Last Tuesday evening a very pleasant and enjoyable masquerade was given at the opera house, and judging from the attendance it would seem that roller skating sport in Nashville was far from being a thing of the past. The stage and gallery were both crowded, and the floor was filled with the maskers, all of whom were well gotten up, but very few being recognizable in their disguise. A Pleasant Event. . Mr. and Mrs. James Fleming gave a 4 o’clock dinner party on New Years day for their daughter Edith, which was attended by a jolly party of young married people.

AMTBU FABMKHS' CLCB. The Assyria Farmers’ club met December 20. with Mr. and Mrs. C Tuckerman. About 150 sat down to the excellent dinner, after which President Hartom called the meeting to ord.qr and those present listened to a fine talk by John L. Hoyt of Bellevue, in which he explained the parcels post system, and the new change In the rates to go into effect in January. After this talk the an­ nual election of officers took place, with the following result: Pres.— Milton Hartom; Vice Pres.-^Roy Moore; Treat.—Chgs. Tuckerman; Sec.—Mrs. Harry Mayo; Reporter— Mrs. Sperry Thomas; Chor.—Mrs. John Tasker; Organist—Miss Eva Kent; Chaplain—-Mrs. Wm. Cargo. Jay and May Crapoff then sang a very pretty duet, "Bing me the Ros­ ary”. They were heartily encored and they sang a second number. Mrs. Ida Hartom gave a reading, "Is there a Banta Claus?" which was fine and brought out many good thoughts. The recitation by Alice Thomas, "Fritz and his Betsy fall out", was well received. . . Miss Hazel Olmstead gave a fine instrumental and was recalled for the second number. The paper given by Harry Mayo, "The value of a man’s word”, was greatly enjoyed. It contained many good ideas. Indeed the value of a man's word is without limit. No matter how great may be bls riches, if there is no dependence to be placed on his word he has not much of a career before him. He con­ cluded by saying'that he thought it the duty of every citizen to help in­ struct the rising generation that truth has more value attached to it than great riches. Lloyd Tasker, accompanied by Lisle Tasker on the piano, sang a so­ lo, "Ship of Dreams”. After a hearty encore they responded with a very pretty duet, “Rain with Sunshine.” Orpha Schock favored . the club with a recitation, "Arabella and Sal­ ly Ann,” which was fine. The report by the delegate to the state convention, Mrs. Lizzie Mayo, was given. Mrs. Mayo and Mrs. Thompson attended. She gave a very interesting and instructive re­ port, which was listened to with great appreciation. By the request of the club, Mrs. Zeno Lyons favored the members with two songs, and Miss Anna Thomas with a fine recitation. The club adjourned to meet at the Assyria church January 24, 1914. Alice G. Thomas, Reporter. THE WOMAN AND THE HOG. The relative value of a woman and a hog was illustrated in Wisconsin recently. A woman wrote to the gov­ ernor that she had a large family to support and was suffering with tu­ berculosis and desired State aid. About the i&me time a letter was re celved from a man who desired aid for a hog which showed symptoms of cholera. The Governor sent word to the woman that no appropriation .10,000 VOICES’ had been made for tuberculosis vic­ tims. and at the same time a man was hurriedly dispatched,with a sup­ And Many are the Voices of Nashville ply of cholera serum to the rescue People. of the hog.

San Sebastian, Spain, Dec. 30.—A fire which threatened to wipe out.most of this city started at midnight in the tenement-houae district, and was still raging unchecked at noon. The flames were fanned by a high wind. An Im­ mense block of buildings, mostly tene­ ment dwellings, was destroyed before daybreak. Thousands of. the inhabi­ tants of the surrounding districts spent the morning In the streets, guarding such of their household goods as they had been able lb remove hastily.

It Is al­ so the most unwelcome one. People have foolishly established a custom of making January 1st an interna­ tional pay day, and thus robbed New Year's day of whatever pleasure it otherwise might have had. January has been playing first fiddle In the orchestra of Time ever since Numa knocked the socks off of March away back in the early days of mythology and handed the honor to Janus, who. up until that time, had been but a janitor for the gods. Jan­ us, it seems, has made quite shit with the Romans while keeping their lawns mowed and their autos in re­ pair, and one day when he waa ca­ vorting around in about as much clothes as a twentieth century woman wears, Numa decided the cycle of then ten monthg brought birthdays too often, so sh*e put in a oouple of extra ones, nam’ng the first for Jan­ us and calling the other one Febru­ ary. This twelve-cylinder arrange­ ment has been in vogue evef since, but now that women are getting hold of the ballot, they probably will see a method of growing old still more leisurely and put in six or eight more installments. January, month of bills, robber of our scanty tills, tell me Jany. do, I pray, what's the object, anyway? I pay Jones and he pays White; White pays Brown and Brown pays Wright; Wright then settles with the Lowes, and thus on aud on it goes. And, to liquidate a debt always takes more than we get from the fellow owing us—why, then. Jany, start the fuss? By sonsulting any good almanac, one will find that January is to be a cold month this year—unless the temperature should remain around thirty above, and, unless consider­ able rain or snow falls, the month will be dry. However, no gardens this month—ooal --- ..^rheumatism made this hJ„g ------------------__ are about the . ... ... ... only things that grow well in Janu­ ary. Of course, some scientist that Is‘long on hair and short on brains may tell you there is absolutely no difference between January and July, and that our thinking there is, is due solely to misinformation unconscious­ ly conveyed to the brain via ignor­ ance. Most of us, however, will cling stubbornly to the old-fashioned belief that there is a difference of about 180 days and 120 degrees of temperature, and, that while the scientists may do as they like about it, so long as we know the difference between frost-bite and sunburn, we are not going to frolic with January unless we are clothed in more than imagination. The first day of January, 1914, is the 2,420,134th day since the com­ mencement of the Julian period. You may not believe this, off-handed, but any old maid who has been at all ob­ serving. will confirm the-statement. Another interesting fact in con­ nection with the new year is. that there are to be four eclipses during the twelve months, the honors being equally divided between the sun and the moon. The annular eclipse of the sun comes on February 24, and if you will row out into the middle of the Pacific ocean. and take along a piece of smoked glass you may see it; clearly. A total eclipse of the sun , is scheduled for August 21, and if you happen to be in Europe, Asia, or Africa on that particular date you are entitled to gaxe at this phenome­ non as much as you like, free of charge. The other eclipses, too, will be staged for globetrotters, only, so there is no use of our advertising them very extensively. Sunday, of all days in the week, would seem to be the ledst desirable on which to get stewed, but the moon evidently flguree it differently and will become full on Sunday, the 11th. This will be its first spree of the year and will last until the seventeenth. The weather during January will be almost as changeable as a woman's waist-line, but the following fore­ casts are correct: First to tenth, cold and wet or dry and warm. From the tenth to the twentieth look for wet and cold, or warm and dry weath­ er, and from the twentieth to the close of the month we are almost certain to have damp and chilly weather unless It should be dry and warm. January is about as liberal with holidays as was the proverbial dog in the manger. The opening day Is considered a legal lay-off in all states excepting Kansas and Massachusetts, but bankers are about the only ones who can afford to observe it. Something the Public Misses.

"If that’s unfair.” “It is unfair, if not to me, then to the Woman." “It Is too late to go Into that matter now, Mr. Standish.

STAKT SOMETHING. Did you ever stop to ponder over the fact that the retail merchant* of every city, town and hamlet occupy a position that Is fraught with more thac passing responsibility; that up­ on them and upon their attitude rests tbe fate of the community to a very large degree? ■ It la impossible to escape the fact there never existed a live, aggressive, growing town whose merchants were not up-to-date, progressive and push­ ing an active campaign for extending their business, and that no dead town ever housed a class of retailers of that type. The reason is obvious. A town which attracts trade from the largest possible tributary area Is drawing constant tribute from Its' environ­ ments. possesses a never-failing source of revenue, and has estab­ lished a dominance which is influen­ tial in stimulating every healthful branch of activity, while the town which falls to attract outside custom­ ers .and whose own people go else­ where to do their trading, is doomed to somnolence'and ultimate decay. It is really up to the merchant as an Individual and to the merchants collectively to determine which sort of place they would rather live in and act accordingly. There are many dealers who imagine that they have done all that is required of them when they have borne the brunt of expense for ready-made promotion en­ terprises engineered by interested parties, .but they may submit to all kinds of exactions and impositions without having discovered any bene­ ficent outcome, so long as they are unwilling to take the initiative, make a sensible survey of tbe situation and employ practical method* for getting practical results. If your town is not getting its chare of the business, find out what is the matter and apply the correc­ tive Get together and improve the facilities for/handling th* products which predominate Id your locality. Make conditions attractive for coun­ try customers, not only in your store, but for their general accommodation.

When thia he has a dollar, and a Jew always has one.” Let the dear reader, whether he be a cream producer., buyer, or the one who converts cream Into a more sub­ stantial commercial commodity, the manufacturer, bear in mind that New York Quotations averaged ’for the first three weeks in December, 35.33 cents per pound for butter. This price, of course, waa the average quo­ tations for extras, not choice goods; choice good bringing still greater prices. With an average over-run of twenty per cent., the creamery sell­ ing butter at the above price would realise better than 43 1-2 cents a pound for its butter-fat. Indeed, the writer knows of a creamery that paid 41 cents a pound lor butter-fat to its patrons for the first half of Decem­ ber: the butter made at this cream­ ery was all sold for 37 1-2 cents a pound for the same period. Mr. Cream-producer, what are you getting for your butter-fat—are you producing a quality of cream, the fat of which is worth TODAY forty-one cents a pound? If not, why not? • If you are producing butter-fat that Is worth forty-one cents a pound, why are you not getting it? There may be several reasons why you are hot. First: You may be selling your good cream to an agent of one of the diabolically-devised so-called "cream stations,” and consequently your good can of cream after it Is mixed with that of fifteen or twenty cans of the Inferior stuff, called “cream,” Is worth no more for any purpose than the worst accepted by the agent What in your redress? Cut out the cream station and support the local creamery, if there Is one In your lo­ cality. If* there Is no local cream­ ery, become a booster for one and don’t quit boosting until your boost­ ing powers fall you this side of the great divide. Secondly: You -may be producing butter-fat worth forty-one cents a pound, but are net getting it, be­ cause the individual who buys it from you, through his agent, figures upon paring himself three thousand dol­ lars salary per year, whereas. If someone else was paying him tor his true ability and efficiency, his salary would be six hundred a year, onefifth of his own personal estimate. Also this same man. besides figuring upon a fat salary—without work, counts on fifteen per cent deprecia­ tion upon an imaginary twenty­ thousand dollar Investment, besides eight or ten per cent Interest upon the same visionary possession. These and many other reasons that could be cited may be used to urge the cream producer to boost for the local creamery al) the time. It has been said recently by one of the writers In the Butter, Cheese and Egg Journal. “That farmers are In­ telligent men, and will produce as good quality of milk and cream as they ever did. so soon as the tempta­ tion to do otherwise is removed." The writer concurs in the conclusion, but would Ruggest that the farmer, himself, take the Initiative in remov­ ing the temptation—(Cream Station) by boosting and supporting only the local creamery. Recently the writer has visited for­ ty-eight creameries in Michigan and this is what he found with regard to prices being received for the butter made: Two creameries only were receiv­ ing 38 and 37 1-2 cents per pound for their butter, and these two creameries were paying their patrons 39 1-2 and 41 cents, respectively, per pound tor butter-fat These same two creameries were owned, op­ erated and supported by local dairy­ men, with a good business manager oyer each one, drawing a salary of one (not three) thousand dollars per year. The other forty-six creameries were receiving from 28 1-2 to 35 cents a pound for their butter and were paying their patrons only from 30 to 33 cents per pound for buttertat—What is the moral? THIS: That quality largely regulates the price and that from three to five cream stations In one town regu­ lates the quality; also, just in pro­ portion as the dairyman Ignores the local creamery and supports cream stations, ignoring the quality of the cream delivered there by him­ self or others, in like propor­ tions will we find differences in dairyman ignores the local creamery and supports cream stations. Ignor­ ing the quality of the cream deliver­ ed there by himself or others, In-like proportions will we find differences in prices paid for butter-fat as wide as those given above. And every day that passes with such conditions ex­ isting the dairy Industry of Michigan Is suffering a loss that all other agen­ cies, devoted to its upbuilding, com­ bined. cannot counteract.

In connection with the resignations J. P. Morgan gave out the following statement: “The necessity ot attending many board meetings has bqcn so serious a burden upon ouf time that we have long wished to withdraw from the di­ rectorates of many corporations. Most of these directorships we have accept­ ed with reluctance and only because we feel constrained to keep in touch with properties which wc had organ­ ised or whose securities we have rec­ ommended to the public both here and abroad. Bows to Public Sentiment. "An apparent change in public sen­ timent in regard to directorships seems now to warrant us in seeking to resign from some of these connec­ tions. Indeed, It may be in view of the change in sentiment upon this sub­ ject that we shall be In a better po­ sition to" serve such properties end their security holders if we are not directors., “We have already resigned from the companies and we expect from time to time to withdraw from other boards upon which we feel there Is no impor­ tant obligation to remain." In making the announcement the firm inaugurated a new system of dealing with the public, in limes past the head of the bouse was almost un­ approachable. Telephone notice was ■ent to various newspaper offices ask­ ing that representatives be sent to the Morgan banking house to see Mr Morgan. Mr. Morgan cordially greeted the newspaper representatives: "I have here a little piece ot new* to give you. We are resigning from a number of directorates. 1 have the list here and also a little Interview which explains the reason.” Then Mr Morgan handed around typewritten slips with good wishes.

MUNRO THE MARCO GROCER By AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER­ WIN. "This young Edwards burned down my barn out of malice and I'm going to make him pay for It!" snarled Farmer Sloan. x. _ "He didn't do It at all,” dissented Mrs. Sloan <fuite as positively, “and you ought to be ashamed of yourself for blasting the reputation of a wor­ thy, respectable young man." “Oh, so you're on his s!(Je, too. like that rebellious, self-willed daughter of ours, eh?" sneered Sloan wrathfully. "Funny how these slick young follows pull the wool* over tHb eyes of simple women! Mary's hero is no more than a commou firebug, and if I catch him I'll put, him in jail!” “You'll know better and be sorry for this some time," declared Mrs. Sloan, wiping a tear from her eye with the corner of her apron as she thought of her anxious, nearly heart-broken child. "See here, wife*" orated her selfopinionated husband, “this Edwards chap was a stranger and I don’t trust strangers until 1 weather 'em.through and through. He flitted here and now he’s flitted away, leaving me a thou­ sand dollars the loser. Thd night he left I'd pretty plainly told' him he couldn't come snooping around our Mary any more. What did he do? Out of revenge burns down by barn." "You don't know thaL" “Guess 1 do. Right near it we found bls matchbox, marked with his name The squire cays there's evi­ dence enough, even if Edwards hadn't run away that very same night, afraid to stay and face the music.” Mrs. Sloan was silent for a minute or two. Then sbe sighed deeply, for she had a warm spot in her heart for the cheery, careless young fellow who had come a-wooing Mary. Then she said: “That stubborn, willful nature of yours will never change, I guess. Ezra. Your enmity for this young man is of a piece with the way you treated scared facad, acknowledged IL Sloan gave him half a dozen cuts with a horsewhip 'and he and the father of the lad bad a regular fisticuff battle later on. Young pye told a story that stirred up the town mightily. He had used the boat to visit Sjvamp island, a marshy, densely over-grown island in the middle of the lake, to get some cattails to be used in decorating the Upon landing, the terrified lad had been startled by frantic yells. A great form clothed tn white and waving blazing firebrands bad chased him to the boat It was a "ghost.” and half­ erased with fear at the sight of the dreadful apparition the boy had upset the boat and swam for his life to the mainland. The next night mysterious lights were seen on the island. Recently many fanners had found their chick­ en roosts and pantries despoiled. Did these thefts connect with “the ghost?” A group of boys made up an expedi­ tion to visit the island and rout out Its uncanny guest. That very day, however, a new sen­ sation obscured and eclipsed the cir­ cumstance of the haunted island. Hal Edwards returned to town. He was promptly arrested by a constable, to whom Sloan instantly paid the adver­ tised reward. In some way Hal se­ cured bail and the case was set for a few days later. Sloan came home be­ fore the release, elated and excited. "Well, wife," he pronounced with a gleesome chuckle, “we’ve got the vil­ lain! I hope Mary will forget him after this disgrace. Where is she? I want to give her a sensible talking to.” "You are too late," said Mrs. Sloan gravely. "Mary has left tbe house.” “What! do you mean—not for good?" "I do mean Just that and so does she.” asserted Mrs. Sloan steadily. “Mary heard of your last persecution of the man she loves, packed up her things, has gone to my sister's house and says she will marry Hal Edwards the minute he asks her." Ezra Sloan fumed and stormed. He'd see about this, now! He'd soon have that independent young rebel back under the home roof! And then some quiet, sensible advice from his wife quieted him down considerably. "Mary had taken a firm stand," eaid j Mrs. Sloan. "She is In the right and you won’t move her. Tbe girl has some of your strong, stubborn will. ■ Ezra Sloan, only in a different way.” Farmer Sloan passed an uneasy night. When he got to the court | house the next day bo felt more than [ sheepish, when at the start it was i proven that Edwards had lost the match case a week previously some­ where about the farm. Then there was a great commotion outside of the court rooms. A mob of boys bustled a shrinking, cowering figure into sight. They were the expedition that had gone to explore the nysteries of "the ..........It was old haunted island." ’' Peter, ragged and terrified, whom they brought in as a captive. "I'm the ghost.

"While I was talking to the Asso­ ciated Press office?" “How can I tell, sir?" she asked with smiling - helplessness. "You know we're not allowed to listen to conver­ sations over the wire.' "But you connected me when I called up 4400 Main just now?” "H'm! You remember that, do you? Well, that is the number of the Asso­ ciated Press office. I called up Jen­ nings, the manager. I talked with him a minute. Then he wanted to apeak with Mr. Blake.” "Yes, sir?" asked Wanda, who had been following his recital with th* widened delighted Interest of a child listening to a wondrous fairy tala. "Mr. Blake took th* telephone la­ strument frpm my hands," pursued Mark, unheeding, "and spoke Into IL" "It may not be necessary,’’ suggest­ ed Mark.

"Well," she inquired in weary pa­ tience, “what is it you want me to tell you?” "We want you," replied Mark, “to tell ps a number called up by Mr. Standish early this evening." He paused for her answer. The oth­ er* leaned forward. Wanda alone was unconcerned. She was twisting the little bracelet on her wrist and eying It with new and hap­ pily absorbed Interest from a dozen successive points of view. "Miss Kelly,” demanded Mark, "win you teQ us that number or will you not?" "Why," answered Wanda with a charmingly foolish smile of crass help­ lessness, “I really don't think I can remember It." "I think you can," contradicted Mark. “You knew beforehand, from Mr. Blake, bow much depended on IL You surely remember." “That's so,” acceded Wanda, seeming to grasp the strength of hi* argument as by Inspiration. “I surely musL BuL you see, it’s against the roles to tell.

Then she looked back at Mark as though unwilling to miss a single word of such an enthralling narrative. “BuL” continued Mark, “when he tried to speak to Jennings he found the conntMjiton had suddenly been severed.” "Oh!" There was a world of sympathetic regret In her exclamation. . . “He was told,” said Mark slowly, “he waa told—by you, Mias Kelly— that the line waa out of order.” "Oh, yes!” she cried brightly. "And that must have been why the connec­ tion was cut off. What a shame! Just company's rules. But if it were not when he wanted to talk, too!" "Oh. in a second!

RAID BY BANDITS EXPECTED American Force to March From Vera Crux to Capital and Guard Foreignbo—Villa Captures Ojinsga and Federate Flee to United States. Washington, Jan. 13.—Plans for a march of American marines and blue­ jackets from Vera Crus to Mexico City to protect American and foreign subjects from massacre are being perfected at the war department, awaiting the contingent of a sud­ den seizure of the capital by Zapata. Fears for tbe safety of life from the "scourge of Mexico" have replaced tm easiness as to security of mere prop­ erty in administration circles. The question now troubling official Washington is whether Zapata will not attempt to offset Villa's triumph in the north by assaulting the capital at once. Huerta May Sell Out to Zapata. Villa can move on Mexico City only by a campaign against Torreon, Ban Luis Potosi and other cities on the way. Carranza is far to tbe westward. No constitutionalist leaders in the east can cope with Zapata’s bandit force. One terrible possibility, as viewed here,’ is that Huerta himself may sell out to Zapata, before fleeing the country. Should Zapat» once penetrate the city, American and foreign .residents alike could expect no more mercy from him than would Villa at Huerta’s hands. Women and children would suffer with the men under arms. It is to prevent this horror that the Amer­ ican force now off Vera Crux is wait­ ing orders to go ashore. OJinaga Captured by Villa.

There is one profession that has al­ ways refrained from carrying^a walk­ ing stick. The actor knows well that on the stage be must walk without extraneous support, and he knows that the mere bint of a walking stick In his hand as be walks the streets Is a temptation to lean this way or that. Actors, even when out of a job. never lean on a stick. They know that their balanced walk is their asset. If the whole of society recurs to walking sticks the acton will refrain.

NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, it behoove* the dealer xiid the buyer to look carefully to the financial stability of the automobile manufacturer whose car he con templates'owning. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME occurences of late that should serve a* a warning in this regard. On the other hand, there hasn’t been a failure that wasn’t scheduled. They were foreordained from the first—INEVIT­ ABLE. SOME WERE OVERDUE, in fact. Thanks to the splendid demand for cars, which we and other responsible concerns were' unable to supply in full, some of them were accorded a longer lease of life than their product or ex­ perience or financial backing entitl­ ed them to. THERE WAS NO EXCUSE, however for any buyer being in impended. ignorance of what That was easily foreseen. LET U8 SUGGEST that’ now. you who are in the market for a car look into this matter as it deserves. You owe .it to yourself—and us. ASK Bradstreet’s or Dun’s, Or if you are not a subscriber, ask your Bauker to investigate _ . and inform you. He '* will .................... do it gladly. ASK HIM WHICH ARE the five financially strongest automobile manufacturers. YOU WILL FIND that the Maxwell Motor Company it" one of tbe five—and it will not be fifth in point of stability either. HAVE HIM ANALYZE the latest financial statement* of theee five strongest and tell you which have the greatest amount of assets in proportion to liabilities—in­ cluding bonded indebtedness, etc., of course. We think he’ll tell you the Maxwell Motor Company is one of the leaders. PERHAPS YOU didn’t knowthere's been so much confusion in this matter—that the Maxwell Motor Company ba* uo connection whatsoever with the late MaxweilBriucoe Company except that this concern purchased through the U­ S. Co’urts all the assets, not only of that but of several other concerns. WE STARTED with a clean slate—with plants worth many millions, with ample cash ou baud to take care of our manufacturing operations, etc., WE HAVE no bonded indebted­ ness—no out standing notes nor debts of any kind except current open accounts not yet due. ’ AND TODAY WE ARE nine months old with orders on our books for more than thirty thousand cars. HAS THAT RECORD EVER been surpassed in thin industry! We submit the account of our Bradstreet’s stewardship—ask Dun’s or your . Banker, for further particulars regarding the operations and stability of this Company. THEN YOU’LL feel secure on that point, aud when you compare the cars as carefully there will be only one answer, "Yours will be a Maxwell.” THERE ARE three Maxwell models—the "25” for $750; the *35” for 1225, with electric starter and lights; self-star ting 7-passenger "50-6” for $1975.

The season waned, and the Love­ ly-woman seemed lovelier than ever There was a ball at the hotel. There was a cruuh, or, as the fellows said a "jam." "Everybody"—compre­ hensive term—was there, and "every­ body." was elegantly arayed—the Modern-Apollo was in a state of ex­ hilaration. It was no bard matter to find a se­ cluded nook, on a balcony. The Love­ ly-woman had a fondness for nooks— especially balconies! The music wu quite melting—and so was she!. The orchestra played "Come to Me.

He grew frightened! He went down upon his knees! There was a step nearby, and the Lovely-woman sprang up eagerly: “Oh, such a mistake!” she cried. “How it could have happened! Sosorry I" Approaching, was a bald-headed man with a military mustache and a distinguished air. She took a step to­ ward this individual. "What an opportune arrival! Al­ low me—my husband, the colonei— just came down today.” The Lovely woman tucked her hand confidingly luto tbe arm of the new­ comer. That personage bowed with a. condescension that was maddening. The Modern Apollo made them a. sweeping salute "Most happy—pon my word!" said be. He walked away with dignity, but ail too slowly! He heard the distin­ guished person murmur a question, and the voifce of the Lovely-woman floated back harmoniously, as sberuoved off "So glad you rescued me!

Domestic felicity Is that peculiar •ondition into which married life evolvee when the grocery ■ bill and relatives get more of the dinner table conversation than clubs and matinees. It gives the husband permission to sse the fern bowl as a cuspidor If he chooses, and assures Her it is al­ right to pare potatoes with his safe­ ty razor. It has been known to make life bearable for widowed mothers-in-law and has kept children out of detention homes. Domestic felicity sticks better In homes where the marriage certificate is framed and hanged up than where It is chucked into a trunk and sent to the attic. It doesn't make much of a hit with society and the neigh­ bors, but. it injures a good appetite, prevents wrinkleg, and saves attorney fees. It also induces sound . sleep, and routs nightmare in which less fortunate husband^ find themselves murdered and their wives gone with the chauffeur. This rare gift Is usually .found among the wedding presents wheu the bride and groom have a mutual interest in the event, but is almost invariably over-looked when the at­ traction is staged by a maiden aunt •f the leading lady, or by a wealthy ancle of the actor In conventional black. . Domestic felicity has greater stam­ ina in a cozy home than anywhere •Ise., It can stand a short honey­ moon, but always Is in danger when abroad. Once affected, it is impair­ ed for life. It can, by careful nurs­ ing, be kept alive, but Its weakened 'constitution will be susceptible to every little irritation, and the first headache or soggy biscuit will be very likely to close its eyes in it8| ’last. * long sleep. , LOCAL NEWS.

That the time has come to stop the practice of permitting young men and women without any experience or training to experiment upon children in the role of teacher. Is the belief of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Fred L. Keeler. As a result, Superin­ tendent Keeler Is urging the passage of a law by the next session of the legislature which will require at least six weeks' normal training be­ fore an inexperienced person Is al­ lowed to teach. As tbe various state normals offer summer courses, this requirement will work no hardship. The law is to provide that the em­ phasis In these courses be placed up­ on actual training work, rather then mere academic preparation. Because of tbe popularity of tbe state normal schools, the forty-flve 1county normal training classes of the Ferris Institute, the percentage of trained teachers In Michigan Is high and this has decidedly raised the ।standard of work In the state, espe­ 1cially in the rural districts. The 1enactment of a law as proposed by !Superintendent Keeler would aid ma­ terially In raising this standard.

Jan. 20.—The strike oa the Delaware A Hudson, which be­ gan yesterday morning and by noon had tied up the entire system, was set­ tled last night- Railroad officials met the union’* demands that,they restore two discharged employes, James A. Lynch, an engineer, and F. A. Slade, a conductor, to their former position*. All striker* will return to duty at once. Five thousand were involved in the walkout. G. W. W. Hanger, a member of the federal board of mediation and con­ ciliation, brought about the agreement A settlement was reached only after Mr. Hanger had suggested to the com­ pany officials that they yield to the de­ mands of the men. Arbitration, he de­ clared. wa* impossible. A* soon as Clifford S. .Sims, vice-president and general manager of the railway, and union officials bad signed the agree­ ment order* were sent out for men to Report for work a* quickly a* possible. Many crews that had been tied up at terminal point* were notified by tele­ graph .to resume their run* without re­ porting here. Discharged After Accident Slade and Lynch were discharged more than a year ago when a car on their train Jumped the track and bumped along the ties for three and a half mile*. The men were discharged on the ground that they were negli­ gent and had violated a company rule and caused much damage to property. The union officials replied that the ac­ cident was unavoidable and that no serious damage was done. For sev­ eral month* the company and union officials debated the proposition of re­ storing the men to their place*; then a week ago 98 per cent of the em­ ployes voted to strike If Slade and Lynch were not reinstated, i Entire System Paralyzed. Early yesterday the' first body of men walked out. From then until noon engineer*, conductors, trainmen, telegraph operators and towermen gradually quit, a* the safety of pas sengera would permit. At noon it was estimated that 5.000 men were out, and the entire system was para­ lyzed. Shop worker* and office em­ ployes alone remained on duty. It was less than two hour* after the last striker had left fils work that Mr. Hanger arrived here from New York and began negotiations. Mr. Sim* agreed Immediately to arbitration, but the union officials declared it was use­ less to talk arbitration with them. Within an hour Mr. Hanger decided arbitration wa* impossible, so he drew up an agreement granting the de­ mands. obtained Mr. Sims’ signature and the strike wa* officially declared off a few minutes later.

Check the Measurements of the Maxwell 25-4 sold at $750 with Any car selling from $1,000 to $4,000. Check the Leg Room, Check the Depth and Width of Seat, Check the Upholstery. You will find this a BIG car in inches as well as IMMENSE in efficiency. Note the up-to-date streamline body design, left hand steer, center control. Compare carefully the Maxwell with Any car that is offered you and see if the Maxwell does not figure MORE results to you by the inch for every dollar you spend in a car. After we saw this car DELIVER its power at MAXIMUM efficiency and minimum cost we began to see what a wonderful field there is in store for the Maxwell. The majority of the masses cannot afford the larger, higher priced, more cumbersome cars. Their demands are not for long distance touring, but for every-day business use. ? There are other cars more luxuriously finished and which furnish splendid value on the investment, but we have yet to find a car that better meets the needs of the Average Man or the Average Family than the Maxwell. It only costs $750. The company behind it is one of the strongest financed of any yet organized. Evtry bearing and every part in the Maxwell is of the best material that money can buy. It has the lowest maintenance cost of any medium priced car. It responds quickly, is always ready to go, rain or shine, and produces SERVICE instead of consuming patience and costing its owner continual annoyance. , 5 We want you to investigate this car thoroughly, in fact we DARE you to! It is at our garage in Nashville awaiting your inspection. Come and see it, ask any questions you care to concerning it and we will try to answer them fairly and impartially. ' » A. E.

Railroad Commissioner Glasgow received the following letter from the General Superintendent of the Michi­ gan Central Railroad last week: Detroit, Mich., January 17, *14. My Dear Mr. Glasgow: Passenger conductors running be­ tween Jackson and Grand Rapids in­ form me that more cash fares are collected from passengers taking the trains at Nashville than from any other point between Jackson and Grand Rapids on the Grahd Rapids division. Knowing you to be thoroughly familiar with conditions there 1 wish you would determine if there Is any good reason for tikis’ Your truly, S. W. Brown. Commissioner Glasgow feels that this Is simply a matter of carelessness on the part of people here for he well knows that Nashville people appreci­ ate not only the fine depot and grounds which the Michigan Central maintain here bnt also the splendid train service given which is not ex­ ceeded at any other point in the state aside from the large towns on the Main line. When the citizens of any locality ask for any changes, improvements or other conditions than exist which demands any expenditure of money, the officers of the company are gov­ erned largely by the earnings of the station, therefore If for no other rea­ son our people should buy tickets, for by the fajlure to buy tickets.

F., is the verdict of al! who were pres­ ent at the big meeting held by that fraternity last* Wednesday evening. Nashville lodge had Issued invita­ tions to several of the neighboring lodges, and Charlotte. Vermontville, Hastings and Middleville responded with large delegations. The eve­ ning trains from the east and west were met by reception committees, and the guests were escorted to the rooms of the Nashville Club, where they amused themselves at billiards and cards until supper was an­ nounced. The banquet, prepared by the Odd­ fellows themselves, was served at 6:30, at the hall .over McDerby’s store, and about 250 of the threelinked brethren did their best to make away with the sumptuous ar­ ray of edibles. Following the supper, the company repaired to the club auditorium, which had been transformed into a lodge room, and witnessed the con­ ferring of the first rank on a class of ten candidates, furnished by the various lodges. The work, which was done by the Nashville first de­ gree team, was very impressive and was warmly praised by all present. After the work, Grand Master H. A.

Misunderstanding of Orders Causes Head on Collision Near Jackson. Four persons are dead and a num­ ber injured as the result of a headon'collision of a passenger train on the Saginaw division of the Michigan Central and a local freight Just this side of Jackson, about ten o'clock Sunday night. According to the re­ ports of railroad officials the freight had orders to meet the passenger on a switch Just north of where the wreck occurred, but for some reason the orders were overlooked, with the above mentioned result. The force of the collision was so ■great that the smoking car was tel­ escoped over and completely envel­ oped the baggage car. Windows In the remaining coaches were broken and the passengers hurled headlong from their seats. The passenger en­ gine was lifted partly from the tracks, and the freight engine was forced onto the cars back of It. The cars were so smashed and interlocked that It was several hours before the rescuers were able to free the victims from the wreckage. The fireman and engineer of. the freight and the fireman of the pas­ senger escaped sure death by Jump­ ing from the cabs, sustaining slight injuries, but Cal Johnson, engineer on the passenger, stuck to his post long enough to apply the air brakes and was caught between the cab and tender in the crash and instantly killed. The other victims were oc­ cupants of the smoking car. LOCAL NEWS. Read Rothhaar's advt.—Advt. Get Sal-Vet at Glasgow’s. Advt. W. A. Quick was at Lansing Mon­ day. Dress goods snaps. McDerby’s. Advt.

He advocated sanitary, conditions of their- feeding and sleeping placea.and thought that they should have a balanced ration as well os other animals. The sub­ ject was discussed by F. B. Garrett, 1. W. Cargo, I. Chapman and Chair­ man Brumm. The crowd, which by this time had nearly reached the 200 mark, then adjourned to the base­ ment of the church, which' has just been completed, and were .served a bountiful dinner. The Assyria peo­ ple are to be congratulated upon their up-to-date new basement, which makes an ideal place for serving such dinner*. The afternoon session vas opened with - singing by the chorus, which was composed of a number of young people who were trained by Mr*. Nina Tasker and they certainly did credit to their training. A short business meeting was held and it was decided that the institute would be held next year at Lacey and Wm. Jones was named for local chairman. Chairman Brumm then named Bert Shepard to pass among the crowd and take the names of those who wished to become mem­ bers of the State association. The chairman then introduced Commis­ sioner E. J. Edger of Barry county, who in a few remarks said that he was glad to see the Teachers' and Farmers' Institute combined again, as for the parft few year they seemed to have drifted apart/ He also paid a fine tribute to. the dinner by saying that whenever an Institute was men­ tioned to him the thoughts of just such a dinner arose in his mind. • Mr. Lurkins then spoke on “Why use the Silo?" One advantage was that of getting the crop of corn off the ground early and thus being able to cover the ground with anoth­ er crop which enables the farmer to preserve the soil bacteria and keep ills ground in much better condition. He also advised the use of two silos, one for summer as well as winter. He said Michigan. Was too valuable for pasture. He said they had found on their farm that ensilage was aa beneficial tc other stock as to dairy cows and even their poultry received their share. Although he war ad­ vertising no silo he was in favor of the cement silo on account of its lastings qualities. .This was discussed by G. Moore, J. W. Cargo. Bert Shep­ ard, F. B. Garrett, . Mr. Farley and others. Duet, "Come To Me." by Mrs. Hugh Jones and Mrs. Lynn Shepard was nicely rendered and greatly en­ joyed. They were heartily encored but did not respond with a second number. . The crowd then arose and sang America. The next on the_ program was a paper, "The ' Making of a Man," by Robert Martin, but as he was not present the chairman then introduced Mr. Townsend the school commis­ sioner of Clinton Co., who spoke on rural schools. He said that the school was but an expansion of the home and that school work and farm work should naturally be combined as the school tended to make better farmers and farm homes. He said that education was the development of a man from the cradle to the grave and the child drink* in as much from home surroundings as from school and would of course drink in without school but the school acts as a bal­ anced ration to give some system to the education. He also spoke of the interior of the rural schools being made more pleasant and said that the city schools paid a great deal of attention to such matters, while most of the rural school rooms were very bare. The chorus then favored us with a song and the meeting was ad­ journed until evening. Several remained at the church, where sup­ per was served. The evening session was opened by two songs by the chorus, after which Mr. Lurkins gave a very fine talk on "Why not b« satisfied with Michi­ gan?” He spoke first of keeping the boys at home by becoming partners with their fathers. He said that boys of teday were different from the boys cf fifty years ago; they need re­ sponsibility to bring out their best efforts. He then spoke of the lure of the West He explained that if boys would stay in Michigan and work as hard and live in the same way they do in the west, they could accumulate more in tne same length of time. He told of being in the west himself and at a hotel dinner of the things In the room and upon the table that came from good old Michi­ gan. Mr*. Anna Thomas then recited “A Convict’s Soliloquy” in her usual pleasing way and was greatly ap­ plauded. The chorus then sang, “Michigan, My Michigan." Mr. Townsend then spoke of the future farmer. He pointed out a very dif­ ferent farmer for the future. One " who’is more of a scholar and has wider view* of life. He says__ the children are being educated along that line and that a few years' are going to make a great change. Af­ ter another song by the chorus, all went to their homes, feeling that it had been a day profitably spent. The Assyria Farmers’ club will hold its February meeting with Mr. and Mr*. Milton Hartom.

Ample room for five full grown adults. Though lighl.in weight, this automobile is "Big" in inches as well as "Immense” in efficiency. Up-to-date stream-line body design, left hand steer, center control and many other features of the highest priced cars. Price $750, fully equipped, z THE MAXWELL has proved the center of attraction at the New York and Detroit shows. You will find it the same at Chicago this week and at Grand Rapids February 9-14. SOLID TRAIN LOADS are ■already being shipped south, east and west. This car is not over niue months old and has not been offered for sale more than half that time, yet orders have already been taken for over 30,000. IT IS ONLY LOGICAL to assume that the informed buyers are going to in- • sist upon the ‘‘biggest’’ automobile in the world as their automobile. —OF COURSE WE MEAN biggest in value sense—and that means the Max­ well “25.” . . JUST WHAT MAKES for bigness in an automobile anyway? We believe that the value of a car is measured largely by just what it can do for its —owner. OUR CONTENTION IS that the biggest automobile in the world is the one that does the biggest things—and does bigger things than a bigger car can do at the same cost You will have to admit that this is horse sense. THEN YOU WILL ALSO have to admit, by the same token, that the Max­ well is the “biggest” automobile in the world. —« THE AVERAGE PRESENT DAY buyer is not only concerned with the first cost of the car, but he has been taught by experience to consider the after cost In the Maxwell this shrewd buyer finds his ideal because its con­ struction means the absolute minimum of after maintenance. EASY ENOUGH TO SAY. We can prove it beyond theshadow of adoubt Listen I ALL TIRE MAKERS AGREE that cost of upkeep increases in exact propor­ tion to the square of the weight. By the same sort of reasoning, if 'you cut the weight in two you split the upkeep cost by four. Simple when you come to figure it out THIS 1,650 POUND five-passenger car represents a minimum lightness with­ out loss of power or durability. There you have the reason for the world-wide Maxwell success. BUT ONE GLANCE at the Maxwell convinces even the most skeptical that beauty and refinement have not been side tracked for utility. THINK OF A CAR so sturdy that it will stand up under the neglect it will receive fmm the average owner, and yet eo light that the tire bills and after cost are within the purse of the great majority of buyers. WELL MAY WE CALL IT an engineering triumph, this Maxwell. BUT IF YOU FIGURE ON profiting by this marvelous engineering feat you will have to get a hustle on yourself, for solid trainload demands will soon cause a famine of these wonderful care—for even our great plants will not be equal to the task of turning out the world’s supply.

FEBRUARY. For an editor to write a favorable l realise on February Is about as easy as It Is for him to help a pesti­ lential old sinner through the pearly gates with an obituary full of lies, when the said old sinner owed the editor a subscription account that had been outlawed by time. Its one redeeming feature Is Its brevity. The month, however, is as full of action as a picnic party that has set­ tled down on an ant hill. Embryo presidents, In their Friday a."ternoon exercises, will Inform their school­ mates that Lincoln, the great eradlcator, was born on the 12th, and later crossed the Delaware and be­ came the father of his country, and that Washington died on the 22nd after discovering the Panama canal and freeing the slaves. The weath­ er bureau, too, was born the 9th of February. 1870, and has been mak­ ing and breaking promises ever since. The fourteenth of the month will bring- the same old tales of love, when girls, though large aselephants, are called a turtle dove; for Valen­ tine* will ripen then, and pairs begin to spoon—the starting of some big events to culminate in June. The twenty-fifth will also bring respite —at least a while—from turkey­ trots, the bunny hug. and other dances wild, for Lent begins the twenty-fifth, to rest our weary lives, and men, perchance, may once more meet their daughters and their wives. Seamless hose were invented Feb. 1, 1720—just 194 yeart before the invisible hose of today. The first pair of seamless hose were about half an inch thick and were worn as protection against cold. The mod­ ern hose are about as thick as a clgaret paper, split twice, and no one knows why they are worn. The closing of the month will bring the candidates to light—an army of exhalted men, who for us want to fight; they seek to bring sal­ vation to the lowly of our kind, but after they’re elected, our existence slips their mind. BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. The attendance at church and Sun­ day school is increasing. At the B.'Y. P. U. meeting Sunday evening the topic was "The Chal­ lenge of the Life of Adonlram Jud­ son to the Young of Today." It was a very interesting meeting. It was a little over 100 years ago that Jud­ son landed in Burma. Then the en­ tire country was heathen and hardly at all civilized. Now there are 90.­ 000 Christians in Burma, and civil­ ization is as far advanced as in Spain. As the result of missions, schools and and colleges abound. Still not even yet is one person in a hundred a Christian. Much work remains to be done. But the missionary of to­ day does not have to undergo the hardships that Judson endured. The change in Burma as the result of mis­ sions is little short of miraculous. The B. Y. P. U. next Sunday at 6 p. m. will be led by Grace Hopkins. The social and business meeting will be held with Mrs. Dahlhouser Tuesday evening. February 3. The Ladies' Aid society will meet with Mrs. W. K. Cole Wednesday, at 2 p. m.. February 5.

Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, had charged that “if the strike ol the copper miners In Michigan is lost It will be due directly, to the inactivity of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor," the Convention of the Unites Mine Workers of Amer lea voted unanimously to request Sam­ uel Gompera, president of the federa­ tion, to appear before the convention and explain the attitude of the coun­ cil. President Moyer was given a great oratioa when introduced by John P. White, president of the coal miners. His speech was followed by John H. Walker a coal miner and president of the Illinois State Federation of La­ bor. Walker told of the conditions in the copper country aa be found them during the ten weeks he was there as a representative of the coal miners. Quit Dealing With Gunmen. "We should quit dealing with the hired gunmen of the corporation.’’ Walker declared, “and get the man that is really responsible for the state of affairs. 1 don’t wish any one to construe my words into requesting an attack on any one, but I could not find .t in my heart to condemn any man or woman, if, driven to it by their suf­ fering, they should wreak vengeance of ’Big Jim* McNaughton, the general manager of the copper company, and his hirelings. "I firmly believe Big Jim’ was re­ sponsible for the Christmas eve dis­ aster at Calumet. Mich..” Walker added. Says Two Appeals Were Made. President Moyer declared that two appeals had been made to the Ameri­ can' Federation ‘of Labor executive council at Washington for aid for the copper strikers and that so far no ac­ tion had been taken. In speaking of the assault on himself and his alleged deportation from the strike zone, he said the treatment accorded him was not worse, and in many cases much less, than that dealt out to hundreds of men and women tn the rank and file of the strikers of Michigan and Colorado. “The only difference between the treatment accorded -me and the rank and file," Moyer continued, “is that the attack on me. as a representative' of the western federation, was given more publicity and caused a howl of indignation to arise throughout the land.” President White, in the name of the convention, assured Mr. Moyer of the continued moral and financial support of the coal miners. Attack Copper Indictments. Houghton. Mich., Jan. 27.—A mo­ tion to quash the Indictments re­ turned by the special grand jury against copper mine strikers and offi­ cials of the Western Federation of Miners was filed by attorneys for the accused men when they were ar­ raigned In the Houghton circuit court. Connsei for the defendants, in their motion, attacked the legality of the grand jury's deliberations. No True BTh in Moyer Case. Houghton. Mich., Jan. 26.—A “no true bill" was reported by the special grand jury which has been Investigat­ ing the alleged kidnaping and forcible deportation of Charles H. Moyer and James Tanner, afllcials of the Western Federation of Miners, on the night of December 26. Mr. Niebols, special prosecutor, said he had explained tc the jury that. In bls opinion, the statute on kidnaping did not apply to the deportation of Mr. Moyer and Mr. Tanner because the union men were not forcibly sent out of the state, but were left to take their own course this side of the state line, and because there could *be no possible claim that there was any Intent to con­ fine them against their will within the state or to hold them in service out­ side the state. Twenty-seven witnesses were ’ex­ amined in the Moyer case and the jury deliberated over it for two days. The grand jury presentment signed by *he special prosecutor said John MacNaughton. brother of the manager of the Calumet & Hecla company, was present when Mr. Moyer was attacked.

Lack of space.pre­ vented our printing it in the account of the meeting last week.) Two boys in a neighborhood both stuttered. One went away to school and was taught to say. '‘Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." He said. !t over to bis friend, who listen­ ed with' admiration, then said: "The only trouble with P-P-Peter P-PPiper is h-h-hqw you g-g-going t-to use it tn ordinary c-c-c-c-conversatlon?” So with much of our modem socalled education; how are you going to use it in ordinary life? Pupils are turned out of school with only the rudiment* of ‘the necessary things. They do not think—very few know how to study. Perhaps four or five tn a high school do all their own work. Go to school and see the oth­ ers flock around these to ask. ques­ tions or to copy problems. If you want to know what the others are getting out of ft. If you know how to study, it Is not necessary to go to college-—the college will go through you, which Is much better. The main lack of high schools and colleges is practical application. Girls do not learn that soda and sour milk are also chemis­ try, neither do boys learn how to boost up a weight with a lever with the least exertion. A Chicago teacher, who has classes of delinquent boys from the Chicago high schools, has bought a big farm at Paw Paw and brought a hundred or more of them ' here. He says those boys leave high school because of lack of practicability. They can­ not see that they are learning any­ thing that is ever going to help them.

Mrs. DeRiar, Mrs. Fay Green and Mrs. Dan Feighner were visitors In room II- recently. . The second and third grades enjoed a sleigh-ride party a short time ago. Miss Beatrice Zorn started In school Monday, entering the third grade. Tbe fourth grade Is learning for language, 4,The Wind and the Moon.” Mrs. Etta Baker visited room III Monday afternoon. The fifth grade Is studying Islands of the Pacific ocean. The sixth grade in arithmetic is studying profit and loss. Last Wednesday the pupils of the fifth grade wrote compositions, using for their theme, a personal experi­ ence. The sixth grade Is reading the story. "Horatius and the Bridge”. 0. M. McLaughlin visited room IV recently. The eighth grade pupils in history are preparing a written report on the life of Lincoln preparatory to a study of the Civil war. Room five had an average at­ tendance of ninety-eight per cent and no tardiness for last month; this en­ titles them to a half holiday. The eighth grade Is studying in­ terest in arithmetic this week. The seventh and eighth grades are required to give two current events each week. Most of the pupils sub­ scribed for ’’Current Events" to aid in this work. Tbe class In English XII has finish­ ed reading "Hamlet". This week special study of thought, motive and plot will be taken up. The class in both divisions of An­ cient history is beginning to study Roman history. The class in English X is engaged in the study of the essay form of composition,. as shown in the works of Emerson. Modern history students are watch­ ing the growth ot the spirit of liberty in France. '* The class of Latin IV began the study of verbs of the third conjuga­ tion. The Sophomore class has com­ menced the study of geometry. The class of German VI is busy with the study of pronouns. The class of German XII is spend­ ing some time writing letters. Soon each member of the ciass hopes to be Corresponding with some one in Ger­ many. . Geometry XI has taken up the study of solid geometry. The PurjK»*e»» of Literariee. The literaries given by the high school students have many purposes. They not only entertain the parents and people of Nashville. bin, develop the ability of the students to be able to give a part on the program with ease and self-reliance. The work of the students, such as sewing and manual training, is ex­ hibited occasionally at the literaries. thus showing the parents the work that is being done in the school, but on the other hand, the regular liter­ ary work is more important. The presence of the. parents at the literaries show their -interest in this special line of work. Their attend­ ance at nearly all the literaries has been large and has shown the par­ ents' Interest, which is highly appre­ ciated. The literaries are not for the mon­ ey taken, for this is of minor impor­ tance, but for the drill obtained by i he students. Some students are ex­ tremely timid, but in appearing successtully on the program of two or three literaries this fault is overcome. Is it not true then that when in later life these people are asked to appear on some program, to give a recitation or short talk, they will be able to do it. having overcome all dreAd of ap­ pearing in public during high school days?

Nashville is assured a good band for next summer. A number of the boys have organized and are holding rehearsals every week, under the di­ rection of H. W. Walrath. As most of tbe members are old players it will take but little time and practice to round them into shape, and they should be able to dispense a high class <of music by the time the sum­ mer season opens. The first real Michigan snow storm of the season which happened along last Saturday kept the usual large throng ot week-end shoppers at home and Main street was practically de­ serted the greater part of the day. The merchants were not idle, how­ ever. as It required almost continual work with shovel and broom to keep the walks in passable condition, it is estimated that a foot of snow fell and tbe wind piled it up in hugb. drifts. Slow collections and unusually heavy withdrawals of deposits caused the Citizens bank of Bellevue to close ita doors Tuesday morning of last week. Cashier B. D. Vaughan states that the deposits are about 100,000 and that these constitute the only liabilities. The assets amount to about $150,000. and as these are largely gilt edged farm loans the de­ positors will undoubtedly receive one hundred cents on the dollar as soon as collections can be made. A num­ ber of Bellevue business men are in-' terested In a movement to reorganize the Institution as a state bank.

Every onen In the true sense of the word has a calling, but not all are wise in choosing their vocation in life; we see many that fail, this fail­ ing is caused by lack of gooff judg­ ment in choosing a vocation. The old saying is that it takes all kinds ot people to'make a world, and each individual is as a brick in the wall of c great temple, each indi­ vidual depending upon others. Most people think that anyone can be a successful farmer; this we know is not true, for we see as many fail in that as in any other profession. Neither can all make an equal suc­ cess ns a merchant,' doctor or teach­ er. Every class of people depends upon some other, but we all depend on the farmer to feed us. The far­ mer feeds us all in every sense of the word. If every person would choose , the calling to which he is best adapted., things would go along In this old world like well-oiled machinery.

Memory. You can train your memory to be­ come a guide to lead you only into lands of sheer delight, where crystal streanu flow pure and where beckoniag angel figures lead you on to yet more and more loveliness.

Among the more important’ inven­ tions of recent years is the Msxim si­ lencer. - This Is an apparatus for sending noise Into retirement. As yet It is applicable only to fire-arms, but time will bring it around to the piano and grand opera singer. Even in its present form it is working won­ ders in the preservation of our game animals. Hunters may now shoot the powder factories above the oil trust In the financial column and yet not frighten the game in the least. The Instrument Is also useful in set­ tling feline disputes and eradicating pessimists without committing one­ self. The vacuum cleaner is alate inven­ tion for boosting families up the so­ cial ladder. Its territory, too. re­ mains to be extended to politics and vaudeville. Wireless telegraphy was get­ ting a good start, but the advent qf airships will necessitate its recall un­ til whistles can be applied to the messages. Typewriters are of two kinds; the useful and the ornamental. The use­ ful ones are made of- iron and steel, and a hundred dollars buys one for keeps. The other kind Is made of bon-bons, a commercial course, and an informal disposition. These cost from three to twenty-five dollars a week and the installments keep on coming. The ffrst named facilitates business matters; the others compli­ cate domestic affairs. The gasoline engine is an Invention for the prevention of Christianity. They can run like a Southern Demo­ crat when they want to, but are as contrary as a minority leader. . Among the mistakes inventors have made are dentists, castor oil and affinities. WOODLAND. Rev.

And at a price no other maker has ever before been able to produce such a car—$750. The result of more concentrated experience, engineering and metallurgical knowledge, manufacturing skill and financial resources than any other, this car justifies our efforts and fulfills our fondest hopes. It was designed to meet the ideas and the needs of tens of thousands of discriminating buyers—not beginners but experienced motorists—who must consult the purse and yet who detest and decline to wear a uniform and are willing to pay a little more for a car that is a lot better.

FURNISS & WOTRING THE REXALL STORE MEN’S MASS MEETING. The importance of the subject un­ der discussion and the fact that the speaker, Judge Clark E. Higbee of Grund Rapids, was a former Nash­ ville resident and a graduate of the’ local high school, attracted an un­• usually large gathering of men and boys at the mass meeting at the, opera house Sundays afternoon. Mr. Higbee's dally duties and bls con­. tinual contact with youthful offenders। enable him to speak from experience on juvenile court and social welfare1 work. He spoke feelingly of the wave of evolution which is sweep­ ing over the country today in regard to the conservation of the greatest of national resources, the coming . generation, and noted the institution of juvenile courts, where a little sympathy and good common sense in the treatment of delinquent youths has been the means of turning the paths of many toward decency and good citizenship, as one of the most important steps In progression. He stated that a majority of the cul­ prits that camp under bis jurisdiction in Grand Rapids came from abnor­ mal families, home conditions being directly responsible for their trans­ gressions, and compared the results of the present method of dealing with them in a kindly manner, furnishing a charge of environment if the case warrants, and the old custom of thrusting them in jail among hardened recidivists. The old Grecian custom of exposing the in fants to the elements in practical test of the theory of the surviva’ of the fittest was commended, and the speaker averred that some such drastic measure was necessary at the present time to entirely solve the so­ cial problems of today. Mr. Hig­ bee’s remarks were both interesting and Instructive, and we are confident that there was not a man present but who felt amply repaid for the time spent in attending the meeting. The Y. M. C. A. proposition, which was to have been settled at this meet­ ing was postponed for two weeks and a committee appointed to secure competent speaker to explain th.work in detail at that time.

BROWN GRAHAM OR Ail WHEAT FLOUR The germ Is the most alive part of the grain and it is well established that the nearer to life the food is the better it is as food. It is also true that the more perishable it is the more important that it be consumed without delay. The qualities are good foreman, bad for commerce. The real reason why white flour and white bread is sold and consumed is that there are. milling Interests, commercial reasons which control. We have forgotten that mills and commerce exist for man, and not man for the sake of milling and commerce interests. If the mill were brought nearer the bakeshop and the bakeshop nearer the consumer, a graham loaf could be made and baked thoroughly that would have such a nutty taste and appetising flavor that it would win its way to popular favor and prove a potent help in those processes of stom­ ach and bowel movements which are so necessary to the welfare of hu­ man life. When the staff of life is restored to*its proper place in our die­ tary, it probably will contain all that Is packed up in those precious pack­ ages called grains, including the bran and the germ. All white flour is served as a cure for chronic dyspepsia, as it contains more sugar than white flour ahd its ash is much richer In alkaline properties. Kyser’s Mill is the only mill where you get pure, al! wheat flour and stone-ground buckwheat flour. KYSER MILLING COMPANY NINE OUT OF TEN " SICK" HOGS 6.

The sentiment is wrong. Man wants just now all he can get In way of sordid tin: The way that some go after it ■ Seems like a very sin. Man 'wants a fancy touring car, He want* a private yacht; "He wants to get a lot of jnnk His neighbors haven’t got. He wants a lot of suits of clothes. And rare gems for his wife; He wants a chateau by the sea. To make complete his life. He wants a lot of stocks and bonds And Standard Oil preferred. He also wants a lot of things Of which he never heard. He doesn't really want them In true sense of the.term; •But thinks he does and that's the same. . And so he’ll work and squirm To garner everything in sight And keep it stored away: He saves a lot of useless junk To meet the rainy day; And when he dies and passes on. He leaves it all behind, Because he cannot take along A thing of any kind. . 'Twould suit a lot of men first rate If they were but endowed With brains sufficient to Invent A pocket for the shroud. MAPS WILL AID TRAVELERS. Framed maps, showing all the i principal points of Interest, the names of important waterfalls, their height, the elevation of various peaks, and other useful information, will be framed and hung up in the i observation cars of a western rallroad. Maps prepared by the United States Geological Survey will be ased. I The manager of the road believe* I that travelers who are stranger* Ln • this territory will find these maps | and the Information that they carry of touch helpful Interest. How the Children Graded. An experiment carried on recently with school children to determine how the foreign born compared with ths native born shows how marked in ef­ fect the environment in this country has on immigrants. It was found that the children with the lowest standing in school were foreign born. The next lowest were those born of foreign-bora parents; the next after them were of parents born in this country, and th. highest were those whose grandpar­ ents or great-grandparents were born here. Sharp Student. “If 20 men reap a field In eight । hours, bow long will it take 15 men to reap the same field?" a student was asked. He thought long before writ­ ing down his answer, and when ha banded in his paper this Is what th* examiner read: "The field, having al­ ready been reaped by the 20 men, could not be reaped a second time by the 15." n Newest as well as the Oldest Car at the' Show I MAXWELL 25-4 $750 THE OLDEST and yet the newest car in this year's Automobile Shows was the Maxwell ‘‘25." NO NAME dates farther back in this industry—and yet if you look where the crowds blocked the aisle, you’ll agree that visitors considered the latest Maxwell—the "25-4”—the newest of them all. TO SAY this $750 car waa the “Sensation'' of the 1914 Shows, would be trite—tho true. It was more than that. It was Revolutionary. REVOLUTIONARY, because never before has it been possible to obtain a car of such eixe, such capacity, such power, such performance and of such quality throughout, as you will see in this Maxwell “25” at the price, $750 fully equipped. REVOLUTIONARY, too, because maintenance cost has been reduced to the minimum, by putting in this car the best steels known to science— thus making it light, yet practically indestructible. So you can now not only afford to buy, but to keep an automobile. WE CALL IT an engineering triumph. And you’ll agree we are Justified when you recall that for years, hundreds of thousands have been look­ ing. hoping for such a car at the price. WE SAY this car was the Oldest car in the Shows—because more years of experience, more combined engineering skill, more know-how have gone into it than ever went into any other automobile at the price. AND, BACKING UP that experience, that skill, that know how, is as much money as ever backed an automobile concern. ADD TO THIS, honesty of purpose, pride, and desire to make good and to deserve well at the hands of every owner—and you have the ele­ ments that combined have produced this car that was the wonder of the Shows, that blocked the aisle in front of the exhibit and thereby was proclaimed the Newest as well as the Oldest car in the Show. The Pioneer of the past, and of the future, the Maxwell “25.” BASSETT’S GARAGE A. E. BASSETT, Proprietor.

THE NEWSPAPER JOB. Many people believe that a news­ paper falls together without work or concerted action or plan. Rev. Mc­ Leod, a Presbyterian minister of Pas­ adena, California, was of this opinion and asked to be allowed to edit an edition of the Pasadena Star. The editor gladly accepted the opportuni­ ty to go fishing, and the minister took up his duties in the newspaper of­ fice. This is how he felt when he found himself at the end of the task, which it must be said, bad been done quite creditably. “My time is almost up. as I pen this last line; my hand almost par­ alyzed. my brain is befuddled, >nd I am free to confess that I am right glad to* vacate the holy spot. Such rush and riot and disarray. Such a jumble of potpourri: it strikes me bh an effort to bring order out of chaos, and do it lightning quick. “I am reminded of the memorable words: ’The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the waters.'

Pinkney s famous words, "MUIions for defense but not one cent tor tribute.” Some time later he was crossing a field on foot and an angry bull chased him. He made a tremendous effort to get to the fence first and this is what he said: “Millions for de fence, but not one cent for de brute.” Told by tho Eyes. Greenish, hazel and spotted eyes are accompanied, usually, with shrewd, quick, nervous, restless temperaments. According to Professor Hudson. Asiat­ ics. with hazel eyes are cunning gid weasel-like. Contrary to the popular notion, persons with green eyes are too indifferent in passion to be at all jealous of the opposite sex; they are. however, frequently envious of their own. Memory a Storehouse. Professor Bergson believes that memory is imperishable; that all we have thought, felt and experienced in past life is in some way stored up and may, under favorable circuacstances, be revived in dreams; and that the totality of the past Is Involved in the present as a rolling snowball gathers up all that is in Its path.

Juarez, Feb. 23.—Resistance to Gen­ eral Villa's barring him from Mexico brought on the execution of William 8. Benton, British subject and owner of a 100,0OU-scre ranch in Chihuahua, according to the record of the courtmartial that condemned Benton to death. It was charged that he tried to murder" Villa while resisting the general’s decree. The official record wae revealed. It opens with the statement that an extraordinary council of • war was convened at 4:16 o’clock last Tuesday by Col. Fidel Avila. The council convened a court-martial, of which Maj. Jesus Rodriquex waa presi­ dent. There were four other judges. "Villa”' continues the report, “states that because Benton was a foreigner his property has not been confiscated, but he must remain out of the coun­ try because he was an element de­ structive of .the peace and prosperity of the country. “Drew Pistol on Villa." "The accused answered in harsh and violent terms and asserted that no hu­ man power could keep him out of Mexico or cause him to desert his •property to further depredations. "Then he eald he was as good a man as Villa and at the same moment he drew a pistol from his hip pocket But the general was ready and jumped for him and struck, at the same time the persons present leaped on him that he might not make an at­ tempt on the life of General Villa." Benton's Testimony Given. The record gives Benton’s testimony indirectly as follower "He said he came at 10 or 11 o'clock tn the morning to see General Villa and inform him that revolutionists or at times parties of bandits had dune much Ramage to his ranch, destroying property and stealing cattle. He had come to tell Villa of thebe things, but the general accused him of being friendly to the federals, and suggested that the rebels buy the ranch, as the witness was not wanted in Mexico. "The witness told General Villa that he was unjust and several other things that annoyed the general, but witness had no intention of harming the general or anyone else. He eald he had nothing to do with Huerta or the red flaggers and was indifferent to the politics of the country. This Quick & Co. W. H. MYERS IN Truth Imperative.

Feb. 24.—Upon the de­ velopments of the next day or two in the case of William 8. Benton, the British ranchman, executed by Villa, the constitutionalist general, at Juarez, seems to rest whether the senate will take a band In the Mexican situation. Acting Chairman Shively of the for­ eign relations committee after a con­ ference with President Wilson said if the senate discussed Melxco it prob­ ably would be upon some of the pend­ ing resolutions, which for months. Lave been sidetracked, that the administra­ tion might be left fret to deal with the problem. There are three such. One by Sena­ tor Penrose proposes that ’United States troops be placed In Mexico as a constabulary for the protection of Americans. Another by Senator Fail proposes to put the senate on record to the effect that Americans.and their property must be protected. Still an­ other by Secretary Sheppard concerns recognition of the belligerency of the constitutionalists. If administration leaders let the Mexican situation break out In senate debate It prob­ ably will be upon either or both of the first two. Shively and Wilton Confer. Senator Shively obtained all the in formation received by the president as to the killing of Benton. The senator said afterward that the Benton Incldent was "still In the process of in­ vestigation."

But you must raise the right varieties, you must care for your, orchards properly, and you must sort and pack your fruit as they do here. Within a few years you will be doing it, and the fellows who gel into the game first will be the first to reap the bene­ fits. .

Is ex­ pensive. 1 don’t believe you Mich­ igan farmers have much of an idea of the natural advantages you have over most of this western country, yet agricultural lands are much high­ er in price here than in Barry county. If .F was going into farming today, I should buy a farm in good old Mich­ igan. We arrived in Spokane at nine o’clock in the evening, and found my brother Irve waiting for us. He took us out to his pleasant home on the hills in the south part of town, a very pleasant residential section, where we have been entertained dur­ ing our stay in the city. We have also met Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Smith, formerly of NaabviBe, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Emery, formerly of Char­ lotte. who have helped to make our stay here very pleasant Spokane Is a very handsome and interesting city, but is just now go­ ing through a.spell of very hard times. The trouble is that the town has grown too fast for the surround­ ing country, and is now under the ne­ cessity of marking time until the country catches up with it In the meantime, those firms which are strong enough financially to weather the stress are fortunate, while the weak ones are gradually dropping out. Spokane will be a bully town inside of five years if the supreme court will give it an even break with the coast cities in the famous freight rate cases now awaiting a decision. Tuesday morning, the 17th, Irve and I started for a trip through the Coeur D’Alene mining district of Northern Idaho, and it was a most interesting trip.. We went by train to Amaco, by boat across Coeur D’­ Alene lake to Harrison, by train to Wallace, the big central town of the district, then on to Mullan, where we camped for the night. This town of Mullan is a typical western mining town, but recently purged of its most undesirable features and com­ ing under the reign of law and order. It is in the very heart of the richest portion of the Coeur D'Alene*, with producing mines and many more good prospects on every hand. We climbed up into the moun­ tains, visited mines and pros­ pects, followed creeks up gorges to find a trail through the snow to some dark hole into the mountain side, un­ til your fat friend panted for breath and got wobbly in the knees. All day Wednesday we put in looking around the mines and the mills. We visited the big concentrating mill at the Hunter mine, and later the big new mill now under construction at the National mine, which is expected to start up about April first. The mills are enormous structures, built up on the sides of the mountains. The rock or ore Is dumped into blns at the top of the mill, goes through huge crushers, past sorters, through grinders, over shaking tables which separate the metals from the rock and the various metals from each other until it finally drops into bins ready for shipment to the smelters. The mines of the Coeur D'Alene* are all lead-silver propositions, some of them containing a large amount of copper. Nearly all of them have trace* of gold, but very few of them show enough gold to be worth con­ sidering. They are much more of a stable proposition, however, than gold mining, for veins of gold usual­ ly "peter out" after a brief time, whereas no one has ever yet gone deep enough to find the bottom of the ore in this district At a cer­ tain, depth it may be unprofitable to mine it and bring it to the surface, but the vein of ore is never lost, and only recently under modern methods some of the abandoned veins have b»«n re-opened and are being profit­ ably worked. Many men have re­ alized immense fortunes in this sec­ tion. and many more are “on their way." It is a great game, in which, the wise ones, the ones who study the conditions and know their business, win out. while those who fail are but little if any worse off than before. Wallace, which is the county seat is a vigorous town of about five or six thousand population. It was nearly wiped out by forest fires In 1910. but that didn’t atop it any. Nearly everybody in Wallace and Mullan owns mining stock. Even the laboring men invest their little savings in whatever stock looks good to them. Some spectacular win­ nings have been made by just this class of. men, where an original in­ vestment of a few hundred dollars has made its owner rich. Every lit­ tle while something of this sort hap­ pens, and it keeps the excitement up to fever heat all of the time. We returned from the mining dis­ trict by train to Harrison, a town perched on a big pile of rock at the head of Coeur D'Alene lake, thence by boat the length of the beautiful lake, 25 miles, to Coeur D'Alene city, thence by Interurban to Spokane, through the prosperous Spokane val­ ley, made fertile by irrigation. The Spokane river is a beautiful stream, which furnishes wonderful water power for the mills and electric pow­ er and lighting plants, and which Joins the Columbia a hundred miles below. Well, have to atop. On account of, space and time limit, although there's' a lot more I would like to say to you if I bad you aero. Ender the clrcumstances, I will have to leave it to your imagination. We leave here tomorrow for Seat­ tle, Victoria and Vancouver, then to Blaine, Washington, for a brief so­ journ. then we head east for Nash­ ville, Michigan, and old friend*. And mighty glad 1 will be to see you; too. FIKE. We have added a new line of hosiery which we would like to introduce to you.

Doubtless readers of the daily pa­ pers recall the mysterious death of Jack Varney, which occurred three years ago. Although the mystery of his death has never been solved and never can be. I, the only person who knows the subsequent events which led up to his death, have decided to disclose by knowledge to the public. I came to know Jack Varney through an advertisement which he had inserted In the Herald. He want­ ed a cheerful, congenial companion. So I. being at that time out of em­ ployment, answered the advertise­ ment I found him a big. clean type of young American manhood; but I didn’t like the expression of hl« face. His eyes were continually shifting and peering around beside and behind him as if in fsar, and there were dark cir­ cles under the lower lids that told of sleepless nights. However, there was something in the man that awoke my curiosity and Interest, so I decided to accept the position of companion, if I suited. After a little conversation he said he was certain that 1 would be per­ fectly satisfactory, but before he en­ gaged me he wanted to tell me some­ thing of himself and the reason why he had advertised for a companion. It seemed that he was a medical student, and somewhat of a collector of curios of different kinds. In his capacity of collector he' had obtained after mucb trouble, a piece of human skin, from which he had had a purse made. The skin had been taken from the left hip of one of their most Inter­ esting subjects, an old Hindoo. From the time that the purse had been made Jack Varney’s life had been haunted. He lived in constant dread of some unknown evil. He had the sen saton of being followed by nn unseen being. His sleep was uneasy, broken by horrible dreams. His very sou! seemed to be possessed by some evil spirit I thought he might be mentally de­ ranged, but I humored his delusions and assured him that I was not afraid to accompany him anywhere to be with him at all times. So I was en­ gaged. We were at dinner at a down-town cafe, when the attack came upon him. “Look!" he.gasped, hoarsely. “Can you see anyone behind my cbalrt That same feeling comes back to me —the sensation of some one close to me!

THE REXALL STORE Inge Treasurer. The village election, held Monday, was characterized by general apathy. It was all kinds of a day for the occa­ sion, contrary to proverbial expecta­ tions. yet the lightest vote In the past four years was polled, but 312 of our citizens showing up to exercise their right of suffrage. No doubt one reason for the light vote and the ap­ parent lack of interest was the ex­ cellence of both tickets, many voters feeling that where all the candidates were so capable the affairs of the village would be acceptably manag­ ed no matter who won. The ab­ sence of the customary street corner discussions and gum shoe work was very marked. . Split tickets were; much in evi­ dence, more so in fact than at any election held for a number of years. The republicans polled 176 votes, 64 straight and 112 split. The citi­ zens numbered 107, with 36 straight and 71 split, and 27 votes were cast under no party heading. But two out of the entire number were throwp out on account of irregularities. The republican ticket was elected with but one-exception, C. H. Brown, the citizens nominee for treasurer, winning out against Clark Titmarsh by a majority of 63 votes. The number of votes received by each candidate, together with the majorities of the successful ones are given herewith: For President. Ray C. Townsend, r. . . 191— John B. Marshall, c. . . 117 For Clerk. J. Robt. Smith, r.......... 196— 89 Colin T. Munro, c.......... 107 For Treasurer. Clark Titmarsh, r . . . . 132 Charles H. Brown, e.. . 185— 63 For Assessor.

The village council meets tonight to confirm the election. , Next on the program—marshal and street commissioner. Now that election is over, let’s all turn In and see what we can do for Nashville the coming year. . There, were but two votes thrown out. One elector has disfigured his ballot by writing his name across the top. and another had voted both tickets. Nothing small about either of them. From the election returns it is evident that at least a few of the national progressives have returned to the fold. The village council for the coming year will be composed of H. C. Zuschnltt, C. H. Tuttle. S. A. Gott. E. V. Barker. John H. Martens and Fred K. Bullis, alderman; Ray C. Town­ send, president, and J. Robt. Smith, clerk. The management of village affairs is in capable hands. Get ready for township election. The date is near at hand. April 6. NORTH KALAMO GRANGE. Song by Grange.

RESCUERS WORK ALL NIGHT Seven-Story Building Occupied by the Missouri Athletic Club Destroyed— Dozen Men Slide Down Rope- to Safety. » SL Louis, March 10.—Eight men are known to be dead, 27 are missing and probably perished, and about 29 were injured’ In a fire that destroyed the seven-story building occupied by the Missouri Athletic club. The property­ loss is estimated at more than 1350,­ 000. Bank Owned the Building. The building was owned by the Boatmen’s bank, which occupied part of the first floor. The bank opened temporary quarters In a building four blocks away. In the vaults of the burned building, officials aid. arc |1«349.000 in currency and >27.000 in coin. This money, it is believed, is Intact Uncertainty ns to the number ot men in the bUBding when the fire broke out made It difficult to ascer­ tain the number of missing. Jack Reisinger, night clerk, said that 45 members had rooms at the club and that the registration of guests, brought the total number there for the night to seventy-five. Some of the regular guests, however, may not have been In their rooms. The directors of the Missouri Ath­ letic club appointed a committee of four to obtain a complete list of the missing and of those who escaped Explosion Probable Cause. The cause of the fire Is unknown Assistant Fire Chief Tucker said he found the floor about the desk of the clerk caved In. but an adjoining part .of the floor seemed to have been blown upward. Indicating that the fire was caused by an explosion. A fire­ man who climbed a fire escape of the building six hours after the flames were discovered found the fire still burning on the fifth and seventh floors and the whole interior caved in. The Are was discovered by a wom­ an. who was waiting with her escort for a taxicab. The name of the wom­ an is not known. Looking out of the window of the clubhouse, she saw the reflection of the flames in a plate gloss window across the street. Rush­ ing to the clerk of the club, she cried: ■’Fire!” The clerk. Jack Reisinger, and the night telephone operator. Nor­ man Roe. began awakening the guests. Many Jump From Windows. When the firemen arrived on the scene the flames were shooting out of the roof and all the windows above the second floor. Men were jumping from windows and others were de­ scending ropes made of bed clothes tied together. More than a dozen jumped several stories to the roofs of sdjoining buildings and escaped with broken legs or less serious In­ juries. Heroism bordering on the superhuman was exhibited both by firemen and guests at the club. The Are fighters time and again dodged one falling wall, only to find them­ selves , under another tottering mass of granite and brick. Mrs. Robert McGill, wife of the manager of the club, was a heroine of the fire. The telephone operator, a young boy, remained at bls post on the ground floor even after the firemen be­ gan pouring water into the building. Many of the guests credited their es­ cape to him. Thrilling stories of the fire were told at the city hospital by persons who were injured. About 12 men escaped from the fifth floor by descending a rope made out of two sheets tied together. The story of the escape was told by Lewis Gaylord, an advertising man of New York. Gaylord was in a room on the west side of the fifth floor. Blind Man Pleads for Life. In the corridor he heard some one cry: "I’m blind. Don’t leave me here to die." Gaylord made out. In the smoke, the figure of a man groping along the wall. The man did not give his name. Gaylord led him to a room occupied by Henry Baker. He be­ lieved the man was blinded only tem­ porarily by the smoke. In Baker’s room Gaylord and the unidentified blind man were joined by nine others. A young man took command of the situation, and tying two sheets to­ gether, fastened one end of the Impro­ vised rope to a radiator. The other end hung over the roof of the seed store below. The 12 men then de scended the rope, hand over hand, and ail were rescued from the roof of the store. Bee Twenty Jump From Windows. As the 12 or 13 men stood on the roof of the seed store they saw about 20 persons at the windows of the sixth and seventh floors of the athletic club. One of them jumped to the seed store roof and broke his leg. The entire city fire department aided by 50 policemen and volunteer squads, worked frantically all night to force a way tato the ruins of the Missouri Athletic club building, from which eight Identified bodies already have been taken. In the slight hope that some of the missing may be res­ cued. Four powerful searchlights were trained upon the ruins. After the streams of water were turned off the ruins on the Fourth street side firemen with axes and picks made their way to the floor to hew an open- Liabilities.

In the estimation of Eunice Mar­ tin at least, although the money ab­ sorbed father knew nothing of that The two ?nen were seated in the pri­ vate office of the banker. This had an anteroom and both apartments con­ nected with the residence of John Mar­ tin. In the anteroom was a lurking figure. It's owner had approached the glass door connecting the rooms. He listened first, then he peered cau­ tiously where a sifiall piece of the clouded glass was out of place. This man was Burton Beale, a b elor cousin of the banker, who had been the guest of his relative for nearly a month. "You understand. Terhune,” the banker was speaking within the ▼ate office. "Perfectly, Mr. Martin," replied the young office man in his usual attentive and pleasant way. **I have never trustectany employes as I am trusting you.

Instantly bls employer drew the tell-tale slip from hie hand. “No, no,” he spoke, tearing the bit of paper to pieces, "Never trust such business as that to a record that may accidentally fall under strange eyes. Memorize it” "To aid me, I will make a temporary notation, then,” said Terhune, and he drew up his coat sleeve and marked the numbers on the white surface of his shirt cuff. The modest but pretty cuff button holding it together met his glance as he did this, and his eye brightened. Those buttons were a birthday gift from Eunice, a week ago. A memory of ber charming face coupled with tho "Do you want my son to lenro whs! you are?" he said. “Why not? I’m ready to tell biu» myself."

"Shall I go back with you or wait for you?" inquired Beale, courteously, "Thanks, but I shall have to hurry to get to my appointment," explained "Ralph. His face was grave and anxious al the time later while he sat convers­ ing with Eunice or listening to ber piano playing at the Martin home. Aa: be arose to leave she looked appeal­ ingly into his face. . "Ralph.** she said, "what is troubling you this evening? Something, I know. Won’t you tell me what It la?” He could not resist the wistful ap­ peal. He told Eunice of the lose ot his cuffs. She realized how sincerely he deplored the doss of her first gift to him. "I have offered a liberal reward at the 'billiard hall for their recovery,** said Ralph. “I cannot forgive my for­ getfulness in leaving them. Some one has appropriated them." "Never mind, Ralph," Eunice said, sweetly. "They were of little intrinsic value, and I will give you another pair." Ralph did not leave the trustful girt in an altogether easy frame of mind. He did not tell her of the safe combi­ nation which he had scribbled on one of the cuffs. For the life of him he could not recall those numerals. This put him in a state of anxiety, and to some decided inconvenience. Fortunately no business came in that required reference to the contents of the safe, but large amounts were paid and important documents received, and these Ralph locked up *.n a strong tin box and slept with it under bls pillow each night. Mr. Martin returned at the end of ten days. He looked surprised when Ralph made his report. He opened the safe. Then he turned upon his bookkeeper with a dark, suspicious "I left a package containing twelve hundred in cash in this safe when 1 went away, and it is gone," he said, sat down grimly, wrote out a check for a month's salary and added: "Ter­ Ralph was given no opportunity to explain. Mr. Martin scouted his story about losing the combination and not opening the safe as ridiculous. Ralph was not even allowed to see Eunice. Disgraced, branded as a thief, he was sent away from that cherished para­ dise of business and love. Two days later Beale borrowed a thousand dollars on a note from a banker. Two days still later Martin learned that the note was a forgery. He began an investigation. At its termination be was satisfied that his fugitive relative was a conscienceless swindler. i Obdurate and self-willed, he refused to consider that Ralph might be guiltless. Just after the flight of Beale, however, Eunice came to him with flaming eyes. ■end for Mr. Terhune at once and make some atonement for misjudging him so cruelly." "What do you mean—” began her father. “This: I can prove who opened that safe," and Eunice placed before him— a pair of cuffs and a card covered with figures. "The maid found these in the waste basket in cleaning the room that Mr. Beale occupied." said Eunice. "Tho cuffs he stole from Ralph, the card, shows how he distributed that missing twelve hundred dollars.” Within the hour Ralph Terhune waa restored to his old position—and a newone—as prospective son.in-law of John.

This farm is located 11-2 miles south of Nash­ ville on sections 11 and 12, Maple Grove township, and is known as one of the best stock farms in Barry or Eaton counties. There is a large, 9 room house, a new bank bam that cost $2750 to complete, a large granary, stock shed, in fact everything in the building line; also a fine water supply system in buildings and yards; best of Page wire fences, several hundred dollars worth of tiling, and the land has been kept in the best of cultivation. Everything is ready to go ahead and make money. The Ad­ ministrator wishes to sell this farm before time to begin spring work. There are many interested in this farm and it is being advertised with the Real Estate Exchange to further the interests of all concerned. 0. A.

Everyone of the Methodist community and all others who go to no ocher church are invited. Beginning Monday night, we are planning to give the people of Nash­ ville an Opportunity, which it Is safe to say they do not have every year, an opportunity to hear some of the leading Methodist ministers of West­ ern Michigan. We can name three of these ministers at this writing. Wednesday evening—Rev Mr. Mills D. D., pastor of the large Methodist church at Albion. He Is a scholar­ ly minister of great influence in his city and In the religious life of the state. On Thursday night—Rev. Russell Brer.dy, pastor of the Hast­ ings Methodist Episcopal church. To the people of this vicinity, Mr. Bready needs no introduction. He is a brilliant speaker, a very popular pastor wherever he works. Friday ■evening—Rev. Dr. LeGear, the most effldent pastor and scholarly preach­ er of the Central Methodist church of Lansing. Dr. LeGear is in his sixth year, and this is proving one of his best years as pastor of that large in­ fluential congregation. Every one of these men will come with a mes­ sage for all. All Methodists of course will be there, and we hope all others will be present at every ser­ vice. Monday and Tuesday even­ ings have not been supplied as yet.

Look for the other signs:-­ . lame back, sharp pains when stooping or k lifting, dizzy spells, nervousness or despondfj ency, with irregular, painful or distressing action of the kidneys; if these signs exist, decide that the kidneys need attention, ere the trouble Lturns to gravel, dropsy or l Bright’s disease. Read this home testimony and then give Doan’s Kidney Pills a trial. | | MAIN STREET S. MAIN STREET GREGG STREET •C. H. Reynolds, retired farmer, Main St,, Nashville, says: “Some six years ago I had backache, caused by heavy lifting. The kid­ ney secretions were irregular in passage and I felt tired on getting up in the morning. After bending over, it was hard to straighten up again. I procured (our boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills at Von W. Furniss’ Drug Store, used them as directed and was completely reliev­ ed.

When I stoop­ ed over, I had trouble in straight­ ening up again. The kidneys were out of order and the kidney secre­ tions were irregular in passage. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pilis advertis­ ed and got a supply. They soon gave me complete relief from the pain and my kidneys became nor­ mal.

A LASTING CURE When Mrs. Atchison was interviewed on February 26, 1913, she said: I think Doan’s Kidney Pills are a Hoe remedy and gladly confirm tbe testimonial I gave a few years ago recommending them I haven't had any kidney trouble since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me.’’ NASHVILLE CASES SELF-TOLD 3E ] PHILLIPS STREET E.

The kidneys get congest­ ed and inflammed, and this causes backache and disordered kidney action.

He cared Uttle for the fret .that recently sbe bad devoted herself to derloua de­ vices for making money, to ingenious schemes for legal plunder. So. in the face of this catastrophe, where a less love must have been de stroyed utterly, Dick remained loyal His passionate regard did not falter for a moment. It never even occurred to him that be might cast ber off. might yield tu bla father's prayers, and abandon ber Tbe father suffered with the son. H< was a proud man.

Now. this hideous disaster threatened hla pride at every turn­ worse. It threatened the one person in the world wbum be really loved. He realized that bls son loved the woman—nor could be wonder much al that. Ills 'keen eyes had perceived Mary Turner's graces of form, her loveliness of face. He had appre­ hended. too.

He was anxlom* for tbe coming of Dick, to whom he would make one more appeal, if thm should fail—well, be must use tbe In fluences at his command to secure the forcible parting of the adventures* from tils sou. Finally tbe son entered the roon and went at once to bls father, who was standing waiting, facing tbe door “I'm awfully wrry I'm bo late, dad.’ be said simply “Where have you been?" the father demanded gravely. But there was great affection In the flash of his gray eyes a» be scanned the young man'* face, and tbe touch of tbe hand that he put on Dick's shoulder was very tender "With that woman again I" “No. father, not with her. Sbe won’t see me ” “Naturally! She's got al) sbe want ed from you -my name.*" “It’s mine. too. you know, sir.” “I eww something to her, too, dad."

Hl* glance met the wondering gaze of Uh son. “It’s Burke," be explained. "What on earth can be want—at till* time of night?" Dick exclaimed. "You may as well get used to visitfrom tbe police." A moment later inspector Burke eii tered the room. . “She's skipped!" he said triumph antly. Dick made a step forward. His eye* flashed, aud there was anger in bls voice as be replied: “I don't believe it" “Sbe left this morning for Chicago Burke said, lying with a manner that long habit rendered altogether cun vinclng. “1 told you she’d go."

The cry cam< with deepest earnestness from the lipof Glider, but there was little hope in his voire. “1 guess we can find a way to bun the marriage annulled or wbatevri they do to marriages that don't take, said Burke The brutal assurance of the man In thus referring to things that wensacred moved Dick to wrath. “Don’t you Interfere," be said. Nevertheless Burke held to the topi«“Interfere! Huh!” be ejscuiati-d grinning broadly. “Why, that’s whn I'm paid to do. Listen to me. son. Th<minute yon begin mixing up with crooks you ain't to a position to give orders to any one. The crooks have got no rights In tbe eyas of tbe police Just remember that." But Dick was not listening. HI* thoughts were again wholly with tbe woman he loved, who. as the inspector declared. bad tied from him. "Where's sbe gone tn Chicago?" Burke answered in his usual gruff fashion, but with a note of klndllm*** that was Dot without its effect on Dick. "I'm no mind render." be said. “Bin she'll probably stop at the Blackstone—that is. until tbe Chicago police an tipped off that sbe is in town." Tbe face of the young man took mi a totally different expression. He went close to tbe Inspector and spoke with Intense seriousness. "Burke," he said pleadingly, “give me a chance. I’ll leave for Chicago in morning. Give me twenty-four hours start before you begin hounrtln.her." The Inspector smiled acquiescent“Seems reasonable." be admitted “Na no. Dick!” the father cried "You shall not go! You shall not go!' The Inspector shot a word of warn Ing to Glider In an aside that Di<-k could not bear. "Keep still.*’ he replied. “It's all right.” “You give me your word, inspector.’ Dick said, "that you won't notify tInpolice In Chicago until I’ve been then* twenty-four hours?" “You’re on.” Burke replied gents lb "They won’t get a whisper out of tne until the time Is up." “Then !’U go." Dick smiled rather wanly at his father. “You know, dad I’m sorry, but I’ve got to do what I think Is tbe right thing." It was not until the door was closed after Dl« k that Burke spoke. "He’ll go to Chicago In the mornluu. you think, don't you?” be ssked. “Certainly.” Gilder answered. “But I don’t like It” "Best thing that could have hap­ pened! Yon see. he won’t flinl her there." “Where did sbe go then?" Gilder queried, wholly at a loss. "Nowhere yet But just about the time he’- starting for the west I’ll have her down nt headquarters.

She’s too clever for that. Why. If sin* knew what Garaun was planning t«« do. she’d stop him.’’. Tbe inspector panaed suddenly For a long minute hb» face was seamed with thought Then he smote itla thigh with a blow strong enough to kill an ox. His face was radiant "I've got her!" he cried He went to tbe desk where tbe telephone wga and took up tbe receiver. “Give me 3100 Spring.” be said As be waited for the connection be smiled widely oo tbe astonished Gilder. “Headqua tiers r; be called.

Glider pressed the electric button on bis desk At tbe same momeni. through the octagonal window, came a blinding flash of light that /esn*d for seconds, then vanished.

U. OF M. NEWS LETTER. Scholarships at the University. Thirty-five fellowships, totalling many thousands of dollars, are of­ fered annually to students maintain­ ing their residence at the university. Fifteen of these fellowships are giv­ en to Michigan students, and during the past year sixty-five applications for them have been received by Dean Karl Guthe. Ten of these are given by the Board of Regents to the amount of |300, and admit the stu­ dent to work In the graduate school on the one condition that they be willing to give four hours a week to the university as Instructors. Practically the same terms govern the five other university fellowships which carry 3500 each. Principal among the other fellow­ ships are the two given by the Mich­ igan Gas Association to engineers who wish to specialize in gas en­ gineering. One of the fellowships is worth 8500 per annum, and the other, 8300. A fellowship in tan­ ning has been endowed by Carl E. Schmidt and is worth 3600 per year. Other fellowships are the Angeiine Bradford Whittier Fellowship in botany, and, two Buhl Fellowships and the George S. Morris Fellowship in philosophy, besides many others. There are also five university fel­ lowships, given for residence in the Graduate school, which are awarded each year to students in ten of the Michigan state colleges. The hold­ ers ot these fellowships are selected by tne faculties of the various col­ leges. More than 2,400 different patients have been treated at the Student In­ firmary since Its establishment last year. Last week 662 office calls were registered, the largest number of cases treated thus far in any single week On Monday, March 2, 121 patients were treated. It is quite evident that the compulsory medical fee encourages students to take full advantage of the health service. Professor M. Gomberg, head of the organic chemistry department, read a paper on "The Existence of Free Radicals” before the Chemists' club of New York City last week. He was honored with the Nichols medal in recognition of his scholarly re­ search work in chemistry. Mr. Alfred Gelssler, the German Consul General, will be the princi­ pal speaker at the Bismark celebra­ tion to be held under the auspices of the Deutscher Vereln in Hill Audi­ torium on April'1. He will speak on “The Cultural Relationships be­ tween Germany and America." Ger­ man societies throughout Michigan and neighboring states will be rep­ resented at the celebration. Musical Clubs to Travel. Thirty-five members of the Uni­ versity of Michigan Glee and Mando­ lin clubs will cover over 6,000 miles on the annual spring trip. Los An­ geles will be the objective point of the .tour, the longest ever taken by a Michigan student organisation. The expense of trip has been covered by guarantees from cities on the Itin­ erary and by funds received from home concerts. Among the cities In which concerts will be given are the following: Grand Rapids, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, Laramie, Salt Lake City, Reno, Berkeley, Los An­ geles, Omaha, Rockford, Chicago. The clubs will be absent during the spring recess. Cause of Worry Defined. Worry medical science now defines as tbe dominance of one Idea.'uBually that of fear. There is a fear of some existing condition or dread of what may happen. Tbe idea crowds all oth­ ers from the mind, or permits them only the feeblest and occasional ac­ tivity.

Baseball is a sport that is enjoyed by nearly everyone, yet we all wonder why our high school team never draws a good crowd. We know we have not had a winning team for the last few years, but what Is the rea­ son? It is because you paronts will not let your boy play and without the material we can not produce a good nine. After studying all day a boy should have some freedom and fresh air In­ stead of being made to go right home and work. Baseball also helps a student to keep his studies up to a higher average, as, if he was not do­ ing passing work he could not play. This year we find the parents a lit­ tle more willing to let their "darling” boy take part, as we have about twenty boys that are going out for the team. If they all stick, as we hope they will, we are going to have the best and fastest team that has been picked up from our high school in yearn. But, to do this, we must have the support and help of the people at large.

Many people take it for granted that when a person dlea. the editor is familiar with every detail of the life of the deceased and his activities, when as a fact he knows absolutely nothing about him, but he baa to get his in­ formation from other sources, same as other persons would have to do. It is. the same with regard to mar­ riages or other more or less import­ ant happenings in the community. In almost every case the editor has to dig up the particulars or to satis­ fy himself and the readers of his pa­ per with a meager and inaccurate ac­ count. Tbe avenge editor of a coun­ try paper has something like a mil­ lion and a half of things to do and think about in a week and the pa­ trons can hardly overestimate how much be appreciates any effort they make In furnishing him the facts for news items. - McLAUGHLIN mik the best work shoe for the leant money.

A Car That Will Perform; but also a car that looks the part; a car for the man who considers his automobile an everyday necessity and who counts the cost A car that is economical in cost of upkeep­ gasoline, oil and tire consumption. You Have Often Said that you would be willing to pay a little more for a car that looked a lot better. ' This is the Car. It has been designed from your standpoint—for thou­ sands of others have expressed the same desire you expressed. Knowing the Need—the demand, we have designed to meet it. And it’s Made Just as Well as it’s designed. Every ounce of metal that goes into it has been specified by our chief metallurgist, after the most exhaustive analysis and tests to determine the kind of metal— and alloy and heat treatment that would best meet the requirements. Better Material does not enter into the construction of any car on earth at any price; for here is the best the science of metallurgy and automobile construction knows.

The American school system, be­ cause it is a public institution, is peculiarly open to frequent indict­ ment. In this frequency of censure there is the danger that we shall put our school systsem on the'defensive. This ought not to be. The public school system-is the very bulwark of our social and political institu­ tions. It needs, and has a right to the full support of every home in the land. . Of Interest-to Women. Odd embroideries, of coarse work­ manship and crude colorings, are used to trim many of the new cos­ tumes.

Some Cow, Verily. Eli Meadows, who has gone to Booneville for a while, writes us of. a peculiar experience he had recently. Eli said he had bought him a cow since going to Booneville and that the other night went out to his cow stall to feed her and by mistake mixed up a nice mash in a box full of sawdust instead of bran. The cow merely supposing that hard times had come, and that they were all going to economize, meekly ate her supper and Eli never discovered his mis­ take until the next morning, when be milked the cow and she let down a gallon of turpentine, a quart of shoe pegs and a bundle of laths.—Ex. Speak Plainly. “There was a little lawyer man Who gently smiled as he began Her dead husband's will to scan. And thinking of the coming fee.

Verily in this day and generation the father raisetb up. his son on the stretts and sidewalks. He layeth around the soda founts and imbibeth slop and hookworm. He groweth in knowledge of nothing save cigarettes and cuss words. When he attains the age of six­ teen be acquiretb a suit of clothes turned up at the bottom two fur­ longs above his feet. He display­ ed a pair of noisy socks with pur­ ple back-ground and violets to the front . He weareth low-cut, tan shoes, also a green tie. He-looketh like a banana merchant on the streets of Cairo. . -The inside of his head resembleth the inside of a, pumpkin. He falleth in love with a spindle shanked girl with pink ribbons in her hair, and craveth for an automobile that he may ride her forth in the spring time. He scattered his pin money like a ■cyclone scattered a rail fence. He sitteth up at night to write poetry and giveth no dought to the multi­ plication table. His mind turned to the vanities of life, and not to the high cost of cornbread. Verily, verily, he needeth a board applied vigorously to the south-west comer of the anatomy. He thinketh his father a plodder and bis mother a back number. He pictured to himself great ricbes suddenly acquired. He dreamed of steam yachts and private cars. Yee. be thinketh himself de real stuff. He butted in where be is not wanted: he criticised bis elders: he purchased cheap perfume and smelled louder dan a billy goat. When he groweth up he getteth a job as clerk in a store at fl a day and swiped extra change from bis boss till he is caught. JOimiKWEWAR — ---- ~ --- *- JULIUS F. BEMENT JEWELER AND OPTOMETRIST NASHVILLE, MICH H. L. Walrwth Bolldlng I ITacticabillty /f Our High School Course. Even- day we hear people saying our high school course is not practi­ cal. They argue that mathematics, science and especially the languages are in no way a help to fight the bat­ tles of life. For instance, in the study of Latin, are we not more able to use better English derivatives when the "dead language'* has been well mastered? Can we not use our possibly limited vocabulary to a greater extent if we know the exact meaning of the words put Into use? We find this true also in the study of algebra or geometry. The argu­ ment may arise that in buying or selling we do not use the term "x" to find the approximate value nor do we use geometrical figures to cut out garments or build a house. But on the other hand, it stands to reason that the more we know of a subject the more we are able to put it in practice. If we are well acquainted with these laws could we not make greater success of the work at hand? Again the argument may arise, “what real practical good may be found in science?” Science, as everyone knows, treats of physical bodies and’ the different changes that are caused. For in­ stance, certain atmospheric gases make the air poisonous while others are beneficial. At once the question arises, "what natural forces cause the changes?” Immediately tests are made to find the reasons. No natural changes take place but the question comes up, "why did this happen, and what are the results?" Again we see the use of diligent study before the desired end Is ac­ complished. e • You may say these alone will not benefit anyone materially, but. on the other hand, we see that they will help along other lines. Our manual training and sewing are based large­ ly upon something that we have al­ ready learned, and I think no one can deny these are practicable. These branches of study are in oth­ er words the rungs of a ladder lead­ ing up to something higher, where financial, intellectual and moral help may be obtained. The We need more producers and not so many tradncers. When a young lawyer goes court­ ing bis best girl it is a lucky thing tor him that dere is no one to inter­ pose “incompetent, irrevelant and immaterial.” Half the people you envy are un­ satisfied with their positions in life. You will never lose a job if you are on it all de time. Try to so live and do dat when folks talk about you they will have a good subject to talk about. Among de women who bare been most fortunate In lovfc affairs may be mentioned some who bare no pros­ pects of being married. ’ STOMACH HEALTH OR NO COST TO YOU. Very likely others have advised you to use Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, because scores of people in this com­ munity believe them to be the best remedy ever made for Dyspepsia and Indigestion. That Is what we think, too, because we know what they are made of. We have so much faith in them that we urge you to try them at our risk. If they don’t help you, they won’t cost you a cent. If they don't do all that you want them to do—if they don’t restore your stomach to health and make your digestion easy—just tell us and we will give back your money without a wuiu VI word or question. question. Containing Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the greatest digestive aids j known to. medical science, they soothe the Inflamed stomach lining, help in the secretion of gastric juice, check heartburn and distress, pro­ mote regular bowel action, and make it possible for you to eat whatever you like whenever you like, with the comforting assurance that there will be no bad aftereffects.

Real Estate Exchange HOME INSURANCE The Citizens Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Kalamazoo, Michigan Chartered to Insure in Kalamazoo, Van Buren and Barry Counties. has long ago passed the experimental stage and demonstrated in its thirty-nine years experience that Mutual HOME insurance is “the thing.” Its losses on over one and a half million dollars carried, have been less than 9-10 of one mill on the dollar, and this too when one-half million was on country and village property without Bre protection where fully 80 per cent of their losses occurred, and feeling that it was nnfair to ask the City man, supporting a fire department, to help pay theee outside losses, the company cancelled off all this outside insur­ ance, and now have no risk not in‘reach of a hydrant, which means safety, and since then there have been no heavy losses. Last year the company had but 21 fires with a loss of $248 on 12,100,000 carried. Stock Companies will not and cannot meet the Mutual's rates, for it insures at COST while the Stock Company must have profit to pay enormous salaries, taxes, commissions and build sky­ scrapers with profits you help pay. One example will illustrate. The Hon. .Judge Severens—his policy is used because he has been a member of the company for 88 years, and has Paid in the last twelve years on $3,500.00 just............. $49.00 The same in any Stock Company would have cost...........$91.00 A saving quite worth while, don't you think? of.................$42.00 And this too with nine years of unprotected outside risks of half a mil­ lion. The Company cannot insure your Store, Factory or stock of goods but can insure your Home and contents, which is the preferred risk of this City and where the Stock Companies get their “Velvet Profits" to help pay the “Down Town” losses. The company had no asessment last year and expect none till late this year and your first premium will carry you to the second assessment which should be about three years ahead and $2.00 Mutual premium would equal $0.50 Stock Premium. JAMES EHRET, whose office is in the Ehret Building, opposite the Poetoffice, has been appointed local agent for the Com­ pany for this City and will give you all needed information, receive your application, forward same to the Home office in Kalamazoo, and your policy will be issued at once..

COUNTRY LETTERS ■■■II. __ re 1 Ll 1 HIS simple rule of health is daily called attention to by every doctor in the land, whose first question to the patient almost invariably is, “Arc your bowels regular?”41 Yet there’s not one person in fifty who takes proper care of the bowels. And the result of this foolish neglect is nine-tenths of all ill-health. . If today you are unable to free your body of waste matter at the usual time, or if the act causes straining, pains and discomfort, don't let that condition occur again tomorrow. Unless your bowels can earn' away tlie waste materials left after food is digested, decay sets in, the poisons of which, taken up by the blood, increase the risk of Typhoid Fever, Appendicitis, and many other serious diseases. e In treating constipation, there is a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way is to take harsh purga­ tives which even though they do clear the bowels, cause griping and nausea, injure the delicate tissues, and so disturb the normal functions as to cause the return of constipation. The right way is to help Nature to produce natural movement, without pain or discomfort, by using I .4 More r This Is Our GuaranteeYou Risk No Money —a gentle laxative in the form of a cKocoIate-tastang tablet.

"MaryT Griggs i-ried. “Yes. she’s un." Garson Interpreted a moment later as the tapping ceased for a little. He translated in a loud whis­ per as the irregular ticking noise sounded again. “I shall be there almost at once. 1 am sending this message from the drug store around the corner. Have some one open the door for me imme­ diately," “She's coming over!" Griggs cried tn credulously. "No. I’ll stop her." Garson declared firmly. . . But when after tupping a few words the forger paused for the reply oo sound came. "She don't answer!" be exclaimed. • “On her way already." Griggs sug­ gested. "I'll let tier to." He drew a small torch from the skirt pocket ot his coat and crossed to the bain door as Garson nodded assent "God: Why did she have to come?' Garson muttered, tilled with forebod Ings. "If anything should go wrong now!" He turned back toward the door just as it opened, and Mary darted into the room, with Griggs following closely nt her heels. "What do you want here?" he de manded. with peremptory oavagenesin his voice, which was a tone be had never hitherto used io addressing her. There was only tender pleading. In Mary’s voice, though her words were an arraignment. “Joe. you lied to me!" • “That can lie settled later!" the man snapped. His Jaw was thrust forward obstinately, and bls clear eyes spar kled defiantly. “You are fools, all of you!” Mary cried. "Yes. fools! This is burglary ' I can't protect you if you are caught. How can I ? Ob. come!" She held out her bands pleadingly toward Garson, and her voice dropped to beseeching “Joe, Joe. you must get away from this bouse at once, all of you! Joe. make them go!" .'

Brownsville, Tex., March 24.—A bat­ tle between constitutionalists and fed­ erals was reported in progress at Mier, Mex., opposite the Texas border, about ohe hundred miles northwest of La­ redo. This report came from consrtl- London, March 24.—"Misunderstand­ ing” was the keynote of Premier As­ quith's explanation of the crisis brought about by the - resignations of army officers when their regiments were ordered to prepare to proceed to Ulster. Speaking in-the bouse of commons, the prime minister made It clear, how­ ever, that officers and men of the Brltisb army refusing to obey orders in connection with the opposition of Ul­ ster to the introduction of home rule for Ireland were liable to dismissal. Details of the revolt of the army offi­ cers against service in Ulster bad been awaited with strained expectation by the whole country. Only brief state­ ments were forthcoming from Secre­ tary for War Seely and the premier, and the gist of these was that the whole affair was due to "misunder­ standing'' and that all the officers had now returned to their duty. Believe Home Rule Lost The whole affair is generally ac­ cepted as demonstrating that the army cannot be counted on to fight Sir Ed ward Carson's volunteers if such a contingency should arise. Opposition politicians declare that this means the collapse of the home rule project and express their belief that the govern­ ment may soon relinquish office by its own choice. As far as the ministers' statements can be interpreted, the “misunder­ standing" arose through Gen. Sir Ar­ thur Paget placing a wrong construc­ tion on the orders given him by the war office and telling his subordinates they were to be employed in quelling an uprising In Ulster. The number of officers who resigned their commissions, the.extent of the disaffection in the army, and other de­ tails were not disclosed. , Colonel Seely was derisively jeered during his explanation.

Please. oh they might be called on to act against the Ulster covenanters, numerous offi­ cers resigned their commissions. While-the war office refused to say how many had resigned, popular be­ lief. based on reports from the differ­ ent regiments, was that the.number of withdrawals had crippled the whole military organization in Ireland and prevented carrying out the orders for moving several large bodies of troops.

Another Farm Life Convenience The farmer of today enjoys any number of luxuries and conven­ iences that were unknown but a few years ago. The telephone, free rural delivery, weather bureau service, better educational facilities, im­ proved farm machinery, have all played a prominent part in making life on the farm pleasant. But a bank account, one on which he can draw his personal checks, is a convenience almost indispensible to the modem’ farmer. By means of his bank book and check, he is able to keep an accurate check on all business transactions. 'Such a record is important to the farmer, for his business is one of buying and selling and without his bank account he. would be com­ pelled to keep a complete set of books In order to have any definite record of his business affairs. The Farmers and Merchants bank gives special attention to the caring of fanners’ accounts. We know their needs and requirements. We can serve you to your complete satisfaction.

It is surely a genuine pleasure, when you don your new spring suit,, to know that it is strictly all right in every way. That’s what makes the Royal Tailors suits so popular.

We would like to take your measure. We can have the new suit ready for you in a week. Will you look over the line? O. G. Munroe.—Advt. Yes.

You know that old saying. “Birds of a Feather Flock Together." we are following in our business the same principles that have made these clothes such wonderful values. 1914 We take a certain amount of pride in offering you Clothcraft Clothes because For 68 years quality and value have been their watchwords. For 20 years you in this vicinity have tested their value. You have never had reason to question their wearing qualities. Then why not confine your clothes wants in the future to a line that has proved itself as represented—the “Famous Clothcraft"? We have their latest productions in stock, style after style, pattern after pattern. We want you to examine these goods: compare with any so-called “As Good.” We believe we can save you money, and give you satisfaction also. Children’s Suits It would make any proud mother smile to see the new creations for the little fellows. Nobby effects in the Russian blouse style. For the older boy the newblue serges far surpass anything we have ever shown. Then what an array of fancy cassimd^es! We want you to know we have taken special pains to prepare for the little fellows’ wants. . No clothing house in this section shows more style, more value at the prices we quote. Bring the little fellow in Try them on It’s a pleasure to show them. Prices $2.00 to $7.00, Remember, money back if not as represented. Neckwear Gel in Line Did vou ever see the time since we threw open our doors in Nashville that we did not show you the latest productions in this line. We pride ourselves that we can fill your every want. The new Tangos, Cheney silks, silk knit goods, Persian effects, in fact every­ thing that the market affords is here. If your taste is conservative, we have it: if you want the kind that talks, we have it It will afford us great pleasure to have you inspect this line for your future wants. ilh H»r Men Who Wear Hats and Caps Rain Coats and Mackintoshes Our past experience has been so good in this line that we have added to our stock many new numbers, the cream of the market Every coat will give the service we expect it to. We have no hesitancy in say­ ing we carry the largest line in this section. We have not even forgotten the boys: we can fill the little fel­ lows’ wants. Better save the wear and tear on that fine suit; protect it from the mud, etc. How better than by a raincoat? Price $4.00 to $15.00. • 10c a button $1.00 a rip or a new pair free All the merchandise we carry carries as strong a guarantee. The Dutchess trousers—we have a full line ; none better; the kind that satisfies. Good, full, roomy kind, material unexcelled. You are insured against pant trouble of any kind if you buy Dutchess. We have the exclusive agency. Yes, they’re here—the new high crown hats, the velvet bands, the new straws, the new caps. How could we enumerate all their good qualities; how could we place before you the style they represent? No way until you visit our store. We want your spring hat trade. We want you to know that we are as’interested as you in having you have the latest and the most becoming hat Better select the one you want now: we’ll reserve it for you. Prices from $1.00 to $3.00. Famishing Goods WATCH Underwear Such famous brands as B. V. D.. Porosknit, Coop­ er’s, Tru-fit, Wright’s,-etc., always instock. We are prepared for your hot weather wants in this line as never before: we have all grades in two-piece and com­ bination. Prices 25c to $2.00. for Deane’s Balloons Saturday evening < .30 to 9 .00 Brizes on each balloon REMEMBER, WE ARE HCAOOUARTERS FOR OVERALLS, JACKETS AND ALL WORK GOODS. WE MAKE THE PRICES LOWER THAN ALL COMRETITION. G. C. DEANE CO. The satisfaction of trading where goodz are as represented is one advantage in your favor. The advantage of having tbe artkde replaced or money back if not as represented is another. WE DO BOTH. Even the most-fastidious dresser will admit that never has Nashville had the line of furnishings we are showing. Silk hosiery, new high collars, fancy shirts in every style, hew suspenders, night dresses, iersey sweaters. We could mention hundreds of articles in this department. Step in—make known your wants. We have it , ■ - NASHVILLE MICHIGAN WE INVITE COMPARISON. We want your trade. We want your confidence in every article we sell you. We want you to feel that every deal will be a square deal —- your money’s worth or your money back. IT MUST BE GOOD OR WE MAKE GOOD. �vtarnnc Mrs. Fem Smith, this week.

Criticism on "The Building of the Ship" by Henry W. Longfellow. "The Building of the Ship" can be plainly seen to resemble the form of Schiller's poem, “The Song of the Bell’ . In the first stanza is an ex­ ample ot personification which char­ acterized an unbuilt ship as having the power of speech: “Build me straight, O Worthy Master! Stanch and strong a goodly vessel, That shall laugh at all disaster. And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!" Longfellow compares life with a Prayer meeting Thursday at 7:30 boat, riding at sea.

The i logend was sent to Longfellow by San Jak for la grippe, colds, throat Hawthorne, to whom Longfellow and stomach trouble—best yet. Bold says he owes part of the success of "Evangeline." The poem is written In a very difficult metre, but cue that is a great deal more beautiful than the less difficult. "Evangeline" is considered as the best of Long­ fellow’s poems and deserves the dis­ tinction. It was one of the first of his great productions, being publish­ ed In 1845 "The Courtship of Miles Standish,”1 published in 1858, is the third of’ Longfellow’s greater works.

Penfold has recently pur­ chased a young Jersey bull from the famous Roycroft Farm, Sldnaw, Michigan. This bull is out of Jessie Marigold 247801, a register of merit cow that produced 7577 lbs. 3 ox. milk, testing 484 lbs. 6 ox. of butter in one year with her first calf, the test starting when the cow was one year and ten months old.

Mertz, of Glen Ellyn, la., writes : "I had a hard, stubborn cough that I had doctored for over six weeks without my getting any better. Our druggist finally recom­ mended Dr. King’s New Discovery and my husband bought a dollar bottle. After using two-thirds of it my trouble eased down, and it was not long till I was completely cured.

Men Ne-sr Really Experts- THE LAW OF MAN By FRANK FIL8ON. Sergeant Anderson, of the North­ West Mounted Police, got down from his horse and studied the ground, kicking away the snow tbat already lay nearly six Inches deep. Under it was the tough grass of the Saskatche­ wan prairies. Then this trail he had been following was not the path. He had suspected that, but on* those boundless prairies, once one lost the path, there was no means of telling one’s locality. True, be might turn his horse southward and ride until he struck - the Transcontinental line, and'so return unsuccessful ; but that was not Anderson’s way. When a Policeman goes after a man he gets him. . Anderson’s mission originated with himself. He had asked for a week’s leave of absence upon government duty, and his officer had granted It without questioning him. He knew Anderson to be a man of Integrity, and that he worked like a mole, alone, until he had achievea results. it was only by accident that Ander­ son bad heard Lockhart had a trap­ per’s camp on the Peace river. He had satisfied himself that Lockhart was Hart, who had escaped from his custody fifteen years before. Ander­ son was then a policeman in Montreal, and Hart had been placed In bis charge for conveyance to the assizes upon a charge of murder. Hart had not murdered, but his companion had —the man who had instigated him to the robbery which resulted In a death; and that was murder under Canadian law. Hart had leaped from the train, and Anderson had lost his office and had been a soured and disappointed Now he meant to arrest Lockhart and pay off old scores. Doggedly he turned his horse’s head northward and pursued his path. He knew that he must strike the Peace river within six hours, and be hoped bls rough map would then guide him to Lockhart’s camp. But the horse was weary, and the snow fell thickly. An Icy wind came up and froxe the ground Into a sheet of slippery glass. Fanners Talk Like This “I Want 100 lbs.

Even Hannah More; who did much to promote the Sunday-school movement, confined her curriculum to teaching ths children to read the Bible, the cats­ chism "and such coarse works as may fit them for servants." ”1 allow of no writing for the poor," she stated emphatically. Uncle Sam “Sizes Up" Employes. The United States navy yard per­ haps has the. most complete system for the qualification of applicants. It first Indulges in a physical examina­ tion. Then comes a mental test, with the resultant questions as to fitness In any particular trade. Sometimes Uncle Sam goes wrong, but his lapses are comparatively few. He usually sixes up his man at the outset. Light From Stars. The light we receive from stars of the first magnitude, like Vega, Is equal approximately to a forty-thousand* mtlllonth part of that of the sun. It Is calculated that the total light re­ ceived from the lesser stars Is equal to that of 3,000 stars of the first mag­ nitude, or a sixth part of that which is sent to us from the moon. Differed as to Needed Sleep. Sir Philip Sydney calls sleep "the poor man's wealth,” and be might have added, "It Is every man's health." Ths “Immortal Alfred” of England divided the day into three portions of eight hours each, assigning one for refresh­ ment and health of the body by sleep and exercise, another for business and the third for study and devotion. Bishop Taylor considered three hours' and Richard Baxter four hours' sleep sufficient for any man. / Perfection Is Positive.

Now we are glad to announce that on May 3rd Smith i» going to church, at least in Barry county. For the Go­ to-Church movement which the Chi­ cago chapter of the United Society of Christian Endeavor begun in Oc­ tober of last year, in sweeping the country, has at last ’ reached tbls county, and the ministers of the thirty or more active churches, in conference assembled, in harmony with tills movement, designated Bun­ day. May 3rd, as Go-to-Church Day for all the people of Barry county. Every man. woman and child, wheth­ er living In Hastings, Nashville, Mid­ dleville. Woodland, or in the many country communities, is expected to be In the church of his or her choice on that day. While the usual ser­ vices will be held in most of the churches, the morning service is the one about which the various pastors are most concerned, for at that time an official count will be made of every one. including children, who attend that service. .. But do not forget the Sunday school that immediately fol­ lows the morning -service, and also the evening worship at 7:30. The Sinisters are very anxious to have cir churches filled at all of their services. No special collection will be taken at any time, the regular offering only will be taken. Noth­ ing definite can be given as to the program for that day. as each minis­ ter is allowed absolute liberty in de­ termining the, character -of the ser­ vices he wl)l hold. It is needless to say. however, that each pastor will do his best to make his service as Instructive and Inspiring as pos­ sible. But no church is allowed to advertise anything special for that day, since that would introduce the element of competition which every pastor is exceedingly anxious to avoid. Our little town boasts of seven distinct places of worship—The Apos­ tolic Holiness, the Roman Catholic, the Methodist Episcopal, the Baptist, the Evangelical, the First Day Ad­ ventist, and the Christian Science society. Every one of these places ' of worship should be filled at least on this day. Shall we apt choose one of these churches and therein worship the God of this Universe, the Author of all our blessings, the Sustalner of all our lives, expressing such worship in song, sermon and fellowship?

Here we are at last with a Mexican war on our hands. After repeated insults to the United States, Huerta finally wound up by flatly refusing to salute to the flag as an apology for the arrest of U. S. seamen, and President Wilson ordered the Atlantic fleet to proceed to Mexican ports. A detachment of marines landed at Vera Cruz Tues­ day to take possession of the port, and were greeted by a volley from sharpshooters stationed on the housetops. Four of the marines were killed and twenty wounded. Immediately the marines returned the fire and It is estimated that the Mexican loss was 150 to 200. Desul­ tory flring continued during the night, and yesterday morning the fleet -under command of Admirals Badger and Fletcher commenced shelling the city at eight o'clock, giving the marines opportunity to take possession of the city under pro­ tection from the guns of the fleet. Consul Canada made the following report to the government at Wash­ ington yesterday morning, the mes­ sage being received at 11 o'clock: "Firing commenced at daybreak.

Mary's eyes were luminous in the Joy of tbe realization that for her. aftvi all. rehabilitation might be in a mensure possible, though nothing 'could ever repay the degradation of years Infinitely worse than lost. . Burke's harsh voice, cadenced to a singular sympathy, broke In on her reverie of pleasure and of pain. “You knew this?” be Inquired. “Did you tell old Glider?” he asked. Mary shook her bead In negation. “What would be the use?" she re­ minded him. “1 had no proof. No one would believe me.” “They’d believe this. Why, this let­ ter sets you clear. If old Glider should see this letter, there’s nothing he wouldn't do to make amends to you. He's a square guy himself, if it comes to that, even If be was hard on you Why. this letter wipes out everything." Then, the Insistent question beating at his brain forced him to speak roughly, building hope on the letter's inestimable worth to the woman be­ fore him. “Who killed Griggs r There was no reply. And. presently, be went on, half ashamed over bls own intrigue against her. “Say." he said. and. for once, his voice was curiously suppressed, “you tell me who shot Griggs, and I'll show this letter to old Gilder. Now, listen.' be cried eagerly. "1 give you my word of honor that anything you say tn here is Just between you and me.” Uncou sciously his eyes darted to the window, behind which the stenographer waA busy with hia notes.

Come on. now—pin "Are you sure no ona will ever know?” “Nobody but you and me," Burke declared. al! agog with anticipation of victory at last "1 give you my word" Mary met the gaze of the Inspector fully, in the same instant, she flashed on bim n smile that was dazzling, tin smile of a woman triumphant tn her mastery uf tbe situation.

"No. ma’am, not quite.” Mary tangoed aloud, while Burse sat dumfouuded. She rose swiftly, and went to the nearest window, and with a pull at tbe cord sent the shade flying upward. There was rtveilcd tbe busy stenographer, bent o’rer his pad.

"Hello, Joe!” Burke exclaimed, with a seeming air of careless friendliness, as the detective went out and Garson stood motionless Just within the dour. "Sit down a minute, won't you?" the Inspector continued affably. He did not look up from his writing as hf •poke. Garson's usually strong face wo» showing week with fear.

Finally, however, hie anxiety found expression in words. His tone was pregnant with alarm, though he strove to make it merely complaining. “Bay. what am 1 arrested for?” be protested. “I ain't done anything." Burke did not look up. and hia pen continued to hurry over the paper. “Who told you you were arrested ?’ he remarked cheerfully in his blandest voice. Garson uttered an ejaculation of dh» gust “I don't have to be told.” be retorted huffily. “I'm no college president but when a cop grabs me and brings me down here I’ve got sense enough to know I’m pinched." “Is that what (bey did to yob, Joe? I’ll have to speak to Cassidy about that Now, just you sit down. Joe. won't you? I want to have a little talk with you. I'll be through here In a second.” He went on with tbe writ­ ing. Garson moved forward slightly to the single chair near the end of the desk and there seated himself mechan. tcaliy. His face thus was turned t<> ward tbe windows that gave on the Corridor, and bls eyes grew yet more clouded ns they rested od the grim doors of the cells.

You may prefer, as a usual thing, to spend your Sundays with your family or friends. In visiting, or in other ways. You may need the rest. You may have a dozen reasons or excuses for not regularly attending church. No matter. Just forget them all next Sunday, just for one Sunday at least, let us turn out and see if we can’t fill the church edifices of Nash­ ville so full that they will have to hold overflow meetings in the park or some other place. You may criti­ cize the church. No matter. You wouldn’t want to live in a country or a community where there were no churches. We must all admit that the church is a great institution for the general welfare of the com­ monwealth. Well, then, let us all accept this special invitation for next Sunday. It won’t do us any harm, that’s sure, and it may do us a whole lot of good. "Oo»to-church Sunday, May 3. We're going.” “THE GOVERNOR’S LADY.” Those of our readers who enjoy the excellent serial stories which we give them in The News, and we be­ lieve nearly all of them do, will be in­ terested in the announcement of "The Governor’s Lady," which will begin next week. It is a heart-grip­ ping story of every-day life, having as its theme the too common occur­ rence of a man suddenly become rich, who thinks he has risen above the sphere of the woman who has fought life’s battles by his side, and wants to divorce her and replace her with a younger and more attractive woman. "The Governor’s Lady" is so true to life that it proves of most absorbing interest. Watch for the opening chapters in next week’s News. ENTERS REAL ESTATE BUSINESS A. C. Siebert and family left Tues­ day morning for their new home at Detroit, driving through in their car. The people of Nashville are genuine­ ly sorry to see them go. for they are the kind of people no town can af­ ford to lose. Mr. Siebert is going into ’!.<'• real estate business in De­ troit, the firm with which he will be connected being the Detroit Invest­ ment company, with offices at 401 Sun building. Mr. Siebert is to have a half interest in the concern, which already has an established businessHis many .Nashville friends will wish him all kinds of success, but if after giving it a thorough trial they find they do not like Detroit, they will always find a hearty welcome in old Nashville. STRANGERS IN LIMBO. Two fellows giving their names as Will White and Ralph Black were arrested on Wall lake Sunday night, while netting fish. The game war­ den took them to Hastings, where they entered a plea of guilty and paid their fines. It has been inti­ mated that the names they gave were fictitious, and that they were i eally prominent citizens of Hast­ ings, but we are loath -to believe that anything of that kind could really happen. Anyway, we understand that there is lots of merriment at the county hub about the incident, and that a homely lawyer and a hand­ some business man are getting an awful roasting. CANTATA A SUCCESS. The entertainment, which was giv­ en at the opera house Friday night by the L. A. S. of the M. E. church, was a complete success In every way and was well attended. Mrs. J. C. Furniss gave, a splendid reading and Miss Pauline Kunz sang a solo very pleasingly, both responding with encores. The cantata. "The Pink Parasol”, was very^pretty and amus­ ing. All of ’the characters were taken by children aud the abil­ ity with which they played their parts gave evidence of the excellent training they had received. The pretty costumes and colored light effects added much to the success of the entertainment. The music ’by the orchestra was exceptionally fine and received much applause. We have all the latest creations in WALL PAPER from the cheap designs to the best, suitable for any room in the house. We can undersell anyone in the county, and would be pleased to compare our new patterns and quote prices with the best you can ob­ tain from any source.

He says it is very foolish to send our young men, the dependence of the country for the future, down there to be killed by the “Greasers," and thinks the old fellows, who are not much good for anything else, ought to go down and clean out the Mexicans.

What the Scissors Found in The News of May 4, 1880. The Michigan Central has decided to run no more freight trains on Sun­ days, except such as are necessary for the handling of perishable goods. A company of about 25 little folks gathered at the home of I. N. Kellogg Monday afternoon as guests of El­ mer and Matle Kellogg, and a very jolly time they had. Ice cream and cake were served. Last Friday a large party of child­ ren assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Boise for the purpose of perpetrating a surprise upon their daughter. Miss Ava, it being her ninth birthday. A very pleas­ ant time, was enjoyed by the little folks. ' "The Rising Sun Walking Club” Is a newly-organized association of Nashville young folks. , Cloverdale creamery commenced operations for the season of 1889 last Monday morning. The force is the same as last year, which insures the finest possible product. E. L. Parrish, the veteran mall handler, who was bounced by the last administration since election, re­ ceived a dispatch Saturday informing him that he had been appointed to fill his old position as one of the head clerks on the Michigan Central between Detroit and Chicago. He left for Detroit Saturday, having had just four months’ vacation, to a day. Miss Eva Bates, who has taught in our schools for a number of years, received an offer of 6650 per year to teach at Champion, Mich., provided she could finish out this year in their school.

In order to be as nearly independ­ ent of the weather man as possible and put on a more varied and instruc­ tive exhibition the Michigan State Fair has decided to lengthen its 1914 exhibition to two weeks. The dates set are September 7-18. This will enable the fair to stage a great many more out of door at­ :tractions, say the officials, as the chances are there will be at the least 10 days of fair weather under the new arrangements. \ The added week this year will al­ so permit of a much longer and more varied speed program. Gen­ , eral Manager Dickinson is planning even a more sensational horse rac­ ing and auto speed program than last year. Muddy tracks hampered the turf champions and all but prevent­ ed any auto races. "We are convinced that with 1125,000 for premiums and purses and the big open air free attractions we are planning on this year's State Fair will eclipse any of its prede­ cessors by a good margin”, said General Manager Dickinson in dis­ cussing the outlook for 1914. "I am firmly convinced that the addi­ tional 3100 we .are offering cattle associations for shipping and main­ tenance expenses will cause not on­ ly all present Michigan cattle organi­ zations to exhibit but will encourage the organization of new ones.” BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. Next Sunday everybody in Barry county Is to go to church. Services at 10 a. m. in Nashville churches ex­ cept in the Holiness church, where preaching Is at 11 a. m. Morning congregations will be counted. Let us bring the attendance In the coun­ ty up to the highest possible num­ ber. Shall not this be the banner county in Michigan? Nashville churches should be crowded. Sunday the pastor preached his second sermon on "Excuses.” It is clear that there is no valid reason for not being a Christian. All have sinned and need Christ We may be as good as many church members, but that is not the question. Are we In right relation to God? Which way are we going? That there are many sects and different interpreta­ tions of the Bible should not keep us from Christ There are various theories in science, politics, etc., but that does not lead us to throw them aside.

If fruit growers can only be made to realize this fact and to un­ derstand that most, if not all of the Injury can be prevented by thor­ oughly spraying the trees, the value of the fruit crop coul^ be e«aily doubled. These fungi develop on the leaves and fruit in the presence of moisture, and it has been found that if before infection has taken place the trees are thoroughly sprayed with either lime-sulphur solution or Bordeaux mixture, the development of the spores will be prevented and the at­ tack'warded off. In order to be ef­ fectual, the spraying should be re­ peated often enough to keep the leaves and fruit at all times covered with the spray. In practice it is customary to spray fruit trees of all kinds when the flower-buds have opened bo they show pink or white color, as at this time it is possible to cover the flower stalk and ovary, which will later de­ velop Into fruit, aad thus protect them during the blossoming period. If the weather is cold and wet so that the opening of the buds is delayed more than two weeks, it is advisable to repeat the application. A second spraying should be made as soon as the fruit has set in order to cover the newly developed leaves and the fruit. Care should be taken at this time to use an abundance of the spray bo as to fill the calyx-cup at the blossom end of the apple and thus poison the apple worms when they attempt to enter the fruit. Two or three weeks later, another applica­ tion is necessary; especially for ap­ ples and pears which are subject to attack of apple scab, and in seasons when th.e weather is cold and wet, a fourth application a little later is al­ ways advisable. For the winter va­ rieties of apples, a fifth application during the first part of August (the date varying*with the season), should be made for the second brood of cod­ ling moth. A slight modification of these sprays may be used to advan­ tage for any of our orchard fruits. For the apple and pear, it is ad­ visable to use a good brand of com­ mercial lime-sulphur solution at the rate of one part to 40 parts of water; one part to 50 for the cherry and plum; and one part to 100 for the peach. Two or three pounds of ar­ senate of lead should be added to each 50 gallons of the spray for the control of curculio, codling moth, tent-caterpillar, canker worm, and other chewing insects. For grape vines the same rules can be applied but Bordeaux mixture, composed of 4 pounds of copper sul­ phate, 5 pounds of lime and 50 gal­ lons of water, should be substituted for thp lime-sulphur. Ordinarily, this treatment will suffice, but for the control of plant lice and similar Insects, an application of tobacco decoction or the commercial "Black Leaf 4 0” tobacco solution should be used when the insects first appear.

FOOD SHORTAGE IS REASON? 250 American Refugees Reported to Have Left Mexico City But Train Arrive* With Other For- Vera Cruz. Max., April 28.—Tho transports bearing the Fifth army brigade under General Funston cast anchor in Vera Cruz harbor. Con­ trary to expectations the troops were hot landed and the rumor spread that their landing was delayed by orders from Washington because of the pend­ ing peace negotiations. It is admitted that they will not be landed Immediately. The official ex­ planation is that they cannot be per­ mitted to come ashore until more refugees are out <Jf the city, because of the serious shortage of food. Just how or Vhy the troops would consume any more food on shore than they will consunse on board their trans­ ports is not made ciear in the explana­ tion.

Dll. Some History. Robert Weidenall, dean secretary of the Young Men's Christian associ­ ations, organised the first rural as­ sociation in DuPage township, Will county, Illinois, in 1873. There were not even two houses near enough to each other to make a "corner"; but the results demon­ strated that the Association has "its greatest work yet to do in the opten country." ’ ' In 1875, Mr. Weidenall was called Into Mason City, Illinois. "This association Is hard up," he "What of It?" answered the un­ perturbed secretary. "We’ll have to sell our books, our chair and our tables." "Bell 'em then," bluntly. "They don't make a Young Men’s Christian Association." "But this association Is dead! Why, it's only got six members." "That’s four more’n we need.” "Are you a fool?’’ exclaimed tho men. "No, but give me two men under a tree and we can have a Young glen’s Christian association.” They gave him five. From this re-organized associa­ tion ih' this small town grew the country-wide movement. Michigan has fifteen organized counties, and forty others clamoring for organiza­ tion. Lenawee was the first organiz­ ed ten years ago, Allegan and Eaton counties following soon afterward. Eventually, it is expected that there will 'be 5000 employed secretaries and an investment - of $10,000,000. this 80-acre farm The owner has the western fever, and has it bad.

Plans are on foot for a "gathering of the clan" from among the descend­ ants of Remembrance Phlly. who fought through the war of the Revo­ lution and later lived and died In Schnectady county. New York. The gathering will be principally from among hts Michigan and Ohio des­ cendants. Seventy-two years ago hts daughter • Roxie, with her hus­ band. Isaac Barnum, and children, Albert, John, Llge, Hannah, Louisa. Melvina. Sarah, Andrew and Henry, came to Barry county and settled in Woodland township, where -many of their descendants still live. Mel­ vina and Sarah are the only ones still living of Roxie Phily Barnum’* chil­ dren. Several years later Hannah, an­ other daughter of Remembrance Phlly, came to Ohio and thence to Michigan with her husband, Peter Androus, and their children, Isaac, Roxie. Washington, George, Jesse, Maria, Edward, Nancy and Harriett. Of this family only Roxie (at the age of 95) is still living. She is with a grandson at La Grange, Lorain Co., Ohio. Still later Jeremiah Phlly, eldest child ot Remembrance Phlly, settled in Barry county with hts wife, Lucy Morgan, and the|r children, George, Henry. Hannah, and Mary, all of ^hom are still living. Many descendants of these three branches are in various parts of Bar­ ry county, and the "gathering of the clan" will be from among them, probably at about the time of the Old Brick school reunion, for the convenience of those who come from a distance. OBITUARY. John Henry Hyde was born in Siota,iOhio, August 6, 1839, and died April 27, 1914, aged 75 years, 8 months and 21 days. He came to Michigan with his parents when a small boy and settled on a farm in Maple Grove, where he lived until the time of his marriage to Adaline Jarrard, October 6, 1861, and a few years later moved to Croton township, Newaygo county, where he lived on a farm for about 30 years; then came to Morgan where he lived until the time of Tii* death. To this union four children, all sons, were born, two dying in Infancy and one when 19 years of age. He is survived by his wife, one son, one grandson, two sisters and a host of friends, who are left to mourn their loss. The funeral was held Wednesday at the homestead at 10 o'clock and at the Barryville ihurch at 2 o’clock. Rev. Geo. H. Lahr officiating. Burial In. Barryville cemetery.

ANDRUS ADMITTED TO BAR. Roy Andrus, Barry county’s effi­ cient county clerk, who has been put­ ting in hls spare moments for sev­ eral years studying law, went to De­ troit last week and took the bar ex­ amination before the state board of Law Examiners. Out of 29 appli­ cants, but twelve passed, and five of these were members of the bar In other states. The examination con­ sisted of a two-days written exami­ nation, on which six passed, and a half-day oral quiz, on which six more passed. Mr. Andrus had the honor of passing with the highest standing of any of the candidates. He had not expected to take the examina­ tion for two years yet, but went down more to see what it was like. He will not attempt-to enter Into ac­ tive practice at once, but will pursue hls studies further, and expects to be a candidate for renomlnation for county clerk. Mr. Andrus Is a con­ scientious, hard-working young man, and. we are indeed glad to chronicle hls success in passing bis examina­ tion with honors at the first attempt. ICE NOTICE.

Be­ tween six and seven hundred men, women and children were In the morning services held in the various churches—about one hundred per­ cent gain over the regular morning congregations. In the Methodist church the pastor greeted a splendid, inspiring audience in the morning, and the choir rendered excellent ser­ vice. The sermon text was, "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord." Af­ ter reviewing the criticisms of the church and the answer the church formerly gave, the answer she is now giving was indicated as two-fold: first, placing the emphasis on the kingdom conceived as "among you"Commnity or Social service; second­ ly, emphasizing the whosoever of the gospel invitation as implied in the "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation"—Mission­ ary Program. It was declared that the church carrying out these two “Programs," or to be more specific, the-church that would emphasize, the missionary motive, the godly life on the part of both the church as a cor­ porate institution and the church member, the community life, and genuine worship, together with the evangelization of the individual— that .such a church would be filled with glad, joyful worshippers and be a distinct community value. The Missionary program under the leadership of Mrs. Parka was very Interesting. An able address on our work among the colored people was given by Mrs. Rentschler, and an excellert recitation was rendered by Miss Marian Sprague. Next Sunday being Mother's Day, the pastor will discuss the influence of the home. We would indeed be glad to see all who were in our con­ gregation last Sunday in our morning service next Sunday. Baptist Church Notes. Do we need to go to church again? Our congregation was more than doubled last Sunday morning, still not half of the people in Nashville attended any church. It may be their own business. And yet it is to the interest of the people in general that all attend church when po'ssible, even more so than it is that all children attend school. It concerns the highest moral welfare of the vil­ lage. Why not go every Sunday? Two young men ’’ere baptised at the evening service, thus becoming members of the church. Next Sunday at 6:30 p. m. J. C. McDerby will have charge of the B. Y. P. U.z Rev. F. J. Betts, of Hastings,* will occupy our pulpit next Sunday morn­ ing. No preaching in the evening. . We are sorry that Mrs. Seaman is still ill. Two other members of the church were unable to be present, be­ cause of poor health—Mrs. Price and Mrs. Knowles.

An authority on the subject* of sleep and Its recreative powers makes the following suggestion and claim: “Cut short the long, light sleep of the morning hours and substitute a short sleep at some favorable time during the workday. Fifteen minutes' sleep after the heaviest work and the main meal of the day will count more for efficiency than five times 15 minutes of sleep in the morning.” It Is somewhat remarkable that the first British secretary of war. Sir W. Clarke, was killed In a naval action. His duties were those of a secretary to the commander-ln-chief, and, as such, he accompanied the duke of Al­ bemarle to sea In 1666, and was killed on June L His official salary was at first (2.50, and subsequently $5 a day, cut of which he paid his clerks.

"Why shouldn’t a woman get a man's wages?” asks a suffragist. Most oi ’em do—especially the mar­ ried ones. The man who builds a landing place and warehouse for the ship be expects to come in may be classed as a real optimist. You make a mistake if you figure Chat the boss can’t get along without you—but you can make yourself so indispensible that he would hate to. What's the' use of calling a man a liar? You can’t convince him—be­ sides, he knows it already. Folks who don’t have' enough to eat don’t waste any money on dys* pepsla tablets.

Mellow-toned, cobwebby laces are In great favor. As usual, the prettiest costumes are the simplest. Some exceedingly pretty necklaces are made of curious beads and fiowers combined. If the gilded picture frames have become discolored, take the water in which onions have been boiled, dip a soft rag in it -and wipe over the frames. When churning it is sometimes dlfflcult to make the butter gather. Try putting a little soda in the cream. It will cause the scattered bits of butter to gather. Take an old salt or sugar bag and put in ft any old scraps or odd bits of soap. Wash the dishes with this bag just as you would with a reg­ ular dish rag. You will find this a splendid substitute. The silhouette of today is the drooping shoulder, large waist, ex­ tended hips, bustle effect and nar­ rowness at the ankles.

The flrat graders are about to be­ gin reading in the Aldine second reader. The primary room Is preparing a program for Bird Day. Mrs. Deane visited the primary room one day last week. Those from the second grade hav­ ing perfect spelling lessons for the week are Robert Smith and Fannie Hecker. Those having perfect spelling for the week In room 3 were William Appleton. Helen Pratt, Lois Rey­ nolds, Jennette Furniss, Louisa Everts, Hazel Klnne and Lora Snore. Monday the sixth grade wrote compositions, using for a subject, "A Trip to the Woods.” Flossie Beard of the fifth grade has been absent from school the past week on account of illness. The sixth grade has been memoriz­ ing the poem, "The Coming of Spring.” The students of the modern history class are tracing the developments of the English parliament. The class in English twelve reads “The Passing of Arthur” this week. On Friday; May 1. a very pleasant spelling contest was held in the high school room, the freshman class spelling against the three other class­ 1 es. The words pronounced in the ' first part of the contest were lessons 1 which had been studied from "The ’ New Modern Business Speller.” This book is a regular text book for the ।first year students. For the remain­ ■ ing time words, seemingly new to |both sides, were used and the ranks on ।both sides went down. Finally, as the time for closing the contest came near, the word tete-a-tete was 1 pronounced to the four remaining I 1students and all went down. Common Ground.

To all intents he was a man at peace with the world. He had money and power. He had advanced from a penniless miner to a millionaire figure in the business world. At fifty his were the fruits of a well-spent, energetic life. Handsome and Immaculate In his per­ fectly tailored evening clothes, he fit­ ted into the beautiful room with Its rich tapestries and oriental rugs with all the ease and* naturalness of a man born to culture and wealth. Every now and then his eyes wan­ dered from his newspaper to the fig­ ure of his wife sitting at the other side of the richly carved table. The tiny, unIm posing little woman in her badly cut, dun-colored gown was the one in­ congruous detail In the room. She was like a shabby little prairie flower suddenly transplanted to a conserva­ tory where brilliant orchids and lovely roses bloomed all about her, her faint little fragrance overpowered by their heavy sweetness—her delicate loveli­ ness completely submerged by ven­ contrast with the radiant beauty of her surroundings. To Slade's critical eyes, the dowdy little figure, with the work basket In her lap and her head bent ove^Jhe stocking she was contentedly dsfnltlg. was an actual eyesore. He^hud fitted up a magnificent home that would have made a perfect setting for a prin­ cess, and his wife's appearance had not changed a particle from the days when they lived tn a tumble-down cot­ tage and he worked in the mines In his ihirtsleeves. With the getting of vast amounts of money be had acquired a veneer of manners and tastes that at times failed to conceal the rough and brutal Instincts of the real man. His enlarging, but social horizon (v 1thin it his wife seemed to find no place. He wanted, beyond this and everything, to climb the political tree and pick the fruits thereof. His wife seemed not to know that there was such a thing as a political tree to zllmb. With herself, her busband and her work she was contented and happy. The wives of other men of his po­ sition were social queens noted for their beautiful gowns, their entertain­ ing and their clever wit. He alone was shackled to a Vo man be would have been ashamed to introduce to hb-friends. Only he was tied to a wife he could not force either by pleading or argument to enter into the life which meant so much to him. Tonight as he rehearsed In his mind his many unsuccessful efforts to make Mary advance and take an Inter­ est In his life as It was now, rebellion surged in bls heart. He bad struggled year after year to attain bls present standing, his present position In the world, and Mary, the one loved thing of bls life, insisted on banging like a millstone around his neck. Why, oh, why, couldn't the woman progress? Why hadn't she developed as he had done? Why was she com­ placently sitting there satisfied to re­ main just as she had been twenty years ago, hopelessly behind the times ? And If she wouldn't advance—whyshould he consent to be held back by her? If she wouldn't go on with him —he would leave her behind. The thought and the resultant decision had their birth suddenly but positively in the man's mind. He would make one more argument, one last appeal. If Mary wouldn’t meet him half way, Mary could stay behind with, her ever­ lasting darning and her eternal knit­ ting. She could wash and cook and •tew and sew, if she liked, but she couldn't do it in his mansion. But Daniel Slade was no more un­ comfortable at having her there than Mary Slade was at being obliged to live in this great, elegant house, with its crowds of servants and Its routine, absolutely foreign and well-nigh'hate­ ful to her. She knew she didn't fit Into her surroundings. She realized her own Inharmony. Her attempts to look natural and feel comfortable were pathetic. She felt lost without the task of overseeing the Monday’s washing. She was heart-broken be­ cause she couldn’t personally superin­ tend the making of Dan's coffee. Her life was Incomplete because a hired cook made the bread that was served on the table and because Dan never seemed to miss the evenly brown loaves that had been her especlaj Mary mod* was as commonplace as Veterinary physician and surgeon.

Cittsens phone 84. a simple, unpretentious life, with the and little "Dusting the gubernatorial chair,” Slade repeated mockingly, cut .to the quick by this public allusion to bls wife’s plainness and lack of social graces. That simple little phrase, stinging as It was brief, was as a match flame to dry timber. It was all that was necessary to bring the hot rage surg­ ing through' him to the boiling point. The sweetness of the little woman's expression, the tenderness of her eyes whenever they rested upon him, the plaintive softness of her voice meant nothing to him then. Through angry eyes he saw only the lack of smart­ ness th her somber brown dress, only the note of absurdity she struck amid the exquisite surroundings of the room be had furnished for her. He thought of nothing but the sorry spec­ tacle she would make at a brilliant dinner or smart function where beau­ tiful women in fashionable chiffons chatted freely and easily of men and things *n the progress of the nation. “This Is some of Wesley Merritt's tinhorn tooting writing," growled Blade. "D----- n his dirty work!” As her husband muttered to him­ self, Mary bad calmly resumed her endless mending of socks, long years of thrift and saving making it Impos­ sible for her to throw away even a well-worn pair tn spite of the fact that the need for repairing bad long since passed. Blade found himself looking at the little woman who had been his wife for twenty years, through lean years and- hard years, as faithful and pa­ tient then as later, when success first began to come his way, very much as he might have scrutinised an entire stranger. For a moment the tragedy of their present state caught at his soul, and he felt the infinite pathos of the woman's predicament A softer note came into his voice as he asked slowly: “Say, haven't you got any clothes, Mary? Haven't you any of the things other women wear at night—silk or lace or ruffles or—whatever they neighbors dropping In for a word or two, exchanging recipes for muffins and debating the proper way to sea­ son a stew. There was neither charm nor com­ fort for her in the vista of rooms open­ ing out from the spacious library. The brocaded chairs were straight and didn't rock. They were high-posted and stilted compared to her own lowseated little rocker In the cottage. When she sat back In them, stiffly and awkwardly,- her feet didn’t even, reach the floor, but dangled restlessly above the priceless rug that was one of her busband's newest purchases. All big crises in life are the re­ sults of trifles. It took the merest Incident to crystallise Slade’s thought into action. Mary had picked up a portion of the paper after it had dropped from her husband’s hands. She started to read the printed page with all the serious importance of a little child trying to do something very big and grown-up. Suddenly her eyes lighted with pleasure and a tender smile of pride and delight illuminated her features. In turning the pages she had sud­ denly- discovered a picture of her hus­ band. under which she read a simple but significant line: “Daniel S. Slade, a Possible Gover­ nor." “Oh, Dan,” she cried, happily. “Isn’t "Yes, I've got 'em," Mary replied, this*a fine picture of you. I could indifferently, “but it’s too cold to almost imagine it was going to speak wear 'em, and those silk stocking! you told me to buy—I can't wear Then she paused a little wistfully them, either—they tickle my toes. and doubtfully before she asked: Satin elippers made me uncomfort­ “But do you really want to be gov­ able, and—" she finished with a bub­ ernor?" bling little laugh, "I guess I wasn't made tor those things, Dan, dear.

The very ambition the last few years bod been sight of the darning needle in her fin­ made In the one direction, toward gers maddened him. the one longed-for goal—political “Good God, Mary," he exclaimed, power!

Want to they're uncomfortable.” be—when that was his one ambition, Just a suggestion of a smile played the one thing he had yet to achieve! around Mary Slade's sweet mouth as He sighed wearily to himself. That she anewered; Mary could ask that question was the "They're yours, Dan. It's the only best proof of bow irrevocably they had drifted apart. Living in the same thing left that I can do for you—now. 1 can’t bear to see strangers touch house with him, eating at the same table, day after day at his side, the your things—" and her voice trailed little woman knew no more of his off in a wistful sigh, a sigh which real self or bis ambitions than the might on any other occasion have made its appeal to the earnest-faced merest stranger. “It's a nice story about yer, Dan," man now gating at her so grimly. The lightness of her tone showed Mary went on, all unconscious of the struggle going on just a few feet away how little she realized the seriousness from her—the struggle between the of the situation—how little she under­ heart of a man that calls out to the stood how- inadequately she was fill­ companion of bls youth, the sharer of ing her position as bis wife. She his joys and struggles and the brain loved her husband with the devotion Of a elave and the reverence of a wor­ shiper at a shrine, but. like many an­ other good woman, she wanted to show her affection in her own way and not tn bis. Because she wanted to do for him with her hands, she turned a deaf ear to bls pleas that she use her bead. Sb» wanted her husband to be happy and comfortable, but she wanted to make him happy and comfortable according to her own Ideas of what ought to make a man satisfied. She bad seen him rise grad­ ually at first and then by leaps and bounds. Now that he had become wealthy and successful she wanted to decide for him that he ought to let well enough alone. To her it seemed foolish to bother about being gover­ nor, absurd for him to fret about the way she dressed and did things. So, for awhile they sat in silence and the fire dying down left the room chilly, so chilly that Mary started up to get a shawl. Halfway to the door, she was peremptorily called back by her husband, who, ringing for a maid, dispatched her for the wrap, while Mary, humiliated and with something of the air of a martyr, went sighing back to the big, uncomfortable chair to resume the mending that was such an irritation to her hueband. "Why can’t you learn to be waited on, Mary?" her husband asked, not un­ kindly. ’’Other women do.” ”l’m slow—slow and old-fashioned,” the woman answered, quietly, but with an air which plainly showed that she was perfectly satisfied with herself She Was Shabby Prairie and that she thought he ought to be.

We've tx-en through it together." ’’Well,” demanded Slade eagerly •nd hopefully, “why don't you march along with me then, Mary?" His wife turned to him earnestly. For a moment Dan Blade thought the woman he loved was about to rise to the occasion. "Dan." she said, “I'll tell you some­ thing. These expensive laundries ruin your shirts right off, and when I washed .'em they lasted a whole year. They ain't Ironed right, either." "Oh. my God!" groaned Slade, help­ lessly, pitying her lack of understand­ ing rather than being angry with her. "I wish you’d forget, Mary, that I had to let you wash and scrub once. We're up now. Let us kick the lad­ der out from under us and stay up— forget how we got here.” “But I don’t want to forget," remon­ strated the little wisp of a woman op­ posite him. "1 was perfectly content­ ed those days. I ain’t now. I hate this house. I bate IL It's too big. The help scare me, so many of ’em.

Her husband sat with face averted, his Imagination carrying him far into the future—a vision of honor as chief executive of the state and power in keeping with the untold riches he had accumulated. "That’s it,” he finally exclaimed, "I want to go ahead and you want to stick over your washtubs. I need the support of big people—got to mix with 'em, and be one of ’em. And you won’t" "No, I don't have to,” replied Mary. "I needn't" "You don't see the necessity of join­ ing me?" he asked, testily. “I don’t know how." ' "Do you want to know how?" he persisted. "No," came the provoklngly indiffer­ ent answer. "You're putting the bars up In the toegiax to her own plain w speech. Mary caught her breath with a as* of dismay. The very thought perar lyzed her. "I can’t, Dan,” she tlnaHr managed to blurt out “1’0 do anyw. thing else for you—but not this.’’ "I’ll not ask you again," replied Slade, ominously, and poor Mary, too excited to interpret the threat, picked up her sewing and her newspaper* and made for the door.

Suddenly Mary's lips quivered and a hurt look showed In her eyes behind the misty tears as she realized that whatever she did Irritated her hus­ band. She started to speak, but was Interrupted by the entrance of a serv­ ant, who announced that Senator Strickland and his daughter had just phof.d to say that be and his daugh­ ter would call on Ihelr way to the opera. Slade’s face flushed and paled at the thought—flushed at the pleasurable surprise at this unlooked-for attention from the senator, and paled as he thought of the senator’s stunningly gowned daughter arriving to find his wife In a cheap, Ill-fitting dress that would have looked badly even for morning wear. “Mary, you look like a steerage pas­ senger,” he exclaimed suddenly, turn­ ing on the flustered little woman, who was aghast at the very thought of a call from the senator and his daugh­ ter. “Go upstairs and. dress.

THE REXALL STORE At Vicksburg on Friday night, Eaton Rapids Saturday, Nashville Sunday and Sparta Monday, is a pret­ ty fast itinerary - for a couple of thieves to fill and escape tbe clutches of tbe law, as Harry Grice and Frank McKay, claiming to hall from In­ dianapolis and Chicago respectively, discovered when picked up by the authorities near Sparta. It had been some time since Nashville was visited by this class of miscreants, and several of our merchants were naturally astounded to find their store doors wide open Monday morn­ ing. A hasty Inventory, however, revealed the fact that the burglars had been satisfied with a very light haul. * At G. C. Deane & Co.’s, they had replenished their wardrobe with four blue serge suits, two raincoats, belts, shirts, neckties and other merchan­ dise amounting to over 1100. At McLaughlin's, they took an auto cap and made a thorough but futile search for money. Furnlss & Wot­ ring contributed about 32.25 in cash, and about >100 worth of goods, in­ cluding silver spoons, watch chains, fountain pens, Rexali kidney tablets, etc. At eac£ jplace thq front door had been pried open with a heavy chisel or bar. the timely electrical storm covering any noise they may have made. At Townsend’s elevator. they broke into the office building and searched through a quantity of old papers, evidently paying no attention to the safe which was open and which contained in the neighborhood of $175 in currency at the time. Sheriff Williams of Hastings was summoned and spent the day with Deputy Sheriff Keyes working on the case. Two suspicious looking fel­ lows had arrived on the midnight train Saturday night and engaged a room at the hotel. Sunday night they asked the landlord to call them in time to take the same train, but did not leave the hotel until after the train had pulled out of tbe station. They were not seen again about town, and the officials were still following up this clew when word came from Grand Rapids Tuesday morning of tbe arrest of two burglars, following a raid of thirteen business places at Sparta They had two suitcases full of jewelry, clothing, etc., the suits still bearing the G. C. Deane & Co.’s George Deane. H. D. Wotring and Walter1 Springborg went to Grand Rapids Tuesday to Identify the goods. The burglars had waived examina­ tion in justice court, but. after the stolen property had been identified, confessed and their trial was held In the Kent county circuit court Tuesday afternoon, each of them drawing a sentence of from three to fifteen years In the state penitentiary. WHAT SORT OF POLITICS? According to dispatches in the state papers. Senator William Smith of St. Johnsand a few of his friends had a conference at Charlotte one night last week looking toward Mr. Smith's renomination for another term in the state senate. Clintqn county has already had the office two terms. Senator Vaughn serving one and then dropping out to run for a state office. Senator Smith taking his place, with a very dis­ tinct understading at the time he was nominated that it was to be for one term only, that being the second term to which Mr. Vaughn would have been entitled. Prior to that, Eaton county had' held the office two terms. It is now Barry county's turn to name the man for the place, and in common fairness Clinton county should leave the naming of the next state senator to Barry county. Eaton county republicans recognize the fact that it is Barry county's turn for the place, and Clinton can hardly afford to endeavor to change the established order of things after having already been represented for the past two terms In, the state sen­ ate. Would’nt it be much better to play fair? There is such a thing as integrity in politics as well as in business and social life, and we believe the people' of Clinton county wiP fail to uphold the proposition to endeavor to per­ petuate in office a man who has no logical claim to the position.

RobL Smith, Clerk. the high cost of living is solved. elim­ inate waste and the longevity pf the peopled Is lengthened. The annual- loss of property and Ute by fire in Michigan is appalling. This iois arises very largely from carelessness, a kind of carelessness that is criminal. All winter Jong, in our villages and cities and sometimes on the farm, rubbish accumulates in out buildings. In alleys and by the road side, in store rooms and attics, furnishing fire traps for the dry season. Further­ more, the accumulation of rubbish, especially of vegetable origin, is a breeding center for disease produc­ ing bacteria. Cleanliness is abso­ lutely essential to health. Cleanli­ ness is a kind of patriotism that needs all possible encouragement. I, Woodbridge N. Ferris, Gover­ nor of Michigan, do hereby designate Friday, the 15th day of May, 1914, as "Clean Up Day.” I heartily rec­ ommend all officials, mayors, fire marshals, health officers, etc., to use al! possible diligence in awakening al! of the people under their jurisdic­ tion to a realization of tbe import­ ance of putting their premises in or­ der against the day of needless fires and epidemics. Officials should not only urge the importance of this work, but enforce impartially the laws of the state to this end. I, fur­ thermore, urge that the schools of Michigan, both public and private, recognize this day through fire drill exercises, and discussions of the best method of preserving property and life. All civic organizations should share in this work of conserving life and property. The press with its mighty enginery for good, will, with­ out urging, do all in Its power to make this day a beacon light for all the other days of the year. In witness whereof, I have hereun­ to set my hand and caused to be affix­ ed tbe Great Seal of State, at the Capitol, in the city of Lansing, this 29th day of April, A. D. 1914. Signed Woodbridge N.

By having some Tbit Trade Mark on Every Sack duty, even the most inconsequential, to perform, the child feels the res­ ponsibility that goes with this duty. The "no work" rule, mainly because of pride in the family, is building up a careless and shiftless generation, the consequences of which are sure to come home to roost at a time when the parent is least able to bear them. Vacation season Is nearly at-hand. There should be play hours and work hours with the child, but above all things the work hours should be ad­ hered to. It will be unwise for the child to spend Its entire vacation sea­ son in play. So important is this matter that educators, even our own superintend­ ent of schools, are agitating "yeararound"'schools.

It was a matter of making some one huge stroke or sinking back into stupid obscurity, a situation all the more bitter because of her previous successes. Tbe thought of settling down into the ev­ eryday life of the western city where she was born made' her very soul squirm. Surely there was something more . in life for her. Surely there were bigger goals to be gained. She had never realized bow empty the old home life was until now, when she suddenly found herself a part of it again after the brilliant European season and the stimulating, exciting life In diplomatic circles at the capital The thought of remaining in the West, a big frog in a little puddle, had grown positively hateful to her. Big or little herself, she wanted a big puddle. She was quite satisfied in her own mind that no puddle would be so big that she couldn’t become a frog of considerable size in it Now, as her restless brain and soul clamored for higher goals and a wider field, the thought of Slade's millions, Slade’s dominating, forceful personal­ ity, Slade's reputation for sweeping everything before him, Slade's prob­ able governorship, flashed through her mind like a burning streak of electric fire. With him, with his weapons, what a career lay before a woman! Just as suddenly she found herself wondering what sort of a woman had been a mate to this man for so many years. She was conscious of a poign­ ant pang of envy—Jealousy almost— against this woman who had the op­ portunity which was denied her. "Well, what do you think of your own country, now you're back?” she heard Slade's voice saying. “Seem big to you?” "Oh, I like Washington," she said, bringing herself back to the conver­ sation with difficulty. Her father, noticing her abstrac­ tion, remarked indulgently: "She likes Washington, Slade. She* likes the East, but she doesn’t tell it to every­ body on account of father’s votes. Now, Slade and I love our western city, eh, Slade r "Well," with some reluctance, "it's a good starting point,” Slade admitted. “Ah!" Katherine exclaimed, now thoroughly herself again. "There’s a man for you! He's not going to let a town stand in his way. Mr. Slade, this Is father's Waterloo. He's been a great disappointment to me. That's the worst of parents. We children never know how they're going to turn out. If father had only listened to me it would have been Washington for him—Washington for me. But he wouldn’t cross the Delaware. He wouldn’t leave the Weet If there'd only been a drop of Napoleon in fa­ ther," she concluded with a sudden burst of vehemence. "Napoleon!” repeate'’ the senator. "Yes, Napoleon. He got what he wanted, and nothing ever stood in his path. I Just love the way he rode over poor old Josephine’s heart, don’t you?"—and she turned to Slade. "But he was right!" she continued, earnestly, a« if she were making a plea for something that lay very close to her own heart. “Why should we let anyone bold us back? I wouldn’t But mother didn’t want to leave the West, so father stuck to his town and bls friends and his state. Now he stands in the background and boosts other men politically. "He wants to boost you," she added, suddenly. "Letting out secrets.” her father ac­ cused. playfully. But Katherine was never more se­ rious. "You’re his dark horse." she pc related. , "You’re a lucky man, senator," Slade broke in. as he watched Kath­ erine admiringly "You’re a lucky man to have a charming young woman behind you In the race.” "That's all we women are for,” an­ swered Katherine, bitterly, "standing behind some man and watching him do things." "Why, child alive, you do things yourself," the senator remonstrated. "She makes busts. Slade—heads. Done some big gune In Europe." Katherine sighed and leaned back wearily in her chair. "Oh, in my feminine way. I model,” she admitted. "But if there’d been one drop of Na­ poleon In father I shouldn’t have bad to fall back on molding clay. I should have been molding,” she hesitated, and then finished daringly, “opinions and people.” CHAPTER III. Just how much more freely Kath­ erine might have revealed her alms and Inspirations, Slade could not know, for at that moment the butler appeared and engaged his attention. As the man withdrew. Slade spread wide his arms and announced gran­ diloquently: "The gentleman of the water-front crowd, if you pleaee. Mr. Wesley Merritt, the gentleman who wasn’t go­ ing to darken my door, is here!" He broke off with a loud, mirthless laugh. As well as any man who ever lived, he liked to feel the grip of his own power. He had come to the point where it was genuine satisfaction to humble men and conquer things. "Wesley Merritt!" the senator was almost too surprised for, speech. "After his abuse of you In the papertoday—. And Hunt! How did you do it?” "This is the sort of thing I like,” broke in Katherine, eagerly. "Oh, it's so exciting,” she declared, her eyes glowing with eagerness and animation. "Oh, Mr. Slade, how did you make them kow-tow T’ Slade's reply was prevented by the brusque, excited entrance of Merritt and Hunt. The pair, angry and bel­ ligerent, strode into the room without a word. Merritt, small, wiry, ener­ getic, was in the lead, followed closely by bis shadow and echo. Hunt. "Is It truer* he demanded angrily, before he realized that Slade was not alone. “How do you do. senator— Miss Strickland!" he exclaimed. In surprise. "Lovely home you have,. Mr. Slade,” he added, trying to adjust him­ self to the scene he had not expected. "An astonishing rumor has reached us, Mr. Slade," he finally declared, get­ ting down to tbe business of his inva­ sion. "It concerns you, senator. It concerns every public-spirited man in the city. Is it true, Slade, that you have bought up our entire water front on which our residences—our old homes—the mansions of the city face, and that you Intend building factories there T* "Why, yes,” Slade admitted, with maddening calmness. "What?” Strickland almost shouted, completely astounded. "But—but it can’t be done,” Merritt was bo excited now that he stuttered hie words. "It can’t be done." echoed Hunk He was well paid for being an echo. "Our best people live there," pro­ tested Merritt. "I live-there," Hunt added, with ac­ cumulated emphasis. "All of us," Merritt continued, "take pride In the view along the water front It’s damnable. Why, out of common decency, man— What do you want of factories, anyway?" he de­ manded, completely angered and out of patience. Slade's voice was almost a drawl, it was so low-pitched • and so provokingly calm. "Why didn’t you and your associate® protect your holdings T’ he Inquired. "How’d we know a man with mil­ lions would come along and buy up the whole beach?” Merritt's wrath was getting beyonJ the control that Katherine's p. jsence demanded. listening to his every word with eager* Intentness. "You see. I’m a very simple softer fellow," Blade was saying, "don’t drtafc ‘—don’t smoke—don't keep yachts «r horses, don’t keep wo—" he stopped ta his oft-repeated formula u he remem­ bered Katherine’s presence, "don’t, keep horses, so I must do something; as I was saying to Mrs. Slade today.

The famous "Scotty” Phillip herd of buffalo which has been kept in a 10, 1000 aero pasture near Fort Pierre, 8. D., has lately been placed in the mar­ ket by tho sons of the former owner, now deceased. This is the largest hen! I of buffalo in the United States and I comprises 275 animals three years old or past, fifty-five head of two-year-olds land seventy head of yearlings. The entire herd is full blooded, and most of them were born in captivity.

Tbe round barn, of which there ar® a good many scattered here and there over the country, cost considerably lass from tbe standpoint of materials, but seems to require an architectural skill that is not always available. Nor does tbe round barn give a maximum of room for its size, but it lends itself i to an arrangement which makes it pos­ sible to care for the stock in less time. A further point urged In its favor Is that it will resist windstorms better than will structures of the rectangular Henry Ford, the automobile manu­ facturer, brought to this country some few months ago 380 English song birds, representing five species—name­ ly. the chaffinch.

To further encourage the propagation of native birds Mr. Ford has had 2.000 bird houses erected on this bird ranch for bluebirds, wrens and other home loving birds. ■ It Is little wonder that a good many corn belt farmers hare little faith In the serum treatment for hog cholera if any considerable number of them get "soaked" on fake, cheap skate serums, as did the farmers of North Dakota. Professor Ladd of the North Dakota Agricultural college is authority for tbe statement that tbe farmers of that state during the past year paid more than $20,000 for fake serums. an anal­ ysis of one of which showed that it contained nothing but water with a very small percentage of potassium iodide This dope, which wasn’t worth a continental as a cholera cure, cost less than 5 cents an ounce, but gullible grangers eagerly forked over thelr.coin A young lady, nineteen years old, employed as a stenographer in a law office at North Yakima.

He could see the blue glint of Betty’s gown as abe descended—Betty, whom he was accus-I tomed to seeing dressed like the mod­ est little wood-bird’that flitted timidly through the wild-plum thickets. "That makes the third time this week." muttered John sternly. ”1 wonder if they 'think I am going to stand for this sort of thing, with all the neighbors grinning at me like a set of lunatics!” And he strode to the roadside as Mayhew drew near, raising a detaining hand. ’’Sorry to trouble you. Mr. May­ hew,** he said with forced evenness. "I merely wish to say that this, sort of thing has got to stop.” ”1 should say that is a matter which concerns only Miss Betty and myself,” answered Howard Mayhew, without heat "Well, it concerns me," said Fen­ ton, shortly. "I see but one way In which you could enter into the question. Do you mean that there is an engagement be­ tween you?” “See here. Fenton.” Mayhew leaned forward, pleasantly in earnest “I’ve never wished to take what belongs to another man—if he really has a right to it But when he flaunts his rights in my face I want to be sure he is not a dog in a -manger. “I don’t deny I find Miss Betsy's so­ ciety mighty agreeable, but 1 should never have dreamed of taking her driving if I had supposed she was en­ gaged to you—and permit me to add that I do not believe she is the woman to go. if she supposed it!

"Do you think Pm fool enough to tell you what has passed between Betty and me?

I refuse to acknowledge any such agreement No man worthy of the name will hold a girl to an agreement in which he does not commit himself. You are a dog in the manger, that Is John Fenton stood watching the grays disappear In . the twilight, shaken by such anger as had never before touched his sctt-centcrad. de­ liberate existence, an anger which grew with every step he took in tho direction of Betty Martin. Betty sat on her dilapidated front step? contemplating the hand spread out on her blue-clad knee. There was a soft shining and twinkling about It that sent unaccustomed and delightful thrills through Betty’s whole being. To think that she could ever have the privilege of accepting or refusing such She still sat as if spellbound when John Fenton strode in at the gate and up to the steps. “Betty,” he cried, seizing the hand with the ring upo*It and regarding her sternly, “doe this mean that you Intend marrying that feUow?“ ”T—do not know.” faltered Betty. “Well, I know that you are not go­ ing to do it! Do you suppose I am going to be set aside In this fashion? Give me the ring and I'll take it back to Howard Mayhew In the morning. Fire flashed in the gentle eyes of Betty Martin. “No one can decide the question of whom I shall marry, except myself. Howard has asked me to marry him, and I know of no one with the right to interfere. I eould not give him a definite answer this evening, and he begged me to keep the ring until I could. I tell yor this, in spite of your unwarrantable intru­ sion. because of our long friendship. And remember this another time,John, a woman knows only what she is told!” The succeeding 24 hours were bitter to John Fenton. He did not want any­ one else to have Betty. “I had the chance and did uot know enough to take it I'm not good enough for her,” he groaned aloud. “Betty is not selling herself for worldly pos­ sessions; she wants to live; she is tired of waiting. I shall do the fair thing by her once—I’m going to tell her she is doing right" The Are returned to Betty's eyes when she saw who stood at the door. She wore the blue gown and the ring, on the possibility of Mayhew's appear­ ance, and the* indecision which had been torturing her crystal lxed into firm determination when she beheld Fenton. “ni take only a minute of your time, Betty,” he announced with amaz­ ing humility, after one comprehensive glance at htr, “and thia is the last word I shall ever have to ray about it ’Tvs come to take back what I said last night I had no right to speak as I did. I—I—It is hard for me to say, but I think you cannot do better than to marry Howad Mayhew. And I do not'think you are selling yourself." ’•But you never said I was selling myself," faltered Betty, timidly. “I raid it to myself," declared the man. “I’m not fit to ask your for­ giveness.

It was well attended and the audience was loud in its praises of the various members of the cast. The costumes added greatly to the success of the play, although much credit Is due to the untiring efforts of the. class. The partq were well learned and the usual "stagefright," commonly visible in firstnight performances, was notice­ ably absent. Between scenes, the audience was enjoyably, entertained with piano solos by Miss Gladys Greene, a member of the class. It has been some time since any ciass of the high school has attempted such a difficult undertaking and it is to be hoped that the success of this play, which shows that Nashville* is not slow to respond to the call of its young people, will encourage other classes to put more of Shakespeare's plays before the public, ALUMNI PLANNING BIG REUNION The officers of the Nashville High School Alumni association held a meeting last week and planned to make the coming reunion of the as­ sociation. to be held on the evening of June 12, the biggest success in the history of the association. The banquet this year Is to be held at 6:30 p. m., sharp, instead of at eigh’ or nine, as in former years. An attractive program to follow the ban­ quet is being prepared, and the offi­ cers of the association are asking every member to join them in boosting to make this year's meeting not only the biggest, but the best, that the association has ever held. This can easily be done if the memberswill but display a part of the energy and en­ thusiasm. that is being exhibited by the officers, who are now hard at work arranging for the affair. No­ tice will be sent next week to every member of the association, and the officers expect prompt and hearty response to every notice. AUTO CLUB MEETING. The Automobile Club will hold a meeting at the Nashville club rooms Friday evening. May 22, at 8 o'clock, at which time it Is hoped that not only every member of the club, but every owner of an automobile in Nashville and vicinity will be present. This meeting Is called by order of H. C Glasner, president of the club, and the object of the meeting is to get automobile owners together in a meeting to talk over the various topics of mutual interest. The club was organized in 1911, and while it has not held regular meetings, has retained Its organization, and has money in the treasury. There are many topics of interest to be discuss­ ed. and it is hoped to make the meet­ ing of general interest, to all owners of machines. You are cordially Invited to attend, whether you are a member of the club or not. SHOT HIMSELF IN LEG. John Dull, who lives on H. A. Offley's farm, northwest of town, is carrying around an excess amount of lead which he would be glad to get rid of. but can't. He was cleaning 3 revolver, Monday noon, when the pesky thing went off and the bullet, u 32 calibre, lodged in bis leg just below the hip. Dr. E. T. Morris was promptly called, and probed for the ball, but was unable to locate It. The wound was dressed and the chances are that it will heal up all right If any trouble dovelopes, it will be nec­ essary to use the X-ray machine to locate the ball before It can be re­ moved. At present the young man is getting along in good shape, al­ though suffering somewhat from the wound. WRONG NUMBER? PROBABLY. A Naihville bank official's friends are having a lot of fun with him because he tried to call up bis wife the other evening to ask her what she wanted him to bring up for sup­ per. Accidentally or otherwise, he asked for the wrong number. Now does it look reasonable that a man would forget his own telephone num­ ber? And isn't it funny that the number be asked for was the number of an unmarried lady, living alone? Perhaps he cai^ square it with his wife if she finds out about it. but we know darned well what our better half would think if we tried anything like that and got caught at it. THE JOKE WENT WRONG. Carl Lentz has joined the numer­ ous horde of Nashville people who keep chickens, and his best chum, Kent Nelson, thought It would be a lot of fun to play a joke on him, so he secured a duck’s egg, thinking to slip it into one of the nests in Carl's chicken house, taking it for granted that Carl wouldn’t know the differ­ ence and would think his hens were becoming generous in the size of the eggs they were delivering. Kent carried the egg very carefully out of sight in his coat pocket, but had gone only a short distance when he dis­ covered that the egg had received a slight injury. You know the rest.

South Main street was the_____ scehe pf a lively runaway last Friday morn­ ing. Roy Bastsett's horse furnishing the excitement. Roy was making preoarations to start on his mail route and had left the horse hitched to a buggy in the yard at his home south of the village. Evidently be­ coming tired of waiting, the animal started for the postoffice without a driver and proceeded nicely until it crossed the railroad track. Here several men tried to stop the horse and it shied sideways, jumped the gutter and ran across Streeter's and H. E. Downing's lawns, "finally being brought to a stop by the iron rail­ ing between the Downing place and Taylor's feed barn. One wheel of the buggy was badly smashed and a column torn from the Streeter house porch in the fracas. BIBLE LECTURES.

Under certain conditions it is probably safe to prune at nearly any time, but as conditions vary it is much better to have two definite per­ iods in the year when this work should be attended to. Once dur­ ing the dormant season from Novem­ ber to April, or in the height of the growing season, June, Is an excellent time. There are certain advantages deriv­ ed from pruning in either season but the effect of winter and summer pruning is almost‘directly opposite. Winter pruning checks the growth of fruit buds and encourages wood growth, which includes the forma­ tion. of water sprouts. Summer pruning promotes formation of fruit buds and checks wood growth. Perhaps the principal reason that pruning on the farm is carried oh almost exclusively in the winter is the fact that then Is about the only chance to handle the work. The av­ erage farmer is much inclined to neg­ lect his orchard, and wonders why it is not producing fruit. A fruit tree as well as any other food pro­ ducer, must have attention and care if it is to long survive and be profita­ ble. Summertime is really the best sea­ son to prune, for the tree wounds heal better, it is easier to detect di­ seased or bad branches, and some waste growth may be saved. The great problem Is to get the orchard owner to see the advantage of prun­ ing at all, and it is sadly neglected in Missouri, which should be one of the greatest fruit states. There is no time like the present, so get into the orchard today and you will be well paid for your labor next year. Child Cross? Feverish? Sick?

Most readers of newspapers are not familiar with the laws governing subscriptions. Here are the deci­ sions of the United States court on the subject: "Subscribers who do not give ex­ press notice to the contrary are con­ sidered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. "If the subscriber orders a discon­ tinuance of their publication the pub­ lisher may continue to send them un­ til all dues are paid. "If the subscriber refuses to take periodicals from the post office to which they are directed he Ip respon­ sible until be has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. "If subscribers move to other pla­ ces without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the form­ er address, the subscriber Is held re­ sponsible."The courts have held that refus­ ing to take periodicals from the post­ office or removing and leaving them uncalled for Is prlma facie evidence of intention to defraud. “If subscribers pay In advance, they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the sub­ scribe- is responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearage is sent to the publisher." Ancient Cult of the Flycatoh«r> Beelzebub was the fly god of Ekron (referred to In II Kings 1:2, 3, 4 and 10).

Every person when he takes up his cards at a game of whist holds one out of 635,013,559,600 possible hands.

Mr. Babbage calculated that if-1,000,. 000 men were to be engaged dealing cards at the rate of one deal every minute, day and night, for 100,000,000 years, they would not have exhausted all the possible variations of the cards, but only one one hundred thousandth part of them.

This wild scheme he put into ex­ ecution, and soon the little New Eng­ land Tillage of bls birth knew him no more. Once really arrived at the metropo­ lis things began to happen. Oh reach­ ing the city by bort, the harbor scenes so interested him that be walked about the wharves for a time, forget­ ting everything save the fact that he was seeing the world. As he stood watching a steamer about to sal! for a southern port, a taxi drew near, and two men alighted. The younger man was white and thin as if from recent illness. As they stepped from the cab a mes­ senger boy met them. “Mr. West•ver?” he inquired. The elder man nodded, whereupon a letter was handed to him. He tore it open and scanned its contents. “Here’s a pretty go!” he exclaimed. "Simonds has met with an accident, and can't go with you." “Can’t go?* echoed the other. "Well, I’ll go without him, then." “1 don’t like you to go alone, Ralph, you’re not strong enough.” "Nonsense,” protested the young man. *Tm all right" Jotham drew nearer. "Was you— was you lookin’ for somebody to sort o’ look out for this young feller?" be inquired. Westover senior turned a searching glance upon the young stranger. “Are you going on this steamer?” be asked then. “I—rm thinkin’ of it" Five minutes later an agreement had been completed. Jotham was to ac­ company Ralph Westover In his search for health. On the day following their arrival In the strange southern city, the two men were out seeing the town. Suddenly they became aware of a commotion and then they saw a pair of horses at­ tached to a carriage tearing madly to­ ward them. Women screamed. Alone in the carriage was a young girl, grasp­ ing with all her might the seat and side ot the vehicle. Jotham looked, and before his companion guessed his intention, he had bounded into the street, and with an agile spring grasped the bridle of the near horse. It was at the risk of life and limb, or so it appeared to Westover. On the following morning a boy came to the hotel inquiring for *'Mastah Hubba’d.” ' Westover had told his companion's name to some of the spectators of the rescue of the previous day. The boy brought a note from Miss Carter beg­ ging him to call that she might thank him in person. Jotham groaned. “You go,” be en­ treated; “tell her you’re the man. She didn't see who *twas, 'tain’t likely.” "Not much," laughed Westover, "you don’t catch me strutting around in * borrowed heroism." A compromise was at length ranged, and Westover agreed to company and stand by his friend dur­ ing the dreadful ordeal. Miss Carter's home was a fine, old southern mansion, and the drawing room, into which the two young men were shown, seemed the acme of lux­ ury to at least one of them. A mo­ ment later Dorothy Carter appeared, a not unattractive girl, wearing a white gown. “Two?” she questioned doubtfully. •'Which one am I to thank?** Westover pushed the blushing Joth­ am forward and that young man man­ aged to take her proffered hand with the words, “I’m Joiham Hubbard, but you needn't thank me. That's all right’’ "Indeed, but I shall. Bring tho lights.” continued the girl, turning to a maid. “I want to see clearly my brave and handsome rescuer.” Jotham gasped. “Oh.” ho stam­ mered, "don't think that I ain’t han’Bom. I—1 expect I’m ’bout as home­ ly as they make ’em.” . “Then well speak of your bravery,” the girl returned. ’That Is not to be denied.” Miss Carter was deeply interested in hearing about life in the north, and It took a second, even a third call for Jotham to tell all she wished to hear. It seemed, indeed, that Jotham's bravery had quite blinded the girl to his physical defects, or, it may be that the proverbial blindness of love alone was enough. But the young man came, Extract from a letter written by Ralph Westover to hi* father: "Well. iwrt go wrong ji PROTECT YOU. Q. C. DEANE & CO ide wedding of Dorothy Cari d my esteemed friend.

JULIUS F. BEMENT . RULE WINS SCRAP BASKET Of Interest To Women. One of the regular Paris corres­ pondents cables: At the horse ra­ ces st Autell white was conspicuous in many dresses, A cheruit drees of white silk serge, designed by Pre­ met, showed flaring tunics and tightfitting bodices. All the wraps seen were made in cape style, some long and full and others reaching only to the waistline. French women show­ ed a predilection for dresses tn som­ ber hues, as black and navy in g£rbardlno and in taffeta. White serge dresses were also popular. A large number of English visitors wore bright and startling colors In foulard and Scotch plaid taffeta. Much of the millinery worn at the races was trimmed with flowers. London. May 36.—The borne rule for Ireland bill was passed in the house of commons on the third and final reading by a vote of 351 to 374. a government majority of ‘77. The bill becomes a law upon Its signature by King George. Home rule is now a fact There Is no doubt that royal assent will be given to the measure. In the regular course of events the home rule bill goes next to the house of lords, but the action of the peers will have no effect upon the measure. The pow­ ers of the upper house of parliament were destroyed by the act of parlia­ ment providing that any bill having been passed in three consecutive ses­ sions of commons becomes a law by royal assent. Personal Victory for Asquith. The passage of the home rule bill is a tremendous personal victory for Premier Herbert H. Asquith, who as pilot of the Liberal party, carried the measure to victory After many months of desperate parllalmentary struggle. The division was taken as soon as Premier Asquith had made his final statement, the Unionists refraining from debate In accordance with the Instructions from Law. In the ballot­ ing the followers of William O'Brien abstained from voting. In the vote by which the home rule bill was passed the government's ma­ jority was three less than that by which the measure was put through on second reading. The vote on the second reading, which was taken on the night of April 6. was as follows: For, 356; against. 276. Government majority, 80. Now that the home rule bill has been passed, public interest has shifted and concentrated on Ul­ ster province. Tho big question of the hour is: What will Ulster do now that the home rule bill has been en­ acted without guaranteeing the ex­ clusion of Ulster from its provisions? Civil War May Now Follow. If. Sir Edward Carson, CapL Johr Craig and other leaders of the anti home rule Orangemen put into exo cution the threats they have made and 1 reiterated during the past few months, civil war will follow In the North of! Ireland. Dispatches from Belfast, the seat of Unionist feeling in Ulster, stated that news of the passage of the home rule bill created tremendous excitement, and that the municipal authorities, fearing an outbreak, had taken vig­ orous precautions to maintain order with extra police aud with armed troops. If necessary. A feeling of anxiety pervades offi­ cial circles, And Premier Asquith, in his official capacity as secretary of state for war, has arranged a strong program of action in the event the Ulster volunteers take the aggressive. BUY A FARM AND Be a FARMER How many are there who began farming ten years ago and stuck to it that have not got a good start and paid for a good farm?

June is ths month when brides and grooms, fishermen, graduates, and chtggrea race for place in th* public’s attention—and the chiggre generally wins out. The fact that St usually costs five or ten dollars to see an otherwise sensible couple transformed into bride and groom detracts from these event* to a Con­ siderable extent; the elasticity of the fisherman's imagination works against his claim for attention, and the world has so often been conquer­ ed by new-born graduate* that its an­ nual repetition is losing interest. Bat the chiggre will be right on the Job throughout the summer, putting activity into lawn parties and caus­ ing embaraasment In a most shame­ less way. When a chiggre calls for one's attention, it must be given him, and the tact of ladies being present doesn’t alter his determination in the least. June also is the picnic month, when we take our families out into the woods and eat a scrambled meal that would cause divorce proceed­ ings If served at home.

The May meeting of the Assyria Farmers' club was held at the pleas­ ant home of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Shepard. Owing to the busy season the crowd was slow in gathering but about 100 sat down to dinner. President Hartom called the meet­ ing to order after dinner and the program was opened by two songs by the Young People's chorus which was greatly enjoyed. Devotional* were led by Mrs. I. W. Cargo, after which the Secretary's report was read and accepted. Mrs. I Iza Shep­ ard was named new member of the program committee and Mrs. Frank Wright new member of the refresh­ ment committee. Dick and Eva Kent then gave a pleasing Instrumental duet with vio­ lin and piano They were heartily applauded, but did not respond with a second number, as the young peo­ ple were preparing for a bail game. Esther Case gave a very pleasing recitation. Maynard Moore then gave his first recitation, which- was enjoyed by all. Solo, “In the Valley of the Moon”, was very prettily sang by Bernice Vedder. She favored the club with a second number. Mrs. Chas. Cox then gave an ap­ propriate Memorial recitation. As Mr. Gibson was not able to be present with hi* address, Lewis Nor­ ton was called upon and made a few general remark* in regard to grow­ ing old. County Treasurer Reams being called upon, followed with a few remarks along the same line, saying in part that a man is.no older than he feel*. He then introduced the subject of the new method of assessing which Is causing so much argument this year. This brought forth discussions from L. Norton, A. T. Shepard, Mrs. C. Cox and others. A. T. Shepard then brought for­ ward the Decoration Day thought and asked that while we decorate the graves of our departed soldiers, we lorget not the handful that are liv­ ing. This was followed by a few remarks by 1. W. Cargo.

This question is agitating the minds of the great majority at the present time. Those who are not in a position to know exactly the situation as it is are somehow of the opinion that a great commercial awakonlng will at once be manifest. Those in a position to know are of the contrary opinion. Gradual Increase of Trade. I have talked with harbor masters, sea captains, shippers and engineers and they are not looking tor a great upheaval in the paths of commerce. In time, yea. But not at once. The country will have to be developed first, And Rnes of trade opened up. South and Central America are as yet unacquainted with the United States. There are in these countries thousands and thousands of acres of undeveloped land which can be made to produce abundantly. All the way down the Pacific coast ex­ tends a vast resert, backed up and screened from the rainfall by the Andes mountains. This desert only lacks water to make it the richest producing ground in the world. The mountain streams at the back make possible all kinds of irrigating schemes.

Nashville took a lead of four runs in tbe early part of the game, then tbe Grand Rapids boys gradually forged ahead, until at the beginning of the last half of the ninth inning tbe score stood 9 to 7 in favor of the visitors. A gamer fin­ ish you ever saw Nashville had tied the score and had the winning run waiting at third for a slip or a hit to bring it across. One man was out. The batter missed his third strike,, but tbe catcher dropped the ball. He decided that the runner was. out anyway, under the rules, and the balance of his team stuck by him in the contention until a book of rules was secured and they could be convinced of tbeir error. On the first ball pitched to Jack Downing the runner on first stole second, but could not draw a throw. Then Jack pasted the next one past third so fast tnat the baseman couldn't get to it, and the game was over, Nashville winning by a score of 10 to 9. The game abounded in errors and there was a lot of backering over decisions, but on the whole the game was high­ ly interesting and well worth watch­ ing. NORTH KALAMO GRANGE.

PLINY McOMBER DEAD. Pliny McOmber, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of this community, passed away at his home on Queen street on Wednes­ day evening of last week, after an ill­ ness of several weeks, the cause of his death being old age. Mr. McOmber came to Maple Grove township when a young man, and lived the life of a typical pioneer, helping in his prime to clear up many acres of primeval forest. He was a fine example of sturdy manhood, and through all his life has been rec­ ognized as a man of high ideals, honesty and energetic accomplish­ ments. He passed away in the full­ ness of golden years, as the ripened grain is gathered by the reaper. His memory will live long with those who knew him best. The funeral was held at the Maple Grove M. E. church Saturday, and the remains were laid to rest in the Wilcox cemetery. A more complete obituary will be published In the next issue of The News. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.

In another column will be found the announcement of Charles Weissert jr. of Hastings for the nomina­ tion on the republican ticket for the office of representative in the state legislature. We have known Mr. Welssert for many years, and we should be glad to see him nominated and elected. He is a Barry county product, born and reared In Hastings. He is one of the brightest young newspaper men in the state, is well posted, has traveled extensively in this country and in Europe, is a keen observer, well educated, and above all else, is a young man of character and of unquestioned integrity. We believe Barry county would make no mistake if she sent Charles Welssert to •fill the place so ably filled for the past two terms by our fellow towns­ man, Henry C. Glasner. SENIORS HONORED AT RECEP• TION. The annual reception given by the Juniors in honor of the Senior class of the Nashville High School Tues­ day evening was a decided success. The decorations in red and green were wound about a huge white col­ umn in the center of the ball from which the high school colors of blue and yellow were draped to the var­ ious qorners of the room and an abundance of tall ferns made every­ thing look cool and inviting.. The members of the graduating class re­ ceived their friends and relatives amid a bank of ferns at the north end of the hall, after which punch was served to thp guests by four girls. Walrath’s orchestra furnish­ ed music for the evening. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A whole lot of excitement was kicked up in the eastern part of town Monday by the news that Mrs. Claude Mather had attempted to wing her flight from earthly cares via the( laudanum route. The woman had" become despondent over household worries or some other equally sensi­ ble sort of thing, and had swallowed an ounce of laudanum. When the effects of the drug commenced to show, however, the Rady’s determina­ tion weakened and She consented to have a physician summoned. Dr. Shilling was soon at the scene and pumped the sleep-maker from the woman's interior, and in a very abort time she was out of danger. . ODD FELLOWS MEMORIAL DAY.

Governor Ferris has issued a proc­ lamation naming next Sunday, June 14, as "Flag Day.” Now just how much attention are you going to pay to that? Last winter the writer made an exended .visit along the western coast of this magnificent country of ours. On every hand, in every part of that vast domain, the stars and stripes was in evidence on every day, not only on school houses, but on public and private buildings, hotels, banks, business places and homes. Many yards have .flag-staffs, from which the flag floats on every day.-In a recent trip through the East, the same state of affairs was noticeable. Very few towns does one pass through In New York or Pennsylvan­ ia but the glorious emblem of our country is seen floating to the breeze. And it looks good. , Are the people of Michigan any less patriotic than those of Cali­ fornia, Oregon, Washington, New York, Pennsylvania? Do we think less of The Flag? How many cit­ izens of Nashville or of Michigan but would be mad enough to fight in a minute if any man should insinuate such a thing. We love that starry flag, every one of us, and the country it represents. Then let us show it, if hot on every day, at least on a day dedicated to The Flag. Let us for once dress this little burg, of which we are all proud, up in its proudest array. Let the emblem of our country float to the breeze'from every home in the village. If you can’t af­ ford a big silk flag, fly a . five-cent printed one. It is the same flag, and the silk one is no prouder than the cheapest one. Honor and respect to the flag makes better citizens of every one of us and will help us to make the country which it repreeepts more worthy in every way of our love and patriotism. Until recently Americans did not arise and take off their hats when they heard the "Star Spangled Ban­ ner" played, but the custom has now become almost universal. Let us do what we want our enemies to do —salute the flag. Only let us do it because we love it and what it sig­ nifies. w.'h. m. s. The Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the M. E. church met at the home of Mrs. Frank Rarick, June 5, 1914, for the last meeting of the year, and the election of officers for the ensuing year. A good attend­ ance and very satisfactory reports of work done and financial standing prove the flourishing condition of the society, which is growing stead­ ily in numbers. The program, in charge of Miss Florence Grohe, was interesting and instructive, completing the study of "The New America" as it is being formed by immigrants.

Wai the shade-too-bright heliotrope suit "They just do as they please!" "Not that Lizzie is not a good daughter,” went on the middle aged woman. "It’s just that you can't tell about men. They can be the blind­ est, most exasperating, contrary crea­ tures!- As I was saying to my hus­ band., when he took Alfred Quam for a partner, who on earth would have dreamed that such a boyish, pleasant fellow could have such a will of his own and be ■©'absolutely deaf tc the call of what are really’ his own in­ terests? "He has money, you know, and ae his folks did not live here I made up mind that it was my duty tc be kind of motherly to him.” explained the middle aged woman. "I think there Is nothing so pathetic as a nice young man far from home and a prey to every designing creature who sets her eyes on him, especially when be is a good locking young man like Alfred." "I thought," said the other woman, "that he and Lizzie—" “I don't believe in trying to make matches." said the middle aged wom­ an, firmly. "I wouldn't dream of in­ terfering with fate! Lizzie may be 26, but she doesn't look it, and any one with taste would realize how good looking she is—in a quiet way, of course. I don't think ft Is refined to have the sort of looks that attract attention, Mrs. Garver, Indeed I don’t!” "The first night that I had Alfred Quam to -a good home-cooked dinner I let Lizzie stir up the French dress­ ing and stuff the baked potatoes and if I happened to mention that she got the dinner I can't see that there was any necessity of my explaining just what part of it she got. Alfred always was glad to get an invitation to dinner. Afterward I had Lizzie .show him her book.of photographs. There’s nothing like letting young people get acquainted. "Anyhow, Alfred Quam might have considered himself In luck to get a nice girl like my Lizzie—not but that she could have her pick of far better than he! There's no telling what a man will like—and to think that he should lose bls bead over that silly, giggling Georgie MacPrang, who grew so fond of Lizzie all of a sudden on the evenings she found that Alfred was coming! Lizzie is so unsus.picious. "When he got his runabout I men­ tioned that Lizzie was perfectly crazy over autos and that the fresh air was so good for her health. He took her out several times when I Invited him to come early for dinner, so they could get a ride afterward, but it wasn't a month before that Georgie MacPrang was driving the runabout with her own hands and smiling con­ descendingly when she passed our house! "You don’t know what I suffered at the hands of that Georgie MacPrang, Mrs. Garver! I’d ask Alfred out for a rice little family game of cards and he’d have an engagement and the next day Georgie would drop In and tell what a fine time she end Alfred had at the theater the night before! "He was perfectly nice to Lizzie and If she dropped into the coal of­ fice near closing time, as It was per­ fectly natural for her to do. since it was her father's office, Alfred would usually bring her home. 'Don’t push yourself,’ I told Lizzie. ‘Only don’t be backward about showing him that he's popular with you! That flatters a man—having him think you like him and are too modest to show It!” "Just as I had anrnged to have Al­ fred take his summer vacation at .the same time we did and be our guest at the cottage we were going to rent, in comes that Georgie MacPrang with a solitaire as big as a paving stone, all smiles and applied’ blushes and throws herself on Lizzie_'s neck and says she must tell her first, because it was through her that she and Al­ fred found each other. ■ "Isn't that enough to make a wom­ an give up in despair, Mrs. Garver? Not that I’d have dreamed of trying to force Alfred or Lizzie in each other's direction—not me—but being a junior partner and, of course, what's her father’s will be Lizzie's some day. and then Alfred would have had It all-—and his nice automobile and he is so good looking—and to think that silly Georgie MacPrang—" "Maybe something will happen,” said her friend, comforflngiy.

Failure of the rice crop and tho fishing industry have brought the dis­ tricts of Toboku and Hokkaido, north­ ern Japan, one of the worst famines that the country has faced In a hun­ dred years. Cold weather prevented the rice from heading out, and unusu­ ally cold currents have kept the fish at great distances from the shore. A conservative estimate places* the number who are now in urgent need of food at 200,000. Ruakln on Traveling. To any person who has all his senses about him,' a quiet walk, over not more than ten or twelve miles of road a day, is the most amusing of all trav­ eling; and all traveling becomes dull in exact proportion to its rapidity.

In her agitated condition, even Katb erine would have found it difficult to regain her composure sufficiently to meet these men. Ex-Governor Hibbard was in a par­ ticularly happy frame of mind.

Springfield, 111., Juns lb.—Tbs Illinois woman's suffrage act of 1818 is con­ stitutional in it* entirety. The stats supreme court, by a vote of 4 to 8, handed down the decision. Justice Frank W. Duan of Cbariew ton wrote the majority opinion, to which he was joined by Justice James H. Cartwright of Oregon, Justice Orrlu N. Carter of Chicago and Justice Alonzo K Vickers of East SL Louis. All are Republicans. Three separate dissenting opinions were filed by Justice George A. Cooke of Aledo, Justice Charlee C. Craig ot Oalesburg and Justice William M. Farmer of Vandalia. AU are Demo­ crats. The justices who dissented contend that the granting of women the right to vote Is in violation of the suite con­ stitution. The majority opinion, which be­ comes the decree of the court, bolds the Illinois legislature did not go be­ yond its constitutional powers in grant­ ing tne right to women to vote for all statutory officers, which Includes pres­ idential electors, as sst out In the 1912 act, and that the act In all of its de­ tails la "good.** By the terms of the decision the en­ tire act is held constitutional. Includ­ ing the right to vote at local option elections and on all "Uttle ballot” ques­ tions which are not specifically for­ bidden by the constitution. Right to Vote on Local Option. The majority decision bolds that women have the right to vote on local option questions. Inasmuch as such questions are not mentioned In the constitution. In other words, the court holds that on all questions and offices provided for by the legislature that the legislature baa the power and au­ thority to say who shall vote upon such questlona The court's decision came tn the Scown case. This suit, filed In the su­ perior court In Chicago by William J. Scown, as a taxpayer, demanded that the election commlssoiners of that city be forbidden to incur expense in pro­ viding facilities for women voting at the February primarless In 1914, on the ground that the woman suffrage act passed by the last 'eglslature was un­ constitutional and void. Chicago, June 15.—Amid tremendous rounds of applause and the singing ot “Illinois” and other patriotic songs, woman's suffrage was nearly unani­ mously indorsed by the twelfth bien­ nial convention of the General Federa­ tion of Women's clubs meeting In the Auditorium theater. When the result of the vote was announced by Presi­ dent Pennypacker, the entire aseemblage arose and gave a great about of toy; handkerchiefs were waved and the delegates spontaneously bunt forth singing “Glory, Glory Hallelujah.** The great celebration of the suffra­ gists took place Saturday night.

Although an application ot _ _ _ spray of lime-sulphur solution during the dormant period is considered even more effectual for controling the San Jose scale, one or more sprayings during the summer will often be found very helpful for holding it in check, and should not btr neglected In cases where the trees were not sprayed in the spring, or where the work was not thoroughly done. While a spray of the usual winter strength would injure the leaves and weaker applications would not des­ troy the adult scale, there is a period when the scale is in the larval form, and is crawling about the trees in the form of minute yellow lice, durwhich they can be destroyed with a spray one-third as strong as is used in the spring. The exact time var­ ies in different seasons and with the section of the state, being as early as July 1st in early seasons and in the southern part of the state: and about the middle of the month In late sea­ sons and in the central portions. In order to have this application do the most good, it should be made when most of the larvae have ap­ peared but before the scale-like cov­ ering has turned black. To deter­ mine the exact time, trees which have not been sprayed should be watched and the condition ot the At this time, — the scales noted. strength used should be about one part of the better commercial brands of lime-sulphur solution to twentyfive parts of water. If applied when conditions are favorable for its dry­ ing quickly, it can be useu with safety upon apples, pears and European plums, but if used upon.the peach and Japanese plums, care should be Uken to confine the spray as much as possible to the trunks and larger branches. A second application, when the second brood appears, which will be about the last of Au­ * gust, will also be helped.

Harding and A. C, * Good Condition. Washington June 16.—President Wilson nominated Charles S. Hamlin of Massachusetts, assistant secretary of the treasury, to be a member of. the federal reserve board for two years. Paul M. Warburg of New York for a term of four yejuw. Thomas D. Jones of Illinois for tejs <lx ym W. C. P. Hardin* of Alabama for a term of eight yean. A. C. Miller of Callforia. assistant secretary of the Interior, for a term of ten yean. The president also nominated John B. McGauren of Denver, Colo., to be surveyor general of Colorado. The declination of Simmons of St. Louis made way for Hamlin's appoint­ ment after he had been temporarily dropped from consideration. Many Months Making Selections. In making these selections. Presi­ dent Wilson finished a task which has taken months of consideration. He has striven to have the entire nation represented geographically. August 1 is the date agreed upon by administration officials for the in­ auguration of the federal reserve sys- The preliminary work leading up to actual launching of the system Is ex­ pected to be fully cleared up by that time. Comptroller of the Currency John Skelton Williams has announced by July 1 the balloting for directors of the reserve banks in classes A and B will have been completed. Condition of Banka Favorable. The condition of the banks in the wheat belt at the present time is looked upon by Secretary McAdoo and other financial officials as being favor­ able. The farmers in the wheat belt already are beginning to harvest a bumper crop, and although the de­ mands on the banks for money are great, they are being met with com­ parative ease. Thia lack of friction at the time when the greatest strain on the banks is felt is looked upon to be the direct effect of the passage of the new curBut should the strain on the banks In the wheat regions become too great to be met by the ordinary means, it is expected that the regional reserve oystem will be in full operation tn time to forestall any depression. Following thia first call upon the functions of the new system will come the big demand for the moving of the autumn crops. But by that time It Is expected that every cog in the new system will be working so smoothly that no obstacles will be encountered which cannot be overcome with alacrity. Name Governor Later. The selection of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago merely as one of the mem­ bars of the federal reserve board oomes somewhat an a surprise In view of the fact that II was confidently ex­ pected that Jones would bo named as governor of the board. President Wil­ son. however, has decided that he will Dot name the governor for some time former Princeton university trustee and s personal friend of the president REBELS LOSE 3,000 IN FIGHT Federate Put the Captured Leaders to Death at Zacatecas and Wound General Natera.

PHILADELPHIA. PA. THE HEN’S SOLILOQUY. Soliloquy of a dominecker hen: — I had a quarrel with Henry this ' morning. He was crowing as usual and pretending that the sun wouldn't come up unless he made that awful noise. 1 told him to shut up, I wanted to sleep. He asked me if I fully understood what I was saying. I told him I guessed I did, and that I understood several other things pretty weli, too. One was that I laid the eggs and hatched the chick­ ens, while •he gallvanted around over the barnyard and pretended like he wanted to fight something, and that 1 raised those chickens, while he was strutting around the ' last fall pullets. I told him that hereafter he’d have to sit on the eggs fully half the time and maybe more, and that he’d have to get out and scratch worms for the chickens rere_2.hatched. Then after they----when I got the chickens off my hands and began to feel giddy and young again, why I supposed they’d take him, cut his head off, and boil him in a pot, so I could have some peace. My, but maybe you don’t think Henry got mad. I thought once ■ he was going to knock me off the roost, but he didn’t. All day, though, he has been cross and surly, and when I come near, he struts around and crows, and acta like he's not paying any attention tn me.

In the month of January, nineteen three I started out, the world to see, 1 then enlisted Ln the U. S. N., Shipped as an apprentice, not classed as men, And sight seeing with me was all the rage. My starting place was Grand Rapids. Mich., And to be a sailor was my only wish. 1 was sent to the coast and this is why. There’s a training station at Newport, R. I. In the next October we took a train Which dropped us off at Kittery, Maine. On board the Monongahela we then went, (I with two hundred others that were sent), . We left this port on the fifth of December And that was a day I shall always remember. We then took a trip, it was just for training. And ail were happy, there was no complaining. Our first stop was St. Thomas, D. W. I., With its harbor surrounded by mountains high, We then took .a sal) to San Juan, P. R., We had sailed thus far without a mar;We were then sent in emp in the Navy Yard For diphtheria broke out and it hit us hard. It soon was over and we all went back To the good old ship that was painted black. I was sent to the Brooklyn, s*he carried the flag Of Admiral Chadwick, who would never brag. When ever he knew that a thing went wrong He would have it fixed with a cheer and song. Then down to Culebria, coaled and returned. The ways of a white ship we soon learned. The South Atlantic Fleet, or Squadron I mean Was the Brooklyn, Atlanta, Marietta, Castine. We left San Juan under a clear, blue sky And beaded across to Tennerlffe, C. I. We coaled and.sped on to the Mediterranean sea For trouble was there and peace it must be, At Tanglr, Morrocco, is where the trouble laid And there we remained until peace was made; We then crossed the Straits of Gibraltar, Spain; Now this large rock the British claim. Genoa, Italy, is where July 4th we spent Then back to Gibraltar again we went, Then to Los Palmas, Canary Islands, A very pretty place surrounded by highlands; Then on to Freetown, Sierra Leone Where lots of the black men make their home. At Manrovia, Liberia, we spent a few hours. Here’s one of the Negro's strongest powers; St. Paul de Loanda, Angola, was next After we had been visited by Neptune Rex; He rules the deep from shore to shore And we joined his kingdom for ever more. Cape Town, South Africa, was reached at last After many lonely days at sea were past; Cape Colony is all under British rule* And here many ships landed American mules And many were killed while fighting the Boer But it's all right now for the war is o'er. Next was St. Helena, a great lonely isle Which looks like rocks thrown up in a pile; The death place of the noted Bonaparte Who was exiled from his country1 and broken at heart.. Then on across to Santos. Brazil, Here some of the crew were taken 111. Montevideo, Uruguay we were next to see, Seventy-two hours was a liberty to me; Then on to Bahia. Blanco. Argentine Where some of their war ship could be seen; W’e spent a few days there in the dock For crossing the bar we received a shock. Target practice was held In Ilhe Grande Bay And all ships did wqll, I am glad to say. Rio de Janeiro, a place well known Was next on the list that we were chown; Bahia, Brazil, we next went to There they have fine fruit I tell you. Bananas, mangos, pineapples and such, I never knew I could eat so much. Then on to Trinidad, at Port of Spain, Here we were greeted with lots of rain. Culebria was next after a very short stop At St. Lucia, which is a very pretty spot. At Culebria we joined the battle-ship fleet Which were all freshly painted and looked very neat. To Guantanamo, Cuba, we all went in line And during the maneuvres we looked very tine; The Brooklyn received orders to get under way And go to New Orleans in the U. S. A. The^Carnlval was on and we paraded ashore, The crowd was well pleased and yelled for m>re. Pensacola, Florida was our next stopping place. After shooting and coaling we went on a chase To Port au Prince, Haiti, and we got rather sore For of going to New York we heard no more. To Monte Christo, Santo Domingo, we went on a \ run . For the natives were restless and were using the gun; To Sosua, Puerto Plata, and other small plac.3, We kept traveling around on several such chases; Santo Domingo City, Sanchez, and Samana Bay, We visited these ports about every other day. But good times for us kept drawing near ' And we headed for New York with many a cheer; After a very short stay In the navy yard then We started on a trip which is very rare; To Cherbourg, France, we went in glee For Paris the Capitol, we were going to see. We went for the body of John Paul Jones And returned to Annapolis with the honored bones'; After putting them ashore, went to Tompkins­ ville And sent to the hospital some men that were ill. Then from Camden, New Jersey, we took out a class To Swampscott, Marblehead, and Gloucester, From Boston, Massachusetts, we did the same, Visiting Marblehead, Gloucester, and Portland, Maine. Providencetown, Massachusetts, is the next to say And we did some shooting in Cape Cod Bay. To Brooklyn we went and stayed in the yard While the ship was painted and the rigging tarred. After Christmas we started across the sea And we struck a storm, a big one, believe me: A cyclone it was and It blew so hard It spoiled the rigging that had been tarred, Topmasts came down and boats carried away And it tore things up on that New Year's day/ At Gibraltar we coaled and then took a dance To Algiers, Algira and Villefranche, France, To Tangier, Genoa, and Naples too Just before Vesuvius went up the flue: To Piraeus, Greece .and then Beirut; Here the Turkish horn they toot. Then to Alenander, Egypt, a place near the Nile Where the Pyramids and Sphinx are worth one • while: At Messina, Sicilly, we made a short stop, Mt. Etna could be seen way up ofi top. She was smoking a little with a very faint roar And since then she’s rained that beautiful shore. We then steamed back to the coast of Spain For we had order* to go home again: Pont*. Delgada is a very pretty place And we went ashore, gave our deer a chase; Then back to the League Island navy yard And that is the last I’ve seen of my pard. The Marietta broke the pennant agaift And had on board ex-Brooklyn men: Then to Hampton Roads and Newport New*, Where we all had to buy some rubber shoes; We then went south to thaf troublesome isle Of Santo Domingo, and stayed there a while. Port Libertad, Cape Hation and Manzanillo Bay; Often visiting these places in just one day I’ve named nearly all of these places before. Barahoma, Axua, and Grand Turk's Isle, And in San Pedro de Marcoris we anchored awhile. . Then to Cienfuegos, Cuba, we set a great paca For trouble was brewing about that place. Now this was business instead of fun And we were sent ashore with shell and gun. To Palmira we went on an armored train And the rebels were stopped from burning the For our relief, marines were sent And back to the ship again we went. Into Santiago de Cuba, we took a trip And saw where the Spanish lost every ship. Then to Central America we actually flew And here we were soldiers Instead of a crew. We were in the interior a month and a'half. Those Hundurians would make you laugh: Bluefielde, Nicaragua, and Graytown too , And in Port Limon bananas we'd chew; Great Corn Island is where we would fish For a better place than this no-one could wish. Truxillo, Celbe, and Puerto Cortex Are all about alike, including Sanchez: The Dubuque and Paducah relieved us from her* And we headed for home with a hearty cheer. For Portsmouth we were bound and Ln God we would trust And all you could hear wa* “Portsmouth or bust”. After four months there we got under way And anchored again in Boston Bay. 1 was then transferred io Newport. R. I. A*.d there I settled without a sigh. I wa* discharged and then shipped over And still the navy is not all clover. I shook from my feet the eastern sands And headed for those western lands, I landed in Portland on a Saturday morn, About the happiest day since I was born For there I finished my railroad trips And would soon be back on the good old ship*. On April the eighth 1 reported in And the schemes I worked, it was a sin, 1 stayed at Bremerton as long as could be But along in the fall I was sent to sea. Late in October I left the Sound And again started out to roam around. The Charleston took me out- to Cavite, P. I., Stopping at Honolulu and Guam on the fly. Transfers were made. Chattanooga for mine. Not a very large ship but she was fine. Olongapo, Manila. Iloilo, Parang, Zamboanga and Jolo are where the bolos claag. We were in Sandankan, North Borneo, as well Hong Kong and Shanghai, the places are swell: Yokohama. Vladivostok, and Hakodate, too Oh this was the old world I tell you; Into Nimrod Sound we went in a fog And didn't bit anything, not even a log. Gensan, Korea, is a very small place But a bunch went ashore to show their face; Woosung, Wei-hal-wei, Dalny, Tsingtau, Nankin. Klukiang, Chefoo, and Hankow. Are all on the list of places I've been, When 1 think of them now I have to grin. Port Arthur is a name that's been on every lip. And up to this place quite a bunch took a trip, From Chin-wang-tau we went to Pekin Where Uncle Sam's troops were the first getting in: We then returned south to Manila Bay And stayed about there for many a day. Now sickness will come, can't always tell how And I was sent to hospital at Canacao: 1 was there two months and a few days morefr Came away feeling fine, seemed good to be ashore. tVe went to Amoy and then Hiutan Bay, The last place was lonesome is all I can say. We then took the Samar on an eight Inch line. And towed her to Woosung, she came along fine. Long pennants were broke, two ships homeward bound, The Cleveland for ’Frisco, Chattanooga the Sound. We .stopped at Cavite, left the 30th of May, And it will always be to me a Memorial Day. We were steaming along as nice as could be Little thinking that we would be crippled at sea. Four hundred miles more, then Honolulu so fine. But the Cleveland, she had to give us a line, Port propeller was gone, the shaft had broke And with the starboard once cracked it wa* no joke. We expected to be home for the fourth ot July But we had to keep quiet and smother a sigh. In Honolulu we remained for a month or mor* And took in the sights along Hawaii's shore. The Prometheus came out and her engines went wrong And the time for repairs was about two weeks long. She towed us to the Navy Yard on Puget Sound And this spread happiness all around; The fogs were heavy off Cape Flattery light And we anchored in Port Townsend over night. We reached the yard next day about noon And we knew that our transfers were coming After the pennant came down, she had made her cruise; * She went out of commission and the crew worked hard After which I was stationed in the Navy Yard. I got the job as Captain of the Yard’s clerk. An awful nice job and a good place to work. I've been here since August, nineteen ten.

Rob," Mary sighed, as she recounted the curious visits of her old friends, who had inquired anxiously and re­ peatedly for Mr. Slade, how he was getting on, and when he would be down, and a dozen other questions in the phraseology of people who, as old friends, take the liberty of coming as near as possible to demanding that you unburden your soul to them on the spot, "You’ll kind of have to dodge ’em.

In Mr. Arnold Haultain's new bl<wraphy of Goldwin Smith there Is a fu*ny story of the late duke of Cam­ bridge. It is pretty well known that in his old age his royal highness de­ veloped a habit of thinking aloud that was sometimes rather awkward for those near him. He was particularly inclined to this when in church, anA it was quite a common thing to hear a gruff, loud comment issue from his pew when everybody else was silent. On one occasion he was present at tho marriage of some princess or other to an Inpecunlous German prince cC whom the duke apparently did not ap­ prove. The ceremony was proceeding smoothly, and the bridegroom repeat­ ed the words: "With all my worldly goods I thee endow.” Suddenly tho duke rapped out: “Rubbish!

Queen Poor Conversationalist. Queen Mary is a poor conversation­ alist. On some one being brought up to her it Is said she will begin to talk with remarkable felicity, sealing tea other at ease and delighting him? Then, all of a sudden, she suddenly ceases, an acute silence supervenes and the other does not know whether to break tbe pause or slip away. Tho fact is the queen talks well by dint of concentration; this does not always last until tho end of the conversation, and once the thread is broken she grows abstracted, thinking of some* Uiing else. .W1 .. ■• • .y Children’s Lives Saved by Chance.

A good driver, but with a keen desire to know just how fast the darned machine is capable of go­ ing. • ■ Ralph works at Hurd's garage, and Friday evening he and Herbie Wai rath were out In Joe s demonstra­ tor, having a bit of a Joy ride. Inci­ dentally, of course, they wanted to know how much actual speed there Is in it, and they were cutting it loose on their way south, along the road through Maple Grove Center, When they rounded a little curve, about half a mile north of the Center, the car swerved from the road, struck a little pile of new mown hay, skidded a rod or two, and finally wound up bottom side up, crosswise of the highway. Herbie was thrown clear of the machine, and was but slightly Injured, but Olin was pinned under the car. behind the steering wheel. Walrath finally lifted the machine off Olin's neck, allowing him to crawl out, and they took an inventory. Olin had about half a pound of meat torn out of one leg. and was somewhat bruised otherwise, while Herbie had a sprained ankle and a few minor bruises. They se­ cured help to right the machine and drove back to town and Dr. Morris fix­ ed them up, bu< Ralph is still using crutches and Is taking a vacation. The car was but slightly damaged. Mighty lucky boys to escape so easily, and still more lucky If they will but learn their lesson from this one accident and learn to drive more carefully in the future.

Usually each one of them has to have his own experience before recovering from the speed mania. million dollars, and we presume it is. We think they have some pieces of property assessed for more than they would sell for. but on xhe other hand, we will venture to say that some ofr the foxy ones have still some propertywhich the commission has been un­• able to uncover, so that the assess­■ ment is perhaps as nearly correct as1 it is possible for an assessment to be1 until all men tell the truth, which is likely to be some time lu the long-1 ' deferred future.

"Sure, Mrs. Flaherty, there be a child crying in die basement You can hear It if yes listen when you be pass­ ing," said Mrs. Grady to little Mrs. Flaherty, the carpenter's wife. The two women were residents tn the same tenement bouse in the city. It was not a squalid part, though the congestion made it an unhealthy one. It was clean enough, and Mrs. Fla­ herty’s deft fingers kept the interior of her four rooms almost spotless. But Michael had been out of work for six weeks, owing to the business de­ pression. and cleanliness was about all that Nora Flaherty could manage. Bhe could not provide more food for the four hungry little mouths. Day by day Michael tramped the streets In search of work. And every evening the bread and milk somehow seemed to go less far. The children were growing thin. Bridget, the old­ est, was five, and the rest followed at regular gradations down to PhU, the baby of ten mont’:». "if it wasn't for trio children, Nora." Michael would say wistfully, “ydu and me could start out on the tramp and do chores In the country." That had always been their longing —a country home. But It seemed more remote than ever, now that there were six mouths to feed. Nora Flaherty listened as she stood at the entrance to the tenement house. Sure enough, she heard the pitiful cry of the child. She had seen him once— a thin little boy of six or seven years. The father was a Pole. He drank away his money every Saturday night, and returned home mad with liquor. Then he would beat the little boy, who lay neglected all day in the dark cellar-like place. She heard him cry, and the mother instinct overflowed in her. Softly she crept down to the basement It was quite dark, except for the faint illu­ mination from a small, dirty window Deed.

NORATHEKIDNAPER "Mrs. Flaherty!” she gasped, "the man has come from the society, and what do yes think? One ot that Polack’s friends has been and taken the child away." Nora Flaherty looked at her friend with a stare of misunOerotanding. "The man from the society is ask­ ing if anybody’s seen the child,” con­ tinued Mrs. Grady. "Yes didn’t hap­ pen to see him, did yes, Nora?” "No,” answered Nora Flaherty in a mechanical manner. ”No; 1 didn't” But after her visitor bad gone away she sat beside the bed in fear and trembling every time a footstep sounded outside the door. And there was another reason for her dread. It had been an impulse to take the lad, an impulse which she had not followed to its logical conclusion. Perhaps she had merely wanted to give him some bread and mlfk and to show him a little of that mother love that he had never known. But now—what would Michael say? He loved his children and be had always been kind to her, but—well, another mouth to feed meant a dread­ ful tax upon their scanty means. And he was out of work, might be for weeks to come, although be had re­ ceived a half-promise ot something In the near future. She sat there in an agony of sus­ pense until she beard her husband’s tread along the ball outside. In an­ other moment he was in the little ten­ ement, and, as she went out to meet him, he clasped her In his arms and kissed her. She looked st him with pride. What a good husband she had! He never drank or beat her, even if he was a little petulant at times. And be had been so patient all through that dreary time. "Nora, girl," he exclaimed, "I've got a job and I go to work the day after tomorrow. And it’s In the country, lass! It's In the new Richardson plant, twenty miles away-7-a steady job, my girl, and all expenses paid. Sat Beside the Bed In Fear and Trem­ bling. near the celling. She turned the handle. Tho door yielded. Upon the floor, crouched on a pile of rags, the little boy lay. He was thin and ema­ ciated. and bo stared at her In terror, like a little wild animal. The good woman's indignation brought a storm of angry words to her llpe. The child, thinking they were meant for him, began to whimper again. Nora hurried upstairs and stood looking at the remnants of the loaf of bread and the thin milk In the pitcher. There was just enough for that night. Perhaps it would go round —if IL one UUH of VI them IUVIU did UIU not UUl eat VML And AUU Nora’s appetite was not very large Just now. With a half-guilty manner she cut a thick slice of bread, poured out a cup­ ful of milk, and carried the food down to the boy In the basement When she saw him fall upon the food ravenously the tears streamed down her cheeks. That afternoon Mrs. Grady came to the door of her tenement “It's all right Mrs. Flaherty,” she said. "Somebody's written to the Chil­ dren's society, and they're going to take the child away. The man's been thim Poles whin he was drunk. ‘The society will be here in the evening.” Nora’s heart misgave her. Some­ how the thought of the little, dark­ eyed boy growing up inside the shadow of the society's big, barrack­ like building was dreadful to contem­ plate. She thought of her own babies, and she sat in her chair, a picture of helpless woe. Suddenly a burning thought came to her that made her sit up and stare wildly about her. Why notT Why not? In another minute she had crept down to the b«sement again to where the boy was lying. At the sight of her he sat up and stretched out his thin little hands. She lifted him in her arms arid hid him beneath her shawl. How pitifully light he was! I.'e did not understand her words of motheniy kindness, but the tone is the same in all languages. He snuggled down in her arms, and a couple of minutes later he was resting upon her own bed, while the tour chil­ dren stood around, staring at the little stranger.

"1 mustn't trouble you any longer.” “You're no trouble at all," said Mary, detaining her. "It's the doubt that troubles me. Miss Strickland, I know perfectly- well you must have heard people talking. The words I want are in your mouth. Come, now, honestly tell me,” she coaxed, “who Is the hussy?" "Mrs. Slade,” exclaimed Katherine, haughtily, unconsciously drawing her­ self up. ”1 ought not to have used that word, I know," Mary drew a long breath, "but I—you can't blame me. Why, do you know what it would mean? ft would mean two Mrs. Slades here In this town or — or — anywhere he's known. Two Mrs. Sladee after all these long, respectable years! Why. it Isn't human!" and she held up two accusing fingers. "Ob, no! Every one would be askin': ‘Which Mrs. Slade Is that—the old one or the new one be got?' He'd be out with Mrs. Slade No. 2, while Mrs. Slade No. 1 was home breaking her heart. Well, they don't catch me like that! Not much!

"It will remind her of something abe hasn't got—his youth! His youth! His youth!

Tell her sbe can keep it" And she forced the brooch into Katherine's reluctant fin­ gers. "She can see what she’s missed! Well, I'm done with it—and with both of them. There!" and weak from her frenzied outburst, she sank into a chair. There was intense silence for a moment. Katherine stood as if pet­ rified. Mary sat with brooding eyes, thinking. She was the first to speak, trying bard to be brave. "Well, there's one comfort. It ain’t as though 1 had any children. Wbo’d ever have thought we would have come to this—here in this bouse.

You fight—fight them—all." and she loosened her arms and sank ' sobbing and heartbroken, into a chair, throwing her head on her outstretched arms In a perfect aban­ don of repentance and grief. For a few moments the two worn*, sobbed brokenly. Mary was the first to recover. “There, there,” she cried, patting Katherine tenderly on the ahouldex, "don’t you cry for me." Suddenly Hayes appeared in the door­ way. He looked first at Mary, then at Katherine. Katherine, her flics still buried, her sobs still uncontrolled, bad not beard him open the door. Ono sight of the two women was enough to convince him that in the encounter the stronger had been defeated and that the gentle little woman whom he loved had come off the victor. Mary stood looking from Hayes to Katherine in bewildered perplexity. Suddenly her eyes lighted with a thought Sbe began to read her s>swer In Bob’s eyes, but he turned to avoid her glance. Sbe looked again at the sobbing girl and as she did so the conviction came to her that Katherine was the woman her hus­ band was planning to marry. She opened her mouth as if to speak, and turned questloningly again to Bob. But Hayes could- not meet her eyes. Suddenly Mery pointed an ac­ cusing finger at Katherine’s bowed head.’ "She! Oh-h!" she gasped. Katherine, unconscious of the reve­ lation that had just taken place, was still sobbing bitterly, but with sweet­ er tears than she had shed for many, many years. The sight of the girl's misery called for all the treasures of love and sympathy In Mary's nature, sweetened by long years of forgiving and self-sacrifice. “There, there, there,” she crooned, as she patted Katherine’s head. Over­ come with an emotion she could not control. Katherine clasped her arms about her comforter and wept softly and quietly on her breast Bob, too surprised to believe his own eyes, came up to her. "Katherine!" ■tie exclaimed. "Oh, Bob. I'm so ashamed.” Kath­ erine confessed as she got to her feet and stumbled Into his arms, crying out for forgiveness and the love shehad so cruelly and so thoughtlessly flung aside.

The twist­ er dropped down first at Hastings, but only did a small amount of dam­ age. the worst being in the vicinity of the fair ground. The next place it came low enough to do damage was about two miles west of Char­ lotte, where a few trees were blown down. Again at Bennett park, in the south part of Charlotte, limbs were twisted off trees and other slight damage done, About six miles east of Charlotte the twister . __ struck full force, sweeping down houses and barns, tearing orchards and shade trees out by the roots or twisting them op, and.leaving des­ olation in its path. Ernest Hecox, formerly of Nashville, has a fine place about where the tornado des­ cended here. His windmill, which stood between the house and barn, was destroyed, the steel derrick be­ ing twisted and broken as though made of straw. Great shade trees were blown down, one slightly dam­ aging the house In its fall, the other just missing the structure. A chimney was taken off the house and the barn was somewhat twisted, but Mr. Hecox got off very easily, bls neighbors all suffering heavy damage. About a dozen barns and several houses in the neighborhood were wrecked. .Then the storm lifted and the next time it swooped down was just north of Eaton Rap­ ids, where a large section of coun­ try was swept. houses, barns, school houses, orchards and shade trees were destroyed. The village of Petrieville was entirely obliterat­ ed. every building In the place being swept away. The storm dropped again In the vicinity of Unadilla, In Livingston county, doing considera­ ble damage at Gregory and Stock­ bridge. In the vicinity of Chelsea the cyclone again lifted, and disap­ peared. E. w. Scott of this village, who works two miles east of Chelsea, saw It raise and apparently collide with another storm above Ann Ar­ bor. Which undoubtedly broke its force and helped to dissolve It. The News man visited the vicinity between Eaton Rapids and Charlotte where he saw the terrible effects of the storm. Many curious freaks were noticeable, among them a house with a porch and a bay win­ dow swept away, the rest of the house not being much damaged. Another house with every door and window tom out. An old granary, set up on posts, left standing, while solid structures and big trees on ev­ ery aide of it were totally destroyed. A row of maple shade trees on one side of the road untouched, while those on the other side of the road were twisted off like toothpicks. The damage done by the storm will reach many thousands of dol­ lars, and many people were injured, some of them severely, yet but one life was lost, which seems almost miraculous. Clarence Shuster, of Carmel, was killed during the storm. It Is thought by lightning, and Mrs. William Ford, Mr. and Mrs. George Springer. Ellis and Ernest Fulton, Vera Wing, and several others resid­ ing north of Eaton Rapids are suf­ fering from severe injuries. effectual quietus to such a condition and would make the park absolutely safe tor -respectable people to pass at night, and the expense would not be one tenth that required for effectual lighting of the park. But of the physical conditions referred to in our article of last week we have no sort of doubt. Our olfactory nerves leaves no question as to existing con­ ditions. Many people And it Im­ possible to sit outside oa their ver­ andas qr lawns In the evening, and there are places in town where the offensive odors make life even in­ side the houses almost unendurable on- account of the stench drifting in through open windows. This Is a condition which should not be tol­ erated for a single week at any time and especially through the hot sum­ mer months. POSTOFFICE CHANGES HANDS. Henry C. Glasner, P.

HARRY HAH* HL UW15 DECLARED AFTER DOUBLE MURDER The streets were lined with troops for the return trip to the railway sta­ tion. but despite these precautions the death plot was carried to a successful conclusion. Just as the motor car was passing the corner of Rudolph street, a young man who wore no hat, stepped out of the fringe of spectators at a point where the military guard was weak­ est and fired two shots from a maga­ zine pistol. At the first shot the archduke lurched forward, the blood spurting from his mouth. His wife threw her arms about him and as she did so, a bullet struck her in the body and both rolled to the floor of the au­ tomobile with their arms clasped about each other.

June 30.—The fear that (he spread of disaffection among the Mexican federal troops might result in an uprising in Mexico City caused the British residents there to hold a meet­ ing to arrange final plans for the de­ fense of the concentration district. British refugees who arrived her* and who had attended the meeting said the general opinion expressed there was that Provisional President Huer­ ta’s hold on the situation in the capital was wavering, and many pre.dlcted an uprising or a revolt of the federal array within a week or ten days. Some of the refugees declared the federal defeat at Zacatecas to be par tially due to the revolt of 5.000 federal soldiers under command of Gen. Me­ dina Barron. These men are said* to have tired on their own comrades The British residents of the capital believe General Huerta is making des perate efforts tn retain control of the capital and the other territory still In his hands until after the election of July 5. They say the arrangements for the election are being feverishly hastened in the towns under federal control and they believe Huerta is struggling to hold out against bls enemies until enough returns shall have been re­ ceived for some one to be declared elected and quickly installed In office, when Huerta will promptly surrender power and responsibility.

Sleet and snow swept and eddied tn blustering gales at every street cor­ ner. Taxicabs and motors plowed their way along, their occupants bun­ dled up to their eyes In wraps and furs.

Doctor Alley traces the cause of the decimation to the change in the mode of living of the Indians from the open-air life of the plains to the sedentary, settled life of the reservation. Reminder of War of 1812. One hundred years ago a British squadron, carrying 3,000 men. began an attack ou Oswego, N. Y., by land and water. The town was defended by about three hundred men, under Captain Mitchell, and a small flotilla, under Captain Woolsey. They defend­ ed the place for two days, when they were compelled to yield to superior force. The British loss was 235 men killed and wounded. The Americans lost 60. The object of the British in this expedition was to capture or de­ stroy a large quantity of stores and ammunition at Oswego Falls, but the determined resistance they met caused them to abandon the project. Tbe fort at Oswego was one of tbe oldest on the Great Lakes, having been built by the English long before the French and Indian war.

"If this is a sample of your eastern weather I’D stick to my job with Governor Slade and you can keep your job with Governor Sulzer." "Why didn't you go into the hall and listen to your boss talk?" asked his companion. "Say, did you ever hear the same speech over and over?

This is due to the Initiative of the Netherlands Trading company, which has on Its own account secured an engineer from eno of the largest plow factories in Europe, with a view to his studying the conditions In Java, and has also put a steam plow to work on one of its estates. Further, "De Vol­ Larding" manufactory of Surabaya has asked the sugar syndicate in Java to grant a subsidy of 18,040 for an experi­ ment with a trench digging machine to be made by them specially for use In the Island. - London’s Old Rights Retained. London still retains its picturesque ancient rights and privileges, and as an Instance it may be mentioned that whenever tbe ruling monarch pays a formal, or state, visit to the fifty It is customary for the lord mayor and sheriffs to meet the sovereign at the boundary of the ancient city, where be will enter. A sword is extended to the king (implying that permission to enter Is given), who touches It and re­ turns ft to the mayor. By ancient right, upon the decease of the sover­ eign and until the proclamation of the new monarch, tbe lord mayor is nom­ inal bead of the state, with full au­ thority and powers. Alaskan Timber Sold. Arrangements have just been made tor the sale of 40.000,000 feet of tim­ ber on the Tongass national forest tn Alaska. This forest is cut up by bays and inlets, some of which give an opportunity for taking the timber from the mill to the decks of ocean­ going steamers. The Tongass forest Is now self-supporting.

Incidentally, he fa a big. strong, red corpuscled statesman who strikes body blows in politics and cuts a considerable figure In the House. He fa a member of the Interstate Commerce Committee and was ac­ tive in the work of that body when it framed the interstate trade com­ mission and railroad capfallzation bills, a Republican, however, who looked at those measures from the standpoint of the grand old party, as the folks say on the hustings. Hamilton has made notable speech­ es un the tariff, and, in an impres­ sive moment, castigated President Wilson for what he charged was the withholding of patronage while the tariff debate was on In Congress. His speeches bristle with philosophy, his remarks are symposiums of epigrams and they always command close at­ tention in a body that usually pays scant attention to zpeeehmaklng.— Democrat Chronicle, Rochester,.N.

On account of the busy season and the rain of the forenoon not so many were present as usual, although a goodly number sat down to-the bounteous dinner. President Hartom called the meet­ ing to order, and the club sang "America." Chaplain Mrs. Cargo conducted the devotionals. No secretary’s report was read as our secretary was not able to be present. Mrs. Llzxie Tasker was named the new member of the program commit­ tee and Mrs. Hattie Tuckerman of the refreshment committee. Mrs. Albert Miller then gave a pleasing recitation, "St. Peter at the Gate.” Little Miss Velina Mulvan­ ey In her sweet voice sang a very pretty solo, accompanied by Lyle Tasker at the organ. We were fortunate at this meeting in having with us Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Charles jr. of the Bellevue Gazette, and Mr. Charles gave us a fine talk on. the worth of the Associated Press. Mr. Charles' experience with the As­ sociated Press made it possible for him to give a very interesting talk. We then listened to a recitation by Florence Fruin, and also one by Hol­ lis Fruin, which were fine. Mrs. Charles then read a paper entitled "Literature as an Element in Re­ form," which was certainly fine. As some of the people on the pro­ gram were unable to be present, President Hartom called for volun­ teers to furnish something. Editor Charles responded with a fine solo, which was greatly appreciated. Mrs. Albert Miller gave a fine recitation. Ethel Stumpf gave a recitation tn German, which was then repeated by Mrs. Charles in English. The club then sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." and ad­ journed to meet In July with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Shepard. , EVANGELICAL CHURCH NOTES.

Nash villa Chautauqua Augu*t 27- What both, Chief of Police Rhoades and the police matron deciare to have been a perfectly Innocent, girl­ ish escapade, having its beginning three weeks ago when the two girls ran away from home to join the boys in Chicago, came to a sudden and sordid end about two o'clock - this morning when police officers arrested Hilda Coolbaugh, Bernice Miller, Harold Messimer and Byron Swarts, all of Nashville, Mich., and had them locked up at police headquarters. The two couples were found wan­ dering aimlessly about the streets without money and with nowhere ..to lay their heads. All four of them are very young, the Swartz boy being but 21, while young Messimer Is ‘wo years younger. Hilda Coolbaugh is eighteen and the other girl but 17, and both are pretty, well dressed and cool and self-possessed to the point of hardihood. . When booked at headquarters they gave fictitious names, two of them claiming to be Mr. and Mrs. Greenfield under which names Swarts and Miss Coolbaugh have <been stopping at different hotels here 'and in other pfaces, while the other pair have registered as Mr. and Mrs. Rivers. , When confronted with the Chief this morning the girls told a far dif­ ferent story from that they had un­ folded to the officers last night. They said that Swartz and Messimer had sold a horse and buggy and convertej other effects into money as a prelim­ inary to the elopement. Then the boys went to Chicago and from there sent the girls 15 to join them. The girls joined them in Chicago the next day and they stopped at the Ho­ tel Marco on Dearborn street regis­ tering as above described. They then went to Morris, Ill., where they put up at the Hotel Commercial and then to Ottawa, where they were guests at the Ottawa hotel for two weeks. On Saturday night they were joined by their male companions but the boys were broke and after spend­ ing one night at the Endres tbe four found themselves obliged to walk the streets for lack of shelter. The Miller <irl is the daughter of Dr. B. E. Miller, a veterinary surg­ eon of Nashville, to whom the chief of police wired at noon stating the fact that the two couples were under arrest here. In spite of the ugly look of their jaunt in company with Swartz and Messimer the girls Insist that they have not occupied the same room wih the boys and that the adventure is nothing more serious, than a lark. That they got away with the state­ ment so far as the police officials are concerned is owing doubtless to the fact that they are pretty and clever enough to tell the same story. The Coolbaugh girl, who is the prettier of the two, was inclined to be scorn­ ful and even a bit sulky at times. When the chief asked her If she had a brother old enough to lick the boy that had lured her away from home she shrugged a pair of graceful shoulders while her handsome eyes lighted to dark blue flames. "Fresh’’, she said in an audible tone aside to her girl companion, who tittered sympathetically. — The Peoria (Illinois) Star. THE LAPSE OF ENOCH WENT­ WORTH.

DOWNING The Independent Lumber Dealer Isabel Gordon Curtis, author of "The Lapse of Enoch Wentworth,” Is one of the best-known literary women of America and for years her name htj been familiar to readers of household and farm periodicals and of fic­ tion. She was born fifty years ago in Huntley. Aberdeenshire. Scotland, and after receiving an academic education In that country, came to the United States in 1886. For several years she did general literary work, and then she was successively literary editor of the New England Homestead and Form and Home, dramatic editor of the Springfield Homestead, associated with her husband. Francis Curtis, as editor of the Blnghampton Chronicle; associate editor of Good Housekeeping, and editor of the woman's department of Success Magazine. In addition to all these activities, she has found time since 1903 to do a great deal of general magazine work and juvenile story writing, and In recent years has written several novels that proved highly succaeeful and popular. Some of these deal with official and social life In Washington, with which Mrs. Curtis is thoroughly familiar and which she portrays with vivid reality The greatest work Mrs. Curtis has produced. ’’The Lapse of Enoch Went­ worth.’’ is a story of the New York stage and New York newspaper life. It Is a story with a high moral purpose, and one which holds the interest of the reader to the end. The reviewers generally have pronounced it ooe of tbe greatest of American novels. It Is with considerable pleasure that we are able to announce that we have arranged for the serial publication rights on this story, the first install­ ment of which will appear soon.

The difference between the man’s method and the woman’s method of striking a match, writes a correspond­ ent of the London Chronicle, seems fairly simple of explanation. I fancy । tobacco is at tbe bottom of IL Up to 1 comparatively recently, women struck matches to light fires or candles or i gas, and naturally struck away from them. Men, having acquired the to­ bacco habit, naturally struck towards them, both for tbe sake of conve­ nience and sheltering the flame in the • hand from wind. You will notice that a good many women wbo smoke have now adopted the man's method ot striking. I don’t thfhk the psychology of the matter goes any deeper than this, unless you are disposed to ac­ cept a Victorian definition of woman as "a creature who can’t argue and pokes the fire from the top.” Queer Bequest.

The income consists of rent derived from a certain piece of land. In Tudor times, when the bequest was made, the land was probably worth 310 a year, anh the scattering of 310 worth of breed and cheese was not an extrava­ gant charity.

Rouse and Eot Seven-Story Tenement In New York by Police. New York, July 6.—By the premeture explosion of a powerful dynamite bomb intended for blowing up John DRockefeller’s Tarrytown home four anarchists, three of them members of the Industrial Workers of the World, were instantly killed. The explosion happened tn the up­ per story of a new seven-story model tenement at 1626 Lexington avenue. A large part of the building was wrecked, a score of its residents se­ riously Injured and much property damage done in a wide radius. Those killed by the explosion are: Arthur Caron, notorious anarchist agitator and member of the I. W. W. Carl Hanson, member of the L W. W. and bitter anarchist Charles Berg, member of the IW. W.

Both men were fairly prosperous farmers in the wheat region of tbe Dakotas. Both were about the same age—thirty; they had arrived almost at the same time, five years before, and had taken up adjacent acres. And both were on the way to success. The friendship that had sprung up between them was a matter of neigh­ borhood comment They went gun­ ning together and lent each other a band whenever it was required. They were both bachelors, and usually spent their evenings together, talking-over the affairs of their limited world and smoking a couple of friendly pipes un­ til bed time. Then the visitor would mount his horse and ride homeward. Mills flung himself down upon bls bed in deep disgust. He took a copy of the "Matrimonial Register,’’ which be had secreted under his mattress, and looked through iL. One paragraph especially caught his eye: . "I want to be married as soon as possible. ’ My name is Estelle Read, residence Baltimore, age twenty-four. I am a brunette, tell and considered good looking.

"Thought he'd steal a march on me, didn’t he? But here’s where he plays second fiddle!” From the same hiding place he ex­ tracted a letter, written in a flowing feminine hand and headed Baltimore. It ran as follows: "Dear Friend: From what you have written to me 1 fancy you are Just the gentleman who would make me a good husband. Especially am 1 fascinated by your charming description of coun­ try life. I enclose you my photo­ graph as you request. Now, friend, there is one little particular that must be said, though it goes to my heart to eay it. I am all alone In the world and working for my daily, bread. My guardian does not want me to get . married and be .will not advance me any of my money. I shall have to ask you to .remit me 1100 for my ex­ penses and >100 more if you wish me to arrive with a trousseau. "Yours lovingly, "ESTELLE.'* The photograph was of a tall and statuesque brunette, and though he had gazed ardently upon it several' times, Henry Mills did not hesitate to give another sentimental stare into the limpid features. From the moment his epistolary courtship began Mills had felt a wan­ ing of his old time affection toward his neighbor. He began to look ask­ ance at him for his rough ways. Bates was all very well to spend a social evening with, but how could one In­ vite him to his house to meet a hand­ some, stylish brunette wife, with his penchant for putting his feet on the table, not to mention certain habits In regard to his pipe which were not in tone with the demands of eti­ quette? And Bates was apt to be a coarse at times in his speech. No. decidedly it was necessary to keep him at a respectful elbow's length. Tbe neighbors were not slew to per­ ceive the coolness that grew between the erstwhile cronies, but they attrib- over toward his that the little shack was also being transformed. Workmen were putting up a brick extension and a shingled roof, and Bates, attired to a brand new suit of clothes, was surveying operations with a cigar in bis mouth. A dreadful suapicioq which Mills had_ entertained now grew into a cer­ tainty? "Going Jn for a wife, eh, Jim?” he called jocularly, but with an odd sinkipg -feeling which Bates' next words confirmed. "Well, I don't know but I might. Hank," answered the other. “Maybe there’s a little girl down East-—'* en to tbe air, for Henry Milla was hurrying away as fast as he could go. He was determined to raise that sec­ ond hundred at once and'send it He had only sent a hundred, regretting that times were bard. He was glad that he had held out a lingering prom- A letter was waiting for him. It was in the same fluent handwriting. "Dear Friend," it ran. "Yours re­ ceived and thank yon so much for the journey money. Now, Henry, let us be frank with one another. My clothes are ail worn out, and I am too much of a lady to start out to be married in shabby things, so I must have an­ other hundred and fifty, or else I may have to consider a proposal I have from somebody who doesn’t live a thousand miles away from you." Mills saddled his horse and half an hour later, got down outside the bank In the nearest town where his money was kept As he descended be saw Bates coming out. He was crumpling a number of brand new notes in bis fist. The two men glared at each other, started forward, and then, with a simultaneous Impulse, turned their backs on each other and went their From that time on frank hostility reigned between them. There were no more friendly evenings together, and the only time they met was when they besieged the post office on the arrival of the thrlce-a-week mail. Henry Mills sent 1150 and implored Estelle to come out on the next train. After that it was a weary period of waiting. The house was built and new fur­ niture placed In It before the long-ex­ pected letter arrived. Jim was wait­ ing at the post office that day. Henry Mills did not wait to see whether any­ thing arrived for him. but clutched his letter exultantly and leaped on his horse. She was coming, then! He would read the letter when he got home. His soul was full of rapture and he fingered tbe missive lovingly as he rode along. Once in his house he flung himself down upon the new lounge and tore It open. This is what he read: “Dear Friend: My heart bleeds for me to have to tell you what 1 must tell you, but since your letter camo I have met the man of my choice, and we are married. He Is taking me on our honeymoon to Europie, and we shall probably be back in two years’ time. So no more from your former friend. "ESTELLE." She did not enclose the 1250 that he had sent Altogether, including the house and the furniture, Henry Mills was "out" in the neighborhood of flJOO. He sat there in a lethargy of de­ spair for a long time. But ^uddenly there came to him a thought that strangely brightened and cheered him. He saddled his horse hastily and rode over to Jim's. Jim was not outside in bis fields. He knocked at the door. "Come in." muttered a holloyv voice, full of poignant anguish. Henry went In. Jim Bates was lying upon'bis new lounge, a letter on the floor beside him. As his old friend entered be struggled to his feet. Henry Mills looked at the letter and seemed to recognize the handwriting. And suddenly a whoop escaped his lips, and. without even a “by-yourleave" be snatched it up and pe­ rused IL It was couched In identical language with the one which he had had an hour before. Suddenly the same thought seemed to come into Jim Bates' mind, for his scow) relaxed and gave place to a broad grin, and bls hand went out to­ ward his old crony's. "Same with you. Hank?" he asked. “Same here," said Henry Mills, and their bands met and were clasped warmly. *'I guess we’ve been a couple of fools, eh. Hank?" asked Jim. "How soon did you begin to suspect me, Jim?" asked Henry. “Day I come Into your shack and you wasn't there, and I saw a piece of paper sticking out from under the mattress,” answered Jim Bates. "Well," Baid the other thoughtfully, "anyhow. I’m glad we’ve got our houses built at last and furnished.” "Same here," said the other. "Say, Hank, will you be round for a pipeful after supper?" "Sure thing," answered his friend, pitching a piece of paper into the stove.

He hadn't been with the governor dally for the past two years without knowing what that personage's secret wish was.

Also a woman didn’t fuss and worry about a man's overshoes if she hated him. ”1 wish you a pleasant journey. Mrs. Slade. I guess I'll have to run along now." "Jake, I'd just as soon you didn't say you saw me," Mark remarked as she shook hands with him. "You can depend on me, Mrs. Slade." Jake's candor and sincerity would have deceived a saint "You eat your supper In peace. I give you my word of honor I won't say a thing." “Thank you, Jake," she replied, sat­ isfied. "Good night" As Jake opened the door the snow eddied in and a blast of cold wind sent a chin through Mary's body.

People came and went a queer assortment of human­ ity—women of the streets and char­ women wanting a cup of coffee—but shtf scarcely saw them. She knew when tbe door opened by the accom­ panying chili, but she paid no atten­ tion to anyone coming or going. When Slade's handsome figure appeared and his eyes searched the room 'uixiously she did not look up. For a moment he locked at her, hungrily—sadly. She was pathetic even now, although she had changed and improved, but she did look so little and wistful as she sat eating her lonely, simple meal of crackers and milk and coffee. He walked down the room and stood before her. bUt it waB oniy when be spoke that she looked up. Her eyes showed first amazement and then the love she could In no wise conceal. A warm flush made her look, to him, almost an pretty as she bad when she was a girl. "Well, how are you. Mary?" ba asked. It was an ordinary enough speech, but the tone was tender and his eyes were asking tbe question she could not ignore. “Why, Dan! I heard you tonight" the words were out before she recov­ ered from her surprise. "I’m glad you wanted to go," be said, simply, "but what’s the use of There was a touch of cynicism tn his attitude and manner. "Of what?"

Big Tax on Woman's Estate. It rarely happens In Great Britain that a woman has the disposal at her death of more than *5,000,000, but the eighth millionaire estate to be pro­ bated during the present financial year is that of a Miss Easton of Fell­ ing in Durham and Layton Manor in Yorkshire, who died at the age of ninety-five. Her estate is valued for probate at *5398,900. The duties on this will amount to more than *1.060,000. Tbe only other cases recorded in re­ cent years of women who disposed at their death of estates over *5.000,000 in value are Mra Rylands, widow of a Manchester warehouse owner, who left *17.243.460; Mrs. Lewis-Hill, wife of Captain Lewis-Hill and widow ot Bam Lewis, the famous West end •Oh, Dan,” She Murmured. money lender, who left *5,759,865; Baroness von HIrsch, who left *30,always were.

Ex-President Taft was talking in New Haven about the Industrial Work­ ers of the World and their assault on the New York churches. "Tannen­ baum and his friends are too cynical," said Mr. Taft "I believe in social re­ form, but cynicism such as the I. W. W. preachea can only lead to an­ archy." With his merry smile Mr. Taft added: "This wholesale cynicism reminds me of the tramp who said: The hodcarrier. calls it pay, the preacher calls it'stipend, the financier calls it profit and the burglar calls It swag, but it comes to tbe same thing in the end.’ " A Lesson. Mme. Jolre, whose pretty Paquin mannequins went to the theater one evening in Chicago in colored wigs, was talking to a reporter. "Colored wigs," she said with a smile, "are beau­ tiful on beautiful women, but they are very ugly on ugly ones. There’s a col­ ored wig anecdote with a moral. A royalist , duchess, receiving Ln her gloomy hotel in the Rue de Varennes, put up her lorgnon on the entrance of an ugly and overdressed marquise and murmured: T don’t object to a green wig, but why brown teeth and lemon­ yellow skin?’” It Was Hsn-ry.

Then with an air of great surprise at . the an­ swer she drew back the card she was tendering the supposed maid and smiled* genially. "How stupid of mo,” she said, “not to realize that you are Mrs. Gorman, Of course, you and not the maid! can't keep a maid in a tiny, five-room fiat!

Oh, my dear— forgive me for interfering, but perhaps you don't know that Arabian lace is entirely out! You must have filet! Here in the city we have to be ter­ ribly up to date! That's one reason why I always was so fond of Tom— he is such an up-to-date man. He al­ ways wanted the very latest in every­ thing—so you can imagine our sur­ prise when we learned’ he was to marry a girt from a small town. I suppose you were such a contrast—< delightful contrasL of course—to what he always had been used to! "I’ve always felt that perhaps If Tom hadn’t so Insisted on style It would have been better for him. Ho would make more progress in the busi­ ness world, I mean. I've always taken an interest in his career, because I rather helped him on socially—intro­ duced him around, you know, and got him started. He was so diffident and awkward at first, poor boy. He was too grateful to me, I thought, especially when he—dear me, how I ramble on! T expect Tom will find it very hard to settle down into a staid married man now. Of course, on his salary be can't entertain and do things, now that be Is married. How fortunate for him that be married a girl used to a simple life! That was what I always advised him to do when—you know, Tom came to me with all his troubles, and a man certainly does learn to depend on a girl when he gets the habit of doing that! “I used to say to him: 'Tom, what on earth will you do when I get mar­ ried and haven't any time for you.’ But be was always so broken up at the idea that I had to stop teasing him. I don't believe Ln letting a man think there is a chance that you may care for him when you know you never could in the world! I’ve always had my ideal of a man and he has to be very brilliant and clever and keen and terribly successful—an ex­ traordinary man. in fact. I never could be satisfied with anything less. I am different from most girls in that— with them it is anything to get mar­ ried! Haven’t you noticed it? **I don’t suppose you and Tom would care to go into the card club we are forming. The refreshments and prizes are quite simple, but I know what a drain every little thing is on the purse of newlyweds struggling to get along. I thought you wouldn't, so I filled in with some friends of mine— they live in that great bouse around the corner'with the big garage.

They want Tom and ma to live Ln their house while they are gone, so they can keep their servants and chauffeurs and have the place open. That Is why we stopped settling here. Did you know Tom had gone into tlje firm with my uncle?" "Really?" stammered* the caller.

Against Windstorms. The cyclone of June 27th practically wiped out the little town of Petrieville, Eaton county. Located in a valley along the Grand River, and surrounded with hills and woods, perhaps the people felt that they were secure from the cyclone’s fury. At any rate they carried no insur­ . It isn't the coarseness of some peo­ ple we object to so much as their courseness. ance against cyclones, tornadoes and windstorms. But almost in the twinkling of an eye the people of this little town saw their beautiful homes, Perhaps the fashionable girl isn't really so narrow as her dressmaker makes her appear. that because no severe windstorm had ever visited them, probably no such storm ever would. They had been solicited to take out windstorm insurance, but felt as many others do bams, orchards and buildings reduced to kindling wood, Out of the $100,000 to $150,000 loss in Eaton county, only $10,000 to $12,000 was covered by windstorm insurance. It seems to be the natural bent of some fellows to get down on their knees to every girl they meet.

UNLESS WE ARE SENSIBLE ENOUGH TO STOP IT. It is up to ua to prevent the big mall order houses from driving our store­ keepers out of business, for several reasons, the greater of hich are that and that our ownership of property here will not amount to anything, in this event. by our business men are the principal support of our schools snd churches. It Is the taxes paid by our storekeepers that pay for the iocs' improvements, for the street lighting, for fire protection and for all other communistic privi­ leges snd protection. If we permit the big mall order houses to drive our business men out of competitidn, what will we have left? A place of empty store buildings. an undesirable place tn which to live If tbe mall oru.-r houses accomplish their purpose it is possible that railroad Interests will decide there Is not sufficient business to warrant the stopping of trains here—because there will be no reason, then, for traveling men to stay over in our town, no freight to be delivered to our stores. In such cases we will be trying to sell our property, but will find no buyers, for who will think it a good Investment to buy property in a dead town? But this la just what we must expect If wo keep sending our dollars to tbe mall order houses, for it Is only the business of the town that makes the town possible. When we send practically all of our busine to the mall order houses In the cities there will no longer be a necessity for, or a reason for, a town here. It ail resolves itself Into the question: SHALL WE HAVE PROSPER­ OUS TOWN. WITH GOOD LOCAL BUSINESS. GOOD REAL ESTATE VALUES. GOOD WAGES AND GOOD MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT. OR SHALL WE HAVE A DEAD TOWN. WITH PIGS ROOTING IN THE PRIN­ CIPAL STREETS. STORE BUILDINGS EMPTY AND WITH “FOR SALE­ SIGNS HUNG UP. NO LIGHTS AND NO FIRE PROTECTION. IT ALL RESTS WITH US. WE ARE THE ONES TO DECIDE. Commcn sense and good judgment tell us to protect our own Interests. If we don’t, who will? What can we expect from the mail order houses after they shall have received our money and the local storekeepers have been put out of the run­ king? Shall we expect help and assistance from the mall order monopoly? We all know that the mail order houses do not pay any of our local taxes. They do not support our schools, or churches or help to pay for our lighting the streets or for our Are department Every dollar spent at home means added wealth, added prosperity, added real estate values and added facilities of all kinds. Every dollar sent to the mail order houses means more unfair competi­ tion for our storekeepers and less taxes toward the support of our com­ munity. Which do e prefer? We must make the decision. Are we for or against our community? LET’S MAKE IT A LIVE TOWN BY KEEPING OUR MONEY IN CIR­ CULATION AMONG OUR OWN BUSINESS MEN.

Enoch Wentworth, acting as banker, cashed in the chips of the Winners. Three of the men put on their hats, said “Good morning,” and went out. Andrew Merry sat beside the baize-covered table with Its litter of chips, pulling slowly at a cigar and staring into vacancy. “Do you mind If I open this win­ dow?” asked Wentworth. “There's a chill In tho air outdoors that will feel good. I’ve swallowed so much smoko my throat feels raw.” "Open every window in the room if you like, old man. I'm going home.’’ "Hold on a minute,” cried Went­ worth unexpectedly.

I ought to be willing to stake my life against your* on any hand, if you say so." "Do you mean that?" Andrew Merry smiled and blew flurry of smoke rings into the marble face of the Shakespeare, while he watched Wentworth’s pen hurry across a sheet of paper. The newspaper man handed It to him with the ink still “There," ho said, “we'll play for that document the winner’s name to be written at the top, the loeer to write his name at the bottom." Andrew Merry read it aloud: I hereby pledge myself until death —to do your every bidding—to obey your every demand—to the extent of my physical and mental ability—you to furnish ms with support "Will that hold good In law?” “Just so long as the loser is a man of honor—no longer. Are you going to weaken "I’ll be damned If I am. I'll put this bit of paper in my scrapbook.” “The man who wins, keeps that bit of paper," Wentworth answered with a whimsical smile. He tossed the unsigned bond into the center of the table and shuffled tho cards with grave deliberation. Merry lit a fresh cigar and puffed It meditatively. Upon each listless brain began to dawn tbe realization that thio was a stake of greater Import than tho rolls of bills which had grown lighter and lighter till the last greenback van­ ished.

Next morning the two men stood on the platform of the smoker on a shore accommodation train, which.sauntered from one small station to the next, skirting the water for miles. Andrew Merry tossed a half-smoked cigar into a swamp beside the track where the thin, green blades of cat­ tails were whipped by the breeze. "I don’t believe I want to mix odor* this morning," he eald. "It is great ozone.” Wentworth lifted his hat to let the wind cool bls said Merry.

"I’m glad I’m not your victim," said Wentworth, with a note of sympathy in his voice. "Enoch,” the girl turned to him gravely, "I told you he needed waking up. and this Is a good start. It wont hurt him a bit.” "Poor Merry! What a sight!” ’ They watched him come tramping over the beach. He wore Farmer Hutchins’ overalls rolled up to his knees and a flapping cow-breakfast hat. He carried a clam fork and occa­ sionally shifted a heavy basket of clams from one arm to the other. i (TO BE CONTINUED.) * * VARIED ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Women school teachers1 In Russia receive the same pay as the men.

"How queer that I’ve never met your sister," Merry suggested. "Is she grown up?" Wentworth laughed. "Almost," he admitted. "You did see her once." Merry followed Wentworth as the train stopped. ’ In a half-dosed fashion he shook hands with a toll young woman in a white linen gown. Was this the child—long limbed, gawky and shy—be had Imagined be might meet! Somewhere back in his mind lay an impression that Enoch bad referred to his sinter an a yourg colt The thought was so absurd that he smiled; any ooltlsh awkwardness must have disappeared with short frocks! Merry stared at the girl with bewildered ad­ miration, wondering now why he had never felt the mildest curiosity about Wentworth's sister. He became con­ scious that be was making a mental analysis; she had black-fringed gray syes; warmth and dancing blood glowed in her face, for she had the coloring of a Jack rose; a mass of auburn hair wan colled in a loose knot at the back of her head; she wore no hat; a band of dull-blue velve* was tied about her head and fell in a loose bow over her ear, but strands of hair, which glowed like copper in the sun­ shine, had escaped and b(ew about her face; she had the tender mouth of a child In tbe straightforward eyes was sweet womanliness, gentle deter­ mination, and a lack of feminine vanity which Merry had seldom seen in the face of a beautiful woman. He even forgot to drop her hand while he gazed into her face, half admiringly, half perplexedly.. "I’ve brought Mr. Merry down to stay with us till we go home," Went­ worth announced. T’m delighted,” cried Dorcss cor­ dially.

July 20.—The finish­ ing touches to the five per cent rate Increase decision were made at a meet­ ing of the interstate commerce com­ mission today. The decision will probably be made public Tuesday. The decision is both favorable and unfavorable to the railroads. A measurable increase In class rates Is granted. No Increases whatever are allowed on commodities. No flat five per cent increase is granted on any commodity or upon any class rate. To that extent the decision will be sweepingly unfavorable to the car­ riers. Increases In class rates amounting to 31S.000.000 annually are authorized. To that extent the deciBion will be favorable to the roads. Economies which will save the east­ ern lines probably >25,000,000 a year are insisted upon by the commission. The financial mismanagement of many of the lines will be cited aa a reason why efficiency and economy must take the place of added revenue from rates. Extravagance and waste in the pur­ chase of supplies arc condemned by the commissioners. The road* are rebuked by the com­ mission tor an attempt to create a public sentiment in favor of an in­ crease. Any Increase, the commissioners will say, higher than that allowed in the forthcoming order would fall upon the consumer and the consumer will be warned against any dealer who charges more for his goods by reason of the decision. These in genera! are the big and im­ portant phases of the commission’s re­ port as printed. But few if any changes will be made before it is given out An increase possibly may be al­ lowed on two commodities, but hardly upon more. Commodities Rule HiU Road*. Specifically, the commission has de­ nied all increases whatever to the rail­ roads upon commodities. This is nat­ urally a blow to the carriers. Eighty per cent of the traffic of the transportation" lines Involved consists of commodity freight—that Is. freight that moves In bula and usually in car­ load lota. The commodities which the commis­ sion has declined to order advances upon a* cited in the printed order are as follows: Coal, coke, ore, limestone, sand, gravel, plaster, cement, stone, lumber, other forest products, tiles, brick, clay, paper In pulp, ice, flour, grain and pe­ troleum. I nadditlon to this list the commis­ sion has refused all advances on the so-called rall-and-lake rates. The rates apply on freight that is shipped partly by steamer on the great lakes and partly by rail. It consists mainly of ore, coal and grain, though there are many other commodities that move by that route. RAILROADS AND COAL DEALS MAR,0N heath Plano Lessons, Voice Culture.

It has happened that the citizens became "mail-order-mad" 'and Kent to tbe big citles for the greater part of their merchandise. The local merchants aban­ doned the field, because there was no business there for them.

Every dollar of this enormous income was diverted from storekeepers in small communities. Every dollar sent In to that great mall order concern, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars annually, detracted from the prosperity of some community, struggling to become a center of population, but retarded by thn short-sightedness of the citizens who sent their money out of town in preference to helping towards the prosperity of their own community. Of course, it was all done unthinkingly. Those who sent their dollars to the mall order house did not stop to consider that-these same dollar* would add to the prosperity of the home community if expended at home. They did not stop to reason that by helping those in their own community they would be best advancing their own Interests. THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS YOTR HELP.

Growing old has many stages. You can remember the time when, iu read­ ing your favorite author, you were dis­ gusted to find that he had made his hero forty years old. and you won­ dered bow he could be guilty of im­ puting romance to such an unconscion­ able age. By and by, even though you found forty years to be,the old age of youth, you were solaced by the thought that it was the youth of old where youth ends and old ace begins.

THE REXALL A very serious menace the farmers of Michigan is the army worm, whose scientific name is Leucania unlpuncta. and whose ways are devilish. They usually travel in force and no army leaves more com­ plete desolation in its path, except that the army worm does not burn or destroy buildings. They do;' how­ ever, eat every green thing in their progress, and the damage they have already done in Michigan this sea­ son is estimated at more than a million dollars. They have done the most damage in the Thumb district, where they have now attacked the sugar beets. This Immediate por­ tion of the state has not been nearly so hard hit as some other sections, but the worms have made their ap­ pearance in considerable force in Woodland, In Kalamo, and in some parts of Castleton. One Kalamo man claims to have lost a hundred bushels of oats hi one day before he discovered the ravages of the peat, while several others have had to fight the worms tn every way possi­ ble. One man cleaned them out with a mixture of parts green, mo­ lasses and bran, which they ate ravenously and then perished mis­ erably. but this method is nqt only expensive, but coi^ld not be used in many places on account of the dan­ ger to. stock. They can be stopped in the'ir march by plowing, a deep furrow tn their pathway, into which they will fall and from which they find It hard to extricate themselves. They can then be destroyed by drag­ ging a log along the furrow, by turn­ ing another furrow over them, or by dosing them liberally with kerosene. The government is sending an expert "bug man" into the state to study the creatures and endeavor to help the farmers find a way to subdue them. A few of the worms have made their appearance in the village. Ed. Liebhauser reports that they have done considerable damage on his lawn. H. D. Wotring also is having trouble with them. The worms are described as being smooth, not “wooly ones.” about two-thirds the size of a cut worm, which they resemble considerably, except tfiat they have a yellow stripe along each side. The oats in this part of th$ state are about out of the way of the worms, but they are apt to.do a great deal of damage to corn, beans, potatoes »and other crops unless they are beaded off. ASSYRIA FARMERS’ CLUB. The club met at tbe pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Shepard. About 50 sat down to the delightful dinner, and after dinner the number was increased to about 70. George Kent was on the program to lead a discussion, but was not present so the program consisted on­ ly of recitations and music. Mrs. Nina Tasker and Mrs. Carrie Lyon each gave.very pleasing solos and both responded with secdnd num­ bers. Recitations were given by Ruby Schroder, Margaret- Brady, Ethel Stumpf, Mrs. Mabel Moore and Mrs. Irvin Chapman and all came up to their usual standard of ex­ cellence. Mrs. Stella Tuckerman gave a good reading. By request, little Velma Mulvaney sang tbe lit­ tle song she at the last club. The Club adjourned to bold their next meeting at Loon lake. ODD FELLOWS PICNIC, In spite of the fact that threaten­ ing weather kept many at home, the picnic of the Odd Fellows and Re­ bekahs at Thornapple lake Thursday was well attended and all had a most enjoyable time. In the after­ noon a literary and musical program was given on the lawn which was of a high order of merit, nearly every number bringing a hearty encore. The Vermontville band was present and gave enjoyable concerts in the morning and afternoon. The largest attendance was from Vermontville, al­ though a number of Nashville mem­ bers were present and a few from other lodges. Tax time.—Advt. O. E.

L GLASGOW This is the time of year the housewife begins to look around for something new for tbe table, and its about as hard a thing to do as it is to collect some grocery accounts, but we try to help her out. This week we are offering some very nice Alberta peaches, nutmeg can tel opes, fresh tomatoes, new cabbage and some nice Valencia oranges. Peaches this year will be high owing to the short crop and if you contemplate canning, do it early for as the season advances the price will advance also; now just you see If we are not right. Watermelons are cutting fine; we have some that can't be beat. Flour has commenced to show tbe effect of the bumper wheat crop and decline a little, yet you know it is slow to go down owing to the fact that tbe mills are grinding old wheat yet.. We sell you Kaws Best, perhaps better known as "why is a crow”’ and New Perfection the "Faultless'-Flour". This combine cannot be excelled for both pastry and bread. Did you know we want a load of straw and are willing to steal, beg or buy it? Well we are. Quick & Co GOOD GROCERIES Yes, we make a specialty of keeping only the class of goods that every housewife appreciates, and such a variety of eatables that you can pre­ pare a wholesome, appetizing meal any season of the year. We would be pleased to add you to our list of customers. Gall and look over our shelves, and see if w5 haven’t just the things you relish. Our Shoe Sale of odds and ends is still on and we have a number of bargains left that merit your attention. If you need a pair of shoes, come in today. LOWELL GRANITE AND MARBLE WORKS will sell von a MONUMENT OR MARKER OF FIRST QUALITY GRANITE —And use that quality when we build your monu­ ment or marker. We do not sell you one kind of granite and use a cheaper inferior grade when we finish your work. Think of this when you wish to place your order. We stand for Quality of Material and Work­ manship, at Reasonable Prices, W. B. STILLWELL, NASHVILLE, MICH Joseph Hamilton Estate Lowull, Mich. from our local storekeepers we examine everything with the utmost care, we test for strength and look for quality. We discuss with the merchant the desirability and value of everything and lifter we shall have decided that we will effect a purchase we are convinced that we have obtained Full value and that' we can depend on our purchase as being what we went Then, again, if for any reason we have reason to be dissatisfied with that*whlcb we have bought we can talk it over with our merchant and any discrepancy will be readily adjusted. • This is the principle .of all good business. The buyer meets the seller face to face and examines the goods before closing the deal. The seller la responsible for his representations and the buyer can always find him and adjust any differences which may occur. On the other hand thtfre is the mall order method. We receive a book from the'mall order bouse. Illustrated with expensive pictures of various articles. The descriptions of these articles are always optimistic and gloriously pleasing. Our minds are impressed by the charm­ ing wording of the descriptions and the selection of adjectives creates in our minds a desire to possess these wonderful things. All sorts of promises are made in the book, or catalog. We will be accorded the greatest possible consideration, we will be allowed all kinds of privileges; we can return the goods at the expense of the bouse if not sat­ isfactory; shipments will be made with promptness and despatch; any dam* ages in shipping will be adjusted at once; “Our Mr. So-and-So will give your orders his persona] attention." etc. We are flattered and cajoled by the dever wording of the catalogue and the statements made In the “fake** personal letters sent to follow up the cata­ logue. We are touched In that ttay spot of vanity which, though small, seems to be everywhere and to respond to the slightest touch. “ We are allured by the prospect of obtaining such magnificent and desir­ able articles at such remarkably low (T) prices and we are flattered by the statement that Mr. So-and-So will give our order personal attention. We begin to believe ourselves to be “some pupkins’* and we are inclined to swell up and look askance at our less fortunate townsmen who have not been singled out for such distinction as a letter, signed In person by Mr. So-and-So. Therefore, we decide that we will send an order for something. We for­ get that we can go into the store of our own local So-and-So, whom we know and to whom we are perhaps responsible for past favors. But It Is easy to forget all this in the happiness and exultation'of having been singled out by tbe great mail order “boss'’ as a desirable person with whom to do business. SO WE SEND AN ORDER, CASH WITH IT, OF COURSE. Then we welt /or the article to come. More waiting. Then we write to the mall order "boas." We get a succession of form letters in reply, but no merchandise. We waste a lot of time and patience and postage stamps and stationery. Finally the shipment arrives. We are astounded. This hardly looks like the article we expected. So we write again. Then follows more correspondence. We are told to exam­ ine the article again thoroughly and compare the description with it. We Yes. the technical deacriptlon la the same. BUT THE CLEVER STYLE TN WHICH IT IS WRITTEN HAS DELIBERATELY MISLED US. The Illus­ tration has lied to us deliberately, because the picture was toned up and exaggerated for,the sole purpose of misleading us. We are stung. We could have gotten a far better value from our local storekeeper for the money. The lying letters we received from Mr. So-and-So were merely printed form letters and were probably never seen by the alleged signer, who Is In Europe spending the dollars which we, and other similar Bah! Why will be persist in such foolishness? Our common sense should tell us better. But no, probably we will do the same thing over again when we get the same sort of flattering and lying dope from another mail order bouse that has bought a list ot names, containing ours, from the house which stung us. . YES. THEY WILL PASS OUR NAMES ALONG. ONE TO THE OTHER. WE HAVE PLACED OURSELVES ON RECORD AS BEING "EASY MARKS.** In the meantime we may go to our local dealer and buy the article we really need, He will guarantee it and, perhaps, give us credit for it if we need it.

Out of the cool buttery Mrs. Tis­ dale stepped briskly, with two palls of milk. She put the covers on both, and walled, smiling at th® stoop-abouJderfed, stubborn old fellow making his toilet for dinner at tbe iron sink. "Just tell them what I sa?, now, mother," the old man Insisted. "I can’t be bothered 'round haying time." Somebody was whistling down the winding lane that led from the barn to the brook where the cattle trooped to be watered night and morning. She knew it was Ben, and her chin settled into decisive lines. "Pa, I hate to go against you. but right’s right, and these girls are will­ ing to go ’round by the road. I shall tell them they can stay where they are. I guess after thirty-eight years • here. I’ve got some rights, Alonzo, and they'll buy milk and butter and vegetables steady for two weeks." Ben stopped dead short when he came around by the woodshed and *8w the girls. Perhaps he might have bolted if it hadn’t been for the friend­ ly, comradely greeting they gave him. He had never seen girls like these. Dressed in khaki skirts, middy blouses, and hair bound in close Indian plaits around their heads, the girls stood smiling at him. "We're going into camp over on your hill," called one of them. Ts there a spring around the pine grove?" Ben assured them there was a beau­ ty. He'd go himself and show it to them. "We're Camp Fire Girls. My name is Dorothy Nevins." The tall, blue­ eyed girl held out her hand to him. “I heard your mother say Ben would show us where things were, so you must be Ben. is it safe bathing in that pond above the dam?” "Safe enough if you know where the holes are," Ben said. "Keep toward the upper end on your side." , • "It’s a darling old place," Dorothy said, wistfully "You want to live in a city all your life to really appreciate this. 1 wish 1 lived here, part of the year, anyway.” "So do I,’’ «aid Ben before he thought, and then he stared hard at the fire, and felt his cheeks grow warm. Yet he added huskily, "I wouldn't mind a bit If you were here.” It was the last day before the camp broke up. Ben was In the pasture next the woodland hunting p couple of calves that had stayed when he heard the girls calling for help. The cry came from the old mill pond down by the hill. Ben took the short cut to it through the strip of woodland and the boggy meadow beyond. “It's Dorothy," the girls called, as be neared them. “She was teaching one of us to swim and dive, and we can't find her." Ben knew where she was The bank shelved into a rock strata at this point, and. dipped down into a deep hole filled with treacherous sunken snags -nd broken old boughs. Every boy and man tn the whole town too knew that black hole in the Tisdale mill pond and steered clear of it Along the road came "Pa" Tisdale, leaning way over and dreaming his day dreams. He heard the girls’ cries, and Inwardly resented the dis­ turbance of the beautiful morning peace, until he turned the bend and saw what had happened. And some­ how, sixty odd years dropped right off '"Pa’s” schoulders then and there. He, too, knew that place in the pond. He bad lived there at the old farm as a boy. "Whoa, girls," he called to the gray mares, and stood up, tugging at his old vest and boots. Leaving the load ot sweet-scented, fresh-cut hay stand­ ing in the road, he crashed through the underbrush to the brink of the pond, but Ben was swimming In with long overhand strokes, holding Doro­ thy’s unconscious body over his arm. It was the old man himself who helped him up the bank with his burden, and took the limp little body from him. "The poor little thing." he said, huskily. "Well take her right home So it came about that when the lit­ tle body of campers was ready to move along, it went without its leader. Up at Maple View* she rested, petted and tended by Ma Tisdale for several weeks, with Ben and Pa both vying in showing honors to their guest. Somehow it seemed perfectly natural one splendid moonlight night, out un­ der the maples with the whip-poor-will calling over on the edge of the woods, when Ben told bls city sweetheart all she meant to him.

The telephone In Enoch Wentworth’s room rang insistently. He had gone to bed three hours before, and he struggled to shake off sheer, stupid drowsiness. He rushed to the tele' phone. Its ring had become emptory. “Hullo," he called briskly. “Hullo, old chap," Merry answered him gnily. "The lop o* the morning to you." “Good morning." Wentworth’s alert­ ness died in a second.

"No, 1 thought I'd break that gently. He thinks now I'm a devil of aa actor; he might imagine 1 couldn't have so much versatility; that my play might be ot the brand some actors turn out.” "Good,” cried Enoch, warmly. "You bavq mopv sense than I gave you credit for." “Really? Now, old pal. go buck U> bed. But tell me first when I can see you. 1 want a long talk with you." "Make it four.

Mfe?“ vitally concentrated upon the drama that they were scarcely conscious ot a movement when Dorcas crept from her low chair to the window seal She lay back against a pillow, gathered the folds of a silky portiere around her, and stared down at the square. She heard her brother's voice In fragments. Those .fragments were always the words of the girl. Cordelia, or of the father fallen to pitiful estate. She clasped her hands together with such a grip that it numbed her fingers. A strange pain and a horrible suspicion were seeping through her body and burning in her veins. Outwardly she was inert. Suddenly she was awake again, wide awake, tingling with life and emotion, listening to her brother's vibrant voice. The day of release had come for John Esterbrook. He stood with halting, tremulous steps, fearful at tbe sight of the world he had left twenty years before, hiding his eyes from Its tumult Then Cordelia ran to meet him—young, hopeful, loving and e-ger. Dorcas forgot the horror and doubt which had swept her down for a mo­ ment, she was thinking of nothing but the play. It was greater, more human, than she had dreamed of that day when Andrew and she walked home over the beach at Juniper Point Her eyes grew wet with pity, then she smiled happily as life ceased to be a problem for Cordelia. Love had come, and the father turned to work out what waa left him of a future. v Enoch laid the manuscript aside. The Englishman, hearty In bis con gratulatlons and enthusiastic, was urging the earliest possible produc tion. He offered unlimited money and Insisted that the best company NewYork could produce should be engaged. The spell of ths story was 8*111 upon Dorcas. She passed out, shaking hands hastily with Oswald. “Dorry," cried h4r brother. She did Dot answer. "Tbe play stirred her intensely," ssld Oswald. He had noticed a trace of tears on her cheeks. "Was thia the hardened <aiuugh yet to accept con­ gratulation* for tbe brain product of another man. "Good-by," said the Englishman, bolding out his hand cordially. "Good-by," murmured Wentworth He moved to the window. A carriage stood -waiting in front of the house. He watched Oswald step into ft and drive away. Suddenly he recollected that Dorcan had not spoken a single word of praise or congratulation on the play. She was always enthusiastic and happy over every triumph that came to him. She must have thought well of the play. She had a full appreciation of MerrJ's talents and she bad seemed to like him while they were together during the summer. He paused to pull himself together mentally, them he called her. She camo slowly Inta, the room, which had grown dark. “Dorry," said Wentworth' slowly, “dtr you know you have not said yet that* you like—my play?" "Your play?" “Why, Dorry?” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

What are the peculiar features -of a Chautauqua? These and similar ' questions are _____ ____ heard____ daily on____ our streets. Several 1101 debates have arisenj over t|je pronounciation of the word. Through the Central Chautauqua System we have secured the (ollowing interesting facts. The word is of Indian origin ap­ plied to a beautiful lake in Western New York. It is pronounced Shawtaw-qua. In 1874 Bishop Vincent and several kindred spirits selected a camp grourfd on the shores of the lake to conduct a summer school where they proposed to combine educatlon. refined entertainment, re Hgipus instruction and recreation. The idea was novel, original and popular. The attractiveness of the place and program grew and drew people from all parts of the country. People came from, great distances and soon there was a growing de­ mand for branch assemblies at vari­ ous convenient centers. Here was the Impelling motive which has led to the establishment of many Chautauquas. It was the desire to take the splendid features of the Mother Chautauqua to every man, Ionian and child in the country. The great handicap of early Chautauquas was the expensive railroad fare. Today the Chautauqua is tak­ en to the people. We have at our door every essential feature of the parent institution. The treat once reserved for those who could afford to leave home and business and in­ dulge in extensive travel is now ex­ tended to the rank and file. The circuit system is the last word In the development of this remarkable in­ stitution. It is a triumph of modem efficiency organization and system.

Bassett, for the pant three years in the automobile busi­ ness In Nashville, has taken into partnership with him Walter' H. Burd, the real estate man. the new firm to be known as A. E. Bassett & Co. The new firm will also have a new location, having rented the entire McWha block on the east side ot Main street from the owners, the Grand Rapids Brewing Co. The building is to be fixed up In good shape, is to have a a©w roof, new paint, and many alterations to make It suitable for the proper display of automobiles and accessories. The block comprises two stores, which are connected, and the. company al­ so has the second floor, which will give them plenty of room for al! their requirements. The new firm has the agency for the Maxwell car for this territory for the coming year, and has con­ tracted for ■ a liberal allowance of the new 1915 model. Mr. Bassett sold fifteen of the Maxwells in this territory this year, a remarkable record for the first year in 'new ter­ ritory, and the car is giving such excellent service that the agency is a valuable asset. They will in all probability also take on one or more other lines of cars, ot a high­ er and lower price. ■ Mr. Burd will not discontinue his real estate business, but will keep bis office in the old location for the present. Mr. Bassett will not personally conduct the re­ pair shop which he has been running, but the new firm is arranging for a connection with such an institution. The firm has already taken several contracts for the new model, and hope to soon be able to fill orders. They have been promised a demon­ strator this week, with other ship­ ments in the near future. Work on the alterations and im­ provements to the building will be started Monday, and will be rushed to completion as rapidly as possible. SHIELDS IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

A fami­ ly row in the Shields family was the starting of the affair, and Staup claims that Mrs. Shields came over to his house to escape her husband, wbo followed and wanted to pound up her and the children. Staup tried to expostulate with Shields, where­ upon he alleges that Shields turned and assaulted him. Staup, who Is a bad cripple, defended himself to the best of his ability, but Shields was too much for him. Shields was taken before Justice Wellman, where he pleaded not guilty and gave bonds In the sum of 150 to appear next Monday for a hearing. -, A divorce suit is pending in the Shields family, Mrs. S. having begun action some time since, but the pa­ pers were only served on Shields af­ ter the affair of Sunday. “NICK" BLACKBERRY A GOOD OLD REMEDY We want just three minutes of your time when you are again troubled with Cholera, Diarrhea or any bowel complaint.

As it is, he is limping around with a bad gash in his right foot, and is thanking his lucky stars that the Injury was no worse. Mr. Keith was driving one of the three teams hitch­ ed to a separator belonging to the Curtis threshing outfit of Kalamo. When coming down the hill juqt west of the Quailtrap corners, the bolts dropped out of the front trucks, let­ ting the end of the separator shoot forward on the ground.

It isn’t often a man raises a howl when he gets a raise ot wages, but that is just what the rural carriers of the country are doing right now. Some time ago a bill passed congress which all the carriers and nearly ev­ erybody else supposed was intended to give each carrier who had a full length route a raise ot $100 per year, which would make the annual salary $1,200. Last week Postmas­ ter General Burleson issued an order under the new act whereby a very few ot the carriers get the hundred dollar raise, while some ot them get no raise at all, and others gat a lift of from $4 per year up. The Nash­ ville carriers all have full 25-mlle routes except Brumm of No. 3, who has a little over 24 miles, and whose annual salary was $1,056, all of the others receiving $1,100 per year. Sat­ urday morning Postmaster Glasner received notice .from the department announcing that after July 1 the carriers would receive salaries as follows: . 1 Murray. A. G., $1,104. 2 Wert*. F.

About the .same st^te of affairs prevails ail over th© country. At Hastings, one carrier gets the full $100 raise, but he car­ ries all the. mail to Dowling, from, where another carrier is served. At Charlotte, two out ot the twelve car­ riers get $100 raise. AH the rural curriers in the country are howling about the new order, and there will likely be some lively discussions at the national meeting of the carriers’ association, which is to be held in Washington next week. Also It is altogether probable that Mr. Burle­ son and some other officials of the department will be asked to explain just how the hokus pokus or what­ ever it is was connived. The fact of the matter is that every carrier who has a full length route should receive at least $1,500 per year. Since the addition of the parcels post and the rapidly .growing amount of mail matter they hate to earn', a carrier will find it almost impossible to maintain his conveyances and make a livipg on. much less , than that amount, let alone laying aside anything for a rainy day. • �COUNTRY LETTERS VERMONTVILLE TOWNLINK. i BARRYVILLE.

Aug. 4.—According to pri­ vate and unofficial sources in the bouse of common* it is learned that the British government has present­ ed an ultimatum to Germany demand­ ing the instant withdrawal of German troops from the Luxembourg terri­ tory. It is generally believed among members of parliament that Great Britain will declare war before twen­ ty-four hours have passed. It is un­ derstood that the ultimatum came to an end without a favorable reply from Germany.

Brussels, Aug. 4.—The Belgian gov­ ernment has formally notified France that under existing circumstances she believes she needs to make no appeal to the powers guaranteeing her neu­ trality. Germany invaded Belgium and King Albert left for the front to take com­ mand of the Belgian troops which will oppose the advance of the Ger­ man forces. The king will return and preside at a special session of parliament at which he will make an important an­ nouncement. It i* believed here the announcement will be the formal dec­ laration of war against Germany. Sought to Invade Belgium. The kafeer's demand that Belgium permit the passage through her ter­ ritory of the German troops met flat defiance at the hands of King Al­ bert. Germany has notified Belgium that she would treat her as an enemy un­ less the Belgians consented to main­ tain an attitude at friendly neutral­ ity and demanded an answer to the ultimatum within twelve hours.

There was not a single mo­ ment to spare when he could go into the highways and byways of a great city to search, as he had searched be­ fore when the man was bls friend. He could not delegate the task to another. He had prepared a tele for the public of Merry’s whereabouts. Oswald believed the actor was study­ ing his part and stood ready to appear at a moments' notice. Enoch went ahead with the tremendous load of de­ tail that fell upon him, toiling day and night, while his mind alternated be­ tween terror and hope. Every day the man w;as acquiring traits new to his nature. When astrange accident had tossed before him the possibility of satisfying hta dearest ambition, consc.ence entreat­ ed loudly against tbe theft of another man's life-work. Every noble Instinct In Enoch made Its appeal; his honesty, his generosity, an innate demand tor fair play, the love of his stater and friend, all cried aloud to him dur­ ing the lonely hours of the nigh*.. There had been moments when he would have gladly retraced his steps, but the die had been cast. He was like a racer who, by some treacherous ruse, bad pushed aside an opponent and was close to the goal. The Intoxi­ cation of applause was beginning to sound in his ears and the future held untold possibilities. It was too late to. turn back; it would mean Uie down­ fall of great ambitions and bitter shame—It might even mean crime. It seemed easier to pike the chances. Occasionally Andrew's dogged face flashed back to his memory- when be cried, "I will see what the law can do to protect a man from theft." Ekioch felt hts face blanch at the thought of it. Many a man had gone down and out tor a crime less knavish than this. But he knew. Andrew Merry well, and he trusted io one trait which was predominant In the man—bls queer, exaggerated idea of honor. Day by day bis conscience quieted down, self-confidence took the place of wavering, and the fear of exposure seemed to recede. At last he could look the situation in the face without flinching.

The amount of joy In one's life Is not at all dependent upon the amount of money one spends.

Washington, Aug. 4.—The United States is preparing for every emer­ gency caused by the European war. President Wilson told his callers. There Is no cause for excitemenL he added. "We must act together as Ameri­ cans, and see that America does not suffer.” he stated. He said that the war need not affect the United States ip the long run. The present condition of tbe United States is sound and she owes it to the wqrid to keep her self-possession, continued the presidenL He would take gride in whatever calmness of thought and steadiness of purpose the nation showed in the present crisis. “Don't Add to Excitement" President Wilson spoke as follows concerning the war situation at his nee with the newspaper men: Liemen, before you question me, I want to say this. I believe it is really unnecessary, but I always want to tell you what is In my mind. It is extremely necessary. It is manifest­ ly necessary In the present state of affairs on the other side of the waters, that you should be extremely careful not to add to the excitement In any "Europe Is in a highly excited state of mind, but the excitement ought not to spread to this country. So far as we are concerned, there Is no cause for excitement "I want to have the pride of stat­ ing that America, If nobody else, has her self-possession and stands ready with calmness of thought and steadi­ ness of purpose to help the rest of the world. And we can do it and reap great permanent glory out of doing it providing we all co-operate to see that nobody loses his head.** House Passes Two Bills. In addition to the bill authorizing the appropriation of >250,000 for the relief of Americans traveling in Eu­ rope. which was adopted by both de­ partments of congress, the bouse passed three emergency measures. Amendment to currency law to fa­ cilitate issue of new currency by na­ tional banks. Administration measure removing restrictions on registering of foreign vessels uijder American flag; provi­ sion that vessel must be owned in this country is retained, but will be amend­ ed so that ships chartered by Ameri­ cans can be registered The senate meanwhile passed the Weeks measure permitting naval ves­ sels to carry freight, mail and passen­ gers—a service hitherto confined to South American ports. The senate also adopted the Gallinger resolution regretting the European war. The currency measure was passed by the senate Friday. The house and senate both amended it and ft was sent to conference. All Big Exchanges Closed. New York. Aug. 1.—The New York Stock Exchange was closed on account of the European situation. The Con­ solidated Stock Exchange, the New York curb market and the cotton and coffee exchanges also ceased businessThis was followed immediately by an­ nouncements of the closing of ex­ changes in the -other chief cities throughout the country. The New York exchange was closed by the board of governors after a meeting of leading financiers was held at the office of J P. Morgan. The de­ cision of this meeting that the Euro­ pean situation was too dangerous to permit of trading here was immediate­ ly transmitted to tbe beard of gover­ nors. who acted promptly. Following the announcement e of three failures on tbe cotton exchange, and the panicky state of trading which marked tbe opening, the cotton mar­ ket was closed soon after the openImmense Gold Shipment The movement of gold to Europe, which has reached unprecedented pro­ portions during tbe last few days, was continued. Two engagements were made, amounting to 32,500,000. The steamship St Louts, which sailed for Europe, carried the largest amount of gold ever taken from any port of the world on a single vessel. The total value of the cargo was 311.025,000. The total on this movement of gold in five days aggregates 345,435,000. The amount of tbe outflow of the metal since January is 3123,835,000. ■ Ptomaine Poisoning Kills Two. Los Angeles. Cal., Aug. 1.—After par­ taking of a family dinner at the home of Mrs. J. C.

All wire communi­ cation between Belgium and Germany has been severed. The most striking feature of the German ultimatum was that Bel­ gium should place at the disposition of the German army the torts of Namur. Following Belgium’s refusal to accept this ultimatum, another German note, couched tn more force­ ful language, wae handed to the Bel­ gium ambassador. Negotiations in con­ sideration of the latter note are now proceeding. Washington Asks About Liner. Washington, Aug. 4.—This govern­ ment is investigating a report that the steamer Kronprlnzessin Cecilie has been * taken in charge by British cruisers. The gold bullion she carries is regarded as neutral until delivered to the English and French consignees. New York merchants Interested in the millions ot gold bullion on the liner Kronprlnzessin Cecilie told the state department they had unconfirmed re­ ports of the ship’s arrival at a German port and asked for confirmation, which the department was unable to give. Invasion of France Means War. Paris, Aug. 4.—The invasion of French territory by German troops is regarded in official circles here as making war between the two coun­ tries start automatically without aformal declaration. Land and Sea Forces Clash. Berlin, Aug. 4.—The war between Germany and Russia was opened by both the land and sea forces of the kaiser. In ^turn, Russian troops invaded Germany, but little fighting has taken place on German soil. The first invasion of Russia began when the first battalion of the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth infantry, with a machine gun company, occupied Kalisz In Russian Poland, after having made a rapid advance from Ostrowo, Prussian Poland. A sharp skirmish took place when the Germans encoun­ tered the Russian frontier guards. Following Germany’s initial move­ ment upon the czar's soil came reports of other skirmishes. Battle Looked For. Skirmishes on the border have been reported, but it is not thought the casualties were heavy, cs the fighting was between small detachments of the border guard of Germany and the Cos­ sacks. A battle is expected when the Rus­ sian troops reach Kalisz. The general direction from which re­ ports of fighting come indicates that the first great battle of the struggle between Germany and Russia will be fought in northwestern Prussia. Two Naval Battles. While her army was busy encroach­ ing upon Russian territory and fight­ ing back the invading army of. tbe czar, Germany's navy began the naval conflict by bombarding the harbor at Libau. on the Baltic. The cruiser Augsburg sent the following report to Berlin by wireless: "Am bombarding naval harbor at Libau and am engaged with the ene­ my's cruiser. The naval port of Libau is in flames." The army of the czar is also report­ ed here to have invaded Austria and to be moving against Lemberg, a city of considerable Importance. Count von Pourtales, German am­ bassador to Russia, left St. Petrsburg with bls staff and members of the Ba­ varian legation for Berlin. , H. E.

He states that hundreds of men have literally gone out to the ends of the earth from this school antd are now working in 54 states and provinces and in 14 foreign lands. Among the instructors at the school were President H. C. King of Ober­ lin college. Prof. H. W. Foght. gov­ ernment specialist in rural educa­ tion. Dr. John Brown, Jr., health and recreation expert, Prof. J. M. Art­ man. expert in work witl* boys, and Henry Israel, editor of Rural Man­ hood. Secretary Vandercook will devote his attention this month to the discovery and enlistment .of workers with boys, to outline a leaders’ training course to be used this winter, and to completing the details of organization of the work of the county committee. AUGUST. August is the 'month when men sweat and women perspire. Women keep from really sweating by dobbing their pores of cosmetics. The little that does ooze through- is then called perspiration. It really is. ot course, old-fashioned odoriferious sweat that has lost Its dis­ tinctive qualities by being strained through an inch of scented enamel. August Is a hard month on kids and dogs. The barefoot kid has a hard time finding a place on either the ground or sidewalk that will not blister his feet, and evei^r dog must be careful to not let his tongue be seen, tor a dog with a tongue in August is a sure enough "mad dog" reeking with hydrophobia germs, and a bullet is coming his way. Then there are the August chautauquas, too. Every town has a Chautauqua in August. The Chau­ tauqua has had a record much like that of the newspaper—whpn the first one was started everybody said the United States would never sup­ port two. Weil, they sre noe sup­ ported as they should be. but every hamlet now has a newspaper, and if it doesn't have an annual Chautauqua the inhabitants are wondering how they can get one. If all the oratory that breaks loose on chautaugua platforms this month could be bound into one book, it probably would rep­ resent a collection of the world’s worst literature.

People say how strong public opin­ ion is; and, indeed, it is strong while it is in its prime. In its childhood and old age it is as weak as any other organism. I try to make my own work belong to the youth of public opinion. Tbe history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion, as geol­ ogy is the record of the decay of those bodily organisms in which public opin­ ions have found material expression. —Samuel Butler.

He didn’t say, how­ ever, whether they took turns about insisting and submitting.

Hard!” she shouted in dis­ gust. “I wasn’t thinking of the cow’s digestion. It’s my glory-de-John rose that worries me. I've tended it all winter, like a mother, and it was just coming into bloom. Them Mexicans have no right to keep cows in a re­ spectable neighborhood." The Mexican was a bete noir to the neighbors. He had arrived recently, and bought four lots. On these be was keeping half a dozen cows, and running a small dairy farm. He seemed to be circumventing the city ordi­ nance, which prohibited one person keeping more than one cow, by dis­ tributing the ownership of the animate among his children. The bad feature about the affair was that the family were casual about letting the cows roam off the premises. They had owned a large ranch in Mexico, before the revolution, and did not understand being confined to four city lots. "It’s too bad. Why don’t you go over and see them about it?” I sug­ gested mischievously, for I knew the Mexicans understood little or do Eng­ lish. “I will," Mrs. Farleigh said decided­ ly. ”1 have just cause for complaint” “You surely have.” I agreed. "It’s the proper thing to do.” Mrs. Farleigh trotted across the street, her anger rising as she went, and pushed the button beside the Mexican's front door. I was bad enough to take up a point of vantage behind a large leptospermum, to watch the burlesque, for I imagined my neighbor had not the Spanish. The Mexican woman appeared, and my neighbor started- the attack. “Your old cow has been and et my glory-deJohn rose," Mrs. Farleigh shouted. "Gloria de Juan, eenora!” the Mexi­ can woman exclaimed, in surprise. Juan was her eldest son. "De waun seniors nothing. Your cow, cow, cow," each time she spoke the word. Mrs. Farleigh pointed a fin­ ger viciously at the offending animal, which was contentedly ruminating over the flavor of rose bushes near by, “your cow has been et ’my glory-deJohn rose.” ' Tho Mexican woman was clearly puzxled. “La vaca gloria de Juan! No, no. Ordena la vaca." “Can’t you savvy English T" Mrs. Farleigh asked indignantly. “No hablo ingles.” "You have no English, eh?” Mrs. Farleigh resorted to pigeon English. Tapping the Mexican woman on the chest with a finger, Mrs. Farleigh de­ manded: “You no savvy?” •Tor the land’s sake. And I’ve been and left my housework to come over here and give you a bit of my mind.” The humor of the situation dawned on Mra. Farleigh. She placed her hands on her hips. and, with arms akimbo, laughed uproariously. Tho Mexican woman stared in aston­ ishment; then she caught the Infec­ tion, and joined in the laugh. There, on the Mexican’s porch, the two wom­ en stood, each seeming to try to outdo the other in her hilariousness. After a time, they became week-kneed from the effort, and sat on the top step and continued to laugh, wiping the tears that ran down their cheeks with the corners of their aprons.

Thrift isn’t a habit that is readily acquired late in life. Men who have to save after having formed extrava­ gant habits, do so grudgingly and. find saving a source of unhappiness. If they do not fail altogether, their thrift usually takes the form of stinginess and mean self-denial. The miser is usually a person who has cultivated nothing but a money­ hoarding passion after the passing of his best days. There Is no con­ nection between thrift and miserly practices. |They are as far apart as thrift and profligacy. Teaching a child to conserve his pennies will not make a miser of him. On the other band, it win endow him with a sence of owner­ ship and of responsibility. No better Instruction than that attend­ ing the cultivation of thrifty habit* can be devised. TEACH THEM THRIFT.

Wanted—A load of straw.- Many of us in this community devote more or less ot our time to the raising of produce of various kinds. We have vegetables, buttar, eggs; milk, etc., to sell. We find it a convenience to sell such products In the local stores. Some of our business men buy up the small quantities, as well os the larger lots, and ship all together to th® .more central markets. This facility for disponing of such articles is a great convenience to us. If the local storekeepers did not buy our produce It would be difficult for.us to find a market In fact, there would be no market for email quantities except at. ruinous prices. Therefore we are favored, to a very considerable extent, by the fact that our local storekeeper stands ready to buy from us. This places us under certain obligations. The local,storekeepers are entitled to some considera­ tion from us in return. HOW MANY OF US APPRECIATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT? How many of ua think of this when wo have some,cash to spend? How many of us consider that the local storekeeper la entitled to our trade and that we are morally bound to consider him as the proper repository for our orders and the recipient of our trade? It Is regrettable that many of us most plead guilty to an entire forgetful­ ness of any ’feeling of obligation. Therefore, we send our orders, with the cash, to the mall order houses, to whom we owe nothing. We are enticed by cleverly written advertisements and neatly worded descriptions of floods and merchandise so that we deceive ourselves Into be­ lieving them to be true. We forget the local storekeeffer and hie favors; we forget that he Is a benefit to the community and to every Individual In the community; we forget that he Is affording us an opportunity to dispose of our produce—that he has his money Invested In a stock of merchandise that he has selected because he believed wo would need such articles and would, wish to buy them at home. Every dollar we send-away from home to the mall order houses brings us closer to the limitations of our local opportunities Every dollar diverted from local trade adds to the restrictions of our trade facilities at home so that vr® are not only permitting, but we ar© inviting, our local merchants to close up shop and go out of badness; or to move to styne community where their efforts will bo more appreciated. • . By, our lack of appreciation we are urging our local storekeepers to re­ strict their efforts to carrying only-th© lines of merchandise that are the most profitable for them and to cut cut all gooda that we can buy. In the city. We are actually Inviting disaster. LET US AWAKEN TO A REALIZATION OF THE CONDITIONS WHICH CONFRONT VS. LET US PLACE SOME LIMITATIONS ON OUR DISRE­ GARD FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS AND LOOK INTO THE FUTURE. We can see what the consequences must be,if we fall to do our share toward supporting the establishments of our business men In towjj, for the handwriting Is written plainly cn the wall. Shall we read the writing and profit by the message or shall we continue to dance merrily and foolishly on until the time shall come when we must pay? And how shall we pay? . There will be only one wav to pay and that will be with much more than the profit we shall have derived from our dealings with the teail order houses. WE WILL PAY DEARLY UNLESS WE AWAKEN TO A FULL SENSE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES, AND AT ONCE. . We wish to dance, but let us change the tune—or the fiddler. POKEHEIMER TALES.

RE demand has grown among the Chautauqua patrons for at least one "headliner" upon each program. While the term admits of various meanings, it is generally understood that a “beadliner” is a man who has achieved pre-eminence In some field of human affairs. To have been the governor of a sovereign state ought to entitle any man to promi­ nence enough. But to have been twice governor confers more than double honor and distinction; also to have been, a governor universally loved and re­ spected at the close of his two administrations is cause for lifelong gratifica­ tion. Govei uor Robert 8. Vessey, ripe in years, rich in experience and humani­ tarian in purpose, came to the Chautauqua platform two years ago to give to the great audiences a few principles of conduct which he estimates are worth "thinking over.” Governor Vessey denies that be is an orator. He modestly says his purpose is simply to emphasize some wholesome but homely truths which he believes will if followed out lead to a better world and better people. In the truest sense of the word we believe that be is an orator. He is a stal­ wart defender of the home, the school and the church. He is interested hi the young. He honors the aged. He was the first governor of the United States to proclaim “Mother's day" a legal holiday. He is the enemy of graft, corrup­ tion and dishonesty. In his rugged though kindly fashion he wields sledge­ hammer blows at all that has the appearance of evil. His audiences love the man, heed his messages and heartily approve his lectures. No one should miss hearing Governor Vessey on the second night of our Chautauqua. Must Have Been.

ELLIS Candidate for the Republican Nomination for Governor He should be nominated because:— He is a candidate of the plain people and not of any clique or ring. He is a capable executive, as shown by his five suc­ cessive terms as mayor of Grand Rapids, the last time having the largest vote ever given any candidate for mayor in that city. 7"^°* He is said not to be a politician. Perhaps it is just as well. He is not tied to any man, or any set of men, or any faction. Has no ring in his nose. He is a friend of the working man and the farmer.» He believes in cutting out useless expenses and that public money should be spent as carefully as private money. If these reasons appeal to you, vote for George E. Ellis for candidate for Governor next Tuesday. NOTICE TO DESTROY WEEDS. NOXIOUS Pray and You Will Receive.

HAT If we should go to one of our local storekeepers and say: “Here is a ten-dollar bill : 1 want you to buy for me such-and-such an article, made so-and-so, this color, that size, and deliver it to me at your convenience—say 30 days." ' Along comes another townsman, and another, still another, until 50 of us, ail living here in our community, shall have placed in the hands of the storekeeper a sum amounting to a thousand dollars, with similar instructions. We would then have treated our local storekeeper with the same liberal­ ity as we, who have been buying of tho mall order houses, have treated these monopolistic concerns- We’would have then supplied him with cash capital sufficient to buy what we ordered and give him a fair profit on his deal. Yes, we would thus enable him to take a trip to the city, buy from the manufacturers the articles desired, ship them to us. spend a day or two enjoying himself If he so pleased, and leave him a fair percentage of profit over and above the cost of the articles and his expenses. DO WE DO THIS? YES. WE DO—NOT. B=t this is exactly what we do with the mall order man In the big city. We send him the money In advance. He has the use of our cash for the purchase of bis merchandise. Ho sends us whatever he chooses and if we < do not like it we can whistle for our money. He takes our money and buys that which we have ordered. Then he may take a trip to Europe If he so wishes, ail at our expense. Few of us realize that we, the people outside the big cities, furnish the capital for the conduct of the big mail order bouses. We do not stop to think that it Is our money which is building those great structures which are the pride of Chicago and some other cities. Wo do not stop to consider that we arc the capitalists who are supplying the sinews of war against our own local business men. JUST THINK OF IT—DIVIDENDS OF FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF DOL­ LARS PAID TO THE BIG MEN IN THE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS AS A PROFIT EACH YEAR ON OUR MONEY. We send the cash in advance to them. They require practically no in­ vestment except for the printing of their catalogs and other stationery. They . are doing their business on the money which we, poor, deluded country dwellers, send to them, when we are only cutting our own throats and help■ ing to diminish the prestige and strength of our local tradesmen. What would be the result if we should hand our dollars, in advance, to our local storekeepers and give them the same chance to make profits, with­ out Investment? What would be the effect on our community? It would mean prosperity for us all- It would mean more taxes to be paid by our business meh. Improvements of a municipal character, better school facilities, better street lighting, better paving, etc. Of course, our local storekeepers do not expect us to do business in this way. Yet why should we not? We do It with the mail order houses and when we are fooled we take our medicine because we are ashamed to let our friends know how we have been buncoed. But we should do this—we should give all of our business to those men who have made their investments in our town, who are trying to build up the community, who are paying the taxes and who are helping us to increase tho value of our real estate holdings. We all know that the value of our houses and lots, here In town, will be Increased as the community advances In prosperity, and the only way for the community to advance Is for our busi­ ness men to do an increased business. WE SHOULD PATRONIZE THE MEN WHO ARE TRYING TO HELP OURSELVES. We all hope to advance. We all hope to become prosperous. When we buy from the mall order house we are helping monopoly to put our storekeepers out of business. When we send a dollar to the big city, instead of spending It at home, we are depriving our children of some of I the opportunities for education which they are entitled to. Let us spend our dollars here at home, with the merchants who are try। Ing to keep up the schools and other local advantages which we cannot have j for our children unless we have a prosperous community. Let us not forget that the mall order man does not pay any of our taxes in this town. Tbe taxes are paid by the local business men. at least the : greater proportion, and the more business we do with them, the more taxes . they must pay. LET US WAKE UP TO A CONSIDERATION OF OUR R^ST IN­ I TERESTS LET US SUPPORT THOSE WHO HELP US, AND OUR CHILDREN. Quick & Co.

He thrust his hands deep in his overcoat pockets, his eyes were fixed on the whitening sidewalk* beside him. Dorcas turned to the opposite window and nodded with an eager gesture to the officer. His band went up. He spoke to tbe cabman in a low voice. "Drive round through University place to Tenth—then up toward Broadway. Pull up half-way down tbe block." . The man turned his 'horse and moved down the street CHAPTER IX. A Man of Honor. Dorcas breathed a sigh of relief when her cab drew up beside the bread line. She had thought during her brief drive around the block of the possibility that the man might leave his place; but there he stood, motion­ less, with head bent defiantly against the stinging eddies ot sleet. She stepped from the carriage and passed swiftly along the sidewalk beside the line of a city's poor. She hesitated for a few- seconds when she reached the corner, then she stretched out her hand and laid it on the wet sleeve of the man before her. He turned and stared at her for one dazed moment. He did not speak. Instinctive cour­ tesy reminded him that this was no place for a woman in a midnight storih. and his deaire to protect her caused the hunger to be forgotten.

The odor of hot coffee, the sight of a daintily -set table, the ra­ diance of a coal fire, the glow of redshaded lights, and ihe storm shut-out­ doors brought a .tingling pleasure which soerned like mere animal grati­ fication. He shivered for a moment as be listened to the storm. He won­ dered what had made it possible for him to brave homelessness and hun­ ger and squalor. Looking back on it he realized he had borne It as a man lives through pain under the power of an anesthetic. The miser)! of his mind had dulled the sordid wretchedness of mere existence. To Merry that supper was a festival, not wholly because It was the satis­ fying of ravenous appetite, but because It was the crisis if his life. Dorcas sensed that if ber own hunger was real. Merry would not feel that she was feeding a famished outcast. Jason beamed upon them in sheer enjoyment when he brought in full dishes and carried away empty ones. Dorcas was light-hearted and gay, as happy as they had been during their first ac­ quaintance at the shore. For a mo­ ment, while Merry drank his coffee, the memory of a few horrible weeks Intruded on the present "Miss Ddrcas," he began abruptly. ‘•Why did you—" She stretched out her hand appeal­ ingly. "Don't bring in whys—now. We are so comfortable. 1 don't ask for an ex­ planation—I don't want to give any. Can't you see I'm in Happy Valley for a little while? I am so glad to have you here again." Merry smiled Into her eyes. "I’ll obey you, bless your gentle heart!" The girl rose and reached to a shelf behind her for a box ot cigars. Merry lit one, lounged back in a cushioned chair, and puffed rings of smoke toward? the red fire. They sat in silence after Jason hnrt carried awav the dishes. Their quiet was broken when the clock struck one. The man started. "Miss Dorcas, you wanted me here to talk. 1 cannot rob you of a night's sleep." "1 am as wide awake as a cricket I slept all the afternoon." "First of all,” Merry asked gravely, “how did yap find me? Scores of men and women passed me day after day, people I have known for years. Not one of them recognized me.” "They were not searching for you." “You were?" Dorcas nodded. "How did you find me?” he per­ sisted. “Last night on my way home from the theater with Mr. Oswald our cab stopped in a block, and. it was opposite where—(hat line of men stood. I was looking at them when I saw you pull down your hat When Mr. Oswald left me here I drove back to Tenth street but the line had dispersed. I went again tonight—Just hoping.” "Who is Mr. Oswald?" asked Merry abruptly. "Don't you know ? Haven't you been reading the papers? Mr. Oswald is the man who is putting on your play.” "My play?" Andrew dropped his half-smoked gIgar on the table. "Your play'," repeated Dorcas tn a quiet tone. “They have been search­ ing everywhere for you to play 'John Esterbrook.* Enoch is In Montreal now, looking for you." Merry laughed harshly. The girl clasped her hands together. "Mr. Merry, tell me, are you and Enoch no longer friends?" • Andrew picked up bls cigar and puffed it until the red spark revived. Then he laughed again. "We are not exactly friends. Has he told you any­ thing?" "Yes, he told me—only It seemed so strange, so hard to believe after our talk that day at the point, that somehow I cannot understand it” Merry watched her keenly, lie was throttling a temptation to tell every­ thing that had come between him and the sunshine of existence. He felt sere of the girl’s sympathy; he knew she would understand. He bad begun to realize bis own dependent nature. First there had been his mother, then fob years be had leaned upon Enoch's strength and friendship. When he was left alone It was outer darkness. Every fiber of his being longed not so much for redress as for understanding and sympathy. “Miss Dorcas, I will begin at the day when I left you and—** Suddenly he realised be could not tell the story of Enoch's disloyalty to her. "Miss Dorcas, I need your help—terribly.” “I am ready to help you In any way I can," she answered quietly. She knew he was nerving himself to a confees Ion. and she understood what an ordeal It was to the man. She crossed the room and laid a paper before him. pointing to the bold headlines stretched across the top of a page- The words fairly leaped at Merry. (TO BS CONTiNUUU Not Hie Fault.

HARRY G VT?T HE great conflicting currents that underlie the surface of human exist­ ence and the problems of society that have been allowed to go un­ solved in tbe struggle for commercial supremacy during the past fifty years are now burning issues with which the country is confronted. How to meet these and what to do are questions difficult to answer. There has been and is much discussion regarding them. But many of those who are considered authorities along the lines of social work have nothing to offer in the way of solution except an array of facts with which we are all more or less familiar. Dr. Harry G. Hill, our lecturer on the fourth day. is not one of this latter type. He does not simply present a few statistics. He tells you conditions as they are and then suggests bow they should be and what should be done to make them that way. Years of experience as a prominent social worker and as pastor of some of the largest churches in the country, including the Peo­ ple's church of Indianapolis, have given Dr. Hill a view of life not held by many. He has met people on their respective levels, and be knows them. His lectures are great messages that give you a different view of life and some­ thing to consider. Dr. Hill Is more than n lecturer and a social worker; he is an orator of the first rank and a humorist You will be interested, attracted and entertained by him. What be says you will long consider and Just as long how be said it He will deliver at the Chautauqua tlther his lecture, “Heroes In Overalls.” which has made him famous in the Chautauqua field, or “Sugar For Sour Grapes.” and where desired his latest success, a community lecture.

Over 95 per cent of the grain harvested in this country is bound by harvesting machines and less than five per. cent of it is bound by hand. What do you think of the ones who are so far behind the times'as to be binding by hand? Over 95 per cent of the business of this country is done by bank checks instead of the handling of money because it is the safest and most convenient way of doing business. There is no reason why ninety-nine per cent of the business should not be done in this way. The few people who are not using the ■ conveniences offered by a bank such as This, are placing themselves in the same class as the ones who are not up to date in other respects. You should have a check account at this bank. Come and let us explain how simple it is. Farmers & Merchants BanK THE BANK THAT CAN DO THINGS FOR YOU. CAPITAL ANO SURPLUS >50,000.

FRENCH ABANDON ALSACE Killed and Wounded In Stupendous , Three Day Clash at Charleroi Out.number Casualltie* of Any ii London, Aug. 25.—Germany has won Mr m qwo. d.j.-.hpuiM1 cbwieroi, Belgium, against the French and English army. ’ . The press, bureau of the war office announces that the Germans have taken the first line and that the French and English have buun forced to fall back inside the French frontier. The battle has been by far the bloodiest the modern world has ever known. No one will undertake to esti­ mate the iOKse*. The war office merely n and Grimmcnt toward clennes, one by way of Lesslnes and the third toward Hal, Bralne-le-Compte and Mons. The line of battle extends in the rough form of a letter ”Z" for perhaps one hundred miles. The upper part of the line runs from Audenarde to a point south of Brussels. Thence the direction is southwesterly Co Mons, and from Mons in a general easterly direction by way of Charleroi. Luttre and down the Sambre river toward Na­ mur. Charleroi was* taken and lost, taken and lost, nobody yet knows how many times In the course of that three-day grapple. That is why the war office will not even undertake to guess what may be the loss In lives. In places along that 100-mile front the Germans broke through the line of the allies, at fearful cost of life, and were hurled back as the French art!' lery rushed to the rescue from some reserve spot and poured a hall of shrapnel on the Invaders. At other points the Germans, shelling the al­ lies* position steadily for hours, would make a magnificent infantry charge, facing first artillery fire, then the machine guns, and lastly the French and English riflemen, with splendid gallantry, and finally were k>roed back —sometimes repulsed from' some es­ pecial pofcit, but never beaten—never really defeated. Three days of this, with the dead ly­ ing in windrows over hid and-valley and plain,* and the uqceabing moan of wounded rising like a dirge from that hundred miles of battle front Three days of charge and counter-charge, with the heroic defense of the allies equaled only by the magnificent cour­ age of the invade**, until finally, by sheer force of strength and persist­ ence. which crowded Two men forward wherever one fell, the Germans broke the line. And this battle was decided. London is gloomy. Though the war office had already discounted the de­ feat and warned the people to bo ready to bear temporary reverses with fortitude, a victory had been expected. Now there is a renewal of the fear of raid? by Zeppelin craft with bombs. Italy Mobilizes 800,000. Paris, Aug. 25.—Dispatches received from Geneva report that the Italian army has been raised to 800,000 men and that Italian troops are concentrat­ ing on the Austrian frontier. Italy has replied to Austria's Impor­ tunities repeatedly that she will insist upon maintaining her neutrality even to the point of using force against her ally. The French frontier of Switzerland virtually has been stripped of Its gar­ risons. owing to partial mobilization by individual sumnrcns and not by public orders. Germans Capture Brussels. Ghent, Belgium, A*g. 22.—Brussel* which since 1631 have been the Belgian capital, has been occupied by the Germans. King Albert arrived tn Ant­ werp and the government has been established there. • The Belgian army, which, by its brave resistance, has delayed the op­ erations of the kaiser** army, is fall­ ing bacl^ upon Antwerp, where it will make its final stand if the Ger­ man army attempts to capture that stronghold. The first German troops that en­ tered Brussels, according to Informa­ tion received here, were three regi­ ments of Uhlans. By orders of the Largomaster no Resistance was of­ fered. The last of the Belgian troop* bad withdrawn several hours before the advance troop* of the German army appeared. "The killed and wounded already outnumber those of any battle of mod­ ern time*. The figure* are *o stupen­ dous as to mean very little.” Pressing steadily after the retreat­ ing allies, the gigantic invading force of the kaiser, estimated at 2,000,000 men, now has a firm footing on French ■oil.

A well served meal is not possible without a wellconstructed range. Worn out, fuel wasting ranges are not only extravagant with fuel and flour, but try the nerves and temper of the good housewife. But if you get a genuine Round Oak Chief range, you will have no such troubles, as they are guaran­ teed to be made of the best material and workman­ ship; also in the latest styles and finishes, with or without legs. Come in and let us show you our full line of ranges in 'Round Oak, Peninsular and Gar­ lands, and we will save you some money. C.L. GLASGOW -------------------------------------- ' > CVU/CKS CASH'*.

By dwelling In communities we have many ad van tap:* Some of u* value and appreciate these advantages while others selfishly accept the ad­ vantages but retuse to co their share toward maintaining the community. Laws have boAn enacted to compel us to pay taxes—used for lhe finan­ cial support of communities for our protection. BUT THERE ARE NO LAWS WHICH COMPEL THE MEMBER OF ANY COMMUNITY TO SHOW APPRECIATION OF THE BENEFITS DE­ RIVED FROM LIVING IN A COMMUNITY. One of the benefits of living in a community is the opportunity furnished us to buy merchandise . equired for our comfort and indulgence, right here in our own town. This facility permits us to buy what wc need when we need tL We can step into a -store, lay down a dollar and buy a dollar's worth of goods. Perhaps we can get the goods without paying the dollar down in cash—that is, if we have the credit. What a genuine benefit it is to be able to do this. In the olden days our forefathers were compelled to drive many miles to a store where the merchandise might be obtained. Large quantities were bought at a time because the trip to the store could not be made at frequent intervals. As our citizens increased in numbers and gathered into communities, stores were established at the various centers of the Increasing population until now we ean buy, right at home, our necessities and luxuries. That which we value we endeavor to protect If we value the facility for purchasing goods at borne we should protect it The best way to protect*lt Is to make It possible for the storekeepers to continue to do business. If we do not help them to continue to do business here In our community the natural consequence wilt be for them to cloee up their stores and go out of business. If we buy from our local storekeepers only such merchandise as wo cannot buy conveniently elsewhere, we will soon discover that the stores will carry only such restricted lines of goods as are in demand by the peo­ ple who live here. , Then we will find out that we are not much better off than our fore­ fathers were. We must send away for ouch merchandise as we require. We must wait until the order has been received tn the mall order house and filled in the due courea of time by the employes patronizing. There are many disadvantages in this method, We do not* fully realize them now. But they will come home to us when conditions arrive which compel us to buy everything by . mall—If such time does come. However, If ‘look ‘ atI the '* matter in the right light we will not _permit such a contingency to arrive. • Why should we be deluded Into sending our money away from home be­ cause of tho fulsome and flattering descriptions in a mall order catalogue? Why should we prefer the questionable qualities In merchandise as exploited by a catalogue writer to the honest, dependable goods which we can see bofore us In our own local stores? Do we save money by buying from the mall order houses? When the matter of freight and express charges have been figured out, when the ques­ tion of delays, unsatisfactory shipments, breakage, damaged goods, etc., have been answered, where is the profit. If any? ) ON THE OTHER HAND. THE LOCAL MERCHANT IS ALWAYS RE­ SPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HE SELLS. The purchaser can examine any article for sale in the local store and buy only that which is satisfactory. It will be delivered without delay. If there is any imperfection It will be quickly remedied. * If there is any shortage In the delivery it will be supplied at once. A personal call or a telephone message will arrange everything quickly. And when It comes to prices you will always get full value for your money when dealing with the local storekeeper. He buys bls merchandise In the market and he sells it at a profit to us. He asks only a modest profit and he is entitled to It We should be perfectly willing to pay him a profit for his investment for his labor and for his ability to save us rime, trouble and money.

Tokyo, Aug. 24 —Japan's fleet began operation against Kiauchau. immedi­ ately following the Japanese imperial government’s declaration of war against Germany. Simultaneously an expeditionary land force was sent aboard transports for the purpose of attacking Kiauchau from the rear. The German ambassador was hand­ ed his passports and will board an American vessel In this port next Thursday.

Aug. 24.—Japan's dec­ laration of war against Germany, which was proclaimed in Tokyo was delivered to Counselor Lansing of the state department by Baron Chlnda. the Japanese ambassador. It was assumed at the Japanese em­ bassy here that the Japanese navy be­ gan Its attack on Tsingtau, the great German fortress commanding the Kiauchau leasehold. Immediately upon the issuance of the declaration of war. The Japanese embassy reported that at a conference of the Japanese cabi­ net. the privy council and the high officers of the army and navy. It was decided to confine operations to that section ot China east of the Yellow river. The formal declaration of war fol­ lowed Germany's refusal to reply to an ultimatum demanding the evacua­ tion of Kiauchau. territory which Ger­ many holds under lease from China on the Yellow sea. Japan also demanded that Germany withdraw entirely from the far East. The declaration of war b&ars the title "Imperial rescript’- snd reads as follows: "We. by the grace of heaven, emper­ or of Japan, seated on the throne oc­ cupied by the same dynasty from time Immemorial, do hereby make the fol­ lowing proclamation to all our loyal and brave Subjects: “We hereby declare war against Germany, and we command our army and navy to carry on hlstilitles against that empire with all their strength, and we also command all our competeet authorities to make every effort tn pursuance of their respective duties to attain the national alm by all means within the limits of the law of nations. "Since the outbreak of the present war In Jhir-pe the calamitous effects of which we view with grave concern, we on our pa«t have entertained hopes of preserving the peace of the far East by thexmaintenance of strict neutral­ ity, but the action of Germany has at length compelled Great Britain, our ally, to open hostilities against that country and Germany is at Kiauchau. its leased territory. In China, busy with warlike preparations, while Its armed vessels, cruising the seas of eastern Asia, are threatening our commerce and that o' our ally. Peace of the far East is thus in Jeopardy. Tt Is ou.- earnest wish that by the loyalty and valor of our faithful sub­ jects a peace may soon bo restored and the glory of the empire be en­ hanced" The declaration was not officially transmitted to the German 'govern­ ment. since it took the form merely of a proclamation to the people of For Sale—Wolverine hay press.

What do you think of the ones who are so far behind the times as to be binding by hand? Over 95 per cent of the business of this country is done by bank checks instead of the handling of money because it is the safest and most convenient way of doing business. There is no reason why ninety-nine per cent of the business should not be done in this way. The few people who are not using the conveniences offered by a bank such as this, are placing themselves in the same class as the ones who are not up to date in other respects. You should have a check account at this bank. Come and let us explain how simple it is. Farmers & Merchants Bank THE BANK THAT CAN DO THINGS FOR YOU. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS $60,000.

Reports from St. Petersburg declare that Russia's in­ vasion of Germany has been success­ ful along the whole line of battle. Germans Are Repulsed. German troops have been forced to abandon several points held by them along the Vistula river which marks a line of great strategic value. The northern Russian army is en­ gaging the Germans south of Kocnlgsberg, which is now in a state of siege, and further south the Austrians are being assailed near Lemberg In. Aus­ trian Galicia. More than 3,000 Aus­ trians were killed and many prisoners taken in this engagement up to the time of the latest reports from St Petersburg. British Lose 6,000 In Battle. The losses to the British army In the lighting between August 23 and 26 were between five and six thousand, according to the estimate of Field Mar­ shal Sir John French. But an official statement announces that a sufficient number of fresh troops have been sent to the British forces in France to more than doubly make up for the losses in battle. In the language of the war of­ fice announcement, “every gunner has been replaced and the army Is now ready for the next great battle." Through the official press bureau the admiralty also announced that the losses Incident to the battle of Heligo­ land fight were two officers and 27 men killed and 36 wounded.

France Raising New Army. London, Sept 1.—While the center ot the allied army is again engaged in a desperate battle with tbe rushing Germans, France is raising another army of 600,000 men. Great Britain is pouring a fresh army over the chan­ nel. Paris is leveling all bouses in the fortifications about tbe city, and as a final preparation for a long siege, a plan is said to be afoot to remove the government to Bordeaux. The great battle, the first to be fought inside the French frontier. Is now raging along a front of 100 miles, from Montherme, between Charlevllle and Gipet to Villers in the department of Somme, in tbe northwest. It is officially admitted by the Paris war office that the left of the allied line has been steadily pushed back, and there is fighting reported at Le Fere, only sixty miles from Paris. • Germans Renew Their Attack. The Germans renewed the battle in the morning before ten o'clock, rush­ ing fresh troops instead of those bat­ tered so heavily in the Belgium cam palgn, and trying their favorite tactics of attack in force and at the same time turning the right flank. A battle Is being fought between the Meuse river and Bethel and shows a still further falling back on Paris of tbe allied troops, a further shortening of their line, and another forward step by the German host. Battle Line Is Like Ci escent. The French line now extends, rough­ ly speaking, from Villers, in the form of a crescent, to Belfort Villers Is Just northeast of Amiens, due north ot Paris about eighty piles. From there the battle line runs in an eastward di­ rection, bending In toward Paris at La Fere, only sixty-five miles from the capital Tho northwest end of this line is at Montherme, east of Rocroy. From Montherme the line runs southeasterly,** but Is again bent In to­ ward Paris at Mezieres and Charleville, where it seems the Germans have forced a passage of the Meuse river. Bethel is about one hundred and twenty-five miles northeast of Paris, and 25 miles northeast of the powerful French fort of Rheims. Beyond the Bethel battleground the French line runs to Verdun, Nancy, । Epinal and Remirefont to Belfort. Says British Are Cut Off. The German war office Issued a bul­ letin in which it claims that the Brit­ ish are now cut off. The bulletin was received here through The Hague. It declares that a strong German column is now interposed between the British field army and the cities where their re-enfqrcements have been landed, and that the British must now receive sup­ plies by another and longer route. It is freely predicted that Paris will be in the hands of tbe kaiser's men in a few days more. “Take Paris or die!" are the orders of Kaiser Wilhelm, known to every soldier in the German army, says the London Times correspondent at Os­ tend, quoting at second-hand a Ger­ man officer at Brussels. “Our army is making a frantic ef­ fort to crush the allies, especially the British troops," said this officer. "We have achieved wonderful succrts, but there is a feeling among the troops that we are pitted against too heavy odds." Berlin Claims Victories. A Berlin war office statement, tele­ graphed here, says: “On the Franco-Belgian frontier Generals von Kiuk, von Buelow and von Hausen have steadily driven back the British and French armies which have opposed the German advance toward Paris. "Tbe English troops sent to France have been cut off from their base and will be unable to receive re-enforce.ments. The entire campaign as mapped out by the German general staff has London, Sept. 1.--Fears that Tur­ key will enter tho arena of war and call out her hordes in an attempt to regain territory lost in tho Balkan conflict grew hourly. The British for­ eign office has received no mes­ sage from England's ambasador at Constantinople for two days, which Is unusual despite tho delay over all tele­ graph wires on the continent The Exchange Telegraph's diplomat­ ic agent states that Turkey may de­ ciare war against Greece at any mo­ ment "The situation is extremely grave,” he says. "Germans are pouring Into Constantinople to help the Turks, but the porte has been warned that it signs its own death warrant if it be­ gins hostilities.” This expert falls to state the source of his information, but he is usually reliably informed. When the cruisers Goeben and Bres­ lau were purchased by Turkey it was thought that she would maintain her neutrality, but Germany’s success tn tho western theater of war has influ­ enced her toward participation in tbe conflict 430 Austrians Slain. Cottlnje, Sept. 1.—Defeat of 3,000 Austrians with 430 killed and many taken prisoners wjjen they attacked tbe Montenegrin position on Mount Lovtchen was announced by the Motenegrin government.

But that which in desirable and in demand possesses a value accord­ ing to Its desirability—the value being regulated by the demand. Farm lands vary tn values according to their location, their productive qualities and their accessibility to the markets. The character of crops must be regulated according to the market at hand and every community necessarily directs the character of the product brought to town by the farm era. There must be a market for the farmer. There must bo some place where he can realize on hie crops and receive In exchange a fair value In money or In such merchandise as will supply the necessities of those dependent on hie efforts—to cay nothing of the luxuries that have become practically ne­ cessities. ' The day has gone by when the farmer and his family raised and produced by home manufacture all the things needed. We have become creatures of conditions entirely new. We must have stylish clothing to take tho place of the home-spun worn by our forefathers. We must have pianos and organs, upholstered furniture, chinaware, crockery, tinware, aluminum utensils, self­ binding harvesters, threshing machines, together with modern machinery and tools of all kinds. Our wives and daughters must have millinery and all sorts of foLde-rols which, bless them, they are entitled to have and to wear. Our day Is no longer a period of appreciation of beauty unadorned or a disregard for the good things of life. We need, or we think we need, which Is the same thing, a lot of things which cannot be produced on the farm, therefore we incline our motives and our endeavors to obtain such things. In answer to the demand for such things we hsve established communi­ ties for a general exchange of these things; for the exchange of the farm prod­ ucts for money and for merchandise. Now that we have established a standard of values for everything we figure everything In dollars and cents and if we are dealing with a storekeeper who carries a stock of the things, we require and wish to buy and who wishes to buy that which we have to sell, there is no bother about making the deal. In our community we have storekeepers who have equipped their places of business with everything we need. They have invested their money In merchandise just as the farmers have invested their money and their time in lands and machinery and cattie and in crops. In this manner there has been created a certain market for a proportion of the crops raised by our farmers. The marketing of the balance of the crops Is readily attended to by the mere fact that we have a community, a beadquarters for buying and selling; the greater the size of the community, the better facilities. IF A COMMUNITY 18 POOR AND UNPROSPEROUS, THEN THE FARMER CANNOT MARKET HIS CROPtf SO PROFITABLY. The prosperity of a community rests entirely with the people in that com­ munity, this, of course. Including those who live on the outskirts and who really form a part of the community, because of the fact that they do their marketing there. If they bring their products to the community market and •ell them there and then spend their money with the local business men, the community will grow and prosper. Land values will Increase and the earnest tollers and workers will become wealthy. But if either tbe farmers or the storekeepers fall to do tbelr full share tn the way of complying with the business requirements then there will be a lack of success and the community will not grow or prosper. Land values will not increase. There is a division of responsibility, practically equal. The interests of the storeseepers and of the farmers must come together. Without a due appreciation of these requirements, no community can look for progress. If the storekeepers do not carry the merchandise ready to meet the re­ quirement* of the farmers they realize that they cannot expect to do the busi­ ness. But the failure Is not here. The great trouble in our community, now, is that the shower of mall order catalogues has descended on tbe land and the farmers are Inclined to believe that no harm can come of diverting their trade from the local store­ keepers to the mall order houses tn tbs big cities. We must keep our money in circulation In our own town. We must pro­ tect our local storekeepers. We must create and build up conditions of pros­ perity right here at home or there will be no Increase In land values. In fact, they will decrease If we send our money to the mall order houses.

Wc have received several requests from subscribers to pub­ lish the following po;m by Douglas Malloch. with which we com­ ply with pleasure, as we think it is one of the best things that brilliant author ha* ever written. There are fancier towns than the little old town, There are towns that are bigger than this; And the people who live in the tinier town All the city excitement may miss. There arc things you can see in the wealthier town That you can’t in a town that is small— And yet, up or down. There is no other town Like your own little town, after all. It may be that the street through the heart of the town Isn't long, isn't wide, isn't straight; But the neighbors you know in your own little town With a welcome your coming await. On the glittering streets of the glittering town. By the palace and pavement and wall. In the midst of the throng. You will long, you will long. For your own little town, after ail. It is here by the stile in your own little town Father courted your mother, a maid; It was here In the vale in your own little t> *n That he builded a home in the shade. It was here on the hill in your own little town That the school and the book you recall— Ev’ry step of the way, So your memories say. A It's your own little town, after all. For it isn't by money you measure a town, Or the miles that Its border extends; For tbe best things you gather, whatever the town. Are contentment, enjoyment, and friends. you live and you work and you trade in your town. In spite of the fact it is small. You'll find that tbe town, That your own little town. Is the the best little town, after all. Douglas Malloch. Metal Railroad Ties.

He had an Idol—it was his horse. t When the ' bright^ earnest-faced young fellow was not dashing over the ranges, he was ministering to the needs of the splendid animal, or des­ canting upon its merits and bequty. "Reasbn to brag?" he was wont to say—"I think- it! There was the brother. Spitfire, dappled, but hand­ some us a girl. 11, id to sell him—all mischief. Yes, more than that—dev­ ilish. when tbe reckless mood came over him. For a month- Snowball mourned. Say, it was human-like. He used to lean over the gate looking straight across the river, tbe direction in which Spitfire had gone. The hostler used to tell of how he groaned nights. Sobbing, I called it. Over it now. and the king of the range.’’ This fact no rival ranchman ever attempted or dared to combat, after the Valley massacre during an‘ In­ dian uprising. That was au episode Bruce loved to tell about Hemmed In, he had fought his way through a honle of tbe dusky savages. Snowball, with hoofs and head assisting, a rescued woman and her baby at the saddle bow, warning word taken of the massacre to the nearest agency at runaway speed. "There was never another Snovball. there never will be." was the staunch sentiment of the proud owner of tbe famous steed . Those were bright, brisk days for I *he tanch outrider. And then they beI camo halcyon. Una Dacre from tho east came to Station Ten.

Snowball was in sight, apd swaying tn the saddle, a superb horsewoman. Una bad never seemed so lovely—or dear to him. He bad sighed forth the hopelessness of the love he dared not express. Now alarm drove e-ery other sentiment from hl* mind. A thrill, piercing cry, almost a scream had. suddenly rent the still air. On the opposite side of the river a horse and rider bad come Into view. At'some unusual sight the horse had suddenly reared, threw Its rider and, dashing up to the very edge of the bank, stood uttering forth that echo­ ing challenge which Bruce had heard. "Spitfire!" exclaimed Bruce, and he recognized, the dismounted rider as the man to whom he had sold the mate of Snowball over a year agone. And. then his heart stood still. An answering call, glad, riotous, delirious rang out from Snowball. He had seen bis old friend. All was forgotten of discipline, of gentleness. Onco more he was on his native plains racing with the companion of his early years. "She is lost!” died In the ranch­ man’s throat. "Oh, my love! my love! And I helpless!” Snowball had disdained curb, bit and spur. He .had veered and was making for the point where the road was unguarded. More than once the daring steed - had sprung do^vn that treacherous reach, had swum the river and gloried in the adventure. In a flash Bruce knew that once Snowball started down that steep in­ cline Una was doomed. A misstep, a stumble would be fatal. Superb horse­ woman as she was, she could not re­ tain her seat 'T’ve got to do it—for her sake!" is­ sued from Bruce Telford's lips in a hollow gro^p. He had less than two minutes in which to acL if he would save tho woman he loved—but oh! the terrible sacrifice. With a sob he raised bls rifle. He > was a sure shot. Ipang—crack! And J Snowball fell not regards from the verge of the dreadful precipice. Bruce saw the animal quiver, stumand fall inert. He saw Una extri­ cate herself from the saddle, appar­ ently unharmed. Then, white as death, he bowed his head where he stood, almost broken-hearted. Thus Una found him. Her hand trembled as it touched his arm. Her voice was full of tears. "You—you saved me,” she faltered; "but. oh. Snowball!” Bruce did not speak. It seemed os if al! In life worth having was fading away from him "Is there no compensation?” she sobbed, full of womanly pity and love. "When you have gone away—none,” he answered, simply She lifted her face. Her eyes met his own ’’I shall not go away,” she said, and buried her face upon his shoulder.

Watching the Picture of Grace Beauty. and folly, she told her aunt, Mrs. Davis, the wife of the clergyman at Station Ten, longing for the inspiring air of the mountains and the stirring and unique scenes of the great herding grounds.

Here be la to show himself." Pretty Miss Dacre came tripping down the walk and was introduced to Bruce. His bronzed cheek flred at the touch of her dainty hand. She placed it next across the flowing mane of Snowball. The animal gazed at her with bls great liquid eyes, and gently rested his head across her shoulder. “A friend for life," spoke Bruce Telford, gravely, tenderly, his voice tremulous with genuine emotion. And after that, each day whenever they passed the Davis home Snowball Blackened his pace and Una seemed always waiting for him, and came out to caress him and feed him lumps of sugar. "Our mountain air is doing you good, Miss Dacre," spoke Bruce one morning. "Mrs. Davis tells me that at home you had your own pet horse. I never did it before, but—Snowball would be a kitten in your gentle hands. I would feel proud and hon­ ored if you used him." Thus It came about that Bruce saw a great deal more of Una Dacre than was good for his peace of mind.

Contrary to the popular belief that men's mind are slower and duller (han (hose of women, and that there­ fore they are more difficult to hold with the logic, of a sermon, the In­ vestigating pastors say that tbe wom­ en are not brighter, quicker to un­ derstand. more self-controlled and that tbeir eyes and tbelr minds are not more easily attached to the ser­ mon. The popular beliefs are all wrong, the investigators say. The men folk do pay more attention to the sermons than do the women. In fact, so in­ tense is the interest of the men in the sermon that they watch every motion and gesture of the preacher until they hypnotize themselves and fall asleep. A man can not find a deep interest In John Jones' cravat or William Smith's vest or Sam White's cuff but­ tons. But a woman can sit quietly In church, only half hearing what the minister is saying, and see enough of clothes and fruit for gossip to keep her moderately entertained and thor­ oughly awake throughout, the service. Lipton’s Luck. Hero is a new story about Sir Thomas Lipton, perpetual challenger for the America's cup. It appears that in his early days young Lipton used to perform very creditably on the violin, and he usu­ ally spent the evening playing to a friend who kept a small shop in the neighborhood. These Impromptu con­ certs took place In the parlor behind the shop after closing hours, and one evening, as he was making his way to bis friend's place, a fire engine raced past him. He joined in the crowd that followed it. and was horrified to find that his friend's shop was on fire. To add to his dismay, he suddenly remembered that he had left his precious violin in the back parlor the night before. Alarmed for the safety of his instru­ ment, he rushed into the blaring shop and made his way to the place Where he knew It would be lying, tucked it under his jacket, and after a struggle, reached the doorway again. But no sooner had he reached the street than a burly policeman pounced on him and arrested him on a charge of looting a violin from the shop. �Fntered at tho postofficc at NashvWe, JSgxn Sr Vam.mU.lou tbro«b “ & ... aug matter.

If the mother felt that some woman hero would be interested in the child she might change her mind." * . ‘TH do anything I can,” said Dorcas heartily- “I am glad you are making a change. It will improve the first act to have tbe child sweet Then,” the girl laughed in a half-embarrassed way, "did you ever look at a picture of yourself when you were at the tadpole age and wonder If It could have possibly been you? That has been my frame of mind since I laid eyes on the little ’Cordelia.’" "I don't blame you,” Oswald smiled. “I can’t Imagine why wo made such a blunder. Merry puts It just the way you da” "Thank you, Mr. Merry.” Dorcas turned to the actor with a grateful smile. "1 am ready to go wilh you any time to see Mrs. Volk.” Dorcas bad a new insight in Merry's character when she found how his friends held him in esteem. There was not a touch, in Mrs. Biller-well's greeting, cf hero worship or deference to the man who had won fame. It was merely a droll blend of loving de­ votion and motherly tyranny. Merry jumped to his feet when Mrs. Volk entered, with Julie clinging ahyly to her gown. Dorcas felt Instantly a throb of sympathy and warm friend­ ship. Merry had told her something of the pitiful story on the way uptown. "You said once. Miss Dorcas." he re­ minded her, "that you were never so happy aa when you had some one to mother. Alice Volk needs mothering. I doubt if she has a friend in the world except Mother Billerwell and myself. Mrs. Billerwell Is pure gold, but Alice needk o woman like you.” Half an hour later they waited on the platform of an L station for a downtown train. They had scarcely spoken since leaving tbe Harlem house. Merry realized how deeply the girl's heart had been stirred- They entered the train and took a scat to­ gether in silence. She sat gazing at tho city below. Then she turned suddenly. "Little Julie is to begin rehearsals tomorrow morning." she said. "Tho mother made only one condition: they are to be known under another name. She Is in terror lest her husband finds them." "That’s all right, but do you think tho child can play the small •Cordella?” asked Merry anxiously. “You can do anything you wish with that child. Shu has a soul and sweet* ness, and she understands. There is something in her—we call it magnet­ ism in older people—which will reach across tbe footlights and grip every ( man and woman in tbe audience. The „ child will help me wonderfully.

Merry saw her chin tremble once and her eyes grow.misty; then she spoke sud­ denly: "She must have lived through awful experiences.” “Alice Volk has seen the very depths. She suffered more than misery and neglect; there was actual brutality. I knew her before Volk came Into her life. She played with the first New York company 1 was in. ‘She was the gayest little creature then you can Im­ agine—a whimsical, laughing, care­ free, happy child.”* "Gay!” Dorcas spoke incredulously. “Tbe gaiety has gone." “It has been wrung out of her." “I never had a real w oman friend ex­ cept the sisters at the convenL” said Dorcas. "I think Alice Volk and I will be friends. We can help each other.” “Each other? I had not thought of It In that way. Your friendship will mean a great deal to her. It la like reaching out a hand to some one who Is drowning.” "Alice Volk is different from any one I ever met When little Julie ran out to speak to you, I followed her.

I do not want a gaping crowd to come with lamentations loud, when life has fled; nor would 1 have my words or ways rehearsed, perhaps, mid tardy praise when I am dead. I do not want strange, curious eyes to scan my face when still it lies in silence dread; nor do I want them if they would to tell my deeds were ill or good, when I am dead. I only want the very few, who stood through good and evil too, true friendship’s test: Just they who sought to find the good, and then as only true friends could, forgive the rest. They who. with sympathetic heart nought l ojb and comfort to Impart, when there was life, not keeping all the tears and sighs till weary, wornout nature dies and ends the strife. I’d have them come, the friendly few and drop, perhaps, a tear or two, by kindness led. Not many tears I’d have them shed, nor do I want much sung or said,.when I am dead. To have them each come in alone and call me in the old sweet tone would suit me best, and then, with­ out a sob or moan go softly out and ’eave alone the dead to rest.

This car with its 17 new features has been a great attraction ever since it was placed on the market, and the factory is rushed to its utmost capacity to fill orders which are pouring in from all sections of the country.

But when he sends hia money to the mall order bouse* HE DOES NOT STOP TO THINK THAT HE IS NOT HELPING TO PAT THE REQUIRED TAXES IN HIS OWN COMMUNITY; not that he does not pay his own legally assessed taxes, but that he ia not helping dur local merchants to pay the taxes necessary to support the community. The mall order man has absolutely no interest In the community.. He plays the part of a fisherman—strolling about, casting a line here and there, where he thinks th* best flahlng la to be found, and after pulling out the flah he departs. The mall order man does not contribute to the upkeep of the community. He merely take* away from it. ■When a farmer sends bis dollars to the mall order house ho prevents a certain amount of improvements, aay, for Instance, in road building, here in our county. The mall order man does not help to build our roads, but the local storekeeper does. If we keep the dollars at home they will keep on helping us all. Dollars, spent at home, come home to roost. . They com© back In the upkeep of ou»« town and county institutions. Wo have none too many dollars at the moat In our community and It seems a shame to send any of them away to thp mall order bouses, where we will never see them again. The dollars we send away help the mall order man to take a vacation tn Europe or at the seashore. THEY HELP HIM TO .MAINTAIN HIS AUTO­ MOBILE AND TO RIDE ON PAVED ROADS. If we keep these same dollars at home they will help us to have better roads in our own county. Of course, the mall order man pays his taxes In the city, which helps to pave the streets of the city, but we here in our town don’t benefit by that. Therefore, the best thing for ua to do is keep our money at home, where it will do us some good. OUR LOCAL MERCHANTS WILL USE THE DOLLARS TO GOOD AD­ VANTAGE BY HELPING TO PAY THE TAXES HERE—THE TAXES RE­ QUIRED TO BUILD GOOD ROADS EVERY DOLLAR SPENT IN OUR HOME TOWN MEANS IMPROVEMENTS AT HOME. The merchant* of our town deserve the patronage of the people In our community. They are a per*, • very taroe p*r*. of the community and they pay a major portion of the taxes. The mor© business they do the more taxes they must pay and the more taxes paid Into the county treasury, the more Improvements we can have. Unless we are careful and watch our own Interests we will find out to our cost that th© ultimate result of the mall order scheme will bo the cen­ tralization of all of the country business in the large cities and the absolute destruction of the financial Interests In the small cities and towns. The only way to prevent this- is to stop sending our ordpra to, the upll order houses. Let the dollars come home to roost. That Is the only way, and they will come home to roost If we do not send them too far away. The dollars spent locally will circle around and keep things lively, but if sent away we must get more dollars from outside to take their place. It is rot always an easy matter to do this. THE SAFEST THING TO DO IS TO TAKE NO CHANCES, BUT TO SPEND THEM AT HOME WITH THE LOCAL STOREKEEPERS. If we had any expectation that the mall order man would ever do any­ thing to help our community, things might be different. But there Is no chance. Ho comes to us In the garb ot an artful deceiver, with gross mis­ representations. false promises and a record of disnppolntmenta. But wo welcome the opportunity to again plactf-ourselves on record aa being his dunes. There isn't a grain of kindness in his whole makeup. He demands his cash In advance and gives you that which he wishes to send. You have no redress. You have no rights that he is bound to respect. The mere fact that we are «llfy enough to «end our money away, out of our own community, to a stranger, thereby Injuring our own business pros­ pects and Jeopardizing our own prosperity. Justifies him in believing that he can take the most outrageous fiberties with us. Bread cast on the waters will return, not so with dollars sent to the mall order house. Turkeys will come home to roost, if somebody does not catch them. , BUT DOLLARS WILL COME HOME TO ROOST IF WE KEEP THEM IN CIRCULATION IN OUR HOME TOWN.

The board of county canvassers of Barry county, having ascertained anr* canvassed the several wards, townships and districts of wk! county, at thr PROTECTION OF BIRDS. I am well aware that most of the older readers of this article will be of the opinion that most birds are a nuisance and should be killed or driven away, rather than encouraged to live among we “city folks.” But the younger generation does not think so. A few of them may, but the universities in almost every state, and even the government itself has learned the mistake of destroying bird life and is urging Its protec­ tion. Actual tests from New York to California and from Minnesota to the gulf have proved that for every piece of grain or fruit a bird eats, it eats dozens—or even hundreds—- . of insects to recompense the owner of; the grain or fruit. To reach a ’ quick conclusion, imagine what hu­ manity would do In six moths' time from this day if every bird in the United States were killed today! Personally, Iy*m a great bird lov­ er—and I do not think very much of a man who doesn't like them. True, I have gone out and killed quail, mourning doves and other game birds—but 1 have invariably felt ashamed of myself every time I did it. 1 never have pulled the head from a quivering bird but that I felt 1 was a great big coward in hu­ man form, although the dozens of companions, who knew me well nev­ er suspected I had each emotions. Not long ago I was shown the en­ joyment bird lite will bring to one it he will let it. and unless your edi­ tor deprives me of the space, I will tell you about it at some future Had It Figured Out. The attention of the tourist In north­ ern France was attracted to the fol­ lowing notice: “Pasture your horses here. Short-tailed horses, fifteen cents a day.'* On inquiring about the differenqs. of’ price, the farmer remarked that anyone ought to know that, and explained that a short-tailed horse, had to chase the flies with his head, and while he did so he could not eat, while a long tailed one, not being thus handicapped, naturally ate a great deal more. Profits In Ostriches. Very large profits are being mad* from ostrich farming in South Africa. In the Oudtshoern district many os­ trich farmers have become extremely wealthy. One farmer in Cradock states that from two pairs of breed­ ing birds he raised in three and a half years 240 birds, valued at £15 each. Another states that from on* pair of good breeding birds his net profit for on* year amounted to over £800. . Microbes In tn* Air. Many living microbes float I* th* air of dwellings, but in Moumb which are old, overcrowded and dirty tb* numbers are very much higher. These come for the most part from the sides and floor and not from persons, but they are much more numerous when the dust Is disturbed than when th* room has been ouiet for * short time. �==s Throws LEN W.

Mildred and Thornton were already there. He had buttoned up his coat, and he tbok my foil with a business­ like air which made me fear for Tommy. I believed the cur had planned to do something mean. He was too much of a coward to kill him. but I wouldn't have been surprised if he had cut his face about, to disfigure him. As for Mildred, she was standing back against the wall and watching both men with a singular expression; she seemed like a person dreaming, and certainly there was no look of love upon her face for Thornton. I think she had become conscious of her evil part. But she was too game to call, the affair off. “Remember, gentlemen," I said, as I placed the men in position and drew the foil buttons from my pocket, “In case of accident we swear that the buttons came off accidentally. That's understcod? Then get ready!" They toed the chalk lines I had drawn, and I lowered my cane. For half a minute the thrusts and parries were so swiftly given that it was impossible to see who was the better, fencer. Then I saw a look of surprise come out on Thornton's face. Tommy was at least his equal with the weapon. Thornton seemed to be devoting all his efforts to guarding his face, for he held himself well back, while at the same time he exposed his body rather carelessly. Suddenly I saw Tommy's blade dart forward. It seemd to go through Thornton's cheat. . Evidently it had parsed under his ’srm, for Thornton did not appear wounded. I saw Tommy set his teeth as he renewed the attack; and then It dawned on me that he bad Thorn­ ton at his mercy. To my surprise Tommy began to fence In a very curious way. He used his foil npw something in the manner of a sword, making a succession of sweeping slashes, at the same time adroitly parrying Thornton's lunges. Ail at once a ribbon of cloth flew out of Thornton's coat. The blade had come within a quarter-inch of cutting him open. ( Swish! A second ribbon flew In the opposite direction. Then a third and a fourth and a fifth followed, until Thornton's coat hung in ribbons about him. There was a ghastly look on Thorn­ ton's face. 1 thought then that it was due to Tommy’s Incredible swordsmanship. But it wasn't. Slash! Swish! Slash! Thornton looked like a ragged beggar. The coat was all gone in front, and now strips of waistcoat and shirt began to follow it. And then a gentle rasping sound became audible. The toil point seemed to be striking metal. An in­ stant later a last slash from Tommy’s foil sent the rest of Thornton's shirt­ front flying, disclosing—a tightly-fit­ ting breastplate of flexible chain armor which hung on one of the dummy fig­ ures in an obscure place in the hall. The coward bad put this on beneath his shirt No wonder he had guarded his face so carefully and* exposed his body! In spite of my dose attention to the fight, 1 managed to steal a glance at Mildred. AU through the duel she had elung to the wall: but now she started forward and stood, with parted lips, staring at Thornton. • Tommy had resumed his ordinary method of bolding his weapon, and was quietly parrying Thornton’s sav­ age thrusts. 1 stepped between them and held up my cane. “That’s all!" I said, and Tommy lowered his point As he did so Thornton lunged with his foil. The point caught Tommy under the collar­ bone and went dean through. Thorn­ ton pulled out the blade and Tommy toppled over. "Sorry, Mildred," said Thornton in a shaking voice. He drew her aside. “What will become of me?" he whis­ pered. "ill have to go." He turned to me. "Have 1 klllea him?" he asked. He was ashen pale and h.a knees would hardly support him. "No, you cowardly dog," I answered and the small opening had already ceased to bleed. "Small thanks to Bat Mildred had pushed pait him Meal gasoline stove, three burner, with oven. All in good condition. HERE'S A I’OINTER FOR EARLY For Sale—Dandy little chicken park outfit.

At the August business meeting of the Young People’s Alliance of the Evangelical church, a motion was made and carried that in September the members should have an auto­ mobile ride. A committee of three. Rev. Diebier. Daniel Garlinger and E. L. Schantz, was appointed to ar­ range for the ride. So on last Mon­ day evening, Sept. 14, a company of about forty-five young people met at the Evangelical church at 6:15, the appointed time, where they found seven autos waiting for the merry crowd, and in a few moments they were speeding away on their long looked for pleasure trip. After en­ joying the country breezes for an hour or more, they returned to the home of Mrs. Rhobea Mead, here they held a Y. P. A. business meeting, after which refreshments were served. Three new names were proposed for membership. Before the company broke up a rising vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Mead for her hospital­ ity, and also to the gentlemen, Messrs. Offley. Garlinger, Hinckley, Marshall. Neiman, Fieback and Zuschnitt. who furnished autos. Much credit is due the committee for making this occasion a success and one long to be remembered. . HAGER-PURCHI8.

Food for reflection is never very fattening. Make money your god and there’s the devil to pay. Words are used to express ideas or the lack of them. No girl’s education is completed be­ fore the is married. The apple of discord is the favorite fruit of some people. Drinking to their health never pro­ longed anybody’s life. Many a friendship has been cut short by a long tongue. Moot of the things to be had for the asking are not worth it The people who fish for complixnentv mnst use attractive bait. Wash your hands before handling food. Keep bedroom windows open all sea­ sons. Eat wholesome food and drink pure water. Take outdoor exercise and breaths good air. The cheapest food may be the most expensive. Spoiled or tainted food is only fit for th*, garbage can. Don’t put your fingers, money or pen­ cils in your mouth.

The more you lie about a thing the harder it will be for you when the truth finally comes out. A thumb nail sketch is more than is necessary to relate the biography of the man who spent his life un­ der his wife's fingers. •One trouble with an active brain is that it gives a fellow so many things to worry about. The crooks and grafters find some way to circumvent every crook-proof and grafter-proof law put on the statute books. We rather imagine some people get indigestion because the gall blad­ der crowds the stomach out of its natural position. When the truth is sufficiently colored it becomes a black He. A man. who never in his life ar­ rived at a conclusion on a proposi­ tion of his own seems to be the ideal to sit on a jury and draw conclu­ sions as to whether or not a man should be hung. Accepting as the.truth the oft made statement tha*t it is a dis­ grace to die rich, there are other and more trifling Impediments in our journey towards the pearly gates that are a greater source of worry. Hard words can never be retract­ ed—sofb ones can be tempered to meet the situation in hand. The man who agrees to everything you say is not entertaining company. One who has never had need of a friend does not know the-value of one. Hard luck never fusses very long around the man with a determination to get there anyway. The man who tells lies that please is sometimes more respected than ne who tells the truths that have a sting. "Sing for an hour every day and you will not have indigestion,” says a physician. Most of the neighbors will probably Imagine you have, however. It is easy to stab in the back the man who keeps ahead of you. . It seems as hard for men to make good laws as R is for laws to make good men. Nothing makes a person feel quite so mean as to peddle a juicy bit of scandal and afterwards find out that there wasn’t a word of truth in it. Lots of folks mistake obstinacy for backbone. .

BATTLE ON DAY AND NIGHT Kaiser's Troops Believe They Can Raze Forte at Antwerp With Their Heavy Seige Guns—Don’t Want to Shell City. London, Sept. 15.—In order to cope with the heavy attacks of the Bel­ gians, the Third aud Ninth German army corps, which were destined to re-enforce the German right wing in France, have been hurriedly returned to the Belgian war center. A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam conveys this information. The sama dispatch says that all day and night there was heavy fighting in the ruins of Louvajn, between the Belgians and the Germans. Twice the Belgians penetrated to the center of the town, the Belgian cavalry delivering fierce charges. Both 81<15fi iQSi 4pBTily. Belgian posi­ tion is considered hopeful. A Taube aeroplane flew over Ant­ werp, according to the dispatch, and one officer was killed and another wounded. Think Antwerp Forts Will Fall. A German commanding officer from Aerschot, who is Imprisoned in Ant­ werp, declares the Germans firmly be­ lieve the Antwerp forts are no mutch for their 17-lnch field guns, of which they have 50. They have an effective range of six miles, but can only be fired 20 times. While confessing that the Germans could not spare a sufficient force for the Investment of Antwerp, this offi­ cer believes a couple of the forts would soon be token, thus giving them access to the town. No bombardment or destruction of the city is contemplated, he says, be­ cause Antwerp harbor is too valuable an asset to the Germans. Germans Short of Guns. A Central News dispatch from Am­ sterdam reports that during the fight­ ing between Aerschot and Louvain, which ended in the Belgian reoccupa­ tion of the former, a sergeant belong­ ing to the Belgian telegraph section succeeded in joining their wire to a line running direct to German head quarters Ln Brussels, and obtained the following correspondence: Telegraphing from Louvain, the German said: "We are surprised. Send assistance quickly.’’ To which Brussels replied: "Ask for assistance at Sicbcm Scherpenneuval. Have no more guns.” t A third telegram from Vilvoorde to the German commander at Louvain said: "No more guns except two batteries which am sending you.” . It now appears that the German left wing between Malines and Louvain was entrenched behind bags of ce­ ment but the heavy Belgian guns de­ stroyed the.position without difficulty. Belgians Deny Atrocities. An Exchange dispatch from Ant­ werp says the government appointed a com minion to refute the German calumnies against Belgians for atroci­ ties committed by the Germans them­ selves. Count Goblet Dalviella. minis­ ter of state, declared refutation was necessary in order that foreign oplnior be not misinformed and that as­ surance be given to the world that Belgium Is entirely unresponsible fqr the horrors caused by the German in­ vasion. .

DO I PERFORM A FAIR SHARE OF MY DUTIES TOWARD THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH,I LIVE? Let ua discuss the subject, fairly and openly. In the first place, we each owe something to our community. We each derive benefits and profits because of our association with the community of which we are each a part, making us each responsible for a fair proportion of the cost of maintaining the support of the community. The physical responsibility is represented by the taxes we pay. Too many of ub are satisfied with tbo perfunctory performance of that part— leaving the moral responsibility to others. In other words, WE ARE TOO EASILY INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT THE PAYMENT OF OUR TAXES RELIEVES US FROM ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE LIVE. We are inclined to forget that the many comforts and conveniences, both in a social and a business way. which we find In our community, are ours because ot our association with our kind; with others who have Invested their dollars and their efforts here, just as we have ourselves. We expect our associates to be loyal to us and to our community and we, at least pretend, that we are loyal to them.

The directors and stockholders of Jbe Nashville Creamery held their annual meeting last Saturday night, and the proposition of organizing a cooperative creamery was advanced. The plan was enthusiastically receiv­ ed by all present, and another meet­ ing was called for Friday, October 2. when definite action will be taken. A committee of fifteen, of which W. G. Hyde of Berryville Is chair­ man. is now at work canvassing among the farmers in this vicinity. Considering conditions in nelghborIng townships, the committee has a wide field to work in. and one rich in prospects. The dairy business Ls carried on to a considerable extent In this section, and there is absolute­ ly no reason why the farmers should ship thdlr produce out of town when they can get as good prices for it at home. All those to whom the plat. has already been proposed are unani­ mously iu favor of the change and willing to join' In the organization, and do what they can to make it a success. With such sentiment ex­ pressed al the very start there is no doubt but that the report of the com­ mlttee in charge will be favorable and that a bumper organization will result, one that will be a benefit to the entire community in many ways. The Creamery Co. have elected temporary officials and will continue to do business until the next meeting October 2. As are all of his lectures, to the public. It will be entirely free and no collection "lifted"; however It will be "worth while” for you to hear him. Local Christian people are going down into their pockets, nevertheless, to bring Evangelist Smith here and all they ask is for you to cooperate by attending. Don’t forget the day and hour— September 27,-7:45 p. m. at the op­ era house. Honest skeptics and thinking Christians .especially invited. Bring your friends. Will you? �When You and I Were Young.

C. C. corsets—a model for every figure at E HAVE ail read of the ostrich, that extraordinary bird of the desert, which dines on scrap Iron, lunches «n stones and when danger threat­ ens thrusts h’s head in tbe sand and believes himself safe from barm, because he cannot see the danger. Picture to yourself this gigantic bird, taller than a man, resting in fancied security because his bead Is hidden from view, although bls body can be seen for miles around. There are too many of us who adopt tho tactics of tho foolish ostrich. We are told of an impending danger and think that we can escape It or avoid It by refusing to face It. We are informed that there is great danger of restriction of our facili­ ties for local trade if our local business men are not given better support; that we may find ourselves deprived of the opportunities for marketing our farm produce in our home town if our storekeepers find themselves stocked up with goods, but with no adequate volume of local business. What la more natural than that this may be the case If wo do not stop sending our money away from home to the mall order houses In the big cities? We must realize such possibilities and take steps to prevent them. If we don't, *e will find out. In all probability, that our local merchants wilt look for other locations than in our town. Which is the wisest thing to do—to look the conditions squarely In the face and take the steps necessary to counteract them or shall we, like the foolish ostrich, refuse to face the conditions and decline to take cognizance of them? ‘ We can permit matters to drift along until the inevitable occurs, or we can think things over, carefully and with judgment, and take the steps nec­ essary Io protect our Interests—the Interests of ourselves and those who will come after us. Our community is built up as the result of various interests, not the least of which is the tributary farming population. Our town was 'created because of tho various Interests that center here and because this is a nat­ ural po’nt for the distribution of farm products and merchandise. The sale of the farm products brings, the money for tbe buying of the merchandise, while the merchandise supplies the necessities of those who raise the crops. It therefore follows^ naturally as one of “the unfailing laws of civiliza­ tion, that IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE FARMERS AND OTHERS WHO PRODUCE THINGS FOR THE MARKET, THERE WOULD BE NO OCCA­ SION FOR THIS COMMUNITY.' THERE WOULD BE NO NECESSITY FOR STORES AND SHOPS. On the other hand, were it not for the stores that are the mediums for tho marketing of the crops, there would be a great lack of facilities for mar­ keting and farming would not be as profitable us we now find it In our com­ munity. If the business men of our town do not afford the requisite facilities for marketing such crops as must be handled locaHy in order to give full ad­ vantage to the farmers, then tbe farmers will-find out that they must look for a market elsewhere or accept a much smaller profit on that which they have to sell. On the other hand, if the farmers do not do their share toward the sup­ port of the business men, by spending their money locally and keeping it In circulation in our own town, instead of sending It to the mall order houses, than the local storekeepers will find it necessary to restrict their investments In goods for tho local market, thereby resulting In a diminishing of tho facili­ ties for getting what wo need at home. This Is a point we mutt not fall to obterve. We must look the condi­ tions squarely In the face and arrive at a conclusion as to what steps are neo escary to preserve and to maintain the conditions which make for prosperity. If wo fail to do this, or If we temporize and let matters drift, we will find that we have emulated the silly ostrich, until the worst happens. SPEND THE MONEY AT HOME. PATRONIZE THE LOCAL BUSI NESS MEN. KEEP THE MONEY IN CIRCULATION IN OUR HOME TOWN. WE NEED EVERY DOLI-AR AT HOME TO HELP THE COM­ MUNITY. Let the ostriches do as they will and send their money to the mall order houses, but let us hope that we have but few of these foolish birds In this c o m m u n fty.

"I don't believe George understands little boys—blind* boys, I “Was George a relative?" “No. He came to the home to take me to America. That was what Father Shannon said.” “What home?" "The home for little blind boys. There were hundreds of little blind boys there.” “Haven’t you any relatives?” asked Merry. "Why, yes, I have my mother. A mother is quite a close relative, isn't she?" "She certainly is,” agreed the actor hastily. "I mean, haven't you any other relative in England?" “There is Aunt Fannie. She is not a real aunt, though. She used to know mother, and sometimes she came to see me at the home." Dorcas lifted him into a chair be­ side tbe table. Mrs. Volk set a plate in front of him. She had cut the chicken and potato into small pieces. “Can you feed yourself, dear?*' she asked hesitatingly. “Why, yes.” There was a tone of grown-up dignity in Robin's voice. “I have fed myself ever since I was a little boy.” ’ There were tears In the girl's eyes while she watched him eat He was still such a little boy! He had dainty, well bred ways. Once he apologized as he accepted a second helping of meat. “I could not eat on the ship today." he explained. “Things were- nasty Besides, I could not think of anything but meeting mother. Do you think she will be in soon?” Merry pulled out his watch. “Julie, It is half-past six. Run upstairs again and see if Miss Paget has come in. Remember, not a word about the sur­ prise for her.” The child returned in a few minutes. “She has just come in.” "Oh.” cried Julie, “there’s ice cream. You have not had any ice cream." "I am not hungry. I want to go to my mother You see I have been thinking about my mother for years and years." “Do you, remember her?” asked Merry. Robin hesitated. "Aunt Fannie says I can't because I was a little baby when she went away. I think—I re­ member her." "Come with me.” said Merry. "Don't you believe that I had better take him?** said Dorcas. “Mias Paget may have begun to dress.” Merry nodded. "Am I spick and span?" asked Robin anxiously. "Aunt Fannie said mother is beautiful and elegant and famous. I want her to see that I am nice enough to be her little boy.” Dorcas dropped on her knees be­ side him. She untied the small bow at bls collar and- made It into a fresh knot. “Why, you will be her pride and joy.” There was a look of tense anxiety in the child's face. "Do you think so really? I am more trouble than little boys who—can see. I can't dress my­ self all over, and I can’t part my hair straight I can't always find things Sometimes," Robin’s voice dropped to a whisper, "sometimes I’m scared when I'm alone; I get afraid on the streets if they are noisy.” Dorcas laid her face against the soft cheek and whispered something in the child’s ear. Robin's face shone with joy. “I am glad you think sc. There Is just one thing," hts voice had a regretful tone In ft. "I wish you had been my mother. I like you.” The girl held him out at arm's length for a moment "I am wishing the same thing. I like you!” He took her hand and they climbed the stair which led to the upstair* dressing-room. Dorcas felt an un­ spoken terror. She looked back from the head of the stairs. Merry stood watching them. She beckoned him. and he followed with a few springing steps. They paused for a moment out­ side the door of Miss Paget's room. When Dorcas tapped. Robin was cling­ ing to her hand with a grip which al­ most hurt Zllia Paget stared at them with still curiosity. She sat in front of the mir­ ror while the colored maid Emillne brushed her hair. It hung to her waist in tong, shining waves. Her forehead wrinkled for a moment as if In per plexlty. She could not see Robin's face. He was hiding behind Dorcae with bis head wrapped In her-gown. A sneering smile hovered about her mou Ji. “This is a rare pleasure. Miss Went­ worth," she said abruptly. "Something uncommon must have happened to make you honor me with a visit Who is your young friend T* Dorcas laid her hand upon Robin’s shoulder and turned him gently so he could face his mother. "This is your little boy,” she said tn a low voire. Zllia Paget sprang to her feet with Gprang to Her Feet With a Cry of Rage. groped till he caught his mother’s fin­ gers. She flung them aside angrily. "Don't touch me!” she cried harsh­ ly. "Take him out of my sight!" Dorcas grew white to the lips. Robin was clutching at her in terror. She put her arm about him, sheltering him as a mother would have done. Miss Paget turned her eyes fiercely upon the girt “Who hatched this. In­ fernal plot?" she cried. “Who brought this little brat to America?" The actress lost control of herself. She dashed up and down tbe narrow dressing-room like a caged liger. "What is the matter?" asked Don cas coldly. "It’s hell and tbe devil—and all his angels. That's what's the matter. What right had you to stick a finger in my affairs? What do you suppose I want of that blind brat? I hate the sight of him. He is the Image of his father, and good God! how 1 did hate him! I suppose you and your saintly Mr. Oswald are bent on ruining my career." Dorcas opened the door and pushed the sobbing child gently into the lob­ by. Merry stood outside, where he had overheard tho woman's shrill abuse. He took Robin by the hand and led him downstairs. Dorcas re­ entered the dressing-room. Miss Paget was tossing through a heap of letters which lay on her table as if In search of something. She picked up a sheet of paper and stood reading it. A sav­ age smile convulsed her handsome “I know now who did it,” she cried. “That was tbe revenge ne meant, the bally old rotter! I'll get even with him!" “Yos don’t want your little boy, then?” asked Dorcas. She turned on the girl in blank amazement. "Want that blooming, batty. Imbe­ cile Rob Tully's child? Not on your life! He goes back to the asylum where be came from. I can get the law on them for giving him up without his mother’s consent’ "His mother!" cried Dorcas. "You do not act the part of 'Mrs. Ester­ brook!" There was an ugly tone In Zllia Paget’s laugh. “I have beard that before. Mr. Oswald was once so com­ plimentary as to tell me something of the sort. Now, perhaps you will be polite enough to clear out. And be­ fore you go, let me give you a bit of advice, my lady: keep your nose out of my business if you have any re­ gard for your own happiness!",. Dorcas turned to the door. The woman laughed as she closed it behind her. She paused for a minute in the empty hall trying to think of what could be said to the child downstairs. If the woman had struck him in the face, it would have been easier to re­ cover from such a blow. Dick came dashing up the stairs. "First call," he shouted hoarsely. She ran down to her own room. Mra. Volk sat in a low chair with Robin in her arms, cuddling him against her breast and crooning to him as if be were a baby. She looked up at Dorcas with pitiful eyes. "Let me take him, Alice. I have plenty of time to dress after Julie goes out She needs you to button her frock and fix her hair.” Robin did not speak when Alice laid him in her arms. His slender body was limp and quiet Dorcas had never known any little boy intimately, and she did not know exactly how to com fort him. It occurred to her that if she were in Robin’s place she would not want, anybody to speak of what had happened. She bent do#n and touched his face with her Ups. When the door closed and Mrs. Volk went out with Julie, he asked in a whisper, "I don't belong then—to the—lady —upstairs, do It’ "No. dear," there was a thrill of boy. Shall we shake hands on it?** The small fingers were thrust Into her own with a clinging grip. That night at the close of the sec­ ond act lhe audience sat breathlest tor a few moments. "Cordelia," with her face glowing beneath the rouge, turned in response to. “Mrs. Ester­ brook's'* last pica. “Stay with you because you are my mother? How dare you take the word 'mother* .upon your lips? Do you know what that word stands for? 1 wonder if it would be possible to make you understand. It means love-self denying, strong, tender devotion; ft means faithful wifehood. Have you ever given that? The woman who le a good wife and mother forgives and forgets and loves. Behind it all stands love, simply love, unselfish love. 1 believe in God, but today I cannot un­ derstand why he should have al­ lowed a woman such as you are to have become a wife and a mother— my mother!" The curtain fell. Dorcas had reached her dressing-room when she had tc turn and fly back to the stage. The applause had grown to a tumult Zills Paget stood by her side when the cur­ tain rose. She was smiling a istage smile upon the audience, butt the glance she turned upon Dorcas one of rpallgnant hatred. CHAPTER XVI. Wentworth Shows His Hand. Oswald shut up a ledger and carried It to his safe. He and Wentworth had finished a study of their month’s finances. The figures were satisfac­ tory beyond their anticipation. Enoch leaned back in bls chair and lit a cigar. "If we can slay in New York till spring—and it begins to look as if we might—you and 1 are on the high road to become millionaires." Oswald did not answer. He picked up a paper-knife and tested its pli­ ancy by bending It almost double. "Wentworth,'' he asked, "do you happen to think of any one who could take Zllia Paget's part?” Enoch laid his cigar on a tray and sat bolt upright. “Were you in front last night?" he asked curtly. “No.” Oswald spoke gravely. “Miss Paget and Dorcas had nine curtain calls at the end of the second Peoact The gallery began to pie downstairs joined in. Can you think of any actress who engaged for that matter, capable ot touching her in the part?" “It was not acting last night Were you back of tbe scenes?" Enoch brought down his fist with a thud on the table. "I was not and I'm sorry enough that I wasn't I would have settled things differently. I have had the whole story rehearsed to me by several people. Do you know that Miss Paget's child is in my home?” Oswald bent his knife to the point of resistance. It snapped in two pieces. He tossed the fragments in a waste basket "You mean the little blind boyr "Yea." Wentworth's voice was fierce with irritation. "I have not seen him—I have no wish to see him. Dor­ cas told ma this morning what she had saddled herself with. She and I thrashed the question out" He laughed unpleasantly. “It did precious little good.” “Would you have turned tbe child into the streel?" Enoch shrugged bls shoulders im­ patiently. * “1 don't want to go over the ques­ tion again. It puts me in an awkward position with Miss Paget to have the child In my house. Bo far as I see I cannot turn him out unless my sister goes with him." "What do you suggest?’’ “Good God! there is only one thing to do—send tbe child to tbe asylum where he came from. The mother is In the right when she wants him sent back to England. He was In a good enough home there." "Who took him out of it?" "I don’t understand the situation. Miss Paget knows, I fancy, but she has not given me the man’s name. She says ft was a piece of nasty re­ venge.” “She told you this?” "Yes, I have had a nice morning. It was gone over step by step at home, then again with Miss Paget She wants the child.” "To care for?" "No.” Wentworth turned his eyes studiously in another direction. “She Intends to send him back to England immediately. Why shouldn't she? The woman has to be footloose in her work. A blind youngster would tie her down neck and heels. They un­ derstand that sort in an asylum. There isn’t a doubt that he would be happier there.*1 “That is >honest conviction?" one thing.

She lacks that" "Who gave you tho version of this story?” "Merry told me last night.” "You have not seen Dorcas?” "I have not met Mies Wentworth since yesterday morning.” "It was a case of stlrred-up emo tion with- the whole bunch of thena They will take things normally In s day or two.

When the “blues" get you and you can see nothing ahead but a drearyold age, with dimmed mind and dulled faculties; when tbe whole scheme of life seems awry, when you long so ardently for the lost youth and the pleasures of youthful sensations which seem to have left you forever, just re­ member that youth wver dies. Al­ though you have outgrown your youth, yet others are following in your foot­ steps with the keen enjoyment of pleasure that you used to have. If you. will cease repining for what has pass­ ed from your experience and seek to glean from tbe lives of the young a share of their exuberant vitality and pleasures you will be well repaid. Forget your age and your trials. Seek to enter Into tbe lives and the spirit of the yotfkig people—of the chil­ dren around you. You will find In ministering to their pleasures (and It takes but little to make a child hap­ py) your own youth will return, and the happy, joyous feelings of the child will be yours. Play with the children; tell them stories; get their point of view. Youth will live on forever, and you will forget your age and be young again.

Nashville was represented by, Newton Trautman and Clare McPerby at the first Leaders' Train Con­ ference conducted by the Barnr County‘Committee of the Y. M. C. A. at its headquarters at Hastings la;t Friday evening. Several other like conferences are scheduled for the winter, leaders being brought tore >»• er at the expense of the county com­ mittee so tha’ the work may be standardized and made the most ef­ fective and efficient. Hastings. Nashville. Middleville and Assyria were all represented, these being the communities where the work will be largely done this first year. State Secretary B. B. Johnson of East Lansing conducted the early portion of the conference, giving particular attention to the study of the bible in its relation to boys. He declared that he knows that boys will study the bible, for they are doing it all over Michigan by tbe hundreds, quoting as a near-by example the work done in Kalamazoo. Last winter Kalamazoo’s city engineer, a University of Michigan graduate, conducted-a training class for ’ten older high school boys, and these in turn conducted bible study groups for younger boys. ' Secretary D. C. Vandercook of the Barry County Committee in out­ lining the group plan stated that it included the Bible study, followed by a short business session conducted by the boys’ own officers.’ an educa­ tional program of debates, parlia­ mentary- proceed u re or practical talks by the business and profession­ al men and a concluding program of games, or a “feed’’ or small banquet.

FOR QUICK RESULTS TRY A NEWS WANT AD SPECIAL DISPLAY OF Bha.ro of the results to our advantage. There la one benefit which the farmer receives from hla labors that we do not share In but In the making of which we all have a hand. That is the added value cf bis holdings as they grow In desirability and as the demand for land In our neighbe -hood increases. Baesuse Increased land values come as the result of conditions which afford additional opporti Itles of profitable crop raising, not the least of which Is the market which pe -nits of a quick and desirable sale. Naturally there can be no need of a tn rket If there Is nothing to sell, nor can there be a profitable sale unless th re Is the right market. ' So the Increase In the value of the farm comes with the better market conditions, the farmer finding better prices as the market becomes more popular and the market becoming more popular wlth.the number of farmers. THOSE WHO HELP TO MAKE THE MARKET BETTER ARE ENTI­ TLED TO THE THANKS AND GOOD WILL OF THE FARMER. We all try our best to bring about such a condition nnd In this way we help to make farming pay. ■ An a result of our efforts to help the farmer we expect him to do some­ thing in return. And when the thought Is carefully analyzed ft will be seen that we are actually asking him only to help himself even more than he will be helping us. by .doing that which we ask. We ask the farmer to buy bls merchandise at home instead of sending to tho big mall order bouses for hte goods. We believe that be can buy at home just as advantageously as to send his orders out of town and that he will be even better satisfied with his merchandise if he buys of our local store­ keepers. Bat the main point Is this: We need al! of the money in town. We need it for the purposes of business and we need the business that he is accustomed to send away to the mail order bouses. We want to stop their encroachments on local trade. We want to encour­ age local business men to provide stocks suitable and sufficient for local con­ sumption, but If we send away for the-goods wo need, then the local business mon will become discouraged and decline to Invest their money and credit In stocks for our town. In order to help himself the farmer must help the local merchant It Is only by such reciprocal conditions that a community can become prosperous and grow Into a bigger community. And it Is only by the fact that a farm is located in proximity to a good market that the farm will become more valuable. Even If a farmer can make a profit on tbe buying of certain goods from a mall order house, in the end it will mean that he has helped to stultify his home market, which tends to keep down land values. A DULL MARKET NEVER MADE A BIG TOWN. In this, -we can all help and we are trying tc help. The farmers who send their orders to the mall order houses do not think of the effect which their acts hsve on the community. They do not realize that they are helping to create a sentiment which cannot but Injure the financial condition of our home town; a sentiment which interferes with the growth of the community and with the prosperity of every owner of land. So, to make farming pny. In both the direct and the indirect way, stand by the townspeople and help local business conditions. Every farmer has a share and an Interest Im his home town. He Is as much affected by the pre­ vailing conditions In the town as he is by the conditions on his own farm. THE TOWN CANNOT HAVE PROSPERITY WITHOUT HIS CO-OPERA­ TION AND HE CANNOT LOOK FOR PROSPERITY IF HE DOES NOT LIVE IN A PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY. Any man can injure his community by falling to cooperate with those whose interests are similar to his own. Shortsightedness may make a man believe that be Is not included in this genera! rule, but few can success­ fully evade its application Make farming pay by helping to "boost'' your home town. Do your busi­ ness with our local storekeepers. You will prosper more In the long run.

Freeman Ward, Sec. Tho actress brushed past him with a short, unpleasant laugh. Her man­ ner was full of self-confidence. Went­ worth realized that he had never seen her look more beautiful; still his .pulses did not quicken by a beat. She wore a gown of strangely larid blue which few women would have dared to affect The harmony between the dead gold of her hair and a willowy blue plume that swept down from her hat was almost startling. Her atti­ tude was aggressive and a certain sense of power lay behind her the­ atrical entrance. Enoch’s face settled into a frown, although his eyes were full of scowling perplexity. He rapped the door shut and turned the key in the lock. “Now,” he demanded sharply, "be good enough to tefl me what this means.” “Arent you going to ask me to sit down?” The woman spoke with an enticing smile. "No. I have no intention of asking you to stay so long.” Zilla Paget laughed and sank lan­ guidly into a chair beside the fireplace. “I would suggest that you sit down,” she said suavely. Enoch shook his head. “You may get tired before I am through talking. It will take some time to discuss this affair. ’ “What affair?” Wentworth turned on her with quiet scorn. "Don’t be him. There was a malevolent sneer “My opinion is that anything you could do would be a rotter." “Why?” Zilla Paget drew one hand from her muff and pulled out a few sheets of crumpled paper. She laid them on the table, smoothing them carefully with the blank alde.up. Suddenly she turned them over and placed both her hands firmly on the paper. Enoch took a few steps forward and peered down through his glasses. His gait grew unsteady and his fingers gripped at the edge of the table. A purplish flush swept over his cheeks, then be became ghastly pale. His very lips grew white. There were gray hollows about his eyes like the shad­ ows which creep into a face after death. His mouth moved, but he did not utter a word, because his tongue touched dry lips. “I knew you would understand," murmured the woman. Wentworth’s hands sprang at her wrists like the grip of a wild beast snatching at its prey. “Pon’L" entreated the actress. “You hurt terribly. You do not know how strong you are. Besides—you are fool­ ish, horribly foolish. If you should tear this, it is nothing but Exhibit A. There are hundreds ot sheets where it came from. And let me tell you— they are where you won't find them.” Wentworth unclasped her wrists, but his eyes were blazing with mur­ derous fury. He turned with a quick gesture to the wail behind him. Against a rug of Oriental matting hung a collection of savage weapons. The woman watched him with cool unconcern. He seemed to be search­ ing rapidly with his eyes for some­ thing. He laid his hand upon a long thin dagger. Here and there its blade had rusted to blackness, but its edge was deadly keen. He jabbed the point of it into his blotting pad. It curled over llthely, as a Ferrara does. Then he glanced at the woman beside the table. His eyes were glittering with the bloodthirsty passions of tbe primi­ tive man. Zilla Pagel lifted a lorgnette which hung at her wrist by a jeweled chain. She clicked it open, raised it to her eyes—and laughed. ' “I wonder." she murmured, “if you realize how ridiculous you look. You axe too white-livered to do such a thing as that. Besides," she glanced about the sunlit room, "where could you hide the body Y’ . Enoch tossed the blade upon his desk and began to walk up and down the floor. He rolled his handkerchief into a hard ball and dabbed with it continually at his moist forehead.

RETREAT BEFORE VON UK'S MEN Germans Occupy Roye, Lassigny and St. Quentin. PARIS ADMITS REPULSES Official French Statement Says Army on Left Has Been Compelled to Give Ground at Certain Points. London, Oct. 6.—German resumption of the offensive was signaled in start* ling fashion by tho delivery of two furious assaults. The first was a series of massed counter attacks directed at the French and British line north of th|> Oise river, designed to break the pressure that threatened the German lines ot communication into Belgium. The no­ tion In this vicinity was so severe that the French were compelled to give ground at several points. Strategic Pointe Claimed. Second, the German left developed surprising strentgh in coutner-attacks delivered during the night and re­ peated at Intervals during the day, but without gain to the enemy, the French holding fast In the other sections of the battle front there were no developments of Importance. The German ofijcial statements maintain that a dcclBHe check has been administered to the allies’ line on the Oise, reaching the proportions of a rout "Strategic portions of great Importance" fell Into the hands of General von Kluck, Berlin claitno. Allies Say Only Outposts Retired. The allies maintain that the with­ drawal in France is not significant of a general recession. Rather, it means that advanced French and British po­ sitions were assailed, and forced to withdraw to the more heavily in­ trenched and fortified line of the maiq body, where the big guns afford better protection. The battle in this region still rages furiously, with no decisive resulL according to Bordeaux official statements. The return of the Germans to tna attack, the first offensive activity shown by them since the decisive de­ feat administered by the French and British In the vicinity of Roye. prob­ ably means that the Invaders are mak­ ing a desperate effort to keep their offenslve alive for the purpose -of saving the morale of the army, which has been forced to a low ebb by the con­ tinued reverses ot the past two weeks. The continued resistance of von Kluck’s right flank also is necessary to the German plan, as if the right wing Is forced to give way the French will swarm to the rear ot the German center, and this army must be allowed to retire with the rest to save It. • Flanking Move to Be kept Up. General d'A made, commanding the French extended left, has as yet failed to overlap the right end of the Ger­ man line, although unofficial reports have it that an advanced body of the-, allied army has penetrated as far M*. Douai, 15 miles to the east and north­ east of An-as and on the line through Valenciennes to Belgium, by which von Kluck has been receiving supplies. Here heavy re-enforcements have been .■ rushed, according to the reports, in: order to smash this line and cut off' the revictualing source so Important to the continued resistance of the vaders. The Germans occupy Roya, Lnssigny and SL Quentin. Poincare Leaves for Front ~' President Poincare left Bordeaux for the battle front But in his case it will not be to take part in the strategy, ar to lead his troops in the field, but to personally congratulate the French soldiers on their gallant conduct The president was accompanied by Pre­ mier Vivian! and Minister of War Mil­ lerend. The trip Is being made In an automobile and the first visit will be made to the headquarters of General Joffre. The party expects to be absent from the temporary capital for three or four days.

Success comes to us finally if we stick to our chosen course. At first this is difficult to do, but if we slowly but steadily keep at it we will surely succeed. • Students are not in school to Idle away time and spend it worthlessly; not only to fully absorb but to un­ derstand the value of a good educa­ tion. This means much though it is little realized. , Many times mothers, fathers and guardians sacrifice a • great many things, that their boys and girls may have a higher and better knowledge of that which makes life worth living. Far example: Here is a mother who willingly does without necessary food, wears shabby raiment, that her child may attend a higher institution than a graded school. What is her reward ? This beginning of the school year means hard work for the -mothers. They are only repaid by seeing their sons or daughters cheerily and faith­ fully discharging their duties. When we are well advanced in age. will it not give us great pleasure to look back at our former life and say we did the best we knew how? There is also another important thought to be considered. Does the future government of each nation not depend upon the schooling and early training of the coming gener­ ation? Admitting that there are many individuals who have not re­ ceived .a good education, are these the ones who are the moat active and best citizens in our laud today? It is therefore strictly necessary that wo. at least, try to do our best to make the most ot our opportunities. ‘“Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing.

Huge Siege Guns to Shell Region of Verdun. HEAVY FIGHTING AT LENS Reposted Assaults, of Teutons R ported Repulsed by Allies—Belfort to Be Bombarded by the London, Oct. 13.—The whole Ger­ man front is preparing to take the of­ fensive again along a battle line no less than three-hundred miles long. German cavalry has advanced with­ in thirty miles ot Ostend; Ghent, ac­ cording to a dispatch to the London Star from Rotterdam, has been cap­ tured by the invaders; Uhlans, screen­ ing a heavy Prussian force, have been encountered all through the territory west of Lille. These are maneuvers covering the establishment of the new Belgium bat­ tle line reaching out from and con­ necting with the German right wing in France. Attack Renewed .on Oise. Between Arras and the Oise the en­ emy has renewed his attacks with In­ creasing fury; the plateau north of Soissons continues to be the scene of vigorous offensive movements by tho kaiser's forces, and Verdun, for eight weeks under almost incessant fire from the Qerman guns, now is to be made the target of the monster howitzers that reduced Antwerp. * Belfort, too. Is to be battered by the monster siege guns. The fall of Antwerp was essential to the consummation of far greater and more stupendous plan of campaign being initiated by the German staff, if for no other reason than that it sig­ naled the crushing of Belgium, making three-quarters of the kingdom solidly held by the kaiser; it eliminated Ant­ werp as a thorn in the side of Ger­ many, and lastly and most Important. It released 130,000 men and the be­ sieging army's big guns, making them available tor active operations against the more formidable opponent in France which the kaiser could not move. This force under General von Beseler, It la expected, will shortly swing in the southwesterly direction, seeking a Junction with the army under Gen­ eral von Boehm, who is supporting von Kkick Just over the border. Signal for General Attack. The attempt of tblr Antwerp at­ tacking army to effect this Junction in Its westward movement toward the coast will be the signal, military ex­ perts here believe, for a general at­ tack along the whole German battle front The French general staff has antici­ pated this strategy and during the past week la reported to have concen­ trated sufficient troops at Ostend, In­ cluding the newly arrived British forces, the Canadian regiments who are reported to have arrived there, and the Belgians, who have come to Antwerp, to be ready to meet the new German front. The greatest activity in France aside from the cavalry movements west of Lille occurred in the region of Lasaigny, Roye, Lens and Arras. The heaviest fighting took place at Lens, where repeated assaults by the Ger­ mans were repulsed with great losses, according to the French official com­ munique. The French war office also reports progress In the engagement being fought on the plateau before Soissons, on the right bank of the Alone, and to the east and southeast of Verdun. In the Vosges the Germans essayed nu­ merous night attacks in the region of Bau-de-Sapt, north of St. Die, with no success. They were forced to retire.

As to an occupation, I am divided between writing books and becoming a detective.” "You’re wild," instantly voiced Dale. “Maybe so," Interrupted Parr, "but you see it doesn’t matter much to Weston. His money has been already earned for him.” “Authors generally starve and de­ tectives average about two dollars a day.

Lee Weston was fostering a romance. He did not return to report to his chief that day nor the next. He wsa too much personally absorbed in bis task. He learned that the young lady waa a Miss Fay Whittier, that she was an art student, that she was appar­ ently alone in the world, that she was tho Idol of the denizens of the board­ ing house where she stayed because of her kindly ways. And then three evenings later, while he was shadowing her she faced him by cleverly doubling on her tracks, “Why arc you following me?” she asked simply and unaffectedly. "F know you are a gentleman, so you will tell me the truth." And In the presence of those sweet true unfaltering eyes, Lee Weston blundered out the whole story. Miss Whittier laughed merrily. “What a strange story/’ she cried. "Well, I must help you. You must call upon tne this evening and 1 will tell you so much about myself, that when you report back .to your chief he will think you are a magician to have secured such precise informa­ tion.” The quaint conceit was followed out that evening. In the parlor of the boarding bouse those two indulged In a most pleasing chat It was as Res­ ton was about to leave that Miss Whit­ tier remarked rather gravely. "Now you can do something for me, Mr. Weston.” « "What is that? I shall be pleased.” declared Weston readily. *T have a strange lady under my charge. About a week ago 1 came across her lying in the dark near the front steps, where she had fallen. She was poorly dressed and had a little datchel. She was unconscious, looked poor, and 1 had her brought Into the house and have nursed her since. The doctor says she has suffered a con­ cussion of the brain and she Is still delirious. I wish to find her friends.” “You cannot find out who she is?" “Only that she had in her satchel a safety deposit key and receipt in the name of ‘Mary Amory.’” “Zounds !*’ involuntarily exclaimed Weston, and sprang to his feet. "Ex­ cuse me. Miss Whittier, but I am— that is—I think—you have told me something important I will explain later," and Westen bolted instantly for the office of his chief. For, in shadowing Greg Amory, Wes­ ton had found that his sister, Mary Amory, had mysteriously disappeared. , His report of finding her aroused his chief. Within a few hours a grand climax eventuated. The woman had managed to get hold of the stolen jewels from her brother surreptiously. She wished to prevent his continuing In his evil path, and had placed them in a safety deposit vault, intending to find the owner, when her accident befell her. She recovered and shared in the re­ ward. The chief offered Weston a per­ manent powtlon, but Fay dissuaded him. For Fay—sweet, loving Fay—was now his affianced wife, with the sense and ability to build dignified business plans for his future. (Copyright, 1314, by W. O. Chapman.) EARTH WAS ONCE ALL WARM “Mr. Weston,” he said, *‘I am going to be plain with you. I feel certain Royal Meteorological Society Deciares That the Climate Waa Formerly you will never make a detective." “That was a foregone conclusion Almost Uniform. with me several days since," admitted Weston frankly. “I have watched Prof. A.

RHEUMATISM ad Defeats Athletics Score of 5 to 4. by Defenders Give Up Town Attar Siege of Eleven Days. GOWDY IS HERO OF SERIES Fenway Park. Boston, Oct. 13.—The Boston Braves made it three straight on the Athletics on Monday when they won a hard-fought 12- inning game by a score of 5 to 4. The game was played before one of the greatest crowds that ever wit­ nessed a world's series. It was lost by a wild throw by Bush, the nervy Athletic pitcher, ' ‘in the twelfth ‘ — •innlng. Three times the score had been tied. It seemed in the tenth inning that the Athletics had their game won when they worked over two rims and had the Braves 4 to 2. Hank Gowdy, the batting 'sensation of the series, drove a home run into the center field stands In the Braves* half of the tenth and, fired by his ex­ ample, they tore in and put over the tielng run on a base on balls, a single by Evers and a sacrifice. Hank was also responsible for the winning run in the twelfth. He was the flrat man up and doubled. Gowdy stands out as the hero of the series. He drove out two doubles and a home run.

Oct 12.—Antwerp and the forts surrouBdlng the dty are now in complete possession of the Germans, but the greater part of the Belgian army lias escaped. It took the Germans just 11 days to capture one of the strongest fortresses In the world. An nfficfsi admission that the Brit­ ish participated in the defense of Ant­ werp is contained in an admiralty an­ nouncement that three naval brigades with heavy guns had been sent there during the last week of the. German at­ tack. ‘ t . Reach Ostend In Safety. The announcement adds that in ths retreat from Antwerp two of the Brit­ ish brigades reached Ostend safely. The other, however, was cut off to the north of Lokerea (a town of East Flanders, 12 miles northeast of Ghent), and 2.000 of the men were Interned in Holland. The retreat of the Belgian army was accomplished successfully. The losses of the British naval bri­ gades probably will be less than three hundred out of a total of 8,000 men. The fall of Antwerp Is evidence that even the most powerful forts are no match for the colossal howitzers which* the Invaders have successfully -em s ployed against every fortified place that stood In their way. These huge guns open gaps through which the be­ siegers find an entrance for their field artillery and infantry. Enter Through Berchem. The Germans, after shelling the dty itself for many hours, making it un­ tenable. entered the town through the suburb of Berchem. to the east. They had made a breach tn the outer line of forts, some of which were destroyed by the big guns and others blown up by the defenders. The Germans followed similar plans in dealing with the inner belt of forts and at the same time threw shells into the dty which set afire many places. The inner forts, like those farther out, soon spccumbed to the enormous shells, and'on Friday morning several of these forts had fallen, opening the way for the Germans into the dty. By midday they were in ocupatlon of tho town and at 1:80 in the afternoon tho war banner on the cathedral was re­ placed by a white flag, indicating sur­ render. Belgian Army Flees. A few forts continued to hold out, and It was not until 11 o'clock In the morning that the Germans, according to their own official report, were in complete possession of the city and fortresses. When they arrived they found that the Belgian field army and at least part of the garrison had antici­ pated them, aad, like the king and royal family, had escaped. The death roll resulting from the at­ tack on and defense of Antwerp has not been compiled, and probably- the full details never will be known: but all accounts describe it as terribly heavy. The Germans, although their big guns cleared a path for them, had to sacrifice many lives in crossing the rivers and canals and in driving out the defenders, who held the intrenchments to the last The stubborness of the Belgians and of those who went to their assist­ ance cost them dearly also, so that both sides will have long casualty lists. There is no reliable information as to the loss of life in the city and the damage there. Refugees Reach London. Crowds of refugees arrived tn Lon­ don. Most of them left Antwerp Thurs­ day night, and their accounts of the attack are confused. The Belgians themselves, besides destroying the forts, blew up steamers nt the docks and set fire to the petrol stores and everything that could be of uqe to the Invaders. They also took away what the transports could carry. Berchem, where the military and other hospitals, the orphanage and some public buildings nre situated. Is reported to be entirely destroyed. Even if this is an exaggeration, it must be badly damaged, as it was burning at least two days. The Antwerp railway stations also made marks for the shells from ths big guns, but according to some of those who remained In the city the cathedral, although till by shells, is only slightly damaged.

I have not a host of friends, like some men. I am lonely. Life has been so empty for me.

I have been dreaming foolish dreams like these,” he laughed tremulously, "since that night in November, and I have scarcely dared to hope that you. even believed in inc." Dorcas smiled into his gyes. "I have always believed in you. I never lost faith in you or in your genius for one moment. And,” she paused as if making confession, “1 have loved you for a long time, ever since that night, the same night, when you came back and I was so happy.” "That night," said Andrew, “was the miracle moment of my life." “Was it so wonderful as that?” she whispered. “When I think, dearest, of what you have stood for to me, it is a miracle.” “It ie an everyday miracle!” "There are no everyday miracles." said Merry. Then be kissed her again. She turned away from him to stare out at the window again. On the side­ walks the rush of city life went on tumultuously. Half an hour before she had thought the street sordid and ugly. It had changed. The street lights, now clear and white, were circled about ‘ by lovely halos. The voices of the childrqp were sweeter and gentler. Next door the servant, who was still at work, sang a lilting Irish ballad. Through It ran a con­ stant Iteration of “My own sweet lad.” “Dorcas,” Merry spoke hesitatingly, “you said you trusted me?" “1 do." -The girl raised her head with a quick gesture. "I cannot explain now," be began. "I cannot ask you to be my wife until something which looks like an ntter tangle has been straightened out Can you go on trusting, even if I cannot explain?” "Yes," Dorcas laughed. "1 can go op trusting you indefinitely." “Don’t,” be cried, "don’t say—indefi­ nitely. I want you now, darling, and— forever." CHAPTER XXI. From ths Top Gallery.

She put i to press its way up the steps. He pulled his hat down close about bis forehead and the rim fell to his eyes. . When he reached out his hand to the attendant at the door, the man did not look at him; he was trying to stem a tide .of human beings and make cer­ tain that each one bad paid bis way. Wentworth moved inside the door and glanced at the gray coupon, then he pawed to an end seat in the third row. He laid his hat upon the floor, pulled off his damp coat, and waited for the curtain to rise. Although the clatter of voices about him was Insist­ ent. be beard them like a dull Jargon. Once he rose to allow two girls with their escorts to pass, .then seated hinv self again with bis body hunched for­ ward. watching the musicians clamber through a low door below the stage. The leader lifted his baton and the overture began. «A man who pushed unceremoniously .past aroused Enoch from his listless mood. He turned and stared at a girl who sat beside him. The line® on her wan face were etched, not by the years she had lived, but by a girlhood spent in airless places amid the roar of machinery. He sat watching her with an irdpassive stare. A dreamy look crept into her face. The orchestra began to play an inconsequential thing in which there was the trip of dancing feet and a sway of lithe bodies. He could see tho lines smoothing out in her care­ worn face. Her ungloved fingers beat time to the music with perfect rhythm^ Then her hand .went out in an uncon­ scious caress to the thin, shabby lad who sat beside her. He clasped it and turned to her with an eager smile. Wentworth sighed. The curtain rose. People who sat close under the roof listened with a tense stillness, which was never dis­ turbed by the rustle that occasionally ran through the orchestra. The story of the play had grown old, threadbare and uninteresting to Wontworth, but It moved these men and women to the quick. During tho first act the girl beside him turned to her sweetheart and spoke In a tremulous whisper: “She's a cruel devil!" Her eyes wore bent with hatred and scorn upon Zilla Paget, who stood looking down at Merry.' His guilt had been dtecotfhred. He oat beside a table with his face hidden in his out­ stretched arms, while the wife hurled upon him a torrent of bitter contume­ ly, Once his body sfiook with a half­ * Little Julie clasped his stifled sob. were hand, but her terrified eyes . turned upon her mother. Wentworth had seen the woman in a towering passion; now she threw herself into the fury of her role as she bad done in real life, pacing the floor like a caged tiger. She paused at Merry's side half exhausted. "Think of the child,*' he pleaded miserably. “The child—to perdition with the child!" Into Enoch's memory leaped a scene long forgotten. Upon the edge of a battlefield, after a bloody encounter, he had once been pressed into hos­ pital service. Anesthetics were not at hand and he had helped by main strength to hold a mutilated soldlar while the surgeon amputated a shat­ tered bone. The agony ot a groan, which the man tried to stifle, haunted Wentworth for months. Some time in his life Merry must have heard such a sound and was repeating IL Then the woman upon the stage laughed. "Damn her!” whispered the lad, who sat bolding the girl's band. Wentworth smiled absently. He watched Dorcas make her entrance. Something stately and high-mettled, like an unconscious hauteur, had been added to the dignity which was his sister's great charm. This dignity con­ stantly put Zilla Paget at a disad­ vantage; she whs coarsened by it, bru­ talized, and cheapened to a degree. The contrast dawned quickly on a gal­ lery audience. . "Ain’t Miss Wentworth sweet?" whispered the girl by bis side. "Sweet?” repeated her escort. “She’s a peg higher 'n sweet. She's game, game clear to the spine. The peroxide liddy's a bruiser. I'm aching to bat her in the snoot” "You bold your hands off her, Char­ ley,” answered the factory girl with a giggle. “She could lay out your runty little carcass with one swipe.” Enoch stared at the rest of the play through moody eyes. When the cur­ tain fell on the second act Zilla Paget appeared on the stage alone to meet uproarious applause mingled with jeers and hissing. Wentworth gripped the arm of bls chair as he watched her sweep the house with a triumphant round the corner from Broadway. Enoch waited until a throng began “Mr. Wentworth," cried the boy. “Pre been looking everywhere for you. Mr. Oswald wants to see you in his office about some bookings." Enoch descended'without answering him. He paused once to push his arms Into his coat, but he did not enter the office; instead, be turned and walked down Broadway.

The boys will be yere purty quick." The man in the chair lowered his hands and searched for a match to light his pipe. t Air looked at him, but he hadn’t a word to say. He smoked and looked around in a cr.reless way, and finally Bill remarked: ‘‘Htfv yo* nutbin* to say, Charlie?" “Nothin’, ’cept thar won’t be any bangin’,” was the answer. "But you bet thar will be! Thereto the boys with the rope! Stranger, thar’s goln’ to be a leetle exhiblsbun out on the squar*, and It’s free to all. Cum along, prisoner, and if ye try any tricks on me it’ll be death by shoot­ in’!" The prisoner was marched out and everybody followed. About thirty men had gathered outside, and the crowd tramped down the street and around the corner to the public square. When the noose had been flung over Charlie’s head and drawn tight the man called BUI sung out: • _ ? » "Now. then, hev you any remarks to make before the bar! to kicked away?* "I’d just like to say that thar wont be any bangin’," replied the man. ' "Don’t joke in the presence ot death!" ’ "Say, now. who you got yere!” called a voice tn the crowd. "Tenderfoot Charlie!" chorused a dozen men. "Jest wait a mlnit!" A man advanced, took the lantern and held it up to the prisoner’s face, and then cried out: "Waal, you are a nice crowd! That’s no more Tenderfoot Charlie than I be! Den’t nobody kick that barl!" "Stranger, who be you?” asked Bill, as be came forward. "Joe Strong." was the reply.

You owe it to yourself and family to at least see and hear the new Edisons. FURNISS & WOTRING THE REXALL STORE THE NEW NASHVILLE CO-OPER­ ATIVE CREAMERY NOW PRACT1CALLY ASSURED. Names of 165 representative farm­ ers have been secured at the time of going to press. These farmers sim­ ply agree to pay ten dollars, each, into a general fund, which is to be used in the purchase of a plant through which they can market their cream to the best advantage. The plan has been tried out in many places in the state and is rapidly re­ placing the old stock companies which were operated more to the profit of the stockholders than to farmers. Farmers in this . section have heard more or less about the plant at Middleville and are not slow to take hold and push—the greatest draw-back seems to be to find some one who has the time and is willing to go out and call on the farmers and explain the plan. O. M. McLaugh­ lin, J. C. Furniss. C. W. Pennock, Ed. Llebhauser. A. D. Wolfe, Will Hyde, Wm. Flory and R. C. Allen have each given a little time but as all are busy men. but little territory has been covered. It is hoped and requested that farmers who are in­ terested will phone their names in to O. M. McLaughlin, J. C. Furniss or Ed. Llebhauser. each of whom have lists and at the last meeting were appointed to act as a committee on arrangements. The success of the Middleville plant has been mentioned so often in this community that O. M. McLaugh­ lin addressed a letter to Fred O. Stokoe. secretary of the Middleville Co-operative Creamery Co., asking him three questions and on Oct. 1C, received a very courteous and full reply. 1st Question: “When did you start in businessand. how many members have you now?” Answer: "We started May ... 15, 1909, with 250 members, and now have nearly 500 members. 2nd. Question: "Will you please give us the net amount paid per pound for butter fat to the farmer, after taking out all expenses for the months of July, August and Septem­ ber of the present year?" Mr. Stokoe answered as follows: "1st half of July we paid 29c net. 2nd half of July we paid 31c net. 1st half of August we paid 31c net; 2nd half of Aug. we paid 33c net. 1st half of Sept.,.we paid 31c net. 2nd half of Sept, we paid 31c net". 3rd Question: "Will you please tell us what part of the "over-run” is required to pay all expenses?’’ Mr. Stokoe said* that he could best answer this question by sending a copy of their printed annua! report, which we give below exactly as print- finishing his college work, he travel­ ed extensively in the United States and abroad, since which time he has devoted himself to newspaper work, in his home city and en metropolitan newspapers. For a number of years he has been the capable local editor of the Hastings Banner. He comes of good stock, is a young man of en­ ergy and ability, and his Integrity is unquestioned. It is an encourag­ ing sign of the times when such men as Charles Weiasert can be ob­ tained- as candidates for responsible public positions. We hope to see him elected by a rousing majority, for Michigan needs just such men at Lansing. WOMAN'S LITERARY CLUB. The Woman's Literary club had a delightful social afternoon at the home of Mrs. Shilling, Tuesday, Oc­ tober 20. ■ The guests on arriving were served with tea by dainty Geisha girls In a pretty lantern lighted tea room. Af­ ter a short business session, they were favored with a piano solo by Mrs. Gertrude Martens. The review of the book, "Saturday's Child", by Eleanor Norris, was given by Mrs. Matle Glasgow, in her usual charm­ ing manner, in the closing of which she Jeft a lasting Impression of the book by bringing out In a forcible manner its strong points. Miss Gladys Hunt favored us with a violin number with Miss Agnes Rosendale as accompanist and the listeners were so delighted that they were loath to let them go, there-, fore they kindly favored us with sev­ eral other selections. After the serving of dainty refreshments the guests departed, assuring the hostess and her committee that their after­ noon was one of the most delightful in the history ’of the club. W. C.

(TO BID CONTINUEDJ KNEW LITTLE ABOUT POISONS Shakespeare's Knowledge of Drogo Appears to Have Been an Ex­ tremely Limited One. The poisons mentioned in Shake­ speare's works have been made the subject of a study by Doctor Carta*, the eminent French physician. It appear* therefrom hurt the extensive mruiicaL knowledge which Shafcr-epeare is sup­ posed to have possessed, aud which has been advanced by 'he Rocdn the­ orists as, a proof in support of their contention was no more extensive than that of Shakespeare's contemporaries w ho, it further appears, labored under the same misapprehensions as he re­ garding the poteudy of certain philtres and poisons. When, for instance, the ghost of Hamlet's father says that Claudius poured "the Juice of cursed bebenon . (henbane) Into the porches of his ears,” It should be pointed ont that this Juice could not possibly penetrate the drum of tbe ear. But the belief In the deadlines^ of t poison thus intro­ duced Into the system was so genera! al the time that Ambrols© Pare was accused of killing In this manner King Francis J of France, although It is now certain that the king di^d of men­ ingitis caused by Inflammation ert tbe' internaTear.

The latter enjoyed, during the renais­ sance, a great vogue, but experiments have shown that tbe awakening from its effects Is accompanied by violent nausea, so that Juliet would have met her lover In a far from poetical condi­ tion. Moreover, in thia relation, the French physician points out, the dura­ tion of sleep induced by narcotics never approaches 42 hours.

The eyes of the two men met: in those of one was a mute prayer for forgiveness, in the other’s shone gratitude and the old affection grown steadfast. Enoch’s Ups moved. He was trying to speak. Dorcas laid her car close to his mouth. -He wants his keys," she said quickly. The nurse left the bedside and re­ turned with a bunch of small keys strung upon a steel ring. Dorcas laid them in her brother’s hand. It was pitifully inert! . She lifted them and ran them through her fingers, one by one, as a Catholic tells her bends in a rosary- Her gaze was fixed upon his eager eyes. When she touched a shin­ ing biass key a gleam of relief shone In the man’s beseeching eyes. She rose to her‘feet. *T will go at once. Enoch, and find IL I shall know what you want, what­ ever it is, and will bring It to you.” The doctor followed Merry and Dor­ cas to the door. “Don’t come back un­ less I send for you. The exertion has been too much for him.” “This is the Key to a small drawer In Enoch’s desk,” explained the girl. ”1 can probably guess what he wants. 1 ought to show it to him. If his mind is set on something he may sleep quietly when he knows I have found if “I will call you If he does not sleep,” said the doctor. Merry walked to the window and stared vaguely into the darkness. A little clock on the mantel struck three. Once he looked over his shoulder at Dorcas. He could hear the crackle of stiff paper as she unfolded a few long, narrow sheets which were tied In a thin bundle. “I have found Enoch's will and a number of business papers. Here are his bankbooks and tbe contract with Oswald for the play. There are bonds and things of that sort—things I do not understand. 1 imagine,” the girl’s voice broke into a seb, “it must be the will he wants." “Probably, It is. dear,” said Andrew gently. She laid the papers on the desk and lifted a yellow envelope. There was no writing upon it; it was unsealed. She took out a slip of pa­ per aud stood motionless while she read it. Then her fingers moved in a groping way to turn on a blaze of electricity under the green globe above the desk. “The room is ho dark,” she mur­ mured. She dropped the paper upon the blotter in front of her and lehned upon tbe desk with he face between her hands. “Andrew," cried Dorcas with a stifled moan, "come here!” He crossed the room and stood looking down over the girl’s shoulder. "See.” shg whispered, “see what I have found! Tell me what Is it?” Her fingers pointed to tbe bond Rh® the first time I saw you. I have told you about it—when you sat out there, waiting for a ’bus." "Yes,” he whispered. "Then afterwards,” she raised her head with a quick gesture, “we went to Juniper Point TJiere you told me about your play—and you went away to write it?" She paused, waiting for Merry to answer. She did not raise her eyes. Her head was bent as If she took the shame of her brother upon her own shoulders. “Yes." The man spoke In a Blow whisper. “Then you came back, with the play finished, and read it to Enoch, and he —he claimed It—because he held this against you?" She laid a trembling finger upon the sheet of paper. "Yes.” Dorcas sat perfectly still with her arms lying on the desk. Merry bent over and gently touched her cheek. “Oh!” she shrank away from him with a shuddering cry. "Oh, how could you let him do such a thing! it was so cruel, so inconceivably cruel, so shameful, and so. unjust! It was such a mistake! Why did you let my brother do such a thlng^” "I don’t know.’’ Merry spoke ab­ ruptly. “Tell me why you let him do It,” persisted the girl. “I don't believe I can explain—to you." There was a hopeless tone in the man’s voice. "For a while it seemed to me like a poker debt. Women cannot understand a poker debt." “No, 1 cannot understand,’’ con­ fessed Dorcas. Then she went on hur­ riedly: “Was that your only reason?" “No, I felt that way at first Then— it seemed foolish. One night I deter­ mined for a minute to set myself free, to get the play back, and to make you understand. It was the night—that night—when you took me home—when you found me In the—when you gave me new courage and a fresh outlook on life—when you made a man of me.” . Dorcas rose and stood facing him with her eyes searching him. “Why didn't you do it?” she asked. “Because." said Merry unsteadily “do you remember you—no I—I— asked you—when a man had fallen as low as I had If he ha4 anything left that would pull him '.o his feet. You said. 'Yes, so long as he has hon­ or, there is no end of a chance for him.'" “Oh!" cried Dorcas ag' ast. “Oh. to think that I should ha’ ; put that In your way!"“Put what In my wa.’ . Dearest, that night I came around tha corner—I had/ been wandering in the desert. Suddenly I found sunshine, 1 found love and hope. I found you. That night—when you went away—1 began to understand that It was the most wonderful chance God ever put In a man’s way." Aa instant later hie arms were about her and she felt his kiss upon her cheek. “Don’t,” cried Dorcas. "Don’t!" She treed herself from his clasp and held him away from her. “Can't you un­ derstand. don’t you see. Andrew, after what Enoch did to you. that I cannot be your wife?" “You cannot—be—my—” He stared at her In bewildered dismay. "Yes. that Is what 1 mean." she whis­ pered tremuously. "Don't you under­ stand? How could I marry you with tha thought of this horrible wrong constantly between ub? I could never forget it. Remember it was Enoch, my brother—don’t you understand?—my brother—who did this! How could you gn on loving me and—” "Remember—it was your brother who saved my life,” said Merry pas sipnately. “How could 1 go on lov­ ing you. dearest? How could I stop loving you? 1 could go through hell for you. and yet I confess I would rather be with you in heaven.” He flushed and his face grew grave. “You are mine—all mine—and I am yours, so wholly and truly yours that I have grown to think of this world as mere­ ly one spot—one little spot—where we can make a home and 1 can have you beside me—for the rest of my life.” “Was it This That Laid Behind Ev­ ery Thing?" • .

The man clasped it between his own, Chen she raised her eyes to bls. “Was it this, Andrew, this that lay behind everything—that made you give up your play and—” Merry's lips parted, but he did not speak. Dorcas glanced at the date. She withdrew her hands from his and put her Angers across ner eyes as if trying desperately to remember some­ thing. “Why,” she cried suddenly, “the date was May 29, last year; that was two days after I came home from the con­ vent.” Her forehead knitted into a puzzled frown. "It must have bees that night — that morning — when Enoch had a stag party, and I came in, after you had all gone. It waa in the Daylight. Wentworth s chamber was dim as twilight when Merry entered. The outer world lay white and breathless under a dazzling sun. and the sadden change to a darkened sickroom for a moment made Andrew grope vaguely on the threshliold. As his eyes be­ came accustomed to the dusk he saw a white-gowned nurse standing beside the bed. Under the sheet lay the motlon less outline of the man's long body, the head wound with snowy bandages. Merry's bands gripped to­ gether convulsively. The nails cut into bis palms and an ache which hurt lugged at his heart. Wentworth's chamber held memories for him: be thought of nights when he had lain helpless upon that same bed and . En' • h had taken care of him in a th-* *e days 1 1 an.-oring fashion he bad seen the rugged face grow wan from want of sleep;* still for him a smile always lit the stern features. Suddenly, as the fast remnant of an old scab sloughs off. ©very fragment of hatred, of resentment at Injustice, of pain and rebellion which fbr ten months had been, warping his nature and clouding his life fell away from Merry’s heart. The love, tbe Implicit confidence, even the boyish depend­ ence upon the older man, came flood­ ing back Into his soul like a high tide. All that had stood between him and Wentworth seemed unimportant com­ pared with the vital fact that they had been and still were friends. When the nurse beckoned he stole noiselessly across the floor. She point­ ed to a chair by the bedside. “He has dozed off," she explained in a low whisper. "He asked for you just be­ fore he went to sleep. I told him you were coming. Sit here so that be can see you when he wakes up." Merry dropped Into the chair. He began to ace perfectly through the gloom. Wentworth's grim, gaunt face had startled him for a minute. The eyelids were closed, with depths of shadow below them. The man's domi­ nating nose stood out like a silhouette againBt the white pillow. The mus­ tache had been shaved away aud lines. Hr turned imperatively io th* nurse "Fash back the curtains, won't you? Push them away back. There’s a gio rious suit shining—let it in." The woman understood. She ran ur a curtain and flung back the shutters The room grew suddenly white and radiant. "There!" cried Merry. "Talk of go ing home in the dark? See how the sun is shining! Go home Ln the dark, the idea!"’. -a A pathetic eagerness flushed Into the eyes of the man on the bed. The glare of the sunshine showed clearly tbe wanness and ghastly shadows in the'bandaged face. “She says,” the actor pointed over his Shoulder at the white-gowned nurse, "she says you are out on the highroad—coming back to stay with us — indefinitely, you understand. Enoch? She knows. Don't you?" He looked into the woman's face with ar­ dent pleading in his eyes. She. smiled and nodded. She. was the embodiment of health and vigor. Her stalwart body and her wholesome rosy face were pleasant for sick eyes to look upon. “Yes. you’ve come back," she said emphatically. "When the doctor left an hour ago he said we had pulled you safely around the cor­ ner. Now all the job I have cut but for me Is to see you arc kept quiet and patient and happy." "Yes, happy—that’s the biggest part of tbe prescription,” repeated Merry with a laugh. The sick man looked up. Tbe con­ fession In his eyes was pathetic. “It seems ages since I was happy, ’Boy." "Well, you’re not going to be al­ lowed to think, even to think of past ages. You've only to lie there and get well. It Is our business—a sort of job cut out for Dorcas and me—to keep you happy. See?” "I see.” whispered Enoch. The flick­ er of a smile stole into his face. It brought peace and a pale, eager hope­ fulness, ns If a thought of restitution and atonement was dawning In the man’s soul. The nurse lowered the curtain and blotted out the radiance which floodecKthe room. “The doctor has ordered quiet," she whispered, "and Bleep—as much sleep as possible.” Merry rose and laid his hand on Wentworth's forehead. "You hear her orders, old man?" He laughed gaily. "It's no use running full tilt against the nursing profession. Each one of them thinks she knows it all! But I'm not going to Bay 'Good-by.' I mean to hang around here from dawn to dark and drop in every time I can sneak past her—or the doctor!" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Dropped on His Knees Beside the Bed. chiseled by days and nights of pain, wrinkled about the quiet mouth. Merry jat staring at the haggard face with a dull, tugging hope in his soul, which he could not voice even to Dorcas. He wanted time—time enough to tell Enoch that the old enmity was dead, that the old love was alive, strength­ ened by new ties. A spasm of pain ran through the sl<?k man s face, wrinkling the pallid forehead and twitching tbe lips. Merry looked up at the nurse. She read the question in his eyes. "No," she whispered, “he is going to live. His brain Is clear now. He has a great constitution. That was the only thing that saved him." The woman had a strong, intelligent face and her manner waa full of calm conviction. She was not young and must have watched over many a bat­ tle between life and death. She knew! Merry sighed with relief and peace of mind, even with a mad throb of joy. The thought of Dorcas and the future came with the conviction that there was still time to take up the old bonds of love and to begin life again. The face upon the pillow moxed and Enoch’s eyes opened slowly. Recog­ nition flashed into them, then a smile crept about the lined mouth. “Enoch!" The young man dropped on his knees beside the bed. his fin­ gers stole under the sheet and caught In a strong grasp tbe hand which he bad thought was slipping from his reach. Wentworth’s eyes held a.breathless question. "You were not hart?" he whispered. "No, old man; no. I didn't have a scratch. You took it alL You saved my life, as yon have done more than once, and. Enoch, you understand— we are back where we stood in the old days, with everything forgotten, everything buried, buried so deep that neither of us will ever give it an­ other thought.” The thrill of warmth over that strongest of all things human—a bro­ ken friendship made warm and secure again—ran like tbe vigor of transfused blood through tbe veins of the sick man. Happiness flushed into the wan face and his feeble strength returned Merry's grip. Andrew laughed aloud. "You under­ stand, Enoch, we are friends—friends that nothing can separate again as long as life lasts.” The wistfulness of gratitude dimmed the eyes of the sick man. "As long as life lasts! That won't be a great while. Boy,” he whispered huskily; "only now—It .is all right—and It seems different. I felt like a coward a little while ago. You remember that writing chap who died lately? He said something just before he went. 1 thought of it this morning—Tm afraid to go home in the dark'—wasn’t that what he said? 1 felt lonely—and I know—” , "Listen, Enoch." Merry spoke with a tone of passionate conviction. "Look here, old man. you’re not going home in the dark, not yet. You've got thirty or forty years before that bomegoH-” Though women were not admitted as students in German universities until 1905, they now number more than three thousand and compose more than 5 per cent of the entire student body.

Grand Jury's Action In New York Is Result of Government's InvestL gallon of the New Haven . Railroad. New York. Nov. 3.—Criminal Indict­ ments charging that they combined and conspired to monopolize com­ merce in the transportation business were returned by a federal grand Jury against William G. Rockefeller, Yewis Cass Ledyard, Theodore N. Vail, George F. Baker. John Billard and 16 other men famous tn the industrial and financial world. The indictments are the result of the federal investigation into New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. One hundred and sixty corporations are named in the Indictments. Bench Warrants Issued. The indictments were returned be­ fore Judge Foster, who immediately issued bench warrants for all the de­ fendants. In addition to those already mentioned the other men indicted are: George McCulloch Miller. Charles F. Brooker, William Skinner, D. Newton Burney, Robert W. Taft, James S. El­ ton. James S. Hemingway. Charles M. Pratt. A. Heaton Robertson, Frederick F. Brewster. Henry K. McHarg. Ed­ ward D. Robinson. Alexander , Coch­ rane, Thomas DeWitt Cuyler, Edward Milligan and Francis T. Maxwell. The manner in which the alleged illegal combine was brought about Is thus set forward in the indictment: "Said conspirators, taking advantage of the fact that the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad has the only railroad of any importance lead­ ing from New York city, Brooklyn and Jersey City easterly Into the states of Connecticut. Rhode Island. Massachu­ setts. Vermont. Maine and New Hamp­ shire. and. treating the New Haven as a nucleus, have conspired to bring as many other common carriers and their properties and facilities under the influence, management and domi­ nation and ownership of them as they would be able to reach from time to time." It took the grand Jury just 15 min­ utes to vote the indictments. Tbe body convened at 10:30 o’clock and for 15 minutes James W. Osborn. Frank W. Swacker and R. L. Betts, special assistant United States attorneys, were in the Jury room. Warrants Given to U. S. Marshals. Immediately after Daniel C. Under­ hill, foreman of the Jury had handed the indictments up to the court Judge Foster began the Issuing of bench warrants. These were given at once to deputy United States marshals to serve. When the defendants ap­ peared in court the U. S. district at­ torney demanded a 15,000 bond from each of them. A surety company signed the bonds and all were re­ leased. The period of time covered In the Indictments, over which tbe alleged illegal combine existed, extends from July 2, 1890, to the ’’day of the find­ ings and presentation of these indict­ ments.” In other words, the Indict­ ments cover a period of more than twenty-four years. According to tbe indictments tbe persons named conspired to gain ab­ solute ascendancy over the transporta­ tion systems In New England, namely, steam railroads, traction lines and steamship companies. It mentioned the names of the chief arteries of the New Haven system as mediums through which the control was secured by stock ownership and "otherwise.’’ TAKE MANY RUSS PRISONERS Entire Russian Line Is Said to Be Ad- Berlin (by wireless zla London).

An eager smile came into her brother's eyes when she opened the door. He lay propped up with pillows. She sat down beside his bed. "Shall I read?” she asked. "No; go on with your sewing. I like to see your hands fiy with that bright silk between your fingers. Men have an idea that women are one­ sided creatures. They are mistaken. You sew beautifully, and yet, while you stitch, I think of your 'Cordelia.'" It was the first time, since his acci­ dent that Wentworth had mentioned the theater or business of any sort Dorcas began to trace out the pattern she was embroidering with the point of her needle. Her fingers trembled. She spoke without looking up. "You haven't cared to hear about business, Enoch. There are some things you may want to know, since you are strong again. Mr. Oswald sailed for Englund a fortnight ago. He hated to go, leaving you before the critical point was passed, but the Strand Theater offered open time for August and it had to be attended to. He is rehearsing an English com­ pany now for 'The House.' ” “Didn't he want you for it?” asked Wentworth. “Yes; but I should not have gone even if you had been well. He has given 'Cordelia' to Miss Embury, an English girl. He says she will play it beautifully. We are to open here on the twentieth of October. Tbe whole company has been re-engaged.

Wentworth started as if he had been struck. "Andrew, never use that word about me again! It wasn't courage that made me snatch you from death. Oftentimes men who in cold blood are utter cowards leap forward and rescue some one from death. That Isn't courage!” He paused, as If a word had'escaped him. "It is blind, ipstinctlve impulse—the natural Impulse you find even in a savage." “You're too weak yet to argue." Merry's voice was conclusive.

"Do you think." the actor paused again and asked anxiously, "do you think that you are strong enough yet to at­ tend to business?” "This Isn't business.'

Enoch leaned back against ! the pillow and began to destroy tbe season ta figures which would have terod down Into the hollow of his gaunt palm. He shook them into the envelope and handed it to Merry, who took it without s word and suppl'd It between the leaves of the bank­ ' book. /'If you can trust me.

Isn’t It restitution enough to have saved my life?" "No," Enoch spoke with swift pas­ sion, “no, it Isn’t restitution. Don’t stand in my way. You have to humor sick men, you know. Besides.

Wentworth turned in bed and clasped his hands around one bent knee. “Years ago?’ ■ he began brus­ quely, “I was wandering about In the Tennessee mountains on an aasignment when I fell in with a chap whb ' taught psychology in Yule. He was nothing wonderful, but his science was fascinating. Time and again, since those days. I have planned, if I could find the leisure, to go into psychology and study the thing out Still, any man who knocks about the world as 1 have done learns to puzzle things out for himself. There must be some­ thing alluring, though, to be able to reduce the promptings of one’s own soul to a science and then to work out a problem In yourself. Don't you thipk so?” "I should Imagine so. Still, it's an unopened book to me," Merry admit­ ted. “We used to sit and talk every night around the campfire. I remember once this young MacGregor explained to me why a man we had both known committed murder. He killed his wife first, then, horror-stricken, shot himself. It's a common enough story, you read It In the papers every day of the week, but It came close to us because we had both known the fellow well. He was a decent, quiet, cheerful citizen, with a genial, kindly way about him. His taking off seemed a mystery. None of us had even seen him angry. Suddenly he turned Into a flaming fiend, a murderer, and a sui­ cide. Nothing but Insanity or the Yale man’s theory explained IL” "What was his theory?" Wentworth paused for a minute with a haunted look In his eyes. "He claims that the morals of every human being are molded during the first twenty years of his life. Into a fairly decent career there comes occasionally—for ' the life of me I can't remember his technical name for it—1 should call it a moral lesion. Some sin which a man has committed, and you might say lived down, before he was twenty, crops out again years after and It conquers him. Each time he rnay repent and turn over a new leaf. The world looks on him not as an Admir­ able Crichton perhaps, but as a toler­ ably good fellow. Then suddenly, without the ghost of a warning, even after he imagines he has outgrown the tendency to that particular sin, there comes a temptation, and he goes under as If his backbone was gristle. He falls as quick as that!” Wentworth paused for a moment and snapped bis fingers. “Curious, tan I it?" he added. “It certainly Is curious,'* agreed Merry. "When the career of this murderer was brought to the light of day, they found that once when he was a school­ boy, and again, when a friend stole hta sweetheart, he might have committed murder If a weapon had been at hand. The third time a gun lay close to bis elbow." Andrew Merry did not speak, but sat watching Enoch with bewilderment in his eyes. "I am going to tell you about two lesions which occurred in my own life. There was a third—you know about that one yourself." Across the pale face of the invalid swept a wave of scarlet; then he be­ gan to talk slowly and hesitatingly. "I was in a Southern academy the first time it happened. I must have been seventeen or thereabouts. Prizes were t» be given for a public oration and people were coming from everywhere to hear us. The governor was to sd- of the big lawyers of the state.

There was a long pause. Wentworth turned bis eyes from Merry and stared out at the window. A trumpet vine climbed over the back of the ‘Waverly Place house and one scarlet blossom hung vivid between him and tbe sun­ shine. "Say. old fellow," said Merry in a low voice, "you and I are friends, closer friends than we ever were.

"I sat there in the shadow of the wall listening. It was young David Ross practising his oration.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN If stains have been neglected and fixed by soap in the laundry . it may be necessary to apply dilute oxalic acid or chloride of lime, or to treat them with lemon juice and salt, afterward exposing the articles to the air and sunshine. To remove mildew stains on lin­ en dissolve one Ounce of chloride ot lime in one pint of cold water, then add three pints of boiling water. Soak the stains in this from three to twelve hours. Remove, rinse thoroughly and send to the laundry. If the chloride of lime is not thor­ oughly washed out the fabric may be injured. To remove tar stains rub the spot first with lard and then with soap. Leave for an hour and then wash in hot water softened with ammo­ nia. If traces still remain, rub with turpentine.

New York, Nov. 17.—Two men who saw the British superdreadaaught Au­ dacious lying helpless in a heavy sea some twenty-seven miles northeast of Lough Suilily shortly after she had struck a mine on October 27. arrived here on the steamer New York from Liverpool. They confirmed the stories of the loss of the warship that had previous­ ly reached here and added numerous details. One statement they made was that the Audacious might have been floating today had she not been blown up by the British cruiser Liverpool at 9 a. m. on the day she was disabled through striking the mine. The men who told tbe story were James Rupert Beames, leader of the orchestra on the White Star liner Olympic, which rescued tbe crew of the Audacious and made fruitless jfforts to tow the battleship to shoal water, and Hugh Griffiths, one of the orchestra’s musicians. The Audacious was steaming in a squadron when bit and the rest of the squadron speeded away, fearing a sub­ marine attack. The Liverpool was left to do what it could. "Tucmday morning soon after breakland but not tn sight of IL we saw four or five miles away a British dread naught, a cruiser and a torpedo boat We made toward it and found H. M S.

With a check book in his pocket and his money in this bank, he can pay out-any amount he has occasion to use, make exact change and know that the proper party will receive his money. During the busy season, he may send his checks by mail, often saving a long trip to town. Likewise, such checks as he may receive can be mailed to us and his account credited. These sums are then sub­ ject to his order or check. The one fact that his phecks, when cancelled and re­ turned to him, are receipts for. each payment made, makes a check account with this bank an important factor in the proper management of the farmers’ business.

Wednesday af Good Ilcslth week, a thousand school boys and girls be­ tween the ages of 9 and 20 years heard Charles M. Carson, factory manager-of the Cadillac Motor Car Company, Detroit, tell of his experi­ ence with the cigarette among work­ ing men and boys. Accompanied by Secretary D. C. Vandercook of the Barry County Committee of -the Y. M. C. A.. Mr. Carson drove 50 miles through the cold wind which blew that day. rode another 50 miles on the railroads of the county, and gave five addresses. He appeared before the school children at Nashville, Hastings. Middleville and Freeport, everywhere receiving the closest at­ tention. Withqut any pyrotechnics. In a quiet, unassuming’ way, this mana­ ger of 7.000 working men and boys related how ten years experience In handling men had caused him to know that the cigarette smoking is not only dangerous to the health of the growing boy but that It Impairs his efficiency and makes him of less use to the men who employ him. "We don’t think thia, but we know It," said he with great positiveness, "and l^ecause of It on November 28. 1911. we posted a notice In our shops saying In part: ’Boys who smoke cigarettes we do not care to employ or keep in our employ. In the future we will not hire any one whom we know to be addicted to this habit. It la our desire to weed it entirely out of the factory just as soon as it la practicable. We will ask every one in our factory who sees the seriousness of this habit to use their influence In having it stamped out. ’We have two objects in interesting ourselves in this matter: First, to help men and boys; Second, we be­ lieve that men who do not smoke cigarettes or frequent, the saloon can .make better automobiles than those that do.’ ” Mr. Carson related several in­ stances in which efficient and skilled laborers had gradually deteriorated until It became necessary to dis­ charge them. He said that ten or fifteen automobiles are stolen every day in Detroit. Whenever these cars are afterwards found, said he. In them are always found cigarette butts, and if the thief is ever caught hla fingers always bear the stains of cigarettes. "And so we decided." aald he, "that if all the bad people smoke, it is bad for all the good onea to smoke. 1 am looking forward to the day when it will be aa disgraceful for a man to be seen on the streets smok­ ing a cigarette as it is now consider­ ed disgraceful to see him standing before the bar of a saloon. . “Remember these two things," he urged. "A great many business men are refusing to hire young men who smoke cigarettes. Henry Ford, the employer of 17,000 men and boys, will not employ them. Thomae A. Hl« Heart Failed Him.

Darling of the University of Michigan as saying that many cases pt cancer of the lip are caused by constant use of a pipe, and Dr. M. L. Holm, state bacteriologist, who says that the cigarette Is more dangerous than the pipe or cigar because ita size permits a freer circulation of the air, thus causing a larger amount of nicotine, a deadly poison, to con­ dense. Mr. Carson felt his trip through Barry County was well worth put­ ting, aside his work for the day. "We must begin with these boys," said he. "There Is litttle we can do to change the men." The lecture In Nashville was held at the opera house. Supt. Appleton presided. School work was laid aside for the lecture In the morning, and In the afternoon the English work was based on what the pupils read from their copies ot "The Little White Slaver.” 4600 DOLLAR You Will Not Dread getting into your corset if it is a J.

"Tbe hurt will pass." he spoke after a blL from a swelling heart. “I shall go borne. Tonight sjteiled the ruin of my mission. Gotz will fight me naw from a personal basis.

CHURCHILL TELLS SITUATION First Lord of the Admiralty Says England Could Lose Twelve 'Dread­ naughts and Retain Naval Superiority. London, Nov. 27.—The British bat­ tleship Bulwark was blown up aud sunk In the estuary ol the Medwity river. Between 700 and SOI) men were lost including Capt. Guy Belater, her commander, and ail her officers. Only 12 of. her crew were saved. It Is announced officially that the ex­ plosion w as Interior land originated in the ship's magazine? The disaster is the most appalling, with the exception of tbe loss of the Audacious, the British navy has suf­ fered In the war. It is even more of a shock than the loss of the Abouklr, Creasy and Hogue at the hands of a single submarine In the North sea, for the Bulwark was destroyed from with­ in—destroyed utterly1 and instantly. The men aboard her had not a fight­ ing chance for their lives. Sinks In Three Minutes. The band was playing aboard the Bulwark. Near her were anchored several other ships. Alongside tho Bulwark pas a lighter. From it were being loa^wl^over the side of the 15,000-ton batclesbip fresh ammunition stores for her L24ncb and six-inch guns. Suddenly a terrific explosion oc­ curred In the bowels of the ship. A great cloud of smoke arose, envelop? ing the Bulwark and shutting her from slghL A great white Hash of Dre streaked through the black veil; the smoke cloud thickened and roiled out­ ward and upward. . Practically every pane of glass with­ in three miles was shattered. Debris Wft® scattered six miles. The Bulwark was built In 1899. Ehe was 400 feet long and 75 feet in the beam. She was heavily constructed with Krupp armor and carried the fol­ lowing armament. Four 12-lnch guns, 12 six-inch guns. 16 three-inch guns and six three-pounders. In addition she carried two machine guns and four 12-lnch torpedo tubes. She carried ,a crew of 800 men. Three British Ships Sunk. German submarines have sunk two more British steamships and a Ger­ man mine has sent to the bottom a British naval collier., according to ad­ mission of the British admiralty. The submarine victims were tbe merchantmen Malachite’ and Primo. They were destroyed in the English channel Their crews were saved. The Khartoum struck a mine off Grimsby on the’ south bank of the Humber The collier’s crew was land­ ed at Grimsby Churchill Seeks to Allay Fear. A supreme effort to allay th: grow­ ing terror of the British people was made In an extraordinary speech In the house of commons by Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty. He reviewed the operations of the Brit­ ish fleet In the war and contrasted tbe present and prospetclve strength ot the British fleet with that of the Ger­ man fleet, declaring new warships were being finished rapidly tn Eng­ land now that Great Britain could lose one dreadnaught every month for a year and still retain her present su­ periority over the Germans. Referring to criticisms of the ad­ miralty’s failure to utilize Its sub­ marines as effectively as the Germans had done. Churchill said tbe fact that British submarines bad been unable to produce results on a large scale was due to the “seldom offered opportunity to attack."

VERY PRETTY DISPLAYS IN BUSINESS PLACES. Farmers & Merchants Bank. In its handsome new quarters, this prosperous financial .institution is fairly breathing the Christmas spirit of happiness and good will to all. The meaning of such an institution as this to a town like Nashville can hardly be estimated, for they have added much to the prosperity and general welfare of the community. Always substantial, always ready to accommodate within the limits ot reason, always dependable, many a Nashville business man and farmer knows how much genuine help such an establishment is in time of pres­ sure or of need. Every year they help to make Christmas a happy time, for a great many people, who have saved their money and had four per cent interest added to It, so that when they need money for Christmas buying they have It ready and handy. That the progressive and accommodating spirit of this institution is ap­ preciated by the public is Bhown by the large and continually increasing amount of their deposits, which have long ago placed this bank well above the half-million mark. They are presenting this year to their friends and customers very handsome calen­ dars and practical and substantial coin purses. They are also giving out to those interested a book of im­ mense practical value, "Michigan Laws Made Plain", a compendium of the statutes of Michigan, condens­ ed Into 100 pages, not to make every man his own lawyer, but to acquaint the nian who reads it with practically all that is necessary to be known of the actual working points of thelaws The Farmers & Merchants bank is an enterprising, progrqesive institu­ tion, and one of which every resi­ dent of Nashville and vicinity may well be proud. Very few towns In Michigan the size of Nashville can boast of as solid and reliable a bank­ ing institution.

We can’t imagine a place where Santa Claus appears more willing and de­ termined to make everybody happy in the possession of a useful and sen­ sible Christmas present than in this popular ahd busy store.

Nashville has one man who is a crank on good meats, and that is F. F. Everts, who runs the north end market, and it you buy your Christ­ mas meats there you will be high­ ly pleased. Mr. Everts conducts an exceptionally neat market, and it is as clean as a pin all the way through. He is always glad to have customers inspect the work rooms of his market at any time, for they are always clean. He is now making prepara­ tions for the holiday trade, and will have on hand in ample time a com­ plete stock of all kinds of meats, poultry, etc., so that you may be cer­ tain of being able to get just exactly what you want, and you will get it at the right prices, too. Home-made sausage, pressed meats, pickled meats, fresh oysters direct from Bal­ timore, and everything else in the line of delicious viands for the Christmas table. He also carries a select line of fine bottled and canned goods in ketchups, relishes, sauces, soups, pickles, etc., and the prices are very reasonable. If you have it in your mind to make this a practical Christmas, we can safely advise you that here is one of the best pixies in town to step in­ to on your purchasing trip, and this fact can easily be verified by turning to their display advertisement in this issue and scanning the list of articles therein named, in which you can surely find something suited to the holiday needs of any age and any person. Mr. Glasgow has taken pains to select such articles as will commend themselves to your beet judgment, and has placed a reduced price on all of them so as to enable you to make your money go just as fur as possible. There are many other desirable articles in stock, aside from those mentioned, that will prove excellent presents, and If you will step into the store the boys will take pleasure tn showing you around ■ and in assisting you in every way pos­ sible. The stock is complete and well assorted, and the goods are all of such a good quality that you need not hesitate to offer ahy of them to your best friend or any of your rela­ tives. .McDerby’s.

FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS , The question of what you shall buy for your various relatives and friends will 'be quickly and satisfactorily solved if you call at this store when on your shopping tour. We have on display appropriate gifts for each and every member of the family, and will do our best to assist you in making a selection. 1 I I b We present herewith an excellent picture of a new American Special feed mill which J. B. Marshall A Martens have just added to their al­ ready complete equipment, and which puts them in shape to do more and better feed grinding than ever before. This American Special is the very last word In feed grinders, and Is certainly a beauty. It has its own individual electric motor, and is therefore always ready to do bus!-. ness. It runs at a speed of 2,000 revoludons per minute, and will grind from one to two bushels of feed per minute, so that a matter of fifteen or twenty minutes will turn off a wagon load of feed. It will do all kinds of grinding, and do it in better shape than you have ever seen it done before. If you want the cobs ground with the corn, it will do it all right, and as fine or us coarse as you like. The little mill is surely a wonder. It looks small, but its capacity is great, and it is al­ ways ready for business. The hustling firm of J. B. Marshall & Martens is to be congratulated up­ on keeping up to the times in every way, and the addition of this new mill to their extensive plant is only another proof ’that they are trying their best to give the people of Nashr ville and vicinity the best of service 'in their line. for the advancement of our com-: THE CHRISTMAS NEWS. m unity?

Fifty-two weeks In the year the editor of a newspaper is a machine, grinding out news for his readers. He has no regular working hours. News is news and bis standard is that the news belongs to his patrons. He works when there is work to be done, which means that he works al! the time. His mission in life is to boost along his fellow man and busi­ ness In general of his home and near­ by towns. This he does conscien­ tiously and to the best ot bls ability sticking to It from morning until night every day in the week and flftytwo weeks in the year. The great majority of the editor’s subscriptions, too, expire about this time of the year, either In December or the first of January. He looks forward to this season as his harvest —the time when he will be rewarded for his year's labor. If you. dear reader, are one whose subscription has expired or is about t-> expire, send us your renewal, now. It is due us; we have earned it, and you will feel all the better for start­ ing out on a new year with your pa­ per paid ahead.

A girdle of wide plaid ribbon, fin­ ished with a sprightly bow of two loops and two ends, is shown in the picture. It makes a Christmas gift that will delight every -woman who likes to keep abreast with the mode. The glidle portion is boned to spread the ribbon and hold it in place with­ out pins. The bow is simply tied and may be untied and the length wrapped about the figure if preferred. — Rubber has many usee, even to re­ pairing the human body externally. Tbe great Julian surgeon Fiezchi conceived the Idea of using poroua rubber In the form of fine sponge, wanting upon the affinity between It and human tissue to bring about .a perfect fusion. Doctor Fleechl ctrilod this "nuova came,** or "new flesh.*’ He expefl■nented with it upon animals before lie tried It on his patients. He In•erted bits of sterilized rubber sponge tn various parts of the bodies of dogs and rabbits and found that In a very I abort time they were not only en- i ▼eloped, but thoroughly penetrated by granular tissue without any intammatlon, suppdratlon or other ill Having thus proved its value. Doc­ tor Fleschl used tbe porous rubber In healing two large wounds resulting from the reduction of hernias. He inserted It where II would be most efficacious In strengthening the mus­ cular walls that retain tbe Internal argans. The wounds healed without complication. A year after tbe operation an X-ray examination revealed the rubber still In place and apparently become an Integral part of the tissues. DOCKS STRETCH FOR MILES Millions of Tons of Shipping Annually Use the Quays and Wharves of London. As London is the gvorld's largest market, so, also, is It the world's lead­ ing port. Yet few people—least of all Londoners—seem to realize what mar­ velous hives of industry are the docks of the metropolis. In the course of a year more than 10,000,000 tons of shipping use the quays and wharves that constitute the port of London; and the value of the foreign trade alone Is something like 190,000,000 sterling—about a quarter, that is to say, of the annual exports •and imports of the United Kingdom. It would take a million men a year to produce the amount of tea that passes annually through the port The figures relating to other imports, such as grain, timber, wool, meat, sugar, wines and tobacco, are on the same enormous scale. , In the wine and spirit vaults at the London docks the gangways where the wine is stored are 28*4 miles in length. For the wool trade the port of London authority provides a space of 32 acres and it can store at oue time more than a million frozen carcases of mutton and the 120,000 tons of beef that Aus­ tralia, New Zealand and South Amer­ ica send to London each year. styles in girdles and sashes to choose NOTHER' protlr tin m.de ot plain ribbon is pictured in the pair of boudoir slippers.

These soles aro bought ready made and cost very little. In sewing the ribbon to tha soles it is fulled slightly across the toe and Joined In a felled seam In the back.

DOWNING A sash of dotted satin ribbon, designed for a party gown, may be used as a model for making up any of the soft fancy ribbons, suited to dressy wear. It requires ribbon about four or five Inches wide, of which three lengths are sewed together to form the girdle. This is boned at the sides and back to bold It in place and fastened in tbe back with books and eyes. Over the fastening a flat bow of three loops and one end Is placed with the loops lying lengthwise on tbe figure. Narrow ribbons are sewed together to form wide girdles and ribbons ot moderate width are bordered with black velvet ribbon, from an Inch to two Inches wide. The flowered Dres­ den* and rich, brightly colored bro­ cades are very effectively bordered in this way. Sometimes narrow shaded or flowered ribbons are joined by means of narrow velvet ribbons, a half inch in width.

Therefore ball games and other games are organiz­ ed so that the students can gain- the physical as wel’ aa the intellectual culture. A-student could not get along very well in school if all his time were given to the getting of his leraons. If he is given no time for outside exercise his mind would become morbid and he could get hie lessons only with great difficulty. While a boy who takes the physical culture way be out In the open air playing some game and exercising his muscles. While playing, he has for­ gotten all about his lessons. There­ fore his mind is free at the close ot exercise when he comes Into the school room to study; his mind Is clearer than the mind of the boy who sat in the school room all the play time, trying to master a lesson. Therefore every school should pro­ vide some kind of physical culture. We have read that in early times stu­ dents had no physical-training. Many were weak in body as a result, and frequently their minds would be gloomy. We are glad that times have changed, that almost every school has some kind ot physical culture for students.

Chakri-Throwlng Might Well Be Con­ sidered ac an Art Rather Than a Pastime. In front of the mauspleum of a holy saint—Mohamed Ghpus—a fair is held annually Gwalior ” on the outskirts of- (India) town, about the middle of the rainy season. Tbe moot noticeable fea­ ture of tbe fair Is the chakri-throw. A cbakri is a piece of iron something like a spindle, over which a long piece of string or thread is rolled. The player throws high into the air the iron chakri (literally a roll), holding j one end of the string in bls hand, and I gives it a swing and jerk in such a ' clever manner that the chakri, on i coming down, rolls up the thread : again on itself, and is caught in the bands of the thrower. The art has ' been dexterously practiced by a class 1 of people for ages past, and some I members are so renowned that they cut a good figure at the scene. It is 1 most Interesting to watch the thrower fling the cbakri up high, catch it in his hands on return and continue sending it up again and again till the rope be­ comes as high as seventy feet above the ground. There is absolutely no spring or lev-er attachment in the chakri.

Just then Littlq Billee noticed for the first time the square boards that Santa Claus was wearing. “What are you wearing those boards for, Mr. Santa Claus?” ho asked. If the lad had looked closely enough, he would have seen a very unhappy look come into the old man’s face; but there was nothing of It In his answer. "Oh, those are my new-fangled back and chest protectors, my lad," he replied. ’’Sometimes we have bit­ ter winds blowing at Christmas, and I have to be ready for them.

They walked on now tn silence, for Little Billee was beginning to fee! al­ most too tired to talk, and Santa Claus seemed to be thinking of something else. Finally, however, the little fel­ low sjx>ke. "I guess I'd like to go home now, Mr. Santa Claus," he said. ' I'm tired, and I’m afraid my mamma will be wondering where I’ve gone to.” "That’s so, my lltle man,” said Banta Claus, stopping short in his walk up and down the block. "Your mother will be worried, for a fact; and your father, too—I know how I’d feel if my little boy got losted and hadn’t come home at dinner time. I don’t believe you know where you live* though—now, honest! Come! 'Fess up. Billee, you don't know where you live, do you?" "Why, yes, I do,” said Little Billee. "It’s in the big gray stone bouse with the iron fence In front of it, near the park.” “Oh, that’s easy enough!" laughed Santa Claus nervously. "Anybody could say he lived' in a gray stone house with a fence around it, near the park; but you don’t know what street it’s on, nor the number, either I'll bet fourteen wooden giraffes against a monkey on a stick!” "No. I don’t." said Little Billee frankly; “but I know the number of our ortymobile. It’s—'N. Y.'" "Fine!” laughed Santa Claus. Then he reflected for a moment, eyeing the child anxiously. "I don’t believe you even know your papa’* name,” he said. “Yes, I do," said Little Billee indig­ nantly. "His Dame Is Mr. Harrison, and he owns a bank.” "Splendid I Made of tin, I suppose, with a nice little hole at the top to drop pennies into?” said Santa Claus. “No, it ain’t, either!" retorted Lit­ tle Billee. "It’s made of stone, and has more than a million windows in IL I went down there with my mamma to papa's office the other day, so I guess I ought to know.” "Well, I should say so.” said Banta Claus. "Nobody better. By the way, Billee, what doe* your mamma call your, papa? ‘Billee,’ like you?" he added. "Oh, no. Indeed," returned Little Billee. "She calls him papa, except once in a while when he’s going away, and then she says, ’Good-by, Tom.’" "Fine again!" said Santa Clau*, blowing upon hl* finger*, fpr, now trat the sun had completely disap­ peared over in the west, it was get­ ting very cold. "Thoma* Harrison, banker,” he muttered to himself. "What, with the telephone book and the city directory. 1 guess we can find our way home with Little Billee." He led the tittle fellow into a pub­ lic telephone station, where he eager­ ly scanned the names in the book. At last last It was found—"Thomaa Har­ rison, seven-six-five-four Plata.’’ And then. In the seclusion of the tele­ phone booth. Santa Claus sent the gladdest of all Christmas messages over the wire to two distracted par­ ents: “I have found your boy wandering in the street He is safe, and I will bring him home right away." Fifteen minutes later, there might have been seen the strange spectacle of a footsore Santa Claus leading a sleepy little boy up Fifth avenue to a cross street, which shall be nameless. The boy vainly endeavored to pe«suade his companion to “come in and meet mamma.” "No, Billee," the old man replied sadly, “I must burry back. You see. kiddie, this I* my busy day.” But it was not to be as Santa Claus willed, for Little Billee’s papa, and his mamma, and his brothers and sla­ ters. and the butler and the house­ maids were waiting at the front door when they arrived. ' . Led by Little Billee's persistent fa­ ther, Santa Claus went Into the house. Now that the boy could see him in th© full glare of many electric lights, his furs did not seem the most gorgeous things in the world. When the flap­ ping front of his red Jacket flew open, the'child was surprised to see how ragged was the thin grrfy co it it cov­ ered; and ns for the good old saint's comfortable stomach—strange it was'not! "I—I wish you all a merry Christmas,” faltered Santa Claus; "but I really must be going, sir—" “Nonsense! r‘ cried - - -Mr. — Harrison, "Not until you have got rid of this chill, and—” “I can’t stay, sir." said Santa, Tn lose my job if I do." "Well, what If you do? Ill you a better one,” said the banker. “I can't—I can’t!" faltered the man. 1—1—I’ve gok* Little Billee of my own at home waitin' for me, sir. If I hadn’t,” he added fiercely, “do you suppose I’d be doin’ this?" He point­ ed at the painted boards, and shud­ dered. “I guess Santa Claus Is tired, papa," said Little Billee. snuggling up close­ ly to the old fellow and taking hold of his hand sympathetically. "He'* been walkin’ a lot today." "Yes, my son." said Mr. Harrison gravely. "These are very busy times for Santa Claus, and I guess that, as he still has a hard night ahead of him, James had better ring up Henry and tell him to bring the ear around right away, so that we may take him back—to his little boy. Well have to lend him a fur coat, to keep the wind off, too. for It Is a bitter nighL” “Oh.” said Little Billee. "I haven’t told you about these boards he wears. He has ’em to keep the wind off. and they're fiae. papa!” Little Billee pointed to the two sign boards which Santa Claus had leaned against tbe wall. "He says he uses ’em on cold nights.” the lad went on. "They have writing on ’em, too. Do you know "Yes,” said Mr. Harrison, glancing at the boards. "It says ‘If You Want a Good Christmas Dinner for a Quar­ ter, Go to Smithson's Cafe.’" Little Billee roared with laughter. "Papa's trying to fool me, just as you did when you pretended not to know where I lived, Santa Claus." he said, looking up Into the old fellow's face, his own countenance brimming over with mirth. "You mustn’t think be can’t read, though,” the lad added hastily. "He’s only joking.” "Oh, no. indeed, I shouldn’t have thought that," replied Santa Claus, smiling through his tears. "I’ve been joking, have I?" said Lit­ tle Billee's papa. "Weil, then, Mr. Bllliam. suppose you Inform me what it says." “ ‘Merry Christmas to Everybody.’ ” said Little Billee proudly. “I couldn’t read It myself, but he told me what it said. He has it printed there so that If he misses .saying it to anybody, they’ll know he means it just the same." “By Jove, Mr. Santa Claus,” cried Little Billee’s papa, grasping the old man warmly by the hand, “I owe you ten million apologies! I haven’t be­ lieved in you for many a long year; but now, sir, I take it all back. You do exist, and, by the great horn spoon, you are the real thing!" Little Billee had the satisfaction of acting as host to Santa Clau* at a good, .luscious dinner, which Santa Clau* must have enjoyed very much. After dinner Henry came with the au­ tomobile, and, bidding everybody good night, Banta Claus and Little Billee'* papa went out of the house together. Christmas morning^dawned, and Lit­ tle Billee awoke/ from wonderful dreams of rich gifts, and of extraordi­ nary adventures with his new-found friend, to find the reality quite as splendid as the dream things. As for Santa Claus, Little Billee has not seen him again; but down at bls father’s bank there is a new messenger, named John, who has a voice so like Santa Claus’ voice that whenever Lit­ tle Billee goes down there in the mo­ tor to ride home at night with his papa, be run* into tbe bank and has a long talk with him, just for the pleasure of pretending that It is Santa Claus he is talking to.

I HERE are some toys that can b* mad§ at home for the smaller chil­ T dren and they are among those that •re most durable and most cherished. Among them are Teddy bears, dogs, elephants, rabbits and kittens made of canton flannel or plush. Rag dolls, printed on strong muslin, c^n be bought ready to be cut out and made at home. The animals are cut by pat­ terns to be had at pattern companies and are stuffed with sawdust. Small buttons or bcade make their eyes and heavy yarns are employed In outlining the mouth or nose or other details. A small white dog shown in tbe pic­ ture illustrates how well these toys look. He Is furnished with eyes made of little black buttons and ears cut from black cloth. A ribbon carrying a tiny bell is sewed about his neck and he ie bedecked with a narrow band of red ribbon about his body, tied in a bow at the side. A clown doll is shown with the bead made of ribbed goods like a stocking top. The body is made of blue cambrio •nd the shoes of red. The tall hat is of red also, and the costume Is fin­ ished with a ruffle collar of white lace. This doll has eyes made of small black beads with eyebrow* and eyelid* de­ fined with black yarn.

The cap is topped with a tiny bell and red yellow and blue yarns represent bubton* and embroidery in hl* apparel. Among the new things brought out for this year are picture* to be made by cutting out figure* from colored tls•ue paper and pasting them on a thin paper background. The tissue is placed over an outline picture and the figure wanted drawn in outline with a pen­ cil. It is then cut out. Different ob­ jects are drawn on different colored paper, as trees on green paper, horsea on white or brown paper, and other ob­ jects on appropriate colors. After all the required figures are cut out, they . are pasted on the background. �UCH weathpr, and Christ- awhile. Maw’s got two younger’n me nuu but thinly-clad a few daysboy away.

He ran most of tbe way back to the square, and nearly knocked the cripple over In tala eagerness to tell the good news. S “Say, Pete, you're goln- to have a net? leg.” , "What?” the bewildered Pete was too intent on'selling papers to bother about new legs. "A new leg, I say. Doc Harrison, ■what I told you 'bout. Is goin' to make one fer you.” "Aw, gwan. Wot yer givin’ mo?” grunted the skeptical Pete, ignoring the enthusiasm of the head cf the house. "Come on. I'll show you." "Naw, you don't.

I reads how a doo saws off a boy's legs Just for fun." . “Aw, Pete, don't be silly. The doc won’t hurt you." "Don’t you believe It," Pete replied, and started down .the sidewalk to get away from temptation. Tom knew Pete’s stolid strength of will, and de­ cided on another tack. He felt in his pocket and found sixteen cents. Count­ ing out five pennies, he ran across the street, and soon had Dr. Harrison on the wire. "Hello, this you, doc?—Pete won’t come—Naw, he's afraid you'll* hurt him. He's read how a doc cut off a feller's leg Just fer fun.—Send up a pape? Sure, but you'll have to bide yer sign, or he won’t never come in.— All right. I’ll send him up. Please1 don't hurt him, will you, doc?—Good-j by.” Tom ran back to the corner. “Hey, Pete," he called, as soon ao ■ he was within earshot of the cripple, i “a guy Just told me to hustle a Star up to 345 West Alden avenue. Get on a Prince street car, and hurry up. Here's I a dim® fer carfare." "There ain't no profit in that," Pete grunted, “go yerself an’ save tbe I dime.” "Do as yer told. I'm boss o' this, corner," the young financier retorted, shoving Pete toward a car as fast us | the cripple could hobble. "Get off at Walnut street and walk west half a block.” he shouted as he helped Pete on the car platform. For the first time in twenty-two. years Dr. Harrison's sign was bidden ' as the cripple struggled up the steps and rang tbe bell. "Here's yer pape." he said in a mat­ ter-of-fact tone, holding out the first edition, when the maid opened the. door. "Paper?" asked the girl, pretending ignorance. “Step in a moment and I'll see if it belongs here.” Pete stepped inside and took off his cap. The girl disappeared, but return­ ed presently, and pointed to an open do.»r down thp hall Pete hobbled in j "Ye—es," Pct® whispered, too scared to realize whether he was say­ ing “yea" or “no.” "Now, Pete, take a good look at me,” the doctor continued as he arose from bls chair and stood in the- mid­ dle of the room for the cripple’s in­ spection. "I’m not really such an aw-ful man, am I, Pete?” "N—n—o—o,” Pete answered, more because the surgeon's tone needed a negative reply than because he knew* what he was saying. "Pete, I like little boys," the doctor went on, ignoring the lad's terrified expression. “And I kind of think some of them like me. Do you think you could?" • "Ma—a—aybe," the youngster was doing his best to be brave. t The doctor glanced at the open ’door and nodded to tbe maid. "Tom McGuire Is out at the door and wants to see you," she said. “Send him In." the surgeon an­ swered heartily. "Well, I never. Hel­ lo, ’Tom!" “Hello, doc! Done anything to Pete's leg?” “Why, no, we haven't mentioned legs. Have we, Pete?" "Not yet,” said Pete, with a feeling that something was still to come. “Say, doc. look at It now, will you?" Tom exclaimed energetically and be­ gan to take off his brother's shoe. “Hold on a minute. Tom; this isn’t the place to examine legs, and besides,' I never make an examination without the owner's consent." “Tell the doc you want to have yer leg looked at," Tom commanded In a tone that bore authority. Before Pete could answer, the doc­ tor had interposed a good natured ob­ jection. "You keep out of this, Tom. This Is Pete's leg. and he shall have the whole say about what is done to that leg." This announcement was a revelation to Pete, who had had visions of being bound and gagged w hile the doctor at­ tacked hia leg with a common hand­ saw. “Is that straight?” he asked, look­ ing up dubiously into the surgeon's face. "Absolutely!" the doctor exclaimed. "I won't touch a finger to that leg till you give me your consent." “There, Pete. « hat'd I tell you.” Tom broke in. but the doctor frowned at' him to keep quiet. The eyes of both Tom and the surgeon were now on Pete. "What’ll ,lt cost?" The cripple seemed about to yield but wanted one more obstacle cleared away.

"Sit down a minute," came a pleas­ ant voice from somewhere, and Pete crawled up into one of the large chairs. The next tew minutes were about the busiest the cripple bad ever known. Pictures, statuary, books, fur­ niture—never in his short life had be seen such an array. How could he possibly remember all to tell Tom? Before the survey -was half finished however, a tall man with a kindly face stood before him and held out his hand for the paper. Pete handed him the Star and arose to go. “Hold on a minute, how muqb do 1 owe you?" "Two cents." “Two cents?” the doctor shouted, so loud that Pete feared he had over­ charged him. "Didn't you pay carfare to get here?" "Yes, Tom paid that” Pete smiled wltti relief. “Tom? Who's Tom?” "He's me big brudder.” This time the smile bespoke pride and thank­ fulness. "Likely s®rt of chap?" “Yes. sir; Tom’s all right” The smile was wider than ever. "Do you know who I am?” the doc­ tor asked In his kindliest tone, plac­ ing his hand on the boy’s shoulder. "No" "I am Dr. Harrison." The smile dis­ appeared and the boy began to trem­ ble at mention of the awful nama "Possibly vou have beard of meF’ • Tom at that moment would have re paid any sacrifice—yes, even the whois of the corner paper privilege. Pete’s' eyes glistened with teardrops as he turned to the doctor. "Go ahead, doc. Do anything you want, only don't hurt me too much. Say, ain't Tom all rightF’ "You bet he is," the doctor replied, and motioned the cripple to the Inner office. • •••••• Tom was busy as he could be on Christmas eve and it was well after midnight when he crawled Into his lit­ tle bed, tired and lonely, for Pete bad gone to the hospital three days be­ fore. He knew away down deep In his heart that It would do no good to hang up his stocking, but hope dies hard in the young and the stocking was 1 pinned to the side of the«chair. The sun had shone for an hour or more when Tom awoke and realized that It was Christmas day. He hardly dared to glance at the stocking but summoned up courage and looked at the chair where it hung. The stock­ ing was empty. Tom reached over and felt it to make sure and then crawled back under the bedclothes. For the first time in his life the rough­ ness of the world bad overcome him and, in spite of all the strength he could mustqr, the great, hot tears crowded Into his eyes and flowed down his cheeks. He burled his face In the pillow and cried a great big soulful "Tom! Tom!" It was his mother his bare toe that it almost made him howl. A llttl® thing like that was not allowed to break up tbe celebration so be grasped bls mother's hands and swung her around and around ln a "ring around a rosy" until the poor woman hardly knew whether it wag Christmas or Fourth of July. “Ain’t this a grand Christmashe shouted. "Ain't the doc bully? Ain’t Peter the luckiest feller in the'whoto world?” , • .'.KjJt "Yes, yes, yes." groaned Mrs. MeOutre, trying her best to regain her breath and balance. "O, it’s—too— good—-to be true!" "Great Jewhllikens," Tom shouted, and his mother, too, made some sort of an exclamation that was drowned in tbe racket of the two smaller Mc­ Guires, who felt called upon to add to the general din. "Me and the doc's goln' to have a real news stand right where I wanted IL Don't I wish Pete was home to hear the good news! What do you think o’ that maw? A great big news stand right at the fountain where we can sell ten times more papes! Ain't that a bully Christmas present? Say, maw, the doc's a brick and don't you forget It" "Well, hurry up and get dressed or you won't have much Christmas Day left" Tom vaulted chair and cradle on his way back to the bedroom and slammed his tear soaked pillow into a corner of the room as an expression of his feelings toward tears. “A real news stand. A great big stand all to ourselves. I can see Just bow it's goin’ to look. Gee! ain’t that grandI” But greater news was on the way and before be had pulled on tbe empty stocking he heard a noise In the other room and peeped out. There was a big man in a fur overcoat at the door with another letter and he was not the postman either. "Tom, here’s another one for you." The summons was needless for Tom was already at his mother's side and had seized the white envelope. "James B. Harrison, M. D.»” he read. "That’s about Pete. Jimminy Christ­ mas! Say, maw, you open IL My hands is all shaky." Mrs. McGuire could not make much better headway opening the envelope than Tom, but she managed to pull out th.e letter and Tom began to read laboriously. WORLD'S MOST SACRED SPOT Manger In Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem Where Christ Is Said to Have Been Born, What may perhaps be described as the most sacred spot on earth Is the grotto or manger in the Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem. This small underground chamber, reached from the church above by a flight of steps, is said to be the site of lb® actual manger Uhere Christ was born, and a silver star. let into the floor underneath the altar, is alleged to be the exact spot of the Nativity. Above tha star bang fifteen lamps, which have continually Illuminated the lit­ tle chapel for several hundred years. The altar Is adorned with most elaborate embroideries, the work of royal princesses, while from the cell­ ing hang a number of brass lamps and a few paintings. There has. of course, been no little controversy as to whether this is the actual site of the original manger. To begin with. It Is underground, end many people wonder how it could have been used by cattle and horses. Here, however, we have to remember that In the East donkeys and mules often dwell in underground stables, and the stall* case would present no difficulty to the agile native cattle of Palestine.

But some knowl­ edge of the helpful friend’s existence form ot a pretty Christmas card with «n appropriate greeting; or a knot of With a note expressing warm Christ- By GEORGE ADE SIDNEY PAYSON was full of the bitterness of Christmas-tide. Mr. Pay­ son was the kind of man who loved to teU invalids that they were not look­ ing aa well as usual, and who frightened young hus­ bands by predicting that they would regret having married. He seldom put the seal of approval on any human undertaking. It was a matter of pride with him that he never failed to find the sinister motive for the act which other people applauded. Some of his pious friends used to say that Satan bad got the upper hand with him, but there were others who Indi­ cated that it might be bile. Think of the seething wrath and the sense of humllation with which Mr. Sidney Payson set about his Christ­ mas shopping! In the first place, to go ehopping for Christmas presents was the most conventional thing that anyone could do, and Mr. Payson hated conventionalities. For another thing, the giving of Christmas pres­ ents carried with it some testimony of affection, and Mr. Payson regarded any display of affection as one of the crude symptoms of barbarous taste. If he oould have assembled hie rela­ tives at a Christmas gathering and opened a few old family wounds, re­ minding his brother and his two sis­ ters of some of their youthful follies, thus shaming them before the chil­ dren, Mr. Sidney Payson might have managed to make out a rather merry Christmas. Instead of that, he was condemned to go out and purchase gifts and be as cheaply Idotic as the other wretched mortals with whom he was being carried along. No wonder that he chafed and rebelled and vainly die wished that he could han^ crepe on every Christmas tree in the universe. Mr. Sidney Payson hated bls task and he was puzzled by IL After wan­ dering through two stores and looking In at 20 window* he had been unable to make one selection. It seemed to him that all the articles offered for sale were singularly and uniformly In­ appropriate. The custom of giving was a farce in itself, and tho storekeep­ ers had done what they could to make It a sickening travesty. . "IU go ahead and buy a lot of things at haphazard,” he said to himself. "I don't care a hang whether they are ap­ propriate or not" At that moment be had an inspira­ tion. It was an Inspiration which couldhave come to no one except Mr. Sidney Payson.

The gift that goes to friend or relative is above all one for lore, and it is undoubtedly better taste for tbe recipient of the simpler gift to the exchange to appear as pleased as If she bad received some­ thing ten times its value. BuL then, what matters the nature of the gift after all? The spirit Is tbe thing—and does not this silly pic­ ture or cushion, so unbecoming to the parlor, mean that the friend or sister has thought of us?

Mr. Payson's sister’s husband is the president of a church temperance so­ ciety. so Mr. Payson bought him a buckhorn corkscrew. There was one more present to buy. “Let me see,” said Mr. Payson. "What is there that could be of no earthly use to a girl of*slx years old?" Even as he spoke his eye fell on a sign: “Bargain sale of neckwear." "I don’t believe she.would care for cravats," he Said. "I guess I’ll 'buy some for her.” He saw a box of cravats marked "25 cents each.” "Why are those so cheapT” he asked. "Well, to tell tbe truth, they’re out of-style.” • "That's good. I want eight of them —oh, any eight will do. I want them for a small niece of mine—a little girl about six years old.” Without indicating the least sur­ prise, the salesman wrapped up tbe cravats. Letters received by Mr. Sidney Pay­ son In acknowledgment of bls Christ­ mas presents: "Dear Brother: Pardon me for not having acknowledged the receipt of your Christmas present. The fact Is that since the skates came I have been devoting so much of my time to the re-acquiring of one of my early accom­ plishments that I have not had much time for writing.

Good night" And while the member of congresb ran bls car back to bis home with n satisfied smile on bls face a young man sat alone in a room in the bouse of his father’s friend and buried his face la his hands. He was an unhappy young man, for a castle built of air, through years of patient toiling, bad tumbled rudely about his ears. His first contact with the world be did not know had bruised a proud and sensitive spirit which had as yet failed to react from th»buffeting It had received. And. like tbe native creatures of the wilds, hurt, wounded, he longed for bls well known solitude* in which to nurse his hurt. . By a sort of mental reflex his thoughts ran to the hut In tbe moun­ tains and to bis father, the one com­ panion be bad known well since be was a child. He reviewed all their life and .plan­ ning for tbe last few years since they had worked on the airship plans; re­ called all their dreams of perfecting it and taking it to their country to add to her prestige and strength, working gradually up to that day when success was finally theirs, and that which bad been in th; future became the fact of tbe present, and the hermit of twenty years had turned to him and said: “Son, you shall take tbe trip now. at last, and take the airship with you. I will write to my old friend Getbelds. and he will smooth the way for you. Fred and I were chums in college, and I know he'll help you in this. It seems as though fate must have put him ai the head of the nation's board at this time so as to make things easy for us." He recalled tbe trip be bad made, the ride over the thirty miles of trail, tbe journey by motor and rail, each step of it a revelation to his unsopliistl cateu mind, in which he had seen for tbe first time in life tbe things which heretofore had been only names to him.. And be smiled. So perfect bad been bls instruction that be had known each thing as he saw it and accepted it without undue surprise. Only at the end of tbe Jour ney bad anything occurred to disturb him. and that was the utter discom fltore of all bls plans—tbe discovery that, even in tbe nation's seat of pow­ er, the old story of twenty years ag<still lived to bar one of bis name from acceptance. He clinched his bands. Had there Deen justice in It, it would have been less bard to understand. But Its in justice rankled like a poisoned barb. He rose, drew paper from one of bis cases, and a pen from bls pocket Then seating himself at a table, equipped with a miniature bedside electrolier, be began to write: Dear Mlsa Getheld»-I am golnx back t-> the hills and seek to gain some of theit strength in my soul.

That he was no stranger was shown by the nxKumnce of the course he took and the nods or hand waves of tbe men be luuwed. Without pause or checking be rode straight to tin* corrabof Nephi Larsen. Larsen sat in the doorway of bis bouse, smoking a Pipe. “Hello, Ma later Stillman!" be greetMeade swung himself from the sad­ dle of the horse he was riding*. slipped its bridle over his arm and led it and the pack animal loaded with his eases and camping outfit toward the corral at the back of the bouse. “I'll be si>ending the night with you. ptraen,” be informed the man in the doorway. Larsen nodded, and gestured with his pipe to tbe animals Stillman led. "Ay vlll tell mine rife. Ven you baf put de horses by de corral you will baf sooper." Night came down. Meade left the bouse of Lumen and walked out to­ ward the edge of tbe river. He clinched his bauds with an instinctive motion, then dropped them at his sides and looked off across tbe stream to the east Over there was a hut in the mountains, where his father waited. Over there, away, and away beyond was a woman with hair like burnished copper, whose image dwelt in his heart The pink of morning saw him feady to start His mount was a wiry In dian pony, spotted in brown and cream irregularly. Bebiud it he led a second dun colored specimen, burdened with his pack. He crossed the river in a flat bottomed boat, swung from a hempen cable, and took up the lonely trail. y Tbe sunset of the second day was growing red when be came to the lip of the valley. The sun god was shoot ing his arrows far across it in flaring ribbons of color. He smiled to him self through tbe grime of bls Journey which powdered bls face and hair. Off beyond was a dark wall of or­ chard aud shade trees, things of bis father’s planting. Among them squat ted the bouse of red stone which that same father had builded—his own home for twenty years—the only set­ ting of lif^he bad known as be grew to manhood. Farther beyond it all a long, low structure met bls eyes—the laboratory building. Little creatures which he knew to be eattie and boraes moved slowly across the green eximnse as he gazed. The cool of tbe picture struck up to his eye and beckoned him to it from the beat through which be bad ridden. He clucked to his horses and urged them down the trail from tbe Up of the plateau. And so Meade Stillman came home. The purple of evening was creeping into the valley as he rode up to tbe house of red sandstone and sllpi»ed from the saddle. A figure appeared In the doorway, gazed In surprised recog sltiou at the unexpected arrival, utter­ ed a cry and approached. "Meade, my son! Baek bo soon?” cried Stillman and seized tbe bund of (he one who had returned. .Meade nodded. “Buck again, dad. and glad to get here." li» said quickly. “You're well?” “Ob, yea," replied his father, putting aside the question. "But you? Wbat brings you back?" "I.was through with my mission.” raid Meade. His father lifted his eyes and gazed full into those of his son. "They nc THE RURA CHURCH THE FARMERS THE CU9TOO(AN8 OF THE NATION'S MORALITY Co-operation of Church, Schoo, and Press Essential to Community Building. By Peter Radford Lecture: National Funuera* Union. The church the press and the school form a triple alliance ol progress that guides tbe destiny ot every commun­ ity, state and nation. Without them civllizatic i would wither and die and through them life may attain its great­ est blessing, power and knowledge. The farmers ot this nation are greatly indebted to this social triumvirate for their uplifting influence, and on behalf ot the American ’plowmen I want to thank those engaged in these high callings for their able and efficient service, and I shall offer to the press a series of articles on co-operation between these important influences and tbe farmers in tne hope of in­ creasing the efficiency of all by mu­ tual understanding and organized ef­ fort. We will tak< up, first, the rural church. The Farmers Are Great Church Build­ The American farmer is the greatest church builder the world has ever known He is the custodian of the nation's morality; upon his shoulders rests the “ark ot the covenant” and be is more responsive to religious in­ fluences than any other class of citr izenshlp The farmers of this nation have built 120,churches at a cost ot 8750,000.000 trad the annual contribu­ tion of tiie nation toward all church institutions approximates 1200,000,000 per annum The farmers of the Uni­ ted States build 22 churches per day. There are 20,000.000 rural church com­ municants on the farm, and 54 per cent of the total membership ot all churches reside in the country. The farm is the power-house of all progress and the birthplace of all that Is noble. The Garden of Eden was in the country and the man who would get close to God must first get close to nature. The Functions of a Rural Church. If the rural churches today are go­ ing to render a service which this ago demands, there must be co-operation between the religious, social and eco­ nomic life of the community. The church to attain its fullest meas­ ure of success must enrich the lives of the people in the community it serves; it must build character; devel­ op thought and increase the efficiency of human life. It must serve the so­ cial, business and Intellectual, as well as the spiritual and moral side of life. If religion does not make a man more capable, more useful and more just, what good is it? We want a practical religion, one we can live by and farm by. as well as die by. Fewer ana Better Churches. Blessed is that rural community which has but one place of worship. While competition is the life of trade, it is death to tbe rural church and moral starvation to the community. Petty sectarianism is a scourge that blights the life, ana the church preju­ dice saps the vitality, of many com­ munities. An overchurched commun­ ity is a crime against religion, a seri­ ous handicap to society and a useless tax upon agriculture While denominations are essential and church pride commendable, tho high teaching of universal Christianity’ must prevail if the rural church is to fulfill its mission to agriculture. We frequently have three or four churches in a community which is not able to adequately support one Small congregations attend services once a month and all fall to perform the re­ ligious functions of tbe community. Tbe division of religious forces and the breaking into fragments of moral efforts is ofttlmes little less than a calamity and defeats the very purpose they seek to promote. The evils ot too many churches can be minimized by cooperation. The social and economic life of a rural community are respective units and cannot be successfully divided by de­ nominational lines, and the churches can only occupy this Important field by co-operation and co-ordination. The efficient country church will definitely .serve its community by lead­ ing in all worthy efforts at community building, in uniting the people in all co-operative endeavors for the- gen­ eral welfare of the community and in arousing a real love for country life and loyalty to the country home and these results can only be successfully cried Stillman. accomplished by the united effort of cepted it ao soon?" he faltered.

She thought, no doubt, that with so many beautiful things on every aide to delight his eye and hold his attention, strict obedience to her commands would not be hard. But, alas, the good lady reckoned not upon the magnetic power of attraction of all those lovely objects In detail. When a phonograph at the other end of the shop began to rattle off melodious tunes and funny jokes, tn spite of the Instruction Little Billee had received, off he pattered as fast as his little legs would carry him to investigate. After thaL forgetful of everything else, finding himself caught in the constantly moving stream of Christmas shoppers, he was borne along in tbe resistless current until he found himself at last out up­ on the street—alone, free, and Inde­ pendent It was great fun, at first By and by, however, the afternoon waned, and little Billee began to grow tired. He thought of his mamma, and tried to find tbe shop where he had promised to remain quiet until her return. Up and down the street be wandered until his little legs grew weary; but there was no sign of the shop, nor of tbe beloved face he was seeking. Once again, and yet once again after that, did the little fellow tra­ verse that crowded highway, his tears getting harder and harder to keep back, and then—joy ot Joys— whom should he see walking slowly along the sidewalk but Santa Claus himself! The Skint was strangely decorated with two queer-looking boards, with big red letters on them, hung over his back and chest With a glad cry of happiness. Little Billie ran to meet tbe old fellow, and put bls hand gently into that of the saint. He thought It very strange that Santa Claus's band should be so red and cold and rough, and so chapped; but he was not in any mood to be critical. Santa Claus, of course, would rec­ ognize him at once, and would know just how to take him back to his 907323417778 His Mother Had Left Him There In the Toy-Shop. mamma at home—wherever that might be.

Now that the boy could see him in the full glare of njany electric lights, his furs did not seem the most gorgeous things in the world. When the flap­ ping front of his red jacket flew open, the'child was surprised to see how ragged was the thin grrfy coat it cov­ ered; and as for the good oil saint's comfortable stomach—strange to say, "I—I wish you all a merry Christmas,” faltered Santa Claus; "but I really must be going, sir—” "Nonsense!” cried Mr. Harrison. "Not until you have got rid of this “What Are You Wearing Those Boards for, Mr. Santa Claus?” the one behind keeps me from get­ ting rheumatism in my back.

"I have tbe words printed there so that everybody can see them; and if I miss wishing any­ body a me-jry Christmas, he’ll know I meant it just the same." They walked on now in silence, for Little Billee was beginning to feel al­ most too tired to talk, and Santa Claus seemed to be thinking of something else. Finally, however, the little fel­ low spoke. “I guess I’d like to go home now, Mr. Santa Claus," be said. “I'm tired, and I'm afraid my mamma will be wondering where I’ve gone to." "That's so, my lltle man," said Santa Claus, stopping short in his walk up and down the block. “Your mother will be worried, for a fact; and your father, too—I know how Td feel if my little boy got losted and hadn’t come home at dinner time. 1 don’t believe you know where you Hye, though—now, honest! Come! ’Fess up, Billee, you don’t know where you live, do you?” “Why, yes. I do,” said Little Billee.

"No, I don'L" e*ld Little Billee frankly; "but I know the number of our ortymoblle. It's—’N. Y.’" “Fine!" laughed Santa Claus. Then he reflected for a moment, eyeing the child anxiously. "I don’t believe you even know your papa's name," he said. "Yes, I do," said Little BUlee indig­ nantly. “His name is Mr. Harrison, and he owns a bank." "SplendidI Made of tin, I suppose, with a nice little hole at the top to drop pennies into?" said Santa Claus. “No, it ain't either!- retorted Lit­ tle BUlee. "It’s made of stone, and has more than a million windows in it I went down there with my mamma to papa’s office the other day, so I guess I ought to know." “Well, I should say so," said Santa Claus. "Nobody better. By the way, Billee, what does your mamma call your, papa? ‘Billee,’ Uke you?" he added. “Oh, no. indeed,” returned Little BUlee. “She calls him papa, except once in a while when he’s going away, and then she says, ‘Good-by, Tom.*" "Fine again!" said Santa Claus, blowing upon bls fingers, fpr, now "I can’t stay, sir,” said Santa, "I'll lose my job if I do.” "Well, what if you do?

If I hadn’L” he added fiercely, "do you suppose I'd be doin' this?" He point­ ed at the painted boards, and shud­ dered. "I guess Santa Claus is tired, papa," said Little Billee, snuggling up close­ ly to the old fellow and taking hold of his hand sympathetically. "He’s been walkin' a lot today." ' "Yes, my son," said Mr. Harrison gravely. "These are very busy times for Santa Claus, and I guess thaL as he still has a hard night ahead of him, James bad better ring up Henry and tell him to bring the car around right away, so that we may take him back—to his little boy. Well have to lend him a fur coat, to keep the wind off, too, for it is a bitter night" "Oh," said Little Billee. "I haven't told you about these boards he wears. He has 'em to keep the wind off. and they're fine, papa!" Little Billee pointed to the two sign-boards which Santa Claus had leaned against the wall. “He says he uses 'em on cold nights," the lad went on. "They have writing on ’em. too. Do you know what it says?” “Yes,” said Mr. Harrison, glancing at the boards. "It says 'If You Want a Good Christmas Dinner for a Quar­ ter, Go to Smithson's Cafe.”’ Little Billee roared with laughter. “Papa's trying to fool me, just as you did when you pretended not to know where I lived, Santa Claus," he said, looking up Into the bld fellow's face, his own countenance brimming over with mirth. “You mustn't think he can’t read, though," the lad added hastily. “He’s only joking.” "Oh, no. indeed, I shouldn't have thought that,” replied Santa Claus, smiling through his tears. “I’ve been Joking, have I?" said Lit­ tle Billee’s papa. "Well, then, Mr. Bllliam. suppose you Inform me what " 'Merry Christmas to Everybody,’ * said Little Billee proudly. “I couldn’t read it myself, but he told me what it said. He has It printed there so that If he misses .saying it to anybody, they’ll know be means It just the "By Jove, Mr. Santa Claus," (fried Little Billee's papa, grasping the old man warmly by the hand. "I owe you ten million apologies! I haven't be­ lieved in you for many a long year; but now, sir, I take It all back. You do exisL and, by the great horn spoon, you are the real thing!" Little Billee had the satisfaction of acting as host to Santa Claus at a good, .luscious dinner, which Santa Claus must have enjoyed very much. After dinner Henry came with the au­ tomobile, and, bidding everybody good night, Santa Claus and Little Billee's papa went out of the house together. Christmas moi-njufdawned, and Lit­ tle Billee awoke from wonderful dreams of rich gifts, and of extraordi­ nary adventures with his new-found friend, to find the reality quite as splendid as the dream things. As for Santa Claus, Little Billee has not seen him again; but down at his father's bank there is a new messenger, named John, who has a voice so like Santa Claus' voice that whenever Lit­ tle Billee goes down there in the mo­ tor to ride home at night with his papa, he runs into the bank and has a long talk with him, just for the pleasure of pretending that it is Santa Glaus he is talking to.

He is furnished with eyes made of little black buttons and cars cut from black cloth. A ribbon carrying a tiny bell is sewed about his neck and he ie bedecked with a narrow band of red ribbon about his body, tied in a bow ad the aide. A clown doll is shown with the bead made of ribbed goods like a stocking top. The body is made of blue cambrio and the shoes of red. The tall hat is of red also, and the costume is fin­ ished with a ruffle colter of white lace. This doll has eyes made of small black beads with eyebrows and eyelids de­ fined with black yarn. His nose is formed by making a short ridge in the face drawn together by a few stitches. A etltch, In red yarn, forms his mouth and a mustache and whiskers are made of black yarn. By separating the yarn Into strands, and sewing It about the head below the cap, an abundance of curly, black hair is simulated.

Two small, pale faces peered at him from the kitchen door, and Goodwin smiled at them. “Do I look like Banta Claus?” he asked them by way of breaking the "No. you don’t;” returned the boy, bluntly. "Besides, Linda says it may be too cold for Santa Claus to come out this year.” There was a wail from the little sister, and the boy strove vainly to conceal his disappointment at this announcement Linda gave them each a hug and told them to run along. When they bad gone she turned to Goodwin with inquiry in her eyes. "My errand is a pleasant one," he said quickly, for his own voice was none too controlled. "It will add to your happiness, I know.’* He drew a memorandum from his pocket, and after consulting it. asked; ’Your fa­ ther. Linden luine? Did he live in Stillwater, Minn., 22 years ago?" "Yes." replied Linda, with a flush of excitement • lending roses to her cheeks. "I was born there." “Then, to come directly to the point,” Goodwin told her. ”we find two depos- its of 125 each in two of our banks there. One Linden J. Lane opened the account 22-years ago." Linda laughed softly. “My father used always to fear bank failures,, and put small amounts in many banks.” She turned sparkling eyes upon Goodwin. "We thought we had collected all bis savings," she said. "These two nests were undiscov­ ered,” the man laughed, "and the hens have been laying golden eggs. You have, at this very minute 1300—" "Three hundred dollars! Oh!” she impulsively held out her two toilworn little hands, “it is a fortune! The children! They can have their Banta Claus!” Goodwin found himself feeling hap­ pier than be remembered having felt before. Was it the knowledge that he had been the Good Fairy in this email family, or Was it something more sub­ tle, more wonderful that had crept into bls mind? He langhed a trifle nervously. "I am going to ask for immediate payment for the joy I have found for you.” he eald and when Linda's ques­ tioning eyes met his he said impetu­ ously: “Let me come tomorrow—and help make Christmas glad for the children. May I come?” Linda glanced at him with a new shyness. "Yes,” she said, simply. "If you like I will go with you to help get that Christmas tree.” Next morning Linda and the chil­ dren were up early. The crackling of the .fire as it roared up the stovepipe created a spirit ot cheerfulness that greeted Marvin Goodwin when he presented himself at an early hour. “Oh!” shouted Bobby, "here’s our own Santa Claus!" His eyes were glued to the armful of packages Good­ win deposited on the table. "Bobby!” cried Linda. "Haven't you ever been Santa Claus before?” queried Peggy. “Never! This is my very first ex­ perience. I hope I will acquit myself with proper dignity.” And Linda's eyes, over the heads of the children, looked down deep into Goodwin's big soul, *nd unconsciously she let the man read what her heart was saying. "Next Christmas," he was saying in his mind, "Linda will have permanent roses tn her cheeks, and her eyes will be mine, and that will be all the hap­ piness one Santa Claus could have," ; O5DOR\ N Christmas eve. Ted Bev­ erly received this letter f from Amy Saunders—the one girl in tbe world, as far us Ted was concerned: "Dear Ted: If you can manage to come on to New York for Christmas and have tbe courage to break the news to brother Bob, all right I haven’t even been able to explain that we are engaged, much less that we were about to be married, but as long as Meg and Bob really like you they can’t object. Come in the morning if you can manage, and stop on your way from the station and ask old Doctor Good to drop In for the great event in the afternoon—that will be better than going to his house. I tried to explain to Meg, hut you know how excitable she is, and with Christmas coming, and the children’s presents, and getting a fake Santa Claus for them, she just hasn't time to' listen, and brother Bob is such a tease I haven’t the nerve to tell him.” “Great hat!” gasped Ted, jumping up from the dining table, where he had been reading his last letter from Amy over his solitary meal. Hastily paying the waiter, he darted with all speed through the hotel- corridor, up to his room. He had written to Amy asking . If she couldn't manage to be married during the holidays, but he hadn't supposed she would consent. Now there was no time to be lost, for New York was fourteen hours away. Ted rang for a messenger boy, tele­ phoned to the office, and when the messenger boy arrived was throwing his necessary belongings into a suit"Say, boy," he said to the liveried messenger, “1 want you to go out and buy a—a wedding ring. Tomorrow being Christmas the stores will be closed and 1 can't get It then. All the stores are open tonight. And bring it to the W. & P. railroad sta­ tion on tho eastbound platform. Here’s a dollar for you if you get it there by the eight-three—and br sure and buy the best one the jeweler has.” "What site, sir?” asked tbe boy, grinning. "That’s so—they come in different Bizes," responded Ted, excitedly wad­ ding a handful of cravats Into bis lultcase. “Oh, medium size, any size, only hurry. And if you have time, get some Jumping monkeys, and toy balloons, and tin kitchens and things —anything kids will like," he said, handing the boy two ten-dollar bills. The next morning, after a night In a sleeping car. Tet* Beverly was still breathless as he Lurried—laden with half-wrapped tin kitchens and various other toys and a suit case—from his taxi up the unpretentious brownstone front of the home of his friend Bob Saunders. Bob was Amy’s brother and Amy lived with him and Bob’s wife, Meg, and little Bobble and Peggy• Mrs. Saunders—Meg—met him at the door. "How do you do?” she said in the most matter-of-fact tone, just as if she had seen him tbe day before. “Do come in out of the cold. Bob will be so glad you’ve come. If those per­ fectly lovely things are for my chil­ dren do let me hide them behind the piano. Oh. by. the way,” she added whispering, "you have just come in time. 1 'was almost distracted. You always were so obliging. Bob often says that there wasn't a man in col­ lege who would help' a friend out of a tight place the way you would. 1 expected the butcher-boy would do it, but he’s gone to one of those awful barbecues—whatever that Is—and I had offered him 12 to do it Now listen—Obj here comes Amy and the children, and I told her to be sure to keep fhem out for two hours. I wonder why she came back so soon. Come, burry upstairs before they see you, and bring your suitcase, please." Ted. although he didn't know whether be was intended to get the butcher boy away from a barbecue or simply to conceal his presence from tbe chil­ dren, followed his hostess up to a third story guest room. "Now, I will tell you,” said Meg, closing the door and locking It be­ hind her. "See. I brought your hat and gloves because I knew the chil­ dren would suspect something if they saw them. I was expecting the butch­ er’s boy—he’s Just about your build— to play Santa for th* children. What you have to do Is to dress up tn these things—this red suit It’s very thin. I made it myself out of red cotton flannel so I think you can slip it on right over your eoat, don’t you? And this false face and this nice white beard and these galoshes. They may be bard to walk In. but they look more like Santa than regu­ lar shoes. Anyhow, I think they are just nice for Santa Claus.” "Is Amy well?” asked Ted rather pointlessly. Meg simply nodded her head in the affirmative. She was still thinking about tbe galoshes. "It's funny how _ away this afterto pack so she won't be able to help me at all. There are some books if you waqt to read. Bob won't be-back Uli twelve. 1 told him he would be much more help It he wasn’t In the way so he has gone off to the club to smoke.

Then take off your disguise and go out the front door and ring tbe bell. The children will think you _have just come, 'i’ou were awfully good to offer to do this for me." Meg was unlock­ ing the door and leaving. "You may as well smoke if you want to," she said. "I am going to have those cur­ tains cleaned next week anyway so It doesn’t matter if they do smell smoky—” "You might tell Amy that I am here,” said Ted. “Oh, she doesn’t mind the smoke.” replied Meg. ’’Besides, she almost never comes into this room.” Ted felt himself defeated. For an hour and a half he remained in his solitary confinement and then Meg came again to see that he wgs properly dressed and to give him the cue for bls descent "Walt till I get all, the way down and then start,” she told him. "Does Amy know I am here?” Ted asked with unconcealed concern. "Hasn’t the remotest suspicion of it,” answered Meg. "I think she must be expecting someone for ' she has telephoned twice to the station to know whether the trains from the West were late. Yours wasn’t late, was it* But I haven’t said anything about your being here.” “It’s hard to navigate in these old boats,” said Tom ‘from under his beard. Peg was hanging a hugh potato bag full of toys on Ted’s back. "I put the presents you brought' to Bobby and Peggy in with the rest," she said. "They are really lovely. Now remember yob follow as soon as I get down stairs. We will all be in the drawing room." Ted got safely down the first flight of stairs with his heavy pack thump­ ing on the stairs as he came. He was hallway down the last flight when he caught a glimpse of Amy’s pretty forehead and golden hair. He ECKWEAR and muff sets were never more fashionable than they N are just now, and they are among thd easiest to make of home-made gifts. They confer both style and comfort upon their wearers to the Joy of those who receive them. Neckpieces are simply straight lengths of velvet, plush tor fur cloth* cut a quarter of a yard wide and a yard or more in length. They are lined with satin and gathered In at the pnds, where a tasseled ornament makes tbe finish. They fasten about the neck with a hoek and eye or slide. Crocheted, passankt^erie or bead buckles and ornaments are used on them. Muffs are barrel-shaped and made over beds of down or wool batting. These beds are bought ready made and are very cheap. Velvet coverings are usually gathered over them with ruffles at each end as shown tn the picture. The muff and ruffles are lined with satin. Silk cords or strands of large black beads are fashionable this season for decorating these eets. Inexpensive Gifts in Collars and Vestees COLLAR and vestee in sheer or- to wear with tailored suits Awillgandle, be welcomed by every woman and “I Put the Presents You Brought In With the Rest.” craned his head, eager to see more, the pack caught for a second against the banisters, be missed his footing in the awkward galoshes, and with a desperate effort to regain his bal­ ance he grasped frantically at the wallpaper. The next thing he knew he was sprawling In. a confused jumble of toys and red cotton flannel and white hair and sacking at foot of the stairs. "Blame those galoshes!” was first unceremonious remark as pulled himself out of the confusion. And there stood Amy, Bob and Mrs. Meg and Bobby and Peggy—all more or less wide-eyed and incredulous. “Santa fell downstairs; that’s alt He isn’t used to stairs, you know,” said Meg with rare presence of mind anxious only to preserve her chil­ dren’s faith In the myth of Santa Claus. She hurriedly adjusted the false face that had flopped up In the fall. “Poor old Santa," said little Peggy, softly patting his arm. and Bobby was eagerly examining the toys that * ' spilled from tbe pack. “Great guns. It’s Ted!" began Bob In an aside, but Meg clapped her hand over his mouth. Meantime Amy was ho] pered conversation with 'l Santa. "Why, these are papa's galoshes," said Bobby. “That’s not Santa, at all, anyway," said little Peggy. "It’s Mr. Ted Bev­ erly what’s going to be our uncle. He’s come to marry out Aunt Amy, so there, and he's just dressed up like Banta so's to fool mamma and papa. Aunt Amy told us this morn­ ing he was a-going to marry her this afternoon.

He clinched bls hands with au instinctive motion, then dropped them at bls aides and looked off across the stream to the east. Over there was a but iu the mountains, where his father waited. Over there, away, and away beyond was a woman with hair like burnished copper, whose Image dwelt in his heart The pink of morning saw him feady to start His mount was a wiry in dlan pony, spotted In brown and cream Irregularly. Behind it be led a second dun colored specimen, burdened with his pack. He crossed the river in a flat bottomed boaL swung from a hempen cable, and took up the lonely trail. Tbe sunset of the second day was growing red when be came to the Up of the valley. The sun god was shoot Ing his arrows far across It In flaring ribbons of color. He smiled to him self through the grime of bls journey which powdered bls face and hair. Off beyond was a dark wall of or­ chard and shade trees, things of his father’s planting. Among them squat ted the house of red stone which that same father had bullded—bls own home for twenty yeara—the only set ting of life he had knoyn as be grew to manhood. Farther beyond it all a long, low structure met bls- eyes—tbe laboratory building. Little creatures which he knew to be eattle and horses moved slowly across the green expanse as he gazed. The coo! of the picture struck up to his eye and beckoned him to It from tbe beat through which he had ridden. He clucked to his horses and urged them down the trail from the lip of the plateau. And so Meade Stillman came home. Tbe purple of evening was creeping into the valley as he rode up to the bouse of red sandstone and slipped from tbe saddle. A figure appeared In the doorway, gazed in surprised recog altlon at the unexpected arrival, utter­ ed a cry and approached. “Meade, my son! Baek so soon?” cried Stillman and seized tbe band of the one who had returned. Meade nodded. "Back again, dad. and glad to get here.” ho said quickly.

He is the custodian of the nation's morality; upon his shoulders rests the "ark of the covenant” and be to more responsive to religious in­ fluences than any other class of cit­ izenship The farmers of this nation have built 120,000 churches ;at a cost of 1750,000,000 and the annual contribu­ tion of the nation toward all church institutions approximates >200,000,000 per annum. Tbe farmers of the Uni­ ted States build 22 churches per day. There are 20,000.000 rural church com­ municants on the farm, and 54 per cent of the total membership of all churches reside in the country.

Ths Functions of a Rural Church. If the rural churches today are go­ ing to render a service which this age demands, there must be co-operation between the religious, social and eco­ nomic life ®f the community. The church to attain its fullest meas­ ure of success must enrich the Uvea of the people In the community It serves; It must build character; devel­ op thought and increase the efficiency of human Ufe. It must serve the so­ cial, business and Intellectual, as well as the spiritual and moral side of Ufe. If religion does not make a man more capable, more useful and more jusL what good Is It? We want a practical religion, one we can live by and farm by, as well as die by. Fewer and Better Churches. Blessed is that rural community which has but one place of worship. While competition is the life of trade, It is death to the rural church and moral starvation to the community. Petty sectarianism is a scourge that blights the life, ana tbe church preju­ dice saps the vitality, of many com­ munities. Au over-churched commun­ ity to a crime against religion, a seri­ ous handicap to society and a useless tax upon agriculture While denominations are essential and church pride commendable, the high teaching of universal Christianity must prevail if the rural church Is to fulfill its mission to agriculture. We frequently have three or four churches in a community which Is not able to adequately support one Small congregations attend services once a month and all fail to perform the re­ ligious functions of the community. The division of religious forces and the breaking Into fragments of moral efforts is ofttimes little lees' than a calamity and defeats the very purpose they seek to promote. The evils of too many churches can be minimized by co-operation. The social and economic life of a rural community are respective units and cannot be successfully divided by de­ nominational lines, and the churches can only occupy this Important field by co-operation and co-ordination. The efficient country church will definitely .serve its community by lead­ ing in all worthy efforts at community building.

Wishing you the compliments of the season, Yours to please, FRED G. BAKER RESUMPTION OF THE GREAT FAKE. The convening of congress In Its short session brings to our mind one of the greatest and most ridiculous fakes that has everbeen foisted up­ on -the American people. And yet the fake was fostered by the government. It was the Congressional Record, the only really official publication in this country. Many of our readers have received from time to time copies of speeches purporting to have been delivered by some senator or congressman in Washington. Some of these speeches were act­ ually delivered on the floor of the house or senate, but many were pure fakes. Here's the way it worked. Congressman X— was ambitious. He wanted to electrify his constitu­ ents by the delivery of a great speech, an oratorical effort which was calcu­ lated to enhance hla fame with the voters at home. Not being able to secure ihe neces­ sary recognition for a speech from the presiding officer, he carefully wrote out his remarks, interspersed them with numerous exclamations of "applause." etc., and then wended his way to the session. There he arose from his seat, cleared his throat, and with impres­ sive dignltv asked "permission to nrint." which of course was grsciousIv accorded him. That ended his "speech” on the floor. But the Congressional Record was more obliging than the obdurate .pre­ siding officer. The Record printed his "speech" In full—that speech that was never delivered—and verv renerpusly the; government printing office supplied tbe congre«sman with thousands of copies df hla "speech” for free dis­ tribution to an admiring constitu­ ency. And the tax payers pall the bin. If a country publisher resorted to a hundredth p»rt of the fakerv that has been inflicted unon the public by the Congressional Record he would be cowhlded and driven out of any self-respecting community. And yet the Congressional Record Is the national newspaper! A national fake! Bunk! ' " yzOt/ZZ be able to make your OOLSV Mid Mr. Slmpwn.

You go to school when old enough to enter and learn all of the latest subjects which by tbe time you graduate you are ready or qualified to do or enter In­ to some business—or if you wish, go on with your school course, as any­ one can get an education whether poor or rich. While In school you are aiming for some business which you prefer best and might do with your beat ability that you may succeed, and set an example for younger peo­ ple who are following In your foot­ steps. When now you get In some business you can look back and see some great mistake you have made; these you try to correct so as not to let others make the same mistake. Borne people say, "If only every­ body knew what they were fitted Tor, they eould go on with this profession and make good." But would this make as good citizens for this coun­ try? They might just study on this one trade and be very Ignorant on other subjects, which are coming up in life. Therefore many positions would be unoccupied as many people would take the trade they could learn the quickest, ao as to be earn­ ing money. The different classes of people that make up life are the wealthy, mid­ dle class and the poor. Probably the middle class are the most thrifty, al­ though many of the poorer class are. The wealthy class take life easy and don't build dp success in life. Life consists of the manner of liv­ ing as the manner of the wealthy, middle class and poor, live, eat and enjoy life. Moral conduct comes In life as the way the different classes show their behavior. Present ex­ istence should be so arranged as shoufd be. continued better or as good in the future. Human affairs, occupstion and ambition, which make men active, earnest and full of slacrity, so if they succeed they are not dangerous to life, while if they become sleek in their work they may look on life with an evil eye—this all builds up life. ment the causes, and formulate the laws governing tbe same.

The stringency of the money market, coupled with the backward season, has created a condition which has never occurred before. Circumstances have so shaped themselves that we are forced to slaughter our new, magnificent stock. We must have the money at all hazards. With a gigantic stock on hand, we have struggled against a backward season. But all in vain. Unable to bear the strain any longer, we are forced to sacrifice stock in order to save our good name, which is more than money to us. Heroic sacrifices are sometimes necessary. We meet the situation promptly and emphatically. The urgent demaud for money brought this gigantic money saving tale on us, which we pass along to you. The immensity of our .stock, the vital danger and burden it applies at this critical financial stagnation, forces us to reduce our stock by offering it for CASH at prises less than the actual cost to manufacture. Right now in the very heart of the season, when other merchants are and should be realizing a large profit, we offer our entire stock—nothing restricted, at prices that will take the entire community by surprise. It is not necessary to go into details relative to the high grade merchandise we carry, for every man, woman and child in this vicinity knows that anything bought from this store is the best money could buy, and during this sale we will zealously live up to our reputation. EVERY ARTICLE GUARANTEED—not a single article in otir entire stock restricted. We guarantee to sell as we advertise or will pay you for your time and trouble in calling. The opening day will be the greatest merchandiary sight you ever saw, so be on hand when the door opens. Never before—never again, will you have such an opportunity to buy High Grade Merchandise in the very heart of the season at prices such as we are quoting.

Washington. Dec. 15.—Th© admlnis tration’s "economy pulley" is main talned in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill reported tc tbe bouse by the appropriations com mlttee on Monday. The estimates art cut consistently all down the line. The senate passed a bill approprikt Ing >1,000,000 for eradication of the foot-and-mouth disease. Although the bill carries >2,285,100 for an agricultural census, an item not tn last year’s measure, the total reported is not greatly above that of last session. Including the allowance for the can sA, the bill carries >38,744,733.50, a cut of approximately >1,982,000 tn the estimates submitted. The amount ap propriated last year was >37,625,789. No Increase in Salaries. "No salaries are Increased and but very few additional employments are provided for in aay of tbe departments of the government," says tbe report filed by Representative Johnson of South Carolina, chairman of the sub­ committee which framed the bill. Nearly 17,000 salaries, ranging from that of the president down to laborers and charwomen, are provided for. ' The committee also economised a bit at its own expense. It inserted a legislative rider providing that here­ after members of congress shall re­ ceive only five cents per mile going to and returning from the sessions. The present allowance is 20 cents per mile each way. To Reduce Pension Force. Reductions in the force of the pen sion office and the post office depart­ ment are the principal salary saving items in the bill. These reductions, however, are more than offset by the provision for the employment of 1,000 temporary clerks to aid in tabulating the agri­ cultural census. Secretary Redfield's estimates for the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce were cuL He asked >100,000 for "promotion and developments of foreign commerce," but receives only >75,000. The item for investigat­ ing cost of production was cut from >75,000 to >50.000; that for promot­ ing commerce with Central and South America was reduced from >100,000 to >75,000 and the estimate of >10,000 to gather statistics of internal commerce was lowered.

There was a gentle snow falling, just enough to add to the street the touch of Christmas. But nowhere could Rosie see the kind Santy man ot her street, who had told her such won­ derful tales of toys, fairies and of the real country of deep hills and red sunSuddenly she thought of something, a something so different that it made her heart go thffmpty-thurnp. She would go to the wonderful toyshop, just around the corner and boo for her­ self, if her friend was there. But not a tired, hurried clerk of the shop had time to answer Rosie's ques­ tions. Finally she approached a tall gray-haired man standing In the center of the long aisle.

Me and Pietro love you so much. I never would have found you if tbe beautiful lady hadn't—" But Rosie didn't finish the sentence, for Santy hadn't beard a word she was saying. He was staring with deep, btrange eyes at the lady, who had drawn nearer the sick man's bed. “Bls," he whispered. "Bob," she answered. . There Rosie sat with shining eyes and a little heart thumping and lis­ tened to the wonderful story of her Banty man and the lady. Santy was none other than the lady's brother, whom she hadn't seen since the day, years and years ago, he ran away to sea. And the lady? She was the beau­ tiful fairy of the toy-shop. "And did you know all the time she owned it?" "Why didn’t you go and see her?" "Because I was too poor, sick and proud.” Now, of course, like all stories where fairies and .Banty hold forth, every­ body was glad and lived happy ever afterward.

If there is a curfew in your vicinity, it is probably a signal, imposed by tbe town authorities, which, when sounded la tbe evening, requires small boys to retire within doors. In its'beginning the curfew served a far different pur­ pose, and applied to all classes ot whatever age. In the middle ages, when we first hear of the curfew, the curfew bell was commonly tolled in cities as a warning to all inhabitants to extinguish or “over up all fires and lights. This was a common practice throughout Europe and was a very necessary precaution against fire. All of tbe bouses were of wood and the fires were kindled in a bole in the floor, with no other veot than another hole tn the roof above the hearth. Un­ der such circumstances it was all too easy for a fire to start, and wooden buildings and crude firefighting appa­ ratus offered small check to a Are once it was under way. Many histories state that the curfew was introduced into England by William the Conquerr-, who In 1051 ruled that on the ringL.g of the curfew bell at 8 p. m. all flres and lights should be immediately extinguished. Students of history have discovered traces of a curfew in England in much earlier times and Ipsist that It was In use in Oxford in the time of Alfred tbe Groat—American Boy. no more.

ACKNOWLEDGE IT Nashville has to Bow to the Inevita­ ble—Scores of Citizens Prove It After reading the public statement of this representative citizen of Nashville given below, you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which proved wbeneficial years ago with the kidneys can naturally be expected to perform the same work in similarcases. Read this: J. E. Surine, retired farrgkr, Gregg A Phillip Sts., Nashville, Micb., says: "I think camping out in the army was what brought on kidney trouble. The kidney secretions passed too frequently and were painful. I had pains in my baok and through my loins. I suffer­ ed rheumatic twinges and was lame and sore across my back. When I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised, I got a supply at Von W. Furniss’ Drug Store. They relieved me of tbe trouble. This was some time ago and I have bad very Httle caufte for com laint since.

Hardly bad she struck when her decks became black with men. She sent up several rocket signals and be­ gan to lower busts. Tbe life saving station at that point noted for its treacherous drag of cur­ rents, immediately went to tbe rescue. Upon arrival of tbe lifeboats st tbe now heavily listed vessel’s side they discovered her to be manned anti load­ ed with Japanese. A petty officer explained hurriedly in very pidgin English that they bad bad engine trouble—that they were a vessel bound from Vancouver to Honolulu and that they bud put back to Ban Francisco for repairs. There was very little confusion In the rescue. Tbe pas sengers and crew of the schooner be­ haved with admirable composure, and between their Jwn and the station'a boats the men were rapidly taken ashore, where they buddled and chat­ tered to themselves while waiting for their comrade* to be brought to land. If tbe life saving crew expected to be gracefully thanked for their hu­ mane and heroic efforts, however, they were doomed to a different fate. Hard­ ly had tbe last boat emptied when tbe men fell upon their rescuers without mercy. They died to a man. with practically no sound to mark their end. Tbs life saving station stands on a fiat beneath the higher ground of the Presidio reservation, and upon this al­ most level beach tbe buddled mass of Japanese straightened their lines and began to move forward.

Last Thursday being the sixtieth birthday anniversary of Mrs. Eunice Mead, her daughter*, Mrs. Bertha Wilcox of Hastings, and Mias Bernice, who lives with her, planned a sunprise for her that was a surprise indeed. Mrs. Mead was invited to take dinner with her son, Lloyd, and family, and during her absence, Mr*. Wilcox came down from Hastings and proceeded to arrange for the forty guests who had been invited, The greater number of them were old friend* and neighbors from Barryville. where Mrs. Mead formerly lived. Those who were Invited from the village were relatives or near friends. After all had arrived, Mr*. Mead was brought home, and It would be difficult to describe her look of surprise as she opened the door and saw so many familiar faces, However, she wa* soon master of the situation and went about shaking hands and greeting all with her usual smile. The rooms were prettily decorated with am I lax and red carnation*, and . the afternoon was pleasantly spent in visiting and recallIng old times. Suddenly the signal was given for order, and Mrs. Julia Marshall, in behalf of the guests, presented Mrs. Mead with a table cloth and napkin* of fine linen; also a china cup and saucer. Mrs. Marshall, having taught school Jn Barryville some . forty year* ago, spoke of instances which recalled many pleasant memories to all who were present. In a neat little speech of thanks, Mrs. Mead made all feel that she thoroughly appreciated the gifts, as well as the presence of her friends. The summons came for all to march to the dining room, where a buffet luncheon was served, consist­ ing of olives, pickles, sandwiches and coffee, for the first course, and wa* followed with brick Ice cream and cake. The chief attraction in the dining room was a huge birthday cake, which occupied the center of the table, and was surrounded by a wreath of smilax and red carnations, adorned with numerous lighted can­ dles. At 5:30 o’clock all said good­ bye, wishing Mrs. Mead many more happy birthdays. WOMAN'S 1.1TKRARY CLUB. One of the jolllest meeting* ever held by the Nashville Woman** Lit­ erary club was the Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Lillie Vance. The rooms were beautifully decorat­ ed with holly, bells and candles, while the most ornamental thing was a beautiful Christmas tree waiting for the "girls". Every member had drawn a name and rhade a present for another and written an original verse describing the gift. No one knew there was so much poetical talent in the club. Each member also received a red mosquito netting sack of popcorn, peanuts and candy; very reminiscent of childhood day*. The only thing lacking was the mistletoe and that wouldn't have been of much use, as the only “gentleman'' present was Santa Claus, who did very nicely without It. Before hi* arrival the following program was enjoyed. Vocal sole, "Star of the East", by Myrtle Caley, and sung as only Mrs. Caley can sing that beautiful song. Miss Henderson, a guest of Mr*. Josephine Brumm, played. “The Spin­ ning Song" so acceptably she bad to respond to an encore. Mrs. Lulu Green sang a Christmas song, "In Old Judea."accompanied by her daughter. Gladys. Gertrude Martens played "The Butterfly" in her usual brilliant manner. Next came the real treat of the afternoon, a Christmas story. "A Few Bars in the Key of G." very happily reviewed by Mrs. Belle Marble. A duet, "Yuletide Bells,” played by Mesdames Linna Tuttle and Mae Northrup, fittingly closed a most en­ joyable program. A CHRISTMAS QUOTATION. Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children; to remember the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old; to stop asking how much friends love you. and to ask yourself whether you love them enough; to bear in mind the other things that other people have to bear in their hearts; to try to understand what those who live in the same house really want without waiting for them to tell you; to trim your lamp so that it will give you more light and less smoke, and to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts, and a garden for your kindly feelings with the gate open—are you willing to do these things for a day? Then you can keep Christmas.—Henry Van Dyke. GOING OUT OF BCHINKHH. 0. G. Munroe will retire from the clothing business in Nashville, his business affair* having been placed in the hands of Len W.

The real Christ-[ mas spirit fills only thosp whosethought* are upon the happiness ( they hope to • bestow upon their friends and upon the unfortunates whu think they have no friends. It’s not so much what you give os to whom you give. There's a poor wo­ man living around the corner. No one is thinking of what she would like for Christmas. She'd be the second .happiest woman In town if you were to walk in on her early Christmas morning with a gift of something warm for her to wear. Tbe happiest woman would be my little girl who brings it. There Is old Black Jim, who shovels the snow and carries out ashes. Never thought of him? Well think of him to tbe extent of a pair ot warm mittens. Knit them yourself. Don't know how? Your mother will start you. It will be twice as much fun for you and old Jim's look of gratitude when you give them to him will repay you more than all the fine phrases of all the young squirts to whom you send neckties they won’t wear and pin­ cushions they won't use. Try Dad’s prescription, daughter, and you’ll be the happiest girl in town Christmas day. You will find that it isn't get­ ting what you want for Christmas that makes for real joy. You'll dis­ cover something. That's right. Start now. OF COURSE—WHY NOT? Here's the why of the will: 1. There is just as much money in the country now as there ever was.' 2.The farmers have just harvest­ ed one ot the biggest crops tn history and are selling at good prices. 3.Federal reserve banks have been opened and millions of dollars of new money will be placed at the disposal of the banks of the country. 4. The banks in turn will have plenty of money to loan to big man­ ufacturing and other industries for operating capital. 5. These concerns in turn will start tbe wheels ot commerce to re­ volving and millions of unemployed men and women will return to work. 6. Foreign governments are placing heavy orders for all kinds of supplies needed in prosecuting their 7. Other orders for American made goods are pouring in from all parts of the world. 8.The financial situation has clarified, banks are opening up their vaults, and great manufacturing in­ dustries are preparing to open again on an extensive scale, many of them even now calling in employees who were laid off many weeks ago. Yes, you can dig down and spend that Christmas money without any fear of where the next dollar Is com­ ing from. It is on the way—and bi* ting the high places. NOW BILL CAN SLEEP.

Thaw cannot be taken back for .10' days under the decision. Thirty days must elapse before tbe court's mandate Is handed down and he.cannot be removed to New York before that time. State Must Make Next Move. Tbe next move in the case is for the New York authorities to take. It has been said that the state does not intend to prosecute Thaw, but will re­ turn him at once to Matteawan. It this is done Thaw will have grounds for appeal to the federal court for a writ of habeas corpus.

Jerome Confident of Success. A tentative plan* of campaign has already been laid out. Former Dis­ trict Attorney Jerome, who has con­ ducted the long fight against Thaw, said: "I expected nothing less. And I ex­ pect nothing less now than the ultl, mate return of Thaw to Matteawan.” “Will Thaw be tried on the con­ spiracy indictment?" he was aske<}. “That is a matter for the attorney general to decide.” ho said “But I assume he will deem it wise that Thaw be tried Inasmuch as be has been extradited for the offense of con­ spiracy.” "Can he then be admitted to ball?" was asked. "Of course," was the reply. “But If he Is the superintendent of Mattea­ wan wilR then present a detainer un­ der which Thaw will be taken to Mat­ teawan as an insane man to await his trial.” When It Is Darkest By his own obaervatioiis ou thou­ sands of nights W.

There are seven important points of superiority which have put the Saginaw silo first and these will make money for you, so before giving your order for a silo call in and get a book telling you about a silo and let us give you prices on whatever size and kind you want.
