Personally I don't other kind of a tax unless It definitely and speclficlally reduces or supplants the general state property tax. An Income tax Is too easily evaded by the very people who are now evading the federal Income and other taxes. I feel that there must be a general and drastic revision of our tax system; whereby the farmer and home owner can be relieved from lhe present tre­ mendous burden. I am studying the retail sales tax proposition and It lias some very at­ tractive features. Under its provisions, as under a new sales tax law In Ken­ tucky. the farmer, for instance, would pay a retail sales tax only on suc»produce as he actually sells at retail, and this tax h< would, of course, pass on to his customer. Every man would pay- taxes ac ing to what he buys be paid In slight amounts throughout the year and would thereby lessen the amount of his December tax. doing away entirely with the state taxes at the December collection Indeed.

In a recent Interview Mr. Sloan pre­ dicted that we would emerge from the present business depression and that. In the near future, there would be a return of prosperity greater than any which this country has ever heretofore enjoyed. He declared that one cause of the depression—and fhe suffering of many people today—13 due to the fact that many families had spent all their earned Income from 1919 to 1929, above the actual cost of living. In making purchases on the installment plan, so that they had nothing laid up for the future, and had even mort­ gaged their unearned Income far ahead.

Up to a few years ago thous­ ands upon thousands of people had died most agonizing deaths after be­ ing bitten by mad dogs. In fact, in years past, a bite from a mad dog was just about equivalent to a death war* rant. There was supposed to be no cure from the bite of a mad dog. A few years ago Louis Pasteur, the great French scientist, reasoned that there must be a "cause" for every “effect." He went to work on the theory that “rabies," or infection from a mad-dog bite, was due to a little germ so small that only the most powerful micro­ the "germ theory" is correct. This same Louis Pasteur proved that raw milk is a "carrier" of disease germs. Recognizing that milk is the most perfect food for human use, he sought to discover some way to make it absolutely SAFE to use. He found the way to do it too—just as he did to make the bite of a mad dog harmless. He found that germs multiply rapidly in warm milk. He found that cooling mtlk quickly, right after it is drawn, prevents germs from multiplying. He further found that heating milk to about 148 degrees, and holding it there for a half hour, KILL3 ALL DANGEROUS GERMS. In h% honor this process is called "Pasteurization." E HAVE all the equipment to do this work scientifically. Every DROP of milk you buy from us is SAFE, because it is scientifically Pasteurized, and you find no settlings o^diyt- in tj»e bottom of the bottles. Wo charge you no more for our safe Pasteurized Milk than what Raw Milk of the same quality would cost you. 4sn’t this element of "SAFETY" to you and your family worth something?

This commission has given its re­ port. It has made many recommenda­ tions The most important is that tlie legislature adopt a graduated Income tax. for the purpose of relieving tax­ ation on real estate and for the sup­ port of public schools The federal Income tax in Michigan for the year 1929 brought to the na­ tional government over 8140.000.000 fpotn this state. Exemptions far both single persons and married people were so large that this tax could not be said to be burdensome. So it can be seen that a considerable money can be raised by an Income tax, which would take' care of all thc state tax. around 830.<»O.OOQ yearly and. with Che pri­ mary school money, take care of a large share of lhe school tax. In many school districts It would pay all of tha expense for school maintenance. We hope the legislature may make a trial of this proposal. We believe the limit could be safely lowered for mar­ ried men to Incomes of 82,000, with additional exemptions for each minor child in the family. For single people, exemptions could start at 81,200. As far as possible everybody should con­ tribute who has an Income above these figures. There Is no reason why oil who have such Incomes as we have men­ tioned should not contribute some­ thing. The percentage could be made small on the lower incomes and be in- We believe the legislature will not look with favor upon an Income tax unless it correspondingly reduces the burden on real estate. The corporation Ux. for instance, was put upon corpor­ ations in this state with the avowed purpose of relieving Uxatlon on real estate. But it did nothing of the kind. It simply furnished that much more money for legislatures to vote away. the support of the state and its In­ stitutions has remained the same as It CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUB Here Are Some of the Most Popular Plans: It Solves the Problem of Money for the Holidays!

It harnesses momentum and puts it to work—allows the engine to "rest" two miles out of every ten—insures an < actual saving of 12% to 20% in gasoline and oil. You drive as in a conventional car. Yet you need not use the clutch at all in making your most impor­ tant shifts—from second to high or from high back to second. You make these shifts easily, silently, at any . speed. The full braking power of the engine is in­ stantly available. Take nobody's word for Free Wheeling. See this new Studebaker Six—drive it. It is backed by Stude­ baker's 79 years of manufacturing success and integrity. Goodyear Bros. Hardware Co. HASTINGS, MICHIGAN Everything yon want or need in a motor car THE more yon see of the new Ford, the more yon realize that it brings you everything you want or need in a motor car. • • • And at an unusually low price. Its substantial beauty of line and color is ap> parent at a glance. Long, continuous service em­ phasizes the value of its simplicity of design and the high quality that lias been built into every part. The new Ford accelerates quickly and it will do 55 to 65 miles an hour. It is an easy-riding car because of its specially designed springs and four Houdaillc double-acting hydraulic shock absorb­ ers. It has fully enclosed four-wheel brakes and the added safety of a Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield. Operation and np-kcep costs are low and it has the stamina and reliability that mean thousands of miles of uninterrupted service. See the nearest dealer and have him give you a demonstration ride in the new Ford. Check up every point that goes to make a good automobile and you will know it is a value far above the price. •435 to •660 CRE8SEY.

With the money received from the state and with what money the road commission saved from last year, the commission expect to do the mainte­ nance work In this county and hope to add about ten miles of black-top pavement, either Tarmac or some other type, whichever one will seem the most promising. Four types of this kind of surface were laid last year near Hickory Comers.

Supt. Barnum said, is tliat every boy and girt in the township Is given the advantages of a city school and yet spend their outside hours at home. This Is tone feature of the town­ ship school that Is usually not given the consideration it Is entitled to. he added Pupils are under supervision from the time they leave In the morn­ ing until they are retumed.home in the evening. Boys and girls no longer have to leave the influence of their homes prematurely In order to com­ plete their high school education as was formerly the case. Organized groups at the school in­ clude four Hl-Y clubs, two Girls’ Re­ serve units, and a Home Economics club, the superintendent said. The latter club has already put on a bake sale this year, Mr. Barnum said, and occasionally sponsors special dinners and handicraft displays as well. Dad Angell directs the activities of the HlSpecial assembly programs are put on each month by the various classes, tiie superintendent said. These Include plays, skits, and musical and vocal numbers. Mr. Forrest H. Roe of Western State Normal, athletic director of the Wood­ land school, has built up an enthusias­ tic Interest in sports among pupils and township residents alike, Supt Barnum said.

In addi­ tion to the class rooms thy re Is a chem­ ical and physical laboratory, a man­ ual training shop, a cooking labora­ tory. U sewing room, a library, and an agricultural laboratory. The superin­ tendent stated that all pupils are re­ quired to take a year of agriculture regardless of the occupations they in­ tend to follow. He believes that even a book knowledge of farming will help to give students an idea of the various problems with which the farmers art faced.

PRESCRIPTION DRUQ STORE tori urn will be available for al! worthy entertainments, no matter by whom presented, at the minimum cost at any time when the auditorium is not being used for the school Itself. It Is to serve this community and the surrounding territory. We are sure that the uni­ versal verdiqt will be that It does exactly that. • After the experience that the people of this city and county have had with entertainments given by the Hastings Rotarians In the past, we are confi­ dent there Is not a lingering doubt tn anybody's mind that the entertain­ ment to be given on the two evenings mentioned will be in every way worth while and worthy. The Rotarians have always put on ~ clean and enjoyable minstrel shows. It is the judgment of these who have heard the rehearsals so far that the entertainments this time will be better and more pleasing than either of the two previously given. The Rotarian entertainments have been given with the sole Idea of service to some worthy cause, which the people ot the city and county would delight to help. Nothing touches people marc closely than such a worthy hospital as the one we have in this city. More patients have come to Pen­ nock hospital from outside Hastings than from the city Itself. No one knows when he or she may have to have hospital carp and treatment. Pennock hospital has no endowment fund, so It cannot afford much charity work. Funds, therefore, must be provided from other sources for that purpose It was this consideration that led the Rotarians. Ip these times of depression, to give all the net proceeds ol the two entertainments to lite Pennock Hos­ pital charity fund to aid those who need hospital treatment, but cannot afford it. If there shall be anywhere near the attendance there has been In the past at these entertainments, there will be no doubt that a substantia) sum. probably around 11.000. can be given over to that fund to aid a most worthy cause. We know that thc peo­ ple of this city and county will be glad to help, so far as they are able, in such a fine enterprise. One thing thc people will not for­ get is that they will get more than their money's worth from the enter­ tainment Itself. It will be fine, clean, with lota of laughs and real enjoy­ ment. Because of the use that will be made of tiie net proceeds, the school board donated the use of the new audi­ torium for these two entertainments The expense will be simply for neces­ sary printing, advertising and cos­ tumes. so that tills time, as in the past, almost all of the proceeds will be given to the charity fund. The committee having in charge the bsN of tickets will do os has been done In the past, send, out numbered letters and tickets to the people of this City and county, with the request that they keep the tickets and send the money, or if they do not wish the tick­ ets tq return them In the enclosed envelopes. This meUiod Is followed be­ cause It entails the least expense, as past experience has shown, and gives the best results. Write it down, so that you will not forget, that on Tuesday evening.

State Street 'Change; Random Observations Just Consider These Two Statements, Which Are Based Upon Undisputable FACTS: ” There has NEVER been an epidemic of disease traced to Pasteurized Milk. Many outbreaks of streptococci sore throat, typhoid and undulant fever, tuberculosis, and other fatal diseases have been traced DIRECTLY to the source of raw milk supply. 2nd° Which Kind Should YOU Provide lor YOUR Family ? It has been definitely proven that Raw Milk is a carrier of disease germs. In­ vestigation along this line has only started. It is by no jneans impossible that a great many of the serious epidemics that have visited localities in the past, have had their sources in the use of raw milk. Michigan had several typhoid fever . epidemics last year traced DIRECTLY to the use of Raw Milk— at Midland, Northville, Brown City. Thousands of other cases developed in various other ftates. This only goes to show that disease will develop IF TIIE GERMS ABE IN THE Al ILK. When You Use Raw Milk In Your Home Yo'u Are Simply Betting That There Are No Germs In It! Is it wise to take that RISK when it isn't necessary? for you to decide. That is thc question Every drop of lhe milk that you buy from us is scientifically pasteurized, with^an extensive equipment of the very latest and most approved model. We deliver it to your door Jn carefully sealed bottles for 10 cents a quart. You would have to pay that much for raw milk regardless of QUALITY. We give you the "SAFETY” feature free of charge, and you will notice too that there are never any black, dirty settlings on the bottom of our milk bottles. Our complete system of Pasteurization assures you good, CLEAN, SAFE* MILK. We will be glad to talk with you about It. A phone will bring it. The Highland* Hairy ROBERT W. (COOK, Propr.

I ' AMUSEMENTS Among the feature films scheduled I f dr the near future are "The Gorilla," , ' - Escape.’’ and "Billy Lhe Kid." A seasoned campaigner is the "OorIlla," a parody on mystery thrillers with Ils two nlt-wlt detectives con-' tlnually muddling an already com pHcated plot. Tiie pliy pleased theater- i goers from stage and silent screen and , now Is being reproduced in vltaphone for the pit time. Needless to say, lhel sound feature will enable the vita-1 phone to rival the slige production. j Bryan Poy who directed ’1710 Gor- I Illa" is the son of the famous Eddie > Foy. ♦­ "Escape." is the first Galsworthy play ever to be brought to the films Until recently the noted English au­ thor had tajeen but little interest in motion pictures. The opening of a new GahtWorthy play on the legitimate stage has always been hailed as an event both In London and New York. •Escape" was hailed in both places as a most significant piece of work. Basil Dean, London stage producer, had charge of transferring "Escape" to the screen. He has used a cast of notable stage and screen players, most! of whom have appeared In Galsworthy I production in the theater. "Billy the Kid" brings back the old | frontier days of the West. In this pro­ duction the directors had built a faith-1 ful duplicate of the town of Lincoln, New Mexico, seat of the "Lincoln I County War." in which Billy the Kid was an active participant. The repro­ duction Is based on old photographs I and sketches, particular attention was., paid to the builUlng ot the adobe MeSween home, where Billy and his so-1 borts were beselged for three days. j A Good, Clean Proposition The Raisin Brook Packing Company of Dundee, Michigan, has bought and are putting into operation, packing plants in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, Springfield, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois, in addition to their big plant at Dundee, Michigan.

Student training, Dr. Ruthven says, Includes the work of selection as well as Instruction. It is Inevitable, he ex­ plained, that certain students who come to the university enter a field of work for which they are unfitted, or perhaps have not the endowments to continue with higher education. The university is doing all in Its power to assist such students to find their prop­ er niche in life, the president said Often, he added, the university Is un­ justly blamed for such failures. But lhe university cannot remould mater­ ial. he said. All It can hope to do Is add polish to the natural product.

University training can thus attempt to develop the mind along Its natural bent but cannot hope to alter the fundamental character of It. The capacity of students for absorbing education is fixed long before they come to the university. Dr. Ruthven said. * The university is the chief tource for training professional men and spec­ ialists. the president said. One of the great responsibilities of such an in­ stitution is to send out men who can serve their communities effectively in such capacities as doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Also the .universities fur­ nish the bulk of research workers In all branches of the arts and sciences he added. The value of research work Is Incalculable, President Ruthven be­ lieves. Certain It is. he said, that in any civilized society It is necessary to try continually to extend the bounds of human knowledge. Modern indus­ tries have found a definite use for re­ search men.

This due to unemployment, the busi­ ness depression, also the drouth cut short lhe income of many farmers. The fund is used for the benefit of patients from Barry county, no matter from what locality they may come. Every penny of net proceeds will be dftoted to the Pennock hospital charity fund by the Rotarians. Assured, as everybody la. that the entertainment itself will be well worth the cost of the ticket and that it will afford a most enjoyable evening, then: ought to be a large purchase of ticket* by the people of this city and county Letters have been sent to practically every resident of this city and the county Inclosing tickets, with the re­ quest that the receiver remit for them or return the tickets in the enclosed envelope. The letters and tickets have been numbered, so It is known to whom they have been sent. If the feeling to­ wards Pennock hospital this time shall be as It always has been, there will be large purchases of tickets. Many will this time, os they have before, make sacrifices to buy tickets because of the worthy cause for which the entertain­ ments are given. Reserve seats, as can be seen by the half-page announce­ ment In this issue, can be procured-at the Carveth & Stebbins drug store. Tickets and reserves can be procured at that drug store or at the time the entertainments are given. The first public use of the new audi­ torium will be made for these two en­ tertainments. There will be many who will want to see the fine new audi­ torium, which is the equal of any to be found in this state or any other in a city of this size. The new auditorium will give all who attend a far better opportunity, to see and to hear what takes place on the stage than was pos­ sible in the High school auditorium, where previous Rotary entertainment* were given. Read the announcement on another page and plan to be at the show either Tuesday or Wednesday night. LENT CORNERS.

IN THE NEW CENTRAL SCHOOL AUDITORIUM Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings, Feb. 3 and 4 COMMENCING AT 8 O’CLOCK SHARP, Central Standard Time The Hastings Rotary Club Will Put On Another Home Talent Minstrel Show On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, February 3rd and 4th, In the Auditorium of the New Central School Building The PURPOSE of giving these entertainments is to help provide a “Charity Fund" for Pennock Hospital, and every penny above the necessary ex­ penses will go to the “Charity Fund" of that hospital. Since Pennock Hospital was started between 9,000 and 10,000 patients have been cared for in this splendid institution, and it is the proud boast today that "never has a case been turned away,” no matter whether the patient had any money or not. The great majority of these cases have come from outside of Hastings, so the benefits have been county wide. The* Board of Managers, all ladies, have done a wonderful work in connection with this hospi­ tal, and have often been put to their “wits end” as to finances, especially in connection with charity work. Inasmuch as they have always served without one cent of pay, and still do, these entertain­ ments are put on with the idea of establishing a fund, so that these ladies will not have to get out and “beg” for money, or hold "tag days," parties, or serve meals, lo get means to carry on this humanitarian service that we should ALL help shoulder, instead of dumping the responsibility on a few poble hearted souls who have cheerfully carried the load. If you think the object is worthy, it will be appreciated if you will buy just as many tickets as you can, no matter where you live. These Rotary Minstrel Shows in the past have been very successful but we aro sure that you will agree that the ones this year will be better than any of those given in the past. If you enjoy good music, you'll like the .chorus work and various skits. If you enjoy a good latigh the local “hits" and comedy will afford you plenty of opportunity. Those members of the Rotary Club who take part, and many of those who do not, have given a lot of time to practice, mailing and address­ ing letters, and everything else that could be thought of, to make these entertainments a splendid success. But above all elte wu the desire to be of some service in helping to create a good sized Charity Fund for Pennock Hospital, because of the urgent need for it, in this time of world-wide depression and unemployment. • , j This, too, will be the first entertainment given in the auditorium of the new Central School building. You will be able to see better, hear better, and you’ll certainly enjoy the easy, comfort­ able seats. * H. G. Hayes, Cashier of the Hastings National Bank,- Is the Treasurer of Pennock Hospital. If You Have f^t Been Solicited to Buy Ticket* By Circular, or Otherwise, and Wish to Help This Cause Along, You Can Mail Your Remittance Directly to Mr. Hayes. Tickets Can Also Be Se­ cured At Any Drug Store In Hastings. Those Who Have Ticket* Are Requested to Settle for Them, or Return Them to Mr. H. G.

Michigan BANNER WANT ADVS BRING RESULTS FORD SMOOTHNESS The new Ford has more than twenty ball and roller bearings EVIDENCE of lhe high quality built into the new Ford is the extensive use of ball and roller bearings. There arc more than twenty in all — an unusually large num­ ber. Each bearing is adequate in size and carefully selected for the work it has to do. At some points in the Ford chassis you will find ball bearings. At others, roller bearings are used regardless of their higher cost. The deciding factor is the per­ formance of the car. The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the new Ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline, increases speed and power, gives quicker pick-up, de- . creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer lift to vital moving parts. Other outstanding features that make the new Ford a value far above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield,silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, four Houdaillc double-acting hydraulic shock absorbera, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves, three-quarter floating rear axle, Rustless Steel, the ex­ tensive use of fine steel forgings, and unusual accuracy in manufacturing.

There can be no question that If the Spirit of Christ were tn the hearts of parents, there would be harmony, peace and better living in the home, and finer and more helpful examples Mt before tire chil­ dren. The Christian religion 13 unique in that it does not merely offer a code of morals and expect individuals unaided to live them. It does give such a code of monria; but the Master of men added his promise of the help ot his Spirit to all who sincerely endeavor and wish to be true. We hope that pastors and church members of Barry county wUl be big enough to realise that the day ol stressing theological denominational differences is forever gone; and the day of real living with the old of lhe Spirit is at hand. The American people are sick and tired ot denomlnaUonalIsm. It gets nowhere. Every pastor who wants to serve his church and his com­ munity ought to recognize this and en­ deavor to so Interpret religion to the people to whom he ministers, whether members of the church or not. that they will be attracted to It. They will not be drawn to idle discussion of theological differences nor to the empty husks of denomlnatlonalism They will be attracted by sincere Christian living and friendly helpful service.

' Every Hastings citizen will be inter­ ested In thc usability of the class rooms In their new building They arc built for pupils and for teachers who will enjoy and appreciate their worth for decades to come." Among the special features of the building are The auditorium seating 1136 and equipped with up-to-date stage facilities for producing plays, a kindergarten suite with work room, aquarium, sandpiles and fireplace in ccniiecUon; a science room with a glass covered growing room fitted with steam colls and soli boxes: a sound­ proof music room, a play room with shower and locker rooms and a kitchenette In connection, an oppor­ tunity room, u visual education room; and a suite for the county normal school.

Probably few people here realize the’ amount of preliminary work done by the school board. In view of the fact that the members serve free of charge and that al) of them are busy with other important activities in addition. the debt of gratitude tiiat this communlty owes them becomes more apparent. First came thc choice of an archltect, a consideration of fundamental Importance. To eliminate guess work. the board compiled a list of superior school buildings in the state together with the architects who designed them " ' A preliminary survey eliminated all but six names from the list. Then came Inspection tours to the school buildings In various parts of Michigan designed by these six. This reduced the list still further. Already thc work ot one architect seemed outstanding, but as an added precaution thc board sent out a four-page questionnaire to thc school boards of schools built by ar­ chitects still regarded as possibilities The letter contained such queries os: "Are you satisfied with the building?" "Was the architect open to sugges­ tions?” "Would you hire the architect if you were building again?" etc. Thc replies were carefully tabulated and the results confirmed the Judg­ ment arrived at from the Inspection trips. Talks with various contractors served as an added confirmation. So the board engaged Warren 8.

Holmes and regulated by a thermostatic system of The Powers Regulator Co. has been Installed In the new Central school under supervision of L J. Deming of Cadillac. In general the heating system con­ sists of the blower units and the radia­ tor units Just inside of the air Inlets to the rooms. The air in the blowers is warmed to a few degrees below thc re­ quired room temperature and stepped up to the proper temperature by being forced past the radiators mentioned in tiie preceding sentence. This system, together with the thermostatic hook­ up. enables tiie rooms to be regulated In pairs to a comfortable temperature Independent of lhe rest of the build­ ing—a few of the rooms have Individ­ ual hegt control. The auditorium, too. is heated Independently of the rest of the building. There are three blower units; one for thc auditorium, one for the northern half of the building and one for the southern. Air for these blowers is brought in through vents in the attic. The shutters of these vents are controlled automatically to regulate dial board In the northern fanroom permits the operator to accurately de­ termine the temperature of the air In the shafts and In conduits leading from the fans to the rooms. At normal capacity these fans change the air in lhe room about once each seven minutes. If operated at full capacity the heating system is capable ot raising thc temperature of tiie room from 40 degrees to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In about ten minutes. The main units of the system are conducted to the various parts of the building through tunnels which make lhe pipes readily available for repair MISCELLANEOUS COMMENT. Voyle Manee. a local dealer who had charge of electrical wiring and fixtures, commented, on the smoothness with which the work progressed and the entire lack of the usual bad under­ currents of feeling. Mr. Manee also said that the contractors and sub­ contractors gave thoughtful co-opera­ lion to lhe work the others .were doing. Local workmen said that they had never been employed on a Job where construction Was carried on so systematlcally. When one Job was finished thc material and plans were Invariably arranged in good order for the next. If a new tool or special material was needed the man in charge placed thc order promptly. Both Mr. Holmes and the contractors were impressed by the fact that they never heard a single word of protest against the building by residents of this community. Visitors, they said, in­ variably took a great interest in tiie building and were quick to appreciate the value of the special features Incor­ porated. They thought It remarkable that tiie city was behind tiie project so solidly. TILE-TEX Asphalt Tile Flooring Installed in Corridors and Classrooms of New Central School t i j I C. M. ST.

IT'S THE BEST LOOKING HOUSE ON THE STREET" OOONCtWO an old bouse is In itself a sim­ ple process. Under our Budget Payment Plan, no ready cash is necessary—the cost of modemixing is paid out of income—by the month. These monthly payments are surpris­ ingly low—ten. twenty or at the most thirty dollars a month is usually sufficient to do the average job. You have three, four or hve years to pay. - It is remarkable what new shutters and win­ dows, a coat of paint and an attractive though simple entrance will do to give an old, run down house, style and liveability. Repair or replace that leaky roof—repaint —do whatever is necessary to modernize yeur home and reap the profit of a really sound in­ vestment in health, comfort and increased resale value. M CERTIFIED MATERIAL When you modernize, get the additional security that the use of only CERTIFIED MATERIAL affords. Each item is delivered “in bond.'* Upon the completion of yourfwork you are given a Certificate of Quality-yous proof of good material, workmanship and in­ creased resale value.

Solo parts, in the order of their ap­ pearance, all of them of unusual merit, were as follows: "When It’s Springtime in the Rocklea" by Roy Cordes; "Every Race Has a Flag But the Coon" by Robert T. Walton; "Carolina Moon" by D. A. VanBuskirk; "What You Going to Do When the Rent Comes Around?" by J. Mortimer Townsend; "The Old Fall River Line" by Kim Sigler and DeFor­ est Walton.

Lesson Sharpe masquerading as the ladles, and Bupt. VanBuskirk. Charles Potts and Roy Cordes as lhe gentlemen who declined to be coaxed Into furnishing costly suppers for the three famished feminine*. A skit that made a hit was "What's In a Name?" In original verses. The names of prominent folks of Hastings were considered and the reasons why they were so named were set forth fluently and convincingly In song. "Melodies of Long Ago," were given by the Rotary quartet, consisting of DeForest Walton, first tenor; Kim Sig­ ler. second tenor; Roy Cordes, first baas; and cliff Dolan, second bass. Thc four appeared as colored singers, and gave a number of old time negro melodies very effectively. This was fol­ lowed by the grand finale by the entire company. A very clever skit was "The Old Pall River Line" by Kim Sigler and DeFor­ est Walton. They had a number of lo­ cal hits that were relished by the au­ dience, and Mr. Sigler gave evidence of the fact that he Is a real clog dancer. The choruses by the entire company, as well as the solos, were al! excellent. The end men and the Interlocutor were clever. Probably thc one who attracted most attention In the dialogues was not any one who had any part in the talk­ ing. but one who seemed to have a wonderful way of expressing his ap­ proval by uproarious laughter long after the point of the Joke should have registered. Tills party was Rev. Lcason Sharpe. A volunteer orchestra, conducted by Raymond Windeknecht. donated their services not only for the two shows, but also for many rehearsals. Their delightful selections and fine accom­ panying during the show added much to the pleasure of the audience each night. Special mention should be made of Ross Pierce, of Woodland, who would accept no pay for his playing nor for his expenses in getting to and from Hastings to his home. The mem­ bers of the orchestra were as follows: Raymond Windeknecht and Dan Walldorff. violins; Mrs. Hubert Cook, piano; Hubert Cook, clarinet; Carroll McGuffln and John Cruc. saxophones: Roderick Warner and Roy Chandler, trumpets; Ross Pierce, trombone; Claud Bush, drums. This entertainment gave a fine op­ portunity to appreciate Hastings' new and beautiful auditorium with Its won­ derful acoustic qualities. They ore cer­ tainly fine. The opera chairs ore very comfortable and are so spaced as to make one feel he la not cooped up. but has ample room to change his position in his seat without having his knees collide with the seat In front of him. The total receipts of the Minstrel show this time were $1400.10. It is pos­ sible that a few more dollars may come In from those who have not returned their tickets as yet. The Expenses this time were higher than usual, because of the size of the stage and because the Rotarians decided this year to put on their show in a different manner than heretofore, which made the costumes cost more. Had thc stage setting been adapted to such a performance, no large expense for putting on the play, outside of the advertising, printing, postage and costumes, would have been necessary. Renting of costumes, printing, advertising and postage make a considerable sum. Thc total regular expenses this time, outside of the set­ ting. amounted to $383.48. When the Rotarians planned to put on this show It Ki found that the school board had exhausted their ap­ propriation for thc new auditorium and stage, and had no money with which to buy a stage setting. That sit­ uation would have made it necessary for thc Rotarians themselves to furnish some sort of equipment which would be only temporary. It could have been used only for the two entertainments; and would bo useless thereafter. In other words it would have been Just a make-shift for this one show. Judging by their experience In the past, the Ro­ tarians figured that it would have cost not less than $180 to put up a suitable temporary background for this show. Every reader well knows that such a performance requires a proper setting to be effective. The setting 1* a port, and an important part, in the develop­ ment of such an entertainment and is absolutely indispensable. Based on their former experience with the much smaller stage in the High school auditorium, the Rotarians would have been required to expend $150 for a (Continued from page one) temporary, make-shift affair for their two entertainments.

SHEEP KICKED FORTUNES AROUND THE HOUSE But the Children Who Found the Pretty Stone* Didn't ’ Know What They Were The recent death of Trader O’Reilly revives a circumstance of historic im­ portance. Way back In 1860 he was a trader over in South Africa. One of the places that he occasionally visited was lhe little home of farmer VanNlerkerk, a Dutchman, who owned a little farm and was blessed with numerous Chil­ dren. In romping around the farm the children found a lot ot peculiar looking stones, some quite large and other* smaller. Attracted by their unusual ap­ pearance. the children picked them up and took them to the' house, where they played with them, and kicked them around in their sports. Those of the larger one* was worth a fortune, of which they ware ignorant of course. But the eye of thc'trader was attracted to those unusual looking stones, and he discovered what they were, bought many who make important discoveries of national resources. Trader ORlelly died a poor man.

Judge Smith wm always deeply inter­ ested in our schools.

He traced the his­ tory. of public education in this country.1 as well as in this state. Michigan had , had a leading part, and had in many, respects been a pioneer. In establish- , Ing free schools and public education I upon a right basis. He paid a fine' tribute to John D. Pierec, the first auperirttendent of public instruction in * Michigan, who Is now justly regarded! as the founder of Michigan? cduca- । 't tonal system, including grade schools.) high schools, normal colleges mid the] university. He spoke of thc work of j Horace Mann of Massachusetts, of Henry Barnard of Connecticut. Who I were leaders in the early movement to) establish n system of free public cdu-' cation. He said that at one time, in the : early history of thte country, the, thought of free schools was ridiculed. > They were classed as "pauper schools."' It was then insisted that no parent is entitled to have hte child educated un­ less he paid tlie expense himself. ’ The speaker said that. In 1821. th" first high school in this country was] established in Boston. In 1829. in New • York City, at a meeting of mechanics) and workmen, they urged the impor- I tance, thc necessity and the fairness at I public schools for the children of all I citizens, and that it was lhe duty of) the state to provide them. In 1B30 workingmen's meetings in Philadelphia I and Boston urged free public educa­ tion.

To show the prqgrcw that has been) made in educational affairs Mr. Smith explained that, in 1837.

An event occurred In this state, in 1872 In lhe then village of Kalamazoo, which put public education upon a proper legal basis in Michigan. The school board of that place proi>osed lo establish a public school system tn Kalamazoo. A friendly suit was start­ ed to lest the t ight of the school b&nrcL! even when authorized by tlie majority | of the people, to establish such a sys-1 tern and support it by taxation.

HEAR THE “THEREMIN” NEXT SUNDAY EVENING Miss Engleharte to Play Sev­ eral Selections At Metho­ dist Church -Next Bunday evening at the Metho­ dist church an opportunity will be given the people of Hastings and vi­ cinity to hear some unusual music, when Mias Maunette Engleharte will give several selections on the Victor Theremin, a most unique musical in­ strument. This instrument was developed by a young Russian scientist. Professor Leon Theremin. and produces musical sounds by exclusively electrical means, and Included in the equipment are radiotrons. two metal bars as antennae and a loud speaker. One metal bar controls the tone or pitch and ths other controls volume. The most wonderful part Is that the Instrument Is played without touch­ ing It—simply by waving one's hands In the air. It* range is about three octaves and the lower tones resemble a bassoon or string boss while the higher notes resemble a cello, or viola. To operate a Theremin ail one needs to do la to be able to "carry a tune" and use the hands. You will be interested in hearing this musical marvel at the Methodist church Bunday evening at seven o'clock. Admission free, with the usual offering. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

I get a lot of pleasure from reading the Banner and get news of people that I used to know .while 1 lived in Hastings. But I did enjoy last week's as it told so much about the school and differ­ ent school buildings that arc and had been in Hastings And with the addition of this won­ derful new building Hastings can justly be proud of their school plant. I would very much have liked to have been at the dedication of this new building as it certainly must have been a very enjoyable affair.—W. A. Lampman. ERN CIVIL ZATION FRBSIDSMT PAUL VOELKLB GAVE ENLIOHTBNINO TALK TO BOTAE1ANS COUNTRY SPENDS $16,­ 000,000,000 FOR CRIME Delinquency Situation Is Also Alarming and Detrimental to Our Country President. Paul Voelker, of Battle Creek College, was the speaker al the Rotary luncheon Monday noon. He " discussed some vital matters that tlireaten modem civilization. First 1* the crime situation which, according to some estimates, is costing this country 516,000.000.000, while our national income to around <75.000,000.­ 000 or 580.000.000.000. We arc spending three times as much to deal with crime a* we are for education. This to only part of the problem. The other to the delinquency problem—so many who are unable to pas* an intel­ ligence test above the sixth or seventh made after they have become adults Crime and delinquency will doom pur civilization unless we can find a way. to end them. Another threat to civilization Is war. It we should have another conflict in­ volving Europe, it would spell the doom of western civilization.

W would not even prevent matrimony; but it would prevent the propagation The next problem Is preventing war When we realize the frightfuiness which would inevitably attend another world war we can understand how nec­ essary it Is that civilization find some way to avoid such a catastrophe. The speakers remedy was a federation of nations which would absolutely forbid any member starting a war. and this union should be brought about by the necessity of saving the world, and our country should participate. Another remedy the speaker urged was adult education. So many people are reading trash, not giving thought to the conditions that are about us They are living in the 18th or 19th centuries tn their thinking, while science has gone way beyond that. We need to be thinking In terms of 20th century science and Invention. The prime requisite for everyone is to face facta as they are and Insist upon remeIdles to be applied, or else we will be ; acquiescing in a situation that will produce a race ot degenerates or re- We must face the problem of unem­ ployment; of what to do to rid our cities of the slum districts that pour out criminals and morons to curse LENT STARTS TO-DAY. society.

It is not our idea to see how MUCH milk we can produce, but to see bow GOOD, how CLEAN and how PURE milk we can pro- More attention has been paid to the milk supply of cities and towns in the past cal world recognizes that good, pure milk is the “world’s most perfect food.” But medical research men, through careful investigations of disease epidemics, and their causes, discovered that raw milk is a great CARRIER of disease germs. If the real. CAUSES of the severe epidemics of the past could be KNOWN, there is no question but what raw milk would be found to be one of the greatest con­ tributors. i We Believe That There Are Enough People In Hastings and Barry County, Who Appreciate Pure, Clean SAFE, Milk Who Will Demand Every Pound of Milk We Can Produce, With this idea in mind, we have equipped our dairy with all the very latest equipment to produce QUALI­ TY milk under the beat and moat sani­ tary conditions. The air in pur stables is CHANGED every 3 or 4 minute*; every cow has her own individual drinking fountain; the milking is done mechanically. Our herd is carefully tested TWICE EACH YEAR by a rep­ resentative of the State Department of Agriculture. In the last TWO TESTS of our herd EVERY ANIMAL in the herd passed _a -NEGATIVE -TEST showing that they are all FREE from disease of any kind. One more test like that and we will have one of the few large “ACCREDITED HERDS” in the State of Michigan. These are only a few of the MANY things that we have done td provide the people of this city and community with the BEST, and SAFEST milk that it is possible to produce. When our customers use our milk we want to KNOW, and we want THEM to KNOW, that it is of high QUALITY and perfectly SAFE to use. Our con­ stant thought is to tee. how CLEAN, .r PURE and SAFE milk we can produce —not to see HOW MUCH milk we lowest possible price per quart. In the whole state of Michigan, we doubt if the people of any city are getting milk of the QUALITY, PURI­ TY, and CLEANLINESS, that we are selling—at only 10 cents a quart. We always recommend Pasteurized Milk because of it* SAFETY, and when you get it from thl* dairy you can know that it i* just a* CLEAN a* it can possibly be, and that it is pro­ duced under the most sanitary condi­ tions. any time that is convenient for you. be glad to show yov some of the thing* wo nave done to guarantor Hastings a CLEAN, SAFE supply of milk.

But their earnings ■ on their actual Investments are small. people of this country must realize what a disaster it would be if the rail­ roads of this country should become unprofitable from a business stand­ point. which Is likely Lo happen unless they are treated fairly. In fairness there ought to be a respite from rate reductions which have been quite fre­ quent in recent years. Railroads ought not to' be hampered by regulations that do not bind their competitors in the transportation business. In other words there ought to be a comparative system of rate regulations for all com­ peting transportation, whether It be trucks, by water or by pipe line. A few years ago the railroads lost out by attempting lo browbeat and bully the public. That attitude has been altogether changed Railroads are now seeking to serve the public. It will be a sorry day for this country if anything should happen to them that would end the fine service they arc rendering. The whole country would suffer, and suffer Intensely.

This lie had attained when he was but nineteen years of age. Then he went to London and graduated from London University. He also look a law course In England, became a member of the Temple bar, which is the highest hon­ or that an English lawyer can attain. He joined a cosmopolitan law firm, having offices in London. Calcutta and In Durban. South Africa. Some people regard Mahatma as u fanatic, but Dr. Fisher says he is far from that. As a lawyer he was earning S36.000 a year, which places him very high in the ranks of attorneys in th= British Empire. A fanatic would never be capable of earning $36,000 a year. Gandhi had told the speaker that his mother, who was a Jain, a very strict sect of India, hud the most in­ fluence over his life. She had taught him "saty graha"—silent, harmless resistance ot evil; silent and harmlesi insistence upon the truth. That was the reason why he had insisted that lhe resistance of thb people of India lo British rule must never be by force, but must be a silent, harmless resistance to British authority, and an equally silent insistence upon the right of the people of India lo rule themselves. All Gandhi turned aside from his moth­ Sizes er's training when, after the outbreak of Hie World war. he co-operated with England in enlisting armed forces in India to serve in that war. He did this upon the British promise of a far larger measure of liberty to the people of India, if they would drive such aid. The English owed their victories in Mesopotamia, in Arabla\and in Pales­ tine to the Indian troops, according to General Allenby. Many of them also served in France. Gandhi visited France. While the.-e he went.to the front line trenches, a little before the close of the war.

So he returned to India, sold and gave away to help-other people all thit he owned In that country—thousands of acres of land and fine buildings. He dispossessed himself of his personal estate. He determined that he would live as the ordinary peasant In India lives—on eleven cents a day. He has done it; and has won the appaoval and appreciation of all races and beliefs in India by his self-sacrifice. He dedicat­ ed himself to the ending of war; to the rescue of India from what he realized, in spile of its achievements, as the degradation of western civilization, which ignored human beings, which used violence, and resorted lo force whenever some selfish end could be gained thereby. For hundreds of years the Moham­ medans and the Hindus of India have hated and fought each other. Through Gandhi these have been brought to un­ derstand each other and to work to­ gether peacefully for the common good of India. There was a great conference of Mohammedan and Hindu leaders at Delhi. There immediately the animos­ ity between the Mohammedans and the Hindus broke out. They could not agree on a program. Gandhi stood up and announced to them all that they pre­ tended to respect him but they did not; they pretended to believe in his prin­ ciples. but their acts showed that they did not.

Is it affording equal opportunities for education? Contrast the situation in rural dis­ tricts of Cutieton township, where not over forty-five per cent of the eighth graders ever get to high' school, with that of Woodland, where almost one hundred per cent have a high school training: or with that In tiw Kellogg school just over the county line in Ross township, where aboUt~hinetyelght per cent of those of high school age residing in the consolidated dis­ trict attend high school. Which to more in harmony with the democratic Ideal of equal opportunity? Wo notice that In Cutieton town­ ship, according to this communication. districts for maintaining alghth grade schools to $736 on the $1,000. Others say it to $739. There are no build­ ing propoaiUons Involved In that overage, so $736 or $7.89 represents the actual cost per $1,000 assessment of operating the rural schools of that township. It to unfair to compare that situation with the one in Woodland, as the twenty-eight gentlemen have done. In 1030 the Woodland school tax rate wu $1530 on the $1,000, on $1,­ 625,000 valuation. But Included In it are $6,000 principal and $4,545 Interest on school bonds, or about $6.48 per $1,000, leaving $8.82 on the $1300 as the actual cost of operating the Wood­ land consolidated school. Woodland bonded tor 1123,000. and since 1K3, Including this year, has regularly paid the 4*4 per cent interest, and reduced the principal by $30,000 since 1023. Castleton, with a considerably larger valuation, to asked to bond for only $70,000. The superintendent of the Kellogg school in Roos township told a fanners' gathering In Prairie­ ville, that the entire expense, includ­ ing payments on principal and interest on school bonds, for that school last year was but $1030 on the $1,000. De­ ducting $2.00 for principal and inter­ est on bonds would leave the running expenses $830 per $1,000. But suppose we take Mr. Ford’s estimate, os quoted In the communication. $13.00 per $1300. Of this we understand $230 was to pay the principal and Interest on bonds, leaving $10.50 as the cost of operating the consolidated school. Taking Mr. Ford’s coat of operation at $1030. and subtracting $736 from It, which lhe 28 gentlemen declare Is the cost of operating the rural district schools •1,000 u Mr. Ford’s estimate of the added cost of operating a consolidated school for-the township of Culleton with twelve grades, as compared with Lhe one room rural schools with eight grades.

Gum-Dipping Eight Pounds is the Firestone trade name for that patented, basic process which makes Firestone Tires funda­ mentally different from all other tires. It is one of the reasons why Fifestone, through many years, has easily been able to make good the statement: "Most miles per dollar.” It is not something done to the tire after it is made. It is some­ thing very vital done be­ fore the tire is made. of fine, pure rubber are, by the patented Gum-Dip­ ping process, integrated into every one hundred pounds of cotton cords. This means three extra pounds of pure rubber added to an average set of tires—and added where it means most to the strength and the life of the tire. This extra rubber all goes into the cords of the tire—where you never see it Why Every Cord does Firestone put in this extra value? And what does it mean to you? It means just this. The performance—the extra value—has been shown for years on the road and in the laboratory. It has been proved that Gum-Dipping:_ _ used in Firestone Tires has been satu­ rated with a rubber solution which pene­ trates every cord and coats evdry fiber; and thus not only the cords, but also the very fibers within them are insulated. —increases the flexing life of a cotton cord by 68%. 25% to more than 40%, ac- ’ cording to the severity of the service, the higher the per‘ centage. Firestone - Gum-Dipped Tires are not just tires. They are thirty years of organized ex­ perience. They are sold only through Firestone Service Dealers End Service Stores and only as Firestone Gum-Dip­ ped Tires—bearing the Firestone name and beating the Firestone emblem that appears on this page.

H. Judin, of Kind&ley, Saskatchewan, were in the city Saturday calling on friends and renewing old acquaintance*. When Charlie was a lad. he lived near Milo, attended school there, and will be remembered by many In that community. When he was only 15 years old he went west, drifted down into Texas, where he lived for ten years and about 10 years a«o located In Saskatchwan. one ot tlie great wheat producing sections ot western Canada. In Saskatchwan Charlie has been quite successful. He has 960 acres to look after, and says that this year he will put at least half of it into wheat which Is about the beat crop that sec­ tion produces. LaM year lie says that hundreds and hundreds of acres there produced an average of 60 bushels of wheat to the acre. If war-time prices prevailed it la easy to see that a farm­ er would need only about one good crop to put him on "easy street." But at the present time, wheat is only bringing from 32 to 35 cents a bushel, so tiie outlook Isn’t so rosy. Saskatch­ ewan right now he Sayr. has enough surplus wheat on hand to meet Can­ ada's export demand lor the next year. Despite this, the fanners there planning on putting1 in a good big acreage of whsat this year for the simple reason that it Is the best "money crop" they can grow. Wheat being at such a low price, lie says that Ute farmers up there would be glad to feed it to stock, but tlicy cannot raise stock because they cannot grow suf­ ficient hay and grass, so they must de­ pend upon selling the wheat at the market price. Where he is located, he says that lhe land 1* as level as a floor, and from his own door lie has counted uhigh as 18 threshing outfit* tn oper­ ation. Land sells from 810 per acre up to 850.

Tills may be due to the fact that the census was taken in the winter time when. In rural districts, Bunday schools are not so generally maintained. It might possibly be that in the spring and summer Assyria would moke a bettor showing. The actual number ot enrolled school pupils who do or do not attend Bunday sciiool reported for the different town­ ships arc as follows: . Assyria, two schools reported none of the children attending Sunday school. There was no report from the Bell district.

Johnson, sold more Christmas seals on the basis of enrollment than any oth­ er school In Barry county, the Michi­ gan Tuberculosis Association an­ nounces. and will receive in reward an attractive set of six colored In­ dian health pasters. The prize for the second best county sale, consist­ ing of the health game “Dodjum.” was won by the Gun Lake school, taught by Mrs. Flossy Castle. According to the report of the Tu­ berculosis Association, a total of 21 one-room and two-room schools In the county won prizes for seals sold in the December, 1930.-sale. The prizes in­ cluded two first aid kits, five "balls of fun.” and 14 seta of health posters. 86,476.71 worth of Christmas seals were sold by pupils of one and tworoom schools in the sixty Michigan counties to which seals ore sent di­ rectly from the office of the Michigan, Tuberculosis Association. This sum represents a substantial part of the, state Christmas seal fund. which gains Its principal volume from sealsi sold through the mall and through lo­ cal chairmen. ’ -CT’S A GOOD PLAN. The eity oi Flint is considering a novel method, one .that looks worth while, to take care ot its unemployed. The city owns several hundred acres of land suitable for farming. The plan suggested Is that persons depend­ ent on the city poor fund be em­ ployed to plant and tend crops of po­ tatoes. beans, turnips and other vege­ tables during the coming spring and summer. In return for their labor, these men would be given orders for food and other necessities such m now are distributed by Ute city. In the old world it is not uncommon for cities, to own farms and forests, which they can use for community purposes. It may bo that tl>e same plan followed in this country would help to take care of the unemployment situ­ ation. that way and will co-operate with the Foundation in giving the Kellogg plan hearty support. ; Tlie time to take advantage of this offer U NOW. If the people of Barry county fail to see In tills the golden opportunity to benefit their children, some other* county will have the chance. We fervently hope that Barry county will not allow the chance to go by without taking advantage of it and getting the wonderful help and aid to public education in rural districts which the Foundation offers. It will pay one-third of the cost of the*building and equipment. It will for ten years carry on special manual training same period will carry on health train­ ing, which will be of immeasurable benefit to the children of the rural dis­ tricts. Nothing could be finer than to have Barry county mentioned through­ out the state and country as the one county that will give to rural pupils the chance for as good grade training as they could get in a city school, and that without leaving their own homes to do so. Instead of as now giving but 45 per cent of the rural pupils the op­ portunity to go to high school, the Kellogg Foundation plan will give that w*1' *4000, IN CASH PRIZES 309 PRIZES IN ALL ‘BOWEN E1BRICS 1931 NATIONAL DRESSMAKING CONTEST Enter now!

Plaintiffs’ Contentions. The plaintiffs In the Castleton school case raise three main questions: First, that Fractional district No. 2, having been created by the local act of the legislature In 1901, tfiat act No. 319 of the public acta of 1927, known as the School Code, does not apply and that that district, having been or­ ganized by act of the legislature, can­ not be compelled by a vote of Castle­ ton township to come Into a consoli­ dation. Second, the plaintiffs contend that each of the rural districts should have been permitted to vote separately upon the question of consolidation. Third, that the election held in NasKVille September 28. 1928 of the graded school district known as Frac­ tional No. 1. was held too long prior to the election of January 2, 1931. to be considered as making Nashville a part of a consolidated district voted on at the election January 2, 1931. The Defense's Position. On first point the defense hold! that, at the time Fractional District legislature, the stale constitution con­ tained no Inhibition against the pas­ sage of local acta by that body; that in 1906 this state adopted a new con­ stitution, which contained a specific mandate against local acts# being passed by the legislature, where a gen­ eral act would apply, and that a local act could not become effective until the people affected by it had voted upon It. The defense contends that the people of District No. 2 Fractional had not voted on this question since 1908 and that the new constitution therefore makes Ineffective any attempt to put Fractional District No. 2 on a dlffer- Some time was taken by the attor­ neys for both sides arguing the points raised. After Listening to tliem, Judge McPeek requested that each side file a written brief with him on or before March 7. and that he will then con­ sider, and as soon as possible there­ after decide, the case. ENLISTING COOPERA­ TION OF STUDENTS (Oontlnued from page one) The poppy has a three-fold purpose. First, the sentiment It represents, which should never be forgotten; sec­ ond. the compensation It affords many unfortunate buddies, and their fam­ ilies. who are paid for making lite pop­ pies; third, from the sale of poppies funds are received for welfare work. Many thousands of the boys who served our country are lying In Flan­ ders' Fields, under the popples, and for this reason this flower has been chosen as the memorial emblem for those who gave their lives for us. Their memory should always be held sacred. Some of those who did return will never again be able to think clearly for themselves, and many of them are receiving no compensation from the governmentall the money they get is what they earn making popples. If it were possible for the citizens of Barry county to visit the work rooms of the veterans and watch the industry grow among these less fortunate ones, we would all be glad to assist In put­ ting this campaign across in'splendid shape. Let's ail pull together for the biggest Poppy Day ever. Remember, first, it Is the sentiment of the poppy, second, the employment it affords the veteran, and last, but not least, It provides a welfare fund for future use. MARTIN CORNERS., Remember the P.

SEND DEAD PHEASANTS AND QUAIL TO ANN ARBOR Each year the Department of Con­ versation receives reports of pheasants and quail which have been found dead apparently from lack of food or from exposure to severe cold, sleet storms, and deep snows Although this winter has so far been very mild, it is likely that during the next two months num­ bers of dead phasants and quail will be found. Without doubt a half-fed bird suffers more from the cold than does a bhd which goes to roost each night with a well-filled crop, but It Is not definite­ ly known whether It is cold alone, cold plus starvation, or a combination of these and other factors which kills the birds It is very likely that acme ot these birds die from injuries received during lhe hunting season. Since ordinarily the actual taut; of death can be detetmined only by a pathologist who Is skilled in making such examinations, and since Ibis es­ sential to find out what kVis these birds, the Conservation Department has asked that any pheasants, quail, etc., which are found dead this winter Arrangements have been made for the autopsy of these specimens by Dr. slty of Michigan. Those who find dead birds should deliver them to the local conservation officer, or send them fi­ red to the University.

Route 1. March 2, 1M1. Editors Hastings Banner. I have been reading In your valuable paper-of February 29 an article from 28 farmers of Castleton township, with reference to consolidated schools Now I have nothing to say about their school problems, as I know nothing about them; but I do visit to reply to some things they say about thia W. K Kellogg achool. I say without fear of successful contradiction that their statement is well seasoned with mis­ representation, either express or im­ plied which may be due to the mis­ information given them while here. Had they talked with some of the 90 per cent who are friendly to the school Instead of allowing themselves to hear only one side their story would have been different. They profess to have "learned these things." Now to learn a thing means to come Into possession of knowledge to that effect; and one can­ not come into possession of knowledge which does not exist. You know Josh Billings said: "It would be better to much that ain't so." The statement In regard to this achool was not obtained from a fair source in the first place; but h person vance agent to pick out men who would tell them what they wanted to hear; and here te what I mean by ■ that Harry Nagel asked Frank Lawrence what he thought of the school and. on being told that Mr. Lawrence was pleased with the school, said: “I guess I won't have them fellows come It is true that our primary depart­ ment is crowded, and we need more room, which I hope we will be sensible enough to plan for at once by voting enough bonds to cover expense ot same.

I would simply let my dally Ufe before those who know me be my reply. But I feel that this la a wholly unwarranted thrust at about ninety per cent of this commun­ ity and that is why I reply to It. Now as to taxes, we are paying u school tax rate of 10 < mills this year and paid 114 mills last year, while the average rate of all the districts, before consolidation, was 110 mills. Of course we liad one fractional district lying in both counties. which may be said to have had its rate "multiplied by four" in this way: Their last ing and the pupils do NOT attend.

One of the "four nights in a week at the schoolhouse'' is taken by the com­ munity chorus, composed of adults of the district who meet to practice sing- “for the future." So for the present I will have to place parents ahead of the child. Many a boy and girl have been ruined by being brought up or come up thinking they were the main frog in the puddle.

About how many Castleton farmers should apply for aid before It would not be advisable to bond the township? Would it be economic policy to cover Barry county with con­ solidated schoolhouses? If not Barry county, why Castleton? You say now te the time to build.

If all other Uxes were reduced In like proportion there would now be less unpaid taxes. I never heard of a farmer discarding hls binder and mower for a cradle and scythe. In the last few days have heard of communities that have dis­ carded their consolidated schoolhouses and going back to the old one-room one. If our legislature would repeal the foolish law that was conceived with the notion (without regard to cost) that farmers. whUe they know enough to build and run their own homes and take care of their children sixteen or seventeen hours a day. don't knowenough to build or fix a schoolhouse and run their schools for the best in­ terest of their children the other seven or eight hours. SUB I will venture some of our future presidents. judges and great financiers and perhaps great surgeons and preachers will get their start in the little red schoolhouse. 'After all the greatest place of educa­ tion is the home and no schoolhouse education can counteract that. If more parents realized what a help the Sun­ day school was in their children's edu­ cation more of them would be found there. I have heard of no reduction In the <00.000 bond issue on account of the 20 per cent reduction in building costs, neither have I heard of any 20 per cent reduction in price of busses.

Coach Crowley said, saved the game of football at a time when popular opinion was ready to throw it over because the excessive roughness of it was dangerous to the players. He called in representatives from Yale, Harvard, and Princeton and this group changed the game from one featuring roughness and brawn to one requiring science, brains and skill Coach Crowley states that three ad­ mirable qualities are developed In football play. First, dependability. For example a 150-pound guard must block a 200pound fullback out of play. He must do this fairly und accurately. The success of the play requires that he fulfill hte duty. Second, sportsmanship. Sports­ manship lias never been properly de­ fined. Coach Crowley says. When one ponenLs have just aa much right to win as Itself, and when the members set out by fair and honest methods to prove which team Is best, the result is sportsmanship.

TRY THE WANT COLUMN More than 73,000 miles in a New Ford THE substantial worth of the new Ford is reflected in IU good performance, economy and reliability. IU stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy extra burden on the automobile. In leas than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low and practically the only expense for repairs was for new piston rings and a new bearing for the generator. The car carried an average load of 1200 pounds of mail nnd was driven 250 miles daily. “The Ford haa never failed to go when I waa ready,” writes one of the three mail carriers operating the ear. “The starter did the trick last winter even at 34 degrees below zero. The gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull ■ trailer whenever I have a bulky load.” Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory performance. Every part has been made to endure — to serve you faithfully and well for many thousands of miles.

But up to now there has been a very real difference in the condition of the cigarette* by thc time they reached the smoker. The flavor and mildness of fine tobacco depend upon the retention of its natural, not added, moisture content which is prime at about ten per cent. If we know anything about tobacco, and we think wc do. Camels contain the choicest Turk­ ish und the mellowest, ripest domestic leaves that money can buy. In spite of our great pains always to make sure Camels left the factory with just the right amount of natural moisture, no cigarette pack­ age had ever yet been designed that could pre­ vent that precious moisture from drying out* In fact we have every reason to be proud of the quality of Camels as they come from the factory, but the remark of an old friend of ours from Denver some time ago emphasized a point that has been the problem of thc cigarette industry for years. are three things about a cigarette that can sting thc tongue and unkindly burn the throat. As he inhaled the smoke from a Camel we gave him in our offices one morning, he sighed with very evident enjoyment and then asked jokingly, ’“What is this, a special blend re­ served for Camel executives?” “Certainly not,” wc told him. “This package of Camels was bought at the corner store this morning.” “Well,” he said, “I’ve been a dyed in the wool Camel smoker for a good many yean, hut upon my soul I never got a cigarette as good as this in Denver. If you would give the rest of the world the kind of Camels you sell here in WinstonSalem, you ought to have all thc cigarette businesa there is.” Fancy Florida 54 Site ■ Foil of Juice Hamburg Port Steak Humidor Pack «0JiT« 2 1 ‘-1.7 33c Aspirtgus Chipso in the new JLhat statement simply em­ phasized again the cigarette industry’s most important problem. The more we thought about it, the surer we were that he was dead right, and that tomehow, something must be done. Denver wasn’t getting a fair break. Neither in fact was any other town. The only peo­ ple who really knew how good Camels could be,were thc folks right here in Winston-Salem. air-tight seal could give the desired protection. (D) This measure, while costly, could be relied on to keep Camels in prime condition for at least three month* in any climate. If you have a technical lx nt, the graph below made by the Pittsburgh Testing laboratory will show you the exact result* of their ex­ haustive study. (1) Cheap tobaccos. (1) Particles ot pepperg dust left In the tobacco because ot inefficient rleeining methods. (3) A parched dry condition of the to­ bacco due to loss ofnuturai moisture bg overheating or evaporation. Always certain of the quality of our tobaccos we had already made Camel a “dustless" cig­ arette by the use of a specially designed vacuum cleaning apparatus exclusive with our factory. Now, if we could perfect a package that would actually act as a humidor and retain the natu­ ral moisture content, then Yuma, Arizona, could enjoy Camels as much as we do here at Winston-Salem. We knew what we wanted. We tried many things. We asked the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory to help us. After many experiments and humidity tests covering all methods of packing cigarettes came the detailed report of which this is the net: (A) Noexisting cigarette pack­ age, including those wrapped in glassine paper or ordinary cellophane, gives any tiling like adequate protection against evaporation, • That was due to a factor no cigarette manufacturer had ever been able to control. (B) All cigarettes so packed tend to dry out rapidly from thc day they are released from the factory. Naturally there is no differ­ ence whatever in the quality (C) Only a waterproof mate­ rial with a specially devised Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory chart above graphically shows you that only the Camel Humidor Pack delivers cigarettes to you In prime condition You may be sure we gave thl* report a lot of careful study. We checked it and re-checked it und then wo went ahead. We tried this device and that. At last we met success. The air-tight wrapping involved thc designing of special processes, special machine*. That costs a lot of money, more than 82,000,­ 000 thc first year, but after you have tried Camels packed this modern new way we are sure you will agree it is a fine investment. For some time now every Camel that ha* left our factory ha* gone out in this new Humidor Pack. We have said nothing about it until now, to make sure your dealer would be able to supply you when the good new* came out. Camel smokers of course'hare already dis­ covered that their favorite cigarette is better and milder now than ever before. If you aren’t a Camel smoker, try them just to see what a difference there really is between harsh, dried out tobacco and a properly con­ ditioned cigarette. You can feel the difference, you can hear the difference and you certainly can taste the dif­ ference. Of course we’re prejudiced. We always have believed that Camel is the world’s best cigarette. Now ws know It. Just treat yourself to Camels in th* new Humidor Pack and see if you don’t bgrus. R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY . Winston-Salem, N> C. �THE BAITINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11.

Opponents of the bill claim It is too drastic. They point that circumstantial evidence permits con­ viction. In our country, however, a man is assumed innocent until proven guilty and all the defense need do is establish a reasonable doubt in the minds of thc jury. Consequently an accased cannot be sentenced unless the evidence presented is incontestable. Also the law provides a review by the supreme court of all cases where the death penalty has been ordered. Those who claim that the bill permits senfencing on ‘'flimsy” circumstantial । torist* have gradually crowded in next to the hitching posts. This past year some farmers have been forced to adopt horse and wagon transporta­ tion again. Once here they are perplexed to find suitable parking space.

Social progress there has been, the envy of the elder nations. But such progress has been made on the truly hardpan American principle, namely, that social progress cannot proceed faster than material progress. Not so long ago Australia was held up by Idealists as a shining example of what government should do in taking over lhe personal responsibilities of Its citizens—from running their business to doctoring them when they are sick. But Australia is bankrupt today, and those who applauded iu social pro­ gram then now ignore the havoc wrought by a misguided paternalism There are many things social we would like to do quickly—Americans are proverbially Impatient—but all such undertaking* must depend upon the state's ability—which is the in­ dividual's ability—to pay for what It wants. Government, like the Individuals whose composite it is, must pick and choose from Innumerable projects which press upon Its benevolence, if those who ultimately must pay are to preserve their own economic independ­ ence and ability to pay. No solvent state can be built upon u bankrupt citizenry. But there is a higher principle In­ volved. One would think from the welter of paternalistic proposals that all had agreed that the price we pay for in­ dividual liberty is too'great, that we must be protected against ourselves. The hazards of failure are to be tak­ en sway, but at a price—with them are to go the chances of success. Thc road we have come was paved with a different philosophy.

A good many pounds of noxious flsii were taken last jrar in this dis­ trict under the supervision of Officer Sumner. This was done after lhe close of the regular spearing season and be­ fore many of the pan and game fish had started to bed. Carp, dog fish and gar were taken.

In Hasting* we are blessed with an abundant supply of good pure water, and any outbreak of disease is not apt to come from that source. When medical re­ search workers entered the fight to ferret out the CAUSE of disease epidemics, they found impure raw milk and impure water were the greatest offenders, and epidemic* were almost invariably traced to one or the other of them—mostly to impure milk. . t The State of Michigan then took a hand in this matter to protect the people, especially in the cities, and today inspector* from the State Department of Agri­ culture regularly inspect the dairies.

In 1930 only 64 out of each 1,000 babies bom there died before one year old. That prove* it’s worth while.

This, he pointed out, represents about 81450 in Interest money wasted for each 8100.000. Credit bureaus. Mr. Deremo said, are trying to assist business men to collect their bills on time. Mr. Deremo also outlined a county plan for banks making small loans that has been successful in reducing duplicate loans and losses. Represen­ tatives of each bank in the county meet and make out cards for every person who has borrowed 1100 or more. Another card Is made out for the in­ dorsers. On a given dale these cards arc all sent to a secretary who sorts and flics them alphabetically. Eacii day thereafter the banks send in records of any loans made. Results In one county, Mr. Deremo said, showed that 1.000 persons had borrowed from two bonks. 300 from three banks. 60 from four banks and one from fourteen different bunks.

That Is too huge a bill. It is more than three times us much as we pay for education. Unless we can do something to check this rap­ id growth of crime, this country is doomed.

RUBINER STIRS UP INDIG­ NATION AMONG SOLONS ASSERTS INTERESTS OF PEOPLE NOT CONSIDERED Names Four Detroit Members Who "Trade Votes" to Help Employers’ Business Some time ago Assistant Attorney General Charles Rubiner. of Lansing, made a public address In which he sharply criticised some things he had seen in the legislature at Lansing. One of the subjects he mentioned was that I there were members ot the legislature who seemed to have no Idea of the eternal fitness of things. They were supposed to be forking for the Inter- Thermos Bottle’ Baths a thermo’ Kot /for hour*, why thi* heater b so AT THE MOW new low price CONSUMERS gas Water Hea*er 95 down th? pay of corporations which had In­ terests at stak&Jn the action of thc state's legislative body. Naturally, as an honest man. he did not think that was warranted. Further he discussed lhe manner In which certain measures are pushed through the legislature saying, that the merits ot the enact­ ment are not considered so much as is the doing of something to help out some other politician member, so that he can get what he wants. In return he would favor some measure which po­ litical trader No. 1 wanted to have the legislature do. There seemed for a time to be a good deal of righteous indignation In the house of representatives after Mr. Rubiner made these charges. It led to the appointment of a committee and a threat to have him brought before the committee to either substantiate his charges or apologize. Mr. Rubiner came before the com­ mittee as per request. If they expected him to do any crawfishing they cer­ tainly had another guess coming. The Assistant Attorney General did not mince words in telling what he thought of members who received pay from ths slate to serve In the legislature but more pay from corporation* that would be affected by legislation which they did not want enacted, and against which their employees in the legisla­ ture were expected to both vote and work. Naturally such representaUves NOWS (?) of the people would not wish to disappoint those from whom they re­ ONLY ceived the most money. One member of lhe legislature from CONNtCTIONS to .-Utl"9 the city of Detroit openly admitted he opposed proposed legislation that would make it more expensive for the operation of busses on. the public roads of Michigan or increase the cost of that public utility. He is an officer of a bus owners' organization. A man who represents employers of that nature icertajgly has no business to vole on {any bill affecting the Interests which he serves. We think that Mr. Rubiner was quite within hls rights when he freely criticised such proceedings. There were three others, all from De­ troit. who represent corporation*, while serving the people (?) at Lansing. He repeated his assertion that "the {more I see of politicians the more re ■ |»pect I have for the racketeers."

On the other hand If the penalty of, life Imprisonment meant what It im­' ported. what a deterring effect It, would have upon the criminal-minded, stronger in many cases' than the fear of electrocution t To recapitulate what has been said there are the following remedies for this terrible orgy of crime, all of them in my humble opinion, preferable to the proposed amendment:— Reforming our immigration laws; educating our youth properly; modify­ ing our methods ot publicity and our attitude towards crime; enforcing our prohibition laws; improving our Ju- fectlve and prompt; modifying oqr statutes relative to'pardoning convicts. Why not resort to thesq remedies rather than try the old Mosaic law of ’’an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Why not follow the spirit of the New Testament and the teaching of Christianity, rather than take a step backward and downward?

HASTINGS CITY BANK “ The Bank with the Chime Clock ” LOWER SCHOOL CON__ STRUCTION COSTS In recent years scliool official* have been compelled to undertake school plant expansion In spite of the fact that construction coat* were high and the bond market not always favorable. A rapidly increasing school population gave them no alternative. Other school officials succeeded by various device* in ixutponlng their building programs. These school officials who were for­ tunate enough to be able to delay con­ struction now find themselves in a very advantageous position. A survey of 140 school district* which have let contracts for school construc­ tion during 1930 reveals a marked low­ ering of construction coats—much greater than generally believed.

Practically all of these one hun­ dred and forty school districts stated Use savings were effected in part by lower costs of construction material. One hundred twenty-four reported closer estimates by contractors. Sev­ enty-seven reported lower wages os a factor in savings. Forty-five reported savings because of a more favorable bond market.

Note that Camels are completely en­ closed in an outer transparent cover of moisture-proof cellophane and sealed air-tight at every point. We call this outer shell the Humidor Pack.

It means, for instance, that evaporation is checkmated and that Salt t C The Humidor Pack insures that.

First of all you can feel the difference as you roll the cigarettes between your fingers. Camels are full-bodied and pliable. A dry cigarette crumbles under pressure and sheds tobacco. If you will hold a cigarette to each ear and roll them with your fingers you can actually hear the difference. The real test of course is to smoke them. And here’s where the new Humidor Pack proves a real blessing to the smoker. As you inhale the cool, fragrant smoke from a Camel you get all the mildness and magic of the fine tobaccos of which it is blended. But when you draw in the hot smoke from a.dried cigarette see how flat and brackish it is "by and how _ comparison _ hareh It la to your throat. If you are a regular Camel smoker you have already noticed what proper condition of the cigarette means.

It 1* not as favorably situated as Barry in respect to available supplies of gravel, so it has been compelled to purchase washed gravel or crushed limerock for the re­ newal of the surface of its gravel roads The mounting cost* for mainte­ nance have made the supervisor* of that county and its county road commission aware that they are up against a ser­ ious proposition; but they ha vs met the situation in a sensible manner, we think. Three years ago the county road commission, with the approval of the supervisors, put down two miles of black-top covering on each of three stretches of county road. The people tried It out through that season and watched how It wintered. It seemed very satisfactory. Not wishing to go into the matter too heavily, th* county the next year put down four additional miles on each of the three stretches. Results were watched, and they were likewise satisfactory. Last War tiyrt county laid eighteen miles oF black top paving on its county roads. All seem to be satisfied with the results.

The author li our good friend Dean Eugene Daven- head of the Illinois College of Agricul­ ture. and was also the vice-president of the Illinois Blate University. Dean Davenport 1* a noted educator, thoroughly Imbued with the Idea that th* American system of public educa­ tion Is the best on earth. IF the peo­ ple are watchful, anti do not permit their universities and normal schools to become the prey of politicians. Michigan seems fortunately situated in this respect. Our state university is controlled by a board of regents elected by the people at spring election*, when politics Is not much of a factor. The Michigan State college and our four normal colleges are under the direction of the state board of education. So long a* the people maintain this situation, and exercise care In the selection of the right type of men. our university will prosper and will be able to give the largest possible service to our people. The article by Dean Davenport 13 - headed "What About th* Stole Universitles" and is reprinted from an ad­ dress he delivered In 1M8.

They have purchased additional distributors and other paraphernalia for thia type of resurfacing and have Tarmac. They have also bought a large storage tank for. that material, so that they can unload it as fast as received. without storage ciiargcs ac­ cumulating. As we understand It. the authorities of Van Buren expect to continue this program until all their county roads are surfaced with black top, and hope to add 50 miles of It each year. The advantage of the new paving Is that very little maintenance work is necessary. One man with a Ford truck and a supply of Tarmac material available can patrol and do the little patch work that may be required on 30 to 50 miles, which will greatly re­ duce expenses and maintain a good road. The people living along such resurfaced roads, as well as those who travel over them, will be delighted be­ cause of the freedom from dust. It makes travel so much more pleasant The ones who will gain most will be the taxpayers of Van Buren county. Very sensibly the road commission Is resurfacing the main travelled roads first; then will give their attention to the less Important highways, in this manner that county will affect a large yearly saving, will have far better roads at much less cost to maintain, baaing their expectations on experience., they have had with the black top roods that they have tried out In the last few years. And they will be free from dust. Hoping to relieve the taxpayers of this county of every possible tax. our county road commission did not ask the supervisors to appropriate a dollar for highway maintenance for 1031. They carried over a surplus from the previous year. If the license money and gasoline money from the state shall equal that of last year, our county commission hopes to not only main­ tain its 200 miles of roads, but also to resurface with black top several miles during 1931. Just how far they may be able to carry, out this program will depend upon how much money they must use for maintenance purposes. They cannot allow the gravel roads to go pieces; but they will keep the main­ tenance expense at the lowest limit in order to save every poMlble dollar for use In resurfacing with Tarmac or some other material. It will be remembered that the road commission authorized Engineer Rakowsky to lay about three and one-half miles of four different types of black top resurfacing materials on the coun­ ty road leading south and north from Hickory Corners, with about one-half mile on an east and west county road. It has cpme through the winter in fine shape. Practically no maintenance work will need to be done on it this year, which win be a considerable saving. If the county can add to the mileage of black top roads, it will be a help to the roads and to the taxpayers, as well as an added comfort to all who travel our roods or live on such lines os may be resurfaced.

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” Michigan .desires the death penalty to make sure of protecting citizens killers; the old Mosiac law was prompted by the spirit of revengeful hatred. So long as a habitual killer re­ mains alive, even behind the bars of a prison, society Is threatened with more murders. This has been proven time and time again Piison escapes, prison riots and paroles all have resulted In further violences. Does the slate of Michigan iiave a moral obligation to protect its citizens from double out­ rages of this sort? If not then tlie whole idea of organised society is wrong and we might as well admit that anarchists are right. Our state needs a return of the death penalty to curb capital crime and to help rid itself of habitual killers. GOOD WORK.

Despite a lean agricultural year dtlzens of tills district decided that the advantages of such U school were sufficent to justify further investment. We congratulate these citizens on their progressive spirit. Many of the twentythree who voted against the Issue were staunch friends of the school but advocated a few years delay in bonding. Both in Woodland and at Kellogg the consolidated school won increasing favor in actual trial. No other argument is so convincing. in addition to those he inherited. Possibly Bracket's curiosity is partly to blame. He has been uncovering facto tiiat are disconcerting in certain quar­ ters. irregularities that, to put it mildly, reflect gross inefficiency. Then there has been the difficulties involved in shaving down Michigan's budget to a scale commensurate with the state’s finances. State departments are very human in their desire to economize at the other fellow’s expense. All of this iuy aroused a certain amount of an­ tagonism. "The Boy Scout." hls ene­ mies call him. Lansing Is more Boy Scouts. A POLITICAL RECAST. Each presidential election indicates that the conservative and predominat­ ing elements of the two major political parties are coming closer together In their views. A greater .difference of opinion is now found between major and minor­ ity elements of the Democratic and Republican organizations than between the two parties themselves ' as ex­ pressed by their platform* during the last presidential campaign. Both par­ lies now agree in principal on protec­ tive tariffs, in a strong federal govern­ ment. and private ownership of the in­ dustries. Fundamental differences have disappeared. Only traditional rivalry remains. Thus we believe than any change In the political structure of our country will come from a realignment of similar elements in each party rather than the formation of a strong third party. Aside from providing a workable majority in congress inde­ pendent of insurgent minority balance of-power groups, such a recast might help to break down the last vestiges ot the geographical political division of our country that began before the Civil ' death penalty does not deter,” is simply foolish, reckless assertion. Even thugridden Chicago has proven that In Ito time. Several years ago the Windy City was suffering from *ta murder a day” con­ dition. and there were no executions. Finally two desperadoes were hanged. for a month and only-three In the en­ suing six weeks. Later on the adminis­ tration of justice grew lax and In 1610 there were 334 homicides. Eleven exe­ cutions took place the following year, and the killing record dropped to 190 for twelve months. In 1022 there was only one execution and 228 murders. The operation of the law of cause and lol fewer murders, no executions wild a lol more murders. If there had been 50 or even 25 hangings of Chicago thugs last year in­ stead of six. is It likely that even with the gangsters In the saddle murder would have been a more than every-day occurrence?

Because medical research men entered the fight to find out the CAUSE of such outbreaks. 1 They found that the use of raw milk, not produced under sanitary condi­ tions, was probably more responsible for violent outbreaks than any other one cause.

In the end. these institutions fall of their high purpose because of the control of individual administrative officers Instead of functioning wisely Under boards of control, the peo­ ple will have themselves to blame for it because of the dangerous system which many, If not most, of the slates have established for directing their operations.

It cannot be dlscliarged by any overlord beyond the board of trustees, except to the hurt of the Institution. The problem of the university, therefore. Is to con­ vince the public that the funds pro­ vided by taxation are judiciously, eco­ nomically, and honestly expended— even more ao than any other funds provided for public purposes. University business management Is a profession and. like other university positions, It is fairly permanent. Much more permanent is It than are. or can be. political positions.

We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things "will come out all right anyway." Each year finds us no better 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; with­ out 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 BUSI­ NESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals.

Mr. Hadley concludes with the statement that further test work is being conducted on this problem at the Wisconsin Agricultural Experi­ ment Station, as there are many other thlngk still to be learned about it. It is significant that more cows, as well as more people, have been found to be carriers of the germ than was thought possible Undoubtedly some of these carrier cows are infected with strains of the organism what are ot low vir­ ulence; otherwise we could not account for so many Interepidemic cases* and for so few outbreaks.

We get money and go ahead and spend it, thinking that things "will come out all right anyway." Each year finds us no better 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; with­ out 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 BUSI­ NESS and we take real pleasure in trying to live up to those high ideals. So let us in­ quire if you have ever ASKED YOUR­ SELF these questions. We can HELP YOU get in a better financial condition.

It must be hard enough, when dry, to remain under the pressure of a heavy piece of furniture, without showing a depression. It must be elastic enough to act as a cushion for the pounding of countless foot­ steps, without breaking. It must be tough enough to resist the scraping of moving furniture and it must be unharmed by water—hot or cold. If it has all of these merits and in addition, provides a beautiful finish—then it is a good floor varnish. We offer LOWE BROTHERS NEPTUNITE FLOOR VARNISH—a really good floor varnish.

Even so eminent a surgeon as Dr. Charles Mayo, of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minnesota, took the lead with the City Council of his home city, to compel the Pasteurization of all milk, from all herds, supplying milk to that city. When a man of his standing and scientific training will USE nothing but Pasteur­ ized milk for his great hospitals, it is time for the rest of us to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN. When it comes to a scientific question, few of us would wznt to bank OUR OPINION against his EXPERIENCE and scientific knowledge. Because Milk Is Pasteurized Is No Guarantee That the Milk Is Clean If milk is not properly Pasteurized, or if it is not han­ dled in a sanitary manner, it may lead to trouble. A BACTERIA COUNT WILL TELL THE STORY! Every user of Grade A PaHteurized Milk, or even Grade A Raw Milk from the Highlands Dairy, can be auured of ('LEAN milk of excellent quality, be­ cause no effort is overlooked in our method of clean handling. The State inspector* will accept Grade A Pasteurized Milk that has 25,000 bacteria in a cubic centimeter of milk.. But at the last State Inspec­ tion of Highlands Dairy Grade A Pas■ leurized Milk they found only 400 bac­ teria in a cubic centimeter. In the Highland# Dairy Grade A RAW MILK the State In.sp^ptors found but 7,04$) bacteria in a cubic centi­ meter. This only gota to show what wc are doing to provide the.people of this community with the best and cleanest supply of milk. We charge but 10 CENTS PER QUART. We know of no dairy in Michigan that sells Grade A Pasteurized, or Grade A Raw Milk, at so low ,a price. We Always Recommend Our Grade A Pasteurized Milk Because of its Added Safety, But if You Prefer Our Grade A Raw Milk We Will Supply You The Highlands Dairy ROBERT W. COOK.

Investigate Before You “Sign-Up” With An Out-of-Town Roofer At any time, a stranger, representing an unknown out-of* • town roofing company, may call to talk to you about buying a new roof. He will give you a fast sales talk and try to sign you up at once. DON’T SIGN UP. In fairness to yourself, if you are interested, have him specify the number of squares required to cover your roof, and leave a sample of the shingle or roll roofing he proposes to use. Se­ cure a written bid of his proposal signed by himself and then tell him to come back in a few days. If his proposition will stand investigation he will be glad to do this. Meanwhile secure bids from your local lumber dealer. Nine times out of ten he will give you a better job and better ma­ terial at less than the out-of- town concern. Don’t be “fooled” when he'telhyou his men are “specialists” in applying roofing. Local workmen have applied roofs (in this town for years and if something goes wrong, you don’t have to look fifty miles away for the man who did the work. Some out-of-town froofers have for years been fooling the public by selling them cheap roofs and getting more money than your local dealer asks for a good roof. Before You Buy . Investigate R. C.

One Sure Way to Have Money When You Want It Here is Entrust a part of pour income to the safe-keeping of this old, reliable banking institution so it can’t burn holes in pour pocket It’s always well to have something laid up for a "rainy day." , The "raif^y day" of sickness, adversity, or hard times is pretty sure to come to every man at some time in his life. Too often it comes when advanc­ ing age makes it hardest to meet. Then it is that people give utterance to the vain regret and say, "Oh, if I had only saved my money when I had a chance." You can start saving by depositing a very small amount—only a dollar or two —and add to it as rapidly as possible. You can be assured that when you leave your money here it will be free from every ele­ ment of chance, or speculation, and it r will be available for you any time you wish it. “STEADY SAV­ ING”—putting away a portion of your earnings as fast hs you receive it—will soon put you in possession of a snug sum, and the interest we pay you EVERY SIX MONTHS is just like “finding 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!

Bright, enduring RUSTLESS STEEL is used for many exposed bright metal parts of the Ford WHEN YOU BUY a Ford you buy enduring beauty. The body finish is made to lost for the life of the car and practically all exposed bright meta! ports ex­ cept the bumpers are made of enduring Rustless Steel. Tills Rustless Steel has great tenaHe strength. It is the same bright metal all the way through. A salt test equivalent to forty years’ service under the severest weather conditions failed to have any effect on its brilliance. It never requires polishing. All you do Is wipe it with a damp cloth, os you do your windshield. This is just one of many features that show the substantial worth of the Ford.

ITZ^BAKING IVV POWDER One Sure Way to Have Money When You Want It Entrust a part oj pour income to the safe-keeping of this old, reliable banking institution so it can't burn holes in your pocket 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 1 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 receive it—will soon put you in possession of a snug sum, and the interest we pay you EVERY SIX MONTHS is just like “finding 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!

That’s why it is so easy for them to find even the smallest holes in your screens. Can you afford to try to ’’get by’’ with worn out screens when even one fly can carry enough germs to start an epidemic. The chances that the “eagle eyed’’ fly will not notice those small holes in your screens are too great against you. If you w^nt to take every precaution to keep the filthy things out of YOUR home, replace the worn out screen with new wire, if the frames are sound.

Thia doesn't prove that scouting Is wrong, he added. It simply indicates that the work Is not being developed properly. Boys Join scouting for the. outdoor activities. Mr. Johnston be­ lieves.

Boy* of the scouting age. Mr. John­ ston said, ore natural gangsters. Whether this gang spirit results In good or evil depend* on leadership and influence. If left to themselves or to questionable leadership the gangs develop into nuisances or criminals. A study made In Chicago, he said, indi­ cates the presence of .several hundred boy gangs, many of which arc turning out trained criminals. However. Mr. Johnston added, boy* are not naturally delinquents. The gang spirit can find an outlet In such constructive thing* a* outdoor activi­ ties. camping, hiking, Indian lore/ na­ ture study, etc.. Just as It does in theft, rowdyism or destruction of property. A study of juvenile delinquency, he said. Invariably shows that the percentage runs highest in communities showing the least concern for the leadership of boys. Mr. Johnston further added that the leader* of the Battle Creek area want to do everything they can to help de­ velop the unit* here. The new scout building and the camp near Gull lake will be available to Barry scout* and the Battle Creek executives wish to do everything they can to give the lead­ ers and troopers here the benefit of their experience. After the training sessions, the var­ ious patrols took part In the first com­ petitive contest. After watching the enthusiastic progress of this game, on­ lookers remarked that perhaps the maximum age limit for scouts, now 18. Is apparently far too low. Scouts Ralph Weaver and James Barnum also gave a demonstration of rescue - and first-aid technique for removing and reviving a victim entangled in a Hye wire. Both scouts also passed an Im­ promptu quiz from members of the audience regarding the details of the rescue work and the application of it to other forma of rescue work.

The.se matters were forcefully present­ ed by Mr. Brundage. No single business institution in any town or city is so vital to that tottn as its bank. It takes care ot the idle money of its depositors; sets that money to work so the bank can pay Interest on it to the depositors.

It is reported tliat there are three cases of infantile paralysis in the Livestock Can Be Kept On It During Months When Blue­ grass Stops Growth East Lansing, April 20.—Sudan grass which can be planted late in May and pastured in July, August, and Septem­ ber of tho same year is recommended by Uie crops department at Michigan State College as an emergency pasture crop for those Michigan farmers whose usual pasture fields will not furnish sufficient grass to carry their livestock tills year. Experimental trials with Sudan grass have proved that one acre of it will furnish' feed enough for one cow, and this pasture lx available when blue­ grass ordUuirllly stops growing each year. The trials made by the college with the emergency pasture crop were conducted on the W. K. Kellogg Farm nt Augusta. The crop is seeded at the ratcTif 20 to 25 pounds of seed per acre. An ordinary grain drill set to sow two pecks of wheel per acre will distribute the proper amount of Sudan gross seed. The seed bed should be prepared in the same manner as for small grains. Sudan grass can not be pastured after it has been frosted as it develops a poison which is injurious to livestock. Another source of pasture which can be used by Michigan farmers arc the wheat and rye fields whfbh can be pasI lured until the heads of the grain be•gln to form. The low price of these I crops and the probable high price of forage crops makes it feasible to turn stock on these grains. The College Crops department also recommends the retaining of any meadows which will make a fair crop of hay. Indications point to a short­ age of forage crops In the state. DELTON.

The building is to be erected at a cost of 890X00. one-third of which will be donated by the Kel­ logg Foundation. It will accommodate about 400 pupils and will be modeled after the Kellogg school south of Hick­ ory Comers, which comprises a district made up of former Barry and Kalama­ zoo county district*. .

Armed with tlie proper warrant he arrested Perry English. of Grand Rapids, a man about fifty years and married, who was a brakeman on lhe train which pushed this car onto this siding at Woodbury. It appears that English was a brakeman on this train from Grand Rapids to Lansing. The follow­ ing day he went on the train's return trip from Lansing to Grand Rapid., He remained in Lansing over night every other night. English was ar­ rested on a charge of breaking and entering in the night time. Mrs. Ruth Buck also of Lansing was arrested by Sheriff Leonard, charged with receiving most of the stolen property. The officers who had been on the trail of English claimed to have learned that he and Mrs. Buck had been seen together in Lansing, and that they went together to the home of a man named Surine in that city and ferred to the parent* of the pupil with sold him several dozen eggs from one lhe recommendation that they consult their family doctor or dentist.

Do You Need A New s HERE is no heritage that can equal it. Without it wealth is practically use­ less and "opportunity” is of no value. Many of the possessors of millions of money would gladly give it all back if the good health they lost in accumulating their money cold be restored to them. One of the most pitiful sights of life is to see a bril­ liant mind housed in a weak, frail body. The time to Jay the foundation for good, strong, robust health is in early childhood. Heredity may play its part, but when you fjet right down to brass tacks, we are very argely creatures of ”what we eat.” T a L4 For children and growing youngsters, there is no food that can compare with good, CLEAN, wholesome milk, either in PRICE or FOOD VALUE. Pound for pound it is the lowest priced food your money can buy. But you cannot expect youngsters to de­ velop good healthy bodies and strong physiques if they are given food that is not CLE1AN, because that only means that every day they are swallowing disease or­ ganisms that tend to break down the little bodies that YOU are trying so hard to BUILD UP. Good “CLEAN” Milk Is Nature’s Natural Food ... With Lots of Emphasis On the “CLEAN” We have anticipated your wahts with a brand new stock bigger and better than we have ever carried before. It would give us great pleasure to show our new downstairs carpet and rug room. In it, we have a great big stock Mt prices that will certainly surprise you.

We also carry a handsome line of American Oriental Rugs at prices that you will say are more than reasonable. Before-the-war prices prevail in every department of our store. Even if you do not wish to buy, we earnestly invite you to call and look oyer the stock we' are carrying. You will be surprised. Miller furniture Co. Telephone 2226 Hastings. Mich. OU cannot tell whether milk is CLEAN or not by just LOOKING AT IT—neither can we, nor any­ one elae. There is just ONE way, and ONLY ONE WAY to find out and that ia by an OFFICIAL TEST ■ made under state supervision for the bacteria count. That TEST tells the story beyond any question of doubt. If you are interested in good, CLEAN, quality milk for your children, or for your family, you will be interested in KNOWING that by a recent TEST, made by inspectors from the Michigan Department of Agriculture, the Highlands Dairy Grade A Pas­ teurized milk was proven to be as CLEAN as any Grade A Pasteurized milk produced in this state, or any other. This state permits Grade A Pasteurized milk to be sold that has 25,000 BACTERIA in a cubic centimeter. But an official test of Highlands Dairy ’ Grade A Pasteurized milk, the test being made by state inspectors, showed that It contained ONLY 400 bacteria in a cubic centimeter—or less than ONESIXTIETH of what the state will accept. We could Y talk qur heads off, but we couldn't say anything that should be so convincing as to the CLEANLINESS of Highlands Dairy milk as that TEST proves. The state permits 50,000 bacteria in a cubic centimeter in Grade A RAW milk (not Pasteurized). A teat by Michigan state inspectors showed that Highlands Dairy Grade A RAW milk (not Pasteurized) had only 7,000 bacteria in a cubic centimeter—or LESS than ONE-THIRD as many as are allowed ia Grade A Pasteurized and leas than one-seventh of the 50,­ 000 allowed for Grade A raw milk. You can have your choice of Grade A Pasteurized, or Grade A raw milk at 10 cents per quart or a little LESS THAN 5 CENTS A POUND. We always recommend Grade A Pasteurized because of it* added safety. It costs MORE MONEY to produce CLEAN MILK and will tell you WHY in our adver­ tisement in next week's issue. Bat don't you think that the CLEANLINESS is worth the pricet You are cordially invited to visit our dairy at auy time. Glad to have you.

Since 1912 the Public Health Service has been conducting a campaign * in various section of the United States directed toward the eradication of trachoma. Trachoma sometimes called “granulated eyelids," or "red sore eyes." is an inflammation of the lin­ ing of the eyelids. Trachoma among tlie white population of the United States te not confined to any sharply defined area, but in general te preva­ lent In the states of West Virginia. Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee and Western Virginia. Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. In connection with this work, small hospitals usually located In residences provided by the community have been established in areas where this disease prevails. use them, or they may also get trachoma. 6. Babies may contract trachoma; so be careful in cleaning the baby's eyes to use wash rags that have been boiled. 7. Persons with trachoma should not be exposed to dust. However, If you must work in a dusty place, dust gog­ gles will give you some protection. Wear them only when working tn the dust. 8. Remember that the wearing of dark glasses continuously tends to weaken the eyes. Wear them only when you are In bright sunshine. 9. Glosses will not cure trachoma. Do not let anyone sell you glasses in the hope that they will cure your con­ ।dition. :MINERAL WEALTH OF ALASKA TO BE CHARTED. The most significant effort yet made to determine the mineral values of Alaska will be carried out thte summer by the Department of the Interior. One of the major projects in thte investi­ gation will be an examination of the Anthracite Ridge coal field In the vi­ cinity of the Alaska railroad. Thte will include detailed surface investigations, including test pitting and trenching in the Anthracite Ridge coal field, where there are known veins more than 50 feet thick, subsurface core drilling and investigations in the Anthracite Ridge coal field, entailing about 4.000 feet of core drilling. Examinations of reported new prospects and re-examinations of nonmineral bearing areas with spe­ cial reference to quantitative deter­ mination of possible mineral tonnage and the assembly of and recording of all known mines and prospects within the railroad belt- will be carried out. ward eradicating the condition, but there are yet many cases of trachoma, particularly in the mountainous areas of the country that require treatment. A statement recently Issued by the Public Health Service. "Advice to Per­ sons with Trachoma." is given os fol­ lows: • 1. Place yourself under treatment by a reputable physician without delay— a specialist If possible. Continue treat­ ment until the physician dismisses you. 2. Do not be discouraged If your doc­ tor falls to cure you in a few weeks. Many cases of trachoma reqlure treat­ ment off and on for two or three years. 3. Keep your face clean, especially about eyes. 4. Have clean handkerchiefs or clean cloths to wipe your eyes with. See that they are boiled or burned aftenuse. 5.

This compares with $9,28031. which was the first payment made last year in May. The total receipts by the county last year from these two sources amounted to a little over $56,000. All of this has to be used for road maintenance, ac­ cording to state law. The county road commission had a good fund on hand last October when the apportionment was made, so did not ask for any money from the sup­ ervisors. Tiie winter was not a serious one for road maintenance, and it is hoped that the county may save enough out of Its receipts this year so that It can resurface with Tarmac or I other material ten miles more of coun­ ty roads. ! There can be no doubt that Barry county's road maintenance problem . would be greatly simplified if the coun;ty highways could ¥11 be covered with I this black top. Ingham and Van Buren counties have definitely entered upon a program of black topping all county roads, so as to save maintenance costs, luive the roads dustless as well as make a fine Improvement upon the highways themselves.

IT’S TIME TO CHANGE. In a talk given nt the University of I Michigan President James II Angell. 1 of Yale University, a son of Dr. Angell who was for so many years president of Michigan University, touched upon a matter that Is of vital interest, we think, to the people of this state and country. There can be no doubt of the value | of specialists in certain lines of pro­ fessional work. But "specializing" has been carried so far. particularly in the medical profession, as to make people uneasy about the future, as President Angell said. Tiie devotion of so many medical students to some specially will inevitably lend to a dearth of allaiound practitioners who are so csscntial to the welfare of smaller commitnitles. and even clilra of considerable size. It Oils thing proceeds, as it now seems to be going, this lack of general f practitioners who have given such1 splendid service in the past, wifi create' a real hardship, will open wide the' gates for. and will be nothing short of an invltaUon to. quackery tn dealing with common ailments. We think it is high time that this craw for "specializing" shall end. Not I that there shall not be medical specialtets In the future as there have been in | the past, but that the aim of the ma- I Jorily of those who attend medical col­ leges shall be to enter the general I pracUce instead of specializing on a few diseases or on some particular parts of the human body, refusing to I Ihave anything to do with theh general ; practice of medicine.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIRE One of the best pieces of constructive legislation proposed to date is now be­ fore the state House of Representa­ tives. This Is the Culver Bill. No. 298. that would permit twenty-five per cent of the taxpayers In any local subdivision of government within Michigan to pro­ test any public Improvement ex]>enditurc to the state treasurer, auditor general and attorney general as a board of review; It further provides Hutt an indebtedness in excess of ten per cent of assessed valuation In any subdivision pf government or a tax delinquency In any subdivision of more than twenty-five per cent will auto­ matically bring proposed expenditures before this board for review. We believe for the sake of good management It Is highly Important that taxpayers should have this appelate provision for theft protection. This system has been used with great saving in Indiana. This measure opens the way for the Hie people themselves to check reckless expenditures effectively and quickly. We are for It. Present climatic indications point to another dry summer. At present this section of the state Is about thirteen Inches behind the usual amount of rainfall. Last summer Barry county came through a drought with surpris­ ingly small loss by fire.

If asked for the name of the oldest town In the United 8tatea most people would answer either B-. Augustine. Fla-, or Bante Fe, New Mexico, had that distinction. But Louis H. Warner. Clialrman of the Pueblo Lands Board, writes in the current Issue of the Na­ tional Republic that the distinction should go to the Indian village Acoma. It is located near the famous "En­ chanted Mesa" and has never been moved since the beginning which is shrouded in tradition. Writing on thia interesting village. Mr. Warner.says: ■ "Leas than a half century after Co­ lumbus discovered America, the Span­ ish were exploring Hie pueblo area. After Zunl came Acoma. From 1540 on. its doings are a matter of history. Prior to Quit date, we have to rely on tradition. In the early days, many In­ dian village* were built on inaccessible means. Others situate in the low lands along the river courses were readily ac­ cessible to mountain retreats to which they could quickly go in time of stress. As time went on. most of tiiese villages on Hk high ground were abandoned. Raids were less frequent and protec­ tion more stable. However, there was one outstanding exception. Acoma alone throughout its known history has continued on the mesa top. To be sure, maipr Acomans today live and cultivate their fields along Hie Ban Jose River to the north but Hte headquarters, the county seat as it were is still on the penol of the souU> end of Ute mesa near the south boundary of the grant. Therefore. I claim for Acoma the longest continued habitation of one Iteople upon one spot to be found in | Ulla country. Other pueblos have been and are now practically on the same ground that they were when the Spanish came. But in each anti every case there is a break, a shifting of lo­ cation which severs the cltaln of con­ tinuity. So let St. Augustine, Tucson and Santa Fe withdraw. There is another disUncUon. This continually occupied citadel of the sky was for a long time established before even the Spanish heard of It. Appear­ ance and tradition are our authority. But there is still more. A few miles, three to be exact, to the east and south looms the Enclianted Mesa. Il too had been previously occupied and without doubt by the same people. When the change came, from one mesa top to the other, not even tradition can tell. But It was no doubt long before the days of Columbus. "But to go back. Spanish soldiers first saw Acoma in 1540. In 1599. be­ cause of certain infractions a sortie was made upon this Gibraltar of the plains. By almost superhuman effort a small part of Spanish soldiery, by a devious route, had gained the top.

The Co-op must accomplish one of two things, or both, in order to have a right lo exist. Il must either cut the coat ot marketing or stabilise the mar­ kets of the country. Mr. Beamer showed where it ho gone a long way with the flrat and presented a plan whereby the second requirement could be put in force. He said that steblllratlon of market depends on volume of stock handled by one selling concern. He stated that twelve packers buy 78 per cent of the livestock in United States markets and that there are 120 commission firms in Detroit alone sell­ ing this stock, thus giving thc buyer the advantage in bargaining power. The plan culls for the elimination of a lot of sellers and the creation ot a lies board in the producer orgardzaon. Thc Co-op selling agencies In the United Spites arc now gctUng 11 per cent of the businers. They want 40 per cent to realize their program. They had a gain of 5 per cent last year and look lor an even greater gain this year, due tr the large shipments from west­ ern producers which they have not re­ ceived In past years. In his closing words Mr. Beamer gave a real appeal for co-operation among farmers, as it Is the only way they can come out as far as he secs Co-operation in buying, producing and marketing—raise their bargaining power with quantity of produce in one organization. Mr. O. B. Price, agricultural agent of Use Michigan Central railroad, gave n short talk on transportation east and '.rinds and market tours. Mi.

A man belter fitted to address a group of men on livestock marketing could not be found In the United States. In Mr. Beamer's opening remarks he stressed the point that cooperation must begin at home.

HALL South Jefferson St. Hastings, Michigan POTATOES GROW BEST IF PLANTED CLOSELY Wide Distance Between Flants Causes Hollow Heart and . Oversise Tubers Close spacing of seed pieces In plant­ ing potatoes will reduce the percentage of hollow and oversize potatoes and will Increase the total yield in seasons of normal rainfall. Is the statement made by the farm crops department at Michigan State College after years of testing the effects of planting dh- Tl>e use of plenty of seed planted 13 to 18 inches apart in the row £» one of the means that the College department recommends for improving the quality of Michigan potaloes, which have been discriminated against In some of the terminal markets. Consumers do not give repeat orders for table stock po­ tatoes which show a high percentage of hollow heart. Two years' tests of the effect of close planting in seasons of normal rainfall, show that potatoes planted 18 Inches apart outyielded those planted 38 Inches apart by 47 bushels per acre and that the percentage of hollow potatoes was reduced from 16 per cent to 3 6*per cent. Trials made of the effect of fertilisers upon the yield of U. S. No. 1 grade po­ tatoes show that, during the four years 1927 to 1930. the College plots produced 30 bushels more of the No. 1 grade on the fertilized areas than on the unfer­ tilized. The application used in these tests was 500 pounds of 4-16-8. Nashville W. L. C. Visited Barry County Farm Home —Gave Program There The Nashville Women's Literary club sponsored a program which was given at the Barry county home one week ago Bunday. The following account of it as taken from the Nashville News will be of general interest. The program given at the Barry County Farm Sunday afternoon, sponsored by the Woman's Literary club and arranged by the following committee: Mrs. Floyd Everts, Mrs. Will Gibson and Mrs. Coy Brumm, was much appreciated by the inmates judging from the applause given and the kindly remarks by Mr. and Mrs. Abbey, keepers at the Home, who are lo be sincerely congratulated upon the fine manner in whlah the Home is kept and the cordial hospitality with which the guests were received. Barry county is performing a won­ derful work by providing such a comfortable home for its dependents, who fully appreciate Ils comforts to the extent that they do not hesitate tn saying that "It is the best home I've ever had." or as one man said. “We have all we can cat. a nice clean comfortable bed. and kindly treatment, so what more could any one ask7“ Which shows their kindly feel­ ing towards their managers. The program was announced by Mrs. Everts, the chairman, who introduced the entertainers. Everyone was espe­ cially Invited to join In singing some old familiar tunes, led by Elwyn Nash and Donald Waldron, and many there were In the audience who did not re­ member the words but sang the tunes. The flrat number was "Little Brown Church in the Vale," followed by in­ troductory remarks by the club presi­ dent. Mrs. Franz Maurer. An instru­ mental selection by Elizabeth Gibson followed. A reading. “Foolish Ques­ tions." waa given by Vivian Appelman. and a vocal duet, “Massa's in the Cold. Cold Ground." by Harold Wenger and William couch, with Miss Patricia McNitt as accompanist. Another reading. "Junior at the Dinner Party,” by Mrs. Franz Maurer, was followed by a duet for violin and comet, “Onward Christlan Soldiers." by Paul and Lee Well, with Eizabeth Gibson as accompanist. $ Dollar Day Specials $ - Meyer’s 5c & 10c Store Here ie a Factory CloeeOut for Dollar Daye Only Regular $1.00 Each LACE CURTAIN PANELS 2 for $1 We Are Over StochelOn Thit Item 50c to |1.00 - Values In Glass 10c CHOCOLATES Thie Will Be the Beet Special In Town Ladies’ : Rayon Underwear Heavy 12 qt.

This is far from the general way— Success is usually a process of growth. The beaver, with his tiny little teeth, gnaws and gnaws until he fells the giant ' treefc This is all done with one tiny little jbite, then another and another, until his great work is accomplished. The moral is to MAKE EVERY BITE COUNT—just as in your struggle for finan­ cial 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 Accdunt, and we offer de­ positors every accommodation consistent with safe, sound banking principles. Suc­ cess doesn't “come to you." * You must “reach for it." All it requires is a little more effort and a little more care, and you have it. In the history of this Bank we have start­ ed many young men and young women on the road to Success by their opening a bank account with us. May we not be of help to you in the same way? Hastings Bank The Only National Bank in Barry County Then came more community singing. "Abide With Me." . Remarks by Mr. Abbey expressed the desire that the home be furnished a chapel in which to hold such gather­ ings as are given from time to time by the people of the county. It need not be expensive, perhaps not more than 10c for each taxpayer, and such a place could be easily furnished with the furniture found in the abandoned churches in the county. Why not get together and forward such a move­ ment? Thc Home is quite sufficiently largo for private use, but contains no room adequate to hold all the inmates, together with those who would enter­ tain them. It could also serve as a funeral home. Two or three times a month service* and entertainment* are brought to them, which requires much work by compelling them to gather the chairs from all over the building and again replacing them. It would be a noble work for the var­ ious clube'of Barry county to sponsor such a program. We did os much for Pennock hospital, a county Institution, and why not for the Home? At the dose of Mr. Abbey's remarks, all joined In singing Till We Meet Again." after which each inmate was given a sack lunch consisting of ba­ nanas. cookies and cup cakes furnished by Nashville club members. The group of twenty-one members and friends who attended, spent a very pleasant and profltable afternoon. DOWLING. Mothers' Day will be observed next Sunday, May 10. at the 11:30 A.

T^eAfeivOLDSMOBI LE HAS FINER BODIES INCREASED POWER one/ Farm all Savings Investment Plan This New Plan Lets Every Responsible Com Grower Pay for His Farmall with Just a Part of the Savings the Farmall Will Make ABUNDANT evidence in the form of actual cogt records proves that farmers using Farmall tractors and full Farmall equipment are pro­ ducing corn for from one-half to one-third the government average for farms with simi­ lar yields, the average saving amounting to 27,/t cents a bushel. We arc so confident that thc majority of farmers can get proportionate results with the Farmall that we are announcing the FARMALL SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN, under which responsible farmers can purchase a Farmall and Farmall equipment now and meet the first payment this fall with just a part of the savings made possible by the new equip­ ment in the production of their corn crop— with two more years to pay the balance. Here is an opportunity for you to take advantage of Farmall savings during the bal-' ance of the com growing and harvesting sea­ son—planting from 20 to 45 acres a day and cultivating 30 to 65 acres a day with 2- or 4-row equipment—and be ready next year to make the maximum saving throughout the entire year. And don't overlook the extra sav­ ings you will make in the handling of your hay, grain, and all other crops requiring power. Every one of these jobs can be done faster and at lower-costs with a Farmall and Farmall equipment, effecting substantial savings on every crop, yet all you pay is part of the sav­ ings made on the corn alone as a first pay­ ment this fall. See your McCormick-Deering dealer for full details of the FARMALL SAVINGS IN­ VESTMENT PLAN. A convincing demonstra­ tion of the Farmall and seasonable equipment will be made on your own farm on request.

Resident deer licenses for residents of Michigan will be Increased from 8250 to 83.50. as provided by the The purjxue of this increase Is to proride funds so that the state depart­ ment of conservation can buy lands in northern Michigan, where the cost is very little, and set them aside for game preserves, which will be open to all the people of the state during the season. So much of the cheap land, which would make good hunting ground, is being snapped up by wealthy men from the big cities that the ordinary hunter will soon rtsvc little chance unless the state shajl be in a position to furnish it by buying and maintaining such lands for game preserves for lhe people of Michigan. The plan is for the state to reforest such lands, stock them with game and give the hunters of this state an opportunity for real hunting.

E. Waters & Son "The Better Store for Men ” HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT MILK Every Housewife Should Know About can get it The "bacteria count” in milk determines the relative degree of its cleanliness, so the state divided milk into various grades, decreeing that Pasteurized milk could not be sold as Grade A Pas­ teurized if it had a bacteria count of over 25,000 to a cubic centimeter; and raw milk could not be sold as Grade A raw milk if it had over SO,000 bacteria in a cubic centimeter. In the other grades a very much higher "bacteria count” is permitted, but we will not specify them, because Highlands Dairy pro­ duces only Grade A Pasteurized milk and its‘Grade showed that Highlands Dairy Grade A Pasteurized milk had a "bacteria count” of ONLY 400 in a cubic centimeter of milk—Uss than ONE-SIXTIETH of the limit of 25,000 set by the state. Our Grade A raw milk had a “bacteria.count” of only 7,000 in a cubic centimeter—or leu than ONE-SEVENTH of the lim­ it of 50,000 set by the state. No dairy in the stale that we know of produces milk with a lower "bac­ teria count” for these two grades. You Should Be Interested In the Low Bacteria Count of Highlands Dairy Milk! why? ra.w milk—but the bam and milkhouse must be up to state requirements, must be kept clean, and the milk MUST COME UP TO THE STATE’S RE­ QUIREMENTS, which we have named above. That is where the "h;tch” comes. It means the. practical reconstruction of dairy barns, the installation of the latest ventilating system that will completely change the air every few minutes; putting in individual drinking fountains for each milch cow; getting the best sanitary stanchions; an electric milking ma­ chine; electrically controlled coolers; an ice-making machine; a complete equipment for Pasteurizing; more help, etc. It costs a lot more money to produce Grade A Pasteurized milk or Grade A raw milk, but by producing it in the quantity we do we sell it for only 10 cents a quart—the price usually charged for ordinary raw milk. We ALWAYS recommend the Grade 'A Pasteur­ ized because of its added "safety.” It’s better to he safe than sorry. When you use it in your homo you can KNOW that it is CLEAN, safe and of ezcollent sure you thqt you will be welcome. THE HIGHLANDS DAIRY TELEPHONE 2651 HASTINGS, MICHIGAN ROBT. W.

They arrived in Detroit Sunday from some 28 Michigan counties on the Michigan Potato Market tour. Will Compare Products. Monday they will Inspect the Detroit Union Produce terminal and sec for themselves just how Michigan potatlcs compare with those from other sections, particularly the ones from Idaho and Maine. The tour is the first attempt to im­ press Michigan farmers with the im­ portance of putting lhe potato crop on a business-like basis and is sponsored by thc terminal, Michigan State col­ lege. thc Wabash and Ann Arbor rail­ roads. the state department of agri­ culture. the Michigan Potato Growers' exchange and the Michigan Potato Shippers* Association. . Over a period of years. Michigan's potato crop has averaged 122.000.000 a year. Last year It fell of! to >12,000,0000. "Maine and Idaho get a yield of 200 bushels to the acre," Ross Sllket, crop specialist of the Wabash and Ann Ar­ bor railroads, explained, "and Michi­ gan's runs about 117 bushels. That makes it possible for other potato­ growers to pay freight costs and still undersell Michigan potatoes. Need Re-Equipment "The trouble with the Michigan fanners is that they are trying to com­ pete with a highly organized system of farming with their own little threeacre patches of potatoes. They go out fighting bugs with whisk brooms and work the whole family IO death to cul­ tivate the potatoes. Potato farming needs reequipping and reorganization on a larger scale.” There is an Ironic angle in the de­ cline of the Michigan spud. Ten years ago the state was thc outstanding po­ tato section of the country and the growers, with the aid of the state agri cultural department, developed the quality of potatoes through certified seeding. These top quality potatoes were taken up by growers in other sec­ tions and developed there so that the descendanta of those early tubers are now competing with the Michigan varieties which have been allowed to go back In quality.—Detroit Free Press. KEEP WAGE SCALE UP IS FORD POLICY Company Permits No Deflation of Labor By Itself or Sup­ ply Concerns In commenting on the steps that various industrial leaders In the United States have taken to assist their em­ ployees during the depression. The Wall Street Journal recently made the fol­ lowing comments concerning the Ford Motor Company of Michigan: "There will be no deflation of labor by the Ford Motor Co. as an aftermath to the depression, nor are there likely to be any wage cuts by the 3.500 manu­ facturing concerns which are constant­ ly employed on Ford work. There is no telling how far the Ford Influence for the maintenance of high wages will ex­ tend. but at least It will encompass the manufacturing concerns on the Ford Company's list of suppliers. s"Henry Ford absolutely refuses to consider or condone wage reductions. He believes that If the general level of wages were reduced It would take labor 20 years to get back. To prevent wage cuts on Ford work lhe Ford Motor Co. makes periodical inspection of its sup­ ply companies. Instances are rare where a purveyor has been willing to Jeopardize the Ford account for the benefit that might be derived from a wage reduction. "Ford already has spent a million dollars on tils experimental farm, de­ voted to-discovering new uses for ag­ ricultural products and which will pro­ vide work for a considerable number of employees during slack summer months. This development Is just get­ ting under way and is expected to take >5,000,000 before It Is fully completed. Then there is the Ford Trade School where the students are paid while they "Little is heard of Ford charities though they amount to several hun­ dred thousand dollars annually. Pos­ sibly this is because it is generally known that Ford believes tn providing jobs rather than soup kitchens as an aid to the unemployed. In his opinion, the strong cash reserves of the Ford Motor Co. are a social asset, an assur­ ance of more stable employment. "The Ford company contributed to unemployment relief during the moat distressing winter months by operating at a higher rate than was necessary at the time, building up a reserve of mo­ tors and parts. This reserve is now about depleted. "Another humanitarian phase of the Ford operations is the home work pro­ vided for needy widows. When Henry Ford heard that widows of former Ford employes found it necessary to leave children at home in order to work out. he caused a department to be created Tor providing such cases with the type of work that could be done in the home. A fleet of trucks each day de­ livers materials to such homes and picks up the completed work. Your Financial Success May Be Assured If You Will Acquire Habits of Thrift and Economy Dur­ ing the Earning Period of Your Life • Many people seem .to expect success to come "all at once" and in some mysterious way. This is far from the general way— Success is usually a process of growth. The beaver, with his tiny little teeth, gnaws and gnaws until he fells the giant free. This is all done with one tiny little Ipite, then another and another, until his great work is accomplished. The moral is to MAKE EVERY BITE COUNT—just as in your struggle for finan­ cial 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 de­ positors every accommodation consistent with safe, sound banking principles. Suc­ cess doesn’t "come to you." You must "reach for it." All it requires is a little more effort and a little more care, and you have it. In the history of this Bank we have start­ ed many young men and young women on the road to Success by their opening a bank account with us. May we not be of help to you in the tame way? .

In these days of lower price* for all farm products, there Is still a premium be­ ing paid for quality and the grower must do what he can to acquire this premium. The buck lamb is out of date, he 13 out of fashion and he Is rapidly disap­ pearing on modern Michigan farms. He Is an Individual that grows In the wrong direction and the body of this lamb occupies too much space for the weight it contains. The buck lamb docs not conform to the market stan­ dard. that 13. the concentraUon of a suitable weight In a short, wide and compact carcass. Produce the desired market class, it brings higher returns. Meat packers state that choice trim-1 med lambs will dress fully 2 per cent more than mixed lambs of the same quality. In other words It means a loss of dollars to thc man who does not dock and castrate his Iambs. Those who justify their carelessness by fear of loss of weight or loss by death through trimming their lambs failed either to try lhe right method or more than likely have not tried at al). Instead of complaining about your bad luck when your lambs sell, remember that you arc responsible for your own lamb luck. ■ t Barry county sheep breeders arc mak­ ing an effort to do away with the • Bucky” lamb. Give them your sup­ port by trimming this year. DESTROY CANADA THISTLE. To destroy Canada thistle, one of lhe worst farm weeds in thc north, the U. S. Department of Agriculture recommends heavy shade crops such as alfalfa, clean cultivation of row crops, and in extreme cases continual culti­ vation of idle, Infested land. The first very small patches that appear on a farm may be smothered by covering them for n year with old Un rooting, roofing paper, or similar material fastened' down to exclude light com­ pletely. The spread of thistle. plants may be prevented by . cutUng them, preferably below the surface, about lhe time the first thistle flowers ap­ pear an^ at required intervals there­ after to prevent seed ripening.

DOWN HBH OLD WATER. �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, MAT H, ill Mu II Al Young Al Hit Bodily Content of Chlorophyl There ii no mathematical relation between a man's yean and his bodily contents of Chlorophyl, “the carrier for the red blood corpuscle." Chlorophyl diminishes with age, at­ tended with physical weakness, do­ ziness. rheumatism, and senility. DR. BURNHAM'S SAN-YAK PILLS are the only prescription recommended to add Chlorophyl to the blood. The bodily content of calcium (lime) in­ creases with yean, attended with hardening ot the walla, tube mesh and filtering tubes ot the kidneys, with high blood pressure, paralysis and tumor. Bo, if you desire good health. just use them. They lend thc best care to the kidneys, liver and stomach. Recommended to re­ lievo high blood pressure quickly. SAN YAK PILLS are recommend­ ed as lhe only vegetable antiseptic laxative to tiie colon, from which 96 per cent of all diseases arise. One physician, Dr. Jensen, on the health board of Michigan, says: “Ban Yak Pills arc the best medi­ cation to prevent disease." Dr. C. O. Sherwood says ju; has prescribed Ban-Yak for more than 16 yean, with wonderful auedeaa, and Dr. L. P. Bailey, of Michigan, says of San­ Yak: “It will do ail you claim. It is fine medicine for the blood, and lias cured rheumatism of long standing.'* When one treats the kidneys with Ban-Yak. he is renewing lire whole body. One can always depend on San-Yak.

State Street MARKS ROAD LANES TO ASSIST OR VERS (Continued from |>ago one) but wishing to cross Oreen Street or to turn left onto Green Street should keep to lhe center lane and come to a stop to give preference to vehicles coming eastward down M-43. ' Those driving eastward along Green Street on M-43 have full right of way at the Broadway-Green Street inter­ section If they wish to turn left onto Broadway dofcn M-43; those who wish to continue eastward across Broadway at this point however, or to turn right on Broadway toward the High school, must observe lhe ordinary rule of the road to give preference to the driver on the right. Those driving northward along Broadway must crime to a full Mop at the Broadway-Green Street intersec­ tion to give preference to traffic com­ ing eastward on M-43 or westward on Oreen street above the intersection. Those driving westward on Green Street should come to a full stop nt the Broadway-Green Street intersec­ tion to give preference to all traffic except that driving northward on Broadway. Mr. Sigler further explained that right of way only indicated which car has preference in event both cars reach the intersection simultaneously; it does not mean .that a car coming at a high rate of speed several hundred feel from the intersection has a right of way over a car that is already at the Intersection.' even though the speeding car may reach the center of the intersection at about the same time as the car already al the edge of the intersection. The lanes. Mr. Johnson said, are be­ ing marked to serve as guides for driv­ ers. The traffic situation is more com­ plicated than usual at the Broadway­ Green Street intersection, he said, and even those having right of way should for the sake of accident prevention be particularly careful to-be ready for a quick stop. Haatinga, Michigan WASHER SALES SHOW BUSINESS REVIVAL "An increase in washer sales means an Improvement in employment condi­ tions." declares President E. H- May­ tag of The Maytag Company. Newton. “Washer* are purchased largely by laboring classes, and I consider our business even a better barometer of conditions than lhe so-called basic in­ dustries. Employment gives tiw masses money with which to make purchases It is such purchases that promote high sales levels. Our April sales.’’ continued Mr. Maytag, "exceeded the average of the first five months of 1030. and they were not from Isolated sections of the coun­ try. but from all sections. This Indi­ cates that the business Improvement is not local but general.

The appropriation of any amount in ex­ cess of what the state donates will rest with Ute board of supervisors, who can also decide what amount the township must pay. if the Improvement 13 made, but the township cannot be taxed for highway purposes in excess of what the new law provides. The county, having far better ma­ chinery capable of doing much better work as well as much more work.-can undoubtedly make better roads, and keep them in better repair than the townships have been able to do. But it is not expected that the townships will be entirely free from township highway taxes. They will be reduced no doubt from what they have been, because of state aid, and undoubtedly much better road work will be done by the county than would be possible by the township. Townships like Prairieville and some others will undoubtedly vote certain sums to be expended in improving townsliip highways, so that they can become parts of the county system, the county furnishing the plans and do­ ing the work. Unquestionably the re­ sult of this action by the legislature will be that we will have better town­ ship highways. door of lhe sheriff's house. On opening the door there api>cared a man who looked in lhe last stages of sliabblness —had an old. badly-worn suit of over­ alls. worn B V. D.'s and a frayed Jacket. He told a very lurid story. He said tiiat he had worked for several years for A. E. Hundred of Goshen. Indiana, who is very wealthy and has a country-wide reputation os a de­ veloper of new varieties of gladioli. The visitor claimed that this spring his wages had been cut so low that it was hard for him to maintain himself and family, so he decided to go to South Haven. Michigan, where he had a friend named Davis and see If he could not obtain work there. He said he drove to South Haven in his car and found no chance for employment no started for home. He stated that when a sliort distance out of Decatur. Michigan, four fel­ lows. who had a Nash car stopped him. He left his own oar by the roadside The quartette kidnapped him. he said He gave Ills own name os Charles Trimmer. He claimed that one of the quartette asked him if he had not been employed on the Hundred flower ranch. He admitted that he had worked there for some time. They then said that he was Just the man they were looking for. as they wanted him to go with them to Goshen. Indiana, where they would kidnap Hundred's grandson. Bobble, when lie was on his way to school and hold him for ransom. He said they promised him *3.000 00. He asserted that he was very indig­ nant over thjs proposal and proposed to get out of the car; but one of them cracked him over lhe head and lhe though he did not know the town when he first arrived there. He said three of something to eat. leaving lhe fourth to guard him. Tills man. he said, fell asleep and that gave him. Trimmer, a chance to open the car door and make his escape. His first thought, he said, was to save little Bobbie, so he called up Kundred by phone, telling him that he had been abducted and had been held by four men who were determined to kid­ nap Bobble. He urged Mr. Hundred to be on his guard. Having done this praiseworthy deed, he started .to walk south from Marshall towards Goshen. On the way he was overtaken by Die same Nosh car with the same four fellows Ih it. They picked him up again and carted him a few miles south where, he claims, they stopped at a va­ cant house, put him Inside with an armed guard to watch him. He said they boarded up lhe windows so he could not see. did all sorts of things and gave him insufficient food. He be­ came desperate over this situation. Notlcing that Lee. which was lhe name of the guard, was not watching him. he picked Up a three cornered stool and cracked that worthy over the head, felling him and he was quite sure he must be dead. He said he ran away from the vacant house and the next he knew he had gotten onto a paved road. along which he walked for some time, then got off on a gravel road and wound up on M-37. Trimmer stated that some kindhearted motorist came along about this time and drove him nearly to Hastings; but Just south of town this man turned off on a side road towards the camp ground, and he hoofed his way in. first getting off on a dirt road then getting back on the pavement. Finally he left one pavement and soon got to another an<L-Found up al the Jail, claiming to be very hungry. Quite evidently he was. for he stowed away quantities of food which Officer Green brought to him. . Yesterday morning someone tele­ phoned the Jail that there was an empty Maxwell coupe near Pierce's planing mill on East Green street. One of the Sheriff's officers went lo see what he could find In the empty car. which had an Indiana license. In the car he found a pocketbook with no money, but an Indiana driver's license. In lhe car was also an ownership cer­ tificate, showing that one Charles Trimmer had acquired this car from a dealer a few miles from Goshen on May 7. Both hind tires Were flat.

In Detroit and else­ where. this notary fee Is 25 cents, 1bringing Um* total cost of the license This extra charge has been added by local officials without any consultation with the Secretary of State's office. The notary fee goes to the local gov­ ernment unit, not to Ute state. So far as I know, there Is nothing to prevent local officials from adding a notarv fee If they wish to do so, but I am sorry that any motorist is being obliged to pay a cent more than tlie *1 provided by the statute. The Legislature directed that 15 ■cents of each dollar "collected for a 1driver's license be returned to the city ■or county to recompense it for the work of Issuance.

THE WHIPPING POST BILL. Our state Judiciary committee did well to kill the proposed whipping post bill. Tlie measure was not sufficiently severe to cow wrong-doers of lhe more vicious type—its intended pur­ pose.

The** mallards, which were raised at tlie.. Mason game form last year, were liberated at Tawas. St. Clair end Houghton Lake*, and at several small lakes in the Iosco, Gladwin and Oge­ maw State Game Refuges. Other lot* were released at state dedicated wild life sanctuaries, including the one at Manistee, consisting of more than 1.000 acre* along the Manistee river. No mallards were llberted thi* year at the Munuscong Waterfowl Refuge, for "new" birds would complicate the "checkup" a* to the success of previous releases In these marshes. It 1* hoped that the restocking ex­ periments will show whether IL is practical to try to re-establish the mallard as a breeding species by this method at the many Inland lakes where these duck* are now absent dur­ ing the breeding season, but where conditions are apparently suitable for them to t)oM successfully.

These park*, opened 15 days earlier than last year, together with the 20 which were open throughout lhe year, make a total of 46 parks open to the public this year. Michigan can be Justly proud of her State Park*. These, together with thmany county tourists camps located about the state, offer a big inducement to tourists from out of the slate and bring no little amount ol praise from visitors from neighboring states. An Opinion of the Hunting Fee Boost A TRUE STORY. Theodore Knopf, in charge of agri­ cultural studies at lhe Hasting* High school, isn't *o sure that frog* arc lhe easy-going, mild-mannered croakers they're supposed lo be. On a specimen-hunting expedition to the fluh-hatchery grounds last week. Mr. Knopf and several of his pupil* returned with two enormous frogs, each of whJeh measured about six inches In length, unextended. These were placed in a glaos aquanum to­ gether with several gold fish, two little water snakes, a salamander and two fingerlings about four Inches long. Mr Knopf thought that this group should get along in harmony—and undoubt­ edly It did from the standpoint of the For when Mr Knopf viewed the col­ lection a few day* later he found that of all the original specimens, only two frogs (puffy and contented looking) and one gold fish remained. Since a weighted glass plate on top of the aquarium made escape of the creatures impossible, the conclusion seemed ob­ vious. The two frogs had become a bit hungry and. since nothing else was available, decided to make lhe beat of the situation. Just what whim prompt­ ed the pair to overlook the one re­ maining gold flail. Mr. Knopf t* not prepared to say. Therefore mothers of thi* commun­ ity. before you allow your little one* to disport themselves along the banks of sluggish stream*, make certain that no voracious bullfrogs are lurking in the tall grass hearby. ■ At the Library GARDENING BOOKS Following is a list of new books now available at the library: (to M per cent. । Company.

BANNER GAVE FACTS AS REPORTED HERE (Continued from page one) ' 1told how he had acquired the stock but that as yet he had not received it, al­ jthough he had lurried over to the “slicker*** 17.000 ot building and loan 'stock. Mr. Kennedy became suspic­ ious and asked to sec the record of the transaction. The victim gave him a chance to do so. Tom Immediately scented 1 a "skin" game and took Uic matter up with his company, who 1promptly reported Hie facts to Burris 1and Co . who sent another represen­ 1tative here. He got In touch with the State Securities Commission, also took up the matter with the broker in De­ 1 Jtroit who handled the transfer for the "slickers.*' As a result of the square dealing of the K. J. Heinzelman Co.. , Burris and Co., also the Securities Commission and Attorney Sigler, the latter representing the victim, this local man owe* the Jact that he is now in possession of 1000 shares of Corporate Trust Shares. No reader ought to derive from what wc said last week or from this article any Idea that Corporate Trust Shaye* Co. Is anything but a square-dealing sponsible for thc fact that the "slick­ ers" sold these shares at more than their market value to the local man. The "slickers'' did not represent the Corporate Trust Shares Co. in any manner. The only way they could get the shares was to convert into cash the* building and loan stock which had been turned over to them, which they did in Detroit. That was easy to do and then, through a broker, they bought the Corporate Trust Sharts stock at thc market price which was lower than they had efiarged the local man. A Mr. Butterfield, representing Bur­ ris and Co., who are the sponsors of Corporate Trust Shares, together with Mr. Kennedy made tlie discovery that a deal had been put over on one of our good citizens. Il was through their efforts that further investigation was made Iminedlolely by the Securities Commission. The Banner is glad to moke this statement and to do Justice to all tlie parties concerned.

Studies have been made covering the average annual earning* for groups with and without college training, and DELTON CIIUF.CII NOTES the findings support conclusively thc fact that adequate educational train­ ing pay*.

In this field there is lhe advantage of definite measurements of ability and service. On this basis commercial lead­ ership cannot be said to be high. It vvould seem therefore that the school executive's remuneration is low. It is low in the first place because educational leadership cannot be re­ duced to the mrasuring rod of tangible profits and dividends, and in the sec­ ond place because there has been groui>ed around the Educator the at­ mosphere of sacrificial service.

Every Day Brings Us Just That Much Nearer To-the Time When We Must QUIT When We Are Young, Strong and Full of Life, That Thought Doesn’t Make Any Great Impression On Us. Young people today should consider these things — and many of them do. But too many have fallen into the habit of spending their money just as fast as they make it—and in too many instances just a little faster. Sooner than they now think, they will be facing the situation of “Old Age” with no provision made to meet it. Without needed funds and un­ able to work, the prospect will not be bright. AH forms, of pleasures and recreations have a strong ap­ peal to us in the days of our youth and young manhood— and it is natural that it should be so. As a result, no prepara­ tion is made to meet the days of sickness — and they will come. No consideration is given to the days of unemploi ment—and they will come, h thought is given to the time when old age will compel ces­ sation from toil—and that time will come to all who live. The wise thing to do, for any young man or young woman, is TO SAVE a part of their earnings in the days of their youth. Form the “HABIT” of saving and consistently live up to it. When old age comes, you know you will be prepared for it. . We know of some young men, and young women, in this city who started on the system of SAVINb by depositing in this Bank as much as they could each week, or each month. It would surprise you to see some of those accounts today. Why not let us HELI* YOU in the same way? For your own good you cannot start any too soon. Call and let us talk it over with you.

Around eight o'clock In the evening he had almoat reached the Power* schoolhouse in Irving when an automobile owned by Pat Hannigan of Grand Rapid*, smashed into the separator damaging It badly, as well as the automobile. In the automobile was a friend of Mr Hannigan's, and three Grand Rapid-, caddies, who were returning to the Furniture City after an afternoon at golf at the Hastings Country club. In the collision Mr. Hannigan and his friend were somewhat injured. Mr. Perry employed Kim Bigler, as his attorney, to start suit for damages, it being understood that Mr. Hanni­ gan's car was Insured by the Preferred Auto Insurance Co. The Insurance Co. not only declined to settle, but in­ structed its attorney. Mr. Harry Rog­ ers. to file a counter claim against Mr. Perry for the MOO damage to the auto­ mobile.

Thirteen New Stock Can. Thirteen new stock can. representing a cross-section of the 1931 automobile crop, were used In tiie test. After a 2.000-mlle run-in. two testa were made at 30 miles an hour and five at 55 miles an hour. The complete test Is raid to “be the most extensive and important the A. A. A. has ever made. It per­ mitted accumulation of more than 000,­ 000 separate observations, which have provided lhe basis for determining numerous new facts regarding motor car operation. It was found that the can used an average of one quart of oil per thous­ and miles at 30 miles an hour, but jumped up to 6.9 quarts per thousand miles at 55 miles per hour.

A warning to Hastings dog-owners to safeguard the health of their an­ imals by making sure Uiat the canned foods they use are government inspected. is sounded by the Chappel Kennel Foundation, Rockford. Illinois. For some lime, the Foundation has been receiving reports of mysterious Indispositions on the psrt of dogs In many sections of the epuntry. Inves­ tigation has failed to reveal any clue to the difficulty save possibly lhe feed­ ing of little known and unsupervised types of dog foods. To make sure that a canned dog food is everything it is claimed to be, the Foundation urges dog-owners to look for the wording "U. 6. inspected and passed by the De­ partment of Agriculture" on the label of the can. No canned dog food not having this official identification should be used, since its absence is clear evidence that the contents had not been approved by the government and that, so far as the average person Is concerned, there Is no telling what might have gone into the can. The difference between a govern­ ment-inspected canned dog food and one not inspected is all the difference between a product that is so fresh, clean and pure that It might go on your own table and something a dog might pick up on a round of the neigh­ borhood garbage cans, states the Foun­ dation. Actual examinations of a number of uninspected foods revealed that they arc for the largest part com­ posed of tankage produced In part from the carcasses of diseased animals and other by-products of packing houses and rendering plants obtained in the process of manufacturing lard, tallow and the like—not at all the type of food suitable for a dog with a digestive system not unlike man’s. As a carnivorous animal, a dog should have meat In the dally diet. Northwestern University medical school adopted horse meat as its basic experi­ mental diet after Dr. Andrew C. Ivy. the director of pathology, ascertained that dogs prefer and thrive on It. Most dogs are over-fed. A mature dog's digestive processes are such that he is better off with one adequate meal a day than with three that do not pro­ vide the nutrients his body requires.

But this saving Is at the expense of loos In gaso­ line mileage, aa seven per cent greater gasoline mileage was obtained while using lhe lighter oil. probably aa the result of lower internal friction In the engine. Tiie lesson appears to be that there Li no good reason to vary from recommended viscosities, even for high speed driving. Gas Consumption Higher. As had been expected, the test showed that tiie amount of carbon de­ posited was smaller at the high speeds, with the engines running comparative­ ly hot, than at 30 miles an hour. Gasoline mileage was best at lhe lower speeds, averaging 13.13 and 124M miles pea gallon in the two testa at 30 miles and for 10.34 to 11.0® miles per gallon at 55 miles. The American Automobile Associa­ tion verified by IU findings the claim that prediluted oils do not thin out in the crank case. Tiie prediluted oils were slightly thicker at the conclusion of each test than at the beginning, owing evidently to evaporation or con­ sumption of lighter parte. Findings of the board also verified the claim that ethylized gasoline pre­ vents detonation in the engine. None of the engines at any time showed any evidence of a knock. As the result of lubrication in accordance with stan­ dard recommendations, contest officials reported all mechanical parts outside the motors had functioned perfectly and without distinguishable wear. On pistons and cylinders the wear was too small to be measured at thousand-mlle intervals and was less than one onethoksandth of an Inch for the entire 9,000 miles. Insure Against Wear. The outstanding general result of the test, to which the A. A. A. officials were able to testify, was a new demon­ stration of the fact that good lubri­ cation is insurance against wear even under extreme and difficult conditions. All cars in the test were driven with complete smoothness in the function­ ing of the engines and other moving parts. The cars which participated in the test are to tour the north central statea this summer making further tests of lubrication and fuel consumption under actual road conditiona.

Young pepple today should consider these things — and many of them do. But too many have fallen into the habit of spending their money just as fast as they make it—and in too many instances just a little faster. Sooner than they now think, they will be facing the situation of "Old Age" with no provision made to meet it. Without needed funds and un­ able to work, the prospect will not be bright. All forms of pleasures and recreations have a strong ap­ peal J:o us in the days’of our youth and young manhood— and it is natural that it should be so. As a result, no prepara­ tion is made to meet the days of sickness — and they will come. No consideration is given to the days of unemploy­ ment—and they will come. No thought is given to the time when old age will compel ces­ sation frpm toil—and that time will come to all who live. Y. M. C. A. ITEMS Spend Your Holiday­ in Canada?

Four cars that represent the limit of this era’s engineering advancement... Studebaker’s latest contribu* (tion to a motoring America that is eager* for new methods that make for reduced costs. T Ten months ago Studebaker pioneered Free Wheeling . . . and today it seems the world of motor cars is planning to vindicate the pioneer •. . proposing to make Free Wheeling as uni­ versal as the electric starter. With Free Wheeling, Studebaker is inau­ gurating new principles of propulsion without which any modern car is already old! . . . principles that put momentum on a leash and upkeep on a diet! . . . saving 15%. to 20% on gasoline and oil . . . reducing clutch-pushing and easing gear-shifting * . . providing new measures of safety that command the approba­ tion of traffic officials from coast to coast. But deeds speak louder than details!... the speed and stamina of Studebaker cars are established by official stock car records... and their thrift with Free Wheeling is certified by Studebaker’s recent capture of the national economy championship from 39 can of 19 makes. These four Free Wheeling Studebakers are years ahead of their time! Whoever buys a car with the imprint of the Studebaker name and the impress of Studebaker workmanship is protected by the 79-year policy of advanced achievement that gives inherent permanence to everything Studebaker does. .

Man Is Ab Young as His Bodily Content of Chlorophyl There is no mathematical relation between a man’s years and tils bodily contents ot Chlorophyl. “the carrier for lhe red blood corpuscle.” Chlorophyl diminishes with age. at­ tended with physical weakness, dlz^ziness, rheumatism, and senility. DR. BURNHAMS SAN-YAK PILLS are the only prescription recommended to add Chlorophyl to the blood. The bodily content of calcium (lime) in­ creases with years, attended with hardening of the walls, tube mesh and filtering lubes of the kidneys, with high blood pressure, paralysis and tumor. So, if you desire good health, just use them. They lend the best care to the kidneys, liver ami stomach. Recommended to re­ lieve high blood pressure quickly. SAN YAK PILLS are recommend­ ed as tiie only vegetable hntlseptic laxative lo tiie coion, from which 05 per cent of all diseases arise. One physician. Dr. Jensen, on the health board of Michigan, says: “San Yak Pills are the best medi­ cation to prevent disease." Dr. C. G. Sherwood says he has prescribed San-Yak for more than 15 years, with wonderful success, and Dr. L. P. Bailoy, of Michigan, says of San­ Yak: "It will do all you claim. It Is fine medicine for the blood, and has cured rheumatism of long standing." When one treats the kidneys with San-Yak, he is renewing tiie whole body. One can always depend on San-Yak.

At this meeting a county flower show was discussed and after due deliberation the com­ mittee decided that preparatory wort and much information were necessary before It would be possible to begin an undertaking of this kind. In the meantime each club will do as much as possible in their own locality in en­ couraging the cultivation of bulbs and shrubbery. in line with this discussion waa the Idea that Barry Co. should have some special flower for cultivation. The peony, the iri* and the hollyhock were mentloned*t>ut the peony had the most votes.

Sherwood Anderton, story-teller and country editor, has been making some addresses on "American Journalism and Our Small Communities" under the auspices of a school of journalism in a middle-western university. Mr. Anderson decries an industrial clvllisatlon and tho lessening of the pertonal note In the life of the worker, but he believes that the small town may be of tome service in winning toafck a respect for the handmade job and that the man of average attain­ ments may continue to be a vivid and Interesting unit in the unspoiled pat­ tern of village individualism. He s|>eaka out stoutly: This scramble for financial success in the great city, and this idea that every boy can be president of tho United States, have played havoc with the young people of this generation. than big in a little way. and the small town offers escape from the loneliness and unhappiness of the great city: it conserves and develops the best traits of personality. . This timely appreciation of the unique advantages of lhe small town as a place to find congenial, interest­ ing employment framed in a warm, friendly atmosphere of neighborliness —with the newspaper office In the foreground of lhe picture—is u re­ minder that the rural places have no reason to be ashamed of themselves. They may be one-street villages, the majority of the houses may be modest, unassuming and tn need of paint, but their arching trees generally shelter little kingdoms of happiness and con­ tentment. Their children know the birds and animals and flowers, and are in intimate contact with all the en­ livening little dramas of home and school, while men and women respond to the magic of first names and com­ mon tasks. The small town may not lead the way to fame and fortune, but it nur­ tures loyalty and friendship, and It be stows a full recognition upon those humbler talents which win some of the major satisfactions of living. GRADUATION TIME Schools and colleges are soon to close, and tens of thousands of young men and women will be going out in­ to the world to use. or fall to use. what lias been taught them. To these young people we would say; "your edu­ cation may get you nothing. Educa­ tion is only a part of your equipment, like a carpenter s tools. If a carpenter doesn’t use his tools, possession ot them is of little value to him or to anyone else; and if the graduate doesn't use his mental equipment, de­ velop it and add to his store of knowl­ edge. poasesslon of It will be of little value to him or anyone else."—Cass­ opolis Vigilant. * MICHIGAN IS SAFEAny attempt to make Michigan Un­ safe for the criminal finds its way to the waste basket. The people of Michigan do not want a capital pun­ ishment bill, llicy do not want a whipping post. They evidently do want Michigan made safe for criminals.

The only measures which meet with success are those which convert our punitive prisons into great club houses, with most modern ap­ pointments and fine eats. etc. Our court system has progressed so that jieople who sec a man shot to death right under their nose don't dare testi­ fy. nor does 4>e jury dare »o convict.

A GREAT REPUTATION FALLS. In every community that we know if. or have ever heard of. there are inarlably a few men who. for some rcaon or other, get an idea that they arc fishermen.” Hastings at any rate has ne such man. At least he had an idea hat he was a real fl.ihcrrrtnn right up mill the fore part of this week. His Ishcrmun's kit includes various types f rods several reek, lines of different ypc and texture, files and balta for lark days, sunny days, and all kinds of lays. So highly is his precious fishernan's kit prized ' that his younger □ns. Julian and David, have to be onstantly admonished to keep "hands These younger sons have evidently nherited some of Dads love of fish­ rig. But not being able to buy themelves any expensive tackle, with true unerlcan boy spirit, they went to >'ork and made some of their own. ind you ask. how they did it? That .as easy for them. They took an old lollies pin, cut off one of the "forks nd firmly Installed some tjireeanged hooks. The head of tlie clothes bait, and here a nickeled spinner installed. After this the clothes was painted a bright orange color. Friday Dad and the two sons drove p to Houghton lake for a day's flshig. Dad with his complete equipment, ic sons with their clotlies-pin baits, a niple of antiquated casting rods, and couple ot cheap but strong fish lines, other wanted to take his sons up to loughton lake where he has some rep­ letion as a fisherman—presumably trough his own self-advertising as no ence to base" to create any reputaon as n fisherman.

"Unknown” Identified As Albert Ellis EARLY DAYd RECALLED. Mrs. Annie Young, 82, and for 72 years a resident of Hastings, idenli­ ned tho picture published on this page last week a* Albert Elis, a cabinet maker who was killed In service dur­ ing the Civil war. Mr. Ells assisted her father. W. I. F. Hams, to g«t es­ tablished here when he came from Lockport. N. Y„ in 1853. Mrs. Young was- four years old at,lhe time. The two families became very friendly and later her youngest brother was named Ellis Albert in honor of this good friend—there is a story, too, concern­ ing the reiwon for the change In se­ quence. Mr. Hams, a few people here will remember, stepped In and finished the old Central school building when tho original contractor had defaulted. He and Elite were In similar types of business and always co-operated with one another. Her father, Mrs. Young said, often said that Elite was lhe best kind of friend that any man could hope to have. Mrs. Young, herself, has* a vivid memory for dates and events of the earlier days here. In front of her home on Green St. is an oak. probably one of the few remaining tree* that helped to form solid woodland in that section of the city. Several times official* have expressed a desire to remove the tree so that the sidewalk built around it could be straightened. But the tree is still there and will be at least so lon» xs Mrs. Young lives. Next week we will print another of our "unknown" cuts.

The State of Michigan and practically every other state in the Union recognizes that milk is a "carrier” of disease germs, and has been the cause of many outbreaks of serious diseases, such as streptococci sore throat, typhoid fever, TB, and others.

The Highlands Dairy Has Far More Than Met the "State’s Demands Highlands Dairy Grade A Pasteurized Milk, by STATE TEST was found to have but 400 bacteria in a cubic centimeter, or less than ONE SIXTIETH of what the State of Michigan demands, while our Grade A Raw Milk contined but 7,000 bacteria to a cubic 'centimeter or less than ONE SEVENTH of what the State of Michigan demands. For this reason, Highlands Dairy is the ONLY dairy in this part of Barry County permitted to sell Grade A Milk—either Pasteurized or Raw. High­ lands Dairy in fact produces only Grade A Pasteur­ ized and Grade A Raw Milk. We do not produce Grade B Milk because it has too high a bacteria count to suit us.

Every Day Brings Us Just That Much Nearer To the Time When We Must QUIT When We Are Young, Strong and Full of Life, That Thought Doesn’t Make Any Great Impression On Ui. Young people today should consider these things — and many of them do. But tep many have fallen into the habit of spending thei£ money just as fast as they make it—and in too many instances just a little faster. Sooner than they now think, they will be facing the situation of "Old Age" with no provision made to meet it. Without needed funds and un­ able to work, the prospect will not be bright. All forms of pleasures and recreations have a strong ap­ peal to us in .the days of our youth and young manhood— and it is natural that it should be so. As a result, no prepara­ tion is made to meet the days of Sickness — and they will come. No consideration is given to the days of unemplo’ ment—and they will come. N thought is given to the time when old age will compel ces­ sation from toil—and that time will come to all who live. The wise thing to do, for any young man or young woman, is TO SAVE a part of their earnings in the days of their youth. Form the “HABIT’’ of saving arid consistently live up to When old age comes, you know you will be prepared for it. We know of some young men, and young women, in this city who started on the system of SAVING by depositing in this Bank as much as they could each week, or each month. It would surprise you to see some of those accounts today.'Why not let us HELP YOU in the same way? For your own good you cannot start any too soon. Call and let us talk it over with you.

A Noisy Snapper-Jack and a Hat SCHOOL MJITTNO WAS VERY WELL ATTENDED MON­ DAY EVENING With 5 Wrappers from Exact Figures Not Available Before July 1—Asking $2,­ 000 Less In Taxes Newton’s This seemed like ancient history, but under the law it could not be avoided. An annual school meeting held on June 8 could not give an actual annual report for a year which did not end until June 30. However. Mr. Potts did do a -fine service for the patrons. With other membersof the board and with Bupl. VonBuaklrk he had gone carefully over all the expense* up to the time of the meeting, and had anticipated further expenses up to July 1. He gave a re­ port which Is believed to be as nearly correct as possible. Our readers will understand, .therefore, Hurt this is noV an .actual report, but as" nearly an ap­ proximation as can be arrived el now It U believed by Mr. Potts and the school board that the actual figures on July 1 will not vary materially frohi those presented at the mrptlng. so far as the running expense* of the. school arc concerned. It might be that bill* for landscaping t he grounds ai the new building or for furnishing* therefor may be paid" in the meantime. But that will not .affect the running expenses of the school. Those Hems will go Into plant cost, not cost of running the schools. Understanding, as we hope every reader will, that this is an approximate report and not an actual report, we give the figures presented by Mr. Potts: Balance July 1.

In fact the strange Ideaa they get. and the un­ usual things they do. only goes to show that a depression is quite largely a condition of the mind. Last year, on top of the depression, came the moat severe drouth lids country ever has known. Good old Michigan which has an average annual rainfall of around 33 inches only had about half that amount. Sixteen inchre of rainfall covering the entire state Ls some amount of water. Perhaps we can be excused for adopt­ ing the pessimistic belief that "it ain't gour to rain no more.'' The worst always seems to come to the front at such times, and there were those who said that there was a change In the gulf stream, and the trade winds, and the old U. 8.

The county road commission has re­ cently placed orders tor ten carloads of Tarmac with which It will black-top ten miles ot county highway. No an­ nouncement has as yet been' made of the roads where this treatment will be tried out. That will be done later. From the county's experiments with black-top roads near Hickory Corners, with four types of block-topping, the county road commission and Engineer Rnkowaky arc satisfied with the Tar­ mac treatment and believe it 1» the most satisfactory material for making a top dressing for a gravel road. It was also found to be no more expen­ sive than any of tiie other materials, and less costly than some of them. The road commission felt safe in or­ dering the ten carloads of Tarmac, which they can also spread without asking any appropriation from the county. Later in the season they may find they will not need ell the money set aside for maintenance this year and In that event may put down more surfacing.

At large expense we have equipped ourselves to produce milk in the Very Best and Safest way. And as long as we remain in the dairying business, our policy will be to produce the Best and Safest Milk in quantity, and sell it at the lowest price possible consistent with a reasonable profit. Wc will always recommend Grade A Pasteurized milk because of its low bacteria count and therefore iU'added SAFETY. To any who may not prefer il will always be prepared to supply Grade A raw milk, or Grade B milk, either Pasteurized or raw as they may wish The Highlands Dairy Robt.W.

They had left these in the car while they joined in the festivities at this particular home. Noticing that after her hus­ band had disappeared with Sheriff Leonard he failed lo return, Mrs. Tut­ tle appeared on the scene, so the sherifi also arrested her and brought the pair to Hastings. He overheard a little talk between the two and learned that a fellow named Joe was supposed to be In a house In Kalamazoo. The sheriff had not learned that anybody else was con­ nected with the pair until he overheard thia talk. Sunday morning he went to Kalamazoo, after he had found the ad­ dress of the place which the Tuttles had rented, and brought Joe Murray to Jail here. On Monday the sheriff searched the found. There were all sorts of things there, Including a lot of drapery and curtain goods, quantity of stockings and much other plunder. The sheriff also learned that Tuttle had rented a large garage, which stood by itself in an out-of-the-way place. Investiga­ tion did not disclose anything there, but it was quite evident that Tuttle planned to use It as a store house for plunder. From what the sheriff has learned about this man from Iowa officers, as well as from talks he has had with him and hls wife, he is satisfied that Tuttle is a dangerous criminal. The three are held in Jail here for further investigation. JUDGE McPEEK HANDED fflSPEME PRO 16781138 (Continued from page one) church's table service.

FEEDING CORN STOVER. Shredded corn stover has about the same value as unshredded stover and is satisfactory for wintering mature livestock such as idle horses, breeding cattle, or dry cows. Feed it sparingly to young stock and supplement it with a liberal quantity of protein. It is prob­ ably better to feed tjoth oat straw and com stover than to feed either one as the only roughage. A liberal quantity of shredded stover twice a day. with a light feed of. timothy or mixed hay once a day. and 3 or 4 pounds of com of odls. make a good winter ration for farm work stock. Give plenty of salt and water. If horses are fed'shredded stover as tlw only roughage. give about 1 pound of linseed meal to each home daily; this lessens ganger of impaction In the digestive tract. Beef cows that are not killed may be economically wintered on com stover and oat straw with some kind of legume hay.

HARROW KILLS WEEDS । BEFORE CROP STARTS Cheapest Way to Oct Clean Po­ tato Fields Is Work Ground As Soon As Planting Is Finished The easiest way and the cheapest method to destroy weeds in potato fields, according to the farm crops de­ partment at Michigan Slate College, Is to use a spike, tooth harrow before the potatoes are up and a weeder until the plants are six to eight inches tall. More ground can be covered with the harrow In a day that} can be tilled with a cultivator, and the weeds are small and easily killed al the proper time} for harrowing. The use of the har- f row and a cultipacker. If needed, smooths down the ridges which the planter leaves in the Acid, and the surface tillage helps retain moisture in the soil. The spike tooth harrow should be I used as soon as tlw potatoes are plant- [ ed and the use should be repeated at I Intervals of seven days until the pota­ toes' are up. A weeder can then be used until the plonta are six or eight! ' Inches high. Success with both Uwse tools depends upon their use while the weeds are small and can be easily pulled. The Amt cultivation with a Culti­ vator should be close to the plants and fairly deep. In later use of this Imple­ ment. only the surface soil should be stirred and the gangs should not come dose to tiie plant*. When the vines are one foot tall, most of the feeding roots In the plant are in rite top six indie* of soil and deep cultivations cut off these roots. Cultivation should stop when the planta blossom and the tubers begin to form. Level cultivation should be practiced cxcejit tliat some soil may be thrown around the plants at the last cultivation.

Harold and Carl NeS accompanied F°R ™ENTY"°NE YEA.RS JL the Indianapolis two and a half mile circular brick track, aurrounded by a concrete wall to keep the cars from dashing off, has been the crucible where at white heat automobiles and .tires have been tested. Thou­ sands of men have risked, and some have sacrificed, their lives, and manufacturer* have spent millions of dollars to the end of making better automo­ biles and better tires. TheGold Standard ofTire Values kSTRONGER likTOEGHER ||L SAFER Louis Schneider and mechanician Saturday won this race in a heavy Eight Cylinder car. He made an average speed of 96.629 miles per hour—on the straightaways and in passing cars he touched 140 miles and better. He drove on 6.00-20 Firestone High Speed Tires with racing treads. He had no tire trouble. x He used Firestone Tires because Firestone experts and engineers have through twenty-one years taken this race as a challenge to tire making. From this race they have developed these vital improvements which have given to Firestone Tires the world leadership in safety, mileage and endurance. LONGER WEAR 1. GUM-DIPPING. Tires had to be stronger and able to stand the heat of a hot red-brick track at high speed. Firestono met this by developing and perfecting the dip­ ping of cords through a rubber solution to insulate each fiber of every cord to overcome heat and give the cord greater strength—and greater flexibility. This is the Patented Gum-Dipping Process used in the making of every Firestone Tire. 2. THE BALLOON TIRE was developed by Firestone to permit greater speed with comfort and safety by in­ creasing road grip and absorbing shocks. It was made possible by the added strength and flexibility given by Gum-Dipping. In the 1925 race, some of the drivers tried the then new Firestone Balloons. The other* stuck to high-pressure tire*. Peter de Paolo on Firestone Balloon* made a world's record, All the prize winner* came in on Firestone Balloons—Now the balloon tire is everywhere the standard. 3. DOUBLE CORD BREAKER. The hither-powered cars and the step-up in speed demanded still more tire toughness. At one hundred miles an hour, the circum­ ference of a tire increase* by more than 10%,.and this, added to the centrifugal force, tend* to throw off the tire treads. Firestone met this by developing the Patented Double Cord Breaker which gives a 56% stronger bond between the tread and the tire body and also gives a 26% greater protection against punctures and blowouts. These are some of the great lessons that Firestone has learned on this racing track. Ahd so the men whose lives and fortunes depend on knowing tires always buy Fire­ stone Patented Gum-Dipped Double Cord Breaker High­ Speed Tire*. There were 72 entries^ Of these, 40 survived the elim-. ’nation trials—and every one of them was on Firestone Tires. And every tire was bought and paid for. We give you the benefit of all the lessons Firestone ha* learned from these races. You can get from us all the strength and safety in tire* that the racing driver* buy.

Ilia and more evidenced at the approach of the year of the Two Hundredth An­ niversary of Washington's birth, the tlx cates at the Smithsonian will have to be moved to a apace where larger crowd* can be accommodated. Recently a representative of the Division of Information and Publica­ tion of the George Washington Bicen­ tennial Commission watched the throng one morning gathered about about these glass walls through which all eye* were staring at the china that once graced Washington's dinner-table, at hl* Sheraton and Heppelwhite din­ ing chairs, at the extra-faced watch that he presented to hls wife Martha, nt all that the Smithsonian Institution possesses that once was Intimately as­ sociated with the Pint President. These crowd* on the outside of the case* were almost as much ot a study a* the objects within. They were a sign that the power of George Wash­ ington to capture the interest and the respect of these Americans of today, far from waning, is rapidly on the in­ crease. In one case off by itself In another corner of the museum, it might be said for the benefit ot future visitors to the city of Washington, hang* the famed buff-and-blue uniform habitually worn by Washington and portrayed in so many of hfs portraits. In this par­ ticular uniform he must have taken especial pride, for It was the one he donned for the occasion of hls historic resignation a* General of the Army. hi the same case will be seen the flag of Washington's time as represent­ ed in this one of hl* ownership, con­ sisting of the usual bars of red and white, but with the thirteen stars in a circle in the blue of the "Union Jack.*' Also here are a gold-headed blackhorn cane, Washington's service sword, the sleeping tent he used during the Revolutionary War (presented to the institution by George Washington Parke Curtis), a larger field tent, and the poles, peg* and ropes that held them in position. But of an Importance and an interest greater even than that of ttiese strict­ ly personal mementoes of Washington. Is a document that confront* the visi­ tor to the Smithsonian Institution as he enters the very door. This Is Wash­ ington's commission a* General In Chief of the Revolutionary forces, awarded him by the Continental Con­ gress and signed with the flourish of John Hancock, its president, and other officials. That not over-large slip of engrossed paper Is almost as priceless as the Declaration of Independence it­ self, for It was thl* commission which placed in power the one man of the time who was capable of putting the Declaration into practical effect. If the awed visitor has attention for anything else In the same case that contains this article, he or she will see something almost as Important to his­ tory. This is the white brocade robe tn which the infant George Washington was christened, not long after hl* birth in ITO. Along with these two outstand­ ing articles ore the compass used by Washington Ju a surveyor in laying out hls lands about Mount Vernon, hls shaving mirror and razor-case. his medicine scales, hls leather writing case (used during the ’^evolutionary War and looking very much like a modem lawyer's brief-case), trays of Sheffield silver from Washington's din­ ing table, and various portraits, minia­ tures and medals. Here also are the spy-glass and the larger field-glass used by General Washington In hls battles and hls re­ connoitering. In the brass of both of them now battered and tarnished. WHh them. In the same case, is an object sure to attract, especially, the feminine eye—a piece of embroidered velvet that once was the ornamented sleeve of one of Martha Washington's gowns. In a companion case adjoining Ls an array of the china service used by Washington and Martha, and by the unending line of guest* entertained at their table. And with the dining chairs from the shops o» Sheraton and Hep­ pelwhite In another ca*e are tables and a large wing-chair which, the at­ tendant* at the Smithsonian will tell you. the Mount Vernon Ladies* Asso­ ciation would give much money to possess and restore to their former places in Washington's historic home beside the Potomac. ■ Paganini a. a Father ’ Paganini's greatest relaxation was spoiling bls son.

SUPREME COURT UPBMESTO INDIANA LEO IB LATORE WAS WITHIN ITS* RIGHTS IN FRAMING LAW CONSUMER WILL BE THE ULTIMATE PAYER WUl Affect Retailer* Who Do Large Volume of Business— Aimed At Chain Stores Retail store operators of this coun­ try have been much Interested in a ruling by the United -States Supreme Court on a cue that wax appealed to that court Jrom Indiana. It appears that the Indiana legisla­ ture passed a law providing for a graduated retail sales tax. We do not know the exact provisions of the law. From what we have read of It we would sgy it would be something like this: Any store or system of stores whose yearly sales would not be in excess of 115,000 would not be taxed, the law-makers evidently considering that that volume of trade Is necessary to keep a business going. Then t^>e ules tax wu Increased on tiie volume above the SlfiXMM) minimum, until It reached one per cent on the gross sales of the large retail organizations, such as the chain storea. It wu the evident purpose of the Indiana legislature to discriminate against chain stores through thia law. That that wu the aim is shown from the manner in which it wu framed. The supreme court of the United States has affirmed this law. and de­ clared that the legislature ot Indiana wu within !U rights in framing the law. This will probably mean that other states will follow the lead of Indiana in this kind of legislation. Re­ tailers who are not in the chain store' business, but who do a large volume each year, realise that such a law will reach them just u it does the chain storea; for there can be no discrimi­ nation. The result will be that the ownership of a store, whether individ­ ually owned or a part of a chain, will find itself much more heavily taxed than its competitor if it increases .the volume of Its sales. This might tend to discourage investments in large re­ tail establishments. While this legis­ lation would affect stores with a large volume of business, they would not stand all the sales tax themselves. They would add some or ail of it to the price of their goods and the consumer would find that he wu paying most of the tax in the end. The smaller deal­ ers throughout Indiana, however, are feeling chipper over the fact that the highest court in the hind hu upheld this Indiana law. believing it will help them in their fight on the chain ajores.

Members of the college staff told the bankers that the farmers who wanted loans far the purchase of high grade alfalfa seed, for the purphase of lime, or for the purchase of high producing cows deserved every consideration for hls loan application. The bankers through their repre­ sentative. D. H. Otis, director of the national agricultural commission of the bankers, promised their aid in enabling farmers to take advantage of the ad­ vice to plant more acres of alfalfa and to improve the quality of the cattle in their herds. Improved types of blue berries are a new crop which will be available soon for use on Michigan farms which have an area of the right type of muck, according to V. R. Gardner, director of the experiment station at the college, who told the group at the meeting tliat new methods of propogation perfected by the station would make planting stocks available soon. He also said that he expected this crop to be in the million dollar class in future years. The use of federal funds in estab­ lishing cooperative associations for marketing products was explained and it was predicted that greater amounts of such aids would be weed by Michigan farmers. Another way to increase profits men­ tioned before the group was the keep­ ing of cost account records by fanners. The records enable the farm owner to discard unprofitable crops and to in­ crease those which arc profitable. SOUTHWEST RUTLAND. Last Week's Letter.

Matthews a well known resident of Hastings, passed away* Bunday afternoon at her home on West Green St. following a several months period of III health. She had been up and about a part of every day and the end came suddenly. She was born In Hastings Oct. 24. IBM, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Matthews anti had lived her entire life in this dty. thirty-seven of those year* being spent as a teacher In the primary and lower grades of the Hastings public schools. She graduated in 1882 and began teaching In February 1883 to fill a va­ cancy in the second grades at a salary of twenty-five dollars per month. This was the beginning . Of, her long and splendid service. She taught under sixteen different superintendents beginning with C. B. Hall and ending with Carlton Ehle. in grades ranging from second to sixth. She had the unusual experience of teaching children whose parents had also been her pupils. She loved teaching and was an in­ defatigable worker. Il Is estimated over 1.500 children passed under her in­ struction. all of whom with few ex­ ceptions will bear witness that—"Miss । Matthews was a good teacher." terminated In June 1920 when action was taken at the annual school meet­ ing to allow her to retire oh part sal­ ary. subject to call for emergency teaching if necessary, but she was never required to do this.

ILLINOIS PASSES STORE LICENSE BILL Law Is Aimed At Ohaio Organiiations of All Kinds and Descriptions The Banner ha* mentioned the fact that the legislature of Indiana last year passed a bill which amounts really to a tax upon chain stores, the percentage of the tax increasing with the volume of sales and no tax on a volume of less than 315.000. Tills tax the United Slate supreme courf has upheld. On Friday June 12 the Illinois legis­ lature passed Rc(iresentattVL* Pintozzl** chain store’ license bill, the vote being 135 yes and not a single vote recorded against It. The bill provides for a license fee of 825 on the first three stores under one ownership in that state and a license fee of 81.000 on each additional store above* three. It covers food products, meats, groceries, drugs, tobacco, fur­ niture, hardware and manufactured products. Violation of the provisions of, the act is to be punished by a fine of not less than 81.000 and not mor* than 35.000 If the Illinois state senate shall con­ cur and the governor shall approve,. the law will become effective October 1.

As showing the change in farm methods in the past ten years the cen­ sus statistics are quite informing. The number of horse* on farms in 1920 was 10.591. In 1030 the number had dropped to 6.148. The number of mules had dropped from 83 in 1820 to 59 in 1930. The number of cattle de­ creased from 23.894 in 1920 to 17.606 In 1930. The number of milk cows had decreased in the ten year period from 12,239'to 8,998. The number of hogs reported in the county in May 1920, was 25,577 and these had dropped to 6,671 In January 1930. Chickens in the county declined in the ten years from 195.093 to 170,607. Tills story as to milk cow* we think hardly give* the right impression. In the ten year period the number of milk cows had largely decreased, but we believe the amount of milk pro­ duced had considerably increased in that period. This was due to the fact that farmers had learned how to select cows that would give a greater quan­ tity of milk and that there were far fewer "boarders" in the dairy herds of Barry county in 1930 than there were In 1920. We presume the volume of eggs and chickens sold In 1930 was fully equal to. and possibly suriiasscd, the volume in 1920.

These groups are being assisted by members of the dairy department of Michigan State College by a series ot I meetings held In Branch, Barry. Sani­ lac. Jackson. Allegan and Mason coun­ ties. A special truck carries represen­ tative sires of three dairy breeds, and the farmers who attend the meetings are told the advantages ot forming bull clubs. By this method two, three, or four dairymen cooperate in the purchase age yearly butterfat production of 400 or more pounds can be bought for prices as low as 73 dollars. Each of the men has the use of the sire in his herd, and the group of men can easily afford to build a safety bull pen in which the animal can be kept without any danger of any person be­ ing injured. At the end of two or three years, the group can trade sires ^ith some other group, and In this way two or more animals can be obtained for the price of one. The sires which are traded are I proved*animals. Their heifers can be seen so no chance Is taken on the kind [of calves which will be obtained. The । dairy department at the College helps i the clubs in these trades and will also * aid any groups to organize a club. SOUTH BOWNE.

Last week the Banner mentioned the fact that Mr. and Mrs Fred W Tuttle, who were arrested by Sheriff Leonard because of their believed participation in the robbery of the Delton creamery, were returned to the state of Iowa in charge of two sheriffs and other offi­ cers, to answer for crimes which they had committed there.

The case of Mrs. Tuttle evidently had not as yet been disposed of. Her offense was said to have been committed in ! another county than the one where her husband was brought Into court.

ATTENDED MEETING HERE CO-OPERATION OF CIT­ IZENS IS NECESSARY Problemi of Maintenance and Tax Burden Reduced If Coun­ ty Plan Is Followed It Is to be regretted* that every town­ ship officer of the county was not pres­ ent at the meeting held in the court room Tuesday night last week, when the status of the townships, the coun­ ties and tlie state under the new McNltt highway bill was considered. J. W. Hannen. secretary of the Mich­ igan Good Roads Association and pub­ lisher of the Michigan Roads and Air­ ports. was the first speaker. He told of the conditions that had led up to the framing of the McNIU bill, the alm of which is to reduce township road taxes. Nine conferences were held in Lansing, at which this subject was considered. There were representa­ tives of all interested localities and organizations. Several proposed bills were presented end discussed at each of these conferences and all except one, that which was presented at the ninth conference, were rejected. The speaker said there was no selfish mo­ tive on the part of any who attended ships, the counties and the entire state. He declared that Mr. Prank Rogers, for so many years state high­ way commissioner, had declared the McNltt bill was the outstanding ac­ complishment of the recent legislature and commended its purpose and pro­ visions. The speaker said that no bill could ever be passed by any legislature that would satisfy every person. This bill would not do so; but if people are ready to co-operate, in an effort to secure Improved township roods In the manner provided by this bill, It Mr. Hannen spoke of the efforts that had been made in the recent legisla­ ture and In previous sessions to divert part of the weight tax into tile gen­ den. but to attempt such relief by tak­ ing money from the state highway (Continued on page five) ty Offered all the goods in stock for the big final close-out sale, by means of which tiiey expect to dispose of their stock of mer­ chandise.

They were glad to find the sentiment among the bank­ ers of the state, including the leading ones of Grand Rapids and Detroit, to be that the worst of the depression is past and that recovery from it Is al­ ready under way. At Toronto the Michigan bankers were guests of the bankers of that city. They were taken to the Royal York Golf club course, which was given over to them by tlie membership of the club. The Mlcltlgan bankers very courteously invited the Toronto baifkers to join them in the game which they did.

Cutler, who lives Just across the county line in Wayland township, writes the Banner giving his recent experience in the building up of his dairy herd. We doubt if It can be equalled. He said: • Last Wednesday morning. June 17. one of my grade cows freshened with a nice heifer calf. About 1:30 thut afternoon, a fine registered Guernsey freshened with a nice heifer calf. Down in the pasture lot a half-blood Jersey and Guernsey freshened some time be­ fore four o'clock, and presented her owner with a fine pair of twins, “heif­ ers'' by gosh. These three fresh cows brought four heifer calves in less than ten hours —all in the same herd. I wonder If any herd of cows can equal this unique record?"

Mr. Paquin brought several reels of film and gave some wonderful views of the scenery on Isle Royale, and the wild life of that island.

Daniel Bush, the first pastor of the church here, wrote out a brief history 1 of his year's work in Hastings which: reads as follows: “Early in the fall of 1841. I rode in-1 to Hastings on horseback and an-1 nounced myself m a minister of the Gospel, sent by the Methodist confer­ ence, lo labor among them as a mis­ sionary. Hie people received me at, a messenger of Ood with a cordiality and warm-heartedness that at once inspired me with confidence and hope. I never met with a warmer re­ ception than I did at Hastings, al­ though there was not a professor of religion then living in the place. There were at that time seme ten or twelve buildings in Hastings, most of them built of logs, and the people were all very poor. Forty dollars in missionary money had been appropriated for the support of my family; but the people were .quite liberal and we passed through the year comfortably. As the people would not consent to my living [ outside the village, the flrat thing in my family. Falling to find a house, we a temporary home in Alexander McArthur's house where we were given an upper chamber, which was reached by a ladder, ahd there was established the first Methodist parsonage In Hastings. A movement headed by A. W. Bailey and Thomas Bunker for the erection of more com­ fortable quarters for my family result­ ed In tlie completion of a house, on the first day of January. 1842. Firewood needed for the household I obtained by felling trees that grew in profusion about the house. “I commenced my missionary labors as soon as I reached Hastings. A new schoolhouse had been built the same year and. in that house, we assembled for worship. .From this point I went into all the settlements of Barry county, the western part ■ of Eaton county Ind the northern part of Kal­ amazoo county preaching wherever I could assemble a congregation. Pre­ vious to my coming to this work Brother Daubney, a local preacher from Gull Prairie, had visited Hastings a few times and preached to the peo­ ple. I heard of a Methodist man who lived several miles northeast of Has­ tings by the name of Alonzo Barnum. I made him a visit and found him chopping down a tree. I introduced myself and, when I told him that a new mission iiad been formed and that I wks the preacher In charge, he raised his hands and eyes to heaven, great tears rolled down his face, and he said: 'Praise Ood. My prayers have been heard at last.' We both knelt at the roots of the tree and held a prayer meeting. A class was formed there nnd we made it a regular preaching place. "J preached In Eaton county, in the Hager settlement. I preached In Zebulon Barnum's schoolhouse north­ east of Hastings and in the Carpenter settlement north of Hastings. West of Hastings I had an appointment at Mr. Ingram's, also at John W. “Bradley's. I preached at Mr. Hill's, where the village of Middleville now stands, and further south of that place at Judge Barlow's. I had an appointment at Yankee Springs and preached during the year at Yankee Lewis' Tavern. I preached at the Tillotson schoolhouse near Oull Prairie. I preached alio dur­ ing the year at Pine lake in Prairie­ ville, where we had a class, and there we held a quarterly meeting. East of Hastings there was a considerable settlement near the county line and there I preached to a class at the home of Lorenzo Mudge. During the sum­ mer of 1842 I held with Rev. Franklin Gage, who was in charge of Allegan circuit, a camp meeting near Gun Marsh on a line nearest our respective charges. This was the flrat camp meet­ ing ever held in this part of |he state and it was Attended with gratifying results. “The free use of intoxicating drinks HASTINGS ROTARY CLUB HAD SUCCESSFUL YEAR New President Is J.

Mr. McEl­ wain thanked the Rotarians for their confluence as shown by their selection of himself to preside over the club for the coming year and pledged his best efforts to make his work helpful to the club. . The lost year has been one of con"riderable growth for the club. It has carried on more than Its usual amount of benevolent work. The largest single Item was the handing over to Pennock hospital of about *800 to go into the charity fund, to enable persons who could not otherwise pay for hospital panles. The orders for each of these plants have averaged as large as last year. The C. H. Osborn Company has shared In the general conditions, but has kept going steadily with a smaller force than In normal times.

BLACK BASS FISHING. "A three-pound pull and a five-pound bite. An eight-pound jump and a ten-pound fight. A twelve-pound bend lo your pole-c When you get him aboard he's a half­ pound bass. Wallace Irwin. A good many fishing enthusiasts have experienced that ___ _______________ same moment of thrilling suspense more than once if he has ever done much bra* fishing. Probably no other fish which inhabits our Inland waters lias a better reputa­ tion for scrapping than the small­ mouth black bass. Fish the shallows for him where bull rushes grow lliickesl and at the time of day when tlie marshes hum with tlie day's hatch of insects which is about sundown. ' His cousin, the large-mouth, general­ ly runs a little heavier In weight and does not bear tlie fighting name of tlw small-mouth but he will, nevertheless, give anyone considerable - entertain­ ment before he is landed. IBs hang­ out is more likely to be found where the Illy pads are in abundance. Deep water is more to his liking, where he lurks, waiting to rise to the unwary frog who ventures out over his hiding place. If there is any doubt In your mind as to which specie of black bass you have taken, the following rule may help you. It 1* said tliat if you can get your fist in the bass' mouth it is a small-mouth, but if YOU can get in. it's a largemouth. ’ Any advice here as to the best type of lure for this or that fish is hardly necc«ary. Evcryofie who has done much fishing generally has some fa­ vorite bait which he prefers and is usually loud in the praise of 11. In the last few years the tendency has been toward lighter baits. Many baits now on the market weigh less than un ounce. Of course, such lures do not require as heavy lines and an eight to ten pound test line enables one to handle ■ these light lures more easily and accurately. Manufacturers who previously confined their activities to making trout-flics arc now making feathered and hackled baita for all gome flail lo be used on both costing and fly rod*. Out of the large variety of live bait which find favor with fisherman, which includes crayfish,, helgramites. frog*, mice and some insects, many have been successfully imitated. This does away with a great deal of’bother In planning your fishing trip. If you still prefer lire minnows to the plug varlety recent Improvements on the min­ now bucket now make it possible for you to keep your bait alive tor a much longer period of time. Some idea as to tho appreciation which Michigan residents have for the at tract! vencto of our wild life may be gained from the following incident which occurred near Charlevoix. When a colony of beaver threatened a stretch of road with the back-water from their dam, the rood commission requested that the Conservation De­ partment live-trap the animals and move them to another stream. Upon learning of the commission's act. resi­ dent* living in the vicinity of tlie dam contributed their time and erected a dike along the threatened road so that the beaver could continue their ac­ tivities unmolested. With Michigan fighting to establish a name for herself as a tourists' mecca and depending upon her wild life to be one of the. outstanding attractions, such show of cooperation as the Charlevoix folks gave should not go un­ noticed.

Consumers Power Company's average rate for electric service in the home has been taking a "wqge cut" every year for a long time. This everage rate in 1920 was 68% higher than it is today and while electric service in the home is getting cheaper each year, it has steadily become more useful. Only a few years back electricity was used chiefly for lighting — and cost more. Today cheap electricity not only gives better lighting but does countless jobs, brings endless con­ venience to the home whether for lighting, radio, cooking, cleaning, washing, refrigeration or the like. A few cents in any of these tasks goes a long way at rates which make the average cost steadily lower as your use and enjoyment increases. \ CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY Home B*“ ho"** kW.h-ln « Po*er C°' c—-p 8/ *1920 1931 PHONE 2306 — HASTINGS, MICHIGAN leaves five grandchildren and .two great grandchildren, also two broth­ ers.

TALKS PRICES IN OPEN,LITTER DIBOUB8EB COMPARISON OF PRICES ON FARM MACHINERY SAYS CRITICS DO NOT UNDERSTAND MATTER Makes Comparisons Which He Says Critics Do Not See Nor Consider cent or MIO. I believe this reduction will compare favorably with the price record of any automobile. During the last year and a half, anticipating lower material price*, we made reductions that meant a taring to our ultimate consumers of about five million dollars a year and these reduc­ tions took us to the limit of business prudence. One point that should not be over­ looked In anv study of actual and rela­ tive prices of Tarin implements Is the fact that price Increases since 1913 re­ flect not only higher market prices for labor and materials, but also much higher intrinsic values of the Imple­ ments Besides their Improvement as to durability, practically all farm imple­ ments are now of markedly Improved quality and efficiency These Improve­ ments have been achieved by scientific selection of steels, use of modem metal alloys, heat treatment, precision of manufacture, etc, all of which add to the manufacturing costs as well as to the value of the goods. The oldey lines orlglnallv designed for horse-drawn use would not stand up under the higher speeds and greater stresses of mechanical po+er operation. Perhaps the most frequent com­ plaint against Implement prices Is that they are too high In comparison with the prices of farm products and with the farmer* pocketbook.

Legge NO NEED FOR WORRY ABOUT GRAIN APHID Common Insect la Present Each Year Until Parasites Reduce Its Numbers Both the scientists and the humorists say dial the wheat crop Is lousy this year, but the eatomoioghU at Michi­ gan State Collefe say that fanners of this state need have no Serious worries about ths presence of unusual numbers of the common grain aphid, or plant louse, on wheat. ■ Farmers from all sections of Michi­ gan have bombarded the college de­ partment with requests for Information and advice about this minute Insect which is found on the heads or other parts of the wheat plant. This grain abhld is an old resident of the slate and Is present each year. It Is also known as the apple-bud louse and spends part of ita lime on apple trees, where it does no harm. From the apple, the Insect migrates, in. April usually, to grasses or grains It sucks Juice from the plant, but does not Inject any toxic substance into the plant to cause serious injury. This Insect has been observed for the past 30 years by the college enfdlnologiriJi. and. during that period of time, natural parasites of tlie plant lice have always killed moat of the aphids before harvest time This parasitize, tlon is expected to occur again this year and the plant lice will be reduced to their ordinary numbers. The species of plant aphid which causes serious damage to grain crops in some parte of the country has been found in Michigan only once or twice and no specimens of it have been re­ ported this year. This aphid injects a substance into the plant which in­ terferes with the plant's growth. CLOVERDALE. The Cloverdale W. C. T. U. will be held at the church Tuesday. July 7 at two P. M.

The Average Man Can Attain Success I Only by “Plugging” Their 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’8 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 addecl 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.

That New Suit WJIVERSSHLIED TDMEEIBBIESIffl (Continued frompags on*) Speaking after the meeting held nt the fair grounds Saturday Ed 8 Townsend, who called the gathering tn protest over high taxes, commented tersely. "I would rather have held this meet­ ing than to be governor of the state," Mr. Townsend said. He was immenselypleased by the fact that a throng es­ timated at from 1.500 to 2.000 persons gathered to hear the speakers, and evidenced much enthusiasm at the various talks that were made. John C. Butler, a Danby township resident, presided at the meeting. After ■talks by Mr. Butler. C- V. Fenner, of Detroit, president of lhe home defense league; E. B. Stebbins, of Carson City a candidate at the last election for treasurer; Ed. 8. Townsend. and George E. Nichols It was decided to organize. Twenty-three petitions were passed in the crowd, and 1.113 signatures re­ ceived that favored the movemeat for a special session of the legislature. Tlie organization was christened "The Ionia County Taxpayers' Defense League." Ed. E. Townsend was elected president. Henry Welch, vice-president; John C. Butler, secretary; George L. Jordan, treasurer. Mr. Butler stated that he was In favor of circulating a referendum to do away with lhe state senate. "We don't need a senate, no more than a dog needs a tall on both ends,” said MT. Butler. Speaking of the Michigan govern­ ment, he continued; "They have tak­ en away our rights. They want the state now to build and maintain all of the roads. They took away the school rights. You can't put in a heating plant or some windows in the school­ house unless such are approved by Uie state. If the state wants to tell how­ to build the schoolhouses then let it educate lhe school children. You can't trim your shade trees along lhe high­ way In your wheat field to let your wheat crop grow without first asking the state. 'The state has taken over 9,000.000 acres of land. Who is going to pay the taxes on this land? How are you going to pay your taxes with 50 cent wheat? ganizatlon In every county in the state; second, we want our represen­ tative to go back to the legislature and demand that the salaries of the stale officers be cut from 25 to 50 per cent." Mr. Townsend, in speaking, said. "We want the taxes reduced so that every man aqd woman can pay his or her own Uxes. Cut the Uxes by begin­ ning at the government of the sUU. I'm glad that I was not elected to the legis­ lature to be one who helped to Increase the tax. We have the papers here to ask the governor to'call a special ses­ sion of the legislature for the purpose of reducing the taxes." Wilbur M. Brucker was asked to be present for the meeting, but through George E. Nichols sent word that he was unable to attend, as he had to be TWO LITTLE GIRLS HURT. What might have been a serious accident, had the driver been speeding his car. happened Tuesday evening at the corner of Green and Michigan. Freda Butloph. aged fl years, was running across the road and happened lo see a car, driven by Daniel Shay, approaching so she stopped and nat­ urally Shay thought she would stand still, but instead she turned and ran into the path of the car which was proceeding very slowly. The little girl was taken to hefTioihe at 312 W. State Road and the doctor called. He found a scalp wound but did not think there would be any serious effects. She was terribly scared, and Mr. Shay was held blameless as the accident was one of those things that Just happen. About the same time, little Sybil Woodmansee, daughter of Mrs. Myrt, Woodmansee, and a cousin of Freda, Only was hurt while playing on the same corner.

TAILORS asked to speak, but responded with but a few brief remarks, stating that ho believes that the revenues to carry on the state would have to be got "from sources that are able to pay." Mr. Stebbins said in part. "This trouble is much of our own making. Michigan Is suffering from party dom­ inance. We must wake up and put some sportsmanship into our politics. Politics of today are like a game of ball played by professionals against boys. You know wlio wins. They con­ tinue in power until Michigan is pros­ trated with Uxes.

HAVE REUNION AFTER FORTY YEARS SEPARATION. In “The Leader” published in Man­ chester. N. H.. under daU of July 1. was printed lhe following lUm of inUrest to Hastings people, who will re­ member that Mr. nnd Mrs. Th os. Johnston left receptly on % motor trip through Canada and to Manches­ ter to visit her sister. The ium Ulis of the reunion of the two sisters afUr a separation of forty years: A car bearing Michigan license plates drove up to 98 Rockland avenue the other day and a woman alighted "Is there anybody here £y the name of Noreen?" she inquired from another standing in tire yard. The woman looked at her closely. ■'Yes, Annie, there is.” she said quietly. At that the tears welled in both women's eyes, for thus two sis­ ters who have not seen each other for 40 years met once more Both arc great-grandmothers now but the years of separation have njelted miraculously in the few days Of Rieir visit together. The women are Mn. Annie Johnston of Hastings. Michigan, and Mrs. John F. Noreen of M Rockland avenue. The last time the sisters saw each Nebraska. At that time they were tak­ ing up homesteads, government land in the west, when Mrs. Noreen's hus­ band decided to come east, and she followed him a few months later. They settled first in Milford and eventually in Manchester. Mrs. Johnston has been kept busy during the past few days, not only re­ newing her acquaintance with her sis­ ter but in getting acquainted with a large family of nephews and nieces and grand-nephews and grand-nieces, a few of whom site saw in their baby­ hood. but most of whom she has never seen. Mix Noreen has ten children, all of whom live In Manchester. Goffstown. Henniker. Londonderry, Gras­ mere, and surrounding places, so that they are accessible within an easy ra­ dius. There are five generations living in the family. The visit here la more than a re­ union celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Noreen were married 51 years ago in April, and on learning that Mrs. Johnston was contemplating a visit east they de­ cided to [xistpone any wedding cele­ bration until she arrived. When Mrs. Johnston first wrote that she was coming east. Mrs. Noreen sent her address and telephone number so that she could easily find the place but Instead of using them. Mrs. Johnston decided to surprise her sister. It turned out that she was the one surprised for she did not immediately recognize her sister when she stopped to Inquire where she lived. Mrs. Noreen was tending her chick­ ens when she saw an automobile stop nt the far end of the house. She glanced at it. but paid no attention un­ til her sister finally accosted her. Mrs. Johnston and her husband made the entire trip from lhe west by motor, camping all lhe way. They went up through Canada and came down to Manchester through lhe White Mountains. Mrs. Johnston was par­ ticularly impressed with the beauty of this part of the country- They will re­ main in the city for about two weeks and will visit Washington. D.

It may be that this mulch proved an ideal hatching place for Uie larvae already laid; and it may be that the season alone is responsible. It would be well for farmers of Barry county to be on the lookout for these worms, which usually hatch out on soils that are cold; but warm weather, such as we have been having lately, starts the worms to breeding tremen­ dously. They are not pleasant to have around; but if they are discovered the I important thing is to get busy at once and hold the damage to the smallest possible amount in the manner ad­ vised by the State College experts. The love triangle generally turns out to be a wrecktangle. Specialising In Public Utility Preferreds Investment Trust Issues Over $94,000,000 at risk. Nat Resources over $435,766.89.

The average cost of electricity has been steadily lower each year. The average rate per kilowatt hour for electricity in the home is now less than 5c as compared with nearly 8c in 1920 — or 68% higher then than it is today. In terms of the family pocketbook, it means that the home users of Consumers Power Service saved a total of $3,800,000 on their electric bills in 1930 over what it would have cost for the same service only 10 years ago.

III.— PART TWO The Average Man ( Only by “Plugging” Their 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 deterrnination to SAVE a part of each week’s, or each month# earnings. The man, or the woman, who saves money in Ihis 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.

Having already had my dinner I didn't cat when the others did. Girls kept coming all afternoon and wq went in swimming afterward. At campfire Miss Kinch. our leader, told us what the camp schedule was. We go in swim­ ming three times a day. eat three times and have choices of different subjects to take up. Taps rang al nine­ tyteed. Wednesday. June 24th. Got up at six-thirty. The water was cold when wa went In for a dip. The swimming instructors are Misses Ethel Perry. Louise Hilbert, and Genevieve Hafner. My tent, tent two. was the honor tent. The subject I am taking is music. We had four subjects to choose from; either music, dramatics, nature study or interpretive dancing. At I campfire to-night each tent put on a stunt. Tent eight got the prize with a scene in a dentist's office. There were songs, a medicine show, and our tent put on a divorce court. Subject for di­ vorce—A Cat Scratch. Thursday. June 25th. Up at seven-thirty. The dip was re­ freshing because it was very hot and no one felt like doing anything. Some girls played volley ball however, in lhe afternoon. Went in swimming three times. At night we had a pajama pa­ rade. All the girls dressed in pajamas and marched around the woods. Then came the- moonlight xd!p And off to bed. In spite of the heat wc slept well. Hottest day on record for 65 years. Friday, June 26th.' inspiration period Is right before breakfast and everyone goes. I liked it because it was helpful. Mrs. McKean of Middleville made this period very in­ spiring. The theme for this camp period has been—"Seeing the beautiful in na­ ture. music, art and in lhe things around us." About nine-thirty the wind blew terribly. But it only sprinkled a little. I played ping-pong and was beaten very badly. At five-thirty the whole camp went on a hike. A mile and a half off made supper taste bet­ ter than ever. Mrs. Brown's good cook­ ing makes Camp Barry very popular. After supper we played games and the walk home mat^c everyone ready to tumble Into bed. Saturday, June 27th. In music we are working on our program for Monday night.

I Speaking of th* business depression, more than 1004X10 private garages were built In the United State* last year. Michigan hunters will take the field this fall under regulations considerably different from those of the past two year*, changes in the game laws adopt­ ed by the legislature this sjwing include Increase* in both small game and deer license fees, shortening of the season on ducks, geese and other wildfowl, and the elimination ot the overlapping sea­ sons an upland game that have plagued the hunters of the state the past two falls. Tlie first change which the hunters will feel 1* a delay in the opening of the waterfowl season until Oct. 1. For many years this season has opened Sept. 16. and the later Opening means that gunners will have no chance to take the field until October arrives. The wildfowl season has been short­ ened at both ends in addition to open­ ing 15 day* later than formerly It close* Dec. 15 instead of Dec. 31 a* In the post This change will mean little to Michigan nlmrods. however, as the fall flight of ducks usually has left this state by the middle of December any­ way. The last two weeks at that month sometimes afford straggling room­ shooting in the corp and fcheatflelds along the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan but aside from this. Michigan hunters will not duffer much from the earlier closing. The season on coot and jacksnipe will conform to the duck and goose season, running from Oct. 1 to Dec. 15 in both the upper and lower penin­ sulas On Florida gaUtnules, however, the season opens Oct. 1 and closes Nov. 30. rather a confusing exception in view of the fact that few hunters know a galllnule from a coot either before or after shooting it. The season on all upland game. In­ cluding rabbits, fox squirrels, woodcock, pheasants and partridge, opens Oct. 15 in the lower peninsula. This will serve to do away with the muddle of con­ fused seasons that has drawn the fire of sportsmen the past two years. These seasons do not all run the same length of time, however, and tn naming the closing date* Hie legisla­ ture allowed a decided tendency to continue a complicated and confusing system. The fox squirrel seasons comes to an end Oct. 24 while the season on pheas­ ants. woodcock and partridge runs un­ til midnight of Oct. M And the ef­ forts of sportsmen and conservationists in past years tn bring tlie rabbit season to a close by the end ot December as a means of preventing the use of ferrets went for naught this year, the legis­ lature fixing the closing of Hie seaton on both cottontails and snowshoes at Jan. 31 The deer and bear seasons remain unciiangcd. running from Nov. 15 to 30 as In former years The prairie chicken season under the new game laws is to be established by the conservation commission. Killdeer, wood duck. swan, blackbellied and golden plover, quail, spruce partridge, yellow legs, sandpipers, black and gray squirrels and Hungarian partridge are left on the closed list. Next to the changes in seasons hunters will be most afiected by the Increases in license fees. A small game license will cost 81.73 this year instead have undergone an increase of *1 and will be priced at >350 this coming No­ vember. This increase will be used to directly benefit the deer hunters, how­ ever. the law providing that of each deer license sold 8150 shall be set aside for the purpose of buying game refuge* and public hunting grounds. The new game law also provides that any person who has been convicted in the past three years of a violation of years has shot another human shall not be granted a deer hunting license. These restrictions do not apply to the granting of small game licenses. LINDSEY—LOFTUS.

That typical American who. getting some money ahead, "starts u store" in hopes of gn easy living, is one of the prime tragedies of tlie commercial world and" is responsible for a large jx*rcentage of retail bankruptcies, ac­ cording to Dr. Julius Klein. U. S.-hsslrtant secretary of commerce. . "There is an appalling tendency to regard storekeeping as an easy way of making a living—simply an affair of making pretty piles of goods in win­ dows. and on shelves, tying up neat packages, and extending the 'glad­ hand' to customers." Dr. Klein writes in the current "Rotarian Magazine." •Anybody, they think, can tie on a white apron, weigh sugar, fount oranges, and make change. But the overwhelming weight of evidence proves that this attitude is tragically mistaken.' 'Successful retailing 'Is today a science, even jierhaps. a profession. It requires an extensive background of knowledge, an understanding of man/ complicated problems, a high degree of insight, w capacity for careful study, a specialized proficiency, and skill, all in addition to robitst heaitfl.” Studies conducted by the U. S. De­ partment ot commerce show scant economic Justiflcauon for many stores. Often the location is inept, and rhuncn without regard to proximity of competitors, the nature of the sur­ roundings. convenience to car-stops, advertising necessities or the numbers, types and destinations of imsscnby. But most significant of all. is the lack of ability and experience in the person­ nel. Competition is vastly over-rated as a source of retail bankruptcies, ac­ counting tor but two to seven pev cent of the failures in American business, according to department of commerce and other statistics. • The indcr-endent retailer can in most eases.'' Dr. Klein concludes, • withstand competition if he is I pre­ pared to meet the principal challenge embodied in that competlUan—the challenge of efficiency.

Because it con­ tains lime, minerals and all the other necessary health vitanyns. Besides this, there isn’t a food known that can compare with milk in cheapness, when you consider "food value”—and "food value” should be considered. No Pasteur had then found that milk ia a carrier, of disease germ*, and no Paateur had discovered a method of killing the harmful bacteria in milk. could be impure. that milk is a carrier of disease germs, and also that the gertns increase rap­ idly in warm milk.

Kuhn and Thompson pitched for the Fourth Ward. Thomp­ son going in to relieve Kuhn in the fifth Inning. Warner opened the game for the First Ward but gave up the mound to Reynolds In the third inning after he had allowed nine runs to come In. The Fourth Ward made sixteen runs, ten hits and five errors. For the First Ward, eleven runs, seven hits and nine errors. Al Brown, umpire. A fine spirit of friendly competition Is being shown by the boys and If oth­ er boys residing In town will get in touch with their ward chairman, the boys who are now playing will appre­ ciate It. Some trouble I* experienced by the three teams in filling out their line-up and so every eligible boy Is urged to get In the game. The First Ward Is having a little hard luck Just now but there is still a chance for them Hastings Independents broke even In a week-end series, winning In a thrill­ er from Holland 8 to 5. and losing to the Bishop Colored Giants 10 to 4 in a game that was far better than the score Indicates. Al Brown assumed the duties on the mound for . Hastings against Holland with Morse catching and held the visitors to eight hits while his team mates were collecting fourteen. Bak­ kers and McCarthy were the battery for Holland. Young scored first for Hastings in the third but Holland took the lead In the fourth with twq runs. Hastings then evened matters In the last half of the fourth with a run by Morse. Holland then bunched three hits well in the fifth to score as many runs and pulled away to a lead that was not cut down until the lost half of weeks to get their team in shape before the eighth. Roush and Young accounted for two another game. runs In the seventh to cut the lead 4-5. The new schedule Is given below: Coming to bat in the last half of the eight, still trailing by a point, the local sluggers opened up and made five July 21—1 and 4. hits good for four runs to assume n July 28-2 and 4. cent. James lead with a 70 per cent average. Titus came second with 583. Oak* followed with 49 and Monica placed fourth with 42.9. Soeg and Hazel were high men for Caledonia with 441 and 40.7 respectively. The teams of James and Oaks, and Titus and Monica won five games each for a perfect record. The combination.-, of Adams and Warner, and Roush and Bender ekch accounted for three games out of five. Tomorrow the local team goes to Grand Rapids for their first tourna­ ment with the league leaders. A com­ parison ot. records to date indicates a hard-pitched battle. The two teams are now separated by only a few points. Last year Grand Rapids won two tournaments out of three but the final contest on a neutral court was ex­ tremely close. Jack Hoeksema, the Grand Rapids star, can always be de­ pended on for a good percentage of ringers.

' Mr. Angell testified that hl* first thought was that the boy might have gone to the beach with a toy boat that he had found and followed It out be­ yond his depth. He and his leaden con­ ducted a search of tlie beach and of the water but were unable to find a trace ot the boy. As a lari hope. "Dad" said, he returned to inspect the boy’s personal belongings. He knew that Reese had brought two cults with him and he thought that the boy might have become homesick and started home. A thorough investigation, however, revealed that the boy had not touched his clothing slnfle the swlmming period. Then Mr. Angell went to Ell Lindsey’s farm and notified Sherif! George Leonard. The sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney Barnett started for the camp after midnight. Arrived there, three searching part­ les with flashlights started out to comb the entire swimming bench. Il so hap[>ened that the body was discovered by Jacquette, the boy’s tent leader, about eighteen feet west of the shoreward side of the diving platform. Further testimony brought out that the raft waa roped to the diving plat­ form and could move about from side to side. Thus when the raft swung over to the west of the diving platform, the projecting rock already described was within easy reach of a diver. The rock, Jacquette said, was about fifteen inches in diameter, projected slightly above the bottom and was covered with mow. The water here was about four and one-half feet deep or sufficient to reach the boy's chin. Those who served on the coroners Jury were William Field. C- H. Osborn, Thomas Baird, Dr. Guy C.

Provisions for visitors have been made, and one end of the dock and a portion of the west side of the structure have been made available for perrons wishing to Inspect the ship With |U length of 785 feel, the U. 8. 8. Akron will be fut nine feet longer than the famous Graf Zeppelin, but its greater diameter gives it a lifting gas capacity of nearly twice the Ger­ man ship Tlie Akron will have a ca­ pacity of 6 500.000 cubic feet of helium.

A specially designed outrigger with - a rigid drive shaft will deliver power to the propellers outside the hull. One of the most interesting features of the ship will be its airplane com­ partment. This compartment will hotise five pursuit planes, which may be re­ leased and picked up in mid-air, and which will bo used for scouting, or for offense and defence of the mother ship. While visitors are interested in the airship, the mammoth dock is in it­ self a major attraction. A seml-paraboloid in shape, the dock is 1,178 feet long. 328 feet wide and 311 feet high, the largest structure in the world without Interior supports. The floor area of 304,000 square feet is unob­ structed by pillars or posts More than 7.200 tons of steel were used in the building and its doors, and because of this immense amount of metal it was necessary to place the girders on roll­ ers in order that the structure might expand and contract with changes in temperature. It has been estimated that 10 football games could be played simultaneously under the roof of the dock, that six miles of standard railroad track could be laid on the floor area, and that the great Woodworth building could be laid Inside and the Washington monument thrown in for good measure.

August 7. will be the annual field day at the Pennsylvania railroad's demonstration farm on U8 13L two miles north of Howard City. That rail­ road's agricultural agent. Mr. D. O. Hagerman, has been In charge of this farm for several years, and Is proving that, if the lighter rolls of Michigan are properly understood and managed, they can be made to produce profitable crops. There are sections of Barry county that have tills same problems as the Pennsylvania railroad's demonstration farm, via: light roll, with ordinarily such poor crops that operating the farms proves unprofitable. Owners of these farms should be mterested in at­ tending this annual field day on Fri­ day. August 7. near Howard City. Over 2,000 people attended last year. Along the Pennsylvania railroad, for many miles north of Grand Rapids, the rolls are light. In the past attempts have been made to farm thfse sandy lands, but in the great rhajority of care* the first settlers, after a hard struggle, quit the game. The purpose ot the Pennsylvania railroad officials in establishing this farm is to prove that such soils can be profitably farmed. Briefly, the program on this demon­ stration farm is "Lime. Legumes, and Livestock." Various operations In this demonstration farm will be explained to all interested parties, and It is hoped that there may be a larger attendance than heretofore. ARMY WORMS ALSO FOUND IN OTTAWA COUNTY It Will Be Well For Farmer# to Be On Lookout For These Destroyers The discovery of army worms in Ot­ tawa county together with the fact that they had previously been found In Ingham county suggests that farmers in this locality had better be on the lookout for these destroyers If they ore found, according to Instructions from the Extension Department of the State College, the first thing to do is to plow three deep furrows a few feet apart around the field where they are discovered, with the fuAow thrown to­ wards the center of the field. This will make a convenient way to catch the worms. Their depredations are usually at night and they are not easily found In the day time. It will be well, there­ fore for farmers to be on the lookout. Army worms are always present in summer season^ but usually their In­ sect enemies keep them down to a point where they are not destructive.

Kalamazoo. Rev. J.. whlch paved the way for that kind of Insurance In this state. No one else had ever thought about that kind of insur­ ance in Michigan up to that time Through the efforts of Mr. Rogers the necessary steps were taken to secure a charter from the state of Michigan, which was granted hi 1885. For the first 34 years of the company's history Mr. Rogers was the secretary. Tiie company steadily grew under his wtse and tactful management. * The time came when he felt that he must retire from such active work. The company had become a big Institution. His duties had groan to be so many and so exact­ ing that he felt he could not stand the strain. Since then he had done only such work as he could without having it a tax upon his strength. In politics Mr. Rogers was an ardent republican. He served on the city coun­ cil for some time and was elected mayor of the city in 1901. He was a member and always enjoyed the work of Barry Lodge. K. of P. Mr. Rogers was a man who appre­ ciated hls friends and was very loyal io them. He was faithful to every en­ gagement he ever made. His word was as good a* hls bond. During ids long official career in the Barry and Eaton and the Windstorm companies, as well as In all hls business dealings, there wak never a question of his Integrity. He was always active and busy at his work so long as he was physically able to work He liad many warm personal irlends who appreciated hls good qual­ ities. The members of hls family and hls relatives cun think with much sat­ isfaction of the long and useful life he lived, and of hls faithfulness to his duties and responsibilities. He met hls bereavements and trials bravely and well and Ids family and friends will carry with them the memory of a lov­ ing father, a faithful husband and a ;loyal friend. . » much-d Kurd to while e tall sail the sup about a Ironside Shoe Co view school.

He has proven very useful and because of his previous successful rail­ road experience, has been of great help to the business men of Seattle. To nt tingly observe the 80lh birth­ day of his father. Loren invited L. A. to Seattle. That lie arranged every de­ tail of the trip to Insure the comfort of his father Is shown by what hap- his arrival there by two officials of the .Chltago-Mllwaukee-St. Paul and Paci­ fic railroad. They escorted him, in their fine car in which they had driven to the station, around Chicago, especially to show him the developments on the World's Fair grounds. After the drive they gave him a fine banquet dinner, then escorted him to his drawing room sleeper, which left at ten o'clock that night. Before these officials left they instructed the trainmen to give Mr. McIntyre the best of attention and care on the trip, which was done in fine shape.

HIGHLANDS DAIRY Grade “A” Pasteurized Milk Is the BEST FOOD for Growing Children .,. and Even for Adults! And POUND for POUND, It Io By Far the Lowest Priced Food You Can Buy, When You Take “Food Value” Into Consideration There is no better food in the world for growing children or for adults than CLEAN, pure, wholesome milk. It contains just the elements that the human body demands. You will find that children will be a whole lot better off if pies, cakes and pastries are omit­ ted from'their diet, and a glass or two of clean, pure milk substituted at each meal. They will enjoy better health, will develop a better physical founda­ tion, and you’ll find that there will be a big saving in doctor’s bills. Just try it out and see. Bui above everything else, the milk should be CLEAN,, because ordinary milk is a recognized carrier of germsHere is where Highlands Dairy can be of great help to you, by providing milk that is just as CLEAN as any milk pro­ duced in Michigan, as proven by REQUIREMENT demanded by the state in the production of clean, wholesome milk, and ia the ONLY DAIRY in this section that is PERMITTED TO SELL GRADE “A” MILK. As A Mother, You Feel That There Is Nothing Too Good For Your Children! You are careful to see that every particle of food is made SAFE before it passes their lips. You see that veg­ etables are thoroughly cooked; you re­ move the protective covering from fruits; nuts are shelled; you know that the drinking water is safe.

We left Grand Rapids on aa beautlful an evening aa ever broke upon the world, with a pleasant wind from the southwest, and birds greeting us will) their songs aa we sped on. The evening sun cast Its flickering lights and sha. daws on winding forest paths. Over there was the gleam of the white birch; over yonder the evergreen of hemlock, spruce and scattering pine. Back of all these was often the glint of from some high spot nearer the ways uniting to to be forgotten. Muskegon were bluff, now from some water's edge, but al­ form a picture never Grand Haven and passed then on to remained for the night. Bright and early lhe next morning, after a good breakfast of course, we drove to Glen Haven on lhe Leelanau peninsula. To anyone who has not taken It. this p a beautiful drive. Lake Michigan Is often in view from some towering hill. The dunes, the forest covered hills, rippling streams, peace­ ful lakes, all go to make a panorama that you dream of. but scarcely expect to see. In a trip by rail to this section of Michigan, which the writer has fre­ quently made, one can get no idea of its scenic beauty, because railroad lines invariably are built through the least Inviting places. In the afternoon we played the Glen Haven golf course, built by tbe Ute D. H. Day. a wealthy Traverse City man. It is claimed that there Is no other course like II In the whole country, and we are quite prepared to believe it, Mr. Day owned a large tract of timber on one of tiie very high bluffs overlooking the lake. At what must have been a very large expense, he went in and cleared 18 large fairways of the solid .timber, took out all the stumps, stubs and roots, cultivated and seeded It. The result Is that there are 18 smooth fair­ ways with a dense forest on all sides of each one of them. When we said that the fairways were smooth, we did not mean that they are level. Far from it. There are steep hills, ravines, gulch­ es. with lhe deep woods always but , Bobby Jones says that the chin b highly Important in golf. "Chin” in fact seemed to form the greatest part amontf all these eight golfers.

A golf ball And ask for a better score next day. resting on the pebbly bottom of a sparkling stream has absolutely no at­ traction for the golfer who shot it. We speak from experience. The fellows were all more or less, weary after several strenuous days at golf, and when we teed off at Belve­ dere. there were a lot ot stiff Joints and aching bones. This led Gordon Ironside to sagely remark:—“By heck, I wish I only had one leg and then I wouldn't have to try and shift all my weight on my other foot, nor be so particular about my stance." It was a beautiful day at Belvedere, and after the fellows got limbered up. some good golf was played, and of course some that wasn't so good. One of the fellows to distinguish himself was Kim Sigler, who made an "eagle" three on the long No. 10 hole as we re­ call it. where par is five. After this very unusual record Kim gave vent to an extemporaneous little ditty, that ran about as follows:—"" "The sun is shining all around. It beams on you and me;. But I don’t care how hot I get— I made that hole in three.” We doubt if Kim's feat has been duplicated very many times, and he was naturally the target for some en­ vious glances, as well as some sarcas­ tic remarks, such as "bull-head luck" and the like. Our next stop was Cadillac after an­ other Interesting drive of 50 or 60 miles. The country is rolling and beautiful and the highway paved. We may as well digress right here and say that good roads have meant the salvation of thia northern country. In Michigan we believe that the 'Tourist Business" stands next in volume to the Automo­ bile Business. Every year people from other states and even other countries, spend hundreds of millions of dollars in Michigan, the northern sections get­ tings the lion's share of it. from people coming here to escape the heat. Even today, despite the world-wide depres­ sion. lines'of cars bearing license plates from other states, and loaded dowij with camping and fishing equipment, are to be seen going north. Many towns along lhe way have very attractive Tourist Campo, generally located in some picturesque and inviting spot. Michigan has spent many millions of dollars for good roads through this northern section, but the Tourist Busi­ ness is paying good Interest on the In­ vestment. Cadillac too. has an interesting golf course located on the shore of tjje beautiful lake of that name. The fore­ noon was spent here and in the after­ noon a 50 mile drive, or more brought us to the beautiful and attractive course at Big Rapids. It happened that Miss Virginia VanWle, one of the not­ ed lady golfers of the country, was playing here that afternoon. We hope she didn't see some of Dave Good­ year's hooks off into the rough. In golf at least Miss VanWke carries a terrific "wallop." and her drives compare very favorably with the best made by the men.

The other three were listed among the "also ran"— and still not so far away cither. We ar­ rived home Monday night and thus ended a glorious tour of between GOO and 700 miles—not far, easily within the reach of anyone with a car, and a trip well worth the time of anyone to moke. Really we never thought it pos­ sible for eight men to have such a good time, and arrive home even friendlier than ever, after 144 holes of golf. We sometimes wonder when old Charon poles our departed spirit across lhe river Btyx, whether we’ll find a golf course over on the other shore. We hope well find some stretch of green­ sword fringed wltli the morning sha­ dows of oaks, maples and pines; some swamp land gay with blossoms and the colors of summer, where a chorus of music comes from nature’s song birds; some expanse of lake glittering in the sunlight. It the Styx Country club can present a scene like this it will surely help, a lot. If under these delightful surroundings wo con meet oty friends, who shoot about the same score, it would really seem like a continuation of this moat delightful northern trip. CAIRNS REUNION.

The cows and heifers which will be shown have been on the cottonseed meal diet long enough to determine that this concentrate is no more dan­ gerous than any other protein feed. The difficulties that have been encouptcred in heavy feeding with concentrates are due to a lack ot balance between the amounts of the concentrates and the roughage rather than to any poisonous substance in the protein feed. The group of animals is only one of the points of Interest which the diary department at the College offers the Farmers Day visitor. Ten Holstelns will be shown to demonstrate the rat­ ings given by the Holstein Freisan as­ sociation in grading the animals for type. Three excellent, three very good, three good plus, and two good Hol­ stelns are Included tn the group. The dairy and soils department are cooperating tn pasture fertilization tests and members of these depart­ ments will be at the experimental plots to explain the amounts and kinds of fertilizers which have been used. Some of the analyses have increased the growth of grass on the plots so that the amount of grazing provided has been greatly increased. NORTHEAST CASTLETON.

Even the hardiest of skeptics are so amasedat this new four that performs like an eight that they ask eagerly for the facts behind thia tre­ mendous accomplishment. What is Floating Power? Floating Power is a term ap­ plied to the new and revolution­ ary principle of mounting the engine in the car frame, devel­ oped by Chrysler Motors engi­ neers for the New Plymouth. Just how is the engine mounted? On two live-rubber mountings nearly an inch thick. These mountings are so placed that a line drawn through them pas­ ses through the center of grav­ ity of the engine. Thus the engine is suspended in perfect balance. What does Floating Power do? The live-rubber mountings ---------------al— low the engine to rock upon its natural axis as if in a cushioned of Tiiomas and Anna Tasker will hold BRANCH DISTRICT. tlielr second annual reunion at the Mr. and Mrs Glenn Lake of Toledo. i-i with i home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Tasker of Ohio, who have been visiting Mr. and Assyria Center.

Why does Floating Power succeed when all ■ other methods fail? Because Chrysler Motors engi­ neers have not tried merely to dampen vibration; they have achieved an entirely new prin­ ciple which diseipatea the motor impulses so that they never reach the body and frame. mits Free Wheeling in all for­ ward speeds, and it also may be completely locked out. The Easy-Shift transmission which enables you to shift, without clashing, from second into high and back into second, if you wish, at speeds up to 50 mika an hour. The new, double-drop frame for greater safety and roadability. New, eye-compel­ ling beauty. Internal hydraulic brakes. Safety-Steel body. Why and How is Power Increased? Because the elimination of vi­ bration allows higher compres­ sion, which gives greater horse­ power without increasing cyl­ inder site. Floating Power makes possible 56 brake-test horsepower and actual stop­ watch speeds of 65 and 70 miles an hour, and pick-up from 0 to 40 miles in 9.7 seconds.

Fall creek was developing I quite a little water power. There was a storage pond in lhe hollow near Un­ bend in South Hanover. From this a race led to the old grist mill at the comer of Hanover nnd Bond streets. A small storage pond was located where there arc houses standing now. br- SATURDAY, August 1st LAST DAY Hanover and extending south six or I eight rods and being about four or five I rods across east and west From this the waler was led to the waler-wheel which operated the mill. ' I Down stream there wax what was known as the •■Hadley mill pond." A part of the dam Included what Is now East Court street across the Fall creek valley. This was a favorite ice rink jfor the kids in those days. LoU of Ice I for home and store uses was gathered, | there also. The Hadley Crist mill was , | located on the cast side of Fall creek. : between Court and State streets. Not [far from it was a saw mill. Here. we| believe, wu located the first saw mill! In Hastings, in the thirties. With the clearing up of the land. Fall creek be­ came more and more unreliable as the source of water power, so that later an Engine was installed in the upper mill ia grist mill, also in the Hadley grist mill down stream. The Invention of the; roller process of grinding wheat and the developing of jilg flour mills else­ where put an eno to the old .type of grist mills, so tliat, in Ha latter days, the Hadley mill was used for grindinc I feed very largely, although it also ground some grists for farmers who' brought wheat to that mill. About forty years bro Hastings had a terrible •epidemic of diphtheria. It was believed that the old mill pond was responsible for this- outbreak. Ac­ cordingly legal steps were taken to get rid of the dam, but they were not at first successful. However, the matter was solved by somebody, who made it possible for lhe dam to empty Itself of its contents, which occurred one night. After the thing was empty then Injunction proceedings prevented its being rebuilt. It really had not been useful for a long time. Beginning about where Frank An­ drus' battery shop is now located and extending across to the cast bank of Fall creek on State street, there was a sidewalk constructed by the city. The roadbed on east Slate street from that i point was narrow and. as can be seen I now. was depressed below the present level of the street so this elevated ride­ lwalk was a necessity. Tills board walk j afforded the means for second warders jto get down town. Where Green |street Is now built across the creek bed. at one time there was a ridewalk which stood up several feet higher than the | pond. There was also another jralk on; stilts on Bond street, although the: pond did not extend to that jwlnt. When one thinks of the amoifnt of | I water that used to be In Fnll creek In | those early days and fn more recent; times we can hardly realise what a change has taken place to cause that' stream to be perfectly dry as it is now.

They also his wife and two children. It appears that they drove into the fair grounds here Saturday, stopping at the tourist camp.

The two were arrested and brought to Jail. The wife and the chil- TO CHANGE AUTO TITLE FORMS FOR SECURITY. The automobile title division of the Department of State, within a few weeks, is to change the form of auto­ mobile titles in order to give greater security to the purchaser and the, holder of the mortgage. The new titles are to be a dark buff| In color while the present titlea are green. In addition to the title, each' application will have a perforated slip! attached to the bottom. This slip willj contain all facts relative to the tnort-i gage and after the title has been ap- j proved by the department, this slip is to be detached and sent to the mort­ gagee. This kill eliminate tho possi­ bility of two or more liens being im­ posed on the same car. On the back of the title, space is provided to allow a record to be made when a mortgage lias been completely paid. Thus the new titles wifi be able to give the complete financial history of every automobile sold in the future. To protect the state in issuing yearly license plates, the weight of all pleasure cars is to be perforated ln| the upper left hand corners of all new l titles. POSTURE STUDIES. Hie Public Health Service has re­ cently Issued a further bulletin on the subject of physical development and posture. (Public Health Bulletin No. 179). In this Investigation 2.200 boys and men were given careful physical examinations and three photograplis. profile, front, and back were taken of each person, nude In addition to sum­ marizing such definitely quantitative Information as was obtained with re­ gard to postural relations, the bulletin* presents a series of profile photograph', chosen at random, representing In­ dividuals of all ages from 2 1-2 years The point of view of the report is that of determining how people stand, rather than what constitutes "good" and "bad" pasture. Rigorous standards of an objective and quantitative char­ acter- were required for each slop ut the investigation. The discussion and conclusions have been confined to a description of relations actually found in the course of the investigation, with the few Inferences which It appeared could be logically drawn. The primary characteristic of all the postural relations studied was that of variability; and this variability was particularly manifest In the presence of widely different postural character­ istics in the same Individual. No fixed types of posture could be found, even among the youngest children. The specific conclusions of the in­ vestigation are technical in nature and cannot be given in a brief summary. They are of a decidedly negative character and do not lend support to certain more or less established Ideas. At every point in the Investigation an unmistakable impression was ob­ tained of the great variability tn pos­ tural relations from person to person and the impracticability of establlslilng specific standards of posture. until the case can be disposed of. The two were brought before Justice Courtright Tuesday and confessed their guilt. Sentence on one was suspended OPENS HEALTH ASSON. till further Investigations can be made. CLINIC AT LONG BEACH.

' I Good Clean Milk Is Just a Matter of HEALTH Insurance for the Members of Your Family! Medical science has disclosed beyond a question of doubt that milk is a carrier of disease germs, and many outbreaks of fevers, strepto­ cocci sore throat and other serious diseases have been traced directly to the milk supply. More than this, science has disclosed that disease germs multiply much more rapidly in warm milk. For these reasons it is well for every family to give consideration to its supply of milk especially in these hot days. It will be an added protection to every member of the family.

COLLEGE MEN SPEAK ON FARM SITUATION Audience Hears President Shaw, Director Gardner, and Professor Bather While President R. 8. Shaw. Michi­ gan State College, did not hold out promises of immediate prosperity to thc thousands of farmers in the Farmers' Day audience at the college, he did point out that agriculture has come through similar depressions In 1893 and 1898, In 1907 and 1010, and In 1921 and 1924. President Shaw said. "There Is some consolation in the fact that some good comes out of depressions. I managed a 520 acre stock farm in the period 1893 to 1898 and had to do more hard thinking than at any other time in my life. During the first years I had only enough to eat, a place to sleep, and enough money to pay the taxes' and expenses; but, at the end of the period I had accumulated a surplus." He also stated. "The stability of the nation in the future, as in the past will be dependent upon the farm family home. The making and maintaining of ideal home conditions is a far more commendable objective than the ac­ cumulation, of cash reserves." Director V. R. Gardner told the vis­ itors that the college experiment sta­ tion is of more Importance now. when every mekns must be utilized to make farming pay a profit, than in good times when any system of -farm man­ agement will enable the. operator to make money. Professor H. C. Rather advocated a further increase In the alfalfa acreage of the state and said that livestock in tills state can profitably utilize the crop from one and one-half million acres.

In 1920 the annual coniumption of elec* tricity averaged 281 kilowatt hours per home. The average bill for this service was $21.31 per year or nearly 8c per kilowatt hour. In 1930 the average consumption was 578 kilowatt hours per home — or more , then double the amount used in 1920. The bHI, however, for twice the amount of service has only increased $7.34, the average cost of electricity in the home being reduced to less than 5c a kilowatt hour. . What this means to the home customer is that the family now enjoyl twice as much electricity, as 10 years ago at a unit cost 34% less. Not only is this elec­ tricity cheaper today but it does more and better work, and in more ways, than ever before. CONSUMERS ROWER COMPANY �THE HASTINGS BANNER, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, IM1 MIDDLEVILLE.

Current History This Week’s Word Crumbs of Wisdom A Communication From Ed. S. ‘Townsend Editor of the Banner: In last week's issue of your paper. I see someone used the taxes of five dif­ ferent farms. Now I will only ask this gentleman to be fair and not decelvf the people, which he has done. That Ln the trouble with this country. We have hod too much deception. Fur in­ stance. he gives u* the total tax ot one 80-acres of land, which is $109.27. He says the state taxes were S13.B3 and our local tax was the balance, which is 895.44. Now this Is not fair and awfully deceiving to the tax payers. .The local tax here mentioned includes our high­ way tax. our school tax. and all other of our county taxes which would also Include a poor lax. I want to ask this gentleman how much oyr taxes would be if we would Include our state high­ way tax. and our state school tax. and all other state taxes.

He filled the place, as every- ►-+44 one kncWhe would, in a very satis-| factory way. HU introductions were | fellciUous. and he gave out announce-'{ menu fgwn time to time in a manner i that helped to make the occasion | pleasant and memorable. First on the afternoon program came j the Bradley Indians. Among them was k Mrs. Sarah Isaac, who U 101 years of 8 age and who can recall that, as a little f girl, she came through a small white > settlement then called Battle Creek. P when Uwre were only a few huts there. • She still makes baskets beautifully and P talks with animation. From all appear-1* HASTINGS HIGH SCHOOL life before her. On the program for tlie afternoon first appeared Adam Sprague, one of the Selkirk Indians of Bradley. lie spoke of his pleasure in being Invited to have a part on the program He reminded his hearers that he represented settlers who were on this ground long, long before the foot on It. Mr. Sprague appeared dressed as JJV an Indian chief, with eagle-feather I rA head-rear. which was over 100 years 1 old. and with a bcautifful buckskin chieftains clothing, ornamented with beads, which were very artistically placed on lhe garments and made him very striking tn appearance, he being tall, straight and fine-looking. Mr. Sprague said that his people are changing. Formerly he said they ysed.to-paint their faces. They had discarded that practice years ago and were surprised to see so many white people now taking it up. He said that the strict rules that governed his an­ cestors were rigidly applied by the chieftain. If any Indian man was unfaithful. If any Indian woman was untrue to her husband, the punishment pelled to wear It in that manner, to ad­ vertise the fact that their actions were heartily disapproved by the members of their tribe. Looking about him. Mr. Sprague said if that rule were to be applied to his audience now, many women would be banned from ;x>lite society. Picking up a stone weapon, attached to a handle, he said that formerly Ids ancestors went out with such weapons as that to kill and de­ stroy their fellows. Now they arc sin­ cerely trying to follow in the foot­ steps of the Prince of Peace. After this a quartette, consisting of three Indian women and Adam Sprague, sang two hymns, part of each in Indian, part in the English lan­ guage. They were familiar hymns and all could understand lhe words. Fol­ lowing this another Indian, who Is at the present time holding a series of religious services at the Selkirk mission church in Bradley, made a lervid, sin­ cere and powerful appeal to the au­ dience to respect lhe teachings of Je­ sus Christ; to live true to them. This concluded the Indians' part of lhe program, and it was heartily enjoyed. said on the platform to the big au­ dience. so they could hear distinctly. Next Mrs. Fannie Jackson of Prai­ rieville recited an original poem which she had composed for the occasion. Though she is well into the seventies, her voice was clear. There was fine sentiment expressed in her poem. - Next came the address ot Justice William W. Potter, of the Michigan Supreme court. Mr. Potter came before hU audience without a note or a mem­ orandum of any sort, but his wonder­ ful memory makes such help quite un­ necessary. He traced the history of Barry county from tlie time the French owned all ot Mlcliigan. down through the English occupation, until the treaty following the Revolutionary war ceded Michigan to the United States. For a time all of Michigan and Indiana and the northern part ot Ohio were des­ ignated as Wayne county. Later Indiana was set on as a separate state. For some time thereafter all of Michigan was Wayne county. Later. Monroe county included Barry; then came the Joseph county; then It was hooked up with KAlamazoo county, the county it­ self being separately organized in 1839 We wish we had the address of Mr. Potter in printed form, ro we could clear, connected and concise, with many dates of historic evenU. It was a delight to all who heard him. He mentioned pioneer happenings that concerned nearly every township of Uie county, recalling the first settlers and important events. It was a re­ markable address. Following this Mr. Ketcham called upon all who were in the audience who had lived in Barry county fifty or more yean to arise. Fully half of them stood up. Fewer stood when the call was sixty yean. When those who had lived in the county seventy yean or more arose there were only forty. One wom­ an. Mrs. Williams ot Barry township.

Many of Lhe farmers have been talk­ ing about Irrigation of late, but to our knowledge. O. A. Sherk of the north county line is the first one to really start tlie ball rolling. He has been growing peas,- beans, sweet corn, etc. for the Grand Rapids market the past few years and of course the dry weather hit these crops hard so after talking with parties who were familiar with irrigation projects in the west, he got busy and with the pld of a gas en­ gine and some hundreds of feet of iron pipe he Is now keeping Id* potato patch as wet as he wishes and the cost is not so high. He is pleased with the results so far and no doubt will greatly enlarge his system for next year. Of course oil of the farms are not situated on river banks so that the water supply Is so handy nor Is all land level where you want your garden, but if we have many of these dry seasons no doubt others will try tlie system, unless Oscar should get It patented. Several of our boys were In Grand Rapids to see the sights at the Air Port on Saturday and they enjoyed every minute of the time and can talk of but little else since then.

They knew the lakes and streams by melodious names. The Thornapple was the So-wan-que-sake. or Forked River; the Grand into which It flowed was the O-wnah-tc-nong, or far distant river; the Utile Thomapple. was the Chlck-see-ne-btsh.

LyBARKER, Proprietor We Deliver Hastings the largest wigwam town In southern Michigan, one of the chiefs stated. Here they raised com, squash, pump­ kins. beans, and Other vegetables. At L’Arbre Croche. near Cross Village north ot Harbor Springs, was th* trib­ al sjat of the Ottawa*. Their wig­ wam* extended for several mile* along lhe lake shore. Every fall they came down the lake In birchbark and dug­ out canoes, ascended the river*, and tributaries, where they spent the win­ ters trapping and hunting. In the spring, they made maple sugar, for tlie red man was very fond of sweets. Some returned north after sugar mak­ ing. But before they started up Lak.? Michigan in their canoe* they halted at the mouths of the rivers where th^v observed the solemn fe^st ot lhe dead tn memory of those who had died dur­ ing the southern sojourn. When the corn wo* ripe, those who remained be­ hind to engage In rude farming, cele­ brated the event with a ceremonial dance os an offering of thanks to the Master of Life. The ancient Hebrew believed in a future life in which there vjere plenty, of gold and gems; certain sects of Mo­ hammedans believed in a future life where there was perpetual peaceful living with women; tlie Indian, wiio had great hardships with his primi­ tive weapons in killing enough game fur his livelihood, believed that death brought entrance Into the happy hunting ground, where game and fish were forever plentiful. And strange It seems to us—in the Indian tongue there was nothing thal corresponded to profanity. Bravery was a first essential In character and they carefully trained their children to develop courage. Bodily punishment was almost unheard of. If the children needed checking they often threw water on them. To develop courage they sometimes made them climb trees and then felled the trees. They liked the animals in the woods and killed only enough for food. In their camps they kept numerous pet raccoons, rabbits, woodchucks, ond other animals Their methods of cook­ ing were very practical. They usually had one kettle and they boiled ns many thing* at once as was possible. When they boiled maple sap for sugar, they often accepted the opportunity to cook tlie family dinner at the same time. How the Indian of 1831 dressed Is thus described by the late Frank Little of Richland: "Every Indian had n weapon of some kind, rifle, tomahawk, bow and ar­ rows. clubs, and hunting knife. They were usually in full native dress, their hair long and braided, a badger, beaver or fox skin worn as a turban and surriflMhted with hawk or eagle feathers; Mabklnaw blanket, deer skin hunting shirt, leggings and moccasins orna­ mented with porcupine quills, wam­ pum belt, turkey call, pipe and to­ bacco.

Exhibit to Trace Com­ plete Hiitory of Production and Distribution wc must (Contlmjed from jiagc one. part one) that this is tlie time alien call for lower budget* by school officers, to the erid that school taxea may be cur­ tailed. He expreased his pleasure over tlie fact that the legislature hud mode It impossible to apply tie Covert Act. except with lhe approval of two-third* of the sujx-rvtsors. which assure.* Uie people tliat their Interests will be «afegiuujled and that no Covert road, with Its bonds and yearly interest, will heroufUr be built In Michigan unless It 1* an urgent necessity. The speaker said that he hod plenty of statistics with him. and had hoped to have a chance to give them some of the figures he had. that would tell what the Individual Increases In taxa­ tion had been in the townships of Barry county, covering a period of sev­ eral years, and where tiioise Increase* were and what was responsible for them. He said that II la idle for the people to be complaining against the state over the state tax when, as a mat­ ter of fact, that Is a very small item In the actual tax levied. As a matter of fact, he said, the county of Barry actually paid In 1930 leva state tax than It did in 1921. This was due to the fact that other counties have grown far more rapidly, especially those having big industrial center* like Grand Rap­ ids. Flint. Pontiac and Detroit. Barry county gel* from the state primary fund almost us much a* tlie county­ pay* tlie state in taxes; and this pri­ mary sciiool money must all be used for the support of the schools. He warned hls hearers that, because of de­ creased earning*, the railroad*, tele­ phones. telegraphs, electric light and otiier public utility organizations will pay less in taxes hereafter so the pri­ mary school fund will be less in future year*—how much less no one can guess, but it l« certain to be considerably les* In view of the .>dtuallon it 1* up to lhe school boards of the state of Michigan to reduce expenditure* in every possible way. because Hwy will not have tlie help from the primary fund Hwy have had in previous year*. Hie speaker closed with an earnest a ppeal to hls hearers to urge upon their officers In school districts, townships, villages. dHc* and counties to cut pub­ lic expenditures to the very minimum, in order to give relief to the people. How /long Ural policy will have to be followed no one can tel) now; but it Li essential now that we do It. he de­ clared. in making tax levie* that peo­ ple cannot i>ay. which will have to be returned as unpaid taxes. Tlwreforv, the* thing to do U to reduce taxes to the lowest poruflblc limit. Mr. McPtwrson-* talk was a stralglUforward, timely address. We are sure, from the applause given him as well os the hearty applause given to Mr. Powell, that tire listeners appreciated what they said and approved It heart­ ily. At the close of the address the mas­ ter of ceremonies. Prosecutor BariwU. announced tliat the tug of war between rival teams representing Barry and Eatbn counties would take place In front ol the grandstand. It was an interest­ ing contest, which was won by the team from tills county. The final event on the program was a ball game between the Nashville Independents and the Dixie Oil Nine of Charlotte. Nashville won by a score of 0 to 2. known as the "Indian* Plan.'' to re* strict local expenditures and to prevent bond iwau.a for utuieccsaary project*, so us to save interest and paymenu on the principal in future years. Hie house had also passed the oleo bill: but thia was burled in a senate committee. Had this bill been enacted it would have helped the farmers. Mr. Powell highly complimented Congre.wnan Ketcham for tlie talk he gave to the members of the legislature favoring the oleomar­ garine bill, and the necessity for doing whatever Is possible for the benefit of agriculture. Another bill became a law. which Mr. Powell is sure will be a help to the farmer. It provides that hereafter the state of Michigan shall bear the ex­ pense of eradicating bovine tubercu­ losis. Tlie Eapie bill, which became a law, will require more butterfat In ice cream, which will benefit the dairy business. Another law. which Mr. Powell is sure the farmers ought to ap­ preciate. will greatly curtail the build­ ing of roads under the Covert, act. It requires that two-thlrd* of the board of .suiJcrvlsors must first approve before a Covert road can hereafter be built. Mr Powell explained that Michigan which had once been an agricultural stale, lias now become a manufacturing Mute We recognize tills in the business world; but the state-* taxation laws we have ore based on the ox team age. in­ stead of recognizing this a* the age of lhe automobile. An analysis shows that property bears 75 per cent of the en­ tire tax of Michigan It also shows that between 1910 and 1030 there had been a 700 per cent increase in taxation in tills state. This is out of all proportion to lhe Increase of the earning power of Uie people and Is an evidence of gov­ ernmental extravagance, This increase In taxation lias been carried to such an extreme that last year 25 ;>er cent of the total acreage of Michigan was re­ turned for taxes. The speaker expressed hls firm con­ viction tliat there is only one fair andjust way to support government; and tliat is by levying a tax on net incomes. He paid a lilgh tribute to Governor Brucker who. he said, is laboring against great odds to faithfully serve all tlie people of Michigan and to save taxpayers from excessive taxation Honorable Melvin 8. McPherson, state tax commissioner, was next In­ troduced by Mr. Barnett. He gave a timely talk. He prefaced his remarks by M^lng that, in hls Judgment, the townships and Ute smaller cities of Michigan have a real friend In the per­ son of Governor Brucker. They ought to appreciate him. for he Is surely la­ boring in their heiialf. Mr. McPherson highly commended tlie township highway bill which, he said, is a notable step In tlie direction of farm relief. He believes that its working will i»ove satisfactory to th<; township* and will mark lhe beginning of better rural highways, at far less co«t to tile taxpayer* of the townships Mr. McPherson called attention to, tlie fact that officer* who try to safe­ guard the taxpayers- interest ore not so ixiputar a* tivo&e- who urge the spending of the people's money. Tills I* the Ume when folks ought to listen to. and heed the advice of. those who ore trying t° lower taxation. Many a man who wouldn't accept Mr. McPherson stated that there have been two main sources of in­ any but a certified check, will trust Imcreased taxes in recent years—the pllcity In what Is printed on the label schools and the highways. He believes of a bottle. SCHOOLBOOKS AND SUPPLIES We can now supply you with all the school books you need for Junior High, either for city or country schools.

Many a factory could not operate without it. One of the most important — yet one of the cheapest. The cost of electric power is so low that if it were free, the average manufacturer could not make a three per cent reduction in the price of his commodities. Figures from tho last United States Census giving the cost for both fuel and electric power for such indus­ tries as food manufacture, lumber, paper, machinery, iron and steel, transportation, rubber, textiles, tobacco, wood products and the like show that the cost of electric power represents an average of only 3% of the total cost of making these products. In the home, too, Electricity is one of the most important ”Tools"— yet. one of the cheapest. Each year it serves in more ways, does more work, at rates averaging steadily lower. Average home electric rates in 1920 were 68% higher than they are today. . in the home . . . Electric Service is only 7% of the average family budget— yet one of the most helpful services CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY YOUR HEATING AND PLUMBING Problems Naturally come in for due consid­ eration at this season of the year.

It seemed almost as it — * ‘ and —■*care ----- --The — — paper feed registration they had been inspired in the writing of the immortal document which has challenged the world ever since its adoption and has made America fore­ most among the nations of the world. Tlieir Judgment was calm, cool and serious, as was fitting in the great ta-vk set before them. One of the outstanding things in re­ gard to the Constitution is lhe large number of propositions presented, but wliich were not adopted. For instance. Alexander Hamilton, acknowledged as lhe most brilliant man In lhe gatlwring, was opposed to having any but a strong national government. His propo­ sition was to do away with al] state, county, township nnd municipal gov­ ernment* and to leave the control and regulation ot all matters to the centrol government. Congressman Ketciiam called attention to the fact that we have now forty eight stale govern­ ments. three thousand county govern­ ments. forty-eight thousand township governments, thousands of village and city governments and well towards four hundred thousand school district governments. Our Congressman de­ clared that the trend of tilings at the present time is in the direction of Hamilton's proposition of ccntiallzed government, in order to save expense, reduce taxes and to have uniform laws throughout the entire land. Of the thirty-nine delegates, thirtyone were natives of this country, four were born in Ireland, two in England and one was born in the West IndiesAlexander Hamilton. Tliey were men of the highest integrity and character, men who had great experience in pub­ lic affairs, tnen who represented neaily every occupation. William Jackson was the secretary of the gathering. It was agreed among the members of the convention that their sessions and their debates would be kept absolutely secret. While Mr. Jackson kept the minutes and read them al the beginning of each day's session, so zealously did he keep them from outsiders that, when the conven­ tion ended and the finished document had been prepared, the records ol all the gatherings, debates and of ail the propositions considered by that body Again Studebaker re-affirmz disappeared altogether, and have never its performance leadership! been found.

Read and digest: There are 232.000 churthes in the United States with an enrolled mem­ bership of 44380.000. Has any other organization anything by comparison? In addition, there art lfl.000.000 chil­ dren to fill the ranks. Is there any oth­ er society with a peserve force as mighty as that? The church spends »851.000.000 an­ nually to benefit mankind. Does any­ thing else do os much for humanity? The number of churches corner, with­ in one-tepth of equaling the public schools. Does the reader know of any other body with such an amazing back­ ground? The Sunday School enrollment is but one-sixth smaller than the public school roster. Mull over that! Al the same time, remember the former is vol­ untary and Ute latter compulsory. Twenty cents of every church dollar is devoted to benevolence during nor­ mal times, and the figure is much higher in periods of stress. Has any oilier organization such a record? Tiie church census shows Christian­ ity is more than holding Its own. That can not be said of any other organiza­ tion—political, social or business No—emphatically no—the church is not dying and Christianity is not on the decline. Nothing with such a foundation can pass out of existence. The Golden Rule Is that foundation, and every church Is a school In which it Is more than taught—It Is lived.

Our school opened last Monday with an enrollment of 398 and when it opens again this week Tuesday it Is expected there will be several new faces. We were pleased last week to receive a call from tiie Hon. Charles A. Welssert and wife of Kalamazoo. Charles went north after trout. Of course we always knew he was a fisherman but this trip was a failure so far as trout were concerned, but they had a good outing. R. V. Nlel left Friday P. M. for Grand Rapids, accompanied by two of his daughters. They will drive to Ludington, where they took the boat for Green Bay, Wls„ where he has a daughter living. This will be a nice trip and surely an enjoyable time for them all. - They will return on Tues­ day. • Elijah Rounds will be 88 years young this week Saturday. He is down town every day and enjoys his joke as of old. A very spry man for one of his yean. He is one of our few remain­ ing Civil war veterans. Several of the late war boys are planning to attend the convention in Detroit the latter part of the month. Several Pythlans are planning to at­ tend tiie state convention in Kalama­ zoo September 16 and 17. Tiie grain threshing is done and there will be no bean threshing. Many of the farmers have turned their stock Into the bean fields to get what feed they can before seeding to fall grains. Tills is a hard blow to many a farmer who often relies upon the beans for his real cash crop. H. E. and Mrs. McConnell of Lan­ sing were callers here Friday P. M. They are always welcome to thc*old home town. Mrs. Van Galien, of north of town, broke both bones in her right wrist Saturday while attempting to crank her car. It seems doubly hard for her as there already are sick ones in the family. The sympathy of all is extend­ ed to the family. STRIKER SCHOOL DISTRICT.

Don't "kid" yourself any longer be honest with yourself and put this question squarely when your "earning days” are over what then? To become dependent when unable to work any longer is a tragedy... and life is filled with just such tragedies. The reason for most of the dependence is failure to SAVE while earning. There are more people saving today in America than ever before in its history. It has become popular to save! accounts in this bank for their chil­ dren .. . Men, women, boys and girls EVERYWHERE are starting savings accounts! Why not you ? Money-saving habits are taught in our schools Parents start small savings After all, SAVING is a habit a MIGHTY GOOD HABIT! and Let This Old, Four-Generation Bank Help You Form This Savings Habit!

Time spent In selecting seed com from the field before the com is killed by frost will help to eliminate the un­ desirable types of plants In next year's crop, according to the form crops de­ partment at Michigan State College. The plant which bears the ear of com furnishes at least 50 per cent of the Inherited characteristics possessed by the seed. and. if the com plant Is weak or diseased, it Is quite probable that the ear from that stalk will fur­ nish seed that will also produce un­ desirable plants. It Is Impossible to tell what kind of a plant produced an ear after the car has been separated from lhe stalk and husked. Field selections should be made when 50 per cent of the stalks have lost their green color and the early ma­ turing ears are well dented and hard. Such ears may have.lots of moisture in them but they will dry out without shrinking. Ears which are less fully developed will usually furnish seed that will grow but it Is difficult to dry such The tendency for com to smut varies greatly among individual plants. Some strains of corn plants have smutty cars and some have smut only on the tas­ sels or on portions of the stalk. Seed from smutty ears will produce plants which have the same tendency. be selected In a few hours, and the which will t<it and yield well. COUNTY LINE. J.

Two similar lots ot iiorses were used in the tcsU which extended over a per­ iod of a year. At limes, the feeds given to the two groui» of animals were Interchanged to make sure that a falFtfla! would be .made Of Ute" merit* of alfalfa hay. The horses were weighed periodically to check whether the ra­ tions were maintaining the animal's body weight while they were doing heavy work. Tiie group of horses which were fed alfalfa made an average gain ot 21 pounds per animal during the year while the lot which received timothy lost an average of 17 jxiunds per ani­ mal.

During 1930 •hdrtdfy wm •xtende'd Io 74 Michigan towns previously without the comforts and conveniences which electricity brings. Less than 200 Michigan towns of 100 inhaoitanh or more are without electric service. Those, however, are in isolated sections out of reach of present transmission lines.

Since 1920, this Company has expended over. $ 100,000,000 for wages and materials on add!tions and improvements to the property— right here in Michigan —to extend service to hundreds of communities, to connect thousands of users, to improve service to new and old customers. And through it all, the average rate for electric service in the home has steadily lowered. It wa» 68% higher in 1920 than now—and today does more things, more work at leu cost, than ever before.

Even the humblest room may be rich in it* reflection of refined taste Everyone will agree that it is neces­ sary to give attention to harmonious fiurroundlngs because of the Influence they have on the character and atti­ tudes of an individual. Not everyone can engage an expert to plan such surroundings but each per­ son rich and poor alike can study the principle* of correct decoration and apply them to their individual circum­ stances. Practical suggestions will be given for utilizing materials already In the home*. A worn-out or very comfortable old chair may be covered by a slip­ cover so that it can be used along with newer furnishings. Old chairs and couches may easily be recovered with inexpensive material* in beautiful colors that may be chosen to har­ monize with various color schemes. There will be a discussion on the ap­ preciation of fine old pieces of furni­ ture and the method* of reflnlshing them to bring out the loveliness of the natural wood. A study of life selection, making and hanging of curtains in re­ lation to the room will be helpful to many who have a problem of replacing some worn-out curtains. iTovtelon will be made for the women to learn how to choose pictures for different rooms, how to frame and how to hang them Miss Reis believes tiiat this course in Home Improvement will make avail­ able to every homemaker those things which are not dependent upon Income but which bring satisfaction to indlvidual and family life.

It will certainly | been iilndered this season by rain­ storms and there has been plenty of help obtainable, so that good progress has been made. The Banner has explained that the Kellogg Foundation, besides giving one-third of the original estimate^ cost of the building, has since contributed *15.000 for an addition which will give four more school rooms. Beside that they are doing other things which will make thc Foundation's contribution about equal to that which the taxpay­ ers of ti»e district themselves will pay. They surely have been fine about it. We learn that so far 450 have en­ rolled to attend the new consolidated school. The capacity of the building is 500. Several pupils from outside the consolidated district have applied and others are giving notice they expect to apply. It Is believed that, by the time thc new building Is opened, the 500 pu- ; pits will be there. There are other dis • ‘ trlcts considering the question of union with the consolidated district. If they should do so the school would be over­ crowded. • We arc confident that tlie people of Thornapple township and the outside! districts that belong will be more Ilian pleased with their new school.

Mrs. Surine told how Mi's. Rlten­ burgh and her daughter Velma came to her home Tuesday ot last week at about one-thirty in the morning, and aroused the Surines. 81* related that Mn. Rltenburgh had said that the and her husband hud been quarreling all night and that her son Norris had shot her husband. She asked thc Surinet to call Deputy Sheriff Karl Paul, which Mr. Surine did. Mrs. Surine stated that while the had not been much acquainted with Mr. Rltenburgh, she knew he must be a vio­ lent tempered man because the saw him at one time beat a cow almost to death with a 2x4 timber. Deputy Sheriff Karl Faul. Deputy Sheriff Faul was the next witness. He said that Mr. Surine had called him al about one-thirty Tuesday morning of last week; that he al once telephoned Sheriff Leonard, who promptly came to Woodland, and the two reached the Rltenburgh home in about a half hour after he had been summoned by Surine. Deputy Faul said that, when he ar­ rived. the mother and the children were all sitting tn lhe parlor. On the floor of the room was the dead body of Rltenburgh. HU head was near thc opening to the bedroom, with ills feet in the sitting room. There was a rifle standing near the buffet in the.dining room. The whole left side of Rlten­ burgh's head was blown away by the force of lhe bullet. He went to Surine's. al the request of the Sheriff, and called Coroner Adrounle. also undertaker Fay Wing of Woodland. He said that Norris told him that ho had shot his father and he didn't know as lie ought to have done it. but he believed that his father fully in­ tended to kill his mother. Sheriff George Leonard. Sheriff Leonard was the next wit­ ness. He said tiiat. when lie arrived with Deputy Faul. the family were all in thc living room. There was no light except an oil lamp on lhe dresser in the bedroom adjoining. He stated that Norris said that he Stood about four feet into the sitting room from the dining room when he shot hU father He said Mr* Rltenburgh .claimed that she and her husband went to bed at about ten o'clock that night. The children were upstairs In bqd and had been asleep for some time. She said that her husband was in a quarrelsome mood. They quarreled until after mid­ night. when he Insisted that they both go upstairs and get the children, which they did after the children had dressed. All of them relumed to the bedroom, where they remained for about twenty minutes while the father continued his accusations against his wife. Rltenburgh. .so the family claimed, then told the children to go back to bed. but to take a look at their mother before doing so and say anything they wished to say to her then, "because be­ fore nine o'clock tomorrow she will be dead." The children begged him not to do this. That seemed to make him worse and he decided that he might as well end it now and started for the bedroom door, it waa believed to get his rifle Co shoot his wife and himself. But Norris got lhe rifle from the dining room flint, stepped into the siting room into which his father was just coming from the bedroom, and ordered his father to throw up his hands. His father not only didn't do it. but told the boy to "Let 'er go," which the boy did. This was the story told by tlie mother and children, the Sheriff said After a while tlie oldest son Lyle came. All the family said the father had been drinking heavily of late and that he was much under thc Influence of liquor that night. From various members of the family the Sheriff said he learned that thc father iiad been arrested and convicted for shoot­ ing deer illegally; that he had also been arrested and convicted for steal­ ing oats; tiiat he had also been arrest­ ed and twice jailed for making moon­ shine, and that the federal authorities had arrested him and sent him to Leavenworth for more titan a year for violating the federal liquor law. After the arrival of Lyle, the Sheriff said he investigated and found a still belonging to Rltenburgh on a neigh­ boring farm and also found six or seven gallons of moonshine. He found a good­ sized batch of liquor there and some near the house. He believes Rltenburgh had been selling some ot the liquor.

Adrounle, coroner, corrob­ orated Sheriff Leonard and Deputy Sheriff Faul In regard to conditions as he found them in lhe Rltenburgh home when he visited it on Tuesday morning last week. He said there was no other wound on thc elder Rltenburgh except that from the bullet. Dr. Adrounle said he could not tell wivether Rltenburgh was drunk or not at the time tlie tragedy occurred or im­ mediately before that time, but there was a pronounced smell of alcohol about the body. Keith Rltenburgh. This witness stated that he was eleven years old. That on the night of the tragedy lie slept upstairs as did his younger brother and older brother Nor­ ris. He said tiiat on Monday he and his father and Norris cut corn on their place, that about four o'clock that afternoon lie took the borrowed corn cutter home and that Dad and Norris took the car and went somewhere, and when he returned after delivering tlie cutter to the owner the others had fin­ ished their supper and that he then ate his own supper. He said he went to bed as usual about nine o'clock and that some time after midnight his father and mother came upstairs and his father "ordered us all to dress and come down stairs, which we did. He was subject to angry spells. When we got down stairs mother sal on lhe side of the bed and they talked, but prin­ cipally my fattier, for several minutes. He said that mother didn't love him any more and tiiat everybody and everything was against him and that he was going to end it all. Just before the shooting father said to us we had better look at mother and tell her anything we wanted to because we would never see her alive again after tomorrow morning. "Father was a good shot with the rifle and I surely believe that he was going to kill mother and himself. We all cried except Norris. Then father said. "I might as well finish it now," and started towards the opening between the bedroom, where we had all been, and the silting room. Norris left the room before he did. Father was moving toward the rear of the silling room when Norris pointed a gun at him and said "Hold up your hands Dad, don't go a step farther." Father replied. "Let ’er go" and started towards Norris. There was the report of thc gun and Dad fell to the floor. He corroborated the other members of the family as to what occurred after the shooting. x Mrs. Rltenburgh. This witness stated she married Ed­ mund Rltenburgh eighteen years ago and. lhat they had five children and married. She said her husband had been arrested for violating the deer law. stealing oats, had been jailed twice for making moonshine and had been sent to Leavenworth for over a Mrs. Rltenburgh said that mentally and physically after his experience at Leavenworth he seemed a greatly changed man. They were then living In Roecommon county. Mra. Rltenburgh said that her hus­ band had threatened to kill her several times, but never before that Tuesday morning had he fixed a time when he proposed to do It. She said that she had no other idea than that he proposed to kill her Just as be said. She said that they had gone to bed about ten o'clock after the children were upstairs and in bed and that he had continually quarreled with her. That he had arisen and dressed and then undressed three times. The last time he ordered her "to call the chil­ dren and followed me telling tne he was going to kill me, and that if I wanted to see them alive I should call them." As they were coming down stairs she whispered to Norris that she was afraid of the rifle which sire believed was loaded and stood by the buffet in the dining room. She told Norris where it was. She corroborated what Keith had said os to what her husband had said in the bedroom after they all went in there and that he proposed to kill her and kill himself. She then stated that he had ordered the children to go back to bed qid he himself started to go towards the opening into the sitting room saying "I may as well finish it now." I thought he was going after the rifle. When I got to the foot of the bed I heard Nor- just taking another step towards Nor­ ris when he waa shot.

Norris stated that he did what he did to protect the life of his mother and Hint he had no re­ vengeful feelings towards his father at the time. He said his father had-struck his older brother and had also hit his younger brother at one lime, but he never struck him.

Wlicn a crime 1* commit-! ted In Canada the police force of tiie cities and of the different province* hunt the criminal and usually get him. They know where to go after him. When he is 'found lie is |>romptiy brought to trial. If he 1* convicted he gets what the law prescribe*. and the law ha* teeth in It. He knows there U no hope of leniency, for they do not believe in paroling or pardoning. A i man who breaks the law in Canada I lakes what is coming without any 'Ifs' or 'and*' about It. That is why Canads la comparatively free from lawlessI ncaa, while wc have plenty of It on this aide of the border. I Borne time we will have a legislature I in Michigan that will have sense and backbone enough to take law enforce­ ment entirely out of politic* and have prosecuting attorneys and judges up• pointed because of their ntnew. so that tiieir only concern wMl be upholding the law.

And here is something else worthy of your thought There is jqst as much difference in the quality and cleanliness of milk as there is- in any other . food. But every drop of milk that you buy from the Highlands Dairy, comes from healthy, high-grade, meadow-fed cows, regularly inspected by a veterin­ arian for “TB” and the germs that produce undulent fever. The special atten* tion that our milch cows receive; the clean and sanitary surroundings in which they arc kept, has given Highlands Dairy the distinction of being the only one in this section permitted to selk-Grade “A" milk—either raw or pasteurized.

Its population during the last ten years increased 32%. Only two other states exceeded this growth, California and Rorida. Consumers Power Company has kept step with Michigan. It has never failed to meet all demands made upon it. .V/a+br power alone could not »erve these public needs. The supply is not sufficient, and as large steam power plants reach new effici­ encies and economies of design — water power becomes less important. Hence, the Company must build and maintain large steam power plants to supplement the water power front the Au Sable, Manistee, Muskegon and other Michigan riven. These steam plants are also necessary as reserves in periods of low water. The drought of 1930 required heavy operation of these steam power stations. About 65% of the power sold during the year by the Company was generated by steam. Despite fffe unusi^lly severe drought and its effect on stream flow, no customer and no industry was at any time without all the power needed.

SON Hastings, Michigan “Why My Next Car will He A FORD” When yon buy a Ford there are two things you never have to worry about. One is reliability. The other is long life. Here’s an interesting letter from a Ford owner in North Carolifta: “My Ford was parths ted May 8, 1928, and has been run 121,767 miles. Il has never stopped on the road lor repairs of any kind what­ soever except punctures. “The brakes were relined at 101,000 miles. My gas mileage aver­ aged 21 miles to lhe gallon, and on tires, 19,000 miles per tire. I travel over all kinds of road condition*—mountainous and flat. “I consider this a wonderful record and I assure you my next car will also be a Ford." < This is juat one of many tributes to the reliability and long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in Iowa tella of driving hia Ford 73,000 miles in a single year. Another writes of 120,000 miles of good service. . Think ahead when yon are considering the purchase of an automobile and consider what it will be like after thou­ sands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied?- Will you still say “it’s a great car”? If it’s a Ford, you know everything will be 0. K. It will be taking you there and back in good style, just as it has always done. And you will have saved many important, worth-while dollars in cost of operation and up-keep and low yearly depreciation. HFTBEN BOBV TYPES ’430 ™’64O F.O.B. Detroit, plut freight and delivery.

In the basement rooms. * which are light and airy, fine quarters are fitted up for the health work in the school with recitation room, a place for the doctor and another for the dentist, a place for the development of X-ray pictures and will care for all the para­ phernalia needed to carry on modem health work. For the regular work of the school large, light, airy rooms are being .pre­ pared that will surely be a joy to the scholars and a help as well as an in­ spiration to them to do their best work. The building will be thoroughly fire proof, will be beautifully lighted and has hot-air heating system with venti­ lating fans which, it is believed, will meet the needs of each room no mat­ ter what the temperature.

THE RUMOR-MONGER. In his talk on banking before the Kiwanls club Joseph H Brewer called attention to the folly of listening to empty rumors, passed from tongue to tongue, about our financial institutions and cited the case of his own corres­ pondent bank in New York. Advice re­ ceived by him urged him to withdraw hl* funds from that bank, tlie Chatham and Phenix. He gave them no atten­ tion. Some time later the New York bank notified him that these criminal rumors had been traced to their source and an indictment obtained against one of the persons charged with having started the whispering campaign. If convicted he will be subject to fine and imprisonment. The bank as a matter of fact had 878.000.000 in immediately realizable cash and bonds against 8191,000.000 of deposits. It required courage for the New York bank to bring the rumors out In the open by taking a case into court, but it is a sort of courage many American banks should be summoning. There is no more despicable or dangerous crim­ inal than the man who will start or pass uninvestigated rumors about the soundness of an Institution carrying tlie savings of thousands of individuals and responsible for. the credit—and hence the industry and employment— of a large part of the community.— Grand Rapids Press. THE IMPERISHABLE PIE Though not much success attended the attempt to salve Caligula's galleys from the mud in which their remain* rested at the bottom of Lake Nemi. a more presentable and equally authentic fragment of Imperial Rome has Just been seen at Budapest. The recipe for a game pie. which l* said to have been a favorite of the Emperors Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, was recently dis­ covered among some Roman records, and Reuter tells us that a pie ha* been prepared according to these instructlons and served at an hotel in Buda­ pest. The name of Marcus Aurelius may reassure them; with him high thinking seems to have been linked with com­ paratively plain living. The recipe for hl* favorite pie begins by instructing the cbok to take <in English weights) a pound and a half of wild boar meat, the flesh of a pheasant, and the legs of a suckling pig. Ox tongue, ham. olives, and peppers are other ingredi­ ents. and the whole structure was held together with five pint* of stock "clari­ fied with eggshells and. strengthened with gelatine” and then decorated with truffle*. It seems a curious thing that It should be possible to prepare and eat today such a pie as might have been laid before the Antotffnes. The gal­ leys go. tlie pictures crumble, the statues are shattered. But when once the recipe is re-discovered, the pie emerges none the worse for some 1800 years of history.—Manchester Guard­ ian.

A Quotation feeding stations are being planted in the public waters of the state. Planting of these fingerlings, many of which are of legal size, does not take place until after the close of the trout fishing season. This year's plant of fingerlings is ex­ pected to be tlie largest in the history of the Fish Division of the Conserva­ tion Department. There was a con­ siderable loss earlier In the tempera­ ture of’the water in the feeding no­ tions. but feeding facilities were great­ er this year than ever before, more than counterbalancing the loss. Low water levels in most of the streams along which the feeding sta­ tions are located, had little effect on tlie productions of trout fingerlings ac­ cording to the Fish Division. Michigan's "pearl fisheries" have never been known tor their wealth, but there are scores of men working along the streams of the southern peninsula who have a constant hope of making the "big catch.” According to the Department of Conservation, which has supervision over the mussel industry of the statq. scores of persons who purchase licenses to take clams, do so primarily with the hope of obtaining pearl*. Some clammer* have that same hope of a "big find” that a gold miner has when he pans a stream No pearls of any great importance are known to have ever been taken in Michigan waters, although numerous small pearls are taken every year.

Authorities Urge Farmers to Burn Remaining Stalks In Spring Tlw coming of rains In September will make it desirable for many farm­ ers to do fall plowing. Advices from Lansing are to the ellect that mlns will be quite general throughout the state The Lansing authorities urge farmers in plowing up their corn stubbie to do a thorough Job of It. covering the old stalks completely in the fall plowing. The Extension Department states that if fall and spring plowing of corn lots is done ns it should lie and all the litter plowed under, the prospects for any serious trouble from corn borer will be removed. . If the cum stalks arc fed without being shredded then the remaining stalks ought to be burned next spring because if there are any com borers \ they are in these stalks and they find thair way out and will do a lot of harm. If stalks are shredded practically all the worms will be killed or If corn fodder is put Into a silo it kills the worms. By good work in plowing and in taking care of the stalks farmers can rid themselves of any infestation of corn borers. • . . .YOUR CHOICE for- 98c Have You Seen Them?

The report for the year aljo disclosed that 67 associa­ tions had passed through the second year of the depres­ sion without a single failure that was attributable to de­ pressed conditions. Commenting on this fact at the recent meeting of the State League, at Benton Harbor, Secretary H. T. Donaldson said “that the basic principles of Build­ ing and Loan are sound is home out by the fact that not an association, doing a real building and loan business has failed during the period.” (Two years). One association was closed by the State Department during the year. This association was not operating according to State Law. T First mortgages on homes, generally considered the answer to questions regarding building and loan stability, represented 87 per cent of the resources of the associa­ tions. The total of these loans was $146,248,944.80.

Waters & Son The Better Store for Men" Fire Waite In United States Exceeds That of Any Other Nation This is fire prevention week and it is well that the attention of the people shall be focused upon that subject. America's loos of property due to pre­ ventable fires la frightfully large and wholly unjustified. The fire waste of the United States la known to exceed that of any other nation. Why Ulla should be Is the sub­ ject of much speculation. Tlie charge ful than other nations. Most of us will agree that there te some baste of truth In the charge. The laws of other coun­ tries, particularly European nations, are such os to place a much greater respotydblllty upon the Individual. In France the person responsible for a preventable fire Is punishable by law. In this country the situation Is In no way ebmparable. Certain powers are delegated to state officials which, for ’ the greater part, are concerned with public safety. Fire prevention ordi­ nances and building codes, which have a very helpful effect, are laws In moat communities. But. generally speaking, there Is no such thing as personal liability legislation. There does, how­ ever seem to be s trend In that dlreclion. There Is little doubt but that the In­ dividual besponslbUlty required by foreign laws and sentiment is a lead­ ing factor in the lower fire losses prevalent abroad. A recent report disof London was only 75c as compared with 84.07 for the United States last year. Per capita losses of other foreign cities are: 15c for Stuttgart, Germany; 81.08 for Manchester, England; 19c for Bordeaux. France; 28c for Osaka. Japan; and 28c for Venice. Italy. CUT APPROPRIATIONS. Dear Editors: 'The taxpayers of Barry county are all trying to figure out Just where the money is coming from to meet the next year's budget that is about to be levied by the board of supervisors. Never before have ■ unfavorable weather and low prices conspired to banteh profits from the farms. Such widespread unemployment has never been equaled. Scores ot farmers have not paid their taxes in * other years. What will they do this year! This trying hour calls for statesmanship and patriotism of the highest order. It must be exercised by the board of auIH-rvUors. and all appropriations not: absolutely necessary must be turned1 down. Jfconomy at every point must be the watahword if we iurvlve.-Retltlonj to this effect art being circulated. AU public spirited leaders should lend a hand and use their influence to have the lax burden reduced. Let us be con­ tent with what roads we have, and spend the gas and weight tax to main­ tain them. We know that these are the sentiments of at least M per cent of the Barry county taxpayers. Charles W. Baughman. PENNOCK HOSPITAL. Itadults. three babies and two hospital today. Wednesday.

CELEBRATE FORTY-FIFTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. The spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

The event was also the forty-fifth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Otis who were present, also of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Otis, all three couples being married together just forty-five years ago. The evening was spent with visiting and games, after which light refreshments were served. Il Is needless to say all present enjoyed a very pleasant and enjoyable evening, returning home at a late hour wishing them many more pleasant anniver­ saries. IMPORTANT JURY CASE NOW BEING HEARD HERE It Qrew Out of the Automobile Accident Near Country Olub Last May A jury civil case will start here today In circuit court, that of Richard Schaddelee of Grand Rapids vs. C. T. Cordes of this city. The jury has been summoned and the case will probably start this afternoon, possibly before. This case grew out of tlie accident, which we described at the time, when Mr. Schaddelee, driving a big Cadillac car, turned out to avoid hiding the automobile which Mr. Cordes was drivalnto the highway from the Country grounds. It occurred Just where the roadway from the Country club joins the Freeport road. Mr. Schaddelee's car ran into the fence, separating the house which formerly belonged to Calvin Bancroft from the Country club grounds; also tore through the fence and damaged the house Itself. The amount of damage to the house has been agreed upon by the attorneys. The question Is: who shall pay It, also who shall pay tlie damage to the Schaddelee automobile, which was seriously damaged? It Is the claim of Mr. Schaddelee that the responsibility for the accident should be placed upon Mr. Cordes. Cordes is equally emphatic that It was caused by the excessive speed at which Mr. Schaddelee waa driving his The contest is probably between in­ surance companies, to determine which one will have to stand the damage to Mr. Bchaddelce’s car and to the forrner Bancroft residence property now occopied by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Leins. Each of tlie insurance companies Is represented by attorneys and the case will be well tried and closely contested, no doubt. 8OUTIIWE8T RUTLAND.

Lane was asked to stay in Uie same room with him. as he seemed lo be able to con­ trol the older man. After Jones had gone lo bed Wednesday night. Lane retired and locked the door on Uie In­ side and hid the key. so that if Jones got up he would not be able to get away. Il appears that Jones did start to leave the room but found the door locked. It is believed that lie became incensed at Lane for having locked tlie door, for he seised a large metal pail and began to belabor Lane over the head with it. He never said a word be­ fore starting lo do this. Lane was un­ able to quiet him. When he could not resist him any longer he yelled for help. L. A.

There is a "reckless driving" clause in the law, which makes it a misdemeanor to operate a motor boat In a reckless manner or at excessive speed so as to endanger the lives or property of any persons, also that the motor boat operator must have due regard for'the presence of other boats, bathers, persons engaged In fishing or to any objects in or on tlie water. Tlie law makes II unlawful to o|>eratc a motor boat at such a speed as will not permit the operator to stop within the assured clear dis­ tance ahead. One hour before sunrise and for an hour after sunset these boats must be equipped with a light on the bow. which can be plainly dis­ tinguished at a distance of five hun­ dred feet. Naturally tills law being a new one and not Interpreted by legal authority, has not been rigidly enforced during the past season, as It should have been; but now chat Its provisions are belter understodl. and after they have been Interpreted by the attorney general's department, there would seem to be no reason why deputy conservation officers shall not gel after and protect resorts and resorters from the nuis­ ances caused by the carelessness, or dangerous speed and Uie disturbing noises usually noticed in connecUon with these boats.

AGENTS MAKE A FINE RECORD Add Nearly >5,000,000 of New Insurance for Month of September The agents of the Michigan Mutual Windstorm Insurance Company hung up a fine record for September, when they added 84.930345 of new insurance for that one month. In view of the ad­ verse financial situation, we think this a splendid showing for the company. It will be remarkable indeed if the com­ pany can get through this year without a drop in the total of Insurance in force. The Windstorm Company must have a mighty good corps ot agents; and the agents know that they are backed by a splendid company. That must account for nearly five millions of new Insurance in the month of Sep­ tember. It seems too much to expect. In view of financial conditions, that the company can get through without a loss ih the total of Insurance In force: but the company's agents are deter­ mined to put up the best kind of a fight to prevent any such low and. judging by what they did tn August and September. It would seem more than likely that they will win out. The host of friends of the company every­ where will wish them success.

October 27. ha* been set aside as Navy Day—a time to bring facts about the navy before the people. This day is the anniversary of the birth of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was one of the greatest friends the navy ever had. Also October is the month in which the American navy was founded in 1773 by the Con­ tinental Congress. Our navy was originated in the stress of the Revo­ lutionary war. but it ha* helped pre­ serve the enUty and Independence of the United State* in that and every succeeding war. However war service is but a part of the duties of the navy. It* peace time work is of equal im­ portance and keeps the navy occu­ pied in constructive activity, further­ ing our commerce, advancing and maintaining national improvements and giving help in time of disaster. Plana for Michigan's* observance of Navy Day have been completed, and each military, patriotic and civic or­ ganization is asked to Join in observing the occasion.

CONFESSES STEALING HAY FHOM NEIGHBOR Sheriff Found Liquor Also When He Inspected the Premises / Arthur L. King, of Yankee Springs, was brought to the jail here Wednes­ day of last week on a charge of steal­ ing alfalfa hay from a neighbor. It seems that King originally hailed from Chicago but has been living in a cottage at Payne lake. He has a lot of rabbit* and it wa* suspected by this neighbor for some time that his hay was being liberally used a* rabbit feed; so the Sheriff visited the King premises and discovered a quantity of the hay in King's garage, which he confessed tak­ ing from this neighbor. The Sheriff al­ so found, in searching the premises, sixty half pint bottles of home brew. He had no evidence of sale but con­ fiscated the beer. HARD TIME DANCE. RECEIVED NO MONEY FROM BARRY COUNTY TAXPAY. ERS LAST YEAR DID MAINTENANCE WORK AND LAID 13 MIS. PAVING A Splendid Record Which They Hope to Duplicate During the Coming Year We believe there will be much satis­ faction in Barry county with the an­ nual report made by the Barry County Road Commission for (lie year ending. October 1. 1B31. In that time the com­ mission did not receive one cent of tax money from the people of Barry coun­ ty. All they received came from the state or from sources that did not call upon the county for any cash. During the year the commission maintained the roads of the county— and so far a* we have heard there has been general satisfaction expressed with the manner In which that was done. Beside* the regular maintenance work, the commission laid, after Octo­ ber 1 last year and before the winter set In. a little over three miles of black­ top surfaced road, beginning at the1 south county line and extending north­ ward through Hickory Comers, on the1 Delton-Hickory Corners county road Aside from this they built this year,1 within the year covered by their report,’ a little over ten miles of Tarmac high­ way In four stretches In Woodland. Carlton, Irving and Thornapple town­ ships. All of this resurfacing with black-top has been paid for out of Ute receipts of the commission during the year which ended October 1. Not only has the commission done the maintenance work on the county's more than 200 miles of highway, and paid for 13 1-2 miles of black-top sur­ faced road in addition, but what is especially significant is the fact that at the end of the year the commission had a little better than 38,000 more (Continued on page two) OVER FIVE HUNDRED WOMEN ARE ENROLLED To Receive Second Lesson In Home Furnishings From Miss Gertrude Reis Miss Gertrude Reis.

It ler While It Is generally understood that the last legislature passed a tew under which township road* will be taken over by tiie county road commission of each county, the provisions of lhe new law are not so well understood. For­ mer state highway commissioner. Frank F Roger*, who 1* now Ute con­ sulting engineer for the state highway department, is the author of a pam­ phlet explaining the provision* of the townsidp road tax relief tew. passed by the last legislature and which will become effective in 1932. A brief outline of Mr. Rogers' explanation of the new tew follows: The act authorize* lhe consolidation of township and county road systems, providing that in each of five year* beginning In 1932 and ending In 1936 each county will take over for main­ tenance twenty per cent of township rood mileage until at tlr end of five year* every road in each county will be a part of the county system. Each successive year beginning with 1932 the townships will be relieved of oncnflh of the township road mileage. In Ingliam county It lias been de­ termined that mileage of township roods not upon the. county road sys­ tem amounts to 619 mile*. Thus, in 1932 the county must take over about 124 mile* to maintain and that each year another 124 miles must be added. Under lhe provisions of thl* act the township* will no longer engage In highway work and will not need to levy a township highway tax. which In many townships, lias proved burden­ some. The tew provides that the roads shall be taken over before April 1 Of each year, subject to the approval of the stoU highway commissioner, and defines which roads shall have prefer­ ence in the order of taking over. Un­ der lhe provisions of the oct. all road* taken over must connect with the county road system. state trunk line system or main city or village streeta. but preference shall be given to rural post roads and so far as possible un­ der these limitations, roads of heaviest travel shall come first. Thus if tiie choice Is between two mail routes, the one of heavier travel shall be taken over first..or If the choice Is between a mall route of heavy travel. tlw heavy traveled rood should have preference. To help reimburse tiie counties of the state for lhe maintenance of the roads taken over from the townships tiie state has made appropriations r 17 ale :ed itil PRAIRIEVILLE.

Each county ! In 1932 win receive a gross sum equal to Its total township road mileage multiplied by the exact rate per town­ ship road mile as finally determined by the state highway commissioner. ■Die revenue provided by the act shall first be used for the maintenance of the roads taken over. If there are any funds remaining the county rfiad commissions may use the balance a* a construction fund. However, it is probable that In nearly every heavilypopulated coqnty that county fund* will have to be used for construction. By maintenance of the road* taken over from the townships, the law is explained as meaning that the road* shall be put tn a reasonable condition for public travel Including width of grade, drainage, drainage structure* and surface, as will permit of reason­ ably economical maintenance, consid­ ering the kind and amount of travel over such roods. Mr Roger* point* out that the act is looked upon a* a real “township road tax relief bin" and has limited the gross amount of township road taxes that may now be levied, viz: ten mills <road repair and road Improve­ ment! to one-half that amount In 1932, four-tenths of that amount in 1933 and three-tenths of that amount In 1934 and each year thereafter.

Blaylock, 53, owner of the Doniphan, Naylor & Neelyville Telephone System in Butler and Ripley Counties, was killed August 22 when a tire blew out, throwing his automobile into a ditch near here. J Just another tragedy wrought by the grim skeleton which rides at the wheel of every car using over-worn tires! Today’s automo­ bile will withstand a 25-mile-an-hour col­ lision; it can stand a severe jolt as long as it stays on its wheels, but when it turns over, somebody is hurt. At modem high speeds, the steering wheel is tom from the grasp when the tire blows, and the car catapults to death. Deaths resulting directly from tire punc­ tures and blowouts in 1930 in the U. S. totaled 442, and injuries from similar causes, 4,764. Tires having insufficient tread to prevent skidding on slippery and icy highways caused * 6,533 deaths last year and injury to 185,728 motorists. ----- 1 GOOD TIRES ARE SAFETY INSURANCE Bre$tone Tires Have extra cord plies for ex­ tra service and extra safety at no extra cost.

WHO SAYS OIL HEAT COSTS MONEY! Take a look at the price of this oil burner. And remember oil is the cheapest in its history "Take lhe piano, the radio, the electric refrigerator, even take the car BUT LEAVE ME MY OIL BURNER!"

You .cannot get good milk from scrubby, scrawny cows that are not regularly inspected, are not fed a balanced ration, and are cooped up in unsanitary places, and surrounded with filth. Milk is a natural carrier of disease germs, and quickly absorbs taints of any kind. This is the reason why we have gone to the large expense of completely remodeling our bams and stables and Installing the very latest sanitary equipment. 1 Our aim is to produce the BEST and "CLEANEST’ Milk possible. We have been so successful at it that the Highlands Dairy is the only one in this section that is permitted to sell Grade “A” Milk. There isn't a place in the country that we know of, where Grade "A" Milk is being sold at aa low a price as we are selling It . . That is why so many housewives are using Highlands Dairy Grade "A" Milk. There is no more balanced or complete food she can buy. Nor is there any that matches it in cheapness.

With Rightway you can throw rubbish in the lire door. It inciner­ ates right on the grates el the heat­ ing plant. With most oil burners these grates must be replaced by brickwork,to provide a refractory for the flame. But Rightway is an advanced oil burner. Its refractory is built into the burner. It's a self-contained, complete oil burner, ready to run when it leaves the factory. So, when we install H, we leave your heating plant just exactly as it was before. We don't re­ move a grate, fire door or anything else. Hence, the grates make a perfect incinerator. Let us tell you more about this great ttiftt burner. It is listed as standard by all Boards of Safety, approved by 4 famous uni­ versities, tested and approved by leading muniopal engineers. Mra.

And the Red Crass Is adding to that record all the time, not only In days of service, but in the multitude and varieties of serv­ ice. As Irvin Cobb has said, "we do not like to think of the. Red Cross as a charily, but as a going concern with a keen brain to plan and skilled fingers to execute Rs corporate activities;'' and it is just because of these quali­ ties that whenever there is a big humanitarian task lo be done, we im­ mediately call upon the Red Crass as the organization best fitted, always willing, and In all particulars the one to do that task.As members of this great body.

STARTING FRIDAY, NOVEMBER THIRTEEN A COMPLETE LINE OF SHOE AND RUBBER VALUES FOR ALL THE FAMILY. Boys’ School Shoes Red cross Is -------------------------- ,--------everywhere, but people do need to be; reminded at the Roll Call and urged to | pay their dollar or metre for a mem-' bershlp. Due to the severe drouth and the economic conditions, the calls for as-j ststanoe this year wiU doubtless exceed those of any other year and the local Chapter will continue Its helpful serv-1 ice in Barry county. During the past year there have been many calls for help here al home and a goodly sum hu been paid out for this purpose. John Barton Payne, national chair­ man ot the Red Cross says: "Consistent with Ils Charter the Red Cross hu developed and adhered to the following principles: < 1 > the Red Cross distinguishes between distress re­ sulting from 'natural' and 'economic' causes; <2» it does not duplicate lhe work of other agencies; <3> Chapters undertake general relief work only where other agencies are Inadequate and where the financial support for such work Is provided locally. Where there is suffering and want from any cause and the fundamental local needs are not being met. Chapters may par­ ticipate in the community plans for meeting the need. "Natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, fires, ctc^ affect a limited territory and disrupt the normal pro­ cesses of living and by their very na­ ture demand that relief measures be concentrated in one agency. They leave the greater part of the country unaf­ fected. which is thus able and- glad to contribute the necessary relief funds. On lhe other hand, needs arising from widespread economic situations affect the whole country and each locality is burdened with meeting Its own prob­ lems. Many other private organizations, and public relief agencies supported by municipal, county and state taxation, deal with segments of the present need. I No one agency could supplant these many agencies and successfully deal with all phases of Ute situation. "’Through the combined efforts of the Chapters and the National Organiza­ tion, the Red Cross meets the re­ sponsibility for relief of natural dis­ asters aa Imposed by its charter. The Chapters and Utelr Branches, covering lhe entire country, are able to take their appropriate place in their local communities in meeting general eco­ nomic distress. "The drought relief work of 1930-31; the relief now being extended follow­ ing last summer's drought, principally in Montana and North Dakota; the as­ sistance which is being given to ex­ service men and their families; and the part which several hundred Chapters are taking locally in their commu­ nities' relief measures are activities of the Red Cross, national and local, which have met and are meeting some uatlon. "The present situation demands a maximum degreee of intelligence and tlie cooperative effort In every com­ munity of all public and private agencies."

LONG LIFE HE HUMAN body is the most mavelous and the most complicated ma­ chine that nature has built. Each part of our anatomy needs its spe­ cial food. It is easy to overfeed one part and underfeed another. T Good CLEAN milk is the most complete food that nature gives us. That is why doctors, almost as a unit, prescribe it for every diet—for old and' young, for sick and well.

Money In the early days of our country, the white settlers used to trade tobacco to the Indians for valuable furs. Trad­ ing was a common means of exchange at that time. Today, when the wife or daughter wants ‘‘furs,’’ fur coats, etc., it is not "tobacco” that is required to secure them—it’s MONEY. In practically every business transaction throughout the world of commerce today, it is not tobacco, wool, wheat, cotton, or any other commodity that is required to make the exchange for clothing and all the comforts, con­ veniences and luxuries of life—r—It is MONEY. The Indians in those days, had no use for money—To­ day everybody requires money. In order to have money one must save a part of one’s income—whether that income is the result of daily toil in office or shop—or whether it comes frdm the sale of prod­ ucts of the soil and factory, economy in spending is the first principle of success. The sooner the practice of economy starts in life the earlier may success be acquired. This accommodating old bank is ready to serve you.

ROTARIANS WILL EACH PUR­ CHASE BUSHEL OF WHEAT To Be Exchanged For Flour For Unemployed Or Feed For the Birds The Rotary club at their Monday noon luncheon listened to a communi­ cation from a California Rotary club, suggesting that every member of every Rotary club in the country purchase a bushel of wheat which he would agree to feed to the birds or exchange for flour to be given to the unemployed. Of course the 116.000 Rotarians alone would not make such a cig demand, but It I* felt that their example will stimulate many to do the same, and so result in a material gain in the pur­ chase of wheat i nd thus be of real help to the farmer* o. our country.

Grand Rapids, at the Emmanuel Episcopal church here Sunday afternoon under the direction of Harold Tower, choir master and or­ ganist. This 1* the first time that an organization of this kind lias ever ap­ peared In Hastings. There is a timbre to a well-trained boy choir especially suited to religious music. From the first notes of the pro­ cessional hymn to the recessional, the audience listened with close attention. Harold Tower played the pipe organ accompaniment while Andrew Sesslnk. tenor; James Vader, baritone, and A. Hazenberg, bass, furnished mature voices to the chorus of boys. A feature of the program was the soprano solos of Master Harry South­ wick whose clear tones ranged high up the register without the slightest flut­ tering or uncertaintyi Young Master Southwick is the son of Dr. and Mrs. George H. Southwick, both of whom have many friends here. During the brief service. Rev. J. .A. McNulty expressed the hope that the visit of the St. Mark's boy choir here might become a regular yearly event and those who heard this splendidlytrained group carried away the same thought. After the program, the members of the choir were guest* of the Emmanuel parish at an informal reception in the Pariah house.

For several years he taught history and civics in tlie South High school of Grand Rapids. He was regarded as a leader in educational administration tn this state. He retired from the South High school in June 1930. Mr. Sterling was bom in Lowell. He accepted his first teaching position as a lad of seventeen near Alto. He gradu­ ated with honors from the State Nor­ mal College In Ypsilanti in 1888. He was head of the schools In Concord for two years and thefi was made super­ intendent of schools of this city, re­ maining here for five years.

Approximately 8500.000 will be added to the state's revenues in 1932 through closer supervision of the sale of truck license plates. Secretary of Stale Frank D. Fitzgerald estimates. In past yean, truck owners have been allowed to use any sort of weight slip In certifying to the weight of trucks wiien securing license plates. Starting with the 1932 plates, truck owners will be required to use official Department of State weight receipts. Without a de­ partment receipt, license plates will not be Issued. In every city where the department has a branch office, one or more scales are to be designated as official and the owners will be supplied with depart­ ment weight receipts Before applying for licenses, it will be necessary for owners or drivers to weigh the truck in actual operating condition. The owner and scale wclghmaster then sign the receipt which will be ac­ cepted by the department In issuing plates. Last spring, several Instances were discovered where truck owners wilfully attempted to defraud the state. Almost 160.000 In additional weight I taxes were collected by department in­ vestigators from these sources. In ad­ dition. it is believed that many others pay less than the legal fee because of ignorance of the actual weight of their truck. Truck and trailer license plates will be on sale at all branch offices of the department December 1. Camp Fire Notes O-DA-KA-TA.

In view of the having broken his wrist while cranking substantial number of the voters in ills car. the districts proposed to be consolidat­ ed who voted at thl* election. The Judge states that there was no fraud In the election. He emphasized the fact that the burden rests upon the plaintiff to show that, if there was an error in Hie elecUon notice, the re­ sult of the election wo*'affected by such error. In support of this view of the case Judge McPeek quotes from a Michigan supreme court decision, in the case of Farrington vs. Turner In Hie 53rd Michigan, a* sustaining his view In the following words: “And the court* ven' generally hold that statutes prescribing the manner of holding elections are directory* and not mandatory, unless It affirmatively appears that the Irregularity is of a character to change the result AND WHEN THAT IS THE CASE THE RELATOR SHOULD MAKE THAT FACT APPEAR." In the case of Farrington vs. Tur. ner. quoted by the Judge, he recites that the inspectors had. on election day. changed the location of the polling place from one place to another. The supreme court held that this having been done In good faith was only an irregularity, unless It prevented per­ son* from voting or prejudiced the rights of candidates. Such an Ir­ regularity, the highest court holds, will not sustain proceedings In the nature of a quo warranto, on in this case. In the absence of proof that If the change had not been made the result would have been different. The Judge also refers to the case of the People vs. Avery, 102 Michigan, page 572, where the supreme court said: "The electors are not to be deprived of the result of their votes at an elec­ tion by the mistake of election offic­ ers when it does not appear to have changed the result” The Judge also cited the case of Harwood vs. Stlllson. 108 Michigan, Page 419. Judge McPeek hold* that. In tliat case, the plaintiff presented no testi­ mony tending to show that any voter was deceived by the notice in question or that the result of the election was Influenced thereby. The plaintiff's Case rested on the assertion that the notice was faulty and that by a show­ ing of that fact they had discharged their burden and were entitled to the relief they/aaked. The defendants disclaiming that tlie burden was theirs, yet presented some testimony to show tliat a large propor­ tion of the electors of tlie various school district* participated In the elecUon. and that Ils result would not have been changed had all who were eligible been present and voted.

Children would be a lot better off if cakes and pastries were omitted from their diet, and good CLEAN milk substituted, because good clean ’milk is recognized as the world’s most perfect food, as it contains just the elements that the human system needs. Adults woultf be better off if they used more milk. There is just as much difference-fa the CLEANNESS of milk as there "is in the cleanness of any other food. To the naked eye any unclean milk may look just ns clean as any other, but it may carry the germs that will start an epi­ demic of disease that# will leave death and undermined constitutions in its trail. The Highlands Dairy produces its Grade “A” milk, drawn entirely from its own superior herd of milch cows, which is regularly inspected by the state. Everything about the Highlands Dairy is installed and conducted with the view of CLEANLINESS. So complete are our methods, and so CLEAN is the milk wo produce, th”at thc state of Michigan, after rigid tests has given the Highlands Dairy the right to produce Grade “A” Milk.

At the meeting held October 9 in Washington, which Senator Vanden­ berg attended. President Hoover an­ nounced his plans at a gathering which he called, which included representsUvea „t of KMh both nrtiHe.1 political iwrtiM parties in the house and senate, outlining his plans and asking that the remedies to be ap­ plied to restore confidence be under­ token wllhout any reference to politics, and with the co-operation of both democrats and republicans in the two houses of congress. After the President had completed his announcement. Congressman Jack Gatner. of Texas, who will undoubted­ ly be thc speaker of the next house, who is a democrat and an intense pm than. arose and said, "Mr. President It is quite evident that you have called this meeting to ask us as democrat;, as well as your own party members, to write your message to congress oh this subject. So far as I am personally con­ cerned. I do not want to have any part in writing your message on that subject. You go ahead and say what you please, and the democrats will say what they think after Congress assembles." As might well be Imagined, according to Senator Vandenberg, this startling an­ nouncement filled everybody with dis- hope for co-operation. However. Sena­ tor Pat Harrison, of Mississippi, who Is also strongly partisan but intensely patriotic, aroae and said. "I entirely disagree with the sentiments expressed by Representative Garner. I could not think of anything worse that the dem­ ocratic party could do. in a time of dis­ tress like this than to try to gain any partisan advantage In tlie present painful and critical financial situation by opposing or antagonizing any rea­ sonable efforts which the President may make to relieve the present finan­ cial distress. So far as I am concerned, and I believe I speak for my party. I pledge the President my best efforts to help him put across in congress any reasonable program he may propose and I hope his efforts to relieve the sit­ uation may be entirely successful." Senator Vandenberg said that this patriotic stand taken by Senator Har­ rison thrilled the gathering convened in the White House. Thereafter there was complete harmony and the entire absence of partisan talk or suggestion. Even Representative Gamer of Texas at the close of the meeting pledged his support to the President. Mr. Vandenberg said that President Hoover proposed four major plans to relieve our financial distress, as fol- gave the Credit Corporation and sec­ ond the value of the collateral which would consist of mortgages or bonds Credit Corpora iron. which would loan or notes having collateral given by the cdsh to banks able to furnish proper makers.

His fourth plan would be to greatly Increase the resources of thc Federal Farm Loan banks so they could in­ crease their accommodation to farmers who need loans on their real estate The plans suggested by the Presi­ dent did not include the following, which is sponsored by Senator Vanden­ berg himself. It lias met with favor wherever he has discussed it. In the Judgment of thc Senator a fifth plan should provide some sort of federal mortgage bank, to promote home and farm ownership. In other words, the mortgage credit situation must be loosened in the interests of the whole country. We all know that home ownership stands for higher and better character and citizenship in our people. Our banking facilities do not now afford a credit situation which is an encouragement to home and farm ownership.

The Senator thought it was high time that our banking situation was put in a position where it could encourage farm and home ownership rather than Wall Street speculation. After Senator Vandenberg had out­ lined the situation and remedies pro­ posed os stated above, he invited his listeners to ask such questions as they chose. One of the questions was: Is it fair to consider current values, in a time of acute depression such os we have now. as a measure of the solvency of a banking institution. "Most decidedly nol." said the Senator. "The very high­ est type_of bonds are now suffering a terrible shrinkage of value, due to ab­ normal conditions, not to a considera­ tion of the actual values of such bonds." ’ In answer to a question he explained that those banks which subscribe to the National Credit corporation will be given Debentures, which will be eny who have full authority to liquidate them as best they can. and the Credit Corporation could not Interfere. In answer to a question as to whether good mortgages. even If past due. could Natlonal Credit Corporation, the Sen­ ator replied that, in his judgment, if the value of the property justified the mortgage Joan, and the money bor­ rowed from the Corporation is only a percentage of the mortgage and if thc Interest and taxes lias been regularly paid, there would be no reason why such mortgages could not be used as collateral. As to whether the National Credit­ Corporation would be operated by the government, or be a part of Ute Fed­ eral Reserve System. Senator Vanden­ berg explained that it would have no connection with either one. but would be a separate affair, whose sole pur­ pose would be to come to the relief of any solvent bank which needed help. We have gone into tlie -details of Senator Vandenberg's suggestions and explanations of the National Credit Corporation, and ether relief measures because we believe our readers will be deeply Interested in this subject. Tlie board of directors of the Has­ tings City Bank, at a meeting held Wednesday night, voted unanimously for that bank to join the , National Credit Corporation. We understand that the directors of the Hastings Na­ tional Bank plan to have that bank take the same action. WORKERS MEET WITH A FINE RESPONSE (Continued from page one) with by the Red Cross.

French. British, American. Scotch, Australian. New Zealand, etc., all of whom united In one grand cele­ bration. "What are we going to do with Ar­ mistice Day?" This question was asked and answered by Mr. Howard who told served with all the nations of the world uniting, but with every bit of military detail omitted. He would have an International commission appoint­ ed to erect a large temple wherein would be placed replicas of the tombs of the Unknown Soldier, all available war materials, relics, etc . and make this temple a place of beauty and reverence—a monument to those who are sleeping theft* manhood away after making the supreme sacrifice. At this memorial each Armistice Day suitable services should be held and the day made one of reverent remembrance. Mr. Howard urged the dedication of our­ selves to a steadfast determination to promote the cause of universal peace. When all thc nations shall reach this decision, we can truthfully feel tint those who gave their lives have not died in vain. At eleven o'clock. Commander Ster­ ling Rogers asked all to rise and face thc west during two minutes of silent tribute to those who have gone before This was very impressive. Thc audience sang "America The Beautiful" as a closing hymn. , In cooperation with the American Legton at Nashville, a goodly number of Hastings Legionnaires and Unit members assisted in the Armistice Day services in Nashville. Adjutant Andrew Matthews gave a splendid talk at the High school which was much enjoyed. About seventy-five Legionnaires and Auxiliary women enjoyed a party at the Star Grange hall in the evening. A bountiful pot luck supper was served after which an impromptu program was enjoyed with E. C. Potter as mas­ ter of ceremonies. Each one in turn was teen years ago on tlie first Armistice Day. The reminiscences were variedsome of the men were In tlie Argonne, one In Belgium, several in hospitals and some In training camps in the United Stales—but all happy that the men. written by one of_t.be Auxiliary members was read. Informal reports of the work ot tire Legion and Auxiliary i during the past year were given by Ad-1 jutanl Andrew Matthews and Mrs. Don Foreman. Sterling Rogers, commander of the Legion, and Mrs. Henry Mulder. Unit president, outlined the objectives for the coming year. This was followed by a splendid talk by Dr. B. C. Swift of Middleville. He urged every man to stand for and be worthy of thc best in his community and not to expect unde­ served favors just because he was a veteran. Among other things. Dr. Swift said tliat he believed every man who served overseas came home imbued with higher respect and greater ad­ miration for American womanhood than he had when he went away. American woman hold an unique place in the world because of their inde­ pendence and outstanding accomplish­ ments in every vocation of life, not enjoyed by the majority of women In other countries. At one time during his stay in Belgium. Dr. Swift was caring for 225 influenza patients, keeping him busy night and day. His talk was great­ ly appreciated by all present.

Just as I wu about to comment oh the felicity with which Dorothy Can­ field had caught Ute Basque feeling and translated It to her stories, I chanced upon a learned review by Eleanor Merceln. the gifted author of "Basquerie," from which I learned that Mrs. Fisher had succeeded in doing nothing of the kind; the stories are not Basque at all but “might have been written of any other locality.” Let us pass all that as beside thc point To the uninitiated this pseudoBasqueneu Is still enchanting to the imagination, and that so dearly loved a story teller as Dorothy Canfield has chosen to write of Uiat mysterious French-Spanish country of the Pyren-: ee». and of its charming and imperious' nafive* J* sufficient incentive to read I and enjoy. There are eight tale* in this collec­ tion; whether Basque or not. they are| filled with thc goodness and nobility and with some of the weakness that is found in all humanity; they are homely I and unpretenUous. based on legends that were told to the author, and are here recounted with a lovely sim- • pllcity. One or two. auch as the dear story of old Guignol may bring an ache J to your throat, and some others hove , sly chuckles hidden in them. You will: read and feel enriched and refreshed.

Money In the early days of oitr country, the white settlers used to trade tobacco to the Indians for valuable furs. Trad­ ing was a common'means of exchange at that time. Today, when the wife or daughter wants "furs,” fur coats, etc., it is not “tobacco" that is required to secure them—it’s MONEY. In practically every business transaction throughout the world of commerce today, it is not tobacco, wool, wheat, cotton, or any other commodity that is required to make the exchange fdr clothing and all the comforts, con­ veniences and luxuries of life—It is MONEY. The Indians in those days, had no use for money—To­ day everybody requires money. In order to have money one must save a part of one's income—whether that income is the result of daily toil in office or shop—or whether it comes from the sale of prod­ ucts of the soil and factory, economy in spending is the first principle of success.

There are luxuries that may well be spared. There arc even necessities that can be curtailed. But the Bible. Indis­ pensable at all times, 1* still more in­ dispensable, in times like tliese today. The Bible is not a book of political maxims or of economic theories. It is MOM SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS OCTOBER SESSION. 1 all. It is a book of living principles.

Christ is the only hope of individuals and of society. And the Bible is the only book wiilch tells His story. It alone preserves His words, which are spirit and life.

GENERAL PROSPERITY I Bartel Perfection Working With State and National Oov'ta Required— County Agency System The question of farm relief is a vital one to this country. Tiie Banner has al­ ways held the view that no permanent | prosperity can come to ttfe United Slates without a prosperous agriculture. I Congress did ita best, at the last ses1 sion. to accomplish such relief by legls1 latlon. The effort to control prices has [proven a failure, as it invariably does । Brazil tried to do it with coffee. Engi land tried to do it with rubber from its East Indian possession*. Both atj tempts were fiat failures. There can be no permanent price control by the gov­ ernment wiiere we have a surplus crop. | nor can the government step tn and buy enough wheat, or cotton, or any i other commodity, and keep it off the ! market so as to permanently maintain I the price at a high level. The low jiricc jot wheat since the 1931 harvest was i due. in no small degree, to the knowl­ edge that the United States govern­ ment had ptircluuicd and was holding roinelhlng like 200,000,000 bushels of wheat. which was likely to be dumped at any time when the price seemed right. World-wide conditions of depres­ sion had their part of course; but the' accumulation ot such a quantity of sur­ plus wheat naturally led to a depressed price. If we. therefore, shall permanently Any Siie 32 to 50 put aside any thought of price Axing or government relief through purchase, there remains only one other way and | that Is to have such a cu-operation [among the farmers of the United States as will lead to the reduction of acreage nut into certain crops in order to ob-1 tain better prices. To accomplish that the federal government, the state gov­ ernment. as well as counties and farm­ ers individually must co-operate. We have a tariff in this country of 42c a -bushel on wheat. If the seaboard jirlce . of wheal will be as it is al the present HENDERSHOTT. !

That can­ not be done except through a county agent system, which brings the knowl­ edge and suggestions for planting which the extension department of tiie State College and the agricultural de­ partment of the government can offer to every farmer, so lie can know what he ought to do in the way of crop acreage. Unless crop acreage can be controlled the situation ta hopeless. If the wheat nnd cotton crops can be< kept at quantities which can be sold at I fair prices, farmers will prosper. If not farming as it is now carried on by in­ dividual fanners seems to oiler little prospect for prosperity. To crop acre­ age control should be added farmcontrolled marketing of crops. All this calls for such co-operation as has been worked out so successfully in Denmark. But It cannot be done without co-op­ eration. and the plan worked out by the federal government calls - for the county agency system in every rural county, and the full co-operation of the individual farmer with tiiat agency, and through it with the stale and na­ tional government.

What will seem surprising to many is that there has been such great progress made in the generation of electric cur­ rent by steam, such a saving of coal, that it is no longer profitable for any company to have a small development of water power and ho;>c to compete with an up-to-date steam plant. So marked has been the development of electricity by steam tiiat the big power companies will no longer consider small developments of water power, like 10.000 or 20.000 horse power, but feel that they must be able to generate at least 50.000 Ironic power by water If they wish the cost from such develop­ ment to be lower than electricity can now be generated in a modem steam plant.

It has been true in the past, it will be true we believe from now on. that people who go through a depressed period like the one from which we are now emerging, will have learned valuable lessons from which they will profit all through life.. We doubt If ever again the American peo­ ple will become as crazy to gamble in Wall street as they were In 1927-28-29. We doubt if people will mortgage their future to the extent they did during the “Prosperous Twenties" that they might have the things that are nice to have, but which they could not afford. We believe It will be a long time from now before Americans will expect that they can get by in life without work, hop­ ing that the turn of a wheel In some slot machine, or a ticker from Wall street, will put money in their pockets.

They had been operated day and night for two years in heavy traffic and all kinds of weather. Their individual records ranged from 78,434 miles to 1-13,723 miles with a grand total of 2,283,097 miles. The operating cost of the 21 cars was 2.284 cents a mile — less than 2 1/3 cents. This cost included all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other item except depreciation and insurance. Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit Gty service, the 300 in the Police Department traveled a total of 6,591,937 miles during the past fiscal year, nt an average cost of 2.9 cents a mile. Many claims have been made on operat­ ing costs, but here in the carefully kept motor car records of the Gty of Detroit is positive proof of Ford economy. . In the paragraphs above, it is seen that 21 Ford scout cars averaged less than 2 1/3 cents a mile and 300 Ford ears in all branches of Detroit police work averaged 2.9 cents a mile! Day and night, twenty-four hours ■ day, these Ford cars are in operation. Few branches of transportation demand such grueling service. The records show that low fuel and oil consumption is but one of the Ford’s many economies. Ford ma­ . terinls, simplicity of design and accuracy in manufacturing provide unusual strength, stamina and freedom from replacements and repairs.

In the upper peninsula of Michigan, we read, prohibition agents are plan­ ning tq resurrect an eighty-year-old internal revenue act to assist in con­ victions. Real estate owners have been «-arned that the government is plan­ ning to confitcate property and dispose of it at public auction If the tenant in the building Is convicted in federal court of violating the prohibition law. If the agents carry out this threat, we predict hundreds of ' borderline“ votes will be swung over to the side of those wishing modification or repeal. It will rank as one of the moat stupid steps in the history of Michigan law enforcement. Coming at a time when Gangster Capone was finally convicted of violating the federal Income tax law (with profits gained from control of liquor sales In Chicago), it seems ab­ solutely ridiculous Uiat'igtnte should bring out this hoary statute to help bear down with a heavy fist on “little fellows” who, in comparison to the booze kings of the big cities are as dry as charred lint. But this discarded act doesn't even punish those dispensing or yiews and Opinions; UthCrS Ody be returned to the "earthly paradise” from whence they came. In dealing with tlie Reds we should adopt the business motto of "David Harum:" "Do unto others as others would do unto you only do It fust!" CONSTRUCTIVE AT LEAST. Senator Robert LaFollette jiroposes to create a permanent commission dur­ ing the next congress for keeping tab Of production and consumption in this country. This commission, he believes, will be able to warn the country when the proper balance is endangered. Good enough in theory and posalbly worth trying. Experience, however, shows tluit when the weather is fair, business Is not inclined to take stock in signs. Federal Reserve Banks all over the country did all in their power to warn the country of impending financial trouble for more than a year before the great crash of 1929. But speculation went merrily on. One big New York bank, tn fact, extended huge credits to Wall Street In open scorn to the Fed­ eral banks. Nevertheless we arc glad that Senator LaFollette ts capable of such constructive fdeas. The plan read well but we doubt that the warnings o.' such a committee would be taken ser­ iously; until too late. When Americans are happy are very, very happy and when not; they are very, very "re­ pressed." Advertising, such as no other nation has known, has held constantly before the eyes of American readers, the Illus­ trations of good cars and good clothing and good hemes, and the hundreds of things associated wilh them, and ad­ vertising has Inevitably made the read­ er bglieye Uiat he Is entitled to these things. Tlie movie has helped, but newspaper and magazine advertising . has done most ot the work. Without them we all undoubtedly would be living cn a much lower plane, materially stxaklng. and would have lesn wealth than we nowhave to show for our abnegation. We may tv sure. In the future as in the past, advertising will break the way for tlie ever advancing scale of American living.—Houston Chronicle. This and That A Press Meeting Television. Gov. Brucker on Taxes.

Clothing for Men & Boys HASTINGS, MICHIGAN Clean Milk food aii There are different "grades" in milk just as there are various grades in other foods. Grade “A” Milk is the CLEAN­ EST and BEST Milk that is produced at a price within the reach of the ordinary family. Before any dairy is permitted to sell Grade "A” Milk it must undergo the strictest kind of inspection by offi­ cials of the state of Michigan. The Highlands Dairy is the ONLY dairy in this section that has passed this inspection by Michigan State Inspectors, and is the ONLY dairy in this section permitted to sell Grade "A" Milk. When Medical Research investigators discovered that ordinary milk was the cauie of many outbreaks of serious epi­ Why Not Have Grade “A’ Home and Ouit- T«lr***ar i ages demies because of its UNCLEANLINESS, an agitation against its use followed. The Highlands Dairy felt that the people of this city and county would appreciate a supply of pure CLEAN milk. We have spent a large sum of money for equip­ ment necessary to produce Grade "A" Milk. Repeated tests by Michigan State Inspectors have PROVEN that no CLEANER milk is produced anywhere in the country than Highlands Dairy Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk. We sell it for only 10 cents a quart and we know of no place in the country where Grtflie “A” Milk is gold for as low a price. We will ALWAYS recommend the use of Grade “A" Pasteurized Milk, because it is the CLEANEST milk produced. Pasteurized zed Milk In Your Think It Over. GRADE GRADE TELEPHONE 2651 ROBT. W.

RESPONSES GIVEN BY CAPTAIN AND COACH Interesting Talk Made By J. 0. Penney Who Was Here For Opening of Store Wednesday The testimonial banquet, Wednesday night in K. of P. hall, tendered to the representatives of the Notre Dame football team, who were here for thc queters. He especially had In tnlnd in his talk the thirty or more young men of the High school, members of thc High school football team, who were present. Mr. Penney gave briefly a few chap­ ters from his marvelous business ex­ periences. telling of the struggles he had gone through, of the many dis­ couragements which had come to him. and bow he had met them In a spirit of determination and confidence of winning through. One incident he related which marked the turning point In his life. He was alone in a store, quite dis­ couraged because he hud not succeeded as he felt he wanted to. He told of banging his fist on lhe table In that Missouri village store, stamping his foot and declaring to himself that he would mkke a success of his first ven­ ture in business. He was tlien clerk tn a general store and was only a lad of Scarves & Reefers Such an assortment as ours Is hard to find. Such good shirts, too, in plain white, plain colors and fancies.

He may not be­ come a millionaire. He may not be rich; but he will have enough of th's world’s goods for himself and those de­ pendent upon him. and he will have served his fellow men and won their respect, and will be remembered for the good he did." The Mayor then Introduced as the toastmaster. Attorney Kim Sigler. As he always does Kim filled the position tactfully In a way that was pleasing to all present. Thc toastmaster first Introduced Rev. Fr. Geller, who gave a fine talk, ex­ pressing his appreciation of this testi­ monial to the Notre Dome football team, gotten up by the business men of the city. Mr. Sigler, after referring to the wonderful Notre Dame football rec­ ord. expressed Ills great pleasure in having lhe honor to Introduce Captain Yarr of that team, who had won fame in the football world by his masterful learfcrshlp of a great team. He gave a brief, fine-spirited response. The next speaker Introduced was Jack Chevigny. assistant coach of the Notre Dame team, who is completing a law course In the Notre Dame Univer­ sity. Jack Chevigny Is a real fellow. Those who heard his talk obout playing football, as well ns playing thc game of life, can well understand why Notre Dame won her many victories. Chevigny was the star halfback on the team for three years previous to be­ coming the junior coach. One could tell manner that when he goes after a thing he goes after it to get it. In his ’ talk to thc Hastings football team he urged them to take thc never-give-up spirit not only Into their football games but also In the game of life. All who attended enjoyed the ban­ quet and the program which followed. BARBERS CORNERS. Soft pliable leather, sateen lined, zipper front, all worsted bot­ tom.

This dairy is the only one in this section permitted by the state to sell Grade “A” milk. We have gone to the big expense of putting in this equip­ ment because we felt certain that the people of this community would appreciate CLEAN milk. Because of its cleanliness and al­ most complete freedom from bacteria, we will always recom­ mend the use of our Grade "A” Pasteurized milk because there is no cleaner milk produced anywhere. Naturally it costs more to produce Grade "A" milk than it does to produce Grade “B” millc that is not as clean, but it is >vell worth the difference in price. It is really added insurance to you and your family against streptococci sore throat, fevers, tubercu­ losis and other diseases, which very often have their origin in UNCLEAN MILK. One little microbe in the right place in your system can produce almost an unlimited amount of trouble and expense to you and to others. We charge 10 cents a quart for Grade "A” Pasteurized milk, and Grade "A" raw milk. We know of no place in Mich­ igan, or any other state where Grade “A" Pasteurized milk is sold for so low a price. , If for any reason you prefer Grade "B” milk, either Pas­ teurized or raw, we can supply your wants ?t 8 cents per quart, and will be glad to supply your requirements. We are here to supply our patrons with just what they prefer in the way of milk, always recommending our Grade “A" Pasteurized because of its CLEANLINESS.

LyBARKER “W'Aere Immediate Courtesy and Attention art Shown AH' PHONE 2115 WE DELIVER The Christmas dinner may easily be modernized by adding fruit and vege­ table dishes that provide the necessary food elements In suitable proixirtlons. An overladen table seems a part of the holiday plan and yet it is quite passlble to have a varied menu which is at the same Lime well balanced and comparatively Inexpensive. Table decorations may be simplified by the choice of a menu which includes the festive colors of green and red. Such a menu is suggested here: Tomato Juice cocktail or cranberry cocktail, creonr of spinach or clear tomato soup, fowl or roast, potato apples or stuffed baked potatoes, baked squash or creamed cauliflower, cranberry sherbet, stuffed celery or Waldorff salad In uppie cups, fruit pudding, and hot spiced' cider. Cranberry cocktail requires one quart cranberry sauce, one pint can pears, one can pineapple, one can peaches, and the Juice of two lemons. Dice the pears, peaches and pineapple, then mix with cranberry sauce and lemon Juice. Chill and serve In tall glasses, gar­ nish with a candled cranberry. For the potato apples, select small potatoes or cut large potatoes in spheres the size of a crabapple. Fry In deep fat and garnish with a bit of parsley to represent a leaf and paprika to make the cheek of the apple red. A clove makes a satisfactory stem. CHILEAN TRADE. The United States furnished Chile with 493 per cent of the total tonnage of Its imports for the flrat nine months of this year, according to figures made public yesterday. Peru was second, furnishing 14 per cent. The United States was Chile's greatest single cus­ tomer, purchasing 48.4 per cent of the total tonnage exported for the nine months.

Ada Stratnor bent her head as the words of the preacher rang out. She wished lie had chosen some other text; (lie didn’t want to hear about peace tills morning; in fact, she hadn't wanted to come to church at nil, but the habit of years Is not easily broken. She was sorry now that she had come; It would have been better if she had heeded the Impulse and stayed at home. For the service, beau­ tiful though It was. only made her more unhappy. Her heart echoed the truth of the words Hie preacher waa saying: "Thera Is do happiness In the heart that does not hold peace and good will toward ail." For months she had known this; but wounded trust and pride had kept her from acknowledging It even to herself. Never before find days been so long and empty, so full of bitter­ ness and unfiupplnew. Three months ago her nnlj^gephew. whom she had perauailcd to study medicine, had told her that he could not go on with that work, and worse, expressly against her wishes, insisted upon taking up tlie art course that she had made him drop before. For Atta Stratnor felt that the career of nn artist was too precarious and held too many threats »f povqrty. Ami a still greater reason, she warned him to carry oirtbe tradi­ tion of the Stratnor family—a doctor In every generation. Nor had alto re­ lented a particle when he told her that the biggest Joy in life was to be able lo do the thing one wanted to. no matter how hard the way. Again the voice of the preacher reached her: "Christmas is a time for reconciliation, for forgiveness, for mu­ tual understanding." Her head bent lower at_ the words; something seemed to be choking her. ami in a moment two great tears dropped on her clasped hands. But ns Ada Stratnor left the church n halt lionr later, the joy of pence and love waa again filling her heart, am! her eyes were shining as she pic­ tured the happiness that a Christmas reconciliation would bring.

Tiie federal government and state ex­ tension departments, which arc anxious to co-operate with the farmer to thc end of securing for Wm thc best pos­ sible return, must have some re­ sponsible agency. In units as small as counties, to say the least, through whom these governmental agencies can act. one who will be responsible to those governmental departments for tiie fullest co-opeYatlon with them, and for thc carrying out of their plans. The federal government has adopted the county agency system. It did not get into thc middle west until during and after the World war. Such agencies have been working in the eastern states for a long lime. In a single eastern stalo county there will be several county agents, each specializing in some particular line of agriculture such as dairying, commercial gardening, raising fruit*, growing tobacco, etc. In these older New England counties, also in certain parts of New York, thia county agency systefn has long been in successful operation, with excellent re­ sult*. No one would think of giving It up. Such a system is needed now In the grain and cotton belts and In other parts of the UrAted States, where our principal market crops arc grown. By having such a man in each county, who is in close touch with the national de­ partment of agriculture, with the ex­ tension department of his own state, he Is able to bring the largpit_amount of help to the individual farmer. and to bring about that co-operation which, is desirable and necessary, if farming is to be put upon thc right basis In till* country. fHprrg (Christmas voted to sponsor the new Scout Troop which la being organized.

Meyer who is spending a month in the Battle Creek Area Council while in Barry county last Wednesday, met with the Pack Com­ mittee of the only registered Cub Pack in Barry county and outlined the aims of thc Cub program. Dr. C. E. Hyatt is Cub Master. Mr. Aben Johnson was elected chairman of the committee with the following members; Lyman Cham­ berlain. Milo DeVries. A. J. Larsen. Rev. Leason Sharpe was directly re­ sponsible for the formation of the Pack and was to have acted on the commit­ tee but because of his change of pas­ torate it was felt he should connect with the Cub Pack al Morgan Park. We wish to Mr. Sharpe the utmost in suc­ cess and feel very deep regret that he must leave Hastings. We feel that Scouting in Barry county lias lost a true friend and know that another community will be enriched by his presence. FARMERS NEED INSURANCE.

Ton Delivered Today we offer joa eoal of the highest quality at Smith Bros Velte & Co poisoned baits, according to the zoology department at Michigan State ! College. . Protection of food supplies to make them inaccessible and a. check of the plumbing to detect and repair any leaks which provide the rats with n drinking place should be the first step in a poison campaign" Rats-which are hungry nnd thirsty are less shy ot baits Arsenic and barium carbonate poison other animals us readily os they do rats and should not be used where harmless creatures have access to the balls, An attractive arsenic poison bait can be made by mixing one port by measure ot white arsenic, eight parts of com meal or other meal, and eight tiarts of sugar. One part nf barium carbonate com­ bined with fouf parts ot cereal or ground meat makes another effective poison. 1 Red squill has the advantage of being i almost harmless to human beings and | domestic stock while lielng a specific poison for rats, it may be obtained in either liquid or powdered form, the powder usually being more convenient to use. One part by weight of red squill mixed with 10 parts of tnea! is the cor­ rect porportlon for baits. The poison al­ so may be dusted on slices of fresh fruit or vegetables, or this palson may­ be used with the foods used with ar­ senic or barium carbonate. Directions for ridding buildings ol rats and mice are given in Circular Bulletin No. 138 Michigan State College. DRY PHILADELPHIA STUFFING.

In effqct. prohibited the issuance of sinking fund bonds by any municipality in this state, with the exception of the cities of De­ troit and Dearborn. This legislation became effective on May 21. 1831 and was operative for only a little more than one month of the year for which the state treasurer's report has been compiled. The stale treasurer favored thl* amendment because by requiring munlcipaUUes to reUre a fair portion of their debt annually live failure to pro­ vide for the payment of debt cannot long go unnoticed, and no municipal administration is able to escape It* duty of placing in the budget an amount for debt retirement. Then too. the risk of future administrations dis­ sipating the sinking funds and the pos­ sibility ot depreclaUon in sinking fund holding* are obviated. Another act of the 1931 legislature permits the refunding of bonds which municipalities are unable to pay. be­ cause of the failure of tax collections or because of the closing of a bank in which municipal funds are deposited. This provides that refunding may be permitted after a board, composed of lhe state treasurer, attorney general, and the auditor general, lias passed on lhe necessity of lhe refunding bonds.

The electricity In all the homes served by this Company averages only 7 cents to 8 cents a day. On the average bill shown above, every bit of current used in addition this month would all be at 2 cents. What docs this mean? Just this — this average rmtnmrs can add electric refrigeration and cooking with 2 eent electricity and use 5 times as much current hi doing so, but his bill would NOT be increased 5 times the 83.02 shown above, but only to 87.84. Thus all his electricity including lighting and every other use would average about 2^ cents per kilowatt hour. The more you use, the lower the rate. As a result, customers are using more electricity, getting mere enjoy­ ment out of it, paying less per unit. Electricity IS cheaper — and it- does more work In more ways than ever before.

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.
