterday soon after we were secured and went across to Hong Kong in the Star Ferry. These boats run every five or ten minutes and arc clean and comfortable. The top deck Is filled with British Tom­ mies, benign old Chinamen In long white coats and Britishers in white clothes and cork helmets which they rail Topees. Many of the men are in short trousers with bare knee*. After crossing I went directly to call oti Mr. Oreyburn. the Chief Manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Cor|x>ration, with whom I had busi­ ness. My visit with him was most in­ teresting. It waa just .at the opening of the banking day. and he was con­ stantly interrupted by employees and others for his approval and decision in transactions of exchange. One man came in to buy 12,000,000 exchange on bank's custodian of its cash, tried unawwssfully to get authority for some other donceeslon from the posted rate of exchange on Shanghai. A typical young Englishman, whom I could understand only With difficulty, asked for the exchange rate on Singapore and got it Instantly. Then It was the Now York rale, and another man wanted to buy and did buy some ex­ change on some other place for Octo­ ber. With the extreme fluctuations tn exchange rates, which occur almoa’. dally due both to the low price of sil­ ver. on which all of Uila oriental money is bawd, and the vagaries ot crxnmerce this rr. |x>nsibtllty .of deciaton to great.

In xhe entrance and in the by ware at least eight heavily armed Sikh policeman, but the en­ trance to Mr. Grryburn s office was unguarded and I went la unan­ nounced. After concluding my business with the bank I wept to the Hong Kong Hotel and checked my brief case and started out to window shop. Tourist business has been poor and the shops arc anxious for trade Prices are lower Ihgn last year. In the first place you can get three Hong Kong dollars for one American now, as against Only about two for one in-normal times and. In addition, business has been so poor that they have cut their prices in many cases, even in the Hong Kong currency. I had not been on the street lone before a young Chinaman picked me up who wanted to take me to a store I went along and he *pen| the whole morning with me for a tip of about 30 cents. I was looking for Jade, amber and crystal. Good jade is very scarce and I was in at least 40 little Chines? jewelry stores. I only found three pieces that I would have and they were too expensive. Amber Is very cheap but not plentiful. In my travels I found some old Jade Jars and an old crystal jar that I would like to own. The Jade Jars were carved and beau­ tiful. both tn color, shape and outline but the price waa M00 00 Hong Kun,: so I passed them up. One wiw had the Ume and some money could pick up beauUful pieces of old porcelain and curved jade ^nd crystal. All of these shops are tiny and ax a rule only have a few good pieces. Bo although it la-very interesting to go into them and talk—talk in "Pidgin English''—It does Ure you out. I had a very intereating Ume in an ivory carving shop.

Ralph Eggleston and Henry Karcher Turned It Over to Big Rapids Sheriff Ralph Eggleston of this dty and Henry Karcher -of Freeport, saved to a Grand Rapids woman. Mrs. Flora O'Mella, a considerable sum of money and a lot of worry Saturday night last. Messrs. Eggleston and Karcher had driven to Chippewa lake, where Mr. Eggleston has a cottage. This is about ten miles north of Big Rapids. They drove from the lake to Big Rapids that evening to get their supper. On the way they saw In tlie road atiead of them, at a point where there was brush on cadi aide of the highway, a traveling bag. At first they suspected it might be a ruse by which a bandit might wish to jure them to pick up the bag, so he could hold them up. So they drove past lt\ Then Mr. Eggleston stopped his car and said to his part­ ner: "I have a permit to carry a reare willing to take the chance to go back and pick up the handbag I will itn my revolver ready for lor follow you with It seems as If we ought Instant use.

Kanehl's office at Big Rapids and left the grip, feeling sure that someone would try to find it and were certain that the sheriff would see that it got to the right party, as it did. Inside the bag was a certificate of de­ posit for *3.300, a check for *30.00 and *21.00 in cash and other valuables. They found the name of Mrs. O'Melia and her Grand Rapids address in the bag. Sheriff Kanehl communicated with Grand Rapids police who. early Sunday morning, brought word to Mrs. O'Mella that her property waa waiting for at Sheriff Kanehl's office. Mr*. O'Mella Joyously drove to Big Rapids Monday and reclaimed It. Mrs. O'Mella iiad been careless in putting her bag on the running board of her car. She did not discover her loss until she reached Big Rapids. She drove back to the Chippewa lake road, near Big Rapids and made inquiries of drivers of cars who came from the north; but she missed Mr. Eggleston and his partner. Mrs. O'Mella felt it her lost property so she kept on to Grand Rapids. "I kept hoping and praying" she said Monday night "that good people would find it- These are hard times and some people I know might be tempted to do what they would not at another time; but the men who found my purse were the right sort.” They surely were and Mr. Eggleston was mighty glad that he had the opportunity to give tills service. - IN PLACE ONCE AGAIN WUI Ring Forth From New Tower Resembling That On Famous Independence HaU Boys' Knee Men's Knee Sports Boots Hip Boots . . $2.79 . 2\98 . 4.49 . 4.98 Boyi’ Leather Hi-Cuts With Jack Knife!

Yet Americans are allowed smoking tobacco of an inferior grade, cigarettes, candy of a sort and white flour, all ot which are taboo for the Russians, dur­ ing this five year*period.

The two bandits were arrested and confessed. Just as did another cowardly young brute in Port Huron a few days ago. who likewise Confessed murdering a policeman and admitted a long career of holdups, robbery and shooting. Yesterday the two Battle Creek bandits were haled before court, plead guilty to murder, were sentenced to life imprisonment at Jackson, and the daily press made considerable men­ tion of- the swift "Justice" administered. But 1* it "justice to overlook the cold blooded, brutal murder of a young charge of his duty to society?

These two bandits were sentenced for ••life," but the records show that the average murderer spends but about It years be­ hind the bars, when the Pardon Board %lso maintained by lax-payers, gets busy and paroles him. He is then free lo get out and continue preying upon society, m ao many paroled con­ victs do. until apprehended again. A "life-sentence" in Michigan for a brutal, cold-blooded muidercr isn't "justice"—it's a farce, and a travesty on Justice. Some day let us hope that the good people of Michigan will arouse them­ selves. and for the sake of Justice and the protection of society, pass a capital punishment law that will protect peaceable, law-abiding citizens, from the onslaughts of murderous bandits. Such brutal murders do not happen Just occasionally. They are getting to be ordinary, every-day affairs, and WHY? Simply because these mur­ derous young cowards KNOW that if they are caught, the very limit of pun­ ishment they will receive is a "life-im­ prisonment"—which in Michigan means about 14 years. They' will be kept at the expense of the taxpayers, in a splendidly equipped institution, also maintained by taxpayers. Our present system of dealing with brutal murderers is positively assinine. If this state would start out on a fixed rigid' policy of hanging, or electrocuting cold blooded murderers at least three big benefits would re­ sult. First, we wouldn't have so many murderers second, society would not be contaminated by the reproduction of their kind; third, tax-payers would be relieved of the expense of their keep. Hutingi. Mich.

Tlie manufacture of the wood sub­ stitutes is similar to tlie making of paper from wood pulp. The corn stalks or straw are run through a shredder where they are flrtfly ground.

"I have never believed that our form of government could satisfactorily solve economic problems by direct action—by having the government conduct busi­ ness Institutions. The government can and must cure abuses. What the gov­ ernment can do best is to encourage and assist in the creation and develop­ ment of Institutions controlled by our citizens and evolved by themselves from their own needs, from their own experlences and directed by them In a sense of trusteeship for the public Interest." The President stated that In normal times 90 per cent of all manufactured products as well as farm products are consumed in our own country. The economic conditions of other nations have curtailed and will continue to’ cur­ tail our exports for some time. But at the present time they are about 70 per cent of normal. What we need to do to restore prosperity Is to get our home consumption of American products up to the normal 90 per cent, which would bring to America a return of good times. The Important thing Is for our peopie whose incomes have not been lowered to buy In a normal way and. If possible, to increase their purchases. It Is vitally Important that we all have that faith In the future of our country which has helped America through every trial In her history and will help her through the present one. The following, quoted from the Presi­ dent's address, gives the view of the best posted man in this country on world conditions as well as on condi­ tions In our own country. He said: and several folks in the political world, who resent the notion that things will ever get better and who wish to enjoy our temporary misery. To recount to tion between the people and the gov­ ernment in amelioration of this situa­ tion. or to mention that we are suffer­ ing far less than other countries, or that savings are piling up in the banks, or that our people are paying off In­ stallment purchases, that abundant capital Is now pressing for new. ven­ tures and employment, only inspires the unkind retort that we should fix our gaze solely upon the unhappy fealures of the decline.

This country is, and has been for some time past, in the soundest economical con­ dition of any country in the world. Nothing can effectually stem the course of her progress. Neither doubt nor pessi­ mism can cloud the evidence of vitality which shines through at this time. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) does not presume to prophecy. Unfortunately there have been too many prophets end too few patrons of business during thq past nine months. This company comes forward with direct and tangible evidence that industry is quickening to the new season — rousing • itself to action. The industrial lubrication department of this organization reflects this activity. Manufacturing plants that were previously inactive have recently placed orders for in­ dustrial lubricants. More and more concerns which were running along at average capac­ ity, now increase their orders for lubricants. Happily, this condition cannot be isolated. If orders for lubricants are being placed, then orders for other commodities are being placed with other concerns. That means more capital is being spent. Mark the significance of this news. It is an accurate index. It indicates that business has ploughed through the worst of the period of depression. It ia time to push. It is time for industry, in general, to mobilize its forces. It is time for every man and woman in America to look squarely to the solid structure of the country, and not at the shifting fogs which doubt and pessimism create. It is time to spend — time to buy. It ia time to gat into stride with the new season. Standard Oil Company ing. Three new membera were added GULL LAKE.

E, Waters & Son Hastings, Michigan alives and did not wish them to have a cent. He liad a few friends he wanted to remember in a small way. The rest of his property lie wanted to give for some worth-while purpose, but he did ’1 not know what that might mlsht be. so he , had come to a lawyer. Mr. Hamilton I suggested he might desire to remember some church Thc air became sulphur­ ous immediately with his denunciation of churches. The attorney suggested that a hospital might be a worthy object for hl* money. That was not for him. He had no use for hospi­ tals. It ended by the man insisting that the residue at hl* estate, aside from the few bequests to friends, was to go to build a big mausoleum in the cemetery, upon which many thousands of dollars were lavished—a very sense­ less proposition. Tills made Mr Hamilton think there surely ought to be some organlMllon. which could be perpetuated, to which money could be bequeathed for pur­ poses which no one tould question. There was therefore organized tJic Bat­ tle Creek Foundation, its trustees made up of leading citizens serving without pay. They are empowered to receive bequest*, the income from which must be used for helping such causes and doing such welfare work In Battle Creek as will benefit its people. He pointed out how legacies have been left far specific purposes which economic changes have rendered useless; so the money cannot be utili­ zed for any purpose. We cannot anti­ cipate what will be needed in Battle Creek or any other city 100 years from bequests to it ao ’he income can be used for apch good puroscs »* may then be deemed moat helpful. Since this Foundation waa established. Mr. Hamilton, said, considerable sums had been given to it and many wills have been drawn providing bequests to It । which will become available In the fuI ture. Thia plan Is certainly worth while | for any town. We would like to see such a Foundation organised for HasUngs. We believe that no speaker in the history of the Brotherhood wa* ever listened to wilh greater interest than Mr. Hamilton.

Hl* is the typical face of one who start* out in life with the notion that "the world owes me a living without my putting forth any effort to earn it." Official records, which Prosecutor Bauer had gathered, showed that in 1921, when Todd wa* but 17, he was one of a group of young men who stole a quantity of articles from the Pere Marquette Railroad Co. at Ludington. He plead guilty to this felony. The circuit Judge let him off on parole. He violated the terms of his parole and gain a* fa*t os hl* friend* would like to have him. and found him much better.

Bonne­ ville and Eva and Merle of Battle Creek visited them last week and Mr. Ionia. That lesson did not have the desired effect, for in* September, 1923, he was charged with stealing goods from a filling station in Ingham county. The officer* must iusve liad a strung case against him. for he confessed his guilt Watch ApPEN- years at Marquette prison. He served the five years. This evidently did not teach him that he was on the wrong track, for on June 3. 1930, in the circuit.court at Ludington he was convicted of posses­ sion and giving away •’hooch." The Judge gave him a fine of »2D0 and put him on probation for three yearn. He was on probation for this third felony when he. with the other two now serving a 12', years’ sentence at Jackson, robbed the filling station here. He confessed to leading a dissolute life, which is what might be expected coming an enemy of civilization in or­ der to avoid work. Todd . asked Judge McPeek* to send him to Marquette, when he Mid he' knew the prison official* and liked them. We wish every one of our readers I could have heard the kind, sympathetic, I yet straightforward talk which the I Judge gave this young man. He ex­ plained first that the crime code in Michigan left him no option in the I case of a fourth felony of this nature. It called for a life sentence. He said he hoped that Todd would *o conduct I himself a* to earn the confidence of the prison authorities. It pained him, he Mid. to tell a young man that he must be a prisoner for the rest of hi* J day*; but the law fixed that a* the penalty, and he fully sympathized with it* alm. which is to make human life safer and property more secure.

One of the most priceless boons that parents can give to their children is GOOD HEALTH and strong bodies. One of the most pitiful sight* in the world is to see a brilliant mind, backed up by a weak, frail physique. The world’s great men are almost invari­ ably STRONG MEN—strong in body a* well a* in mind. After all, the hu­ man family is a good deal like the plant family. It depend* quite a lot on the “start” they get a* to how they "grow up." Parents are naturally solicitous about their offspring and are anxious to see them develop into good, strong, healthy men and women, capable of taking their place* in the world. ' It is now a fully determined FACT that good, clean, pure milk i* abso­ lutely essential to the physical de­ velopment of growing children, a* well as adults. But Louis Pasteur, the eminent scientist, discovered beyond any question of doubt, that RAW MILK IS A CARRIER OF DISEASE GERMS. He also discovered a pro­ cess by- which all the disease germa and harmful organism* In raw milk are destroyed — called "Pasteuriza­ tion.” ■tailed a complete, modern equipment for the scientific “Pasteurization” of milk, just aa Louis Pasteur discovered milk la taken from the. cow* it ia QUICKLY COOLED, aa science ha* diacovered that germs multiply RAP­ IDLY in warm milk.

Bod os it Is for the farmer in cutting down hla home market, it Is infinitely worse for the laborer, out of a Job. and alth the automobile andthc radlc still to pay for. The new philos­ ophy was clearly wrong, as most of us suspected all along. In this connection permit me to quote briefly from a farm book I wrote « r ’ "NO SIREE . . . you don’t get,me out of bed at this hour!" That is a suggestion for a new kind of Christmas room, for Dad . . . one in the kitchen, for Mother . .. or one in the living room, for the entire family.

He had stubbed his A Dollar Is a Dollar But Put it in the Bank and it is Soon Something More! too bad to laugh. That’s our fix exactly. lay a good bit of the blame for our trouble on those who have pushed the son. and lo my mind our agricultural organizations should have called this gigantic bluff long ago. But there arc other reasons for our predicament, also largely out of con। trol. -With an increasing proportion of our population working in factories rather than out of doors and with resi­ dences kept warmer than ever before lhe national dally food ration is rapid­ ly going down. Besides the additional warmth of homes and factories there is less man­ ual labor done than ever before and that also means less food consumed. For many a so-called laborer does nothing all day long more strenuous than turning a switch or pulling a lev­ er. At many points labor has become almost a sedentary occupa'lon and the lowers the income of the farmer. Then, too, our ladles have been diet­ ing to attain the slender figure. Fash­ ion and tiie ladles liave certainly been against us for some time now though there arc signs of a better day coming at this point. As if this were not enough there has been in recent years a veritable campaign against meat eat- tables. Much of It is sane and ridiculous, even harmful to the in­ dividual os well as to the Interests of the farmer. . All this time taxes have been mount­ ing like a fireman up his ladder. Taxes on business arc mostly levied on in­ come but taxes on agriculture are laid on the investment whether or not It cun produce enough to pay the Im Here ia work for the farm organisa­ tions and they are at the Job. What about a better day ahead? Arc we to have an American agriculture fit for an American citizen? I think so, decidedly, in spite of appearances. For one thing American business has learned a lesson and when we are again in full running order wc shall all tic times we are leaving behind. We do well to encourage every effort, such as President Hoover's, to end unemploy­ ment which cuts thf farmer's home market, the cheapest of all markets to As to when we shall have peace and our "unexampled prosperity." "If labor is underpaid—then labor Is the restoration of normal buying power unable to enjoy a fair share of what in China, in India and even in Europe nobody dares even attempt to prophesy. One factor, however, is silently and persistently at work In our favor and Hist Is increase in population, an ndvantage that nothing can stop with a million and a half new mouths to be fed every year. _ Under favorable conditions mankind can double his numbers every 35 years. We have never done quite that but for a century we doubled every 30’ypars, and the last doubling took only 40 years. I have seen the population double twice, and my father saw It double three time* as have some men yet living. When my father was born' there were no more people in the United States than are now clustered about Manhattan Island. How rapidly do conditions changel Yes. the population of the world has doubled in the last 100 years and ours in the last 40 years. When ours doubles again, as It soon will, there will be no mourning about a supposed surplus of food, the surplus will then . be the people. We cannot, like the maker of luxuries, persuade the Individual to buy twice what he needs but he will soon double his own numbers without any high-pressure salesmanship on our part and that amounts to the sama thing in the long run. Even now the food surplus is mostly In our eye, or rather in our Imagina­ tion for like the report of Mark Twain's death. It has been “greatly exaggera ted.” A* a matter of fact we have no, surplus of food In this country except of certain articles like wheat and the pigs are reducing that right royally. mas.

Under our Budget Payment Plan, no ready cash is necessary—the cost of modernizing is paid out of Income—by the month.

Colorful Drap Sunless Save for the one forward pass In the. third quarter that grazed the fingers i bed by an Allegan player-on the four: yard line, no long gains were made? But it was the continual hammering of the Hastings' center for gains rang- j ing from two to four or occasionally; ten yards that enabled Allegan to keep Hastings constantly fighting with, their backs to the wall. On offense. Hastings was unable to Puritan Cretonnes 75c»‘1 backs broke through and smeared plays before they got well started. Even al that, however. Miller. Young and Halil managed to turn tiie ends and tackles' for occasional dashes of from three to; nine yards. Miller's 17-yord run in the first quarter was the longest made by cither team. Miller was so humed on the punts that hte boots averaged less than usual. • A blocked punt In the first feu- min­ utes of play threatened a touchdown' for Allegan but Jake whirled about; and outfaced two opposing players to the ball. From the standpoint of pure foot-| ball it was a beautiful game to watch.1 It was disappointing to see Coach' Hawthorne's team lose but that doesn't alter the fact that both sides i exhibited some of the scrappiest brand I of grid play seen in a Hastings High1 game this fall Late In the final quarter Hastings started a drive tiuit took her from the 20-yard line past mid-field only to have Allegan broke through and covered Jake on attempted passes before lie could spot a prospective receiver. Another feature of the game was the; way in which-tiie Hastings High rooters suddenly came to life and outcheered Allegan in their own stands. For six games during the year they demon-; strated conclusively that they could take victory with a royal Indifference; and at last "snapped out of it" to show I that they could also take a clean-cut defeat with a genuine scrapping spirit on a par with that of their team—and. that te something!! I second team won from Hastings by a their heavier Allegan opponents fairly well on play from scrimmage but weren't able to cope with passes. Next Saturday Ionia comes here for liic final game of the season and Coach Hawthorne's men are going to do their best to finish the season with a win. The game promises to be just as hardfought m tiie Allegan contest. In fact Ionin's record to date is probably a shade better than Allegan's. Two weeks ago they scored twice on the strong Lansing Central team. We cer­ tainly can't complain that the boys haven't given us plenty of thrills on on the sidelines Saturday to make record attendance for the season. Summary: First Team Game.

The Hastings Banner and • My friends bock home: Lately we Americans over here have been enjoying the articles that appear from time to time in some of the States' leading newspapers, concerning our treatment and welfare. According to the Detroit Free Press in a Septem­ ber issue there was an article concern­ ing the now famous -Lewis-Negro" cue. This bit of information came from Riga Latvia, whose correspondent had an interview with Lewis in Poland alien he was deported from Russia His statement concerning our welfare was everything but the truth. So far three Americans have been deported from this colony. Fighting was lhe reason in every case. Fighting In tills country Is a serious offense and when committed by a Russian it usual­ ly means a two year sentence at hard labor. Lewis, who is an American and was one of our group, had been drink­ ing. and was quarrelsome. More for excitement than race hatred'he had a little skirmish with the only negro In our colony. Owing to Lewis’ conduct, which was anything but commendable for an American, especially one who represents himself an a leader, he should figure he got off mighty easy with deportation. He had been warned several times before by our own com­ mittee. At this lime we have approximately 378 men here from America. and somewhere around 150 women and children. 8o far very few have ever complained of the treatment accorded them; and those few have always been considered more or less agitators. It seems when anyone Is deported he concludes that everybody else Is wrong but himself and to make matters worse gives out incorrect data for American papers to publish concerning our wel­ fare. Some articles state lhat we are mis­ treated. poorly fed, and are being held here virtually prisoners. Nothing could be further from the truth. On the con­ trary we arc given every consideration. and are supplied with plenty of food, clothing, etc. Doctors' services, hoapital expenses, nurses, etc., are abso­ lutely free. Conditions, while not the very best, arc far from being poor and are improving from day to day. Our store is for Americana only. It carries a general assortment and one can buy his groceries,- meat, drinks, clothing, furs and all the specialties one needs. We even have an American news­ paper printed in Moscow and also re­ ceive American papers from many European countries and all over the States. The Moscow News Is purely for English-speaking, technical men. who at this time number around 3,000 with more arriving dally to help build up the new enterprises of Russia and Siberia. Some of these men have Men here four years. They represent such con­ cerns as Ford. General Motors, and Genetal Electric. No one ever heard o| these groups being mistreated. Their employees here live as respectable Americans should live. You may quit your job. apply for a visa and return to America any time you wont to. In most cases expenses are paid in full, even if you have been here but a few months. 1 will give you an Idea of what collective fanning means. At Vcrblerd Siberia. Is a wheat farm of 387.000 acres. They use 00 h.p. Holt tractors and giant combines. At Glgont. Siberia, is another large grain farm South of where I am are several large grain farms, some with 167.000 acres. Wheat production Is better than three million acres alone in this section. They are building their own combines Three large tractor plants are going up; a Ford automobile and truck fac­ tory is under construction; a watch factory and mining projeCU are also underway us ore textile factories and shoe factories. In fact anything tliat will modernize Russia in the shortest possible time. There is no question but what Russia ' b 100 years behind the U. 8., but with the aid of skilled mechanics, nnd American methods she should make a wonderful showing In at least 10 years. It is dfttlce&ble in any section you travel in. Railroads, highways, hous­ ing and everything that Is needed is being rushed to the limit. IL is a very ' easy task to get a Russian to work on his off days at no pay simply because he ls lOO per cent sold on this five-year We Americans are given every con­ sideration possible and arc treated like visitors, not like men who arc hired. They won’t arrest an American over here. They will go miles out ot their way to do you a favor and let me add that tipping in Russia is slander. Their food here consists of black bread and fish while wn have every­ thing. We are in a tine spot fur duck hunting.

We have unfinished furs tor decora­ tions on our walls, floors and beds. I have been salted many times if I would come over here if I had it to do over again. Most certainly! This will be a great help to us all to see how things are done where modern appliances are little known Our trip back will take us through Poland. Germany. France and England. Any additional country we care to visit will be at our own expense. My wife and I expect to do a little sight | seeing before leaving here as well as traveling through some of the other countries. I quite expect to see at least one-half of this group sign up for an­ other year. If they do they will be given a certain percentage of. an in­ crease in salary, based upon present pay and ability. Many names of Americans appear in the Mobcow News whom I have either worked with or come in contact with in Ute States. Everyone has one day off [ each five days; that is. work four days, rest one. But the factories run every day as only 25 per cent arc off at a lime. In other words where 28.000 men are working. 7,000 are off each day. making the machinery and equipment produce continuously. In the early fall there was quite a lot of sickness here. And four men died from typhoid fever. But lhat is all cleared up now and those who are still sick arc improving. .This situation was due to bad w-atcr and change of food. an>j climate. Wc Americans all drink boiled water. Very little beer, wine, or liquors are consumed here by the natives, and practically all tlte Americans have dis­ continued its use since colder weather has set in. It sounds peculiar to say there te a labor shortage here ot present when all other countries are at a stand still. Conditions are bad In Germany and France but much worse in England.

Mr. DeGunthcr lias made use of tiie services of a man who has devices, which he claims and which Mr. DeGunther believes wlU success­ fully locate a structure where oil may be found; but whether there Is actually oil in the structure remains to be proven. Only the drill can determine that fact. Since the Barry Oil and Develop­ ment Company was formed this country has been confronted with a huge surplus of oil and gasoline, due to tremendous oil developments in Texas, Louisiana. Oklahoma. Kansas and New Mexico as well as In California. Big oil companies have discouraged localduction in the proven oil districts. This has had the effect of making It more difficult to get development work done In this county. The stock holders of the Barry Oil and Development Co. think they have been fortunate tn securing Mr. DeG an­ ther to put down a well in Hastings township. There will be much local in­ terest in it. and all hope It will result In the opening of a new oil held in this state. If that should prove to be the case, the people of this county will have reason to be grateful to the Barry Oil and Development Co. If It should prove to be only a dry hole, it will show the good faith of this company in hav­ ing the possible oil resources of Barry county explored. What will be found by the driving of this well to the Dun­ dee sand will not necessarily settle It that there Is no oil In Barry county, but it will tend to decide that matter.

A blow torch in the hands of a mechanic working on a car in front of a garage suddenly exploded and the flames quickly enveloped the man’s clothes. Terrified, and crying out in pain, he ran to the home of a neighbor who endeavored to beat out the flame with her hands. As a result, the Arc was communicated to her clothing and home was damaged and the mechanic was terribly scarred. Incidentally, two automobiles were also destroyed.

American troops in thc Chateau Thierry sector and in the Argonne had brought our victorious soldiers to the very border of Germany, where they could easily cross Into German terri­ tory and conquer that country.

He slew his mother because she refused a loan and then laughed and joked about the matter when appre­ hended for his crime. But would Qruno have been willing to take the gamble had his own life been involved? Prob­ ably not. Buch criminals have respect for one life only—their own. Michigan needs a return to capita) punishment. Life imprisonment is not greatly feared by criminals but the death penalty puts necessary teeth into the law. Law enforcement de;>ends upon an efficient Judiciary with effective penal­ ties at their command. Numerous vio­ lent crimes In certain states where capital punishment Is In force liave been pointed out as an argument against the death penally. As a matter of fact Inefficiency knd even dishonesty within the Judicial* organization Is respon­ sible for this condition and not the presence of capital punishment. A murderer In jail is a potential threat against society. There Is always the possibility of escape and pardon. There are many Instances qn record of pardoned criminals committing a new crime within a week after their release. During the past two years this country has had ample opportunity to see the sad consequences resulting from parcloned criminals attempting to break their way to freedom. Bubnormallty of tiie criminal Is not a sound pica against capital punish­ ment. Society is benefittad by complete eradication of a subnormal strain; al­ so it Is difficult, if not Impossible, to determine just where diabolic clever­ ness ends and subnormalcy begins. Normal society Itself deserves more consideration than subnormal crimi­ nals.

RURAL SCHOOL AID BELIEVES STATE SHOULD ASSIST IN POORER DISTRICTS ADVOCATES DEFINITE MAXIMUM FOR TAX Property In Some Communities Insufficient to Meet Financial Burden . Michigan Slate Orange has put it- rural schools where there is not enough taxable property in the rural school districts to maintain proper schools without being burdensome to the farm­ ers within the district There are many such districts in this state. The Turner bill gave them some help but not nearly as much as is need­ ed. It iwunfalr to districts for the state to require them to maintain school for eight or nine months during the year when to do so means a prohibitive tax upon the property. The state la moral­ ly bound to aid many districts tn main­ taining their schools. There are dis­ tricts In Michigan where the farm land Is poor and where it is hard to make a living under' the moat favorable cir­ cumstances. A six per cent tax to keep up schools means practically confis­ cation of the property of the district for it cannot be paid at the present time. We believe that the state of Wiscon­ sin has a law for the relief of districts where the school tax Is excessively high that ought to be empowered in Mlchlgan. in Wisconsin a definite maximum of school tax is fixed and where, in order to maintain schools as required of this fixed maximum la required, the state makes up what is lacking from a sort of'equalization fund. Thia fund is raised in districts, largely cities, where the state. Districts thus favored are required to pay In a certain per cent into this fund for the benefit of the schools of the state. It has worked out well in Wisconsin and there is no rea­ son why It should not in Michigan. We hope to see the legislature this coming season give attention to the merits of this proposition which ought to be de­ manded. ’ ' -< - • EASTERN STAR CHAPTER. Hastings Chapter No. 7 O. E.

VISITORS BEST IN CONSTRUCTIVE SPEECH High School Trio Is Shade Better in Rebuttal—Teams Are Evenly Matched In a closely contested debate, the team from Grand Rapids South High won a 2 to I Judges' verdict over the Hastings High squad Friday evening in the High school auditorium. The visitors, we believe, gained a clear-cut margin in the constructive speeches while Hastings hod a shade tile better Ln the rebuttal. Miss Dorothy Gray of Grand Rapids was an especially pleasing speaker while Roy Brown gave an excellent re­ buttal. In regard to delivery, the visi­ tors as a team were noticeably better than the Hastings debaters. Although It lost, the Hastings team has improved greatly since the last de­ bate. Glenn Kahler especially. He hesi­ tated less and his points were present­ ed with more conviction. Helen Weaver and Miss Gray gave constructive speeches that were equally good while Robert Newton, in our opinion, gave the best rebuttal of the evening. The contest was as evenly matched as de­ Members of the Hastings High foot- church Sunday evening.

There is no bone that has to be thrown out, no gristle and tpugh end* that are worth­ less; no peeling to pare off; no pita or seeds to throw away. When you buy meats, fruit*, or ifiost kind* of veg-, ctables there are some pits, seeds or peels to be thrown away. YOU PAY FOR THEM. But when you buy High­ land* Dairy Milk there is NO WASTE and you get 16 ounce* of the BEST KIND of food for every 5 cent* you spend. If you want to’ cut down your living expenses, how can you spend your money to better advamtage than buying good, pure, SAFE milk? Espe­ cially so when you consider that the FOOD VALUE of a pound of gbod, pure milk, such as we sell you, is' GREATER than the food value of a pound of almost any other food you can name. But the thing that you will appre­ ciate most about Highlands Dairy­ Milk, i* the fact that IT IS ALWAYS SAFE TO USE in your family. You need not be afraid of any germ* of tuberculosis, typhoid or undulent fever, or streptococci sore throat be* ing found in this milk. EVERY DROP OF IT is scientifically PASTEURIZED, right in accordance with the method outlined by Louis Pasteur, the eminent French scientist. He discovered the way to kill the disease germs in raw milk, and make it SAFE for use, be­ cause many epidemic* of disease have been traced DIRECTLY to the use of raw milk. Then, too, you do not have to guess a* to the QUALITY of Highland’s Dairy Pasteurized Milk. The great layer of yellow cream at the top of each bottle tells the story. It's an “un­ printed label” that you can *e.e with your own eyes, and precludes guess­ work. When it comes to the BEST FOOD, you dannot spend your money and get any better VALUE anywhere, than the rich, pure, Pasteurized High­ land* Dairy Milk that we deliver to your home in Hastings, in sealed bot­ tles, for only 10 cent* a quart. We would like to have you see our clean, well-ventilated dairy haras, and our complete equipment for .the scien­ tific pasteurization of milk. You would enjoy the visit and we are sure that it would well be worth your time. You are certainly interested in getting the BEST food for your family use, and we will be pleased to show you •what we are doing to help you along thia line. Are You Uting Highland* Dairy Milk?

If any of the people living in the rural districts of Thomapple, Castleton or Maple Grove will take the pains to visit the Woodland schools, see what has been accomplished and talk with the people w*hpse children are attending the Woodland schools, we are confident they will appreciate the opportunity ottered by Mr. Kellogg. As stated. Mr. Kellogg has not yet indicated where In this county he would like to have the third school lo­ cated. There are two or three strategic places where such a school could be located; but as yet the place has not been determined. The Banner has given enough Infor­ mation about this proposition so. that people can realize the magnitude and the generosity of the otter made by Mr. Kellogg, and the advantage* which the . proposed consolidated schools would bring. For the good of al) con­ cerned. for the future welfare ot Barry county, we hope there may be tio de­ lay tn meeting the conditions specified by Mr. Kellogg, who Is showing such friendly consideration for the people of this county, especially those who live within the proposed consolidated school districts.

A. Lambie, Phone 3412 Elsewhere in this Issue we speak of the Starr Commonwealth for Boys. It Is. without question, one of. the most useful and helpful philanthropies in this. In the nature of tilings It has to be supported entirely from voluntary sources. Mr. Starr has dedicated his life to the fine service of redeeming boys who have made a wrong start and who, without such help as he gives them, might become a menace to so­ ciety. Under his direction and wise leadership almost without exception they have become good, useful citizens. At the present time there are eighty boys In the Commonwealth. It takes a lot to feed eighty hungry boys. It bar been suggested to us that a fine service might be done for the Starr Commonwealth by those who wish to exprAs their appreciation and approval of Its work by donating canned fruit, canned vegetables and jellies. We’have learned from direct sources that such supplies are needed and that they will be gresUy appreciated by Mr. Starr and lUs boys. Those who have such supplies to donate may leave them at Mrs. M.

CAMPFIRE GIRLS PLAN CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS Money and Gifts Needed to Help Garry Out Useful Distribution Work erous as Possible in Pur­ chase of Tickets The Hastings Community Welfare Organization will raise funds for relief work by putting on a special show at the Strand theater December 17 and loaned the use of the theater for actual expense and tickets will be placed on sale Immediately at fifty cents for adults and twenty-five cents for chil­ dren. I Tickets will be sold by house to house I canvass. In deciding the number of tickets to nurchase.. purchase., the the ontanlxatlon organization tickets requests people to take Into account the fact that these shows will be the only method used to raise funds and. since a substantial sum Is needed for rell’f work, people are asked to spend as much for tickets as they would or­ dinarily give as a cash donation. Ray Branch deserves many thanks for the loan of his theater. It means that he. himself, will be* the largest contributor to the campaign as he has voluntarily offered to turn over the profits from two days of operation to the Welfare organization. Aside from being a source of entertainment, a properly run theater Is of great value to a community as an assistant In pushing through community projects either through the loan of equipment or publicity on the screen. The welfare organization deserves support. It will help to bring a meas­ ure of Christmas cheer to families that, while not destitute, are unable to provide for themselves as usual. We hope that all of thpse who can Each year it- has been the custom of the Campfire Girls of this city to fill Christmas stockings for several homes In this city, which otherwise would not have a very merry Christmas. These Christmas stockings have alwilys con­ tained useful gifts, things which not only children but other members of the family can enjoy. Il Is the desire of the Campfire Girls to repeat this plan of Christmas giving this year. Any one who can spare money to help purchase thfte gifts, which the Campfire Girls will put in the stockings and distribute, will find that ho or she has done a their purchase of tickets. fine, helpful things by furnishing money In the purchase of articles that are needed. In some cases It will provide the Christmas dinner, which might not be very cheerful except for the thoughtful help of these girls.. Any person or organization that can help In this matter should send the money or checks to the Misses Ironside and Michael, who operate the millinery shop over Loppenthlcn's store. They are greatly Interested In the Campfire Girls and their work and will see that the money is carefully used for ’ the purpose mentioned.

As a result thc center of the roads were I invariably gutted unnecessarily during heavy rains or thaws. Also the ma­ ' terial In these shoulders contained sixty Cloth, Automatic Fasteners THE PAIR New Styles In ALL Rubber Footwear for Women at Popular Prices | The shoulders were scraped in such a way that the gravel was actually worked back on to the center of the 'road thus building up a crown that would permit draining. In many places the shoulders were so large that excess I gravel was carted away for resurfacing other roads Fifty miles of road were resurfaced by this shoulder grave). A great Improvement was made on the road that runs north from Yankee Springs four miles towards Middleville. This road had never packed properly and analysis of the material indicated a lack of binder. Consequently Mr. Ra­ kovsky decided to try the effect of re­ surfacing with clay. This was worked into thc gravel and as a result the ma­ u rial has packed down into a firstclass driving surface. Both Jack Rakowsky. the county road engineer, and Dan Shepard, the main­ tenance superintendent, claim that it is the fine co-operation of their men that have made such good roadwork possible this year.

If this effort should be successful, it will mean that In other localities In Michigan wells may be drilled to greater depths. Near Oklahoma City, the biggest oil wells ever discovered were found at a depth of over six thousand feet. In Texas, in a field that had been worked found than at a far Ims depth. We have gone into this matter at some length that our readers may have more information with regard to oil possibilities In Michigan, particularly In this secUon of Michigan.

DEATH OF MRS. GENEVA HAYES. Geneva I. Cooper was bom at Wash-1 ington. Iowa, on February. 27. 1849. and did! In this city on December 2, 1930. aged 81 years. 9 months and 5 days. | She was united in marriage to William 1 ■ D. Hayes on December 28. 1867. at Fort. Collins, Colorado, where the early part of her married life was spent. She later removed with her husband to South Pass City. Wyo. Territory, where her first child. Harry O-. was bom. She | came to Hastings. Michigan, with her husband and infant son In 1872 and resided here continuously until her death. Her husband preceded her in death passing away on November. 17. 1913. in this city, the place of his birth. Five children were bom to her. Harry O. of this dty. Walter B. of Detroit. Bert C. of Ironwood. Mich., and Annie and Willard, who died In infancy. She, leaves to mourn their loss three chlldren. three grand children, one great grandchild and a multitude of Ufe-long friends. . The name of Geneva Hayes will not be easily forgotten by those of the I older and middle generations in this! city where she came so many years ago | as the young wife of the son of one of the earliest pioneer families in Has-1 tings. . 4 ’ She was a wom>ri of many sided talents. Like all woman of her genera- j tion the domestic end of life demanded much. The Hayes' home was a haven for members of her husband's family, for years and with her own three sons bespoke a full house. Her table was' famous and her hospitality proverbial. She gave In varied ways her best service to the Presbyterian church with which she was early Identified. Her pew was seldom empty; she taught Sunday school classes for years; she sang in the choir; she (failed on the strangers: she was active in the mis-1 sionary society. She was found in the sickroom, beside the dying; at the cradle of the new born. All things cultural made strong ap­ peal to her. She iiad a remarkable memory and ability to express herself in beautiful, clear-cut English with an' ease and simplicity that held a room-1 ful or a packed auditorium in rapt at­ tention to the very last word. Never even In old age did she need notes to freshen her memory. Her voice could play on the hearts j of her hearers drawing tears or laugh-' ter with equal ease as she interpreted, Barrie or McLaren or Shakespeare or, the philosophy of “Mr. Dooley."

When the game ended, the score recorded was Hastings High 16. Alumni 14. Specta­ tors, players, referee and scorekeeper alike trooped out of tile gym confident that the school eagers had won. A Anal checkup, however, indicated that the alumni quintet should ha/F been credi­ ted with two more points as the result of a foul committed on O'Connor, sharp-shooting ace of tlie "old timers,’* at the Instant he found the basket for a goal. In the confusion of high-speed play It was not apparent whether the foul was committed before or after the goal­ attempt and when referee Joe Brozak raised three fingers, the score-keeper took It to mean that the foul was com­ mitted by player number three. By the time the error had been found, all the spectators and most of the players had left the floor and those in charge decldftl to play off the tie during an open date In February. Not in many yean has a Hasting* High teain tied the Alumni aggrega­ tion. The "old timers" alternated wflh three complete first teams, and kept their younger opponents on the Jump to solve different styles of play. It was a great workout for Hastings eager* and they were playing a far snappier brand of basket ball In the final quar­ ter than during the flnt half 'when they secured a 10 to 3 margin over the almunl. ■ But the continual Influx of fresh teams with varying styles of play kept the High school quintet on the defen­ sive during most of the final quarter. The high school eagers also missed sev­ eral good opportunities to cinch tire match by free throws and many of their shots missed the ring by breath­ taking margins. O’Connor was the main cog In the alumni offease..He managed to con­ nect for a goal and three free throws out of three tries during the Intervals that he was on the floor. Closely sup­ porting him were- Eldon Chase and Sterling Zerbel. . Capt* Alf Williams ahd Jake Miller were the main battery ot tire High school team while Wilcox played a great game on both offense and de­ fense. Miller connected for six points and was the high scorer of the evening while Wilcox and Williams were good for four pointe each. The Hastings high and Almuni sec­ onds also put up a stirring exhibition, the old timers coming from behind in the second half to stage a 14 to 0 win. At the end of the half, the high school­ ers had forged ahead for a lend ot 7 to -1. During the second half, however, Coach Hawthorne decided to give all of his men a chance on the floor and this undoubtedly helped the alumni to overcome the lead. The second team game gave the coach a line on material that will be needed to fill the gaps at the end of the 'semester. The first team gome especially was closed at whirlwind speed with the high school team showing flashes of what may be expected when it reaches top form. Among the special features of the evening was the faculty cheering sectioq who came out to encourage the old timers and incidentally to give their pupils across the way a demonstrated lesson in "artistic" yelling. But the students'didn’t let anything like that gel by without a protest and as a result the interior of tlie gym sounded like a boiler factory in the full bloom of busi­ ness prosperity.

He lived al the farm home after marriage and then moved to Prairieville where he has resided for 12 year*. During the post year he has owned business places in Hastings and Battle Creek. He was an active lodge worker being a charter member of L. O. O. M. in Hastings and a member of Prairieville I. O. O. P. He w*s united In marriage to Hazel D. Brown June 1. 1908 and to this union four children were bom. to whom he was a devoted father. One boy. Dale F-, passed away at the age of 7 years. The surviving relatives are the widow, a son Earl, two daughters. Eleanor and Esther, his father and mother of Rut­ land. two sisters, Mrs. Fred Barlow of Hastings and Mrs. Harry Foster of lensing, a large number of nieces and nephews and a host of relatives and friends by whom he will be greatly missed.

OBITUARY. . • Miss Arlvilla Lavftia Waldron, daughter of Hiram and Mary Jane Waldron, wa^ bom Oct. 18. 1859 in Rome City, Indiana, and departed this life Nov. 28, 1930. at her ijorng on the State Road, where, she has resided for 48 years. Miss Waldron came when a young girl to Nashville, with her par­ ents. where she lived until she was united in marriage to Hamilton Fisher of Hastings May 1st, 1878. To this un­ ion one daughter, Blanch, came to bless their home. Mrs. Fisher was a kind, loving neighbor and will be greatly missed by relatives, friend* and neigh­ bors.

Mr. Ford estimates that fifteen teach­ ers will be sufficient for the first few years of the school but never-thevlw base* his cost figures on sixteen teach­ ers. allowing 822.000 for salaries. Run­ ning expenses he estimates at 8.T.000 a year and the cost of operating bight busses including charges for deprecia­ tion at 86.400. Thus-the total cost of the school would be In the neighbor­ hood of 835,400 a year. State aid for the school will total to 812.662.30 of Which 84.200 will apply toward the upkeep and operation of tlw eight busses and 88.46230 of which comes from the primary school money of the state. Other sources that can be available later are 81200 of Federal aid from the Smith-Hughes agricul­ tural and home economics training fund and about 81.000 from tuition. Neither of these last two items were considered in figuring the probable lax vote estimate of 81030. not including the levy necessary for retiring the 865,­ 000 bonded debt. Providing the Issue were spread over twenty-five to thirtyfive years, Mr. Ford said, tills portion of the tax need not be higher than 82.50, thus making the total school tax In tlie neighborhood of 813. a rate not substantially higher titan certain dis­ tricts are now paying. But in con­ sidering the proposition. Mr. Ford ad­ vised assuming the rate might run to 814. although ho predicts that the rate will hover around the 813 mark. Mr. Ford stated that he has adopted the policy of quoting generous maxi­ mums that are likely to run above the actual figures in order to allow for all possible errors in calculation. He fur­ ther stated that his calculations were based on an assessed valuation ot about 822.275.000 and if the asserj-ment were lowered in the future, the school tax rate would necessarily be Increased. Citizens of Castleton township met In the Methodist Episcopal church at Nashville Friday evening to hear Mr. Ford. Dr. Slemon* and Dr. Prichard of the Kellogg Foundation, and County School Commissioner Lyman Chamber­ lain to explain the consolidated school proposition and the benefits to be de­ rived from It. Interest In the consolidation project was evidenced by the crowds tliat filled the church to overflowing. Very few left before the meeting was over. Dr. Prichard led a discussion and coun* tercd a charge that W. K. Kellogg’s idea In aiding rural schools was simply o desire for personal exploitation.

They cut and parried and thrust with their canes for a minute or so. much to the amusement of the bystanders. Both got out of breath and had to draw off when Jack said. "Who the deuce are . you?"

McANEENY President, Hudson Motor Car Company We have built these models up to and beyond the 1931 standards of performance and quality in every way, and have never in our history offered so many improvements. Quality is greater down to the last detail Every phase of performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever before. Motors are larger and more powerful. An efficient system of oil cooling is introduced. A marked improvement in carburetion increases flexibility and economy. Bodies are longer and wider. These cars possess the finest, easiest riding qualities. For the first time, such comfort is available at these low prices. Only great manufacturing economies and the fact that our large resources permit us to take the fullest possible advantage of reduced commodity prices have en­ abled us to offer the public the greatest combination of qual■ ity and low prices in our entire history.

A radio would be especial­ ly useful tn case of a bank robbery anywhere in this county or in nearby counties. Il has already proved its value in the recovery of Coach Haw­ thorn's car. It would be helpful in case of escaped prisoners from either of the penitentiaries. While the sheriff would be out on the road ho could be getting particulars from other quarters ns to the directions prisoners were traveling. the persons had left the town where the robbery was committed. All this would be very helpful to the sheriff and his work and would help to break up crime in Michigan. There was at the sheriff's office the qthcr evening one of the state troopers, who had a state police radio In his mo- office here from some distance out of town. The trooper asked to go along with the sheriff and the others who accompanied him. While they were on their way, the police radio reported the theft of a car and gave out other crime news. The radio would be of no value except to an officer. It does not record on any other wave length than that sent out by the stale police and while the sheriff would be out with hl* car he could report anything ho learned directly to the state department. SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT TO BE FINISHED IN 1932 Figures From Other Cities With Such Plants Indicate Cost to Citizens City Engineer Bert Sparks recently attended a meeting held at Lansing of the operators of Michigan sewage dlsposal plants. The discussion and facts brought out at this gathering were of value not only to Mr. Sparks, repre­ renting the city of Hastings, but to every citizen. TitU city has »o far completed the laying of the sanitary sewer pipes and connected them together. It has pur­ chased the land and made all prepara­ tions for lhe construction of the pump house and disposal plant. With the amount of money now in the sewer fund, together with what will be raised in 1931. it is expected that all the build­ ings needed for the plant will be erect•ed next year But the actual installing of the machinery for operating the plant will not be completed until 1933. when the system will be fully installed and In working order, and every dollar of the 570,000 It will have cost will then be paid for without the-Issue of a bond. which t* an achievement that Hasting* The city of Pontiac has a sewage dis­ posal plant that ha* been in operation for some time, so they have actual fig­ ures as to cost of operation. Included in that cost I* an established percen­ tage for depreciation of the plant which, of course, is necessary. It is found that tn Pontiac this cost is 96 cents for each inhabitant of’ the city. Grand Rapids has a larger and far more extensive system, which was out in after the city liad grown to its pres­ ent size, so that the cost wak larger than it would have been if |t had been put in gradually as the city grew. Grand Rapids has found the o;>erating cost per each inhabitant of that city is 3135. These two title* are making a regular charge for each sewer connec­ tion. proportioned to pay as nearly as possible according to lhe amount of sewage handled from each home, or business place,-or factory. Whoever op­ crates our local sewage dtspooal plant will need to have some knowledge of chemistry, because each day he must make and report the chemical analysis of the sewage as it is received at the plant; also a chemical analysis of the liquid that goes from the plant into the river; also a chemical analyst* of the sent Mrs. Rice, accompanied by her daughter.

At the meeting of the Hastings Women * Club on Dec. 5, Mrs. Marian Goodyear gave a very interesting report of her trip to Denver. She described Denver itself with lu park* and boule­ vards a* a place of particular beauty. Denver has a population of 325.000. Il dates 1U growth from 1870 when It was named Denver by a band of settlers from Kansas, In honor of their leader. Denver is the gateway to the Rocky Mountain Parka. In asking what one should sec of interest while In Denver. Mrs. Goodyear was told she must sec Estes Park. Colorado Springs. Pike'* Peak, which she found to be 70 miles and more away, but still Denver claim* them as her parks. She visited Estes Park and Colorado Springs and from there to’Pike's Peak. Tiie car which took them to the Peak was filled to capacity, but Mrs. Good­ year fortunately found a place which was best for sight seeing. She was thrilled with the landscape as she looked out to lhe right and saw Lhe wonderful colorings of sky and trees tatlon as they reached higher alti­ tudes. then turning to the left to ob­ serve what wa* there, her feelings sud­ denly changed as she looked down a mile and a half through space. At the top they all bad their picture* taken. Looking down in one direction was a clear blue expanse which proved to be a large lake, though It looked so small from the distance. On the way down they mot another car and as there te only one track it was necessary to change cars. The car Is pushed up the mountain by an engine. She described her trip to the "Gar­ den of the Gods.” Thl* trip was made by auto. Two stone pillar* mark the entrance with a gateway between. Here site visited the Cave of the Wind*, saw the mountain of lhe Holy Cross, Tem­ ple of Silence and other notable sight*. ■She spoke of another side trip to Cheyenne Canyon, where lhe Seven Falls arc located, also the Helen Hunt Fall*. These are both very beautiful. At the foot of Pike's Peak lies the town of Manitou, so named from the Indian language—Manitou, the god of healing. It Is a health resort. Royal Gorge, which 1* a mile high and a mile wide, was the scene of one of the greatest engineering feats in the world when the bridge which crosses the gorge vu built. Colorado Springs receives It* water supply from two reservoir* up in the mountains. Thte was al*o considered quite an accomplishment to tunnel through from one lake to the other and then pipe the water to the city four­ teen miles away. This has made Colo­ rado Spring* famous as a health resort. Mrs. Goodyear showed several pic­ tures of the scenery through the use of the mlrroscope. She felt that Theodore Roosevelt wa* justified when he made the statement that to try to describe lhe scenery around Denver and Colo­ rado Spring* would bankrupt the Eng­ lish language. .

Teach children ths danger of playing with CLUB WE PRESENT SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS Which Should Be Helpful In Homes and Schools At Holiday Timo We wish that everyone In Barry county could have listened to the very practical talk of Mr. Davies before the Hastings Commercial Club. Mr. Davies has been connected with the Safety Council of Grand Rapids for several years, one of his duties being to edu­ cate and warn people against the destruction of life and property by fire. fire in this country was estimated at one billion dollars, a sum so stagger­ ing that we can hardly conceive of it. Just to give an Illustration of what one billion dollars will do, he said that It would build a cement pavement 20 feet wide all tho way from Mackinaw City to the Indiana line, a distance of about 390 miles. It would build a nice cement highway. More than that, If all the property on either side of that highway was plotted Into lota of 00fool frontage, it would build a tlfitn 60-foot lots, give (3,500 worth of furni­ ture for each home and place a (2,000 car In each garage, give (1,000 each to each family—and then there would be a good fortune left to dispose of. Think of all this as representing the fire loss for one year—it would bankrupt any other nation if continued a few years. When Mr. Davies went on the Safety Council of Grand Rapids in 1933, the fire loss for that city that year averannual fire loss is only 33 cento per capita. But by sending out literature on fire loss prevention and warning people how to avoid fires, the annual fire looses In Grand Rapids were re­ duced as follows: In 1924 to (0.29 per capita. In 1920 to (1.89 per capita. In 1927 to (1.72 per capita. In 1928 to (2.04 per capita. In 1929 to (1-07 per capita. In 1930 to 90c per capita to date. In 1927 Grand Rapids was awarded a national prire for the greatest reduc­ tion in looses by fire. Not only that, but fire Insurance premiums have been reduced 27 per cent, effecting a great saving to people In Insurance premiums. by the careless use of gasoline and bopzlne around the homes. Lost year 140 women lost their lives by this careless use. In speaking of the explosive power of benzine or gasoline, the speaker said that a gallon of cither one of them, evaporated In air of nor­ mal temperature, would have the ex­ plosive power of 80 pounds of dyna­ mite. Such a talk on fire prevention could not come at a better or more appro­ priate time than Just before Christ­ mas time, when many lives are lost, and much property destroyed, due to the use of Inflammable materials on Christmas trees and for decoration at the holiday season. Many will remem­ ber the terrible calamity that befell a little Oklahoma school a few years ago at Christinas time, when the lighted candles on a Christmas tree Mt fire to the inflammable decorations and 37 of 3—Dent permit rubbish to accumulate In basement, attic, or eUewhcre.

All the players were finding the basket with greater ease but the foul shooting was still ragged, only one score out of a possible five being made. Nick Beam was referee and kept the play going plenty fast. Woodland completely outclassed the Hasting* reserves to get a well-deserved 21 to 8 win. The visitors displayed supperior team work and made far better use of their scoring chances. They usual • ly got the tip-off and kept the reserves running for cover.

Moreover, according to Professor ' Herman J. Gallagher. In charge of the college farm electrification campaign. । whereas four years ago most of the ' 6.800 farmers receiving electric servI ice were using it only for lighting ■ purposes, today the new form electric customers are using the power In I practical farm operations, to pump ! water, grind grain, fill silos, milk cows, ; cool milk, increase egg production, op-­ crate poultry Incubators and brooders, | force vegetables in hotbeds, and do a ; wide variety of like jobs in addition to employing It for such household func1 tions as cooking, refrigerating, cleanI ing. washing, and ironing.

I "Everywhere, also, we found farm lines I under construction.

Is the change in the attitude of Michigan farmers toward the pos­ sible practical uses of electric power in farm work. "When, the college campaign began aaot hours of energy a month. That was hardly a good lighting load, but it re­ flected the average farmer's idea of the economical use of electricity. Esctglc power was ingly used.

The pens may be built of various sorts of material but it is recommend­ ed that the fencing be at least six feet high and that the pen be ap­ proximately 30 by 60 feet tn size. An oblong pen la built to give the bull the greatest possible space for exercise with the least amount of fencing. The use of such pens permits the owners of a good herd sire to retain the animals when they would be dangerous if it was necessary to enter an in­ closure with the bull. The safety pen makes it unnecessary to ever be on the same side of the fence as the bull. Blue prints which give speciflcatlons for the pen may be obtained by writing to either of the college departments at East lousing. Mr. and Mrs. Tad Mead ot Hastings called at the home of his brother.

According to lhe New York Times, the recently reorganized Tariff Com­ mission faces a gigantic task In adjust­ ing rates and has a future certain to be filled with trials and tribulations, tn the case of many complaints against present duties, long periods of investi­ gation arc necessary before the Com­ mission can change rates to conform with sound economic practices. Tiie Importance ot the tariff to do­ mestic prosperity and progress Is incalcuable. If rates are too high, our foreign trade suffers and we must pay too much for commodities. If too low. our industries and workers are forced to meet cheap-labor foreign competi­ tion at the expense of wage and living standards. The only good tariff is one which equalizes, by the levying of du­ ties. discrepancies In producing costs at home and abroad. B will be the duty of the Commission to attain this ideal.

I have said that Richelieu was easenttally a commander. Weir, the two men having this one capital national quality Id common, though very differently exer­ cised tn each, were linked by it They were both, at heart, soldiers. Louis XIII would never have made s good general officer; Richelieu would Dot only have made one of the beat general officers tn history, but did In ' practice act as a general officer of tbe highest talent; and If be bad been called emperor Instead of cardinal the whole world would see It. I-ouls XIII could never have swept over a mass of detail with his eye. choosing the ezset Instant iu which to plant the blow, to fall on the de­ fensive, or to retire, organize, and triumph through organization. He could not ever have bandied great numbers of men. Richelieu had nil those qualities. But both men differing so vastly In the degree of their military talent, were military to the core, and therein is found lhe true point of contact be­ tween them.—From "Richelieu," by Hilaire Belloc The earliest form of a public pre­ serve devoted to outdoor recreation In the territory of the present United States was a city park, Boston com-mon, acquired In 1034.

The touch sense is tested by determining how close together two points like pin points may be and still be dis llngulshed ns two separate petals In stead of one.

Quality is greater down to the last detail Every phase of performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever before. Motors are larger and more powerful. An efficient system of oil cooling is introduced. A marked improvement in carburetion increases flexibility and economy. Bodies are longer and wider. These cars possess the finest, easiest riding qualities. For the first time, such comfort is available at these low prices.

Insufficient Trade During These Three Months Is Reason for Step IUsFifty business men tings have signed a petition agreeing to close their stores each Wednesday evening during the months of January. February and March, 1831. Lack of sufficient business on these evenings is given as the reason. Several merchants have stated that the business tran­ sacted on Wednesday evenings during these three months is scarcely sufficient to pay for the electric light bills. Although but fifty merchants have signed the petition at least twelve others have agreed to close should the majority decide to do so. Since fifty Is a required majority .it is prob­ able that nearly every place of busi­ ness "here will follow suit. This action Is sponsored by the merchants them­ selves and does not represent formal acUon on the part of the commercial or dinner cluba. Drug stores, garages and service sta­ tions which are ordinarily open every night In the year anyway are not In­ cluded In the petition. The dentists have agreed to close and the doctors will decide Individually what to do ac­ cording to the requirements of their practices. Barber shops will remain The petition will become effective Wednesday. January 7. 1831, and will continue until the last Wednesday In March. Beginning In April and con­ tinuing through December, 1931. it is possible that the stores will again open each Wednesday night as usual.

Long before Maurice Chevalier cap­ tivated American audiences he was the “Idol of France." and in “Playboy of Paris." which comes here Friday, he Is play, and knows how to play it with all the zest that was written into it. The story Itself. "Playboy of Paris." is to the French what "Charley's Aunt," is to the Americans, a perennial farce ’ comedy hit. Tlie screen play was adapted from the origin*! drama. "Tlie Little Cafe." by Tristan Bernard. In "Playboy of Paris,” Chevalier Is a waiter by day and a heavy-spending man-about-town by night. It all hap­ pens like this: ' Dreamy, blundering Maurice has won the affection of the proprietor's daugh- father has more ambitious plans for his attractive daughter—a wealthy Parisian, for example. However, the cafe-owner gets advance information that Chevalier Is lo get a large legacy and he conspires to place Maurice un­ der a 20-year contract as a waiter, con­ fident that the new millionaire will willingly pay the forfeit to break the contract. Not sol Chevalier electa to remain a waiter by day and to devote his nights to “painting Paris red." As a waiter he drops dishes, insults patrons to force tils manager to discharge him. As a man-about-town he stri res to keep his humble Occupation a secret— and then the plot develops to a whirl­ wind climax. "Playboy of Paris” is primarily a comedy romance, just as "The Big Pond." The singing in It Is an Inci­ dental but Important part. The world hums when Chevalier sings. To Our Friends and Customers ...

Furthermore It means that al) of the pupils will have health attention and education It Is impossible to estimate the value of this factor in dollars and cents. More than likely, however, this Item alone will provc as valuable as the improved educational facilities.

BRIMMER never forgot anybody or anything at Christ­ mas.

Everything was In place lhe day before Christmas when the children arrived home for the holidays, and Mary Ellen, the oldest daughter, had Just finished her tour of tns[>ecllon of Christmas presents lo the house, when she stopped In front of Dicky's new cage and whistled to Mart him singing. But there was no answer from the cage. “Well, mother, you don't seem to have forgotten a single thing or a single room," Mary Ellen said. "Rut what has happened to Dicky? Is he dated by the splendor of his, new pal­ ace, or la he too old to sing?" "I can't make It out." replied Mrs. Brimmer. "He sang all right In the old cage, but he hasn't peeped a note since I put him In this one three days ago. He must be homesick. If he doesn't sing by tomorrow I'll put him back In the old cage, so that he may have a Merry Christmas, too." Christmas morning the Brimmers found Installed tn their living room a new radio, and they began the day happily by listening In on that delight­ ful half hour from eight-thirty to nine o’clock which brings dally cheer to so many American homes. The sing­ ing of a bird came over the radio as a background of the program, and al­ most with the first bird notes from the radio, Dicky started hopping arouad In his new green palace, and IlnaHv broke Into a full-throated Christmas carol which was a Joy to every one.

Men. weather-brown and sturdy, were milling gold from the dump of a mine which years ago had taken out millions In highgrade ore, leaving other thousands In the dump because modern methods were unknown. Tractor, plow and scraper were turn­ ing this discarded wealth into the mill to run over mercury plates and Into cyanide tanks to salvage gold. Norman's father was one of these men. Normap had tired watching men. mill and tractor. Remembering Il wn Christmas, he considered what a real live boy should do on Christ­ mas day. Au Ideal Finding a long, smooth board and a short slender one for steering, he climbed to the top of the dump and began coasting down as If It were no more valuable than a sand hill covered with snow. Ageln and again he climbed to the top and coasted down, bls cheeks glowing with exercise and rarefied desert air. Along came Mr. Sterling, president of the mine. Just In time to see a pretty spill from the improvised toboggan Which sent Norman the rest of the way tobogganlesa He came.up grinning, but Mr. Sterling saw a bad­ ly damaged pair of coveralla. “Wall, sonny." he said. Tv* cooted down mnny a hill, but never a bill of gold. But today la Christmas, Isn't It? Let's go over to the chemist's shack and see If wo can find something to use tor coveralla." He found a pair of overalls that Norman could wear by rolling them up. Mr. Sterling took Norman'a torn garment and dropped it Into a can of cyanide. Later in the day Norman stood In wide-eyed won­ der while Mr. Sterling took the residue from the can, strained It through a chamois and presented Norman with a ' button" of gold which be bad gath­ ered up In hit coveralla in the process of his coasting.

SO THIS IS EDENI A Breath-Taking Spectacular Selling Of Own Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Michigan's lower peninsula region is pictured as the one-time site of the Garden of Eden in a theory propound­ ed by Arthur Sanborn of this town.

Sanborn replies that In those days the climate thereabouts was markedly milder than -at present. Sanborn bases his hypothesis for the moat part on a new and ingenious in­ terpretation of the book of Genesis. WINTER COATS S DRESSES Coats and Dresses The verse.

Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago and a disgrace to that dty and to the whole country, lias shied hit hat into the ring and has an­ nounced that hc will be a candidate for another term. Judge John H. Lyle, who has been making things hot for the crooks of Chicago, has al*o publicly announced that he will be a candidate tor mayor Il seems to be quite apparent that there Is more than a friendly feeling on the I part of the crooks for the Thompson administration.

Waters &. So The Better Store for Men ■ �Why We Favor Consolidating Castleton Township Into One School System HERE has been much said pro ancf con on the school issue now confronting the people of Castle­ ton Township. Many false statements have been made and many preposterous rumors circulated by people whom we believe do not understand the issue. It is to these people and to all others interested in the PROS­ PERITY and FUTURE WELFARE of our community that we submit in brief the pertinent facts of the propo­ sition which is to be decided by the voters on January 2, 1931. We think that every citizen should know all the facts and then judge for themselves how to vote. On November 28th, 1930, at the request of the coun­ ty school commissioner, Mr. Chamberlain, working in connection with the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Michigan, a meeting of the school direc­ tors of Castleton Township was held at the Masonic Temple. At this meeting Dr. Selmon, representing the "W. K. Kellogg Foundation, offered to give this town­ ship one-third of the cost of a new and equipped school building, provided that the districts would unite and form a township school district so that ALL the chil­ dren of .the township would enjoy its advantages equally. In addition to paying one-third of the orig­ inal cost of a new school building and equipment, the Kellogg Foundation offered to install a child health service in the school and bear all the costs in connecwith it. This $35,000.00 which is to be given us by the Kellogg Foundation is donated with the idea of help­ ing boys and girls to receive a better education, better health and a better chance in life. There are no strings of any kind attached to this gift. Thia^new proposed school, if built, is to teach our boys and girls in addition to the regular academic course, subjects such as agriculture, domestic science, manual training, cooking, sewing, canning, etc. This would Weep many of them in school the full twelve grades, whereas many leave now in the lower grades and are handicapped throughout life. A little over a month ago. President Hoover met with more than 3000 educators, health experts and others at a conference in Washington, D. C., and charged them with the duty of providing the means to give the rural boys and girls the same health and edu­ cational advantages as those now enjoyed by the city­ children. More recently the National Grange, at a meeting in New York state, at which were delegates from every- state in the Union, passed resolutions to assist in providing these opportunities. It is in line with these suggestBhs that the Kellogg Foundation de­ cided to help Some of the townships in the .state de­ velop school which would do these things. At the present time Thomapple Township, Castleton Town­ ship and a township in the Upper Peninsula of Michi­ gan happen to be the lucky three which have-been selected to receive this gift if they wish to do so. The W. K. Kellogg Foundation is incorporated for $1,000,­ 000.00 under the laws of Michigan. It has been en­ dowed By, but is independent of Mr. W. K. Kellogg. The funds in its possession are administered by a board of 7 men. It is not dependent upon Mr. W. K. Kellogg in either its present offer to us nor in any future health program. The Foundation is working with our State Department of Public Instruction to endeavor to carry out the program of rural education along the lines sug­ gested by President Hoover. This ia briefly the proposition now confronting us. Will we stand by our community? Will we show a pro­ gressive spirit and accept this gift and have a modern school for our children or will we turn down this won­ derful opportunity which will NEVER come to ua again. Think about thia seriously, Mr. or Mra. Voter, before you cast your vote. The question is how much is it going to cost us to accept this gift and put our school on a par with others in our locality. . Mr. B. J. Ford of the Department of Public Instruc­ tion and who is an authority on consolidated schools, estimates that it will cost $100,000.00 to finance this proposed school. The Kellogg Foundation will pay one-third of this, leaving the balance for the township to pay. This money to be raised by issuing bonds. This is a perfectly legitimate way. for raising funds and is the way the government does when in need of money. Now’is a good time to issue bonds as money rates are low. The bonds will be sold to the highest bidder, and we are advised that such bonds are now being sold on a 4% per cent to 4*4 per cent basis. As to maintenance, the following estimate of receipts and expenditures is probably as near as can be de­ termined, based on expenses of other schools of this kind: RECEIPTS 8,462.30 Primary school money (present amount)$ State aid to apply toward the upkeep and operation of the eight buses ($400 per bus per year and $1,000 per year for main­ 4,200.00 tenance) ----------------------------------------------Federal aid from the Smith-Hughes Agri­ cultural and Home Economics Training Fund_______________________ ____----1,200.00 Tuition (estimated) 2,000.00 By taxation---------------- ----------- ---------------------- ' 19,537.70 $35,400.00 Total EXPENDITURES. Teachers* salaries (estimate based on 16 teachers although 15 will be sufficient for the first few years)_$22,000.00 Transportation ______________ Other expenses such as coal, light supplies, etc. ________________________________ 6,400.00 7,000.00 $35,400.00 Total Dividing $19,537.70, which ia to be raised by taxa­ tion, by $2,189,450.00, the valuation of the school dis­ tricts involved, gives a tax rate of $8.94. Add to thia the sunount necessary to retire the $65,000 of bonds in thirty years, which ia $2.50, would make a total tax although Mr. B. J. Ford* has estimated the maximum rate to be $13.00. The average cost of maintaining the various township schools in 1929 was $8.30. The valu­ ation of District No. 1 frl. (Nashville) is $920,550.00 and said district would therefore be assuming respon­ sibility for nearly one-half the entire expense. In addi­ tion to thia, District No. 1 frL (Nashville) is turning over to the township, property worth approximately $75,000.00. changes will have to be made in ventilation, sanitation, equipment, etc., and it will be a mighty expensive pro­ position for them to try to handle it alone. No rural pupil of Castleton Township or any School District involved in this proposition will be required to pay tuition to attend thia new school. A large saving will be made by parents having chil­ dren which they send away to high school, by not hav­ ing to pay their transportation, which is estimated at $100 per year, including the cost of gasoline and de­ preciation of the automobile, or a total of $400.00 for four years. You will be saved this expense. Then, too, the buses will be heated and warm and the boys and girls will always be home when school is out As one patron in Woodland Township said, it was Worth a lot to him to know that his daughter was always home at a certain time. If this proposition is accepted, a single school board will be elected from the township at large, who will in turn take over all school properties and administer the schools, until such time as this new school will be ready for use. The enormous expansion of the use of automobiles in the past decade, the placing of all America on wheels, together with the extension of electric power to the rural districts, have relieved the isolation of farm life. The farmer is now part of a community. Hither­ to the size of a rural school has been limited to the number of children within walking distance. The re­ sult was the “Little red school house,** picturesque but inefficient The one room, lack of a library and other modem equipment, were not conducive to efficient edu­ cation. Today, the fact that the phildren may be con­ veyed in the motor coach from many miles around tobringing about consolidation of rural schools. In the years 1920 to 1926 the number of one-teacher schools decreased at the rate of 4600 a year, while consoli­ dated schools increased on a average of 1000 a year. This is a movement of surpassing importance, which cannot fail to affect deeply American social and politi­ cal life. After all, this is not just a question of dollars and cents. A moral issue is involved. A spiritual issue, if you please. Even though our burdens may be in­ creased a little we owe it to our children, who in a few short years will take our places, to give them the best preparation that we can, to make their lives richer than our own. Absent voters cannot vote. Residents of Maple Grove Township living in School District No. 1 frl. can vote. Residents of Hastings Township living in School District No. 2 frl. can vote. Residents of No. 11 frl. School District, Carlton and Castleton Townships, can­ not vote. Soldiers and soldiers’ widows can vote. Man and wife holding joint deed or contract can vote. Par- umerated in the laat census can vote. People who are on the tax roll but exempt from taxation can NOTvote. All voters to qualify must have reaided in the township for 90 daya preceding the election. Registration for thia election ia not required. A voter swearing to his vole is responsible for his action. It has been said that District No. 1 frl. is not doing its share, which you will realize is not true when you study the figures which we have given. The polls will be open from 7:00 a. m, to 6:00 p. m., Eastern Standard time, January 2, 1931. Very true it will equalize the tax and some districts will pay a slightly higher tax, but will it not be well worth it? We believe the people from Nashville and Castleton Township and other fractional school districts involved should unite and accept thia opportunity which ia knocking at our door to make ours a better community in which to live and one which will be outstanding in the state in matters of education! It is only a question of a short time when the state is going to say to some of these districts that certain SIGNED L. E. LENTZ W. G. HYDE MRS. FRED WOTRING ED. PALMER MRS.

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.
